i'm a crier.

i have long disputed this fact.

in fact all through out high school i liked to brag that " i never cry".

but it's just not true.

i cry all of the time. 

maybe i'm just now growing into my title as a crier,

but i'm fine with it.

i cry at cheerios commercials,

at kodak commercials,

at that heartwrenching state farm commercial with the older couple looking at their ruined house after katrina, cut to the breast cancer survivors walk, cut to the dad returning home from iraq.

i sob.

i cry when i'm about to throw myself 450 feet into a canyon.

i cry at sad movies (most recently winter's bone in the nz international film festival)

i cry when i laugh too hard.

so when my mom sent me this video link about my younger brother's swim team, 

surprise...

i cried.

despite the fact that i am entrenched in a very, very busy coffee shop.

oh well, 

they can wonder all they want.

the song choices are PERFECT.

and the pictures made my heart so happy,

i couldn't help but melt off all of my mascara that was managing to cling on from last night.

watch this.

it's beautiful.

 

it's okay if you don't cry.

i did more than enough for all of us.

shiny, happy people. ahhhhh. my heart.

love love love.
