Act of kindness brightened Thanksgiving

With a wife in a nursing home I found myself with no place to go on Thanksgiving evening after visiting her. I was looking for people and a place to have dinner, but almost all the restaurants were closed. However, I found the Retro Bistro in Mount Prospect open, so I went in. It was 6 p.m., and they said, sorry, we stopped serving at 5.

As I walked to my car, a server came after me and ask me to come back to the restaurant, as they had something for me. They gave me a complete turkey dinner to take home and refused to let me pay for it.

What a great act of kindness. They put "thanks" into what would have been a "thankless" Thanksgiving for me.
