With everything that is going on in the world negatively, it is always nice to hear good stories of good people who go out of their way to help their fellow Americans. Especially in times of need. Which is exactly why this story will warm your heart.
Tea Party Org reported,
“Landon Routzong of Troy, Alabama, has a big heart for the age of 9, and he proved just how big over the weekend at a Chick-fil-A drive-thru. While he and his mother were waiting in line to pick up their lunch, Landon Routzong noticed the Florida license plate on the back of the car in front of theirs. So, he told his mom he wanted to pay for that car’s meal.
“I didn’t want them to waste their money on food because they’re trying to escape the hurricane,” Landon Routzong told ABC News. “I felt like I should help out.” But in order to pay for the meal, he had to get to the drive-thru window before the Florida car did. As a result, his mother, Tara Parker Routzong, gave him her debit card and told him to run.
The man in the Florida car agreed to let Landon Routzong pay for his meal. Later, the man pulled over to meet the family, telling the mother and her son he was from Miami and was fleeing Hurricane Irma. He said was on his way to Birmingham to stay with relatives. “Landon and I both had tears in our eyes from how appreciative he was,” Tara Parker Routzong wrote on Facebook in a Friday post detailing the encounter. Routzong’s post has since been shared over 700 times has over 1,800 likes.”
Tara Parker Routzong told Inside Edition she and her husband always try to help out. She was proud to see her son do the same thing. “A 9-year-old could be focused on so many other things, but whenever a situation presents itself, Landon is always thinking of how we can help,” she said. Routzong said the encounter gave her hope that she is doing a good job as a mother.
“I often feel like I’m failing because I can’t do it all, all the time and then things like this happen and remind me that I don’t have to,” she said in her Facebook post. “My most important job is going just fine.” Hurricane Irma was downgraded to a tropical storm after it made landfall along the coast of Florida over the weekend. But the storm’s overall damage has been severe, with more still to come.
Irma still had sustained winds of up to 70 mph as of Monday afternoon, while over 6.2 million Floridians have experienced power outages. Irma is considered to be one of the worst hurricanes ever formed in the Atlantic Ocean.”
The Facebook post read the following,
“Went to Chick Fil A for lunch today because yum. Landon saw the car in front of us was from Florida (we have been talking about Irma today) and he declared we were paying for their meal and I agreed. But how do you pay for the car in front of you?? You run toward their window with a debit card in hand and scare the mess out of them lol The man has left his home in Miami and was passing through to go stay with family in Birmingham. I told him we hoped he returned to his house untouched and that we’d keep him in our thoughts. Landon and I both had tears in our eyes from how appreciative he was. I often feel like I’m failing because I can’t do it all, all the time and then things like this happen and remind me that I don’t have to. My most important job is going just fine.”
All of the hurricanes that hit Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Carribean Islands to name a few devastated the communities that it touched and left nothing but wreckage in its path. Now they are finally getting cleaned up but it has been a process and so many more are still struggling to recoup what they lost. Knowing that young men and women like this are out there doing good deeds brings such a positive light to these tragedies.
Next time you see someone struggling, or escaping hardship go out of your way like this young man to make their day a positive one. We could all learn a good lesson from him. Even though he is so young.
