Good post. I am a Caregiver and I too find myself crying and /or teary eyed at odd times. Even now 3 years later , I still get emotional and teary if the matter of Kris's cancer comes up. I do this too when others are unwell, or have their own issues to deal with. I guess it's just the emotional response to it all. My co workers /friends are used to this from me and are great.
I think this will always be my response being an emotional being.
