    Today when I went into work, I was in one of the worst moods I could have possibly been in. Shortly after I clocked in, this lady came in. She was picking up three sandwiches. I was on the grill cooking a steak and cheese; so my manager rung her up.

    Lady: I'm having a terrible day.

    Manager: Oh what's wrong?

    Lady: I started going back to school and seeing all the other kids makes me really sad.

    Manager: Why?

    Lady: *starts tearing up* My daughter died last year right around now.

    Manager: *takes her hand* I am so sorry.

    Lady: *starts bawling* She hung herself.

    Me coming into work wishing I was dead, made me feel like a terrible person. This moved me so much, you have no idea. After the conversation my manager and the lady sat down and talked for a good half hour. She had to go back to work and close. I almost cried listening to her story. I couldn't even handle it. People, including myself, should never think about killing themselves. Seeing the hurt it brought to that mom was unbearable. If you ever think no one will care, someone will.
