Photographer Groans Internally When 10 Mins Before Closing He Sees Mom Walk In, But Then He Notices Her Daughter
We all know the feeling. It’s been a long and tiring day at work, there are just a few minutes to go and you are counting them down, cursing the clock as it seems to move ever slower. You’ve already stepped out of work-mode mentally, so when you get that call, that email, that customer through the door literally seconds before freedom, you are totally unprepared and a bit irritable.
Most of us in this situation would try to fudge it somehow, pass on the responsibility and do just about anything to get the hell out of there. This is the story of a guy that didn’t. His heart told him otherwise, and it was the best decision he ever made.
Read the beautifully illustrated story below. It was originally shared on the true story website Not Always Right and is about a sick child, a desperate mother and a kind-hearted photographer. The ending has an amazing plot twist, so don’t forget the Kleenex!

She got a dream photo shoot, her special unicorn pict, a new lease on life, a happy mom, a happy family, and a dad... all because mom helped her follow her dream. Thanks for being the kind of people that make dreams and fairy tales into real-life happy endings - for all 3 of you. Bored pandas everywhere are smiling through our tears.

Just over a month ago, I lost my father to cancer. It was entirely unexpected and came on very quickly. Only 10 days after finding out about it, he was gone. I understand how unfairly short life can be sometimes, and how hard that fact is on everyone. I am one of those people who would put anything insignificant (or significant) on hold to do anything that I could to help. The photographer, real or fictional, is a good human being. Now I'm standing here crying at my desk...
