A letter that a couple posted in an apartment elevator, worried that residents might be inconvenienced by their baby's crying, is drawing attention online. Contrary to the couple's concerns, residents sent them messages of support.
On an online community recently, a post titled "A warm congratulations from an apartment" was uploaded along with photos.
The photo showed a handwritten note posted in an apartment elevator. In the letter, the couple identified themselves as "the couple in unit 1803" and said, "On Sept. 12, a baby angel was born."
They wrote, "Regardless of our intentions, the baby cries at all hours," and added, "If it is noisy early in the morning or late at night, we would be truly grateful if you could kindly understand with a generous heart."
The couple also wrote, "We apologize in advance," and, "It would be proper for us to visit each of you in person to say hello, but please understand that we cannot do so." They continued, "We will raise the baby with love, wisely and prudently," and added, "May you always be healthy, and may only happy things fill your days."
Residents who saw the couple's letter left direct messages of support on it. In various places, there were greetings such as "Congratulations," as well as notes like "We all grew up crying" and "All babies cry." A person who said they live in the downstairs unit wrote, "It's okay. I hope the child grows up well."
