Thanksgiving Story: Share The Table

A photograph of two strangers sharing a meal at an Indiana area fast food restaurant has hearts melting across the Internet.

While having lunch with coworkers at a McDonald’s in Noblesville on November 8, Amanda Craft noticed an elderly woman eating alone after ordering her food. But she wouldn’t be lonely for long.

Craft watched as the woman walked over to a young man who was also eating by himself, and asked if she could join him. The man — who Craft would later discover was 28-year-old Eric Haralson — immediately agreed.

Craft discreetly snapped a picture of the pair sharing a conversation and posted it to Facebook.

“Shout out to this guy! This elderly lady (seemed to be a little lonely) came up to him and asked if she could sit with him,” Craft wrote in the post. “Without hesitation, this guy said ‘of course.’ My friends and I watched him introduce himself and shake her hand. They talked and laughed together like they were friends.”
