Good night Heather. I hope you get some sleep, and that tomorrow is a less bad day.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Heather, they will be so glad to see you. Not only will you be helpful, the loving nature that oozes out of your pores will be a salve.
Hang in there, Sweetheart. Get some sleep and recharge.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Much love to you and yours, Heather. I hope your cousin gets in touch soon.
What's embarassing about crying in a dark room where no one is looking at you because they all paid good money to look at what's on the giant lighted screen?
I usually don't care too much what people think if I cry at the movies, but I was really embarrassed when I went to see The Return of the King on Trilogy Tuesday. I mean, the theatre is full of huge geeks, right, and we're all totally into the story. But somehow, I get SO weepy that I am just sobbing loudly for the last 15 or 20 minutes (and leaking quiet tears for a good half hour before that). People are turning around to look at me, wondering what is wrong with me, and I realize that I am actually the biggest dork the world has ever seen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Heather. You're such good people. My thoughts are with you.
I cry in movies, at the wrong times. I don't know if people notice, but I totally skim the crowd for weepers once I'm done. Because that's usually when it's time to cry (for RotK I was only affected by the early crypoints, and maybe by more of them than any one person was meant to, but for Million Dollar Baby I was totally recovered (and quite bouncy) by the sad parts. Wept like a baby for the middle third, though).
I especially look for men crying. Not to mock, or anything. I'm just very curious.
So, yes, if you're a stranger in the theatre near me, I will notice.

Heather, I hope you're able to get some rest. I wish I could take some of the hard away from you for the coming weeks.

beth, glad everyone's checked in.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Still thinking of Heather here.
Shall I take it as a good sign that it's going to be a splendid, temperate day here today? With fluffy clouds, low humidity, birds atwitter and all that?
