I just started listening to your podcast after hearing you on Small Town Dicks - loved hearing from a local cop! Always perks my ears. The ending of this snapshot dropped my jaws and broke my heart. This man helped SO many people thru so many bad times but yet, he himself was not immune to relapses. It just shows that we never are completely free of our depression and/or PTSD, and how fragile life in this world is. Hearing you get choked up at the end was enough.... I started crying. My heart hurts for people who think there is no hope. Also, I deeply respect a man who is secure enough to cry, and even more to do so on a public platform such as podcast. Not only is it emotionally healthy, but physically as well. Tears of sadness carry the right chemicals that contribute to that emotion, so when we cry in sadness, we actually release those negative chemicals from our bodies. Thank you for showing us that it's ok for men to cry, to feel, and to not be ok.
