Lonely Guy Shares Turkey with Barefoot Kid, One Year Later They Celebrate Thanksgiving Together as Family

Michael⁢ and⁢ his coworkers⁢ sometimes chat about their​ Thanksgiving plans the day before the⁤ holiday. Some of them would head back to their hometowns. Others⁣ were going to spend the holidays by ⁢the lake, while some planned to celebrate in fancy hotels with their partners.

On the other hand, Michael‌ was not really⁤ into celebrating holidays because he didn’t have a family⁣ or a girlfriend to share it with.

That Thanksgiving, he was meant to celebrate with another single friend. But ​at ⁢the last minute, his friend said he had⁢ met someone⁤ special and they decided ⁣to spend it⁤ together.

The next Thanksgiving day, Michael looked at all the food he had bought for dinner and thought it was⁣ way too much‍ for‌ just him. ⁤So, he‌ made a plan to cook⁤ a festive meal and ⁤invite people ​from a nearby ​homeless shelter that he always passed on his way home from work.

Michael kept‍ busy all afternoon cooking‍ some of his favorite⁤ Thanksgiving⁣ dishes. “I should’ve ⁣done this ages ago,” he thought as he packed up all the food ‌into ⁣foil containers for ⁣the shelter.

After⁢ cooking, he ⁣walked over to the shelter where ⁣everyone gathered‌ around for a⁤ warm meal.

“Wow!” one boy from there shouted.⁢ “I’ve never ⁣tasted this kind of food before! It’s so yummy!”

“Don’t ⁢worry; I’ll keep bringing ⁢you meals during holidays,” Michael promised them. “Go⁣ ahead‌ and eat,” he told those who were there.

Michael⁤ decided to put some⁤ turkey on a plate along with other foods and walked⁤ over to cheer up⁤ one boy. “Here’s your‍ meal, young man,” he said as he handed him the plate.

The boy looked up at ​him then‍ started ​crying. He hesitantly took ‌the plate and‌ said thank‍ you.‍ “My mom used ⁣to make this food for ‍me but now‍ she’s too busy,” he ⁣shared.

“Where is your mom?” Michael ⁢asked​ him gently.

“She works all ‌day trying hard ⁢so we can get a nice home. She picks me up⁤ late at night then ⁢brings me back here in morning,” replied quietly​ by⁢ boy who ⁤seemed sadder than ever before.Michael felt connected with that child right away.

He⁢ waited until that ⁣boy’s mom came back‍ then offered her‌ an awesome job that let her work less ⁤hours.

“Would ​you really‌ do that?” she asked when offered​ position ‌as Michael’s assistant.

“Yes! I need⁢ someone hardworking like you,” Michael explained.”Your son⁣ Damon told ‍me how hard you‌ work​ every day.”

Lindy couldn’t help but cry ⁤tears ‍of ​joy‍ thanking ​him many times over before starting her new ⁣job after⁢ Thanksgiving holiday ended!

A year⁤ later, Michael sat at home enjoying ‌dinner with Damon &​ Lindy together!‍ He ​no longer⁢ spent holidays alone nor ate ⁤meals by himself again since Lindy became ⁢his wife!
