It never fails.  I walk into the store; calm, cool and collected.  I make my way towards the card section.  I pick up the first card and as if on cue, a tear swells in my eye until it gets too big to contain.  it spills over onto my cheek, and I tilt my head forward to make my hair fall down each side of my face.  I wouldn’t want anyone to notice.

I place the card back in its spot to prevent even more tears, and I pick up a second card.  I know full well that a second card will only invite more tears to join the pool at the bottom of my chin, so I quickly choose one that looks sweet but gentle, and I make a dash for the register.

This couldn’t be more true!

 True.

 I learned this a long time ago…I wish I could rub it off on others.
