COL Mikel J. Burroughs here is a share to go along with the read:
We often believe that the very worst and most immature thing to do might be to cry about our sorrows. In fact, the ability to go off for a while and have a very intense cry about how awful everything is is in fact a crucial bit of wisdom - and a very adult move as well. Being a crybaby isn't just something children should be afraid of being called, it's something every adult should be proud to remember about themselves.
“One of the wisest things about young children is that they have no shame or compunction whatsoever about bursting into tears, perhaps because they have a more accurate and less pride-filled sense of their place in the world: they know they are extremely small beings in a hostile and unpredictable realm, that they can’t control much of what is happening around them, that their powers of understanding are limited and that there is a great deal to feel distressed, melancholy and confused about. Why not then, on a fairly regular basis, sometimes for only a few moments at a time, collapse into some highly salutary sobs at the sheer scale of the sorrow of being alive?...”

A very well written piece my brother. You have hit the mark time and again. I am really glad the saying, big boy don't cry” has been debunked.

I expect that since this is Memorial Day eve for 2020, you may well have cried and mourned for those who were killed in wartime, those veterans who died later and family members and friends who have been killed or died over the years. I expect that other times you have had tears of joy in happier times such as reunions with family and/or old friends Joe.
I pray that you and I are spiritually mature enough to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep, my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I pray LORD that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer with a large dose of peace and joy and that YOU shine YOUR love through each of us to those who are sad, melancholy and mournful. Prompt each one of us to listen well to those who need to unburden themselves. Give us patience to listen and wisdom to respond or simply listen.
I thank YOU LORD for YOUR Word:
a. “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” [Romans 12: 14-15]
b. “The Contrast of Wisdom and Folly
c. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” [Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 ESV]
I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are mourning for the death of friends and family members. I pray that YOU bless each one with an ability to grieve fully so that they remember the good and bad times without pain, and YOU bless them with joyful memories.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Sunday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day May 24, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of June As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contract Management Agency. It is good to have sometime on the weekend before I start my running around to respond my friend.
Today's theme is “Crying Day!” . Crying releases passion/energy and feelings. It's OK to cry.
The picture depicts my inner thoughts:
