Things that make you blub - unexpectedly

I find the playing of ANY national anthem often reduces me to tears. I have no idea why.

Oooh loadsa things!
None of the ones you mention tho.
Anything involving sad cases with children or animals, the sound of children singing a happy little song, other pieces of music that bring back memories, beautiful pieces of music or hymns and carols, anything emotional in films, seeing disasters on tv, seeing real bravery, I could go on.
Got worse as I get older😳

The Queen's speech on TV during the pandemic did it for me. So well judged and delivered so sincerely.

Oreo I'm the same - when I'm anywhere near children singing, I go to pieces. I have to scurry past any "little choir of angels" singing hymns at Christmas time, head down and clutching for a tissue!

The last post always does it for me.

I am awful when it comes to crying - I have been known to cry at TV adverts - my family find it VERY amusing - it is usually the music that does it.

My daughter died unexpectedly on Thursday, I cannot stop blubbing, I am heartbroken ....

Oh MadeInYorkshire

Oh, dear MadeInYorkshire I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine your grief.

Oh my goodness, MadeinYorkshire, that is so sad.

MadeinYorkshire I am so very sorry for you. I too lost my adult child suddenly. My heart goes out to you and your family.

*MadeinYorkshire, all my sympathy.

What makes me blub? Any unexpected reminder of my dear sister.

MadeInYorkshire

Sincere condolences, cannot imagine anything worse than outliving your children.

My heartfelt sympathy MadeinYorkshire. Much love and strength for the days ahead.

Oh my goodness, Made in Yorkshire. So unbelievably tragic and I am so, so sorry for your loss. Take care and go steady.

MadeInYorkshire you must be heartbroken. Losing a parent is sad, but losing a child is far worse. My deepest condolences xx

What makes me bubble, children singing O Holy Night, certain pieces of classical music always hit the spot, likewise, Flower of Scotland and the Marseillais, also whenever I hear bagpipes. I once listened to a young group of pipers rehearsing in the grounds of Inverary Castle with tears rolling down. It’s happening at the moment, listening to a neighbour’s son rehearsing for St Andrews dinner this evening. Such haunting melodies.
Certain films, An Affair to Remember and many others too long to list.

Oh MadeinYorkshire,i am so sorry for your loss.
That news in itself has me teary eyed.

So sorry MadeinYorkshire, I cried just reading your post as my daughter also died this year. That’s it end of post

I am not a ‘cryer’ but when watching the Service at the Cenotaph this year having just laid her wreath, a female black diplomat turned her head and said ”Thank you”. To my surprise tears sprang to my eyes and I choked up. Also despite being English I start to fill up every time I hear the Welsh National anthem. I think it is just the passion with which it is sung, but I can feel a tingle down my back every time.

Firstly , my condolences to MadeinYorkshire Your grief is unimaginable.

Songs and music often moves me to tears .
Strange that this should come up as today I have twice felt tears falling.
Firstly whilst speaking to a gentleman who is on our cruise. His first holiday alone and although he was enjoying the cruise was obviously finding it difficult without his wife who died last year
Secondly, as I stood on our balcony leaving the ships berth in Cadiz the tears flowed as I thought how lucky I am over the years to have seen so many wonderful parts of the world and to have a comfortable life and beautiful family to go home to.

Made in Yorkshire, my condolences and thoughts. So very sorry. x
