The edge of tears...

Call it stress.  Call it hormones.  Call it whatever, but today felt like tears were threatening to spill at any moment.  I'm not a crier.  Okay, not an often crier.  When it happens, it's usually fast and furious, and then it's over.  Today was not like that.

I kept getting overwhelmed by emotions, and not all of them had to do with me or Wayne, and it was just hard to deal with.  A columnist for our local paper wrote an article about his terminal brain cancer.  A Facebook friend of a friend posted that her husband died yesterday from lung cancer. 

On my way home from school, I dropped my husband off for his oncologist appointment, and I drove the ten minutes to my house to wait for him to call me back to pick him up.  I thought I might take a short nap, but instead I locked myself in the bathroom and let the tears that had been pooling in my eyelids all day spill over and over and over. 

I feel a little better now, but my emotions are so crazy lately, and it makes me feel so weak.
