What was the last thing you cried at?

[Shortbreadbaby]

Today at the circus I was very emotional watching my niece enjoy the show and clap along. Then as the performers were singing Christmas songs at the end I released that they probably wouldn’t be seeing their family this year as the shows go on till Christmas Day. I just started weeping. Luckily it was fairly dark.
What was the last thing that made you cry?

Friday 6th, the day my mums house sale finally completed.
They were tears of relief, it's taken a year to sell. She's in a care home with dementia and we are no contact as she absolutely hates me, she has just been deemed to have mental capacity but needs to be in the care home for her own safety but was threatening to leave, her house was 2mins away from mine, she can't come home and hound me day and night anymore, I can finally breathe.

Does anybody else manage not to cry about the really big stuff and then cry over something trivial like not being able to open a carrier bag?

about an hour ago when I trod on one of my grandsons tiny lego pieces in bare feet fair brought tears to my eyes

Teenage son being difficult last night

Watched ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with the DCs on Sunday afternoon. That made me cry a couple of times. Also, I saw a brass band on Sunday morning; that always makes me cry (within seconds - it’s a really weird reflex).

Anniecott - that sounds terrible

I did a Books Trust donation and felt sad about all the children who don’t get what my dc get.

Leona Lewis 'One More Sleep'. No idea why. It makes me think of people in the armed forces and their families.

@isseywith4vampirecats oh god I feel your pain, I did that with an upturned plug.

Today when my dd got a school prize.

I cried (quietly) at work when the radio played that song about 'give me a minute to hold my girl'. DD2 is in Oz, very very happy and earning a fortune and I'm going to visit her soon but....sometimes she feels a long way away.

And (also at work, where I suspect they think I have conjunctivitis) when someone was telling me about having to have their dog pts. Had both my old dogs pts over the last couple of years and can't even bear to hear or read anything involving animals dying still. Even though I have a hale and hearty young dog.

Pretty pathetic, compared to what a lot of you have had to cope with. Sending 'onward and upward' thoughts to you all.

I just cried at Friends. The one where Rachel has her baby 😭

@Mrsjayy.. Yes that's the guy..he was lovely.

@ParkheadParadise.. Elizabeth is Missing was brilliant. I have no personal experience of dementia or alzheimer's but i cried buckets. Sorry to hear your mum had this cruel illness

So many times in the last five weeks. A student at school died. It is not just my grief but watching her class mates cope.

@wrongsideofhistorymyarse..

I sat and cried Sunday morning after a hectic Nightshift, moving furniture around and cleaning after one party for the next, I got about 4 customers in a row just being arses, vomit to clean up, other members of staff not even trying to work as a team. Discovered my boots leak when it snowed, and as the buses round here only seem to have heating on in the summer, arrived home (after a 90 minutes wait because of Sunday service) shivering, tired and fed up. I wondered if I'm ever going to enjoy Christmas, not because I work it mostly, but because I'm so sick of the way people treat other people over alcohol, the reaction to not getting any more is so disproportionate. I love my job, but I sat and cried at the thought of facing that again this weekend.

The little boy we were going to adopt moving back to his foster carers

Crying now after seeing my racist family planning their Brexit party and seeing some of their posts about immigrants. They're all so happy that the country is turning their way, and they've won.

I just don't know what to do. I can't take them anymore.

Cut them off Ken. It's not a failure - we don't choose our family.

Tonights episode of supervet, poor little Lexi

Just binge watched After Life on Netflix 😭😭

Elizabeth is missing made me cry but proper sobbing? Ken Loach, Sorry we Missed You. I cried buckets about the desperate state this country is in.

Upright by Tim Minchin. Brilliant tv. I sobbed at the end

Took lots of presents to a local refuge today. Joint collaboration, co-ordinated by me. Refuge were a nightmare to deal with....calls not returned, emails not returned, then person I was dealing with was trying to contact me on someone else's number, and leaving messages.... Very stressful and I was seriously on the verge of finding another refuge/putting it in a foodbank, but would have needed joint consent. Leaving the refuge, met an occupant who was concerned about us slipping on the ice. If you can think about others when you are living in a refuge, then you deserve good things, even as small as a present And I thought, she'll appreciate a present at Christmas, even if the organisation have made it difficult to get it to her. She made it worth it, and reminded me why we bothered.
