I remember when this happened and it was funny as shit. “You not my grandma, can I still get a plate though?”. The internet isn’t always awful
They’re having to meet through FaceTime this year because the woman is recovering from chemo. She has breast cancer. Hopefully they get to be together next year.
I fucking love it every year when I see this post saying they’re still doing it. So happy for them
When I saw [the string of posts about it on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/darsynia/768406032857890816) I screamed out loud! WANDA I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD CANCER. DO NOT SCARE US LIKE THAT!!
I think she’s in treatment but good god do I want to protect this woman I’ve never met! Good for them to keep going, everyone who’s heard about it is rooting for the two of them!!
While all of my mistaken text exchanges has a beautiful woman asking me to send gift card codes and my social security number
I love this story! Glad they are still going x
Rest in peace grandpa! I love this story!
Outstanding
I remember when this first happened, awesome crazy story by chance.
Why do we never hear about the dude she intended to invite? What the hell ever became of him?
Damn that dudes been eating GOOD
This was a beautiful story
This is so wholesome 
A mistake that led to a good friendship, that’s really wonderful!

I love that they’re still doing this! I saw this years ago and thought it was cute but now they have a new family friend, it’s so wholesome
I love that they still get together! ❤️
Scam text on a daily ruined this indefinitely
I look forward to this story every year
She has been feeding him GOOD.
I remember this, still amazing!
i wanna tag the made me smile sub but idk how that works
I love that there is a yearly update
Is this still going on 😂
I was honestly hoping to see this was still going on. Much love to them and you all on Thanksgiving
Love hearing this every year. Never gets old.
Warms my dark heart reading this story.
Praying that they can continue this for many more years.
Each year he gets bigger and bigger
Damn. This has been reposted all day
By the looks of it, he’s had a few plates lol. Fr though it’s good to see people breaking bread like this.
This was interesting when it first happened, but after 9 years, they’ve had a longer friendship than a lot of my closest friends. Can I post here when I go on my vacation with my former coworker I met 5 years ago and kept in touch with? 😂
I wonder how many people are going to karma whore off these two today. I’ve seen at least 3.
This is a beautiful story. We need more like these.
