Oh baby!

Daily writing prompt
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

While, I can unashamedly admit that crying is something I’m rather good at, there are certain moments, experiences, and memories that bring about those joyful drops of emotion that WordPress is inquiring about.

Among the list of crybaby culprits, we have everything from a good song to an old photo album. But nothing get’s my facial sprinklers going like the first cry of a newborn baby!

The miracle! The first sounds of new life! And, they used to say that the louder a baby cries, the stronger the lung’s, so there’s even more joy bubbling up to my fully operational fire suppression units!

In fact, I cried just as much for all my children’s’ firsts! If we’re all being fully honest about the depth of our joyful tears… it has to be babies, children, and and/all small helpless living thing. Just being honest, here.

The picture I shared is of my middle daughter, shortly after her birth. She will soon be celebrating her 33rd birthday, and on or near that date is the expected due date of her first baby. Our newest grandchild shall be the cause of countless joyful tears. But I have to stop talking about her, or those pesky waterworks will short out my keyboard. I’m trying to answer this silly prompt!

Ok! I know it’s Labor Day, so I will not tax your holiday brains with anything further… well, maybe just a few seconds longer.

My answers always come with cookies…

To Cry or Not to Cry…

Though it may seem an odd way of remembering things, sometimes the things I read from the prompt, bring me an immediate memory response… at times it is rather off the wall, but this time it fits pretty well.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

Is it just me or does everyone’s kids try to give them gifts that make them cry? Well, mine were professional Tear Jerkers! For some reason, they made it their mission in life to outdo each other in the “make mom cry at your gift” department. Whether it be a holiday gift or possibly Mothers Day or my Birthday, tears were always to be incoming.

Now this is most probably because I am a cry baby… yes folks… full on cry baby am I. I cry if I am happy, sad, or angry! I have an empathetic spirit, so emotions run very very high within this vessel. I think my girls figured it out early on, deriving much joy in knowing my reaction showed my true happiness at their gifts. It did not help, however, that there were three of them and they turned it into a competition at times. To this day I am not sure why they behaved this way… it’s kind of funny.

Now that you know I am a big baby, we can try to make some grown up and mature explanation of a really great reason to cry for Joy… I have a laundry list of crying sessions… hmmmm… Oh! I did cry yesterday when I.V. said some very sweet things regarding a piece I wrote. You all better not start acting like my kids and saying stuff to see if I cry… just teasing.

In truth I love your comments and responses. Connecting with others brightens my days and whether my tears are of Joy or simply emotional responses, both enrich my spirit. Who knows, maybe if the world would let themselves freely cry to express feelings, there would not be so much anger out there. Ah well, pipe dreams I guess… Most likely we would end up with no job, no money, and the economy would crash aside from the Pet stores. There would be emotional support animals controlling everything… schools, businesses, and mainly Government (They are all crybabies anyway).

Well, it is Monday September 4th, and I am off to adventure with my great panther Brodie, and I will probably cry if he dies again. Happy Labor Day!

Oh, don’t forget to take your treat with you when you leave.
