No one would figure some folks could cry, lol.
My father passed when I was 13, but I saw him cry twice, and I look back and think that he was very egotistical, but my point of view was that of a child, and he actually lived 7 yrs, after a 6 month -to-live diagnosis from heart disease. 6 heart attacks, over his life. Hell he deserved an ego I think.
No idea why I shared that.
Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen my dad cry. He's a pretty reserved type of guy. Must be the German in him. I've seen my mom cry quite a few times, but don't think I've ever seen my dad. Poor guy.
As for myself, if I want to cry, I'll cry. I have to be honest, I could really care less what anyone thinks of me over it. I'm pretty sure I've been through enough in life to validate it once in a while.
Wow, this sure quickly turned into an awkward conversation, eh? heh.
