OT: MGoFeelingsball - Things that make you cry
Since there's nothing going on today I think is an original idea for an OT thread.
I've never been much of a crier, even as a kid. I can count on my hands the number of times I've shed tears as an adult, and when it has happened no one saw it. Not my wife or my kids.
So imagine my 16 year old daughter's surprise when she looked at the seat next to her in Hill Auditorium and saw her dad sobbing like a 3 year old that was just punched in the face and then told Santa wasn't real. She has never once seen me cry and I freaked her the fuck out by doing it.
So there it is. Handel's Messiah makes me cry like a little bitch.
What about you? A certain scene in a movie? A dog food commercial? Finding out that you were adopted? What makes MGoBloggers shed some tears?
Funny things happen when people you love die. I saw a cloud the other day that for some reason, out of no where, made me think of my mother who died a few years ago. Balled as I drove down the road.
Life can be funny like that.
Philadelphia! Every damn time......... I am as far from gay as a male can be. I can't stand the thought of injustice prevailing over minorities who are in no way capable of financing their plight. Or employers without empathy for their employees in there time of need. Greed being the main reason employers don't safegaurd employees who have made this same company financially secure through their selfless hard work and inginuity. Give me Liberty or give me a passport.

Nuclear emotion bomb.
* My daughter is from China. The first couple weeks she couldn't look at me without crying. She would sit and rock and sing a little song to herself at 1. It broke my heart. On the flight home, she eyed me for awhile. Then, took a cheerio out of her bowl and handed it to me. I'd passed muster.
* My son is from Korea. A) He wants to learn Korean but so far I've not been able to find any where to teach him. B) When we took him away from his foster mom at the agency I balled.
Those ladies will foster up like 20 orphan kids in their life time. I can't even come close to imagining what that must be like.
* Putting my pets down when its time.
but we discovered he has a unilateral bone cyst in his arm, which bars him from contact sports.
Currently he's in hip hop dance class, which he likes.
But if we can get the cyst closed in I'd love to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
If Handel's Messiah doesn't make you cry, you may not have a soul.

Reading the Gettysburg Address carved on the wall at the Lincoln Memorial in DC.
I tear up every time in the scene where Jonny Cash sings folsom prison blues for the first time in front of Sam Phillips in Sun records from the the movie Walk the Line.
Also I cried after seeing 12 Years a Slave in the theater. I had to walk quickly and go get a drink at a bar with my friend I could hardly take it.
Seeing my MGo points at 0 was a sad fuckin day
Edit: Writing $5K in tax checks this year makes me ball like a baby

Lonesome Dove when Augustas McCrae dies with his best friend Call at his bedside.
Gets me everytime.
Also...for some reason, the Roger Whittaker song (with video) of New Day in the Morning.
Makes me cry....with laughter!
