When Was The Last Time You Cried?

I get teary eyed when I listen to Vince Gill sing "Go rest high on that mountain" and The Stamps sing "Sweet, Sweet spirit". I listen to them on You Tube sometimes and reminds me of the old gospel music I was brought up with. I want to have them played at my memorial service when I die. Never get tired of those 2 songs and they touch me every time I hear them.
 

Last night, on Facebook, it was reported that a dog had been thrown out
of a van and abandoned....we have freezing conditions here in the UK...and no one could find it.... I just wept....
 
I honestly can't recall the last time I shed a tear but I suppose I come close every time one of those ASPCA commercials comes on tv.....I have to grab the remote and quickly change the channel to avoid getting a big lump in my throat.

Yep, it's the animals and children that get me too.
Ike, I do the same thing with the remote.
 
I would say almost everyday and it's always sparked by a memory of long ago. This time of year is always worse. Funny how wonderful memories can make you sad. I pick up my Grandmas kitchen bowl or dust my Moms favorite vase and the waterfalls begin. I try to stay in the present and enjoy being with the Grand kids and family I have left but somehow my mind wanders and I'm back at it again. It doesn't help that I have a hubby who hasn't a nostalgic bone in his body,I know he had a good childhood but sometimes I think he was in a coma through it all. He hates reminiscing.
 
I saw a small child in town a few days ago and can’t get his image out of my mind, he had obviously been dressed hurriedly, face unwashed, hair unbrushed, it was cold and wet, he had no hat and was crying (which drew my attention to him) and, worst of all he had cuts on his little face, he was walking with an obese man and woman who looked like they had crawled out of a ditch, I just wanted to pick the child up and bring him home with me but all I could do was go home and cry my eyes out.....

Me too, ASPCA commercials, tv shows, and even some movies have had me tearing up. But last year when we had to put our dog Junior down, is when I'd say it was for me.

Rest in peace old friend.

R.I.P Junior... you beautiful boy may you find playmates over the rainbow bridge..

I know how you feel Hazydavy...we lost 2 last year...One tiny one ( Pablo) hit by a car and instantly killed.....and another (Rodders) PTS... heartbreaking...and heart wrenching :(
 
I'm pretty emotional when it comes to animals being abused or anyone who is suffering in some way, whether in real life or in the movies. I don't really cry, but get teary enough for a tissue. Also thinking about the furkids who I've lost, no matter how many years pass, my heart does not fully heal and the love and sadness is still there. Davey, your Junior looks so sweet, very sorry for your loss. Holly, I can't imagine losing two in one year, my sympathy...hugs.
 
Oh my goodness, Im nearly crying now, looking at all the lovely doggie photos....
Knowing how you all feel, having lost a lovely dog 7 yrs ago....I still have her ashes......love and miss her so much....
hugs for you all x

Aww, it's so hard to lose your pets.

I never used to cry, probably because I was focused on being strong for my children as a single mom. But now I get teary-eyed from time to time. Mostly tears of gratitude...especially when I look back and can put things in perspective and see how God's perfect timing and plan was unfolding for the benefit of myself and others.

But when I pray for my country and third world countries and my children, and others, I sometimes have sad tears. News shows, at the end, often have heartwarming human interest stories about people who make a difference and that brings tears. Even youtube videos touch my heart at times. Music moves me. Sad movies. Old gospel music in churches. I miss my husband even though it's been 30 years. I grow to love and appreciate him more and more over the years. Same with my mother. And I get tears of gratitude for them.

And then there's my dear sweet cuddly soft furry Bella. So thankful for her. She's only 22 months old but we're connected at the hip...or ankle I should say. Like Edith Wharton said, "my dog, a heartbeat at my feet".
 
I left the vet several months ago with my 13 1/2 year old Beagle in tow, after they told me he had liver cancer that had spread and an enlarged heart, but healthy heart, they said. Those days after that I couldn't think, eat, sleep, or care about anything. He is my best friend in the whole world! Well, it's been several months and he is still with me, Thank God!. I believe, at this point it is a benign tumor. They had only done an Ultrasound at that time because a biopsy would be too risky.

So....I live every day now like he is fine and continue to love and treat him like the "king" he is. :dog:
 
Very sorry Debbie, can't imagine what you're going through. :rose:
