Aww, I know the horror of dealing with someone crying on the phone. It's really hard for me because I'm not good at comforting people with words, yet it's my only option on the phone. Once I was just casually talking to my online lover that I'm not dating but have a very strong relationship with (probably going to date again). Anyway, the fact we live far away has always been a big deal to him. He desperately wants to meet me and see me, but we're too young. We were talking about how badly we want to meet each other when all of a sudden I heard sniffling. As we continued talking, he started gasping, his voice was cracking, and his voice was high pitched. I felt so sorry for him and it made me want to be there with him even more. I really couldn't say anything but "It's okay, one day we'll be able to meet each other" and stuff like that. I was obsessing about the situation all week after it happened, it definitely left a mark on me.

I finally met my friend after the death of her father. She is not the crying type but when she told me about what happened in detail she had to wipe her eyes and her nose several times. She is one of those persons who let their glasses on their noses when crying and afterwards the glasses are smeard and have to be taken off anyhow to be cleaned.
