Mom's, do you cry?

No you are not! If it makes you feel better, my hubby cried when he felt lost without his family around him when he goes on his little vacation (to a music jam festival). He makes sure he gets a hold of me when I am home and be able to be on IM to each other like we did last year. When I get off the computer, I cried, missing him.

As long men have a good reason to cry, let them cry and express their feelings! You go, Mahroni and you are NOT a wimp!

As I have gotten older, I cry more....I used to giggle at my mom crying over silly things...Now, I cry at folgers coffee commercials. Oh well.

When we saw Toy Story 3, my husband and I both cried. I was never a huge crier before kids, but that's out the window now.

I'm with many of you... after I had my son... I became a total crier. Never cried much before him. I also can't bring myself to watch movies or tv shows that have a child in any kind of danger... I never enjoyed those types of shows... but now, no way can I watch them. Oh, and he's 10years old now and I'm not getting any less wimpy

. I'm totally cool with it though... my son has brought me so much joy and love... crying is a side effect I can totally live with.

I have discovered that after having children, your pop-off valve turns on. Total tomboy here! Always have been, probably always will be. I cry now, and at first I was totally steamed over it. I mean, who the heck have I become? Now, I feel so much better after a good cry, well, once the stuffy nose and puffy eyes clear up.

Ditto except it has been a tad longer than 21 years.

I recently (several months ago) ran across footage from 1973...a horserace of all things but one that I attended with my grandfather...one that he sold one of his horses so we could go and watch..it was the Belmont Stakes, the day Secretariat won by 31 lengths and broke the track record. Secretariat was my favorite horse in the world and to a little girl that is important. That trip was my 10th birthday gift from my grandfather. As I was watching the footage, I could feel the energy from that day, I remembered seeing secretariat walk by and slipping under a rope to touch him as he went by, I remembered the crowd and the noise...I remembered when I looked at my Grandfather with tears in my eyes because I knew he was going to win and I clearly remember telling my grandfather that the Creator was riding that horse. Well at 47 years old, I sat watching the footage and crying...The amazing thing about it...The horse ran the race the way he wanted to and because he wanted to run. Scared the crap out of the jockey too. hehehehe

In case you want to imagine the feelings here is that footage and even if you never saw the race or were not there, you can feel it.

Em you are very very normal. Having a child changes us, it has too.
