A New Jersey police officer left a very generous tip for a young woman who is seven months pregnant with her first child, after she served him lunch at a diner.
A Voorhees Township police officer left a $100 tip on a $8.75 check for Courtney Cadigan, 23, whose baby is due on April 1, after he finished his meal at the Lamp Post Diner in Clementon on Friday.
On the check he wrote, 'Enjoy ur 1st, you will never forget it,' and then left it at the cash register without a word about it.
'I'm just really grateful for this officer's kindness,' Courtney told Patch. 'It's truly a blessing to come across people like him and I'm forever thankful for that.'
The server's father, Brian Cadigan, shared a photo of the tip on Facebook on Saturday, praising the 'lovely message' and the officer's incredibly kind gesture.
In a testament to the selflessness of his good deed, the officer has asked to remain anonymous.

Courtney said she didn't talk much with the officer, but that she thought he may have overheard her telling someone else it was her first baby.
She also said she thought he may have seen her struggling throughout her work, due to how far along she is in her pregnancy.
Brian Cadigan shared a lengthy message about his daughter's encounter over Facebook on Saturday, and how he was sharing the story to highlight the good work these people do in our communities, when all too often police officers make the news for negative things.
