This morning, a heartwarming moment at an Oklahoma McDonald's is going viral for all the right reasons.
A little boy noticed an older man eating breakfast all alone, so he decided to join him.
The boy's mom caught this whole thing on video.
He asked where the older man's kids were, and I was like, I don't know, they might have moved away.
And he didn't like that, so he went over there and asked if he could sit with them.
Ashlyn Drew's video shows her son Hudson taking his little tray over to join the man.
But these perfect strangers actually have a connection.
People in town helped identify the mystery man as Dan Taylor.
Ashlyn and Dan put the pieces together, and it turns out that Dan was close with Ashlyn's great-grandparents.
Did it make your day at all, that moment?
Oh, so precious.
Dan is an 87-year-old great-grandparent himself who served in the Marines for 21 years.
Thank you, sir.
He said all of his grandkids and great-grandkids live in other states, though, and his wife has passed.
So the moment really meant the world to him.
