      @@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

      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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!🕊🙏🏼🕊

    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!

      You know… some people really did not have a choice. My grandfather only missed enlisting to the war in his early teens because of a trick. He was hidden by my great grandfather. “The last wave”, was when they enlisted child boys as young as 13. Not everything is black and white.

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.

      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!

    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

    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.

    The morning he passed away, he asked me to go home and, "Get those power of attorney papers." Which I thought was odd since my name was already on everything. I said I would anyway. At the elevator his Doctor was coming out and I said, "See you in a few!" To which he mumbled, "I doubt it."
    I later learned that my Father died the moment I left his room.
    I was angry for 14-15 years. Until I realized that my Father was actually giving me a gift. After 4 years of hell, he did not want me to see that last breath. 2 days before his 53rd birthday.

    This is life changing!!! Just today, I heard about Hate criticism on asians and I feel bad about them and racism is the virus. While watching, I found this channel and I'm in tears knowing that humanity still exist. There are still good people who will stand with you and uplift you.
    Thank you for inspiring me today!

    I can remember seeing an old woman sitting by herself at Denny’s when I was very young. She smiled at me when I looked at her and I smiled back. When she left, she waved and told our family to have a nice day. I was sad because she was alone and I had my family.

      That's very noble of you. When I was a kid all I cared about was my toys and whether I was going to get soda pop with my meal.

    The lady at 5:00 said some really comforting words, lost someone due to covid recently, and being isolated didn't help. Cried long and hard when I heard what the purple lady said

    This was emotional for me. I would be more than happy to accompany an elderly man who was sitting alone. I loved elderly people and since both my grandpas died before I got to see them or meet them, it really makes me feel pretty awful.

    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.
