It all started when Texas woman Brook Ochoa held open a door at a restaurant. By the time she was done, she made a new friend and now had a regular date.
Ochoa said she met a woman, Delores, after they ended up at the same restaurant. She held the door open for her.
“So I waited and hesitated but then I walked over and said, ‘I’m eating by myself too would you like to have lunch together?’ She was ecstatic!” she wrote.
Ochoa said that when they began talking, Delores told her about the loss of her mother and added that her aunt moved into a nursing home.
She continued: “She just kept smiling and saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too!”
While she didn‘t elaborate on what they had spoken about, “Her words healed my heart just as much as I healed her lonely one,” Ochoa said.
She said, “By far the best decision I’ve made all year!!!”
Later, Ochoa said that Derloes later passed away soon after she made the viral Facebook post.
“I am delighted that it still touches so many lives in such a positive way. Thank you all for your support and your kind comments!” she remarked.
In the Facebook post, commenters told Ochoa that they appreciated her sharing many after it went viral. The latest one was on June 11.
“Your active kindness was such a good thing God bless you,” wrote one person. “Awwwww so sweet God will bless you and your family. Stay sweet Continue helping people.Have a Nice day. May her R.I.P.,” added another.
Said another person, “This is such a beautiful story! You must have really made Delores’s life towards the end so awesome and not so lonely.”
Added another, “Sad bless you for having such a good heart and bringing some sunshine into both your lives.. RIP Dolores.”
