" We all have our ways of keeping beloved friends and family members who have passed with us at all times, and, for one elderly man, that means never really having to dine alone. Twitter user Madina Bashizadah was having lunch at In &amp;amp;amp; Out Burger on Wednesday afternoon when she noticed this man enjoying a meal with a faded picture of him and his wife stacked before him. Touched, she immediately posted the photo on Twitter, where it has so far amassed 4,617 retweets and 7,751 favorites, as well as thousands of comments expressing an outpouring of emotion.    Oh my god I just died!!! He has a picture of his wife with him as he eats! I love him I love love &#128557;&#128557;&#128557;&#128557;&#128557; pic.twitter.com/c9t0qKJfEi \u2014 \u2133adi \u212Cash (@Maaadina) October 22, 2014    But the photo was impossible to ignore in real life as well. In an email to the Huffington Post, Bashizadah said that several diners walked up to him to ask him about the picture, and that each time he greeted them very warmly and recounted this unbelievably beautiful story: RELATED: Man&amp;#039;s Touching Poem About His Late Wife Proves Love Is Eternal &amp;quot;We found out that she was his sweetheart, his wife who passed away five years ago. They met at 17, but the war had kept them apart. He had searched for her for 10 years, and one day as he was telling his barber the story, the barber calls his daughter in and it ends up being her. They were married instantly, and it lasted for 55 years until she passed. He takes her photo everywhere. On one side of the laminated photo it&amp;#039;s him and her sitting on a couch together, and on the back it has a photo of him and her side by side when they were young. Goes to show you true love does exist.&amp;quot; Perhaps the most moving aspect of this is that, thanks to his wife, he really is never alone, and not only because of her presence in the image. Because of her, wherever he goes, she always enables him to quickly make new friends. RELATED: Widower Begs for Photos of Wife Left Behind in Towed Truck "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
