Young man who was accidentally invited to a grandma’s Thanksgiving as a teenager celebrates 6th year of dinner together
Two strangers brought together by an accidental text in 2016 will keep their Thanksgiving tradition alive for the sixth year.
The Thanksgiving ritual all started when Dench sent a text message inviting who she believed to be her grandson to Thanksgiving dinner. It turned out that she had texted Hinton, who was just 17 then.
Hinton replied, asking for a photo to confirm whether it was actually his grandmother behind the text. A picture came of a woman with blonde hair and glasses who was not his grandma. He sent a picture of himself to her, along with a laughing emoji and wrote, “You not my grandma. Can I still get a plate tho?”
Dench responded, “Of course you can,” and Hinton joined the Dench family for a Thanksgiving dinner.
The chat munch became a heartwarming viral photo after it was posted online and marked the beginning of a long-standing friendship for the two.
??”It’s become a huge part of our lives,” Hinton told “Good Morning America” back in 2020.
“It’s great being part of something so loving and having people around the world to talk to us and being touched by our story.”
Hinton had told his social media followers last week that the two would be celebrating the day together again.
As a part of the tradition, Hinton tweets a photo of himself with his “second family” enjoying Thanksgiving together every year.
Despite Dench’s husband, Lonnie Dench, dying from complications of COVID-19 in April 2020, the families have kept the tradition going.

The young fashionista recently discussed the value of financial matching in dating relationships in a podcast.
She believes that she cannot date someone who is more financially successful than her since he would have to have the same level of drive to support her.
Her statements, however, caused quite a stir online as several people felt them to be highly provocative.
Kemi Olunloyo bashed her, pointing out that her mother dated pastors and governors when she was growing up, so it’s not all her fault but rather the result of her upbringing.

“No woman is above anyone because of money. You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors, so that’s all you know. Priscilla think outside the box.
Go fix your dru.g problems. A video of you blowing nitrous oxide balloons with the Marlians is about to come out.
Young lady you can’t spike food or drinks with that. Go file charges against Naira Marley. You’re an adult. That’s not your mom’s job. Nothing lasts forever”

The circumstances behind his father’s death were disclosed by Tosin Silverdam. He claimed that his father passed away due to an ulcer.
The blogger subsequently said in an article that he grieved when he realized his father was never going to return and had to put sand on his coffin.
Tosin claimed to have spoken with his father just two days before he passed away.
He even made plans to visit them and offer them supplies and a deep freezer he had bought for his mother.
The socialite disclosed that he had even bought his father some medication the day before he passed away and was intentionally not answering his calls since he knew he wanted to thank him.

Certain masquerades have a well-deserved reputation for whipping bystanders with their whips.
Nevertheless, given its persistent refusal to come into contact with the soldier, this masquerade gives the impression that it respects established authority.
The military man is heard challenging the masquerade to a fight during their conversation, but the masquerade declines, questioning why he should beat his oga.
The masquerade continues by saying that he was part of the group that performed a dance for him the day before.
The soldier laughed at this, telling the masquerade that he would have received a proper lesson if he had whipped him.
