Mum was not expecting to read THIS on her restaurant receipt when she went to pay

Single mum of two Suzanne Maughan took her daughter out for a special lunch just the two of them. However, little did she realise that she would meet a woman who would change her day for the better. 

"My precious girl and I went to breakfast this morning and after sitting down, a lady was seated at the table right next to us," the mum wrote on the Love What Matters Facebook page.  

"She was by herself and kept looking over and smiling at us. When our food came, I began to cut up Hayley's pancakes when the lady leaned over and said to her, 'You must have the best mom in the whole world. Never forget how amazing she is.'"

The woman, named Mary, then went on to explain that she has a 49-year-old daughter who she doesn't get to see every day, because she lives in Baltimore.

Suzanne then went on to explain that they would have little conversations throughout the meal, before Mary got up to leave and said goodbye.

However, when the mum-of-two went up to the till to pay for her food she got a shock when she realised that Mary had, in fact, paid it for her.

"When we went up front to pay for our food, Mary had already left but waiting for us was the news she had paid for our food and left us a sweet note on the receipt," Suzanne wrote.

"Mary doesn't know I'm a single mother of two. She doesn't know how difficult this week has been for me.

"She doesn't know my anxieties and insecurities and how much I pray to not feel so lonely. But God knows.

"And today, Mary listened to that prompting and was able to be our angel, to remind us how loved we are.

"So thank you, Mary. You have made such a difference in my life with your kindness."
