Q: When was the last time you cried?
The last time I cried was 3 days ago when I was seeing my husband off in the airport. I barely cry but this time I could not help myself as we've never been apart since we are together.
11 years 6 weeks ago in Family & Kids - China
After watching the light go out in the eyes of my best friend (my dog) of 13 years when I finally had to put him down.
3 years ago, after I had to carry my 15 year old dog in to have her put to sleep. She had cancer, operated and chemo but became too anemic. I wish I could have cried harder. It still chokes me up.
And the total Vet bill was about $15,000 Cdn
Three months ago. As you know we lost a baby mid-term last year. Well, my wife went back to China for work as we wait for her immigration. It was also a very bad year her. She became so depressed and I just didn't know what to do.
So, after she left I was cleaning and opened a draw and found an unwrapped breast pump. Because I wasn't with her when we lost the baby, I don't think the impact hit me fully until that moment. It was as though I could feel all the joy and happiness my wife had when she bought that pump being crushed and having it still wrapped and in the drawer 10 months later gave me an acute sense of panic and deep sorrow for my wife. And it all just came flooding out.
It's been a rough year. But things are on the up and up now.
Xpat.John:
I would have given this way more than one thumb up if I could. I am glad to hear that things are looking better for you and your wife.
Hulk:
I've been there, nevermind. Been well over a year now, and it's still just as painful and depressing as it was before. It's something you can never forget.
DaqingDevil:
Gee, I'm kind of wondering who gave this answer a thumbs down!! Weird.
Sad story. Hope all turns out well in the future.
nevermind:
Thanks, guys. But yeah, I'm fully employed and the wifey is on here way back soon! Fuck I can't wait to feel normal again.
:
I noticed your absence on this Forum nevermind and didn't know about the loss of your baby. I am so sorry for you both and I can feel how hard this it is and was. As hulk says, this sort of experience you can never forget. Losing your own child, oh my! I imagine having children and losing one...I imagined this happening to me while reading your words and I would feel lost struggling to put up myself. I hope your wife and you are getting better everyday and as a miracle find reasons of joy, daily joy and why not...of happiness.
maggiegirly:

Good luck to you both.
SoFresh:
I'm really glad things are going better for you. Things like this are hard to deal with but in the long run they will only make you guys stronger! Best of luck to you and your family!
A few hours ago. I drank a bottle of wine fell unconscious and feel much better now = )
January, War Remnants Museum, Saigon.
MissA:
That place is intense.... I've been twice. Both times I had a complete meltdown; both were followed by an intense Mekong whisky session, and I never normally touch that shit.
3 years ago when my younger sister died of cancer. Too young............. 
On a lighter note......I actually cry every Saturday night after the Lotto results are announced and I haven't won....again....ever......and realise I have to keep working!!
Last month,when i watched a Brazilian film named Ultima Parada 174.I cry a lot when i watch films.
As an avid amateur baseball player, I have taken a solemn oath not to use my tear ducts.
Last night, when the boss busted out the Moutai Baijiu. Paint thinner would have been preferable.
21 years ago when my first wife died of cancer. Franck3
Hulk:
Nothing hurts more than losing a loved one. I'm sorry to hear that, Franck.
When I got my paycheck in the mail after waiting so patiently for it. Also, the day I became an Airman and graduated from college!
Crying while drunk..... every few months it seems. Not in public or anything but for whatever reason if I get drunk then read or see something sad I start to cry.
Crying while sober. Probably about 8 years ago when I received a phone call about a family member passing.
Feb 15th when I got hit by an Ebike and passed out. Woke up in ER with Chinese people staring me down at me. All my friends and coworkers were out of town .....first time I felt alone in China...not to mention the pain. 6 hours later, I begged to go home finally I AMA (left against medical advice)......
