“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”
you r totally right!! I have been married 3 times and went with many guys in my life time and I learned to read men pretty good. I only saw a few of them cry. Men are so reluctant to cry, or at least to cry and be seen. We as women feel free to cry when we need to but men do not. The men I have know who have cried are the greatest men of all. they are equally in tune to their feminine side as their manly side and that makes for a wonderful man.
Dick was never ashamed to cry. I think these words by Washington Irving say an awful lot. They tease me at church that I cry every Sunday. I told them not Every Sunday & when I do I don\'t make excuses or leave. Allowed is a wonderful word. I am allowing myself a lot of things these days.

I cry at sad things, but more often when I\'m moved by beauty or love..

I have always thought that you could judge a man\'s strength of character in watching the way he held a child and if he could cry.
How true Dianne!
