Newt Gingrich today wiped away tears and was handed a tissue by an audience member in Des Moines when he became emotional onstage while talking about his mother.
“I get teary eyed every time we sing Christmas carols,†Gingrich said before his speech was overcome with emotion at an event hosted at Java Joe’s Coffee in Des Moines by CafeMom.com, a secular, bipartisan organization.
The crowd – roughly 100 people in a jam packed room — expressed a compassionate sigh of emotion.
You can tell the voting is around the corner. bo frickin hoo newt!

Maybe that is why Obama has kept his illegal immigrant aunt and uncle here. They may be useful. :whistling:

I see all of y'all just laugh and act the fools when remembering a dead parent.
The comparision of Hilary (completely fake crying) and this from a man speaking about his dead mother are unfair.

I completely agree with Crazy Horse.
Now there is no sadness or emotion allowed when thinking about a deceased parent?
And he was led to this "event" by some pointed questioning?
Geez. ::)

Torn about this, when I speak of my Dad it is all ways with joyfull remembrances of the remarkable man he was.
Ah the fun memories of Dad dancing the Funkie Chicken is much better then to remember his last days.
Crazy Horse, laughing and joking on a dead ancestor is to share some of the best times of our lives with them. We do not weep for the loss, we celebrate the times we were fortunate to have had with them. Every one has a family member that has some quirk, odd sense of humor or who ended up in a funny situation and how they got out of it.
Better to smile and laugh at the memory then to cry for the loss. Thank God for the time you had together and laugh about grandma and the time she blew up the outhouse.
My Mom is still healthy and alive at 89. when she goes it will cause many a tear to be shed, but at her memorial there will be none of this crying for our loss, family members will speak of the fun times, the strange times and crazy times spent with her. We will not morn her passing but to celebrate the things that brought us the most joy and laughter to be around her. Heavens knows there are much fun memories of the fixes Mom got me into and out of.
Death is not the end as long as there are people that remember personally or by word of mouth about them. What do we know of death, but, it is final for the living, but we do not know if the departed will meet again up with their loved ones.
To cry and weep for your loss does not bring back the memory's of the departed as they in no way humanize the deceased. Memory's of Ancestors should be passed on to future generations, best to do this with a joyfull crazy memory then to cry and say nothing.
Our crying for our loss is well over after a few years, now we take comfort in the remembrance's of the person they were and the remarkable people they were.
Grandfather passed, the funeral very solemn, back at the house as people came in and out my Dad, his only son entertained us for hours about the funny things, for good or bad that he remembered his father had done in his life time. Others had good time story's about him and some neighbors who had recently moved in and did not know the family were shocked at the laughter that came from the house, we were celebrating not his death but his life and how much he remained in our minds.
Celebrate the life of a loved one, do not weep for your loss be joyful that the Lord gave you time to be together, to carry on good memories to pass on to the next generations.

So everyone is supposed to act the same? Memories are funny things - sometimes they're good, sometimes bad.
To cry and weep for your loss does not bring back the memory's of the departed as they in no way humanize the deceased.
That generalization is way off base and has nothing to do with anything mentioned on this thread. Who said anything about humanizing?

Once again, you put everyone into the same category that's comfortable for you. Generally speaking, one shouldn't generalize, particularly about such a sensitive and personal subject.
