Wow, what an amazing reflection, I'm going to keep this to remind me every time I want to bottle up my emotions, it's something I've also been dealing with and working on this year.

I used to think that crying or showing sadness was a "weak" thing to do and nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm so glad you were able to hug your nephew and brother, I hope they are doing great. Happy holidays to you and those close to you! <3
