About 2 years ago, got a big ass lecture from my dad after doing something which I can't remember, but it wasn't good, and it really made me think. Sat there and listened to everthing he said, then left and balled my eyes out for some reason. I guess what he said really got to me. And it's not like he yelled or anything. It was weird. But I hate it when people cry.
A couple of weeks ago I broke down crying in front of a girl I like a lot. We were talking about my immediate family (mom, dad, sister) which I never grew up due to issues separating us all (mom - atlanta, dad - jail, sister - miami, me - houston), and it really hit me and I just started crying.

Wow... That's real $hit... You got a brother here though don't forget.
I think since I became a father I've tapped into some emotional side that wasn't there all my life. Last hard one I had was when a friend of mine died. He was stabbed to death last year.

How did she react?
My most serious ex's dad passed away only a few months before we met, so there were always these little unnoticeable (to me) things that would remind her of her dad and make her cry hysterically. I never really knew how to handle it.

Damn man, I'm sorry. That's awful.
On a different note, what is it like being a father? I have a dog right now and I think she's about all I can handle.

Death is a hard subject... In the span of about 3-4 years I saw my
dad lose his Father, Brother, and Mother...

She got down on the floor with me and just gave me a really warm hug. :)
about 6 months ago when my cat that i've known for pretty much all of my life died.
i know, its just a cat, but i think the way it died hurt a lot.
Basically, i got home from church, heard noises from the living room, went in and saw my cat on the floor (she was feeling really sick so we left her on the couch with a blanket and some water) having a seizure. For the next hour and a half she would have a seizure, then get out of it, nearly die, we'd get some water into her, she'd have another seizure, then nearly die again, etc. It was painful as hell to watch.
To be honest, I shed a tear when espn did a story on Lamar Odom's baby dying. They interviewed him and he talked about holding his dead baby in his arms one last time in the hospital. I have a baby daughter which is maybe why it touched me more than it would most people.
