Ten Things that Make Me Cry

1. Seeing baby animals killed in wildlife documentaries. I know it's just how nature works sometimes, but dang! Gets me every time.
2. Hearing from one of my kids that they've been struggling with something and haven't told me about it because they didn't want to "bother" me. Doesn't matter how many times I tell them it's never a "bother"; one of my kids in particular is a suffer-in-silence kind of person, and it tears me up.
3. Forgetting what my dad's speaking voice sounded like. I can still hear his singing voice, if I concentrate really hard.
4. Laughing uncontrollably at something my husband or kids have said or done. I live with funny people.
5. Watching my granddaughter sleep.
6. Reading about, hearing about, or witnessing someone do a kind, unselfish thing for someone who really needs it.
7. Throwing up. To say I hate it is a huge understatement. When it happens (rarely, thank goodness), I instantly become five years old again and just want my mommy. 
8. Feeling misunderstood. Also, feeling understood when I've thought nobody would ever understand.
9. Reading or watching a great character die. I get emotionally attached, y'all!
10. Listening to a beautiful piece of music.

How about you? What makes your eyeballs sweat?
