A letter looking for someone · A stranger I met once
Thank you, night bus driver · route 12, Dublin
Sent Nov 9, 2026
- Where & when
- Night bus route 12 · Dublin · Ireland ~2018–2019 the last bus home
- About them then
-
The night bus driver with silver hair and reading glasses on a string, who used to wait at the stop while I ran the last fifty metres.
- Who I was then
- The nurse in the blue scrubs who was always running late after the hospital night shift.
- Why I'm writing
- Just to say something · Just hoping my words reach them
For almost two years the last bus home was the only thing between me and a very long walk. You never once pulled away while I was still running. On the worst night of that winter you said, “Take your time, love, nobody is going anywhere,” and I cried a little in the back seat, quietly, so you would not notice. You probably noticed.
