<\/p>\nA street-barefoot child was given a Thanksgiving turkey by a lonely father who spends every holiday alone. <\/p>\n
The following year, the family got together to observe Thanksgiving and all other holidays.
\nThe day before Thanksgiving, <\/p>\n
Michael listened to his coworkers discuss their plans. A few of them were en route home. While some intended to spend <\/p>\n
their vacations by the lake, others envisioned themselves relaxing with their wives in opulent hotels.<\/p>\n
Because he didn’t have a family of his own or a fianc\u00e9e to spend time with, Michael was never the kind to lavishly celebrate the holidays.<\/p>\n
He would treat himself to a good supper at a nice restaurant or a solo trip to Vegas to let free and relax if he believed anything was worth celebrating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When he found out he had met a female, they agreed to spend the holidays together. He had originally planned to spend Thanksgiving with his other single friend.<\/p>\n
On Thanksgiving, Michael realized the amount of food he had bought for dinner was simply too much for him to eat by himself. <\/p>\n
Then it dawned on him to cook a celebratory meal and give the leftovers to a nearby homeless shelter he frequently passed on his way home from work.<\/p>\n
Making some of his favorite Thanksgiving meals took up the entire afternoon for Michael. Along with other meals, he prepared a turkey, apple pie, beef and mushroom casserole, and more. <\/p>\n
He put all of the food into aluminum tins to deliver to the shelter, thinking to himself, \u2018I should have done this years ago!\u2019<\/p>\n
After finishing, he went to the shelter and invited everyone to a nice supper at the table. One of the boys at the shelter exclaimed, \u2018Wow!\u2019 He said, \u2018I’ve never had this kind of food before.\u2019<\/p>\n
Don’t worry, Michael assured her, \u2018I’ll keep bringing you meals over the holidays.\u2019 He told the gathering, \u2018Go ahead and eat.\u2019<\/p>\n
Michael was about to help himself to some food when he noticed a lonely, barefooted child sitting in the far corner of the room.<\/p>\n
Michael decided to cheer up the youngster by putting some turkey on a platter with other appetizers. He handed the young man the plate and said, \u2018Have a meal, young man.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The young boy cast a tear-filled glance in his direction. He thanked her and reluctantly took the platter. <\/p>\n
He said, \u2018My mother used to make this food for me, but she’s now too busy to do so.\u2019
\nWhere’s your mother? Michael asked.<\/p>\n
She spends the entire day working to save money for a respectable home purchase. The small boy said softly, <\/p>\n
\u2018She picks me up late at night and drops me off here in the morning.\u2019 As soon as he said that, Michael instantly identified himself in the young man.<\/p>\n
When Michael was younger, his mother would also leave him with family while she went to work. She never showed up, <\/p>\n
and once his aunt and uncle passed away, he was left without a family to spend the holidays with.<\/p>\n
Michael promised to help the child since he did not want to experience the same situation. He offered the <\/p>\n
boy’s mother a high-paying position with fewer hours after waiting for her to get back to the shelter.<\/p>\n
After being hired as Michael’s assistant, the woman questioned whether she \u2018would really do that for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018Of course. I require a committed secretary, Michael declared. Your son Damon claimed you put in a full day’s work. That alone shows how committed you are.<\/p>\n
Michael’s mother, Lindy, broke down in tears. After the Thanksgiving break, she thanked Michael for his help and started working for him.<\/p>\n
One year later, Damon, Lindy, and Michael are seated at his dining room table at home. Once he and Lindy fell in <\/p>\n
love and got married, he no longer had to spend the holidays alone and he never had to eat by himself again.<\/p>\n
