At 82, Everly was told she was “too old” and dressed “inappropriately” for a trendy restaurant. Her response? A viral Facebook post that sparked outrage and demanded change. My name is Everly, and at 82, I haven’t lost my love for trying new things. It was a bright Thursday morning when my daughter, Nancy, surprised me at my little garden shop. Her visit was unexpected, and her suggestion even more so. “Mom, let’s try that new restaurant downtown,” she said, her eyes sparkling with the thrill of sharing something new with me.
We were both dressed simply; I wore my usual floral blouse and khaki pants—nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Nancy was in jeans and a T-shirt. To us, it was not how we dressed but the joy of spending time together that mattered. We chatted excitedly about the restaurant as we drove, eager to make a new memory together. Little did we know, our simple outing was about to take an unexpected turn. As Nancy and I walked into the restaurant, a wave of contemporary music and chattering greeted us. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with people chatting over their meals. We found ourselves surrounded by a younger crowd, stylishly dressed, which made our simple attire stand out. We didn’t mind, though; we were there for the experience and the food.
