I never got the rabbits thing. It's funny that remembering "rabbits" does absolutely nothing as far as bringing up tears for me. However, every time I mow my lawn and go past the little pine trees I planted. . . probably just allergies though. I’m gonna go with “you crazy.”

I have to admit to blinking back tears while reading the comments you all left. Thanks for helping me realize I'm not crazy. Well... maybe a little crazy - i.e. The Carpenters thing... :) Sue and n8 – thanks.

I went with several friends and they all weeped and used up boxes of kleenex. I wasn't able to shed one tear. For me, I guess I couldn't cry because I already knew what was going to happen. Whereas, I can bawl through all kinds of other movies. Everyone told me that I would bawl while watching Mel Gibson’s “The Passion”.

I hadn't shown any emotion at all to that point. But as soon as the guy handed me his belongings (watch, wallet, house/car keys), I just lost it. It wasn't until that point that I put everything in context. Seeing all that stuff made me think of all the memories we made and that we wouldn't be making any new ones. That was the toughest part of the whole ordeal. Have you ever seen Saving Private Ryan? Right before the big last battle to save the bridge, Matt Damon is talking with Tom Hanks and he says "I can't see their (his dead brother's) faces. I don't even remember what they looked like." Tom Hanks replied, "You have to put it in context." Or something like that. The point is it's all about context. For you, your context is "RABBITS!". Not crazy at all. In fact, I'd say it's healthy. Roger has a point though about The Carpenters. You should consider seeing somebody about that one.

I cried most recently because people on both sides of my family were calling me about serious problems- within five minutes of each other. Wanting to help when I can't do a thing-but pray. Seeing my kids accomplish things they have worked hard at. Now that I am typing all this I can feel the tears coming again. I am glad you have the "Rabbits" memory,Kelli. It's a treasure. I love the carpenters too. Like the other bloggers, seeing PK’s pic brought tears to my eyes-sometimes when I see peeps I have to hold it back.

Of course you would cry...I even remember the craziness of RABBITS!(and those who tried to jump on board). Even though I saw her every week and lived close by, my mom would usually call Sat. mornings to see how I was...esp if Eddie was working. I guess those losses confirm the loss of that person in our lives, so that gives us permission to cry! It makes no "sense" to me when I start crying (sometimes heavily) when I hear of others losses/hard times, yet I don't often get that way for myself. I've almost even cried for the frustration the Brewers must be feeling....(j/k...I'm annoyed!!!!). We got schooled....ouch! Love that picture…that alone would make me cry!
