I am afraid I will start sobbing and be unable to stop.<br /><br />Regarding Sharon's comment about Marley and Me... I was reading the book during a flight and when I got to the end I began to sob. On the plane. I was travelling alone. It was the Ugly Cry as Oprah would describe it. Interesting to cry on a plane. My fellow passengers did not react at all.Ina in Alaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07163454431322742148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-61186300424711702372011-12-21T14:21:50.286+00:002011-12-21T14:21:50.286+00:00Agreed, John.
