A Florida woman grieving her baby who was stillborn last year decided to pay for a one-year-old boy's birthday cake as a way to honor his memory.
The heart-wrenching gesture was posted to Facebook by bakery counter clerk, Nick DeClemente, who works at a Publix in Jacksonville.
DeClemente was confused and asked if there was a particular order she was looking to pay for.
'She said, ''No, I want to pay for one anonymously,'' DeClemente wrote in the October 10 Facebook post, which has received hundreds of likes.

A woman who is grieving the loss of her stillborn son commemorated what would have been his first birthday by buying another one-year-old a cake

The woman ended up paying for a Sesame themed birthday cake for a boy named David
He says the woman then broke down in tears and told him she had given birth to a stillborn son a-year-ago and thought paying anonymously for another one-year-old's birthday cake would be a nice way to honor him.
'I was a little lost for words just because of how in awe I was of the moment,' DeClemente told Fox News.
The clerk went through several cake orders and picked out a Sesame Street-inspired birthday cake order for a boy named David.
He told the grieving mother that the cake, which serves 20 people, costs $32.99.
She gladly paid and thanked him for allowing her to do it.
'She told me, 'Thank you' and appreciated that I let her do this,' DeClemente said. 'I hope that this lady finds peace through this tribute and that the customer receiving this gift will, if nothing else, pay it forward.'
In his post he shared a photo of the order form for the cake and the woman's receipt.
