We're just liars

On Breaking: The thing that broke me this week

It happened on Monday. I was driving my son to the park alongside the river. We were listening to a song I’ve heard a hundred times before and I was singing along, seemingly fine, blissful even, and then, all at once, the tears came.

Thinking back on it now, I can tell you why, and where, they came from. But at the time, they came as a surprise. I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t see it coming, but I guess, maybe I should have.
