Waterworks

I'm not really a crier, but there are a few things that I just can't handle. Taps, for one. I don't have to know the person, the circumstances of their death... anything. Just hearing Taps makes me well up. I think it's probably because it was when they played Taps that I realized my Grandfather was really gone.

The 21-gun salute has a similar effect. Stories of selflessness can get to me. Watching my children sleep does it sometimes.

And the movie Field of Dreams.

What about you?

What makes me cry HA! I am a middle aged woman whom Mother Nature doesn't visit anymore and I don't take any hormone pills. It would be easier to list the things that don't make me cry!

amazing grace done on bagpipes. my brother was given a full military funeral at jefferson barracks and as the service was ending, a bagpiper came up from behind and played it with such emotion that i can't even listen to the song anymore; done on bagpipes, i'm a big hunk of goo.

Certain hymns will cause me to cry. I say "certain" ones because I never know which ones are going to get to me or when until I hear them. It's not so much sad tears but just memories.
