I’d Probably Still Be On The Subway

[posted by Nicole]

A couple years back, I visited New York to see an old friend. Me, NOT from the area (clearly) decided to get on a subway with luggage to navigate from Grand Central to Times Square and over to Long Island. Lord, how naive. Anyway, I’m sitting on the subway and look over, and there’s Spencer and Luke standing there. What a small world! We said some hello’s. The subway doors opened and I was seconds away from being trampled, suitcases and all. Luke picked up my suitcase and proceeded to carry it through the subway station. Not even a second thought. I followed him and was able to make it to the next subway line safely. This has always stuck with me and I think about it often. I didn’t know Luke well at all, but that was the type of person he was. I’m so sorry to everyone. He was a spark of kindness in a busy chaotic city. I won’t forget it.
