to well up at this (plus your own welling up confessions please)

[hatwoman]

I'm taking some Brownies to an old people's home to sing some carols and Christmas songs. dds and I have just been practising Winter Wonderland. for those of you not intimately acquainted with Winter Wonderland it's really quite a gorgeous 1930s song, with lovely instrumentals, about a young couple in love, gallivanting (innocently, of course) in the snow and then day dreaming about their future by the fire. and yep, I'm struggling to get through it...just thinking of my lovely dds and the other lovely Brownies singing and the lovely old people reminiscing...

[VinegarTits]

How clean is your house and 60 minute makeover make me well up

[ninedragons]

Old soldiers. And, I am very ashamed to admit, the Qantas advert with the singing children on Westminster Bridge.

[bronze]

Lula reading your post made me cry. Wires always does that to me.

[completelyabsolutely]

I cry at the drop of a hat but am even worse since having dd. I think the most random one that gets me is the goodnight song on CBeebies, it's the line that goes -

'we've had such a lovely day, tommorrow's just a dream away'

Oh and Black Beauty where Ginger dies in the street

[hatwoman]

"everyone is waiting to be reacquainted with loved ones" oh goodness. airports and eager families/children/lovers/friends. it's a wonder I don't break down every time.

[completelyabsolutely]

Lula - don't even mention Wires! Dd spent her first couple of nights in SCBU and that line makes me and DH sob.

Although - looking at her now, you would never know

[hatwoman]

I cried at Flawless - I was watching it on an aeroplane and the air hostess came and gave me a box of tissues. now that really set me off.

[Lizzylou]

Lula, that made me cry, I used to love nighttime feeding a snuggly baby. Enjoy.

I cried when each DS outgrew babygros.

I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas on Saturday night and almost had to be medicated to calm down, I don't think I have ever cried so much at anything.

I was always quite soft, but since having my boys I cry all the time.

Beaches/Terms of Endearment etc, and gosh yes, Ghost! Goodness, every time.

[fernie3]

When I was pregnant last time I used to cry at the pampers (? i think) advert where they sing happy birthday and theres all thpse newborns.. I used to be always thinking of meeting my baby and well up in fact i feel a bit teary now just thinking about it

[WenisLicker]

That Pampers ad gets me every time!

I was 'well ard' before I had my DC, now I well up at anything even remotely sad or remotely nice.

[Dragonfly73]

The scene in Magnolia where Jason Robards is dying and Tom Cruise is sitting by his bed and telling him how much he hates him for abandoning him as a child and how much he hopes dying hurts and how much he loves his daddy and asks him not to die, to not leave him again. Makes me sob just remembering it. IMNSHO it is the only time Tom Cruise has ever actually deserved any acting kudos.

Puff the Magic Dragon makes me sob hysterically. Always has. Just the thought of poor Puff endless waiting for Jackie to come back, but he never will...

Watching the ANZAC day parade when i am home in Oz. The old men as they are driven around, chest full of medals and struggling to make it to each years parade but they do, so their mates who didnt make it home are not forgotten.

The scene in Titanic when the ship is going down and the old couple (Ira and Isador Strauss) are spooning on the bed as the water rushes into their room.

The song - You are my sunshine.

Those Cancer ad's where the husband finds the wife's brush on the bed with her hair in it, with Eva Cassidy singing in the background - MAJOR SOBBING!

good lord, from the look of this list i am a complete baby. I cant even use pregnancy as an excuse. I was sobbing at all of these things before i ever got pregnant!

[kando]

Every time I hear that Luther Vandross song "Dance with my Father" (don't know if that's the song title though!) I well up. Highly embarrassing as I'm usually driving at the time. And also listening to The Last Post.

[WenisLicker]

that book that goes "something, something, my baby you'll be" Forgotten the words, that makes me cry.

[shabbapinkfrog]

Is this the one you mean?

[WenisLicker]

That's the one.

[pippa251]

the film UP when the old man and woman can't concieve etc

the lion king

rspca adverts

that itv programme on prem babies the other night

[RipMacWinkle]

Oh God - loads of these!!

In particular though, 2 little boys had me blubbing a couple of weeks back.

And that song, "Those were the days my friend" - not sure why but it gets me every time.

Extreme makeover type shows.

Went to the Edinburgh Tattoo this year, blubbed through a huge chunk including "Abide with me" and the Lone Piper. DH was calling me a wuss.

[MrFibble]

The Railway Children, "Daddy! My Daddy!"

Up - I sobbed all the way through.

Puff the Magic Dragon.

Away in a Manger.

Nights of Love from the Tales of Hoffman, Orff.

Dido's Lament, Purcell.

Photos of my childhood.

Shit. Am welling up now even thinking of these things.

[hottiebottie]

Just remembered two more - the last chapter of Winnie the Pooh (or was it the House at Pooh Corner?) when Christopher Robin is gently explaining to his furry friend that he won't be around for him so much as he has to go to school. Guaranteed to as I did when reading it to DD1 as she lay blissfully asleep in her cot many years ago!

Also, a book called Sophie and the New Baby by Catherine and Laurence Anholt, which I used to read to DD2 when pg with DS. It's a super book intended to prepare small children for the arrival of a younger sibling, and handles the excitement of anticipation and the inevitable jealousy when the new baby arrives. Being pg at the time I waseven more than usual when reading it to her!

[cocolepew]

Everything and I haven't been able to use pregnancy as an excuse for 8 years. I'm now blaming the menopause.

The end of the very old film The Imitation Of Life with Lana Turner. The girl in it is light skinned black and pretends she's white and disowns her mum.

At the end is the mums funeral, Mahalia Jackson is singing at it and the daughter breaks from the crowd and runs screaming after the coffin. "Mama, Mama I'm sorry Mama!" I howl.

[shockers]

Puff The Magic Dragon for me too... "a dragon lives for ever, but not so little boys"

Away in a Manger " How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given"

The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde.

A Janet Jackson song that my sister once said she would like at her funeral ( years ago and she's probably forgotten but I howl like a baby when it comes on the radio)Something about your star shining down on me.

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo... had to abandon reading it to DS as my sobbing upset him.

Oh... and the story of Gelert the dog... little girl in my class as I was reading it aloud. " Hey,look... Mrs Shockers is crying"

[Lizzylou]

Coco, yes! I remember that film, it is so sad. Now that makes feel all weepy and mostalgic, reminds me of when I used to snuggle up and watch old films with my Mom on a Saturday afternoon.

[cocolepew]

I watched it a few years ago. Poor Dd was very distressed by it

[Poledra]

Sorry for making you cry with my earlier post, shockers

[BratleyBansBaubles]

Watching 'Passing of a Generation' on bbc1 now, blubbing into my cuppa!
Have only caught the last 10minutes and thats still enough time to get me crying!

The words 'Our Glorious and Immortal Dead' just set me off!
