Today, at work, a woman and her young daughter came to my register. The girl was hugging her mother's leg and being very well behaved.

Today, like every day for the last 4 years, my father picked a fresh flower from his garden and took it to my mother. This time I decided to go with him to see her. And as he placed the flower on her grave, he said, “I just wish I had picked her a fresh flower every day when she was alive.” MMT

Today, my wife kissed me goodbye, got in her car, crashed, and passed away. When the coroner called me at 9AM, I broke into tears and ran into the restroom at work to wash off my face. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that my wife’s lipstick was still on my cheek. MMT

Today, I was looking through the Facebook remembrance groups of two people that died from my high school. The girl was sweet, smart, quiet and unpopular. She was killed by a drunk driver. The guy was inconsiderate, rude and popular. He was the drunk driver. His group has 602 members. Hers has 48. MMT

Today, I returned home after being stationed in Iraq for 9 months. While I was still in uniform, I went into an ice cream shop near the airport to get a milkshake.

Today I told my little brother to be careful. "The higher you climb, the farther you will fall," I said. He smiled and replied, "No. The higher the fall, the higher the bounce." MMT

Today, for my 18th birthday dinner I asked to go to a specific Chinese restaurant downtown. My dad looked up the address and said, "Oh no, this place is in the gay part of town!"

Today, my son and I were in a car accident. I came out of it with just a cut over my eye, but my son fell into a coma.

Today, I met an amazing guy at a local diner during the breakfast rush. He was sincere and handsome. We agreed to meet back at the diner for lunch, but he never showed up.

Today, I teased my 27-year-old cousin when I realized that he was afraid of fireworks... But only until I found out that it's not the fireworks themselves, but the sounds they make that remind him of the gunshots he heard overseas. MMT
