[Financial News] A small note handed to a worker who was crying alone on the subway by a stranger couple has remained a warm memory even after 10 years, drawing a heartwarming response.
According to News 1 on the 13th, user A shared an episode from 10 years ago on X (formerly Twitter) the previous day.

They added, "A couple sitting across from me came over, and the woman gave me a note and some snacks," along with a photo of the note they received at the time.
The note read, "I don’t know why you’re crying, but I hope you worry a little less and smile~. Stay strong and fighting! (Seeing those big teardrops made me tear up too). I’m not a weird person, and I bought this today. Cheer up."
A said, "I wonder if they know I’m still finding comfort in this," adding, "I don’t think I’ll ever forget it."
They continued, "I want to tell them, 'I’m proud of my work now, and I think I’m living fairly happily in a better environment. Things are still hard sometimes, but I’m grateful that your words keep giving me strength.'"
A added, "It is such a precious and beautiful memory. Thank you for comforting me, even by chance, today."
Readers who saw the story responded with comments such as, "I feel comforted too," "I hope they see this post, even by chance," "This restores my faith in humanity. Life is still worth living," and "Such a warm-hearted person."
