To the young man and the driver of the 604 westbound 1C tonight:

Thank you. The thirty or so seconds of your time that it took to wait for me to cross the street with my daughter riding on my shoulders made my day so much better. It seems so simple, and for most people it's just a little thing, but my gratitude for that little moment today is immeasurable.

I've been struggling a lot lately with my health and my mental state's been suffering considerably. I had been feeling incredibly alone, and not wanting to live anymore. But today, when you spent time even doing a simple task to make my day better, I felt more alive than I have in days. I feel less like a burden now, and I hope things keep looking up for me from here.

I will absolutely be sure to pass the kindness on.
