Aloha in Dennys Kapolei, Kapolei, Oahu
ALOHA: Reposting from Janee Cisneros "Not stolen… Backstory about me without getting too personal… A week ago I decided to finally face my fears and go out in public with my daughter…I have severe social anxiety…even more so since I had my daughter…and I don’t EVER go out alone with just me and her…I would always need to have my wife or a close friend with me… Today I faced my ultimate fear of dining in a restaurant (Dennys Kapolei) the people, the noises, on top of being able to handle a meltdown from my daughter if it did occur…I did a lot of self talk before walking into that restaurant….telling myself that I will get through dining in without breaking down… We got seated…Everything was going as ok as it could..we were waiting for our main food…I tried to keep my daughter occupied at the table so she didn’t disturb everyone trying to enjoy their morning breakfast..then the meltdown started…I asked if the waitress could please pack my food to go instead of dining in because I knew she would just get louder.. I saw an older man across the restaurant looking pretty annoyed hence why I decided to get our food to go instead..Out of nowhere the older man yells across the restaurant at my daughter “kuli kuli, kuli kuli, shut up shut up….” The normal me would have snapped back…but in all honesty I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted to get out of that restaurant ASAP!! He scared my daughter by yelling and made her cry even more… My daughter just turned TWO!!! I became so overwhelmed with him yelling and her having a meltdown that I broke down in tears…I am a mama trying to get through the days that are tough, along with the battles that I am trying to face and overcome.. I get my daughter out of the seat and a man that was sitting right next to us came over and offered to help carry our stuff to my car..as I went to pay a group came up to me and said they wanted to pay for our breakfast…I thanked all of them over and over..I am so grateful for these people who picked me up when I was falling apart….I would 100% do the same for another person if they were going through what I was..thank you also to our waitress for being so kind and patient.. If you’re reading this and you helped me get through this morning….thank you from the bottom of my heart… To the man who yelled across the restaurant..you truly hurt the both us…but, I don’t wish any bad upon you and I forgive you…please show some grace the next time you hear a crying/screaming toddler…and if you’re going through some tough times as well, I hope for better days to come your way.. Please be kind to others..you never know their battles or stories." Let's continue to spread aloha and help each other in our community!
