Mum reduced to tears as stranger leaves emotion-charged note about her kids on car

A mum was reduced to tears after a stranger left a note about her children on her car.

Parked in the Leeds Matalan car park, the mum found the note and assumed the worst, according to a Facebook note revealing the note, reports Birmingham Live.

But rather than bad news or criticism, the stranger wrote "You have beautiful children! Thanks for making me smile today from my car."

The stranger - who signed the note as ‘Sarah’ then added: "From one mum to another - you are doing a fab job!!"

On Facebook, the grateful mum shared it saying: "If you were to see a note on your car on returning from a shop, you’d automatically assume the worst… wouldn’t you?!

"Well I instantly thought 'oh god, what is this?

"Then I read the note… and wow! I instantly started tearing up but held the happy tears back so my beautiful children didn’t see!"

One reader replied: "that is so thoughtful of this lady. I bet it made the mum's day. I love being told I have lovely children."

A second said: "Why pull someone apart when you can help them to fly? Don't be a negative person, be a SARAH!."

A third commented: "That's beautiful. I would have assumed the worst too. Good on Sarah for her thoughtfulness."

"Costs nothing to be nice, the majority you pass everyday would need an instruction booklet on where to begin, it's not in them," said another.

"How lovely, pity there aren’t more nice people like that instead of spitting venom at every opportunity," said another.

"What a lovely person she must be who left that lovely note. It would have made that mother's day who had a crying baby !" said another.
