Sometimes I think the Moth is just around to encourage cathartic, inappropriate public weeping during our commutes. The three Moth stories I'm linking to here all touch on illness or injury and tragedy. The flip side of all the sadness is the courage and perspective the storytellers bring across. If you want to keep it together I suggest you store your heart in a remote, inaccessible place, safely out of reach.
This first story is especially good.
Ed Gavagan: Victim's Impact
Ophira Eisenberg: The Accident
Josh Swiller: What I Lost in Africa
