Wanda’s sassy response was that of an experienced grandmother:
“Of course you can. That’s what grandma’s do…feed everyone,” she wrote, with some skilled emoji usage to boot!
Jamal tweeted the interaction, which went viral last Thanksgiving, and people fell in love with the chance friendship that brought two strangers together for the holidays.
Throughout the year, Jamal and Wanda have kept in touch.
“She contacts me a lot,” Jamal says. “As a grandma would. She’s very sweet.”
So you can imagine the excitement that ensued across Twitter when Jamal tweeted a photo of him and Wanda together again for Thanksgiving this year!

It rapidly went viral.
The 18-year-old, Wanda and the rest of her family came together for the Thanksgiving feast, and Jamal—who works as a butcher—even carved the turkey.
Though they talk often, Jamal says he and Wanda don’t actually see each other much. Still, he hopes to see her and the family for Christmas.
