It touched my heart

I read the first sentence and thought this was a spongebob joke

"Why did she type the entire thing in Quotes? Apparently she is quoting herself?"

Imagine the conversation of cancelling her meetings. "Yeah, I know we planned this three weeks ago, but I met an old man who wants to have coffee with me, so I can't make it. Sorry."

Very touching story. Something to think about! How often do we stop for a moment and reach out to someone. It can be a life changing experience. I'm glad you took the time and getting to know an elderly and sow some seeds of kindness, which is rare these days.
