When those feelings come, nothing like a good strong hug. Not one of those where you barely get close and pat each others back. A real full body, long hug, that allows your mind to relax, your body to release stress or fear or pain. Best medicine
After surviving my heart attack, I too felt similar emotions. Yes, we tear up more easily. Yes, those around us may notice the change. Remember though, these are but the lubricant for our eyes so that we may see the world better. Thanks for sharing, Captain. Keep up the good fight.
We talked about this at Sisters. The Bible tells us to capture our thoughts, acknowledge them, but to dwell on what is good. We call it looking for God Sightings or GLIMMERS. We all struggle with overwhelming emotions, especially when our bodies are sick. That is when we must focus on finding those glimmers, because as long as we are still breathing, God is still encouraging us. I pray your pain allows you to cherish daily glimmers. You are loved.

Hey Chris, always remember that you are forgiven….only you could turn this into a learning experience….from what you say about your emotions, I say, “Welcome to menopause”…lol..I have always admired a man who could cry, not like a teenage girl, but a guy who has deep enough feelings that cause him to weep. It’s not as rare as you think…by the time this has passed (the cancer), you’ll know yourself better and Maria will appreciate you even more. You got this dude! I love you, Carole Lynne….

Thank you, I love the term glimmers.
