The holidays are either the best or the worst time of the year for people; you’re either pumped to hang with your family and tear open the gifts sitting under the tree that’ve been taunting you all month long or you’re sad because you don’t have any family (or they suck). For a recently widowed Bro known only as “Raymond” he falls into the latter – this year will be his first spending Christmas alone seeing as how his wife recently passed and his only son is too far away for him to visit or for him to come see Raymond. Looking for someplace to spend Christmas with other people so that he wouldn’t be alone, Raymond wrote into the community Facebook page “Prestwich People”:
If that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings then you’re literally Satan. Like I’m sitting here with my lump of coal heart and even I got a little sad. Then again I’m always unhappy so there’s a good chance I’m mixing up “sad” with my usual state of being.
Luckily for Raymond, the response from the community has been amazing:
According to Prestwick People Raymond hasn’t responded to anyone’s offer yet, however the page’s administrator has come out to say “Thank You” on his behalf.
