Georgy was really touched by that short and sweet 'smile' note on her Starbucks cup. In order to show her appreciation, she wrote a 'thank you' note back to Barista on The Mighty. It began as: “Dear barista, You didn’t know me and you didn’t know my story. Most importantly, you probably didn’t know writing the simple word ‘smile’ on my order would change my day for the better,” Georgy wrote on The Mighty. “When you look at me, you might assume I’m happy, bubbly, outgoing and full of life. But you don’t really see the complete me.”

Georgy further wrote wondering what may be the Barista employee wrote that "smile" and drew a smiley beside because he or she saw her feeding tube or maybe could see through her "plastered smile". "Either way, I’m grateful,” she said. “You didn’t have to make my order special. You could have treated me like another annoying customer. But you took that extra second to add some positivity to a life that’s been filled with so much negativity lately.” Georgy further wrote that in the past she had tried to commit suicide 5 times. That particular day had been really hard for her. "You were just going about your job, unaware that writing a minuscule word on my drink would change my day and possibly my life.
