THE EMPTY CHAIR

A man walked into a restaurant and noticed an elderly woman sitting alone at a table set for four.
Every few minutes, she glanced at the entrance, smiled hopefully... then looked away.

The waiter quietly said, "She comes here every Sunday."

"Is she waiting for someone?"

"Yes," he replied. "Her children."
"But no one has come."
The waiter smiled sadly.
"They send money every month. They call occasionally. They say they're busy. She always believes that this Sunday will be different."

The man looked at the untouched chairs around her table.

They weren't empty because no one could sit there.
They were empty because someone had chosen not to.
Sometimes, the greatest form of neglect isn't the absence of provision. It's the absence of presence.
As another week begins, let's remember that those who love us don't only need our money.
Sometimes, they simply need us.

Have you checked on someone who would be genuinely happy just to hear your voice?

When was the last time you visited someone who truly mattered to you?

When was the last time you visited your parents—not because they needed something, but simply because they needed you?
Remember, tomorrow isn’t promised.

Good evening, Lekeelekee Family.
