that spark when ...

… you’re having a challenging day — I mean, one of those crazy challenging days when folks say unkind things, or people are coughing all around you on the airplane and you’re the only one wearing a mask, or the layover is a lot shorter than you thought which means that you’re not going to be able to grab a bite to eat, or you have a headache, or or or — and someone grabs a bunch of grocery-store tulips for you, in the hope that you remember that you are loved and not alone.

That.
