16. I find that I cry every morning these days.

I cry when I wake up and remember. The fear. The uncertainty. The lies. The fools.

I think it means we are in touch with what's going on as opppsed to being immune to the suffering, and I take a small, tiny sense of relief that I am still able to feel things.

We have a special kind of stupid happening in Texas, don't we???!!!

Hugs to you.
