You are in good company and as a easy cryer, I see you and love that about you. Emily Freeman calls tears "tiny messengers" which are what allow us to share as part of who we are - in writing, in listening and loving others. Thank you for being a cryer. Grateful for your authenticity.

Beautiful, and thank you. I too am a cryer and often get annoyed with myself for being "so emotional". I tear up at the least little things. I'm still working on accepting this, so your words are spot on for me.

Nice to meet someone else in "the club". It's taken me years to accept it, mostly. Know that in your tears there is meaning and grace.

Thank you. I was chatting with a friend (at a distance) over the fence today as he cried and told me that last night he prayed for the first time in his life. His prayer was for me and for my husband. I have been sharing my faith with him as my husband is awaiting cancer treatment and I have tested positive for Covid. The emotions of life draw us all closer to God. xx

Indeed they do. What a precious reminder. Your neighbor is taking to heart your witness.

Oh Cara, tiny messengers - that's excellent! I love that and will tuck in away for the when the tears come. As you know, they will. Love you and your kind encouragement sweet friend.
