Boy, does this ever sound familiar! On the news they quite often have stories about the lives of exceptional human beings who have been lost to the pandemic. More often than not, I find myself getting teary-eyed. I'm right there with you, MeXoXo & Breaking Dawn. Since I'm a guy, my tendency to be weepy sometimes embarrasses me.
