Jamario Howard was eating a meal with his friends in a restaurant in Alabama, USA when he noticed an elderly woman sitting on her own at a table. Jamario says, "I don't ever want to eat alone, so I decided to talk to her."
Jamario approached the woman, he says she had a look on her face as he approached. He introduced himself and they started chatting. The woman's name was Eleanor Baker; she told Jamario she had lost her husband and the next day would have been their 60th wedding anniversary. Jamario invited
Eleanor to join his friends on their table.
Jamario says, "She was excited to sit with us and came over straight away. We all felt really comfortable and asked her a bunch of questions."
Jamario posted this photo on twitter and said, "The point is, always be kind and nice to people. You never know what they are going through. This woman changed my outlook on life and how I look at other people. Everyone has a story so do not judge. GO SEE YOUR MUM AND GRANDPARENTS They miss you!"
