In a world filled with turmoil and uncertainty, family is one
of the important support systems we can have in our lives. They are
there for us regardless of the circumstances, and they pass no judgment.
Family members love another unconditionally, and they act as a catalyst
to keep us going through life.
So when we lose our family, it can truly be a devastating experience.
For one stranger in Utah, losing his whole family left him pondering
and wondering what his purpose in life was.
In a
Facebook post that has gone viral with over 67,000 shares and 192,000 likes, a woman recounts an experience while working at Denny’s.
A stranger enters a Denny’s in Utah, and the woman greets him at the
door. Immediately, he asks to be seated at a table that’s served by a
“waitress who is a single mother.” This was an incredibly odd request,
but coincidentally, this woman’s coworker, Crystal, was a single mother
who had an open table.
For the next 2 hours, this stranger sat at his table, not ordering
anything or eating. Instead, he intently observed the families around
him.
Then, when they were finished eating, he chose to do something
absolutely shocking. No one could have expected him to do this… Read on
below to find out what he did.
The caption for the photo says:
“Today I met an angel. You came into a Denny’s I work at
in Utah. You asked me, ‘Can I have a waitress who is a single mother?’ I
thought it was very odd, but I sat you in Crystal’s section. You sat
there for 2 hours just watching people. 7 families came in and ate while
you were there and you paid every one of their bills, over $1,000 you
paid for people you didn’t even know. I asked, ‘Why did you do that?’
You simply said, ‘Family is everything, I’ve lost all mine.’ Looking
into your eyes while you said that made me tear up (It’s why I walked
away so quickly) as soon as I got in the back I broke down in tears
because your eyes had so much pain in them. I just wanted to let you
know, the waitress Crystal that you requested was living in a shelter
with her son until she was able to save up enough to get a place. Your
bill was $21.34 and you left her a $1,500 tip, because of you she gets
her new place next week, because of you 7 families ate for free. Crystal
told me she prayed the night before for a miracle and God sent you. You
left before any of us could say thank you, I hope you read this because
you’re truly an amazing person and you stole the hearts of every one of
us here. Thank you.”
What an unbelievable gesture by this stranger! While it’s
heartbreaking to hear about his own family, it’s heartwarming to hear
how he left a profound impact his waitress and seven other families.
Please
SHARE this man’s act of kindness with everyone you know. He needs to be thanked!
