One of the most devastating illnesses a person and their family can experience is Alzheimer’s disease.

An X user named Dave in a long post shared, “My wife’s mom has Alzheimer’s disease. Earlier tonight, we left her parents alone at their Airbnb while we took the kids to urgent care for ear infections. Her dad fell asleep on the couch. Her mom wandered out the door…”

He added, “We rushed back as soon as we heard she was missing. It was dark and raining steadily. Her coat was still on the rack. Her wallet still on the table. I ran up and down the block asking neighbors if they had seen her. We got in our cars and combed the entire neighborhood. No luck.”

“I decided to check out a shopping center a few blocks away hoping that she had been drawn to the bright lights. I drove by the front entrance of the grocery store and, amazingly, saw her through the window sitting at a table in the coffee shop with a woman I didn’t know,” he further wrote.

“I parked and ran into the store. I found them sipping tea and talking cheerfully. I told the woman who I was and thanked her for watching after my mother-in-law. The woman and her partner had noticed her in the parking lot looking confused, so they had guided her into the store,” the post read.

Dave said that because his mother-in-law didn’t have any cash or credit cards, the stranger assisted her in buying bread and cookies and then paid for them. “They sat with her while the store employees scrambled to locate her caretaker. They were exactly the people you would hope to find in this situation,” the tweet read.

Dave further wrote, “I thanked them for treating her with such warmth and dignity. They wouldn’t let me pay them back for the groceries or tea. We don’t know their names or anything else about them, but we will always be thankful that they identified our problem and stopped to help.”

Tweet fills internet with emotions

He concluded his post by saying, “There are good people left in the world, and our family is eternally grateful.”

Since being shared, the post has amassed 6.8 million views and 61,000 likes and 6,400 retweets.

The heartwarming post is winning hearts on the internet. A user commented, “I’m so glad she ran into such kind people. Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease. I’m not sure if this would help exactly, and it does sound silly but is there a way to have her wear an apple AirTag maybe? Like as a necklace that she rarely takes off? Modern problems/solutions?”

Another user commented, “My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last month. This had me weeping.”
