We waited for 45 minutes for a table tonight at Olive Garden. When we were called, we noticed an older woman standing and waiting by herself. She would be waiting 30+ minutes just for a table for one. Mom and I decided to ask this woman to eat dinner with us. We took a chance. As we talked, I felt a connection. Like some sort of fate. Turns out, this 75-year-old sweet woman, had never been married and never had kids. I am constantly depressed and paranoid at the thought of being alone forever, and God sent this person into my life tonight to show me that being alone is okay. We had a great time and shared tons of laughs, despite having spent just one hour together. It feels wonderful knowing we made her happy tonight by offering our company. (And paying for her meal) š”
