Act of kindness towards elderly widow goes viral
A group of young men are being praised for their act of compassion toward an elderly woman dining alone at an Alabama restaurant.
‘Everyone has a story so do not judge!’ — Jamario Howard
Jamario Howardand his friends, JaMychol Baker and Tae Knight went out for a bite to eat at Brad’s Bar-B-Que in Oxford, Alabama, on the night of April 18 when they spotted an elderly woman sitting by herself.
“My exact thoughts were ‘dang I’d hate to have to eat alone,”’ Howard wrote on Facebook.“So after thinking about it a minute, I walked over to her and asked if I could sit with her.”
The woman, identified by station FOX 46 as ‘Eleanor’, happily obliged and the two began talking.
After a while, Howard said Eleanor revealed to him that she’d lost her husband and Friday would have marked their 60th wedding anniversary.
The young man said he instantly gave his condolences and invited the woman to come eat with him and his friends.
“This woman changed my outlook on life and how I look at other people,” Howard wrote. “Everyone has a story so do not judge!”
Together, the newfound friends shared a meal and exchanged stories. Howard’s parting words of advice were to “always be kind and be nice” to people, because you don’t know what they’re going through.
“GO SEE YOUR MOM AND YOUR GRANDPARENTS. They miss you!!” he added.
The men’s simple act of kindness melted hearts across social media.

How to be Kind (With Pictures)
Being kind is an important way of bringing meaning to our own lives. It also brings joy to the lives of others around us. Being kind allows us to communicate better, be more compassionate, and also to be a positive force in people's lives. Kindness has its true source deep within you, and while some people are innately kind, it's something that everyone can cultivate by choice.
