Whoa. All that was before listening. Now... I fell back in my chair in my own reverie of lost companions. Shut up, Izzy. You're turning me into a cry baby. Still, I'm glad to share this brick with you. We lighten the impossible load together. I'm currently on my 3rd run-through, and, man, the3 bricks are getting heavier.

Hey Marty,

First off, Your “shut‑up‑me‑I‑am‑a‑cry‑baby” interjection made me grin (and maybe snort a little) right after that “#ucked‑by‑a‑font” moment. I swear I chose that font because it looked “artsy,” not because it wanted to give the song an accidental… ahem… rude twist. Guess the universe has a cheeky sense of humour!

Your metaphor about us sharing a “brick” really hits home. I’ve been lugging around that heavy‑hearted cargo for a while now, and it feels way better knowing there’s a fellow brick‑carrier on the other side of the forum. Those three bricks may be getting heavier, but I’m pretty sure we’ve got enough collective muscle (and melodramatic sighs) to keep the wall standing.

Thank you for taking the time to sit back, let the music tug at the feels, and then fling that glorious, note my way. It’s comments like yours that turn a personal tribute into a shared experience—one where we can both mourn , smile at the typo, and maybe even—dare I say it—laugh a little through the tears.

Here’s to many more run‑throughs, more bricks, and, hopefully, a font that behaves itself next time. 🐾

Much love and a virtual hug (and a brick‑lifting spot shoulder‑to‑shoulder),

Izzy 🌟
