Jamal went viral in 2016 when he shared an adorable exchange he had with Wanda when she texted him thinking she was reaching out to her grandchild. Wanda wanted to invite her grandson to Thanksgiving dinner, but when she realized she was talking to a stranger, she invited him anyway. Jamal updated his followers with a lovely snap he took of both of them during the Thanksgiving celebration.
Their beautiful friendship started back in 2016 when Wanda sent a Thanksgiving dinner invitation to Jamal thinking she was texting her grandson
While it could have ended there with a lovely dinner, the following year, Jamal was invited to be a guest at Wanda’s house again. For the past 4 years, Jamal has been spending Thanksgiving dinner with Wanda’s family and their wholesome friendship has filled everyone’s hearts with joy.
After this adorable mistake, Jamal went to the Thanksgiving dinner and has gone 4 years in a row so far

Load More Replies...Since I read this story I've been coming to bored panda on Thanksgiving to see a update. I absolutely love this story. I'm crossing my fingers that all ends well and soon. Lots of love
I hope they have a speedy recovery so they can have more Thanksgivings with their adopted grandson.
This is why I don't believe in religion. If there is a god, why this grandma and grandpa who have done nothing but be kind to everyone -- even a total stranger ???. This is beyond sad. I wish them both a fast recovery and hope that science finds a way to deal with this virus
Oh wow. That's sad. It's funny how you can feel so much live for people you've never met. This choked me up. Wishing them well.
Aw no! You kind souls deserve to be happy and healthy. Good wishes from all over the world coming your way! <3
It's not exciting anymore. Newborn babies who born when it happened almost started to kindergarten. Try to remind 5 years later, they can't use internet yet.
