I cry a lot. This is hard to answer.

My grandmother's funeral was super hard for me, I didn't like having to be paraded through the funeral home and when it was over I grabbed my son so fast and walked out. Skipped the line of condolences and all. I'm really good at just shoving emotions down and bottling them up.

I tear up plenty, particularly anything involving boys and their dads. Hell two nights ago reading love you forever to my son I thought I might lose it. I got tearful when my golden died last year.

But I haven't wept in as long as I can remember. And I'm not that tough, I have expected to plenty of times but it's just never happened.

Last Spring, had a co-worker that I have known for over 20 years pass away. He battled cancer for the last few years but was one tough guy that just kept coming into work. Over time he basically dwindled down to a former shell of himself. The day of his funeral I was working on something in my garage and listening to Whiskey Meyers. The song Broken Window serenade came on and the lyrics about watching you waste away struck a chord and I just lost it.

Bad: A good friend of mine died a couple months ago right after New Year's

Good: Astros winning the World Series in November

Last grandparent, Grandma passed away a couple years ago, right before covid. But glad she didn't have to go through being locked down in a nursing home because of the covid restrictions. Would have been terrible.

Daddy passed Jan 2022. Mom just 4 weeks ago. I've let loose a couple of times. Just a strange feeling others have felt here. No parents or grandparents left.

Good Friday service at church a few years ago.

It just hit me differently what we did as a human race to the son of God. I think I sat in the pew for 20 minutes after the service ended just emotionally shaken.

When I was released from the hospital following two open heart surgeries in 2016. The pent up emotions of the last 31 days in the hospital hit me a few minutes after we pulled away from the hospital. I won’t lie, I broke down and sobbed like a baby. It was one of the happiest moments of my life.

When the beloved dog of my childhood died when I was 19.

With my parents, both died of late stage cancer so their passings, while sad, was a mixed blessing.

Several months ago when my gf broke up with me. Was a realization of many things for myself when this happened and I just lost it. Before that it had probably been several years. Emotions have always been a tough thing for me.

When I cleaned out my uncle’s house after he passed away two years ago. Throwing away the remnants of his life got to be too much to handle and I lost it.

Been awhile. My Dad died and about 6 months later I was fishing solo listening to some tunes and “I Believe” by Brooks and Dunn come on. Broke me up in a bad way and broke a kind of depression I had been struggling with. Cried a bit for my Mom but losing Pops had better prepared me for that

I lost a child. Lots of things remind me of him and any of them can send me down a dark and tearful path. Lately I worry about his mother (my wife) a lot and that leads me to thinking of our son we lost. So short answer, at minimum once a month but once a week during rough times and anniversaries.
