Non-important things that always make you cry

[pippa]

The movie Up. Ugly cry every time. Multiple times during the movie. I once watched it (knowing my reaction) on an airplane. Totally embarrassing.

I also read the article today about testimony in the boston bombing case by the dad who lost one of his children and the other was severely injured. It's heartbreaking.

Christmas music at church, also.

Christmas music in general makes me cry. No idea why.

[SJ]

Most Google ads. The P&G ads.

Any movie or show where people make fun of someone.

Thinking about people being mean to DD someday.

Thinking about how DD held DH's finger moments after she was born.

Anything even slightly related to lovers going to war, being reunited, dying in war, etc. etc. etc. Those homecoming videos!

Lost kids.

Little Women. Secret Garden. Gone with the Wind.

Any time anyone gives birth in any TV show or movie.

Weddings.

I could go on forever. I'm a crier.

I saw a segment on the news about that testimony and it was too much for me. I was overwhelmed by the idea of having two children in the tragedy and having to decide which one to help.

I've heard this about Up so I have refused to watch it.

Don't do it.  Well, actually do...but alone with a lot of tissues.  

I saw it with DH in 3D for the first time.  I had to keep removing my glasses to wipe the tears.  Funny but not.  

[zeewifeandmama]

Ave Maria - I'm not even Christian/catholic whatever.

Pretty much anything. Happy, sad, mad = tears. Lol

Preschool and Kindergarten graduations. The kids are so full of life, potential, and pride as they walk across the stage.

Inner city graduations get me too, because they made it!

I was so glad DD's preschool grad was outside so I could have my glasses on. I was sobbing. Over preschool. I may need to be medicated for high school

[cjeanette]

Weddings

Parenthood....pretty much every episode

National anthem

Christmas eve service

Baby pictures of my kids

Oh yeah. Up gets me every.single.time.

This thread reminds me when I was a kid if I just put Bambi in the vcr my mom would start tearing up. She didn't even have to watch the movie.

[halfpint]

Parenthood. I'm finally watching the last season, and I've cried every night for a week.

The thing at Christmas Eve church service a lot of churches do, where you start with the Christ candle in a dark sanctuary and slowly light all the little handheld candles while everyone sings silent night? Tears, every time.

Lately our local children's hospital has been airing a radio ad for their success rate with premature births. They walk through this whole dramatic speech about how "one day, he'll call you Mom. One day he'll hold your hand. But not until he no longer fits in the palm of your hand. Right now he's in the fight of his life...a fight he wasn't ready for..." I can't handle it.

[kershnic]

Anyone's NICU progress photo series and videos.

Parenthood.

Anything related to infertility stories - including the beginning of Up.

[mainelyfoolish]

I ugly cried when I ruined dinner tonight. It's been a hell of a week.

[turtlegirl]

Definitely 90% of Parenthood episodes.

[Myrrhine]

Dead Poets Society

[Deleted]

Everything! All the things! Christ, giving birth totally destroyed my ability to hold my shit together.

[missmaddie]

This thread.

This has been an emotional pregnancy, so everything. Lol.

I don't know if it airs in the US, but the Kraft PB commercial with the teddy bears. Shit, there I go.

The movie Wall-E. I don't know what it is about that stupid movie but I bawled in the theater like a baby to the point DH was like "you're scaring the little kids in the theater, I think you need to take a minute and go to the bathroom."

[waterchurch]

Also, Dumbo. "Baby Mine" especially. Sob.
Apparently I am a sucker for disney songs.

[faith194]

Silent Night and the National Anthem I seriously thought I was crazy for crying every single time. I am glad I am not.

[jenstar]

The moment in One Born Every Minute or Midwives where the baby finally comes out and they meet it for the first time. It just always makes me think of that moment with my own kid and how wonderful it was to finally have him out in my arms

And the Shawshank Redemption!

[loreleigilmore]

The song "I was there to hear your borning cry". It was played at my dear pastor's funeral which occurred when I was 3 m pregnant with my first child. Plus our new church uses it for our baptism song. I cry every single time. Ugh.

Is one born every minute still on? I loved that show.

[hilwithonelary]

This thread made me tear up more than once.

The scene in Kung Fu Panda 2 where we see Po's parents save him from the peacock/wolves. I cry every time his mom puts him in that crate and sacrifices herself for him.

Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." They played it at the funeral of a high school classmate who died in Iraq. I can't listen without bursting into tears now. Ugh. I can see his grandpa walking up to salute his casket just thinking about it. And now I'm full on crying.

[vanillacourage]

Everything, lol.

When Santa appears at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade

The national anthem at a baseball game

[SallySparrow]

Anytime I'm in a delivery at work and the dad cries when he sees the new baby.

When our NICU grads go home.

That damn Budweiser commercial from the 2013 superbowl. This one: HD Clydesdales 2013 Budweiser Super Bowl Ad — Ext…: youtu.be/tTbLBL2P6YA

The song in that commercial also gets me.

And, randomly, some Taylor Swift song about growing up that I can't remember the name of.

[turtletop90]

I'm not a Disney fanatic or anything, but the theme song that plays before the movies (that shows the castle) makes me emotional for some reason. It's so weird. I think it reminds me of being a kid or something.

ETA: I don't full on cry though. lol. Just feelings.

[catsarecute]

The Google ad where the dad and daughter are video chatting while she is at college and they say how much they wish her mom would have been there. TEARS.

OMG yes!!  I forgot about that one.  @this request for link:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1sT7QV8nfU
Get some tissues.  I jut cried watching it finding the link.  

Also, apparently I cannot even talk about Up without crying.  I tried to tell DH about this and have cried every time.  He's making fun of me.  

[Saudade]

That AT&T commercial with the lost dog, Sarah, that the little girl tries to find. Seriously makes me ugly cry. Even just writing this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73qF3AvLT8

Patriotic/religious things, even though I'm not particularly patriotic and I'm an atheist.

ASPCA commercials.

A commercial from Australia about gay marriage equality. I'm fine until they show the mom dying and then it's all downhill from there until I'm a blubbering mess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TBd-UCwVAY

The first and last are the only two on the list that #zoloft won't touch. I guess I'm not dead afterall.

The dads always get me!! Gah!
