>>72732772They don't want to worry us too much, but right now, they can't help it.
They want to be a light that makes US feel better, but they're also emotional women who cry when the wind blows the wrong way. What they need to realize is that they fostered an audience of people like me who see them as their wives and/or daughters and WANT to comfort them and hold them sometimes.
The final sentence and the fact that they said they spent a bunch of time reading messages from us makes me think they're slowly accepting that that it's fine to confide in us a bit if they need to. And man, they REALLY need to right now...
