Summary
A couple quietly covered a man's bill at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant after seeing him eat alone on Father's Day, with staff telling him the pair had left minutes earlier.
The woman said it was not fair for a man to sit alone on the holiday, prompting the anonymous gesture before the man could pay.
The diner, who lost his wife in 2020 and his son in 2021, had chosen a restaurant he once visited with his wife and said the act brought light to a dark day.
Unable to find the couple in the car park, he said he sat in his car and wept, adding that the strangers knew nothing of his circumstances.
