The births of my children.
The death of my daughter.
My fiance's suicide.
When my oldest son joined the Army.
Watching the ambulance rush away with my 7-week old baby when he suffered a severe asthma attack.
When my closest friend stopped speaking to me.

I was in the back section of a K-Mart store on a December evening, I turned around, and my 3-year old daughter was no longer there. I looked up and down the next few aisles, she was nowhere, and the parental instincts naturally kicked-in. After some quick back-tracking and a wider circle still found me looking, I felt a real rush of adrenalin and a sudden keen awareness of the absence of my precious daughter, and a mental clock beginning to time this absence. Not knowing her wherabouts was frightening, and it seemed that clock was at the 3-minute mark. I got my girlfriend involved immediately and she took off in another direction.
I sprinted to the front doors of the store, daring anyone to leave for few moments, but I had to do something. I had to "keep moving!" I swallowed hard as I began this desperate, methodical search as my thoughts raced, telling me I had never wanted to be in this dire situation, but it had to be done, and urgently.
4 minutes!! Four Minutes!!! The panic was so overpowering
that both my vision and hearing were in this surreal-mode as I finally heard myself cry out her name.
SUDDENLY I STOPPED! There!! I heard it again... "Daddy?"
It wasn't close, but close enough and I swooped her up off this little riding toy as she emerged from under a circular clothes rack near the front of the store!!!
I realised a hundred new things in the next two seconds, and all of them about the rock-solid, permanent bond between a father and his daughter.
She was, frankly, not the least upset; actually seemed proud to have been on a little independent escapade, but still I know she was looking for me, too!
So, after all that excess adrenalin rapidly wore-off, I was a real case!!! I found a secret spot and broke...it had to be released. And after a short period of time, we drove outta the parking lot with the normalcy of everyday shoppers, but me with some very precious cargo and new insight.

The day i left my ex-partner after many years of domestic abuse. I told him i was going shopping, took the baby with me (son at school), got to the bottom of the road and knew with certainty i was not going back! I sat and cried in the middle of town for about half an hour, phoned friend during my weepy session and told her, she came and got me and from that minute on my life has turned around. It was real GOOD emotional crying, a release after so long being abused.

When I was living at home still, my parents got a phone call from an electricty bill saying that I personally had changed over our electricity supplier!! Naturally they were fuming as I didn't have permission to do this. The thing was that I HADN'T done this!!! Because I was over 18 the elecy board assumed that I paid the bill, we worked out with the help of the electricty watchdog board that they had got my details from the national database and just transfered things over!!! BAD BAD BAD!!! I cried my eyes out for MONTHS on end coz it took so long to sort out. I was just recovering from a nervous breakdown and this just pushed me back over the edge. I was scared that anyone could do this to me, I think this database is a bad idea.

Stubbedmy toe on the corner of my couch and it put tears in my eyes and I missed then end of a program that I really wanted to see the end of that I threw the remote angrily only to realise that it was my mobile phone which landed on the fireplace and smashed a crystal sculpture that my first love gave to me as a always forever gift that was an antique and was 15 years old and was now worth £250.

the loss of a loved one but thats life on lifes terms , i have learnt since that faitfull day many things about life on lifes terms ,Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Injury, Illness, love lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be a smoothly paved path to nowhere.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, foregive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back uncondittionally, not only because they love you but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you never would have seen or felt without them.
Make everyday count. Apprichiate every moment and take from it everything you can, for you may never be able to expierience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up high because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in yourself no one else will believe you either.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

The death of my father last October, i miss him terribly.

After all he went through to live longer , he died and left me and my mum with a spite full brother after his money
I was my dads only little girl and i could twist him around my little finger as he used to say.
I don't care what anybody says, you never know true pain until you lose someone that close to you, if it is a wife,husband, mother, father worse of all your own children.

That is real emotion and heartfelt wrenching tears.

When my son survived a serious accident on a fairground ride. The sound of him crying under the cart was, while being the most dreadful sound in the world, also the sweetest sound i have ever heard because he was still with me. Brings a tear to my eye thinking about it five years on.

the situation that made me cry tearfull with real emotion was when i was tarrying for the holy ghost, I really don't know where the tears come from but just talking to god and thanking him I started to cry and started speaking in tongues as the spirit gives utterance it was a wonderful feeling.getting baptized with the holy ghost is really important it equips you for any battles that the devil come with.
