"What would you do?"
Me: "Cry."
@@poppyflower7873 people should still offer to sit with someone. If you don’t like it just tell them thanks but you’d prefer to be alone
@@poppyflower7873 then don't go in a public place full of people, duh! Who goes in public to grieve anyways if they don't wanna be bothered? That's just stupid
Yes girl 😭
@@poppyflower7873 lmao, first of all, it’s not only old people I’m referring to. I never said that. Second of all, saying thank you but I’d prefer to be alone right now should not be insulting to anybody. In most cases the person is gonna be grateful someone offered to sit with them and if you’re one of the rare situations where someone doesn’t want that, then you literally just have to say no thanks. It sounds like you have your own issues you need to work out if someone caring about you would spoil your entire day
SAME!
Why am I crying for bob who doesn’t exist😭
Probably because it’s so relatable. Happens to everyone
Omg hilarious me too!!
Which means that man is a good actor
Man over here with tears falling out my eyes!
Glad I'm not the only one crying 😅
That last woman was sooo sweet. She made me cry! I love how she sat with him, hugged and comforted him in his time of need. People like her is what makes our world a better place to live in.
Wow. You're weak.
You better not cry. 🎅 🎅 🎅

@@Kelle0284 I guess he's just really sensitive.
@@Kelle0284heheheh this made me laugh
Oh my god, too bad he was just acting. It could've been a love story!
When hearing “life is very short” from an elderly person it hits different no matter how many times I’ve heard it before or from whom 😭
I know "Stu" is an actor, but I'm still crying over the "loss" of his dear friend "Bob."
This show gets me every time...🥺
Same here....I know the agony of loss...
Seeing old men cry is possibly the saddest things ever ;-;
@@grimreaperfearsmesostopthe4955 me too we lost our house mate last year to cancer
I’m 30 seconds in and I know ima cry soon
I just lost a long time friend a few days 😪, so I feel him
This gentleman deserves an Oscar. Probably the only actor that made cry
yeah he is very talented
What about Tom Hanks
@@suryagupta955 I think they mean on the show
Ya I teared up
@@waffz2098 The illiterate man at the milkshake store was also a tearjerker😢
I was raised between two cultures: Japanese and Native American. Respecting and helping our Elders is such a huge part of both cultures. I was terrified of talking to anyone when I was little. But, my mom just wouldn't have any of it. So, I would have been at Stu's table immediately, talked his ear off, taken his number and address so I could drop of food and "visit" with him and washed his car. Maybe that's why my house is a mess!
But your heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 is full.
But your "house" is as beautiful and full as ever!! Love this!
You have a good heart friend. Never let go of it.
You are awesome!!! I’m so proud of people like you!!!
You are getting a happy Rose🌹
Bless you❤
As a Vietnam vet who feels so alone with my feelings, this made me tear up.
@bigteep 🎉
For your service, thank you, sir. 🙏
God bless you sir. Thank you for fighting for my freedom. You truly are a hero, don’t ever forget that. My utmost respect to you.
Thank you for your service, and god bless you. I pray that you find connections with good people who understand you🥺❤️

This show teaches one thing.. Always do the right thing cuz you never know where John Quinones is..

@@sShinso relax i know it was a joke. Just not a good one

Honestly though , I didn't say to do the right thing just cuz of this show. It was just a joke but you @RoyalEnigma got it in a different context.
I know it ain't a good joke but I had nothing else to comment 😜
This might actually be very sweet. I get sad whenever old people feel alone.
In England they established a Minister of Loneliness.
@@TT-rz5td
True. Tracey Crouch. Unfortunately, there are still many many lonely people in the UK
Same I feel sad when they are walking on the street alone aswell
I'm actually tearing up😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔
@@compareandcontrast6629 and in Indiana as well
the woman who hugged him genuinely gave the best advice. i’m glad she was strong and i hope she continues to be strong
I encountered a strong woman at a restaurant. She had just finished eating a salad with lots of onions in it.
I was there... I didn't help the old man eating alone, he helped me. Not at a restaurant, but at a park near my house.
I'm 30 and live in Germany and back in corona times, I was on unpaid leave for over half a year, my girlfriend lost her job, she had to go back live with her parents. My mother was in hospital and I couldn't fly back home because of the restrictions... I started heavily drinking. In an effort to control my drinking, I would walk in the park near where I live and then sit on a bench, alone and watch the river. Contemplating. An elderly man greeted me everytime he saw me and one time, he sat down next to me and we started talking.
Guy was 97 years old and a WWII veteran. He was also alone, his wife had died, buried a son, only family he had was his daughter, living in Spain. So we hung out and it was tremendous. He was a very kind, generous and intelligent man. He really had seen it all. Yet, he still had a smile on his face and a desire for life. I learned some stuff about life from that old vet. We had even invited each other a few times during corona, back when "social gatherings" were forbidden. He told me war stories, how Germany was rebuilt after the war, etc. I mostly told him about tech news and the history of Bulgaria, my home country. Sadly I haven't heard anything of him since late 2021.
I learned from neighbors he had been admitted into an old folks home, but that's it. No address, no details.
So Sgt. H.Kessler, thank you for the good conversations and I hope you found peace! You helped me in my time of need, even when you were almost 100 years old!
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
That man is a good actor. He had me in tears.
honestly, like i knew he was acting but it still made me cry
Yea-
@@lollypopppy2277 right-
Me too 🥺
Me too 😢😭💖
Why do I cry everytime even though I know that Bob never died
Because situations like this exist :(
Because you also know that Bob never lived. He never died and he never truly lived, so we associate our own beloved friend to his identity. We imagine what it's like to lose our best friend and equate that to Bob. He may not have lived, but he lived in our hearts for the duration of this video.
Because there are lots of elderly lonely people who feel forgotten. & also because nobody wants to see an old person sad
Empathy
Holy crap! Same!!!
The last woman made me cry. Those were the words I wanted to hear. I lost my grandfather on may 15 2022, and it made my whole life turn upside down, I still have my parents, siblings and friends but when he left it felt different and I feel my heart shatter into pieces everytime I think about him.
Like she said live for better n make good memories ur Grandpa will be proud of u
The last lady had me in tears, what a wonderful woman.
The last woman’s words hit hard. WE are all going to be old and alone one day so we really gotta enjoy every last bit of today and tomorrow 😭😭😭
You don’t need to be old to feel lonely.
@Dravya Mehta your so strong you have got this do you have Snapchat or Instagram? You can message me on @shanxmcluckie for both if you just need a friend or someone to talk to I’ll be here
@@shanxmcluckie OMG, how sweet!! Thank you for forwarding and acting on the message WWYD has let out in this video. 🥺☺️🙂

I'm over hear with a broken heart for a man who is just playing a part, knowing damn well this happens in real life.
This elderly lady at the end, such a warm-hearted person with so much knowledge and great advice. She is so kind and sweet. Her generosity made me emotional. God bless her.
It didn’t even start they’re literally just explaining the situation and I’m sobbing
Same here
yo me too
Lol that’s me and I’m binge watching I need to stop
omg ya i was 2
SAME
I've actually done this with an elderly man at Applebee's... He was sittin alone and I felt so bad for him because he just seemed lost and sad so I took my plate of food and my drink and asked if he minded me sitting down with him to have my lunch and he replied "well of course not have a seat" and as we began talking I discovered that it was his and his wife's 67th anniversary and she had just passed a month before but he wanted to come to Applebee's anyway because it was where they always had their anniversary dinner... We talked for a couple hours while we ate and he told me stories about the past like how him and his wife had met, their first house, their children, what times were like back then etc.. By the time we finished talking I went to pay for my meal and he said "this ones on me" and I replied "no sir I appreciate the offer but that's not why I sat down with you" and he then said "I know but I insist, I've enjoyed the company on this day and you just so happened to of ordered my wife's favorite appetizer (which was mozzarella sticks), please let me pay for this one so I did and with that we said goodbye and I haven't seen the elderly man since then but I often find myself wondering about him and how he's doing or if he's gone on to be with his wife Gwendolyn!!!🕊🙏🏼🕊
How long ago was this
@@Ishlino About 8 or 9yrs ago now.
@@prettygirlbones9928 aww that’s so sweet of you! ❤️
@@jetoux4881 Just something I felt I needed to do as my grandparents were the ones who raised me so when I seen him all alone it tugged at my heart strings!!
😭😢
That last lady’s advice was straight out of a movie, beautiful, poetic, poignant, and so honest and true. :)
This happened to my nephew and I in May we went to IHOP for lunch this elderly man sat next to us all alone so we started having a conversation with us he seemed very happy to have someone to talk with while he ate so we finally finished our meal and I paid for his meal with out him knowing. Made me feel very good inside and also teaching my nephew how to treat others with respect.
Does anyone else just feel a strong sense of sadness when seeing an elder sitting alone? I'm not exactly the emotional type but when I see older people being lonely I just feel so sad. I just don't wanna think about my parents when they're older and I don't wanna think of myself when I'm older. I just wanna do the most in life until it's over and reach out.
YES! Not only elderly people but in general, when I see someone sitting alone in a restaurant I get so sad even if rationally I know that there are thousands of reasons why someone could be eating alone, it could be that they're on a travel trip or just that they enjoy it... but I can't help it, I just get sad and stay sad for the rest of my meal.
i actually sat with a old man for some time ...turns out it was my dad's office friend
If I ever see an elderly old Man or Woman sitting by Himself or Herself at a Restaurant, Like Colton's or Applebee's Or McDonald's Or Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn or Burger King or Subway or Kentucky Fried Chicken or Arby's or Godfather's Pizza, I would Invite him or her to come over to my seat and I would keep him or her company, I would ask him or her if he or she was all right, I would listen to his or her stories about when he or she was young, so that someday I would pass that down to the Next Generation.
My heart just breaks when I see a elderly person sitting alone I am very emotional so I may start crying :(
There’s a 91-year-old woman who lives in my neighborhood and whenever I see her we just sit down and talk about her life and what she’s been through
Old people crying are one of my triggers makes me miss my grandparents
I’m sorry
I miss my parents. I do know they were together almost till the end. When my father died I immediately went to my mom to let her know I love her and I understand how it feels cause I had lost my husband a couple of years before my father died. I was with my dad with my sisters when he died but quickly I thought of my mom. My mother and I were very close.
I'm sorry for your loss you sound like such a strong person. Sorry you had to go through that, hoping you're doing much better now.
my grandpa died when i was 4 and i dont care about it i dont know why people overreact he sucked anyways lol
@@space-sq4es Hope your parents are gone too lad. Would make you grateful. ✌🙃
I lost my grandad just over a week ago and this episode brought back the emotions. so now im crying
Hey, I hope you're doing well,I'm sure your grandad was an amazing person and you guys must've had awesome memories together. Keep your head up high and be strong.
@@vinniefabian6816 thank you Vinnie. the funeral is in 5 days or so ahaha

I am so sorry for ur loss but always remember that he’s forever in your heart and is now your guarding angel ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in tears .... I know what it feels like to be alone. I would never wish that on anyone. May everyone be surrounded by Friends & Family.
To anyone reading this who needs to hear it today....its all going to be ok.
Kinda. Idk if being alive is considered ok
I hope so 😞
I barely have friends since the start of 9th grade and im the middle of 10th grade, over a year being lonely, it wont get better.

@@samirabouyachi4432 the beauty about time is its constant nothing ever stays the same ...time keeps moving ...so if today your not in a good place thats okay as that won't always be the case ...chin up you can do this
About 10 years ago my daughter and I were having lunch in a little cafe in Maine. She was probably 15 or 16 - we spotted an elderly man sitting alone and she could not take her eyes off of him because she felt he was lonely. She finally spoke to him and they had a sweet conversation back and forth for about 20 minutes. As we were leaving, he took her hand and said "You're a beautiful girl, inside and out....Mom, you should be proud". We will never forget it. That little gesture made both his day and my daughter's.
Aw that's so sweet!
@Roy Rangel Don't care
@Roy Rangel you didnt have to 😔
@Roy Rangel Didn't want your statement.
@Roy Rangel out
I'm an elderly woman, and I'd be quite annoyed if people tried to join me as I was eating! I very much enjoy eating out alone, and I cannot stand even the idea of having to manage learning about new people in a place I went to enjoy a meal!!!
This show really restores faith in humanity 😃😃
What if they did a wwyd where John eats in public and when he gets recognized he acts like a complete A hole, wwyd if the celebrity you see on TV wasn't who you thought they were
I love that idea
Hahahah
😂
That's actually a really good idea.
Yeah! And he's all drunk and shouting at people "what would you do you piece of crap!" and then he smashes a glass and pulls his pants down and grabs his junk: "what you gonna do bout THIS!". Mothers are covering their kids eyes and the police turn up while he's shouting "I'm John Quinones! I'm John Fucking Quinones!!" whilst police struggle to contain him
"Life is very short, very short. We think it's long but it's not."
That's deep
Excellent quote. Very true. When we're young, a month seems like a year. When you're older, a year seemed like a month.
@a7s17
It is because many are rushing and don’t take time to appreciate life.
The world has existed for thousands of years, and we’re alive on it for usually less than a hundred. Life is VERY short, but we just don’t notice it.
@@proctorritter5176 the world has existed for 4.5 billion years. Not just thousands.
Angeluv's comment is very shallow, very shallow. We think it's deep but it's not.
This story reminds me of a field trip, we were just at a McDonald’s and this lady was sitting there, don’t ask me how but me and my friends got in a ~30 minute long conversation with her about just everything. It still warms my heart to this day. If it’s your grandparents or not, talk with them. Elders are just pure joy
One time I was on the bus and struck up a conversation with an elderly gentlemen about baseball. Based on his facial expressions I think it was the first time in a long time he had someone to talk to about his favorite sport. He was so happy to talk about his favorite older players and was thrilled that I knew who most of them were. Sadly I had to get off the bus before he did, but to shake his hand and see him smile was a memory I'll never forget. It was the sweetest, most beautiful conversation I ever had with a stranger.
im literally SOBBING and he’s just an actor . old people should never EVER eat alone 😭😭😭
This is one of the only scenarios that makes me burst out in to tears. 😭
Some old people want to eat alone. Some younger ones as well. I need my peace and quiet.
Some young people eat alone for years. And others dont give a fuck actually
BALONEY!!!!!!! I'm an elderly woman, and I would be quite angry if someone wanted to join me in a restaurant just because I "look lonely"! I very much enjoy eating out alone, and I hate being interrupted by strangers at all.
I've lost both of my children, have no grandchildren, but have many very good friends, most of whom are younger enough than me to be my children, had they lived this long. Yet I live a good life, I drive myself everywhere, I have a sweet little apartment I like very much, and on very rare occasions, I go out to eat at my favorite little café near my home.
It would absolutely ruin my meal if someone felt I "needed" their company just because they saw an elderly woman sitting there alone.
People should never automatically assume that someone sitting alone is lonely, and nobody should have to answer the question "Would you like some company?" from a stranger! Not in this wacko society today, thank you!
@@jb6712 woah it aint that deep but cool

This is what I love about this show. It shows how anybody, even strangers, can be kind.
Being alone can be incredibly difficult, especially due to loss.
In my situation, I'd be very grateful if someone reached out to me like this.
I get this and try to help. But this world has become a place that approaching someone can be fearful unfortunately. Unless you know the story before hand
I'm not much younger than "Stu" in this video, and without going into detail, I know what you are saying.
Speaking for myself, I don't know how I would react if I were dining alone and someone came up to me trying to offer comeradery. I know I can be a grouch sometimes.
@andrewvelonis5940 i understand that. There are times I'm craving company, and times when I just need my own space. However, I'm likely to hole up at home when I feel that way! Like today. I'm in bed, in the dark, and it's 1.30pm!
I know he's acting, but the way he told that his friend passed away in the introduction really touched my heart
I know right, like god damn.

It really tears me up
Possibly based on a real friend the actor lost?
@@jabberwocky1707 most the time it is
I think he was tapping into real pain because that was REALLY believable!
My husband used to work in customer service and many times an older person would call with a small problem, but eventually they would admit that they were lonely and just wanted someone to talk to. It's sad to hear that people are so lonely that they'll call a customer service line to get some human interaction.
I literally burst into tears reading this comment, thats really sad :(
My husband and I always end up talking to the elders. We were both close with our grandparents, and miss them do much. Its as helpful to us as I hope it is to them.
It's sadly true though 😕, i used to work in customer service..i feel them😔 they just wanna talk..
I'm dealing with this a LOT at the age of 35... but I at least have family members around. When you're 70+, there's a good chance that at least half the people you knew as you aged will be dead. There was a 104yo regular at a restaurant I worked at as a cook... and she outlived her husband (both of them), her three sons, all her close family members, and all her friends. Totally alone and went for coffee just so she could talk to someone. So sad.
i used to work in CS. can confirm.
The last woman is so sweet and kind heart. She is very empathy and show her full understanding, even sit with Stu and give a very good advises. Really loves this lovely woman 🤗🤗🤗
Sadly so many elderly people go through this sort of thing alone and no one knows. A few minutes out of your day to just talk to a stranger in need, can change their world in more ways than you will know
Whenever I see an old person alone in a restaurant in general, I always wanna go sit with them because it makes me sad to see them all alone. But I don’t, because I don’t know them and I’m not sure how they’d respond to a kid wanting to sit with them
I'm older and a loner, so you'd likely see me reading a book and being quite content. That said, I'd think you'd be a kind person for considering my feelings in the first place, so I would respond by inviting you to sit at my table. Young people are cool to hang out with.
@@elizabetholiviaclarkyoung and old people are better
you should they probably would like it you to can get close it happened to me when I was homeless.
@@seudeashton3886 expecially with a corona virus older people would be weary
AFTER the C19 stuff goes away, maybe try it once or twice and see what happens. I’ve found that striking up conversations with random people usually leads to a lot of fun stories and fascinating insight. People live rather amazing lives out there and it’s fun to learn about.
That last lady, was like an Angel. She was so loving and caring...and her voice so soothing. You can tell from years of experience losing her loved ones she coped with it the best way she could and still be a so sweet, and kind.
Yes. Even those words are for Stu, it soothed and im just a viewer
Exactly!. She spoke words of wisdom. You don't get that kind of emotional intelligence until you're older. Bless her and every human like her.

Old people being alone or sad always makes me cry 😭😭
This is so sweet. I feel like babies/young children do this naturally reaching out to strangers who are by their selves but us adults have a lot of guards up. Ty for sharing this! It's inspiring!
That old man was probably one of the best actors on this show
YESSS. My boyfriend and I asked an old man dining alone to join us for dinner and it was THE BEST DATE I'VE EVER HAD. He told us all about his (many) kids and grandkids, his wife and his time in the war 🥺 He was a big sweetheart. I absolutely suggest that anyone do this once covid allows us to
That same thing happened with me and my girlfriend. She later left with the old man and told me to stick it.
@POINDEXTERPIG don't worry. Someday you'll be old and maybe steal some young punks girlfriend. 🤣
My wife and I have a handful of neighborhood style diners we hit a few times a month. The wait staff know our MO. So they clue us in on elderly couples that could use a pass on their tab. Or the single ones that could use some company. We sure as hell ain’t young ourselves but what a great feeling to befriend someone and/or pick up their tab. And yes, you learn a bit on the journey.
That’s so sweet of you
@@Kelle0284 Grandpa's still got his mojo! I know that my grandpa can seduce a woman 40 years younger than him
I work at a grocery store during the mornings, and we get a regular middle age to elderly customers come in. We bond so well and form friendships. Every now and then, we get news that a regular passed away. It puts all of us in a sadness because to us, they are family.
Ok I want to know how Juan Quiñones doesn't break down in tears every episode. I always come here and watch videos when I need a good cry and it lifts my spirits. Thank you for these videos.
Oh my God this breaks my heart! I once saw a elderly man having breakfast alone , but there was another plate in front of him and no one there. The waitress let us know his wife passed away 6 months ago and he still goes to the restaurant and orders her usual 🥺

Not to sound melodramatic but I discovered this show yesterday and it's literally changed my life. I have so much faith in humanity, not just from watching the show, but because of the kindness in the comments and the amount of likes each video gets. Amazing.
Good for you!! :)
did you end up binging its so hard not to such a great show :)
Because an overwhelming majority of people are NOT racist, sexist or bullies etc. But our present day society has a fetish of "Victimization" - driven by far left extremism where they wanna convince you that you have it hard if you're Black, or a woman or having a disorder etc.. Its not like that at all.

Yes, he is sn attractive old man.. And great actor too! Yes he is...
I lost my best friend in the world 2 years ago. It still hurts like it happened yesturday. Life is hard when you lose the people youve chosen to call family.
The last woman was really really sweet. Perfect grandma!
I met a woman who was alone too when I was at the restaurant she lost her husband in a car accident and only by staring at her, I knew she was not doing fine....So I did join her at the table and she was really sweet and kind....We started chatting like we knew each other for a long time....We still talk but I am glad she is fine now....She lives alone but she has made a lot of friends and I go and visit her quite often too...
I understand her pain too because I have lost my grandfather....And my grandfather was my friend...He was amazing and I really loved him so much...But after he was gone, I was simply lost in memories that i still have of him even today...
Life is very brief on this planet and if you see someone sad and upset then do your best to at least hear them out...Even if it's a stranger, so what? We all have to deal with issues in life...So just open your heart and let us share our sorrows with each other...it's the only way to overcome it...Kindness is always free! I don't mind lending somebody my shoulder to cry on...
That's very kind of you. I hope she's happy, and you too.

My grandpa lost his wife recently, my grandma. He's been feeling so alone without her next to him. I pray someone would do this for him. I'm so glad we have people like this in the world willing to brighten an elderly man's day.
It's heartwarming to see people that genuinely care about other people. How they took the time of day to give him advice, to talk with him, to invite him and not make feel alone.
Just because someone who is a senior citizen who may happen to be eating alone doesn't necessarily mean that they would like some company or random strangers approaching them. They may just want to be left alone to enjoy their meals without disruption. Lol
But this scenario was really sweet but sad. 😊😍😢
Yes, take it by Case by case scenario
Yep, I love eating alone. I think I'd be a senior citizen just enjoying my meal.
Best comment ever! Not only is it ageism, but does not take into account that many people are happy introverts, loving their own company to read, think, connect spiritually.
Although I appreciate well-meaning people, and would remain polite, inside I would be furious, and,maybe, not return to that restaurant.
didnt askk
@@poppyflower7873 In this scenario though you overhear the entire conversation and the man is saying he's lonely. I don't think anyone is suggesting to just barge in on any senior sitting alone. Say "Hello" and take it from there.
I was only 43 when my best friend of 31 years died. It gets a little "easier", but you never forget. I'm so glad to see this kindness.
Sorry for your loss
I used to move from school to school and i always used to get friends and i dont miss them at all even tho i left them its like friends arent life
@@space-sq4es moving away from a friend is different than losing them. also I would argue friendships are a big part of life. they are real connections
@@gee2541 I literally right now hope all of my family members die dude people on this earth are psychos like wtf who like “FRIENDS” friends are big part of ur life when u gay
@@gee2541 just saying having sex is hard tho women r small and sometimes men are huge they can hit yo vagina so badly
My mom did this when she saw an older woman sitting alone. Walked over and asked if she could sit down, even paid for her food. I love my mom
Last elderly woman said everything of the optimistic. I'm in my 30's and living my life complete opposite of everything she said. I'm in tears.
Whatever I do in life I do it alone.
You know what, this makes me think of an experience I had a couple years ago.
Back when the movie Shazam first came out, me and my friend went to go see it at the theater together. In the row in front of us, there was an old woman sitting all by herself. We didn't say anything to her at first, but before the movie started, she turned around and started talking to us. She told us about her son and said that he was currently living in a different state with her grandkids. Apparently he took them to see the movie recently, so she went to see it for herself because she wanted to have something to talk with them about. But no one lived with her at the moment so she had to go alone.
We ended up sitting with her for the whole movie and watched it together. She was so sweet
Aw that’s lovely !
😭
Such a cute story💗
This second woman is amazing! Not saying the others werent but for her to invite the guy to meet other people is sometimes really what a person needs. It can be very hard to go and and try new things. Especially at a older age. And because of that sometimes you need a women like her to ‘hold your hand’ and do it. Just amazing!!
We
I've got teary eyed for some of these episodes but this one was a full blown can barely see the screen type cries. So many wonderful people in this world willing to comfort this man out of empathy - seriously beautiful
This warms my heart. My grandmas friend who was like our grandpa growing up had no children or living family or friends aside from my grandmother, because his wife who he met when he was 8 and married at 17 died during labor with their first child at 20 - and he was too devastated by losing them both that he never remarried. Once she passed he had nobody but us who lived two states away. He would spend holidays at KFC when we couldn’t visit him. He spent every birthday that we couldn’t spend with him there, he just loved KFC.
For his last birthday before he suddenly passed, the team at KFC who cane to know him very well three him a surprise birthday party. They all got him gifts, his favorite cake, and gifts. They even got in contact with a few friends from the church he attended to come. (Small North Carolina town)
He cried happy tears telling us all about his party. He said he felt like a kid again. He passed three months later.
Thank you to all the kind people that love on the Elderly.
I am a German guy and WWYD showed me a lot about the Americans. Most of you people behave kind, heartwarming and very open if someone is in trouble or have problems. I think that is like the world should be. You are great!
I'm German too and i feel the same way. It often makes me wonder if people here would act similarly? Most times i guess they would not but maybe that's just because of what I experienced.
I was born on German soil, but moved here to America as a baby, but I will say this, don't listen to SJWs and Lefty lunatics. They're the ones that are destroying our America that they badly hate. Our once good President Donald Trump was going to get re-elected, but these lunatics threaten the Supreme Court everyone across America that they'll burn this country to the ground if he would have won again. Unfortunately that's how twisted, sick, and evil these people are and we don't want them here or anywhere else
@@lordasher2874 I know. A lot of people from different countries are saying America is great and I don't want them to come over here to be threatened by these racist lunatics and then hear foreign people say that America is a lie when there are still good people here in this country

"You only pass through life once, so make it good. So that when you go, you'll have left lovely memories for the people left behind" - The awesome purple shirt lady
I just love this program and seeing there are so many good people, when mostly we only hear about all the bad things that happen…
"We only pass through this world once " well said
People often only lost it when they are being asked "why step in?", getting in touch with the compassion you have inside, is very powerful
That's actually quite deep.
I literally have such a soft spot for the elderly 🥺😭😭
This is so sad and beautiful, I wish I could sit with him.
I’m watching this crying , it hit home so much I lost my best friend to cancer in 2020 and it truly is a painful feeling .
I’d immediately stand up after hearing that his friend passed away. And sit and eat with him. I may be much younger that him but age makes no difference in the relationships we make in our lives. Whether they are romantic or friendly relationships.
I would immediately tell you to clear off
@@robuk3723 why dude. Just because I felt bad for an older war vet that lost his best friend that was eating alone to show a little kindness. Wtf ???
@John Hicks what the hell does that have to freaking do with what I said. Being nice to an old war veteran who lost his best friend and is eating alone. Just bc I’d feel bad for him and wanna go sit and keep him company for a while it’s fucking weird to you ???
And what I meant by the romantic relationship I didn’t mean I’d want a romantic relationship with him. I meant that I have a girlfriend and she is 11 years older than me. That’s what I mean. Now I could see you thinking it was weird if my partner was like 20 or 30 years older than me. That’s a bit much. You must have just completely not even understood the fucking point I was trying to make. it was simply BE KIND TO PEOPLE
@@camillemoore7247 I agree with you. Be kind.
Not related to this episode but it made me remember when my grandmother passed a few months later I ran into this elderly lady that looked just like my grandmother I walked up to her and told her that my grandmother had just passed away and I asked if I could get a hug from her she said yes and she started to cry and told me “maybe I need that hug more then you my best friend’s funeral service was today,
What a lovely old lady.. i know you must have made wonderful memories together with your grandma & its hard to let go (i lost my granma too when i was a kid). But meeting people with a lovely heart like that, in this world, give us hope to keep on going. Imma give you a really big hug. I wish for your happiness
A God appointed moment.
I was upset one day and someone asked could they hug me and when I got home I realised they she had helped herself to my wallet😢
i passed by someone in the store who looked like my grandmother who had passed. she was looking for my grandmother's favorite ice cream, it was so cool.
@@OnlyMichaelJackson God works in mysterious ways and know exactly what we need and send it when we need it the most
I’m crying. Empathy is an amazing and powerful thing that connects us. With empathy, none of us strangers. A very moving episode.
This warms my heart! I’m grateful for this show because it shows me that no matter how messed up this world is, there are wonderful people around and I too would like to contribute to that even more than what I am currently doing
In most Asian countries, elder people/parents are one of our priorities.I'm from the Philippines,specifically.Some Western countries may criticize us for being too dependent on our families,but one thing we love about our way of life is our elders/old parents don't die alone and lonely.Daughters and sons make sure we provide financial and moral support for our elders as much as possible.We dont want them to die in a home for the aged centers.We want them at home with us and feeling home if their time comes.
Not all true , in China, Japan and south corea the elderly are left on their own and often forgotten.
@@christelpaul3851 We used to take care of our elderly - not anymore.
I know it is your culture, but referring to people as "our elders" is highly offensive to independent-thinking, free spirits like myself..... very demeaning. I worked in a hospital setting, here in USA, and witnessed nurses calling patients "mama"......yuk!
It is fine to offer help to family members, when they become dependent on assistance, but not because they are "old". This is Ageism at its worst. Treat people as individuals and equals.
@@christelpaul3851 very true! I saw this 89 year old man who is all alone in China after his wife passed. His children never care for him or visit him. Very sad.
it’s kind, but I hope you don’t support Duterte.

im 26 and idk if maybe its just me, but im literally balling my eyes out at the amazing advice that this man is getting! thats truly amazing and i could only pray that maybe randomly i could as well as other's recieve the same. these times are so hard and i pray everyone makes it out okay!
It's funny. I am now a senior. I have no immediate family left. Serious mobility issues. I was more outgoing than now. People seem to have gotten so nasty recently. I am now hesitant with people I don't know. I have hired a couple to sometimes help with things around the house from a move. I moved a year ago and still have boxes I haven't unpacked. They are young, from South America. They are so sweet. They seem to have become fond of me. I even look at them with suspicion!

The lady who had the dog almost made me cry. Said something that you'd hear in the movies. So beautiful
She made me cry also
Even if the dog bit me really hard, I still wouldn't cry. Pathetic mortal.
@@kelle0285Alright Dark Sasuke want a medal ? 😂
That last woman’s words stuck with me to the point where I came back here to hear them again from her. Shes an angel.
I'm crying 😢 There are some very caring people out there. Always be kind.

This is the first time I cried watching this show. My dad passed away a year ago, and I remember people who sat with me. Not talking, just sitting. Dang, that meant everything.
Sending you a hug bear
I’m sorry for your loss
I cried when I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That was too much for me.
I read the comments before watching and told myself I wasn't gonna cry yet here I am in tears lol
His kind gesture... She sat with him but still nice.
