What would you do if you find out that you only had a short time to live? It’s true that nothing is certain in this world but when you find yourself in this kind of situation, the pain is surely unimaginable.
U.S. veteran Lyle Chauvin was put in this exact situation.
It was when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had suffered memory loss. Despite his condition, he would never forget his favorite restaurant – Little Big Cup, which is located in Arnaudville, Louisiana.
He wanted one of his last meals to be in that special place. Of course, he was with his better half, Gloria Chauvin.
When the staff from the restaurant heard about his condition, they wanted to do something special and comforting for him.
The employees started to sing the song Amazing Grace – which is a heartfelt hymn.
The harmonies and the lyrics of the song are truly comforting and made the man emotional.
“’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!”
This beautiful song gives everyone hope and faith regardless of what is happening around us.
In the video, you will see how Lyle was trying to hold back his tears. Almost all the people around them were singing for him. It was a touching moment.
Another heartwarming moment was when Lyle held the hand of his wife who was also emotional at that time.
The owner of the restaurant shared about it on Facebook which has immediately gone viral. He said that he was “blown away”.
“Mr Chauvin is dying and he wanted one of his last meals at The Little Big Cup! Our employees and guests joined his family celebrating his wonderful life! Y’all in a time of all this uncertainty, isn’t this truly amazing? People coming together What an amazing tribute to this Wonderful Man, Veteran, Husband & Father! Kevin and I are simply honored that our little restaurant on the Bayou has become such a special place for so many, Thank Y’all,” he added on his post.
“This is just so heart warming. Thank you for your Service to our Country Sir,” one commenter wrote.
“God bless you sir! Thank you for your service. Without men and women like you we wouldn’t have them freedoms we do. Sending all the love and kindness your way.”
