I believe I was made with an "hyperactive crier."
I'm serious.
It doesn't take much for me to tear up.
I was thinking this morning, "what happens biologically that makes us cry." I know it's somehow tied to our emotions. I don't know what it is but my "crying system" works well.
I am especially prone to cry when my kids get recognition.
This morning, I attended an event at our high school where my son had to give a brief speech as President of the Junior class. I was proud and I misted up.
But, I've cried a lot lately.
I cried when Will got a key hit in a baseball game.
I cried when it was announced that he had been elected a "senior ambassador."
I cried when Robert told me he had been nominated for a promotion at Dick's sporting goods. Robert has been working there since last September. Those who have worked there for a period of time say that he is advancing quicker than normal. That makes a dad proud.
And, I cried when my daughter made the cheerleading squad.
"Lord, thank you for the three wonderful kids you have blessed Holli and me with."
