One Stack of Pancakes at a Time: The Quiet Heroism of Jenny Millers. Jenny Millers, 29, ran Rosie’s Diner in a small Kansas town. After losing her parents as a teen and losing contact with her only close relative, the diner became her home—simple, quiet, and sometimes lonely.
One chilly October morning, a quiet 10-year-old boy began coming in every day. He always sat alone, ordered only water, and never ate. Jenny noticed his routine and, on the fifteenth day, brought him a plate of pancakes “by mistake.” The boy gratefully ate everything, and this became their unspoken daily ritual. Jenny never asked his name, and he never gave it.
