Old Man Told A Radio Show That He Was Lonely So They Did Something Amazing
When this lovely 95-year-old man called into a BBC radio show one morning no one expected something this wonderful to happen. Bill, a longtime listener of Alex Dyke’s morning show, called into the show to tell Dyke about how much he missed his wife.
The radio host Dyke was so moved by his story. He sent a cab to Bill’s house to pick him up. Then he made him a special guest on the radio show.
Bill, the 95-year-old fan of Alex Dyke’s show, called in to tell the story of how lonely he’s been since his wife’s tragic injury.
Sadly his wife took a nasty fall that landed her in hospice care. Bill visits her every day, but he said he wishes that she could still be at home with him. Since he doesn’t have his wife around anymore, Alex Dyke keeps him company.
Bill was invited to be a special guest on Dyke’s show. He was received warmly by listeners, and by Dyke himself. The gesture meant a lot to Bill.
This small act of kindness serves as a reminder. It doesnt have to be a grand gesture. A simple act of kindness no matter how insignificant it may seem, always goes noticed. Giving Bill that time to share his story and have someone listen and talk to him. Lots of people can take away something from this. Just being there is enough to make someones day that little bit brighter!
