Two years feels both so recent and so long ago..your persistence and battle for returned strength are remarkable James. Thank you for sharing this one.

Not everyone will agree, but I believe that being able to cry is a gift, and a sign that points the way towards an enormous heart.

Thank you Teyani. I am no longer embarrassed to cry, it's just an honest reaction to whatever I am feeling--be it joy at seeing Black Skimmers, frustration, or sorrow for whatever reason.

I love that you are no longer embarrassed to cry. Tears of joy are very appealing to kind women.
