When was the last time you cried and why? (1 Viewer)

[Zow]

When my foster son went back to his biological mother. 

Actually hadn't cried since.  Got super super close when I came home from work last week and my wife and daughter were watching his favorite movie for the first time since the day he left. That got me really close. Heck, I'm getting pretty close just typing about it.

I find crying shameful. If I’m in danger, I remove myself from the situation and gather my feelings. I couldn’t help it when my grandfather died in 1994.

i realize I may have emotional maturity issues.

I cry often, and admit it, and have no problem admitting it. 

Last time I cried was listening to At The Drive-In recently. Sort of weird, but a band from El Paso, TX, that did what they wanted moved me to tears. I generally cry about music that moves me so much that I don't know what to do.

As for a life event, probably my mom dying three years ago.   But I cry  (or at least tear up) every week watching that damn This Is Us show.  

I tear up during that show on most weeks too.

Today when I saw the replay of Marquise Goodwin's emotional touchdown, and learning the reason was because of his newborn baby boy that he and his wife lost early that morning due to complications in the pregnancy. Goodwin had to have had such a heavy heart yesterday.

I cried yesterday when my mom, who is dying of small vessel dementia at a relatively young age and has recently taken a significant turn for the worse, asked me to read to her one of my daughter’s college letters of recommendation. Partly because the letter absolutely described my daughter in a perfect way and mostly because I know that my mom won’t be around to see what my daughter is going to accomplish.

This was when I last cried.  God bless, GB.

Yesterday afternoon. My mom was dropping me off from the hockey game we went to together (her and I have season tickets for the Peterborough Petes). As she was getting ready to drop me off, she told me she had been missing my dad a lot lately. He's been gone almost nine years now, so I asked if it was anything in particular that was making her sad about it now.  I guess she had come across an old homemade birthday or anniversary card he had made for her. Talking about it made her cry again and the combination of seeing her upset about it and thinking about my dad got me.

Well I had 3 pieces of frozen cod cooked in the oven tonight and microwaveable Brussels sprouts in a butter sauce. The fish was cold by the time I ate it. My 5 year old kept saying he was angry and wanted me to call mom, who was out to dinner with jacks mom. He was pounding his fists on his pottery barn kids Spider-Man quilt that my wife bought. My 3 year old threw up chunks of noodles and apple sauce with cinnamon on her pillow and laid in it. So I ate half a bag of jalepeno Doritos and a big ### bowl of Aldene's organic chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. I didn't actually cry on the outside.

I'll allow it.

Gotta update my answer. My mom died unexpectedly tonight.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. 

ha...just deleted but thank you. So crazy when it's sudden. My mind is all over the place.

 

[popeye]

As I get older, I find I become emotional much more often.  Maybe it's a normal collection of life experience, losses that we all encounter.  I'll cry when I'm overjoyed or when I recall the loss of loved ones.  I think I used to insulate myself from a lot news because deep down when I think about the #### we see and hear about each day, I couldn't take it.   Maybe now I'm embracing things like that as an opportunity to learn, seek change and improve myself or others.  I know that a young popeye viewing crying as weak.  Now nothing to me seems more natural or strong.

My sincerest sympathy, jamny. There is no deeper bond.

Halloween when I found out my good friend died. And again three days later when his wife asked me to help organize a meal at his memorial. The guy was a scion of food here and she could've gone to anyone, but she came to me. #Honored

Thanks man. Just landed in Dallas to make arrangements with my brother who I haven't spoken to in over 5 years. Should be interesting.

Yes, a funeral brought my Irish clan together in Boston last wk and the drama can get pretty steep. GL sorting things out.

Yesterday.  Dad told me he's got "butt cancer" (colorectal cancer).  It's only stage one, which being in the insurance industry I know can be fairly easily treated, and done so fairly non-invasively, but it's still very scary.  He's pretty shaken up about it - he lost his brother (my uncle) about two years ago to a long fight with cancer (a totally different type), and his cousin likely only has a month or so to live from a battle with yet a totally different type of cancer.  Cancer sucks.
