I'm a Good Listener

I was on a cruise a couple of weeks ago. I got up around 3 am one night so I went to get some coffee and as I was making my coffee a lady approached me and we started chatting. We made our way to a booth where she continued to tell me about her life, her husband, kids and disappointments. I sat and listened only putting in the occasionally "awww."

On our last cup of coffee she thanked me for being a listening ear. I really think she needed to be heard and I was happy I could be there for her.

Sometimes it's good to remain quiet and just listen.
