As a man, do you cry?

This topic is interseting to me. It's wierd for me. I'm in my 50s, lost all of my grandparents, plenty of aunts and uncles. But at all of these funerals I never "lost it" like many of my people did. Sad, for sure. Just no true tears.

Now plenty of movies have "choked me up". You can't watch Old Yeller and not get choked up. But I never really cry.

I've had younger friends die that got me, but still not that crying like I saw other people go through.

Finally though, when my dad died it was a little different for me. He had brain cancer and we knew it was coming. So not a sudden thing. I went and picked out the casket, helped my mom with the banking stuff, etc. Did the wake, the funeral, went back to her house, etc. And I never cried through that whole process. A week later I was watching a college football game and something came up in the game that would normally prompt me tto call my dad. I grabbed my phone to call him and in that instant for some reason it hit me and I cried harder than I've cried in my life.

I know, sad topic. Sorry OT.
