A smile

30/5/2014

A friend of mine was on her way home from work yesterday and noticed a young woman crying. My friend went over to her and asked her if she was ok. (Well, obviously she wasn't, but you know, it was a conversation starter.) The friend asked a number of more immediate questions: Can you get home? Do you need anything? Can I do anything to help? 
After exhausting the more obvious, my friend just asked 'Would you like a hug?'.  
The crying woman smiled.
