I cried at the end of a book when I was 13-14. It wasn't even a sad moment; there was a character death at the end of the same book and I didn't cry about that. It was a particularly beautiful and unexpected description of a starry sky.
I also cried while reading a poem once, for a similar reason. Tears of awe, I suppose.

When my aunt died of cancer, it didn't really hit me since I was in a different country and couldn't come to her funeral - it didn't seem real and I wasn't really sad.

I was reading a rather shitty book at the time (A is for Anything from Damon Knight), and for some reason, a character was shot in the book. That's when my aunt's death fully hit me, and I cried. We were close and she didn't deserve to die like that. She had bought a new car but couldn't drive it since the chemo made her throw up; her goal was to survive the cancer and drive the car. She never got to drive it.
Haven't picked up the book since and I'll never finish it.
