Maybe Lana you need to be more understanding by living in hell for a while. Maybe these are the women that have been living in a hell of emptiness, abandoned by family and heartless children who don't call on xmas day let alone come for supper, a string of abusive, lying men.

Maybe these are the women who are dying from the lack of warmth and when one of these men seems to love them, it's a lifeline. Maybe these women believe in the possibility of the impossible and don't see age and believe this man sees their worth for once. Maybe these women cannot face the bleakness of knowing they are alone in this big, cold place and so they suspend disbelief in order to feel alive for a while.
