These days, the above emoji has completely replaced the smiley face ones I used to use a lot.
Most days, I am running on fumes so my brain is not processing as it should. Hence, if you text me anything beyond “how are you?”, I will likely send you this emoji.
Actually, ask me anything by text these days and you will get this emoji.
It works well for me because it lets others know that I don’t really want to talk, especially my current situation. It’s hard to talk to others who have never provided care to someone ill and dying – they just don’t get it and I no longer have patience for the things they say without thinking.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having to care for someone so unwell. My heart goes out to you. I love that your emoji has dark skin, it’s so cute! I want to have the same one on my phone 🙂 xx

Thanks, All I can do is provide comfort and care to my father until the end. And yes, I always use emojis if they fit my phenotype.

Perfect. I like how emoji’s convey what you feel without even having to make the effort to text. Especially useful when people are being annoying!
