Writer Aaron Gillies noticed his wife, Lex, cried a lot. So he recorded all the things that made her cry, then posted the list online.

The result is a document of pure inspiration.

Seriously, y'all: these are all great reasons to cry.

A fluffy bunny escaping a fox? What sweet relief! A surprise dinner? Why, such kindness would activate even the driest of tear ducts. And we've never heard of anyone not weeping when faced with both a hangover and a tiny piglet. What do you think we are, robots?

The Internet, a place full of emotion, was very appreciative.

@TalontedLex @solopilots @TechnicallyRon my daughter-in-law cried in a teashop because 'all the pretty teapots'. We love her.

@TechnicallyRon @TalontedLex I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who cries at all the things.

Conclusions? This woman is an empathetic genius. We should all cry more. Swan love forever.

The Babadook thing was kind of mean, though. Maybe don't do that again.
