| Surprised teen meets One Direction on the Ellen Degeneres Show |
When a teen gets to meet her idols, One Direction, on the Ellen show, I cry.
When someone wins the showcase on The Price is Right, I cry.
When my cheerleaders performed on stage for the first time, I cried.
When my daughter's group stunt won at Nationals for the first time, I cried.
When I went to my first concert at fifteen to see WHAM! I cried.
When I won the blogger trip to Disneyland in LA, I cried.
When I see someone else win a trip of a lifetime, I cry.
When my first book was published, I cried.
When I see another author get their first book published, I cry.
When I watch my son perform with his class for the school assembly, I cry.
When I see a young child yahoo and show complete shock and excitement when opening Christmas gifts, I cry.
When I see a footballer play his last ever game with his home crowd on their feet cheering in gratitude and appreciation, I cry.
When somebody goes out of their way to help someone else's dream come true, I cry.
When a child or parent comes to me and says "thank you for making a difference" I cry.
Why do I cry?
I don't know. I've tried to work it out. I think I cry in pride, in gratitude, in love and in hope.
When dreams come true I cry.
Whether they're my dreams or someone else's.
I just cry.
Damn it!
What makes you cry?
No it's not just you I tend to sob when I see others so overwhelmed! I hope you have a happy weekend x
ReplyDeleteThe school concert brings me to tears - my eldest looked at me and said with that teen attitude "What's wrong with you??"
ReplyDeleteI cry in joy and sadness too, but also in anger and that sometimes just pisses me off even more because then I feel like I'm so weak, especially when I'm so angry trying to reason with someone else and they see me cry!

It's me too - at the most mundane things.
ReplyDeleteI once cried reading my son a book -with a sad bit in it.
The other day I saw a video of the boy opening the chopping board (not in English). He was so grateful to his poor parents - then the shock excitement when he opened the real Christmas gift - a tablet!
The airline surprise doing the rounds this year too. It makes me bawl.
I cry over tv shows and sad pet stories like most people (I think!) but a birth always leaves me sobbing- I have been a birth attendant 4 times now and watched far too many episodes of one born every minute and it never gets old!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! Actually - I'm topsy turvy. I cry at happy things and I cry at sad things. I basically cry all the time! lol ;-) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, Leanne!

I think that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI remember one Christmas we bought our eldest earrings with the promise to get her ears pierced and she burst into tears. It was quite gorgeous :)
I cry at inspirational stuff too. I have the Nancy Tilman book Wherever You Go My Love Will Follow and I still tear up every time I read it to my children.

Lately I have been trying NOT to cry! Seeing a Chinese Herbalist and having acupuncture has released tears over everything and anything.
ReplyDeleteWhen we used to have a TV I would cry with certain ads!
Now days I cry when I read certain things online.
Guess its a female hormonal thing?
