Today at Walmart I met a guy who was trying to pay for a dozen roses when the cashier yelled out your card is declined! After that, he tried to pay in cash but was 7 dollars short.

People on other lines were just staring at the guy! He was all red he started tearing up! I only had enough cash to buy my things but I told him to wait here, I’ll see what I have in my car. I found a ten ran back inside and gave him the cash. He said thank you nearly 100 times and gave me a hug.

He told me today was his 75th anniversary. While walking out I was joking and asked you must be 100 years old. He said close 95.

He told me, son try and die at the same time your true love does because its the worst feeling being alone.

He told me his wife passed about 23 years ago from cancer and he was headed to her grave for their anniversary. I walked him to his car. He said thank you some more and on my way to my car I broke down crying.

The way the cashier treated him, I’m glad I was there to help him out. And I’ll never forget what he told me.
