What Makes You Puddle Up?

[TonyB06]

When soldiers come home and "surprise" their family members at sporting, or other public events.

Usually, it's the soldier's child who turns around to find their previously-overseas parent right there with open arms.

...that right there is good stuff.

This is what I came to say. OMG I lose it every time!

Similarly, when soldiers have their first reunion with the dogs. Like this. (ANNNDDD I'm crying at my desk). I think it's something to do with the fact that animals don't understand why you're gone...you're just gone. And now I'm crying thinking about the fact that we're gonna have to board kitty for 2 weeks when we go back home.

Disney Movies are another one for me. There's at least one part in pretty much all of them that will make me bawl.

For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk_9T482g
And: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWZNZjSJco0 I was an absolute WRECK in the theatre.

Omigosh, good call on Michael W. Smith's Friends! Also, Ray Boltz's Thank You does the same thing to me.

Also, pet rescue videos, especial Eldad Haggar's/Hope For Paws. These two are my favorites:

Sky and Apollo (Check out their Facebook page! They are the ultimate feel good story!)

Fiona This video gained her the 2012 Rescue of the Year (I think, I can never quit crying long enough to see for sure!)

You are a bad bad person! This opens the floodgates. I can't. I just can't.

Reading about people losing animals, even if the animal has lived a long and happy life. It just makes me lose my marbles.

Those Sarah Mclaughlin ASPCA commercials...no. Just. no.

I can't think about the family that formerly owned my dog leaving him in the high kill shelter he was rescued from. I'm just envisioning him going in to the place and thinking it was great and exciting...and being left in a cage and seeing his humans walk away. I just imagine him crying and being so sad and alone (and now I'm crying and he doesn't understand)


EDIT: more crying::

In November, when I landed in Glasgow...I cried. As soon as I got off the plane and stepped outside into the rain, I lost it. Its my home, more than any place I have lived. There's a certain light quality, a certain moisture to the air, a crispness...it's like an old friend, and the friends I made there are the best and most steadfast I've ever had, and I miss them like I'd miss a part of my body. And I'm crying again.
...don't judge me.

I am currently crying at the drop of a hat, so all of the above.

Crying now, actually and wondering why I clicked on this thread.

ETA: the movie Bambi
