Stranger (#30/100) Andy, Friendly Stranger

Andy was in Paducah KY from Tennessee where he drove up to see the full solar eclipse. We met while waiting to be seated at a restaurant. I told him we were from California and then he shared that he had siblings in San Francisco. He had heard that his ‘father’ who raised him was not his biological father. He shared his entire 23rd me and Ancestry story with me. The brothers and sister he thought were cousins, were in fact his siblings, who he met through DNA. I learned how old his parents were, when they died. That they died within a few weeks of each other. Andy kept the crowd entertained while waiting to be seated. His t-shirt caught my eye. His wife and mother-in-law were wearing the same shirt. Simply a lovely human.
