The actual ending to that is "...the tough get going." But I have to tell you that I don't really feel like that's an appropriate sentiment. More like this: "When the going gets tough, the women take over." Well, my friends, the going has gotten tough, and this woman finally took over. I hope it all turns out for the best.
Everyone should go watch "Steel Magnolias". That is a poignant gender commentary and explains exactly how I'm feeling at this moment.
