- 7 years ago
A heartwarming video has emerged of a woman explaining in sign language how she brightened the day of one of her customers at work.
The footage, shot in Orlando, FL, USA on February 26, shows Juliet Lyan telling the viewer how she put a smile on a man's face by communicating with him in American sign language at the restaurant she works at.
"As he came in, he didn't try to speak, he just pointed at what he wanted and it really caught my eye so I offered to help him," she wrote.
"When I notice him signing to himself, I took a leap of faith and signed to him, the man's face lit up and he quickly became comfortable signing with me."
"After this life changing experience, not only was this man happier but my view about life changed; realizing that it is not that hard to accept one another and knowing how to communicate with someone in their own language can really change someone," she added.
