A friend, who I've known for a while but became closer recently, sent me a message yesterday morning, family issue, bad news, she sent me a vídeo of herself crying, she was sobbing audibly, I don't think she sobbed too loud. What surprised me was that this Is the first time I see her crying and she allowed her tears to roll unchecked down her cheeks, there was a single streak on the outer corner of her cheek and a layer of wetness under her eyes, eventually falling from her chin to I think her lap. The clip lasted a little over two minutes, she cried through the whole clip.

I was a bit disappointed I couldn't be there to wipe her tears and comfort her, the most I could do was write her comforting words.
