Occasionally in life we happen upon quiet moments that seem ordinary at first glance, but a second look reveals something genuinely moving and extraordinary is unfolding
If we are lucky we take the time for that second look and we make the time to really appreciate it.
Early Friday morning a photo capturing just such a moment was posted on reddit and quickly climbed to the top spot garnering hundreds of comments in just a few hours.
This is that photo:
The caption written by the person who posted the photo simply reads ‘old man eating by himself at In N Out with a picture of his wife.’
While the photo itself tells an incredible story, it turns out this man may have visited this restaurant before to dine with his wife.
Nearly a week ago someone else posted a photo of seemingly the same man, sitting at the same table with a photo of the same woman.
But this photographer wrote about stopping to talk with the man about the woman in the photo, who was indeed his wife.
The photographer also shared several direct quotes from the unidentified man.
