Uptown 6, approximately 7:30 pm
A woman to my right had visible tears streaming down her face.
I pulled off my headphones, after listening to the Yankee game 5 against Cleveland.
I asked "hey, are you ok? can I give you a hug?" she embraced me and told me that her Aunt was dying
it was beautiful, and necessary, because years ago, I was bawling on the same train and could have used a hug after a terrible breakup from my gf. this woman needed help, and I was there for her, stranger to stranger. we hugged and chatted
NY proud, people, this is what we do
