Here are some of the heartfelt answers you shared with us.
Charlie Hedges - When my dear guy departed for his great recliner in the sky. And I expect to cry again this year when my 15 yo pooch crosses the rainbow bridge.
Vivien Anne Metzger - Tharnicaa's little party to celebrate her 5th birthday, and in freedom - her first-ever out of detention. … Thank goodness for the compassion and mercy of our new government that has allowed a child to experience a 'normal' birthday with her family and be surrounded by people who love, and care about, her.
Happy birthday dear Tharnicaa!
Ruth Fletcher - I cried often during Jubilee celebrations.
Marilyn Reaby - I cried yesterday when I saw a video of my two young granddaughters welcoming their Dad From USA at the airport in Aus who they hadn't seen for 2 and a half years because of covid.
Sharon Voican - When my new granddaughter was born 2 weeks ago.
Janet Lilley - I cry often at sad movies & tv shows, I’m such a sook.
Liz Hardy - I had had a bad day anyway, and I tripped in the garden and the full watering can I was carrying somehow ended up pouring its contents all over me. It was the last straw and I sat on the lawn, soaking wet and crying my eyes out!
Raelene Pedler - Last week I watched the movie Anthony Fisher. I hadn't seen it for years, the scene at the end when he meets his family is very touching, it brought a tear to my eye. Great movie.
Richard Taylor - When a carton of beer rolled over in the back of my ute and one bottle broke.
Susan Hertrick - God...I cry about everything and anything!
