Soppy things that make you cry soppily

[KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh]

I just tried to explain the end of The Railway Children's emotional hold over me to my husband ('Daddy! My daddy!') but was crying before I could get those three words out.

Same with the end of The House at Pooh Corner. I'm going to make DH read that to DD when she's old enough because I know I won't be able to.

Tell me I'm not alone? And tell me what makes you cry like a child so I can go and research it for myself and enjoy a blub

Oooh I love a military homecoming. We have a few friends in the military, and they have posted a couple of surprise homecomings. I cry so much.

@Likethebattle
My DP is a paramedic and he is always so lovely to the elderly and children especially. He gets upset by these cases.

Agree with the Railway Children.

I also sob through the entire second half of Les Mis, pretty much from On My Own to the end, special shout out to Empty Chairs and Empty Tables, then just as I compose myself by the end of the wedding I’m off again for the ending.

I also started watching After Life with DH and have literally laughed and cried at it.

Oh, and The Book Thief. I read it in November last year and I’m still not over it.

@Moonflower12 they were just a couple of lovely young guys. As they got her up they said ‘aw now we can see your beautiful face!’ Then she told them off for having beards as too many young men do now lol. It wasn’t just that they helped her it was how the treated her, they let her know they were there and needed the code for her key safe as the one they had didn’t work. They talked to her and had a joke. She started to cry and so did I and the paramedic closest said ‘do you want a cuddle?’ and have her a bear hug. They then got her settled with tea and checked her over. It just got me right in the feels.

Baby animals especially when you see them with their proud mummies.
I took my DD to Green Acres farm.. There were little emu chicks so me and DD were cooing and awwwwing at them. Next second the mummy goes over to another chick and points to it with her beak almost as if to say. "Look at my other baby".

When the children at the school I work in sing at end of term performances. Gets me every time. The head always has to reassure them that I’m crying happy tears because the children look alarmed!

@Likethebattle
He always finds the ones where they've not spent a night apart for 50 years and then their spouse doesn't make it, so sad.
He says that he gets so upset when the little old man or lady says' What will I do without them?' So sad.

Aw @Moonflower12 it’s very sad. This lady lost her husband years ago but they’d been together since school. My gran was quite lost after my grandpa passed away. She was a nurse and helped the paramedics to give cpr in the front garden as he died as they lifted him from the house. What do you even say when they ask that?

Anything to do with animals or children forcibly separated from their mums.
