The past week has been one of the hardest I have seen in a long time. I go into work, and Angela lets me in (we aren't open yet) She is crying. She then tells me that the store is closing. Holly comes up to me also, and her mom is there as well (they both work there) And she starts to cry, bawl even and she says "Mom, we the only income in our house, we are out of a job, we are going to lose the house...What are we going to do?" all as she is crying her eyes out. I grab her, and start to cry as we embrace into a hug. Tina...The store manager comes over, and grabs me and tells me to come with her. I follow her. and so does one of my best friends I aquired at Kmart, who started the same time as I that day. We get taken to electronice were all the full timers are. I look around, I see Randy, Our district manager and at this point I catch a glimps of Tami, one of the managers. She notices me tearing up. She walks over torwards me and holds her arms out as if to say "I know honey, we all feel this way" and she holds me as I bawl into her shoulder, barley controling my emotions as I start to shake. I let go of her embrace to notice I started a chain reaction, everyone starts to cry. Tina, who has been there 32 years comes up to me and hugs me as I continue to cry. Then Debbie, the softlines manager. and one by one, we all continue to cry, embracing each other, knowing whats to come. knowing our family is getting broken up, knowing that in a few months, we wont be there for eachother anymore,. We all know it is impossible to maintain a strong relationship if there no reason for all of us to meet. No meeting place, no family. We all are one huge family and it kills me to know that our family will be no more. As eachday draws an end, there is just little reminders that our family at Kmart is no more. Pharmacy is closing on Thursday. The company renting a rent-a-cop to watch us "disgruntled" employees,making sure we don't steal anything. after all, we have "nothing to lose" HOW DARE the landlord shut the doors of this loving family that has helped nuture and teach all of us countless things. I will never find a job were the people are as great as the one I have now. I am going to miss this huge part of my life, and that alone brings tears to my eyes.
