The Sweet Way This Widower Keeps Dining Out With His Late Wife by Mettal: 10:53pm On Oct 30, 2014
Get prepared to break out the tissues.

I experienced painful death of my sister,i know exactly how this man feels,. nothing like the memories,
cherish them!!!

The man was sitting alone at a booth, walker by his side, pleasantly enjoying a burger with a laminated photo propped up on the table with him. The photo was of his late wife, who despite passing away five years ago, still remains the love of his life.

“With everyone who approached he was happy and excited to talk about her,” Bashizaduah explained. “We found out that she was his sweetheart, his wife who passed away five years ago.”

The two love birds apparently met when the elderly man was only 17 years old, “but the war had kept them apart.”

“He had searched for her for 10 years and one day as he was telling his barber the story, and the barber calls his daughter in and it ends up being her,” Bashizaduah added of the gentleman’s touching story. “They were married instantly and it lasted for 55 years until she passed. He takes her photo everywhere.”

On one side of the laminated photo is a picture of the adorable couple sitting on a couch together, Bashizaduah recalled, and on the other side was a picture of them side-by-side when they were young.

She was so overwhelmed with the man’s kind gesture -- still eating with his wife after all these years -- that she tweeted a photo to capture the emotional moment.

The poignant photo immediately went viral with nearly 13,000 favorites and more than 8,000 retweets.
