the spanish national anthem doesn't even have words.

oh, yes. that looks like — a football. definitely not anything else, particularly a part of the female anatomy. a football. right.

i'm sorry for your loss, but i really don't see how sharing this song can be considered insensitive. i completely understand how the sentiment of this song might trigger your grief, but in my experience as someone who's lost a loved one, there's no way of predicting what will set me off. i've been brought to tears by…
