When a Homeless Man Starts Sobbing in Burger King, He Never Expected a Stranger to Put a Photo of Him on Facebook.
Summary:
Katy Hurst was just trying to get lunch from a Burger King in Missouri. Suddenly, something caught her eye. She saw an elderly man in the window with his head on his hands. It took a moment for her to realize that he was crying.
Introduction:
While she normally tried to pack a healthy lunch, she had overslept that morning. Starving, Katy Hurst decided to go to Burger King for lunch. As she was going through the drive through, she noticed an elderly man in the window. He was sobbing with his head on his hands.
Around her, the other customers were deliberately ignoring the man. They grabbed their food and left without paying attention to him. Katy could have left like everyone else, but she decided to see what was wrong. …show more content…
Sitting down at the table, she waited for him to dry his eyes and then started talking to him. The elderly man told Katy that he was called, “Pops.” He was incredibly lonely because all of his family and friends were gone. While Pops was only 57 years old, his body was starting to break down. He had several broken bones, but he could not afford to go to the doctor. Each day was spent in constant pain.
Pops had started crying again. In tears, he told Katy that he just wanted his life to end. Katy put her hand on his and told him, “Today is not your day.” Pops sniffed and dabbed at his eyes with his dirty sleeve. He tried to smile through the tears. Apparently, he had been praying for an angel right before Katy came inside to sit down.
