Snow Tears

The February 18, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
What makes you cry?

Oh, me!
Oh, my!
What makes me cry?

I cry because I'm happy.
I cry because I'm sad.
I cry because I'm frustrated.
I cry because I'm mad.

What makes me cry? Under the right circumstances all most anything will make me cry. I can read a poem and it will make me cry. I can look at a rose or a bouquet of flowers and I will cry. If I inhale the aroma of my grandfather tobacco, I will cry. I can make coffee, inhale the scent of the coffee, and I will cry. The main thing that makes me cry are memories of my grandparents or my parents. Lately, anything that brings back memories of my mother will make me cry.

I can walk down the aisle of a supper market, see a food that my mother like and I want to cry. I can watch television, see a show that was my mother's favorite, and I cry. It is the same way with shows that my grandmother or grandfather liked. What makes me cry are the memories and not the object itself. Under the proper circumstances I can be a very emotional person because of the memories that accompany the circumstances.

Thought of the day: “Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.” ― Brian Jacques, Taggerung
