A heartwarming photo recently surfaced online of an elderly man eating all by himself at In-N-Out Burger. What’s unusual about him is that he had an old faded photo of him and his wife, who had passed away years ago, propped up on the table. It’s not the first time he has been spotted doing this. (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/2k6hy8/old_man_eating_by_himself_at_in_n_out_with_a/)  Here’s what the person that took the photo says: “I saw this elderly gentleman dining by himself, with an old picture of a lady in front of him. I thought maybe I could brighten his day by talking to him. As I had assumed, she was his wife. But I didn’t expect such an interesting story. They met when they were both 17. They dated briefly, then lost contact when he went to war and her family moved. But he said he thought about her the entire war. After his return, he decided to look for her. He searched for her for 10 years and never dated anyone. People told him he was crazy, to which he replied ‘I am. Crazy in love’. On a trip to California, he went to a barber shop. He told the barber how he had been searching for a girl for ten years. The barber went to his phone and called his daughter in. It was her! She had also been searching for him and never dated either. He proposed immediately and they were married for 55 years before her death 5 years ago. He still celebrates her birthday and their anniversary. He takes her picture with him everywhere and kisses her goodnight. Some inspiring things he said; ‘I was a very rich man. Not with money, but with love.’ ‘I never had a single argument with my wife, but we had lots of debates.’ ‘People are like candles. At any moment a breeze can blow it out, so enjoy the light while you have it.’ ‘Tell your wife that you love her everyday. And be sure to ask her, have I told you that I love you lately?'” Be sure to talk to the elderly. Especially strangers. You may think that you will brighten their day, but you may be surprised that they can actually brighten yours.

Recently? This thing has been around for a long time. In fact it's been so long that it wouldn't surprise me if the guy has long been dead himself.

That's pretty elaborate to hire this dude to go sit at a restaurant with different pictures of the same woman so the poster could get a photo, and then make up a story.

He brutally murdered her decades ago, and part of his parole is that he must carry a picture of her with him everywhere to remind him of the heinous crime he committed.
