I found it profoundly moving to witness someone being vulnerable enough to weep on camera while singing. We are not disposable, and our grief matters.

My god that was so powerful. Folks should be sure to get to the written quotes halfway through - so clear and honest and true. And the woman who starts sobbing towards the end, then pulls herself together to finish the song. Wow. Thanks so much for this, Bottlecap.

That was very powerful. I wish I’d seen it before the holiday in time to share it.
