The other day I was getting hungry and decided to go to KFC. My kids were at there grandmas and my hunny was working. So I went for a walk to KFC which is about 10 minutes from my house. When I got there I noticed an Old man sitting alone having lunch. He looked sad and very lonly. I got my order and went over to him and asked if I could sit with him and share lunch together. He looks up at me with a tear in his eye and says "yes you may share lunch with me have a seat dear."
I sat and we talked for a while. A week ago he lost his wife. They had been married for 50+ years. She had a very bad illness and didnt recover from it. I told him I was so sorry for his loss and asked if there was anything I could do for him. He says "hunny you have done enough by sitting and talking with me. You remind me of my love when we were young." I started to tear up. He says "I believe she sent you here to have lunch with me and tell me she is ok." I told him I didnt know why I was there and why I had asked to sit with him I just had a feeling I needed to. He says "thats because you are my angel. She sent you here" I said well maybe thats why im here then. We sat and talked a while longer and then he said he had to go. We said our goodbyes and he asked if I would come back and have lunch with him another day. I said sure when? He says "you will know when. She will send you to me when I need you again"
Now I dont know what I did other than to have lunch with an old man. But by the end of our lunch he was smiling and humming a tune as he left. Maybe I was sent there by her to cheer him up. Maybe she knew he needed a friendly face to talk to. Maybe I am an "angel" in some way. Im just glad I made an old mans day. Im glad I could be there to listen to him and to make him smile. John...Where ever you are I hope you are smiling and know that your wife loves you! We will meet again soon.
What is your take on this?
