Y'all remember those dudes who were accidentally invited to a family's Thanksgiving but went anyway and made it a tradition? I wanna see something like that happen for this man, something good for him to look forward to every year on his birthday.

Also do you guys remember that grandpa who made a bunch of burgers for all his grandkids and only one showed up to eat with him? The internet worked its magic. He hosted a cookout and thousands of people came to share delicious burgers 🥲

Jamal was accidentally invited by Wanda via text here in Phoenix. That was I believe about 10 years ago now and the story is aired every year as they still get together and of course now consider each other family. Great story!

Thanks for the link, had forgotten some details. Thought it was a guy and his friend who got invited, but it was just one guy.

That man is not thinking about cake, pie maybe. That could be special too!
