When was the last time you cried?

I regularly listen to TAL and The Moth so pretty much every week.
Sad parts in movies get me choked up a lot but my last real cry was the morning of December 12th. I woke up that day. That means I've lived longer than my older brother who died 6 years ago.
Sorry to hear that Doobs.
I get verklempt often watching movies or TV shows, but don’t really cry. The last time I really cried was this past spring, I’m not really comfortable sharing why, but there were lots of tears shed.
I'm not. I hope to live a LOT longer than him. Lol
But yeah, I know what you mean. Thank you. It was a different kind of day.
My dog died a month ago so a lot then. It still mists me up a couple times a day.
My brother died of a drug overdose in 2017 at age 41. He was deeply disturbed and I didn't talk to him often for about 10 years prior.
He wrote me a letter and gave it to my Mom (no pics) a few months before he died. The day after he died, she gave me the letter. I opened the letter in my parent's kitchen and my Mom saw his handwriting and started crying.
I left my parent's house and read the letter in my car and in it he apologized for all the pain and suffering he had caused the family and how he always felt guilty about it. It felt like he was speaking to me from beyond the grave.
I started crying on the way home driving alone after reading it.

Maybe 8 years ago over some health related stuff.
But then I felt fantastic afterwards. My mood was great and my mind was so agile and lively. Very cathartic. Anyone else like this?

Last good, not misty eyed one, my brother texted me on Father’s Day and told me our dad would be proud of me. We aren’t an overly emotional family.
Coffee and a cry.

Thanks to all the brahs here who knows that dogs have souls. I will meet my friend in heaven I hope.
I've been there. I had a collie that looked just like Lassie growing up.
Sorry for your loss.
bawling, it’s been several years….probably when Mrs QC got back home from a rough surgery
misty eyed, just this morning at church giving thanks to god

The no pic had a pretty serious health scare requiring emergency surgery last month. All is well now, but it was scary as shit at the time. When they gave us good news I broke down like a little baby…the relief was so profound I couldn’t keep it in.
Christmas morning before going out to my parents. Knowing this was the first Christmas my sister wouldn’t be sitting in her normal spot when we walked in the door. She only came back for thanksgiving and Christmas usually. Saw her a lot during the summer up in Boji where she lived.
I honestly don’t know.
I did 6 years ago at my wife’s grandmother’s wake.
It was at the end and it was pretty much just close family left.
My daughter randomly started to play the piano and my father in law started to sing.
I had to get up and leave the room. When I got around the corner I lost it.
Ask anyone that knew her, she was the most amazing person in the world.

When my dogs crossed the “rainbow bridge”. Super emotional.
But for people? My nephew passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly in April and it was devastating to my family. My heart broke for my brother (his Dad) especially.

Not sure how long it has been. But I haven’t been able to cry since my facelift, so it’s been at least a couple of years.
Today about 6pm. The Brownies offense makes UIowa’s look like a fine tuned machine. Who knew “pathetic” was spelled C-l-e-v-e-l-a-n-d B-r-o-w-n-s….
My God, what a waste of football talent!

Last month when my mom passed.
Before then in October when my sister passed
Before then in Sept when my best friend since kindergarten passed
Horrible fall season for me and family.

Best of luck, Hawk. Definitely a bad run…but He never gives you a load you can’t handle. Hang in there.
This morning. I’ve cried more in the last 4 months than in the last 40 years. Dying family will do that.
I always admit I am the emotion coach on our staff (the highs and the lows) but
when seniors (and their families) who you have developed a relationship with for 6+ years walk off the field for the last time it ALWAYS gets me. Probably doesn't help that I coach girls and they are already bawling. Every year has a few stories but this year there are two particular ones that will hit hard. One has almost single handedly helped progress our program to new heights and has been an amazing leader in our school since day one. The other has told me several times I'm "about her real dad" as he isn't in the picture much. She had a brutal injury her soph year and wasn't sure if she would ever be back to playing.
I'm lucky that I have worked with a ton of great kids.

In July, We had to put our dog down at 5 years old. That was a tough deal.
About a 2 weeks ago my dog was sick again and didn't want to get up for anything. He usually lays down a lot due to age but he will get up to great someone who just walked into the room or walk over when he wants attention. But he just wasn't doing that.
I cried because we were worried we would have to put him down. (He's 14 so we know it's coming soon). Vet gave us steroids which he has been taking but he recovered pretty quickly. We suspect he might have had COVID or something because the rest of the family got sick right after.

This summer when my Mom passed.
Field of Dreams “wanna have a catch” can still get me ever since my Dad passed.

A few years ago when we had to put our dog down.
Last good cry was after I had to put our family dog down, during COVID, while the kids were at school. Just waiting for the pin to drop when they got home was a nightmare.
I have found though, as I've gotten older, that I tear up at the silliest of things, though they probably aren't silly. My oldest daughter singing her first solo in a choir concert, seeing the kids in church during their Christmas program, hell, I teared up last year at a 4th grade girls basketball tournament that my girls won, just the excitement on their faces was enough to start the emotions.
We aren't an emotional family, my wife's side is the exact opposite. Maybe they're wearing off on me..

1999,.. Father passed away in January and mother in June,.. I don't cry much, wife says I'm weird,... She's probably right.
when my wife almost died giving birth to our second a few months ago. Rushed her away right after and had no clue if I would see her again.
