BTW, the physical stuff hasn't made me cry in decades ... despite going through some pretty painful circumstances. It's the emotional stuff that will get me.

All that fits me good. I cried three times in high school, and I think they were the only times I've cried since puberty...
1) My Junior year, I started my first full football game at Free Safety...I gave it everything I had and we still lost, which killed me inside.
2) My great-grandmother died last January, which is the closest death I've ever experienced. She had also been sick since about the October before that, so it was expected. It still tore me up though.
3) Our football team got to the play-offs for the first time in about six or seven years this past November, and we were facing the favorite for the State Championship in the first round. We lost and we lost hard, but we gave some hellacious effort. It wasn't just the effort, but the fact that it was our last football game. Outside of my great-grandma dying, that's the most pain I've ever ever experienced.
I still hurt when I think about #2 and #3, though I haven't cried about them since the event happened.
