A fellow shopper, Lisa, saw his note. Realizing that it was not a joke, she decided to do something about it. Lisa took a photo of the note and posted it on social media. She hoped that more people in the area would see it and hopefully this lonely widower's holiday wish would come true. In her post with the photo of the widower's note, Lisa wrote:"When I read this, it broke my heart right away."
Finding Love For The Holidays
She was quickly encouraged by commenters to share the post in various community groups on Facebook. Within a short period of time there were over 6,500 shares! Quickly the offers came pouring in. All from perfect strangers wanting the man to spend the holidays with them and not be alone!“I never thought there would be so many [responses]. After a certain point, I couldn’t keep up with it,” Lisa told Stuttgarter NachrichtenThere were so many offers, the sweet widower was a bit overwhelmed. Lisa updated her post frequently. She shared that with each offer she received, she shared with the man. Her last comment explained that he was still deciding which of the many generous offers to consider - but that there were still many days before Christmas and the offers continued to roll in! We hope he finds a lovely family to join in the holidays with and that they make a valuable long-term friendship! h/t: Stuttgarter Nachrichten YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Family Invites Stranger Over For Dinner Because Of A Lost Dog
