Welcome to the club! I also remember letting the tear ducts rip when poor Aeris had the life snuffed out of her.....right in front of my eyes...while I gazed.....helplessly!! :sniff sniff: DAMN YOU SEPHIROTH!!!
However, I'd have to say the ending to Panzer Dragoon Saga is quite possibly the most devastatingly sad moment in videogame history (few moments in fiction - cinematic, literary or otherwise - can match). The Aeris murder is a distant second, followed by Meryl's death in Metal Gear Solid.
