Today I saw this woman, and her two kids sitting in the subway. She looked tired, happy yet, tired. She was comforting the baby that was in a bad mood, she gave him cuddles, and the cuddles calmed him down. And I noticed myself, noticing her. And a part of me longing to say. You’re doing so well, thank you for being such a good mother. I got off in my station, said nothing. But my heart had so much to say… That act of kindness touched me.

@a.praglowskaya I allowed myself to feel it, It was quite healing, I almost teared up from joy. She was such a sweet mom, thanks for the encouragement. I guess it’s not weird to say to people they’re doing amazing, even if you don’t know them.
