This episode took me by a spread of feelings and tears. Aaron’s story in regards to the final time he received to bodily see his son and his household earlier than the blast jogged my memory of simply how nice so many people have it in life and to not take it without any consideration.
I hope this episode takes you thru your individual vary of feelings and helps put a few of your individual issues – that may not be so important in any case – into perspective the way in which it did for me.
