In August 2015, a Texas woman’s social media post gained widespread attention.

Brooke Ochoa, from Louise, Texas, shared a touching experience on Facebook. After holding the door open for another woman at a restaurant, Brooke invited her to join her for lunch.

The two women, both dining alone, ended up spending time together and learning about each other’s lives. Brooke discovered that her new acquaintance was going through a tough period, having recently lost her mother and seeing her aunt move into a nursing home.

Their lunch meeting became a regular event, with the two deciding to meet every Thursday. Brooke’s heartfelt post about this new friendship attracted over 1.7 million likes, 225,000 shares, and more than 100,000 comments.
