Older Man Made Me Cry In A Restaurant
By A Friend • August 12, 2025
I was at a restaurant with my 3 year old son, just the two of us. An older gentleman at a table nearby finishes his meal, walks over and says “I’ve been listening to you with your son and just want you to know you’re a great dad.”
I didn’t have much of a father figure growing up, and I wish I could have expressed to him how much this compliment meant to me. It felt like a dad saying “I’m proud of you” even though he was a stranger. I teared up after he left and still do thinking back on it.
Thank you stranger who took the time to share kind words.
