Getting a table at the hot restaurant in town can be difficult. It can sometimes feels like you always choose the time when everyone else wants to eat there. For some people it just isn’t worth the wait.
But for one elderly lady she wasn’t leaving until she ate at her favorite breakfast spot in Michigan, even if it meant standing all morning.

Since then, this beautiful story has captured the hearts of all those who read it, and I can understand why.
“Cue the four of us at our table with our hearts MELTING as he ushers her over to his table and pulls out the chair next to him, not across from him, to sit down,” Heather writes on Facebook.
Heather could not stop following the conversation between the two and observed how at ease they were chatting with each other.

Here is the restaurant where it all happened.
Heather writes on Facebook some wise words: “With all the negative, hateful ridiculousness happening in our country, it was nice to see and be reminded that there are still good people out there among us.”

Like and share this wonderful story with your family and friends. Let it be a reminder for them that it’s the little things in life that can make a big difference!
