Photographer Groans Internally When 10 Mins Before Closing He Sees Mom Walk In, But Then He Notices Her Daughter
James BoredPanda staff
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!

What do you think ?
you made me cry, you rat bastard. I've got a meeting with the VP in 20 mins and I look like a blubbering idiot.
same her
*here
I was crying until i read your situation and laughed. When i first saw this article i passed on it thinking it would be over done and perhaps cheesy. I was crying one line after seeing the kid poking around the corner and her mom breaking down.
Just show them why... they will understand... :-)
I cried so hard, THAT POOR GIRL!!!!!! 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ditto on the blubbering....thankfully no meeting...
Same here too. Luckily, my meeting with colleagues is in 1.5 hour.
XD i hope you are alright
Show this to the VP...instant raise in 3...2... *for a promotion, remember to bring a box of tissues, too!
God me too. I'm bawling.
Damn onion cutting ninjas
Omg they got married?? Is this real? Amazing!
I think they did marry if he's referring to the girl as he step-daughter...
Hello, i'm better than the two people below me.
This was meant for the main one but it's somehow in here, sorry Das.

I'm making $85 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $120 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do... http://cutt.us/hmRpX

Fuck you man, outta here with that spam bullshit.
I think we all need to see these pictures!!!
I definitely want to see them ! And I love how this spreads so much positivity in us , even if the story is fake or true
She has a right to privacy. Those photos show her at a time in her life when she thought she was going to die. They represent the worst time in her life, and she has the absolute right not to post them if she doesn't want to. Obviously, her stepfather agrees. ... If the story alone isn't enough for you, I don't know what to say. A normal person would sooner see a photo of the happy, healthy kid she is NOW, after beating her illness.
Ok I wasn't expecting someone to go all crazy on me. I was simply saying it would cool to see the pictures, that's all. My bad.
I'm with you Danny Lee, the venom behind Aunt Messy's response is actually shocking and took me completely aback. It's one thing to try to educate someone and welcome them to view it from another view point, it's quite another to jump down someone's throat for trying to show support. Aunt Messy, I'm sorry this subject is clearly personal and hurts you, that must be awful. But you were really mean in your own way. Especially using the word "normal" in 2017! Really, really rude reaction to a supportive statement, and you failed to treat a human being like a human being - something you went after him for in the first place.
You are actually unhinged. Holy rage issues Batman. You are literally incapable of communicating without insulting people.
Aunt Messy...aptly named. You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't even know if this is a real story or a writer just made it up. Aren't we all lucky that we have you to educate us all on proper internet comment etiquette . You're a mess . :-/
Yeah!

Well Danny boy, for us to see the photos, this would have to have really happened. Remember where you read this....the internet. There is no reason not to feel good. It was a feel good story. Thats all it was though...a story.

@Elizabott - you ARE a bot. You don't need to see the photos to understand the story. If you think you do, then you're either really, really thick, or you want to exploit the pain of a young girl. It's twisted and sick for you to think you have some kind of "right" to invade the privacy of a young lady who, if she WANTED you to see the photos, would have posted them herself. Why are you so eager to crawl into her life? She doesn't want the photos up, they don't go up. It's not up to YOU, and no one cares what YOU think of that. ... As for you patronizing crap aimed at me, you really are a sick little puppy, aren't you? You just can't understand decent behaviour, even when someone slaps you in the face with it.
"you really are a sick puppy, aren't you?" Seriously? I understand both of your comments, but now I think it is you that is sick. Nothing elizabott said was an insult.
