When did you cry the last time and why?

My mum died, I didn't attend the funeral I hadn't spoken to her for 12 years. I'd had the most horrible childhood, it was one of the worst. Then about a year later it was mother's day and people on Reddit were sending messages to their mums, I felt an overwhelming urge to write something, these words were from the heart, when I read it back to myself I had tears streaming down my face..."When you used to beat me black and blue, lock me in my room, and starve me, you would not feed me for days on end, and sometimes when I was so thirsty I would drink water from the toilet bowl...I still loved you. You hated me for no real, good reason, except for the fact that I was alive and breathing. You hugged me once and told me that you loved me, and that I was secretly your little 'blue eyes'. And that, although you only ever said that word just once and cuddled me, only once...I remembered it for over fifty years".
