The only one that made me actually physically cry was Kristy and the Snobs. I'm not a huge dog person, but Louie sounded so sweet, and I've watched a few pets deteriorate like that...it's really hard for an adult. I can't imagine what it was like for David Michael.
I may have gotten teary at some of the stuff about Abby's dad, too, but I haven't read her portrait book since I was a kid, and can't really remember.
Hey, I'm sitting for Charlotte now! Cool!

I just remembered that I cried like a baby when the Barretts have to give up Pow. Even though they do give him to the Pikes and everythings all happy, it's almost more painful to read than Louie's death cause just the idea of a dog being taken away from its family... god I can't even think of it without misting up. Some scenes were just brutal to read.

I just finished Abby's Book and almost cried with her dad dying. I think that's the worst one for me as losing a parent is one of my biggest fears.

I've cried at all of the things you guys have mentioned, and more. I'm very much a Mary Anne. I think the worst was Sunny Diary 3 and anything to do with Abby's father. I cried my entire way through Sunny's book, it was so heartbreaking.

^ I haven't read that one and probably don't want to since I can't get through a book dealing with a mom dying.... I'm not usually a big crier about death but this is one thing that gets me.

I cry a lot especially when families are involved. I cry when they say how much they love their fathers,mothers,brothers,sisters,grandmas,grandpas,pets etc.,etc. I also cried when I read the back cover of Mary Anne's Book,the part where she wrote "I wish with all my heart,that I could remember the first few months of my life. Because if I did,I would remember my mother. And the the last line made me cry too. Here it is: But mostly,I remember my father,because he's always been there for me. Always and forever.

Abby's Portrait made me really sad. I wasn't sobbing big tears or anything like I do for Charlotte's Web, but I was definitely pretty misty-eyed when her dad died. Interestingly enough, I didn't identify as much with Abby and Anna as I did with her mom. (And I'm not really all that fond of her in the regular books.) I could even see myself putting on his bathrobe like that. I know it was probably really hard for Abby, but I felt like she was getting irrationally angry at her mom for not moving on fast enough. Granted, she pretty much fell to pieces and wasn't taking care of the kids, but something like that, so out of the blue and sudden, when you think you still have your whole lives together? It's got to be devastating.

I found it really sad and cried through half the book. Especially the funeral scene, when Mary Anne realizes she knew so little about Amelia and that from now she can only learn about her through others. Pretty sad stuff.

A part in the BSC #12"Claudia and the New Girl" made me cry,the part where Claudia was telling Jackie that she couldn't enter her Jackie sculpture in the show anymore.(Claud's the narrator,of course. ;D)Here it is: Jackie nodded. " You know what Claudia?" "What?" "I love you." Then Jackie wrapped his arms around my waist and I hugged him back. I was glad I'd been honest with him. A smile spread across my face as I realized something. I hadn't been baby-sitting much lately and I missed little kids. Only someone Jackie's age would hug me and thank me when I'd just disappointed them. Jackie's a very sweet kid

^ That was really sweet. Jackie is such a loving little boy. I had noticed that moment, too, and really liked it. ;D

Was in the mood for some sad books so I decided to read Karen’s Grandad and Claudia and the Sad Goodbye. Both of these almost had me in tears. I think, though, that the saddest part for me of Sad Goodbye is the part before Mimi dies. I’m not sure if this is because I know what is coming or because one of my biggest fears and the worst things for me is loosing one’s mind and usual abilities and capabilities. Also, the scene in the hospital really got to me as I can relate to how humiliating and depersonalizing hospitals can be from various times I’ve been in for surgeries and visiting family members. These books, I think, are two of the saddest for me because they remind me of when I lost my own Grandpa. Abby’s Book is also sad because it makes me think about how I would feel if something happened to one of my parents.
