Today, Brandon and I were eating dinner at a fast food restaurant. We were just chatting and enjoying our food when an older woman leaned over our table. She looked to Brandon and said,"I just had to come over and tell you you look just like my son," pause,"that passed away. You have the same build and walk the same. If I could just... hug you... or hold your hand..." I've never seen such a look of desperation and pleading.
At this point I was fighting back tears and so was she. Neither Brandon nor I knew what to say. She gave him a hug and asked his name. When he told her, tears spilled silently down her cheeks, and she thanked him and walked away. Her husband was crying too.
You never know who needs you.
