近日,一位名叫James Morales的药局员工的推特使看的人禁不住泪流满面。
我们从事服务业的都有自己最喜爱的客户。James跟一对常来取药的老夫妻结了缘,每次来时都跟他有说有笑的。但最近一次的邂逅让他觉得有点不对劲…
我们已经警告你了。如果你今天不想哭就别看下去。要看,请准备好卫生纸
Today I had one of, if not, THE saddest experience of my life. I know most of yall wont care but, I just HAVE to share it. Heres my thread.

我今天可能经历了一生中最悲哀的事。我知道你们大多数的人不会在乎,但我必须把它写下来。
They’re regulars. The old woman was usually the one who did t
he transactions and initiated conversations with me, and the rest of us

我在一个药局当技工。有一对夫妇一周会来两三次,来拿他们的药。我们都认识他们。
他们是常客。通常是老太太负责付钱,跟我们哈啦。
Both of them have been coming to our pharmacy for years, so my coworkers knew them way more than I did. But they grew close to me.

他们夫妇来我们的药局很多年了,我的同事都跟他们很熟,比我熟多了。但我也跟他们很亲近了。
There was never a day where they weren’t together, and thats why today was very odd to me when I saw him walk up to the counter by himself.

她总是很开心,喜欢聊天。而他就站在旁边深情的望着她,仔细聆听。
他们每次都在一起,所以今天我看到他独自来时就觉得有点奇怪。
“Mr. Smith, how you doing today?”, I said. He told me that he could be better, which is his usual reply so I didnt think of anything of it.

“史密斯先生,你今天好吗?”我问他。马马虎虎,他说。这是他一向的回答,我也没在意。
“..My wife..she passed yesterday night. I’m actually here to return the medications because she wasnt even able to use it.”
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
“…我太太…她昨晚过世了。我只是来退她没机会服用的药。”
Our pharmacy is always busy and loud. But somehow, everybody inside the pharmacy heard what he said and stopped what they were doing.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
药局里总是很忙碌嘈杂的。但不知为什么,每个人都听到他说的话而停下了手中的活。
It was silent, the quietest it has ever been in there. Everyones stomach was in a knot, while Mr. Smith stood there in front of me in tears.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
一切变得很安静,从没这么安静过。史密斯先生含着泪站在我面前,每个人都感到肚子里有个结。
At this point, I was holding back my tears so hard yall dont even know. I look behind me, and some of my coworkers were in tears already
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
“我不愿这么说,但我以为我会比她早走。今早很难起床,去看空旷的床那一头。她是我的挚友和爱人。”
这时,你们不知道我在多努力忍住眼泪。我回头瞥了一眼,有些同事已经泪眼汪汪了。
“Shes watching over me, and is the best angel I could ever ask for.” He was in tears, and so were we.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
“但别伤心,我答应她我会活下去。我会认真的活,按时吃我的药。我会信守我的承诺。”
“她在天堂看望着我,是我能想象最好的天使了。”
他哭了,我们也哭了。
But the strong individual he was, he managed to pull himself together and even managed to crack a few jokes with my pharmacists after a bit.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
但他真的很坚强。他重整了一下自己,竟然还跟药剂师讲了几个笑话。
Before leaving, he left us with an advice that I’ve heard before, but never knew the importance behind it until that moment. He said
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
然后在离开前,他留下了一个我以前听过,但从未重视的忠告,他说…
He regrets one thing, which was their last conversation. He wished he could have said I love you. Anything other than “good night sweetie”
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
一定要让你心爱的人知道你感激他们。你永远不知道他们何时会咽下最后一口气,你什么时候见他们最后一面。
他后悔一件事:他们最后的对话。他希望他说了我爱你,而不只是“晚安甜心。”
We he left, my coworkers all told him to stay strong and that we will be there for him. I just stood there, and thought about it too much.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
你能想象吗,这种一辈子的遗憾。遗憾你没机会跟你的挚爱多说些话。
他离开时,同事们都劝他要坚强,我们都关心他。而我只能呆站在那儿胡思乱想。
Because if I was in his shoes, I’d be broken. Id be numb. Spending the majority of your life with someone, just to be left alone in the end.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
你怎么在失去最好的朋友后再活下去?你如何能继续,好像没发生任何事?早上怎么起床?
如果我是他,我肯定崩溃了。我会麻木不仁。跟人过一辈子,最后却被孤零零的留下。
then, I realized all of my damn coworkers were texting/calling their significant others, telling them that they love em, teary-eyed and all.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
我看到我们的药剂师打电话,给她丈夫。她跟他说发生了什么事,并告诉他,她感激他。我觉得挺好玩的。
然后我发现每个同事都在纷纷发短信或打电话给另一半,说他们爱他们,哭的稀里哗啦的。
Make sure to tell the ones you love how much they mean to you, before you dont have the chance to anymore.
— James Morales (@isthisjames) September 12, 2017
然乎我意识到,我也想给谁发短信,可是我没人发。
记得在你还有机会时,跟你爱的人讲他们对你多重要,不要错过了…
