When Amy Wadford took her children out to eat at Fernandos Mexican restaurant in Magee, Mississippi, her son Brekken wouldn’t stop crying because he wanted to eat with a man sitting by himself at a table.
As Amy was getting ready to take Brekken to their car so his crying wouldn’t bother the people around them, something beautiful happened.
“I’m not sure who this man is,” Amy wrote in a post online, “and I’m sure he just wanted to eat his meal in peace, but Brekken had other plans. We took all six kids to eat at Fernando’s and all Brekken wanted was to eat with him.”
All Brekken wanted to do was sit with the man by the window, but when his mom said no as the man looked like he was enjoying his meal in peace, Brekken’s young and pure heart was upset, and he began to cry.
“He was continuously crying and as I got up to take him to the car, this man asked to get him.”
The kind man overheard Brekken asking his mom to sit with him, and as he saw her taking him outside to calm down, he invited little Brekken over.
“Brekken instantly stopped crying and sat and ate chips and salsa and had conversation with him until he was ready to go.”
When they had finished their conversation and meal, Brekken told him “bye” as if they had become the best of friends.
“Brekken was completely content and told him bye like he had known him his whole life. It’s the small things! So, if you know him, please tell him again I said thank you. He didn’t have to do what he did but completely made Brekken’s whole day ❤️”
The kindness of the man, Darius West, has been appreciated and praised by thousands of hearts online.
