Every morning, I quietly fed a lonely boy who came to my café, always at 7:15. He was about ten, small for his age, and ordered only a glass of water. On the fifteenth day, I placed a plate of pancakes before him, pretending it was a mistake. He smiled shyly and said, “Thank you.” From that morning on, I made sure he never ate alone.
He never shared much—just ate in silence and always said thank you. Then one day, he didn’t come. Instead, black SUVs stopped outside the café. Soldiers entered, solemn and silent, and handed me a folded letter.
The boy’s name was Adam. His father, a soldier, had died in service. Before his death, he wrote: “Thank the woman from the café who fed my son. She gave him kindness the world had forgotten.”
Weeks later, another letter arrived—with a photo. Adam was smiling beside his new guardian, his father’s friend. The note read: “He remembers you.”
