A male netizen touches hearts of the online community after sharing his heartwarming encounter with an elderly vendor selling pinipig.
Ric Aricayos, a Facebook user shared a touching experience that brought tears to the eyes of netizens. Ric recounted an encounter with an elderly vendor selling pinipig that left a lasting impression on him. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
Ric and his wife were on their way to the mall to buy a replacement tumbler when they came across a man they called “Kuya”. The old man was the same vendor who had been selling ice cream to his wife since she was a child.
Despite facing challenges, the grandpa continued to sell his goods, even though the burden of age and hardships was evident in his worn-out ice cream box.
Moved by compassion, Ric’s wife insisted on buying pinipig from the vendor. Despite the ice cream vendor’s initial surprise, they handed him the amount needed to purchase the tumbler.
The grandpa thanked them and wished them a Merry Christmas. He also advised them not to drink while driving as they left.
His wife revealed that the vendor’s pinipig seemed smaller compared to the past, and it brings a moment of sadness. However, she soon realized that the tears she shed were not only out of pity for Kuya but also because, despite life’s challenges, he continued to find joy in what he did.
The encounter left his wife in tears. The couple emphasized the importance of giving thanks to the Lord for both small and big blessings.
