Real...the day my dog died. Taking the body to the vet, just leaving it there, and seeing my dad cry. There's something so terrible about watching a parent cry. it destroys you. You don't know what to do...
Also real: The day I graduated from my dance school. They called me and the three other graduates onstage at the end of our last recital to receive flowers, and I was bawling before they even said my name. All I remember is seeing everything through a sea of tears. Afterward, I had so many parents come up to me and tell me they wanted their kids to grow up to be like me, kids come up to me and say how much they admired me. It was heartwrenching because it was a phase in my life that I had to leave behind--leaving behind your childhood, and I'll always miss it very much.
Fiction: I cry at everything: so many movies and books--Apollo 13, The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid (really), Life is Beautiful, Sophie's Choice, Little Women..basically anything where people die simply ruins me. I'd have to say though, that I was the absoulte WORST at Schindler's List. Over other movies, I shed a few tears, get misty, etc. But I cried for three hours (literally) after watching Schindler's. The scene where he (Oskar) cries.."I could have saved one more..." to this day, that scene kills me.
I also have to say that some of those stories in the Chicken Soup books, although cheesy, are pretty sad.
