As Activities Director at The Cohen Home, an assisted-living community in Johns Creek managed by the William Breman Jewish Home, I took a group of nine residents and staff to eat at the Bahama Breeze restaurant on North Point Parkway on Wednesday, Jan. 18. When I asked for the check at the end of our meal, our waiter informed us that our tab had been taken care of by one of the other diners that day. Our benefactor chose to remain anonymous, so we were unable to thank him for this generosity. Hopefully, he will see this expression of gratitude.

The residents were absolutely delighted and kept wondering why they had been treated, “Was he missing his own parents who live far away? Maybe his parents have passed away and he can’t do things for them anymore. He is someone with a big heart.”

The enjoyment of this gift continued when we returned to The Cohen Home. The lunch group couldn’t stop talking about what had happened. Soon even the residents who had not been out to lunch were talking about it and delighting in the fact that someone showed so much love to a table of mothers and fathers who were total strangers. Thank you for your great kindness. We have discovered that sometimes there really is a free lunch.
