I'm my sons' mother and my husband's wife - although I never post about him on social media because he'd probably divorce me if I did!

Accident or on purpose, the result is the same, and that’s one fewer life than there should be in the world.

But in that moment when my brother took the field, all that washed away, and everyone was proud... I looked up at my dad, and he was smiling.

Is life a big, long, tiresome slog from sadness to regret to guilt to resentment to self-pity? Or is life weird, outrageous, bizarre, ironic, and just stupid? Gotta go with stupid.
