We were busy at work today, two new window dressings done and a great big order for new shop fittings was placed (yay!!) 
Then a regular customer came in carrying loads of our bags and bringing a lot of stuff back because her husband had died.
With the age of our customers I'm afraid it does happen but this one got to me. I think because the lady in question was being so brave, one great big sob escaped her as she reached the door on her way out and I was in tears! I never actually met her husband but she shopped for him quite regularly, especially in the run up to Christmas, and all the things she bought back were things I had helped her pick, nice outfits and lots of lovely things, probably a good few hours of her shopping for him, with me.
Sometimes work is hard.
