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 โ€œshutโ€‘upโ€‘meโ€‘Iโ€‘amโ€‘aโ€‘cryโ€‘babyโ€ interjection made me grin (and maybe snort a little) right after that โ€œ#uckedโ€‘byโ€‘aโ€‘fontโ€ moment.โ€ฏI swear I chose that font because it looked โ€œartsy,โ€ not because it wanted to give the song an accidentalโ€ฆ ahemโ€ฆ rude twist. Guess the universe has a cheeky sense of humour!

Your metaphor about us sharing a โ€œbrickโ€ really hits home. Iโ€™ve been lugging around that heavyโ€‘hearted cargo for a while now, and it feels way better knowing thereโ€™s a fellow brickโ€‘carrier on the other side of the forum. Those three bricks may be getting heavier, but Iโ€™m pretty sure weโ€™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. Itโ€™s comments like yours that turn a personal tribute into a shared experienceโ€”one where we can both mourn , smile at the typo, and maybe evenโ€”dare I say itโ€”laugh a little through the tears.

Hereโ€™s to many more runโ€‘throughs, more bricks, and, hopefully, a font that behaves itself next time. ๐Ÿพ

Much love and a virtual hug (and a brickโ€‘lifting spot shoulderโ€‘toโ€‘shoulder),

Izzy ๐ŸŒŸ
