  • They say you lose track of time when you’re having fun, and the more fun these two seem to have as the years add up.

    I’m blown away by how brave each of them needed to be to even get this tradition started. Wanda invited an absolute stranger into her home, and Jamal actually WENT to have dinner in a stranger’s home with a bunch of OTHER strangers… I would not have the guts to do either thing, I think.

    This world would be a lot better place if everyone would start to treat everyone the same way Wanda & Jamal treat each other. It's better to looking at the heart than the skin. That is true Love, Concern, Friendship & Family.❣️

    @jimbridges8306 Před rokem +8

    It truly is a neat story. I think mainly because of the randomness of how it started and the difference in age. You don't find many teenagers that would continue to follow through on those kinds of friendships and traditions..

    I promoted and moved to West Texas. I initially lived my trooper and his family. The number of people who invited me for holiday or family gatherings was amazing. I was made an honorary family member by a great Tia who didn’t speak English but we communicated with hugs and cheek kisses. I love this

    Makes me think of my best friend. She's 60 and I'm 24 we met when I was 19. I even got to travel with her to the country where she grew up (Jordan). Be open minded and treat people like people! You don't suddenly become a boring person when you hit 30, let alone 60! Older people are just like us with more life experiences. You can learn a lot from people who are different than you.

    I mean we all have eyes and clearly see they have some differences lady! This story is about people who were strangers who put their differences to the side and opened up their lives and hearts to one another. They may not be family by bloodline but they are certainly family.

    This warms my heart!!! Sometimes the smartest people in the world can't figure out there are good people in every race! No one race acts one way. We all have bad experiences with A PERSON in a race, but it's not the race.....it's the person. The world could be so much better if we figure out the simplest of things in life!
