That was a sweet story. Dont  get teary eyed over not seeing kids in 20  years. He may not be as sweet as you think. Something probably went on  in his past. I have not seen my family 20 to 35 years not my choice.  My dad remarried and he cut me off simply because his new wife told him too.

I’m so sorry for your situation.   Families do some awful things to each other that I will never understand.

Re: I had dinner with a complete stranger🙂

what a lovely story.

you were at Wendy’s for a reason for a quiet meal, but somehow you knew this person needed some companionship and you and your husband were kind to give him the kindness he needed at that time

@homedecor1  Bless your heart. I love your story. My dad never met a stranger and I've taken after him in that regard. I seem to be able to talk to complete strangers easier than talking to friends, I sometimes think. God bless and keep up your kindness.

Thanks for sharing this very nice story. "Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

I love this story - it brought a smile to my face!  You all went for what you thought would be a "typical meal" and it turned into so much more.  Thank you for making all of us aware of finding joy in the most unassuming places!
