I was returning home on the last train
which was at 9:54 pm from Grand Central
and while riding this train,
we had to get off and transfer to another train to the end
of the line which was my stop.
I was sitting in the car that had the restroom
and this tall man around 40 came to use the rest room
and after that he asked me how my holiday was
I said," horrible."
He said he was sorry and moved to the door for the next stop.
We transfered trains and he walked with me
to the next train and said a few funny things to cheer me up
and it did put a smile on my face a bit.
He came into the car I was in
and asked if he could sit across me and I said sure.
As he sat there he talked
I can smell he was drinking a bit but he was not drunk.
He asked me why my holiday was horrid I told him,
" I have 5 children and 4 grand kids and yet each Chistmas I am alone.. "
He said, " I am sorry to hear this.
I have this problem in my family too with my sisters"
We talked about his life and how much he loved his deceased Mother
and women in general which he holds a lot of respect for.
His stop was coming before mine and
I can sense he felt anxious and did feel my pain.
Before he left he extended out his two large hands to me for my hands
to hold them, I normally don't do this however,
I felt he was placed there for me to feel comfort and for me to allow him to give it.
I gave him my hands and he held them and said,
" I wish so much more for you in 2007
and may your family see what a wonderful woman you are,
it was nice to have spoken to you"
This kindness at this time was just what my heart needed,
I really needed a hug at this time,
however,this gesture too was wonderful
from the
hands of a stranger.
with love,
Fatimah
how lovely, fati. i feel the need of such comforts right now. as one woman to another – i feel such thin skinned moments too. years ago an older man reached out to me in my grief. i’ve never forgotten Roger. i’ll never forget what that man did for me. going to cry now..lovely post girlfriend!
I am so glad that this man was placed there by a higher spirit to ease some of your sorrow Fati.I will be praying for you.Steven

HI Michelle,I am in alot of pain and so is he, it;s very hard to deal with decissions on the phoneand with others around.I don’t know the answer any more,I am damaged from my past and very fearful to walk again in this same steps.The lack of understanding on his part does not help if one can’t feel my pain how can one help ease it? Thank you my lovely Michelle for sharing my painand giving me your love always.Love to you Fatimah
HI Tristan,thank you for your loving words and your most beautiful peaceful photo. I do love it so much.Thank you for always offering me love and comfort it’s very important to everyoneat all times to feel loved and this is what I try to give you the security of my heart to know you always have a place inside it and to know you are always surrounded with love even as far apart we might be.Love youMom
HI Steven,I thought at first this man was drunk and that was the last thing I neededhowever, he was friendly and his eyes caring and his spirit strong. I needed this right at that moment and when he made me smile I knewGod placed him near me for comfort and infact I was thinking all this timeit was I who was suppose to calm him and maybe take away the urge to drink ifonly I could hold his hands he would feel the light from inside me and feelhe has no reason to drink any longer. I have done this before with some and also gave hope for a baby to one who was childless so I know I do have the strength to heal. Now it’s time for someone to help me heal and again I am alone. Thank you Steven for your prayers and your friendshipit means so much to me.Fati

Hi Fati,Everybody goes thru a lot of painful situations during all his life. Loneliness, the death of a loved one and a lot of awful situations. But we also go thru a lot of beautiful ones that are the ones that prepares us for the awful ones. I have a rule that almost never fails: for every three successive good ones, comes a bad one, and vice versa…The secret is the attitude we take for every situation. WE, and only WE, decide how bad or good a situation is. And, please believe me, I learnt all this the HARD way. Now I decide how bad or good something is. I learnt that nobody can hurt me or my soul if I don’t let him do it.I know It’s diffcult. It was very difficult for me to make it but It’s possible…Love, KF
HI KF,Thank you for your caring words and they are so true too.My decissions have gotten me hurt. I love to deeply. I give more than I should and I have a golden heart.Yes I have been thru hell in my life too however at my age now I shouldbe enjoying the few years of good life I have left not suffering againand again and being alone year in year out.If I was a horrible person I can understand however, there is only one of meand like everyone there is one.. Cherish the heart that gives not break it.Thank you my friend really your words are wise.with love and lightFati
