Just keep swimming, those songs make me cry too! But the one that always gets to me is Who you'd be today by Kenny Chesney. The other one that always gets me as well is George Caynon's I want you to live. Everytime I watch the video to the song I start to bawl. There's just something about country music!
Watching anything about 9/11 makes me cry. To this day, and forever, I refuse to watch any of the movies about it no matter how good they are. It's simply too painful, and I didn't even know anyone who died that day. I feel like it's just a big, raw wound that will never go away.
Also, I burst into tears at my brothers wedding. I've never done that before at any other wedding, or even at funerals. Usually I am quite able to contain my emotions (at least until I am in private). But, it was my dear baby brother, there was an empty seat with a bouquet of roses resting on it where my mom should have been sitting (she passed away a few years ago), and for the wedding march they chose a song my mom adored and wanted played at her funeral ("Only Time" by Enya). As soon as the music started I just started bawling (which many people told me later had caused them to cry).

I cry at everything. Songs, tv, people, you name it.
The one that bothers me most, mainly because I'm in a public setting when I do it, is seeing my two daughters teachers from last year (this year's still fresh, I'm sure eventually I'll cry over their new ones too). They both have a slight learning disability, and the youngest (6) is struggling to talk (but ohmigosh soooo smart!), and these teachers went above and beyond for my kids. My oldest was in Kidnergarten and they incorporated her well into the class. She'd work with the resource room teacher I loved in the morning, then go to PM Kidnergarten. She even encouraged my daughter to write, email or call over the summer. My youngest was in preschool, same school, and her teachers had her boosted with confidence and uttering new words. There was also a HUGE change in behavior at home.
It just amazed me how much love these teachers showed them. I didn't want them to move up.
They are both doing so much better this year in school.

You guys reminded me of another one - the movie Beaches.
I had a good friend many years ago who died of Lukemia. She was only 21. The pastor at her service quipped that he had never played to a packed house before. There was every type of person imaginable there - from big tough bikers she knew from her job at a parts store, to elderly people from the retirement home where she volunteered, and every type in between - college students in jeans to business professionals in suits. They played "Wind Beneath my Wings" as her casket left the building and there wasn't a dry eye in the place - even the big tough bikers were sobbing.
