The whole country should cry instead of dealing with their grief and loss with such dysfunction.

(Of course, if you know me, you know I would never actually run a marathon, so perhaps real marathoners don't think that.)<br />What an interesting idea for happiness to be hiding in the last tear, like hope at the bottom of Pandora's box. <br />xoTabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-87288324469129028512020-08-28T16:25:29.081-05:002020-08-28T16:25:29.081-05:00There's a lot to be said for a good cry.
