AND we’re allowed to cry for reasons we don’t fully understand. This baby story does not make me cry. I’m happy reading this but not moved to tears happy. I cry streams of tears when videos surface of children’s reading their adoption papers to their new parents. I cry a single tear at the end result of those stray dog rehab videos. Content is emotionally charged differently for different people. For me it’s gratitude because maybe I feel like that’s missing from my own life. Big displays of gratitude rip me open. Normalize men understanding and allowing their emotions to breathe.

Wow I didn’t expect a turn down that avenue of thought. I think it’s real. Public servants could be criticized for being poor stewards of tax dollars by making a unicorn license but they’ll be told to lighten up. If they concocted the entire girl and letter just to publicize their reply, it becomes scandalous.
