You instantly cry

[thebodylovesspring]

Just listening to Abbas slipping through my fingers'and can't avoid crying much to the kids amusement.

Also for me nannas speech to Barbara in the 'Royal family'when she says she just wished to be with her family and not in a home.

Also Daddy my Daddy in the railway children.

Also opening sequence of up

What's your weak point?

A poem by Eleanor farjeon- mrs Malone- I cry every time

Baby mine scene in dumbo

Many many books

I'm a soft sack all in all

Agree about 'Slipping Through My Fingers' - can't even think about it at the moment as DD is just finishing her A levels.
The bit in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' where the preacher says 'Stand up Miss Scout, your father's passing' - if I teach this book I have to get them to read it for homework/get a student to read it out.
DD singing.

Watching the Olympics and the winners on the podium listening to national anthem.

Dss 18 year old friend who used to often come to ours for tea was killed in Afghanistan 5 years ago.

So the last post and they shall not grow old as we that are left shall grow old just can't tolerate that.

Sorry to have started a sad thread.

"You're my Best Friend" by Queen. It was played at the funeral of a friend's DH who died at a very young age. Still makes me well up over 10 years later.

I said stop it.

I have never watched Dumbo.

When Dobby and Dumbledore die in Harry Potter.
At 'Take Me Home Country Roads' (had it at my Dad's funeral)
At 'The Living Years' by Mike and the Mechanics

In the film Ice Age: right at the end when Manny returns the baby to his father... have seen it dozens of times now and it still turns me into a chest-heaving blubbing wreck!

Christmas carols.the 23 psalm, Jerusalem. (I'm an atheist so wtf). Sings from my child hood, In a little Spanish town, paper doll, that my dad would sing. Memories are made of this which was my DM's favourite song.
My dh is notorious for sobbing, particularly when it involves dd in any play. He sobs at toy story 3, scarlet ribbons many many things.

Dido's Lament.

"ReMEMBER MEEEEEEE!"

Oh GOD. Once I was in a colleague's office and this came on the radio. I had to find an excuse to leave.

Bagpipes!

Blub.

The theme tune to The Golden Girls
Steel Magnolias.
The end of every Rocky movie.

Daddy my Daddy every time.

There was an accident at a local activity centre a while ago. Mum tripped and cut her head. Her young-teen DD saw her across the hall and just ran towards her in a complete state crying "Mummy my Mummy". The look on her face. I'm crying just remembering it. I wouldn't ever want my DD to go through even a few seconds of that. Luckily it looked worse than it was, but it will stick in my mind forever.

The Bridge to Terebithia, book or film. Bastards, I thought it was going to be like C S Lewis.

Cranberries no need to argue
Sinead o'connor nothing compares

Anything that involves relevationa of pregnancy or birth. Everytime. Im useless at watching OBEM.

Chandler and Monicas engagement. Every time.
Also when Rachel gets of the plane. "I got off the plane...."

When one of my kids unexpectedly impresses me. They impress me regular but sometimes its really unexpected and it makes me all teary with pride.

The first Christmas play that they do in reception.

*revelations

Baz Lurhmann's 'Sunscreen' it was played at my son's funeral. It breaks my heart to hear it.

Yes, children's choral singing. Especially "sing a rainbow"

Actually loads of stuff makes me cry. I'm a notorious blubber.

Christmas carols
Poems many and various, especially in rapture by carol Ann Duffy- been there
Certain notes/key changes in songs, abba are the main culprits
Parts of literature like Macduff 'all my pretty ones?'
To be a pilgrim
The Internationale
Frozen, let it go- sorry,this is tragic and embarrassing, but this gets me every single time-if I haven't gone before 'here I stand..' Then I'll go then!

Bagpipes - reminds me of my Gran

City of Angels film - saw it in the days after my son died, didn't read the review before going in - but I hope it is what happens when you die

Any Christmas concerts by kids or strangely church services with hymn singing - not religious at all!!

When my DD just hugs me for no reason, we hug a lot when we greet each other etc, but when I'm cooking or cleaning and she just comes up for a hug it makes me cry (crying typing this, what a bloody wuss)!!

Nimrod and the Minstrel Boy during the Remembrance Sunday services.

Like many of you "My Daddy, my daddy." but also Kate Bush's Cloudbusting and Inigo Montoya in The Princes Bride "I want my father back, you son of a bitch." My Dad died when I was twelve so that explains that.

"Going Home" by Mark Knopfler from the film "Local Hero."

"Come back to me" by Big Country from the film "Restless Natives."

"Silent Night" sung by Welsh Male voice choirs and lots of other things sung by Welsh Male voice choirs.

DD's class singing "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" at the Christmas service.

There's lots of other things, in the privacy of my own home I'm a wet lettuce. I have War Horse on DVD, I haven't dared watch it, there can't be enough tissues in the world.

Etta James - At Last

It was our first dance on our wedding day, but that's not why I cry to it. I cry because genuinely thought that no one could or would ever love me. I still have my doubts, so when I hear it I bawl my eyes out!

Have any of you seen "who will love my children?". Bloody hell, that's unbearable. There's a moving (quite uplifting) scene near the end and I can't even get through describing it without unravelling in a soggy mess
