This old man celebrates his birthday party alone, and this is happens to him...

News24xx.com - As a child, it is our duty to make our parents feel happy. Especially, when they're getting old. Busyness and many activities should not be our obstacle to meeting our parents.

But a sad story has happened to this old man. On his 61st birthday, he reserved one big table at a restaurant, set up the decorations, and waited for his family to come. Hours passed and he was sitting alone. His phone rang, and he gave out a sigh.

People immediately knew by the look in his face that no one was coming. Then, with sad voice, the old man suddenly spoke out loud and said, “Today is my birthday, I turn 61 years old, I set the tables and I brought cake because I want to meet my family here to celebrate my birthday, I was waiting for my children to come, my grandchildren and my wife, but as you can see, nobody came.”

He then asked everybody in the restaurant to make his feel happy, and celebrate with him instead.

In a heart-warming gesture, people began eating and talking with him—as if they were long-time friends.

Strangers gave him hugs and words of comfort, as he smiled happily.

He may not have spent such a special day with his family, but he spent it with strangers who treat him like he was.

Facebook user Patty Rodriguez was among those who celebrated with him, and was able to witness such a kind-hearted gesture from strangers.
