Miss Helen, a long-time regular at our café, was sitting by herself at a table set up for her 72nd birthday, with no one showing up to join her.

Laughed with her, reminded her she was loved. Then the café owner walked in. We held our breath, expecting backlash.Instead, he pulled up a chair and joined us. Later, he called a staff meeting—not to scold us, but to thank us.

And we always make sure she never sits alone again.
