    I know, right?  It makes you wonder what ever happened to the work ethic. Go figure.

    I recall some missing children cases in the media where it turns out the parents have viciously murdered them.  Some of those made me cry.

    I cried when John Lennon was shot, when the astronauts of Challenger died, and Princess Diana.  

    I certainly have attended funerals of young people I never knew that maybe was a classmate of one of my kids.  Those are killers and that will often have me in tears for many days.

  • I liked your answer, for whatever that's worth.
    I hate it when people of.gentle spirit, that inspire so many, die.
    Maybe people should live as long and proportional to how.much good they do for others.

    I know.  It really bothers me to see others hurt, and that is another reason an untimely death hits me hard.  I look at those that DO know them and it really strikes a chord in me.

  • I understand, I think feeling so deeply the pain and suffering of others is a gift. I feel that those impervious to.other people's pain are deficient somehow, lacking somewhere. Thanks for sharing Peapod

    You are welcome.  It's always a pleasure to chat with someone else that understands that.

  • Cary Grant. When I found out he died, I started crying like a baby. I have no idea why, I had never cried over the death of a celebrity before.
