And we will continue to lose as a society. Sometimes the most appropriate thing to do is to burst — and release feelings. Emotions need to move. They ask of us not for judgement or repression, yet for embrace, acceptance and release. The temperate and unpredictable nature of emotions scares people as feelings cannot be controlled. And an uncontrolled man, can be a scary beast. I understand that. As a human being, I was born to feel. It is my right. Tears quote by Washington Irving 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 the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving. No comment for "Tears quote by Washington Irving".

Who, even in the hour of agony, would forget the friend over whom he mourns? Who, even when the tomb is closing upon the remains of her he most loved, when he feels his heart, as it were, crushed in the closing of its portal, would accept of consolation that must be bought by forgetfulness?
No, the love which survives the tomb is one of the noblest attributes of the soul. If it has its woes, it has likewise its delights; and when the overwhelming burst of grief is calmed into the gentle tear of recollection, when the sudden anguish and the convulsive agony over the present ruins of all that we most loved are softened away in pensive meditation on all that it was in the days of its loveliness - who would root out such a sorrow from the heart?
Though it may sometimes throw a passing cloud over the bright hour of gaiety, or spread a deeper sadness over the hour of gloom, yet who would exchange it even for the song of pleasure, or the burst of revelry? No, there is a voice from the tomb sweeter than song. There is a remembrance of the dead to which we turn even from the charms of the living. Oh, the grave! Lessons from my tears Tears are sacred.
We were overjoyed at the thought that we would be starting our own little family. The tears were not just salty drops coming from my eyes because of my hormones or because the nurse that drew my blood said something insensitive, but in respect for what could have been. My tears meant something. My tears are sacred. Tears are powerful. My husband has not actually cried since his grandmother passed away over 5 years ago. As I listened to him cry over the phone I did not associate his tears with weakness.
All I could think about was the power that comes with becoming a parent. Granted, parents are not perfect, they are human and make mistakes, but regardless of those faults, parental power carries some major weight.
His tears over someone he had never even met yet showed me the power of love that can come with becoming a parent.
