Tbh, it took me multiple sessions to read the article in full and yea, I cried at a couple of points.

But hey, how else do you get across the severity of such an epidemic?

    “I need to hear you are alright.”

My mom told me this week she was glad to hear my voice when I called to check in. But that was after a well planned hiking trip where she knew my plan in advance and had GPS tracking of my location. Up to this point I didn't think this article would make me cry, but wow. While our lives took very different paths, the concerns of our loved ones are very similar.
