Elderly lady eating lunch alone is approached by a young woman — now they eat together once a week

older and younger womanBrooke Oacha of Texas is an example of how we all want our daughters to turn out. This young lady saw an elderly woman come into a restaurant and ask for a table for one. Wondering if she might be lonely, Oacha approached her, telling her she was also eating by herself, and suggested they eat together.

Good News Network reports,

As it turned out, Delores was pretty lonely—she has just lost her own mother and was having a hard time living alone.

On Thursday, though, it was all smiles, and now, the women have a standing lunch date to eat together every week.

Sometimes we get so carried away in the hustle and bustle of life we don’t stop for the truly important things. Look around you, look up from your smartphone. There is a whole world out there of people looking for real friendships. Oacha wrote on her Facebook page, “We had a wonderful talk, and she just kept smiling and saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too! Her words healed my heart just as much as I healed her lonely one. By far the best decision I’ve made all year!!! Her name is Delores, and we will be having lunch every Thursday from now on.”
