After Sue of Happy Meals & Happy Hour recently issued a No-Cry Challenge in which she put up a couple of YouTube videos of songs to make her readers cry, my wife “outed” me on Twitter that the following song makes me cry:
So I’ll own up to it here publicly. I just hear the first two lines (actually just half of the first line, who am I kidding?):
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
and here I am:
(It’s true. I become James Van Der Beek. It’s weird.)
All I could think of when I first saw this movie was all the toys I had abandoned as a child, including a teddy bear named Harry that belonged to my father when he was a child and which now I don’t know where he is — waaaahhhh, waaaaaaah, waaaaaah.
Harry looked like this:
I’m sorry, seeing that picture, I don’t know if I can write anymore tonight as I’m becoming a little verklempt…
But as Brad and Dolly sing: Yeah, when I get where I’m going, there’ll be only happy tears.

Those other commenters should totally get their asses kicked! It’s a sweet song, but I don’t have the guilt you harbor, because when my parents retired and moved, I reclaimed my favorite stuffed bear, and it now sits comfortably on my closet shelf, so that I see him every morning when I choose my shoes. I think he’s 25 years old now, which is good, because his car insurance will finally drop.
And yes, two of the comments now are yours, Mrs. Egotist– who thinks she’s funnier than me (which you are, by the way, but I’m ‘m just sayin’).
LOLZ the comments are funnier than the post.
Oh and …it makes me cry too.
But that’s OK. Because I’m actually a girl.
Oh. Wait. Maybe mom raised two girls after all?
Yes, with mockery comes voting.
You idiot. I have Harry and that’s not what he looked like.
I’ll post a photo later.
If you want him, you have to pay me (said in voice of the villain in Austin Powers — I don’t know his name because I hate those movies and only sit through that scene while the husband laughs like an idiot) one million dollars!
You know I love ya even more because of this….despite the mockery.
