When my parents told me they were so happy to see me doing well and that they felt at home in my home. 
Never happened before and they visited me loads over the years.

It was last weekend, but seeing my son in his junior high school uniform (he starts in April). My daughter telling me all the gossip from 8 year old girl land. That my cat always sprints to come sit on my knee when I sit down.

The other day after work, I couldn’t make it up our laneway after a storm as it was pure ice. We had to leave the vehicle at the bottom (my little guy was with me). I grabbed what groceries I could manage to carry. We walked up the steep, long rural laneway and both fell many times, as the entire thing was a sheet of thick, smooth ice. Frigid temps and I wasn’t dressed properly. Finally got in the house, and I made a comment like, “Phew! That was really challenging, but we made it! I could cry”… and he goes “It’s ok to cry, mum”. And that felt really great to hear, especially when several male figures in his life often say “don’t cry!”. I felt like my years of trying to show him it’s ok to express his emotions and it’s ok to cry, have gotten through to him…

That’s healthy, well-rounded masculinity. We need more of that 
My story about feels:
I’m working on a pretty big career change into an entrepreneurial venture, and some days I feel out of my depth. I worry that I can’t keep things together right, or I’ll miss something, or x, y, z… so many things. I also worry because I’m our family’s biggest income earner and I don’t want to cause problems for the family.
The other day after dinner my wife turned to me and said, “You can do it. I believe you can do it. And no matter what, we’ll figure it out,” and that just swept over me like a wave. I didn’t cry - I’ve never been a big crier; it’s not that I object to crying it’s just that I can count on one hand the number of times tears have come in my adult life - but man I did feel the feels then. I felt connected and seen and like I belonged, like I was in place, perfectly. It was the best feeling.
