One of the worst things that can happen during this pandemic is seeing your loved ones getting sick. Sadly, with the corona cases skyrocketing to over 1 million, many are forced to face our family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers being sickened by this disease. Recently, a man named Jamal Hinton found out that a woman who became his friend after she accidentally invited him to Thanksgiving dinner 4 years ago has become ill with COVID-19.

Jamal went viral in 2016 when he shared an adorable exchange he had with Wanda when she texted him thinking she was reaching out to her grandchild. Wanda wanted to invite her grandson to Thanksgiving dinner, but when she realized she was talking to a stranger, she invited him anyway. Jamal updated his followers with a lovely snap he took of both of them during the Thanksgiving celebration.

After this adorable mistake, Jamal went to the Thanksgiving dinner and has gone 4 years in a row so far
