I honestly can't remember. There's been a lot of events in my life that occurred which would make most people cry.... but I just never did. For example, my grandma died two years ago of lung cancer. She was a big part of my life.. took care of me a lot when I was younger while my parents were at work. She died in my house and I was extremely sad... I felt tears coming and everything, but I just didn't/couldn't cry. I think part of it was because my mom was crying like crazy and I decided to comfort her. I thought that if she saw me not crying, it would help her calm down.

Idk... maybe I just unknowingly conditioned myself not to cry when I was younger..

Last time i really cried was on Feb 1st 2006. My first daughter was born. It wasnt just cause she was my first kid. When my wife was just 12 weeks pregnant we had a sonogram and docs saw something really wrong. We went for a 3D sono and it looked like my daughter (Not knowing it was a girl yet) had 2 heads. Then they checked her heart and told us she only had 1 chamber. Takes 4 to live. We had 4 doctors tell us to abort. We decided to do an ammo test which was taking blood from the cord to see exactly wrong. Came back that she has Turner Syndrome. 99% of Turner Syndrome babies abort themselfs. 50% of self aborted babies are Turner Syndrome. Again we had 4 doctors tell us to abort. My wife and I decided we would let happen what is meant to happen. So the day she was born my wife had a c-section. As soon as doctor pulled her out and she cried i starting sobbing. 9 Days later she had open heart surgery that lasted 16 hours. After surgery doctor came to us and told us to say our good byes. He body was retaining fluid and nothing they could do about it. They had to leave her chest open for 4 days. Now you can only imagine what its like to see your child heart beating out of there chest. Doctor did not leave here side all night and my little girl survived. After 3 months she couldnt get off venalator. My wife and I saw her code 3 times. Finally we went to the doctors and asked if we could put in a trache to help her breathe so we could bring her home. Doctor did so and told us she may never lose the trache. We got her home at 10 months and just 14 months later she had the trache removed. She is a perfectly healthy 7 y/o now and is the biggest pain of all my 4 children but i can never get mad her for longer then 10 sec without giving her a kiss and hug. So basically nothing can make me cry after going through that

My answer has changed to just about a minute ago reading this. Glory to God for this.
Go Cubs!

Dog died about three/four years ago on the vet's table before the vet got in the room. Vet wouldn't have been able to save him though. That was an all day cry session for me. Worst day of my life.

Actually... now I remember. 2 weekends ago I saw this chick at the mall. I asked her out and she said no. Broke my heart and I started crying on the spot. I loved her.

Every now and then I get choked up when I realize my amazing mother will never meet her amazing grandson. She was written off by my older brothers and never had the proper opportunity to be a grandmother to their kids. I was her last hope and she deserved it, but she died two years before he was born due to cancer. Breaks my heart to this day and he's 11 months old.

I actually cry a lot, I wear my emotions on my sleeve. Cry for movies, for misfortunes, for happiness, for unfortunate events.
The last time I cried was actually last night because the Captain of the team I intern for, and someone I've grown very close to and fond of is retiring to go to med school. While I am happy for him and normally wouldn't have cried, this video of him put me over the edge. [video=youtube;8_W4mhdd4aI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_W4mhdd4aI[/video] I refuse to watch it again because this guy is simply one of the coolest gentlemen I've met and it's sad to think I may never see him again.

The final episode of the UK Office is amazing and could be a good tear jerker for a lot of people. Makes everything the American Office did look like shit.

Does it count when one of my eyes weaps uncontrollably due to allergies?

If not, then earlier in the spring my friends had to put their dog down. He was put on some medicine that really fucked him up. The vet said that medicine has some side effects but he had never seen them as bad as in my friends' dog. They took him off the meds just to see what would happen. He got a little better but never fully recovered. All this happened in like two weeks too. One time I saw him he was jumping up and down like he always does when I come over. The next week I saw him, my buddy had to carry him upstairs because he could hardly walk. And the next week I got a text that they were taking him to the vet to put him down.

You should try to cry at least every week to ten days, minimum.

It's just like any other bodily function that serves an expulsive purpose; getting backed up will only make it hurt more in the end.

(slice up some onions if sad movies and/or dead dogs won't do it for you)

My dad died in 2010. I sobbed for months after on different occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. One time, my daughter wanted to watch that Last Song movie with Miley Cyrus where here dad dies. So I watched it, knowing full well what the movie was about. But it got to the part where he died and I lost it. I had to go into my bathroom cause I didn't want my daughter to see me cry so much. It was terrible. Then I was mad at myself for crying during a stupid Miley Cyrus movie.

Don't know exactly when the last time I cried was but it's been a lot more since dad died. I know one time recently was we had a young boy baptized in our church and his dad asked to baptize him. We're really good friends with the family and as soon as he started with the "in the name of the Father..." part he lost it and so did I.
