Give thanks

I was in the grocery store the day before thanksgiving picking out something to eat (couldn't get airline tickets to go home and see my family) when I saw an old man buying some frozen dinners. It was obvious he didn't have anyone to spend the holiday with so I went over and asked him if he wanted to come over to my apartment and spend thanksgiving with me since I didn't have anyone to spend it with either.

We ended up putting all the frozen food back and buying a turkey and everything needed to have a great meal. During dinner he said his wife had died some years before and his children never called or visited him. This made me feel so sad I asked for his address so I could bring something over for Christmas. Yesterday I went over to bring a small gift I bought him but nobody answered the door.

"I went to his neighbors house to see if they could give it to him when he returned but they told me he had died a few days earlier.
