To have wanted to give the crying lady a hug

On the jubilee line this afternoon and there was a woman with what I assume were her partner and child in a pram. She was crying and I kept catching her eye, it was awful. I just wanted to give her a hug. I had my baby in a sling and it was the underground so she was safe from my unsolicited advances, but I really wanted to give her some support. I felt awful for what must have looked like staring, she was just in my eye line and it was pretty unavoidable. I hope she is ok and doesn't feel gawped at.

Oh I don't know! I'm so fickle, I'll probably change my mind in a week or so. I'm just afraid to come across Someone like livia, but how likely is that!
