Cried at my wedding, cried at the funeral of my in-laws (both of them), cry sometimes during movies or even songs, etc. Did you cry when Bush was re-elected in 2004? I didn't cry; I huddled in a corner, shivering, fearful for the future of mankind. Well, With the current state of affairs. You should be fearing for your life!

Babycat Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I cried when my mother died - nearly 20 years ago, and at her funeral. I was so devastated that I very nearly jumped into her grave to join her. I also cried when my father in law died recently, and at his cremation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I also cried when my father in law died (this January). It was a military funeral because he spent 20 yrs in the Air Force. When you hear Taps, and see the 9 gun salute, you can't help but break down (well, at least I couldn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 ((Hugs)) to you, treeduck. I used to cry a LOT, even in public, sometimes hysterically. I was a huge embarrassment to anyone I was with, I'm sure. Lately, though, I've been going through some drastic hormonal changes, and one effect has been that I've nearly stopped crying. I cried for about ten seconds at my uncle's memorial service, and to be honest, the last time I can remember before that was in December when my cat Aspen died, and I might have gotten teary over an issue I had with someone here slightly thereafter (but even then, there was much more anger than tears). I like the new me much better, even factoring in all the unwanted changes like losing my hair, gaining weight, etc. At least now I'm not gonna cry about it.

Gun Salutes are always emotional... Thanks, babycat...it was definitely a tough time...and even now there are times when it's tough to reach the stage of acceptance.

Lost In Xanadu Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Watching America's Got Talent, the guy that got hit by an RPG serving in the military, came out there and sang If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks... imagining me in his place, looked over at my wife and I got teared up. Didn't quite cry, but as close as it really gets for me. Same feeling I get thinking about my grandparents or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Earlier today, I was pulling into the parking lot at work; across the lot, a car veered off of the street and slammed into about 5 other parked cars going at least 35mph. When I ran over to the guy's car, it appeared he was still unconscious. In my mind, I was 100% convinced he had died. The impact was incredible, so hard that I felt it in my chest from across the lot. By the time I grabbed his door and pulled it open, he had come to, and crawled out on his own. He was pretty disoriented and sore, but it was quickly apparent that he avoided serious injury. Police and 911 came pretty quickly, and he turned out to be alright, and had passed out behind the wheel for some reason. Nobody was hurt, just a lot of bent up metal. Despite the fact that it all turned out ok, I was so shook up that I snuck off to the bathroom at work and cried pretty hard. I can't really explain why: everything was ok, but that was realistically about the most shook up that I have been in a long time. I can be a fairly emotional guy at times, but this was really different, I was simply so terrified that I couldn't handle it. Funny I see this thread today, feels nice to post about it.
