Woman's Hilarious Reaction to Free Cake on Her Birthday Is Everything
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make the days worth seeing through. Sure there’s a time for sweeping gestures, incredible generosity, and epic adventures.
But at the end of the day, what most people want is to be noticed and loved. For different people that means different things, but when you really know your friends and family you know exactly what things you can do to bring a smile to their faces.
For some people, that’s by bringing them flowers. For others, it’s picking up a favorite treat or taking time to do some extra chores.
That goes for being kind to ourselves, too: Is there much better in this world than being curled up with a good book and a hot cup of tea? Or falling asleep with a cat tucked up against you?
The good things in life don’t have to cost much, but they’re still priceless.
One little old lady got a similar surprise for her birthday. There’s not much we know about her other than what we can observe in the short video, but even that’s enough to pick up on the contagious happiness she exudes.
Dressed in pink gingham, the woman clasps her hands together and looks up with pure joy as another woman brings her a small dessert and carefully shields the lit candle perched on top of it.
It looks as though the guest is sitting with a gentleman who might be her husband at a restaurant that the two frequent. There’s clearly a bond there, as one server brings the sweets and the other brings a gift bag.
The birthday girl can barely contain herself — but she doesn’t reach for the food or the present, because she knows where the real gift lies: in the kindness of a caring soul.
She reaches up to hug the server, and gingerly pats away a tear as she continues to be overwhelmed by the scene before her.
Redditors have found the charming display especially heartwarming. “I love how her dining partner is wearing a matching pink gingham shirt,” wrote lime3654. “So sweet!”
“Okay does anyone know where I can get a sweater like hers?” queried another user. “I’m a young adult but I want to live the adorable gramma aesthetic.”
If only all of us could be so enamored with the simple things (and in bringing joy to others through giving simply), we’d probably be a lot better off.
