Two nights ago at dinner, my son turned to me and out of the blue asked this question.
I gave him my look and, with certainty, said, "It depends".
He then asked if I ever cried. To which I responded, "Under my own terms, I cried. But I've never done it in front of anyone".
The quizzical one then asked, "Under what circumstances is it ok to cry?"
My answer was brief and to the point as I have not let my eyes leak for too many things. I listed it as such:
- "When your Grandmother passed away"
- "When your two Aunts passed away"
- "and the day you were born!"
He asked again, "Did anyone see you?" I told him, "NO", but that doesn't mean he has to hide it if he ever feels the need to open up the floodgates.
It's a personal choice. I choose to do mine in private (when I have to) otherwise I remain stoic.
Your emotions are YOUR emotions! Don't let anyone tell you what is right or wrong when it comes to them. But YOU choose how and when you let them fly.
