Wow. I just know exactly what you mean. And how helpless it is to be that woman.

Been there. There was a time not so long ago that that woman’s way was my typical day. I wore sunglasses a lot then. The good news is it’s passed. Loved your writing in this post.

Wow. I’ve had that cry. More than once. Sometimes it is about everything and sometimes it is about nothing. Sometimes it is about something that just happened, will happen in the future, or happened a long time ago. The hiding and the wiping and hoping that no one notices because you never want anyone to see you that vulnerable, and you absolutely must put on a happy face for your kids and all of the people that depend on you. I thought I was the only one. Does it make me a bad person to be glad that I’m not?

*sigh* My chest is now tight. I have had “the cry” at the wheel. Sometimes it’s just too much. Whatever “it” might be.

What a beautiful, empathetic post. Yes, we’ve all been there, with the big things and the little things too.

Yes, been there too. You captured that moment, and all its possibilities, beautifully.
