Cried my eyes out - so sad but so beautiful also.
Dont u just hate it when suddenly ur eyes go swimming

Yomna Hamisa, my stomach is swimming, or is is my heart?
Kamryn McNamara My Tears were swimming I was like: Are there some onions cutting *looks at Corner* dang some darn Onions I am crying 😂
_This is one of the few comment sections where I can say I'm proud of my generation😢_
I agree
BTS MADE ME BALD are you proud of bad grammar and dumb comments?
BTS MADE ME BALD so am I
He died in Vietnam!! The story is old!! Very sad but a generation gone by
BTS MADE ME BALD Yeah.... this generation is actually half and half, in my opinion. Half of us try our best, constantly discouraged by the fact that people expect us to be nasty little brats. Know why? The other half of us gets more attention. It's sad. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. How can I possibly amount to anything, do anything, _be_ anything, if every good thing I do goes unnoticed.... and the one moment, the one moment I slip, I get screamed at, hatred shoved in my face, my existance's importance questioned. Truly, truly, - I suppose it means we must try all the harder, if not for ourselves, then for others just like us in the way that they are great people, hidden and burried by the avalanche of garbage that takes up a huge small half of our generation.
OK IT WAS SUCH A SERIOUS MOMENT, I WAS THINKING QUITE DEEPLY INTO THE MATTER, BUT THEN I READ YOUR USERNAME AND SNORTED
" In life, it's so easy to forget about what's important...... so don't...."
well said, very well said.
I am a High School Senior advanced math teacher and after watching this do this on the 2nd to last day of school every year.
My 7th grade Latin teacher had “Journal Time” in her class every week. She’d put a phrase in Latin on the board, translated to English, and ask us to write about what it meant personally to us. She wouldn’t read it if we asked her not to, but otherwise would read every single person’s journal and write a reply to them. I always wrote on subject because they were so interesting, except for one time I was hurting because the kids were giving me a hard time earlier that day and wrote about that. I remember she said she was sorry that they were doing that, I didn’t deserve that, and that she couldn’t tell me who because of the confidentiality on the journals, but one person in the class often wrote about how I refused to let my classmates change me even though they gave me a hard time and I stuck up for other people I saw getting bullied even though I knew it meant they’d then focus on me. This person wished they could do what I did and thought I was very brave-and she my teacher-thought so too.
That meant the world to me. I still have that journal among my special things.
Aww that’s nice
😂🎁
I'm in 7th grade to and I'm learning Latin as well
This is beautiful. I cried..So much. Even if you don't like someone who talks way too much, You'll end up seeing them in the future and regret that time you hated them. Life is a journey.
You are right fluffy unicorn
⌈Fluffy Unicorn ⌋ I like someone that talk a lot
⌈Fluffy Unicorn ⌋ One of the best things I've ever heard someone say
⌈Fluffy Unicorn ⌋ that's why I don't get close to teachers
But She didn't hate him.
Being kind and loving is the only the way to live. His heart was touched..so simple but so powerful❤️💜💙
God's gift
When I was in Vietnam, I knew a guy who was killed in action. He reminds me so much of the student in this story. He was from a small town in Alabama, so I'm certain it wasn't the same person. But you never forget people like that.
I was born in Vietnam-
@Ali Aoi Wow, how amazing! You were born in a decently populated country? How special!
@@TheUnderscore_ thank you
JRH46100 Bless You!! 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️
I was expecting the teacher to say something like “thanks for teaching me, brother” at the end! Plot twist for me but a lovely story
Jake Low Oh wow that's the exact same thing I thought! Which was why it wasn't as sad for me as it was supposed to be.. Still pretty sad though.
(No, no, I'm not crying. It's just raining on my face!)
I did too. And I think someone was cutting onions outside my door during the video!
Jake Low this is like a try not to cry challenge
Jake Low You do realize this is fake
Jake Low
that's so precious and pure- I don't think I've read anything sweeter and sadder
ThunderMist 36 well I hate the teacher for saying socialising as a social being is wrong!
Digital ZASC maybe but the story as a whole is still quite nice
is it though?
i haven't either i very nearly cried and if i was by my self there would have been flood warnings on tv
its not that sad.
Always say “I love you “ when saying good bye to those who are close to you. You never know, it could be the last time you see them.
But no homo do
Especially...................when arguing with someone. If you really love a person, that love is still there when you are angry. Before you part ways--always verbalize that!!!
@@marionfrix3508 very sad!
Shawne Harmer That is the Truth! Do not hold a grudge to family, or friends, be better than that! ....Life is too short for holding grudges, show your Love where it counts! ❤️🤗👍🏻
You are right my late oldest sister would squeeze the breath out of you hugs and tears. We do not say Goodbye we say Bye for now.
So why put a picture and advertisement over the words at the end? It ruined it.
Will someone please show what was hidden bt the image?
I kno right, damn annoying that was
I know, i was like"what the hell??,why would they put advertisements for other video's over the video that I'm trying to watch"
What a Crock.
I thing it says, “So protect the people you love and ca---- that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.
If you touch the screen the pictures go away and you can read the last few words.
R.I.P Mark, you will be remembered.
Maung Cassim its fake
Almost Adulting ....Are you actually kidding me....?
As a high school teacher of over thirty -plus years, I appreciate this story. Young men and women are so very special, and give so very much to their teachers when asked to do so. My life was made better by their gifts, thank you for sharing this story.
Extremely sad to have read this...Rest in Paradise, Mark. I am just so surprised, no one ever said anything to the teacher, it is WRONG, who the heck was she to put tape over his mouth...that's just not right. More meaningful to me, about this story, is that Mark obviously looked past the incident and has more integrity than this teacher. A hero, not only for serving our country, but also, for keeping his composure to never be disrespectful to the teacher, but for being strong against being humiliated and even a form of abuse. God bless you, Soldier...
I lost my best friend in a house fire when I was in grade 7. I wasn’t allowed to go to his place for the weekend and I have always wondered why and how things happen. This video breaks my heart. A real friend is worth more then anything in the world.
Jesus is the very best frie d you can have, He will never leave you Nor Forsake you, He will stand closer than a brother, Amen!
God Bless Mark for his service to protect and keep our country and all the people who live in it free and safe from all who want to do us harm.May Mark Rest In Peace In Heaven with God and all his Angel's which Mark is one and now Mark you can talk all you want for eternity.THANK YOU MARK for your selfless sacrifice for all of us May God bless you and welcome you in to Heaven with open arms and keep you safe.Amem.
Did anyone else cry a little??
I didn't , but the comment section says many did
Umm yes!!! I have big fat crocodile tears coming down my face right now!!!
+BloodDemonRose •v• crocodile tears ????

I cried a lot
I heard this story in fifth grade right before everyone in the class made our own lists. We did it differently by passing papers around the room that had a classmate's name on it. We did this on a Friday when a substitute was in the class with us. I didn't get to all of them and some of them were hard to write positive things on because I had a negative relationship with them. I still did my best and I regret that I didn't keep my list. I had planned to keep it but I soon lost it. I don't remember what it said on the list but I do remember how good it made me feel. It was one of the best days of my life. I always believed the teacher in the story to my fifth grade teacher but now I'm not so sure. I hope it is though because it makes her more amazing than I already thought she was the way she could influence so many people like that.
Pixiewings 6253 We did the same thing. We also drew our hands on the paper with our name before letting others write messages. I was missing at school that day but one of my classmates decided to take another sheet of paper, drew a heart on it and sent it around the room with my name so I could have my own list as well. One of the nicest things anyone ever did for me, really.
What is up with the people that gave this a thumbs down? I don't understand.
So do I
Opinions
An ad popped up and I couldn't read the ending. I kept trying to get around it with no success.
perhaps something in someone's life was too big, too heavy to handle; for this moment. And I hope and pray that it will become bearable and enlightened and maybe turn into good memories and life.
This is silly music and just pure emotional manipulation. That's why.
Just so beautiful, and kind, Mark went Home to receive the greatest reward 💝💘💞💘💝 Love.

Martin Pazienza You know this is a made-up story right?
When i was in 4th grade my teacher told us this and we did this i still have my paper in my room
Ashley Flores I have mine too
Ryan Brennan you guys in the same class or somethin?
awesomemanb3 No it is just a common thing apparently 😂
so good
I have tears in my eyes. I remember my loving and wise school teachers and the ones who hurt us with their ignorance. Teachers are REALLY important.
I was once told by a teacher that we are like a boat moving up a river. Everything up front shows no sign of our passing, but behind us, the wake has an impact of the shore line, setting things rocking He said that life is a lot like that, we never know what impact we have of things around us, but beware, we always make an impact - I've never forgotten that bit of philosophy
This is an amazing analogy and the one I needed to read tonight as for some reason I have been crying non stop for last hour
@@moniquevandeplas5210 I hope you feel better :)
@@ashyokami9065 the funniest thing is my so, mom, and I were hugging the dog earlier. My son said she was adorable. I said yes like a furry potato with eyes. He said that was a bad analogy. I said it was because as soon as I saic it I saw a flurry potato with eyes. My son said potatoes have eyes and I said no what i saw was like human eyes and I imagined this furry potato staring at me with human eyes holding a knife and saying you think you want go eat me huh? It is so uncanny that tonight of all nights about an hour after this you reply. Yes i feel better. My imagination is coming back for sure anyway.
The ending made me cry because I usually fight with my mom a lot and I don’t say “I love you” much. My mom was at the supermarket and as soon as she came back I hugged her. This video reminded me that one action can make a big difference. Thanks for making this video :) god bless you world, mom and dad, everyone in the comment section, brothers and sister, and God bless my family. When I say “Family” I mean everyone.
What a beautiful speech.😊😊😊😌😌😌
Please, I'm really curious to her reaction. I'd be so happy, i wouldn't know how to react. So it has me curious
Wow u r as amazing as ur speech ur mom will always love u
Magestic Lps Angel I never told my mom I loved her I was always hanging out with friends she died in her sleep... I was 14
thank you for sharing that sister.
(unnecessary gasp). Did you just assume their gender?!?
Madison Quinn As a school boy, Mark referred to the teacher as Sister. Maybe a nun. Holy water was used at the funeral. Catholic School.. maybe.
Why did this make me cry more!! 😭

Minty Moon123 awwww! Don't cry, cinnamon roll
Some fifteen years ago, we went through this exercise at an eating disorder clinic. I still have my lists with me and will have them the rest of my life.
I wish I had done this when I was teaching! What a wonderful idea and a blessing to her students!
I assume you mean the letters and not the tape. Also, kids are not taught respect these days. It would be much harder to do now. People would write hateful things. Adults should have the brains to do it now...write letters to those you love and appreciate and tell them what you like, value, appreciate.....and leave out anything and everything negative. Just tell them what you'd like them to know if you didn't see them again.
I had a teacher have our 6 grade class do this.except she had us put the paper in our our back and we walked around writing on each other's backs. I still have mine. I'm 49.
Donna Cox we did that in acting class last year
@@user-rb9hx2ip7x shouldn't you show a little grace instead of being nasty & spoiling a lovely comment!
@@user-rb9hx2ip7x Maybe english isn't his first language, no need to be rude.
This has to be one of the *most* beautiful things, that I think I have, and will, ever read. The world needs more people like these. We all need them, mire than we think.
Well... for what it is worth now. I fell out with my family around twenty five years ago. Totally ignored them. When I found out that my dad had died, I pushed it aside and never attended the funeral. Two years later, my mum died. I loved my dad but never had any sort of relationship with my mum. She made it quite clear she disliked me because I had distanced myself from the family. However, the mutual ill feeling went way further back than that.
I am now back in touch with my lovely brothers and sisters and could not be happier. But I so regret not saying goodbye to dad. Perhaps I could have built some sort of relationship with mum, but it may have been a false facade for other people. The point is, I missed the chance to see dad before he died and say how much I loved him. Don't take the present for grated. It doesn't last and the future will be full of regrets. Have a nice life people x
I'm crying... this story reminds me of grandpa... who passed away 3 years ago...
Some of us have had no choice but to remove our ‘parents’ from our lives, sometimes they are actively planning to end our lives and fleeing becomes a matter of life or death. That is my story.

This was a beautiful video, it has a very true moral
TheRobloxMoose 1845 Teachers arent there just to teach you. They are the ones that make an impact on the rest of ur life.
I never met this young man but this killed. Couldn't stop crying. This opened a wound about my cousin who went to Vietnam and came back different. We lost track of him because he moved to California. Many years later my aunt hired a detective found out he died out there with no family.Even now it hurts. This beautiful video hurts too. GOD BLESS THEM BOTH.And all the military men + women out there.
I hope every teacher will do this with their classes.
Just beautiful
I was crying in silence, R.I.P Mark!
Rainbow Bow, You don't even know him do you?
Same
Rip mark beautiful video I cried
Shirley Oliva I cried to
Spoiler
I go to saint mary's...
you're not the only one that cried
Is this a real story? Some parts seem kinda fake.
remember this folks: "tomorrow is not promised!" God Bless you Sister! Mrs. Cantrel, my 3rd grade teacher was good for me, as well.
Go and see loved ones while you can. Because you never know when the “last time” is going to be the “last time”. I know from experience.
How it sad
I would stop and see my dad every day after i left my job. ONE day I made my usual visit when Ito leave started I thought I should tell him I love you dad but in a hurry to get home didn't. The neat day I found him dead he was 82 years old and I thought "In all those years I never told him I love you dad" now 20 years later it still haunts me. Just the words {I love you could mean so much don't wait to say them. Not only was he my he wast my best friend.
Old Guy I’m so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you loved him with all your heart, I believe he would still live on in here *motions to your chest*. I lost my granddad over 20 years ago and it still hurts when I think about him and everything he taught me, like how to tie a Bowline knot, how to draw a house in detail. But I take solace in the fact that he watches me from above 😇
I know how you feel about mark. I had to attend a funeral for my great grandpa. he died last Sunday. I miss him so much.
Kayla Kauchis I made my own funeral for my bearded dragon cus he died
My last words to him was "Are you still alive?"
I am very sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry... Just stay strong and push away everything that comes hurtling towards, I always tell myself this, and I hope you can take my advice...
I am sorry to hear of your loss, I know what it is like.
This is truly heartbreaking I am crying so hard
Texting stories -All are fake- me too
I think Mark is one of those people. Who is just so full of life? And joy and happiness. He obviously appreciated everything he had. And he always remembered. I'm kept that paper. Because it meant so much to him. . God bless you mark.
That was so moving. It rained the day my dad passed away, and I believe it’s a sign from heaven. A sign that God has not forgotten the loved ones left behind. I believe Mark is happy, and well now.
R.I.P Mark.
Always make the most of time with family and friends before its to late.
True!
This story is so deep and beautiful I cried A LOT
me and u both

Such a wonderful story of A very special young man it's extremely sad and my heart goes out to his family,
Although the pride they must feel for their son must be enormous, may God bless Mark and keep him safe, he lives on in heaven knowing how much he was loved and still is , and thank you teacher for that important lesson.
Don't be afraid to tell the ones you love
That you love them , the world will be a happier place for it.
I can't stop crying now after reading this, goes to show that you have one life and to live it accordingly to God's plan. :-'(
Taping a student’s mouth is a child abuse. This nun should go to jail.
I think I've heard this story before, in Sunday school when I was a kid. I didn't quite get its full impact at the time, but when I watched this video I actually cried. I almost never cry at CZcams videos, but the teacher is right-if you see good in someone, you should let them know. It's like a fortune cookie I got one time, saying, "Compliment three people every day." This turns out to be a bit more of a challenge than I thought it would be, but making kindness a daily practice is good for the soul. Especially if you mean it.
Thank for Sharing. God Bless the Teacher for her ,Heart and soul by Teaching Goodness to her Students.
RIP Mark ,Txs for Your Service As Well . As Well As Mark's Family, you Raised him With Goodness in his Heart.
Great way for Fellow Classmates,For There Kindness . For All the,Stuff in Exercise of this Story. Of course,Teacher as Well. God Bless you,All.♡☆♡
Carmen Dawn Allan bless mark
But don't say God bless her if she dared to do something rude like taping a boy's mouth like a hostage!! Weird, who would do that? Also, his full name is Mark Eklund
I don't believe in god
Sydney Lewis Welp, I'm outta here.
Christy Wong UGH YOU KNOW SHE TOOK OFF THE TAPE?????? 😡
Well, that just sucked a tear right out of my eye! What a gift!
The last couple of years of my mother's life, she was in her nineties, I figured out why she was so critical of me; ugly neck, nose too big, shame you missed that you would have made 100, etc. The only compliments were quotes from other people. "Mrs Caudell said she enjoyed the song you sang in church yesterday." I figured out when I wasn't with her she could imagine I was the daughter she wanted but when I was with her she could see I wasn't. All she saw were my flaws, the ugly daughter she got stuck with. In spite of the pain and betrayal of seeing I had been a motherless child I made a point of thanking her for the things she did that I appreciated. She couldn't grasp them it is a great comfort to me I told her. I didn't expect in the middle of a painful relationship that trying to compliment and appreciate her I would get a benefit. Reading this I see the small appreciations, compliments need to be everyday for especially friends and families. It can make or break a life.
In the sight of God, you are perfect.
Thanks for sharing what must've been a painful experience for you. As the previous poster stated, you are perfect in God's sight. I believe your attitude and the wisdom you've shown helps us see some of that perfection too!
As I am reading this a year later, I truly hope you are having a good life,and realize that you are important and you are loved. No child should ever have to go through that!!☺️
This reminds me of my grandpa. I never saw him,he died before I was born. I wish I could meet him. I just want to tell you that you are special, amazing, important and and amazing.

Rest in peace mark.

Oh my gosh.. this brought tears to my eyes. Bless the teacher for making the students feel happy about each other, and helping them keep going in life. Mark has shown to be a wonderful man, and shouldn't have been killed in another rich mans' war.
Thank you for sharing that, Sister..
This is one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. My prayer is for this young man's family and his teacher and friends to continue to be blessed by God, Mark and this story. To many were forgotten by our country and so many were abused. May God bless you all!

This was so nice, R.I.P Mark. Bless the teacher the parents and the classmates. I'm sorry for your loss all of you
I know this story is only based but it is beautiful
My teacher told us a story about her teaching 9th grade back then, she said there's always one student who falls asleep every time. Each day, the student always falls asleep whenever she teach the class. And at the time she had enough, so what she did was that every students will go out except for him (the student who fall asleep). And at the same time when he woke up, he noticed that all of his classmates are gone except him and my teacher. So he told my teacher what happened and my teacher was dissapointed at him and said "I told them to go out so that they will not interfere your 'beauty sleep'. At that statement, He knows that my teacher is mad at him because of him falling asleep all the time. But then he told my teacher of why he always fall asleep.. He said Its because his drunk Father always beat him up every night and blaming him for their divorce when he didn't even know why his mother leave him and his father..
He couldn't sleep in that situation. So my teacher understand that situation and also noticed some bruises in his arm. Later on she doesn't mind him fall asleep in his class anymore, she helps him learn when its free time, in fact she gave him food when its lunch/recess time because sometimes, he didn't ate breakfast.. And guess what? He graduated and still remember my teacher and sometimes visit my teacher.
He said she is his favorite teacher and the best teacher he ever had!!
Till this day she still teach!
Basically she is my favorite teacher because she loves me and she gave me gifts every christmas!!
(i'm sorry for a long story and wrong grammars tho)
Some teachers are priceless.
Butterfly Life 💕
That's a safeguarding issue! The teacher should've told the safeguarding officer and got him out of that house! Maybe it might've been awhile ago, but the bruises and his confession of abuse, something should have been done to get him out of that situation and in a safe place. Anyways, I hope he's living somewhere else and not with his father.
Thank you XXX
@@henna6549 i was thinking the same thing, i don't know why my teacher did not call the police but for his bruises, my teacher said its only a little bruises and its not noticeable...
Beautiful story. The best teachers and the things they teach us are never forgotten.
😢 Rest in peace.
I respect you😔

I have a friend named Marc, I will tell him this. Just hopes he doesn't cry at school

One of my friends passed away recently due to an asthma attack. I met her this year in high school. She was so funny and kind to everyone. I should’ve told her how much I appreciated her and how much I loved her. I realized that anyone can die any day. This video was truly beautiful. We all should appreciate the ones we care for now before it’s too late.
Im so sorry i know how you fell
My cousin died of an asthma attack so I can sympathize
Kaiasque I cried while reading your comment
I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.
Wonderful video
I'd like to think that when it rains at a funeral it means the person who died made it to heaven
female blueberry #1 what about sunny days....
female blueberry #1 that would explain why rain is a cliche setting for a funeral
Helloitz nicole sunny day might mean that they came back and r not ready to go to heaven like they get another chance before they go.
That is a very sweet idea. R.I.P Mark 😔
Helloitz nicole sunny days....... There were probably reincarnated.
I cried as I smiled and thought of all the saintly Sisters I had in school. May God bless each one of them.
My heart.. I'm crying so hard.. I wanna hug them all
Usually that threat is metaphorical. And illegal
Sky Cat he died in Vietnam because he was a soldier and had to go there to fight, not because he lived there

Spooky yeah guess so
You never know how precious something is until you lose it...
Hmmm, sounds like the voice of experience. Peace and Love
Wow. You must have been an inspiration to the whole of your class, for them all to have kept their lists. How lovely to hear the good things people do, all too often, kindness is not recognised, the joy you brought your students is clear to see. Thankyou. It gives me so much hope for the future of my grandchildren and I truly hope they are all lucky enough to have a tutor as kind and caring as you. Thankyou xxx
We all need to feel better about ourselves and congratulate ourselves on our accomplishments instead of feeling bad about the things we didn't accomplish
Um I wasn’t crying... there was just someone cutting onions... in my room... in the middle of the night...
FINE I WAS CRYING
smol bean it is in the middle of the night and I saw this and was crying
IKR xD
You literally just described my life rn
smol bean haha lol
smol bean Trust me we all were
Omg my teacher did something like this 2 times each end of the year. She said to write our names on a sheet of paper and our classmates would write something nice about us on our paper with our name on it as we passed it all around the classroom. This story was still so sad. I cried. 😭
ChimChim Jams I remember in primary my teacher said to write something nice about your classmates and give it to them😀 everyone did as they were told they wrote stuff on thier piece of paper and give to each other😊i give mines to everyone but I never got anything
Read top comment. Please. It is important.
And, please at least share it a little bit..
ChimChim Jams my teacher too. But then one person drew a picture of a guy pointing a gun at someone and it was like pay attention to the picture so I think that person wants me dead and I threw the paper away.
ChimChim Jams same omg i did that too
That is Beautiful! We need more teachers like this who teach from their heart!
Thank you teacher for sharing!
Tell each dog you own this as well... that you love them and will protect them. Even if they are hard to love, you are responsible for protecting them. And you will always remember it...
I wish I could cry, but unfortunately that right is reserved for close family members
Real closed heart you have there. It reminds me of when I ran a daycare. One of my workers dad, who was a Sheriff's deputy, would come in at lunch everyday, AND EVERYDAY, kids would run up to him hugging on him, trying to get his attention (because at their very young ages they actually still looked up to cops), and EVERYDAY, he would push them away, saying things like, "GET AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T LIKE KIDS UNLESS THEY'RE MY OWN grandkids!" So he'd push them away hollering at them, and then scoop up his own grandkids. After he made one of the little ones (3 years old) cry, I told him he was "banned from the property until he LEARNED how you treat people, let alone kids"! I never liked him anyway, as it was a church daycare and he was unfortunately part of the congregation. I couldn't keep him from going to church but I COULD AND DID keep him from coming up to the daycare on a weekday when the church was closed off and the daycare was open. Not a good example of empathy OR LOVE toward others who AREN'T "reserved for close family members".
exhaustedbean #33 sameeee except for me crying is reserved for anyone I care about.
What the hell dude.

It's very true to care and say you love your family/friends before it's too late. The future holds many things, which bring death or happiness. You never know what's going to happen next. One moment you think you know everything that's going to happen and the next, your clueless. Bad things can happen and you won't predict it. So it's important to love your family/friends when you have the chance because, you don't know what gonna happen next. :) ^-^ :D
Anything that offended anyone in my statement, I apologize for it. I don't mean it, I just mean to speak my mind without hurting anyone or anybody. :)
Potato gurl yea what kind of teacher would do that
Wrong comment but it is true that you don't know what will happen I am 1 of 2 so twins and if my brother Ryder died It would remain my life cuz we love each other and we nether fight
Potato gurl I'm not saying it to my dad he abused me
This made me think of everyone I have lost, whether it be friends who moved away, or dead family, and what my favorite thing about them was..😔

Omg this was beautiful, sad and loving. What an Angel he is. God bless him and his family. God bless the wonderful teacher. 🙏🙏🙏
So heartbreaking and sad. It reminds me of my aunt Karen who passed away a couple Januaries ago.
She had a stroke while she was in the doctor's office. She was fine for several days after that, but then she suddenly got very sick. She died a few days later. Me and my parents had visited her a couple weeks before she died. We had driven all the way up from Florida. I assumed she would recover and I would see her again during the summer, but when I heard that she had passed away, I was devastated. I realized after that that you really do have to enjoy the time you have with loved ones. Because, you really don't know when you could lose them.
K. Smith So true! I'm really sorry for your aunt! I hope you have gotten over the crushing misery..😖 I'm going to cherish my time with my dear ones.. Because they could be gone in the blink of an eye.
And please excuse my English, it's not my first language 🙂
Why am I such a softie 😭😭😭😭😭
I've seen this same exact story and many versions one someone was killed in Vietnam or killed in a car accident or killed by cancer and I think it's very nice that people want to make others feel good.
Joyful yet teary-eyed a heartwarming story.
just what I needed tonight
Myrtle Hinesmon Yes, exactly what I thought after viewing this video. After a really difficult day in my room at the nursing home where I am spending my last days. Today was such a painful day that it took effort to remain kind to my caregivers. They are always so gentle with all the patients and I try to be one of the less troublesome. Sometimes it takes involving yourself in someone else’s story to help you get through your own. The Sister reminded me of my late husband’s aunt who was a retired Mother Superior when we married. He told of her kindness and her way of finding unique ways to solve problems. I don’t think it’s something they are taught, rather it’s something within them when the are called to serve. Thank you for sharing.
Mark was a Sacrificial person I so wished he could have lived his life for a long time. I cried my Eye's out. Rip Mark your mother truly raised a beautiful young man.
I cried so much, that was a brave and beautiful thing to share with world, thank you.
I haven't cried like this for a long time, probably the last time was when my dad was posted to Dubai for 7 months. (he's in the Australian air force)
Frost wolf44 I’m so sorry!I hope he’s okay.
Thank you for your service dear Brother Mark!😘 I love you!!😘😘
This video was played today for the Combat Trauma Support Group, Northport VA (LI, NY) to 15 Vietnam combat veterans. To say that it was well received would be an understatement.
A profoundly beautiful video. God Bless you, Sister.
I cried
rip Mark, you would have had a great life, I wish you wouldn't have died though.
Sister Helen Mrosla, a Franciscan nun, submitted "All the Good Things" to Proteus, A Journal of Ideas in 1991. Her article also appeared in Reader's Digest that same year, was reprinted in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul book in 1993, and was offered yet again in 1996's Stories for the Heart.
Sister Mrosla first met Mark Eklund in her third-grade classroom at St. Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota, in 1959, and she encountered him again in 1965 when she served as his junior high math teacher. In April 1971, Mark was sent to Vietnam and assigned to the 585th Transportation Company in Phu Bai where he worked in a truck parts depot, and he kept in touch with his family and friends (including Sister Mrosla) through letters. In August 1971, as she was returning from a vacation, Sister Mrosla learned of Mark's death from her parents. (Although he died in Vietnam, Mark Eklund was not killed in combat -he died in his sleep of a pulmonary and cerebral edema.)
oof
