Lovely stranger on the train

I was on the train home from Finsbury Park with my mum earlier. We were having a quiet, emotional conversation - she was telling me how much she misses her own mum and we were holding hands after a lovely evening together.

A woman sitting opposite us smiled, and as we got off the train she stopped to tell me that we have a beautiful relationship and that it had been lovely to watch.

It was such a small moment, but incredibly kind, and it genuinely made my evening. I don’t think I properly expressed how much I appreciated it, so I wanted to share it here in case she somehow sees this. And even if she doesn’t, hopefully it’s a reminder to all of us that a few kind words can really stay with someone ❤️

Love this city ✨
