 
My electrical toothbrush has seen all of it.

I did my finest to carry it collectively in entrance of my sons—more often than not, anyway. However the masks typically cracked after I met my very own gaze. Deep sobs set to the light hum of my sonic. Life was simply that overwhelming—with medical points, a cherished one’s shock prognosis, and numerous different challenges too quite a few to checklist.
Then sooner or later, after months of carrying extra emotional weight than I had in a long time, I made a decision to begin in search of little methods to make myself smile once more. And that toothbrush turned a microphone.
First it was dramatic, cathartic songs like Repair You by Coldplay.
Then extra hopeful ones, like Hey Jude—tears turning to chuckles with “Jude Jude Judy Judy Judy Judy!”
Finally, fully ridiculous ones, like Bohemian Rhapsody, full with head banging.
And immediately life began feeling just a little lighter. I nonetheless had issues. I nonetheless lacked options. However these laughs between the tears obtained longer and extra real with each small second of levity.
