A few years back a delivery driver (can't remember which company) started crying in my company's reception. His wife was in labour and there was a complication so she was being rushed into theatre he told me, but he couldn't be there because if he cancelled his shift he wouldn't be able to pay for food for his family. He still had half a van full of deliveries, I didn't really know what to say to him, I said that I thought being with his wife was more important, and that I was sure his employer would understand his issue.
I still think about that day all the time.
