What was the last thing that made you cry?

1. My wife had a miscarriage on the 32week (7,5 months) of pregnancy, due to a sudden rise in blood pressure, the moment after the ultrasound scan showed no signal of heartbeat my world stopped for a second and everything was silent in my head as I watched my wife's face turn from fear into despair. We said nothing as we walked back into her room, I just hold her as we walked down the hospital silent corridor, she had a lifeless expression on her face, like she couldn't comprehend how that just happened to our daughter. Suddenly her legs gave up and she cried in despair, I was trying to stand strong for her sake, but as I heard her cry, I just lost control, I couldn't bear the see her suffer like that, but I had to. I've laid her in the hospital bed and cried like a child while hugging her belly... At that time, we didn't knew, but she died 2 days before that. Worst part of it at that time?: Get back home and try to ignore an entire room filled with baby furniture, clothes, toys and other baby stuff.

2. Saw something on Amazon my ex would have loved and for a millisecond I was excited before remembering she dumped me and I won't be buying any Christmas gifts for her this year. She was not allowed to celebrate Christmas growing up so I would go all out with it. It immediately became something I looked forward to all year, now I think I might hate Christmas

4. Last night, as I was shopping at the grocery store, I had a very vivid memory from this time last year when I was dating a woman that was very special to me. I'm a single dad with a young teenage daughter, and she knew that we didn't have many "holiday traditions" (unlike her and her five boys) so she came by my house one night with an arm-full of groceries. She'd brought all the components we needed to make "Elf spaghetti" from the film "Elf," and a copy of the DVD. And we made Elf Spaghetti and watched the movie together, and I thought that was going to be our new tradition together. She died in her sleep this past April. And I'm honestly having a lot of difficulty filling the void she left behind, especially as we approach Christmas. And I cried inside Wal-Mart as I remembered that our tradition could be lost for good if I let it. I bought an "Elf" ornament for her last night and hung it on my tree. No one will ever know what she meant to me in the short time we had together.

6. My dad died unexpectedly in September of this year. I am 27 and his only child, so I am the executor of his will. You don't realize how much shit you have to deal with when someone dies. It's overwhelming. Found out last night my 92 year old grandfather (my dad's dad) had a heart attack. He is OK, but goddamn! Also today is the 4th anniversary of my mom's death. I cried myself to sleep last night.

7. I saw a post on the front page of reddit about a guy with a 25 year old mentally handicapped brother who only wanted a blue Tonka truck every Christmas.

11. Laying in my girls arms talking about my depression. It had been bad for about a week and a half. I don't usually cry but telling her how I feel caused the dams to break. It's just painful seeing yourself in the mirror and knowing it's you looking back but not feeling like the person you see. Being around the person you love and trying to do the things you love to do but everything feels like background noise and feeling so hollow and empty.

12. Last night I was laying on my back with my six-month-old daughter on my stomach. When I would laugh, it would shake her and make her laugh, which made me laugh even harder. We both cried in perpetual laughter.

13. Reading u/Poem_for_your_sprog poems. Hit this one: > It takes a special kind of prick - An utter dick indeed - To fool the young and trick the sick, Or hurt a child in need. > You never come to understand The words they choose to say - They hold your trust inside a hand, And throw it all away. > I hope you're strong, and moving on. I hope you're safe and well. And when he's old and cold and gone, I hope he rots in hell.
