Refills, Smiles, And A Blessed Day

--by TXWildflower, posted Jan 5, 2013

Yesterday my husband and I stopped into a Whataburger for lunch. As we were sitting waiting for our order to come I noticed an older man in a wheelchair roll himself over to a table.

He was all by himself and he sat there a few minutes, looking around, smiling all the time. No one seemed to notice him but me. I got up and went over to his table and asked if I could get him something to drink.

He smiled and said, "Oh yes! And thank you so kindly. I'd like some rootbeer please."

When I brought his rootbeer I told him my name and said if he needed anything else to just wave and let me know.

We were in the Whataburger a good 30-40 minutes. The man just kept smiling at everyone and looking around the restaurant as he quietly ate his burger and fries.

As we were getting ready to leave, I wanted to refill our drinks and, as I walked by the man's table, I asked if he would like a refill before we left.

Again, with a big smile, he said, "Yes, please!"

When I brought it back to him, he told me that he just loved root beer and the hamburgers there. I told him I did too. He told me I had made his day coming over, talking to him, and helping him out. I gave him a hug and told him he had made my day too! As I was turning to leave he told me to have a blessed day. I smiled and said I would and for him to have one too.

I hope he made his way back home safely.
