OK, I cry at funerals for the person who has died. . .
But I REALLY lose it when I see all the people who have come to pay their respects. I mean, I get really touched and begin SOBBING when I see everyone and think "Wow, look at all these people who cared enough to take time out of there day and be here". My husband's sister died a year ago before we were married. I didn't really KNOW her, wasn't close by any means, and her death was somewhat of a blessing as well (the end of lots of heartache and suffering for the whole family, etc.) So, I didn't really cry about her death. But I just began WEEPING when everyone lined up to take communion during her funeral service (Episcopalian). It just touched me that all of those people came because they were friends of the family, not necessarily her.
Surprisingly, during high school, it was hard to get me to cry. Never cried during sappy movies, etc. Sometime my senior year, I saw a Kleenex commercial and it made me cry. I have no idea why, or what changed. I do know that I am now a better person because I'm not so "stiff and guarded"
