I feel so protective of these men and women. I've seen them hurting (well, mostly they were hurting because I was making them hurt, but that's beside the point) and watched their faces as they've talked about their work.

Step three for me might be telling them how grateful I am for the work they do, if I can manage to do it without crying.
