Happy tears

What brings tears of joy to your eye?

Watching my children and grandchildren doing well brings tears to my eye.

Getting their first jobs, first houses, and being happily settled makes me happy.

My husband became a Professor after years of hard work contributing to research and academia. I found it quite emotional. When he was given the all clear for bladder cancer was also a day of happy tears. Different but happy.

The day I graduated from university at the age of 50 did make me shed a few happy tears. It was something I had wanted to do for many years but life got in the way.

My daughter recently became a nurse prescriber after working as a nurse for almost 30 years and we were very proud. I have a tear in my eye when I see how my son has progressed in a business environment and the acclimation he gets from his peers.

I could mention other family achievements but I don’t want to appear boastful. So these and other achievements brings joyful tears to my eyes.
