On the plattform

After years, it was time for her to say goodbye to our town. I felt that this was not easy for her. So I offered to take her to the railway station in the next bigger town. She gladly accepted. I picked her up. At the station we had time for a cappuccino and a slice of pizza. We did not talk much. It was enough just to be there. I took her to the platform and carried her suitcase. There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the station area. The arriving train was directed to a neighbouring track. How good it was that I was there. Then came the goodbyes. I told her to keep her in my mind and in my prayers. Than I stayed until the train left the station. Back in the car, I received a WhatsApp. "How nice that I could spend the last few hours with you before my departure. It gave me so much strength and positive energy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have become like family to me!"
