Hannah Thornton is used to being around seniors suffering from loneliness – so when she overheard two strangers befriend each other on the train, she could not contain her happiness.
Thornton volunteers for a charity in Sheffield called Age Better; a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging friendships amongst the elderly in order to reduce social isolation during their golden years.
While she was riding a train to Liverpool at the start of February, she heard two older men strike up a conversation a few seats away.
“This time last week, I got the train to my Grandma’s and shared part of my journey with 2 lovely men,” wrote Thornton. “They’d never met before but instantly hit it off and laughed like they’d been best friends for years.”

Touched by the sweet exchange, Thornton scribbled a quick note to the duo, commending them for their neighborly attitudes.
“I didn’t want to interrupt your conversation but I wanted to let you know how heartening it’s been listening to you chatting on the train this morning,” wrote Thornton.
She went on to explain how she volunteered with Age Better and how they strived to make people feel less alone.
