So wrote Chip Gibbons in a piece inspired by Lenn’s story that I linked, a piece describing his own experiences of love, loss and pets. I am grateful for his insight.
If big, strong grown men cried more often, perhaps they wouldn’t live on average seven years less than women or committ suicide at four times the rate of women.
Yes, sometimes our love surprises us. I hadn’t seen life that way before.
Thanks, Chip, for that truth.
