We need them. To not partake is to backup the plumbing.

Hi Kim, You’ve penned such a meaningful one-liner. I echo what Heid said; tears of sorrow or joy serve a purpose. Well done. Have a wonderful day-Alexis

There is a time for everything, as Ecclesiastes wrote. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance. Never give up. Hugs.
