Life is full of emotional moments that bring tears to my eyes, and I’ll admit—I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to them.
When My Girls Perform
Watching my daughters sing, recite poetry, or perform in a play fills me with overwhelming pride and joy. Seeing them express themselves and blossom into who they are meant to be often brings tears to my eyes—a blend of love and deep admiration for the amazing people they’re becoming. I’m usually the first mom to start the waterworks! 😄
A Good Movie
A powerful movie can easily move me to tears, whether it’s a touching story or a scene that strikes a chord with my own life. It’s a beautiful reminder of our shared human experience and the emotions that bind us together. Who am I kidding—any Hallmark romance has me reaching for the tissues! 😄
Watching Old Videos
Revisiting videos (or my blog) from when my daughters were little always brings tears. Seeing their tiny faces and hearing their voices from years ago fills me with nostalgia and a deep love for the memories we’ve made together.
These moments, whether joyful or nostalgic, remind me of the depth of my feelings and the love that fills my life.
How about you?

a day in the life of a latvian mom 
An endearing response, Ilze. Joyful tears about family are my favourites. I have shed less pleasant ones in the grief of bereavements

Thank you, Derrick, for your thoughtful response. I share your sentiment—joyful tears about family truly are special. I’m sorry to hear about your experiences with grief; it’s a reminder of how deeply we feel and connect with our loved ones. If you’d like to talk more about it or just share stories, I’m here.

Thank you very much, Ilze. The griefs are so far in the past and have fears on earlier posts

My, husband, kids, and grandsons, family, friends, books, movies, gratefulness for all the good things in my life. I’m definitely sentimental and tears aren’t far away when something resonates or touches my soul.

Thank you! They are adorable, but this summer was crazy.. with all the renovation and work, we didn’t spend much quality time together… That affects us but fingers crossed, we move in first floor late autumn.

I hope that you do get into your new home soon, Ilze. I don’t know anything about your country. 🫣
