Cried my eyes out - so sad but so beautiful also.
Dont u just hate it when suddenly ur eyes go swimming
Kamryn McNamara 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
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 😂
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...
" 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.
R.I.P Mark, you will be remembered.
Maung Cassim its fake
Almost Adulting ....Are you actually kidding me....?
thank you Mark for being a fine person. I thank you for your service . i am retired coast guard and it would have been a blessing to you Mark
I wish you a happy holiday because I know where you are
peace to you brother and your family.
Martin Pazienza You know this is a made-up story right?
Being kind and loving is the only the way to live. His heart was touched..so simple but so powerful❤️💜💙
God's gift
Just so beautiful, and kind, Mark went Home to receive the greatest reward 💝💘💞💘💝 Love.

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.
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.
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.
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.
This is truly heartbreaking I am crying so hard
Texting stories -All are fake- me too
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.
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!
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!

JRH46100 Bless You!! 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️
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
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.
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.
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.
I can't stop the tears! Rest in peace Mark, may your soul be forever in peace...
Jinx Anime one like = one pray for Mark and his friends family classmates teachers and everyone he liked 🔫🔫🔫🔫🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢☠☠☠💀💀💀🤧🤧🤧🤧
I was crying in silence, R.I.P Mark!
Rainbow Bow, You don't even know him do you?
Same
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.
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...
_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
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
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.
Beautiful story. And what a lesson to learn from Mark about humility. He was never a victim. 🌷
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 TH-cam 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.
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 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.
I hope every teacher will do this with their classes.
Just beautiful
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
R.I.P Mark.
Always make the most of time with family and friends before its to late.
True!
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 wouldn’t say heartbreaking, but rather deserving of recognition. He did his duty in Vietnam and fought for the greater good.
Rest in peace mark.
Jay Home thanks for sharing sister
I almost cried
How did you not...
Gabby Winiger i did cry
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.
@@dotdashdotdash So sorry to hear that. I hope you have managed to build a life for yourself. I often think of this poem www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48419/this-be-the-verse
Vaan ....thank you for taking tge time toturn your regrets into good....see both your parents in the eyes of others
and hear their voices in the love of all around you.....dis appointment is always about unmet, unexpressed expectations
you now have time and wisdom to voice them
and grace to understand
and bridge

and others
heartbreak
use your open, broken heart
to guide your smile
all my love
@@josephnickolick666 Thank you, Joseph. Take care xx
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..
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.
Greeting from the UK. I'm an old man with grown up children and this made me cry like a baby. I hope you will not be offended if I say Thank you for this dear sister. God bless
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 😇
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
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.
remember this folks: "tomorrow is not promised!" God Bless you Sister! Mrs. Cantrel, my 3rd grade teacher was good for me, as well.
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 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 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.
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 am now 64, but still think about some of the Nuns and lay teachers who were so kind throughout nine years of Catholic school. Thank you Sister!🙂
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.
T J same here...
T J I’m sorry for your loss :(my grandpa died because of cancer and I never got to meet him 😓
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.
Show some human feelings will you?
Experiences like this make us better than do religion, faith or any moral dogmas. What a teacher! Thank you for reminding me how important and precious our appreciation is to those around us.
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 cried
rip Mark, you would have had a great life, I wish you wouldn't have died though.
Love mark he died nowing that he served his country.
knowing*
this is me thanks
What about Chuck?
Without him the teacher would've never taped his mouth so that wouldn't have happened so
AYAY CHUCK
this is me thank you for correcting me, sister LOL
God had him now sister. Wish we had teachers like you now
His is a sad Story! What we learn from it, is kindness, caring, and thoughtfulness.
The teacher was a marvellous inspiration, the young man, never forgot!
Reminder, be thoughtful, kind, and compassionate. We Are One! ❤️🏴🇨🇦👍🏻
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?????? 😡
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
Siddhant Bhargava This happened in the 60s
Spooky yeah guess so
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 would like to Thank all my Teachers. Thank you!
RIP Mark. i know you'll be waiting for your math teacher in Heaven, with a big smile on your face, ready to talk.
Remus Lupin she better be the one talking...she abused a beautiful autistic boy with tape !!!! he forgave her...thankyou mark... 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
i'm not crying..... my eyes are just sweating from the onions that are cut in my room......:'(
We need more teacher like this. If only more ppl took the time to help somebody, it only takes a few mins of your time. Do something with the time you have while you're here. If you could just change somebody's day does alot. I've had friends have somebody that was a teacher or a neighbor or somebody they always seen at the store help them and years later find out their success was from a random person who cared and didn't have to know them and just offered their help.
This was from St. Mary's School in little Morris, Minnesota--my hometown. This message has travelled far and needs to continue. Wouldn't it be great if we ALL had to tell everyone how much they meant to us? Peace.
Why am I such a softie 😭😭😭😭😭
You never know how precious something is until you lose it...
Hmmm, sounds like the voice of experience. Peace and Love
Omg this was beautiful, sad and loving. What an Angel he is. God bless him and his family. God bless the wonderful teacher. 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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
This story is so deep and beautiful I cried A LOT
me and u both

Ok
When it started I was like, "Aw this is cute", but when it was over I was sobbing my eyes out
Kymw
No one knows just how their actions will effect another person. What a wonderful way to show children that ,no matter what happens in daily life, they are appreciated. isn't that all any of us really want?
I do every time I see or speak to them . I lost my grandfather and didnt get to tell him, I told my day I loved him and was proud of him, as well as my mom!
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.
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 ????
me ;-;
I cried a lot
As a teacher with 43 years of experience I would never threaten to tape a student’s mouth shut,that is physical abuse of a child.
What a Blessing this young man was.💝💝💝
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
I cried OMG that was so sad

Amazing. My little friend, 16 years old, lost three of his best friend in a car accident this past Saturday. Funeral is next week. So this hit home. Thanks.
I found this to be both beautiful and sad. It made me cry. Thank you for sharing this Sister.
😢 Rest in peace.
I respect you😔
(Wet eyes)
I have a friend named Marc, I will tell him this. Just hopes he doesn't cry at school
Wei Joon Lim I used to know a guy named mark, back when I was in the first or second grade. This story reminds me of when we did something like this in 7 grade...😭
Even more sad cause I relate to this...😿😭😭😭😭😭
Melody Mann ya
I'm soo sorry Mark!..May God bless your very soul forever to eternity... wonderful video, but please try to slow the print down or enlarge it because I had to watch it three times before I knew what happened. Thanks for sharing this wonderful but heart-wrenching tearful story of Mark!
Wei Joon Lim I cried too
My Name Is Marc...
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 🙂
So rare we are kind to one another anymore.
You made me cry. What a powerful lesson. Teacher .
This is sad but shows an important message
I started to cry when I watched this!!!!
The rain...tears from Heaven!
thats a really nice way to think about it
Mark and his teacher just taught me what life is. Tears a flowing down my cheeks. Love has many stories but none like this. OMG this really came home and woke me up. Life will be better.
This is vey emotional especially when it said the he died I just thought of "Thank you sister"
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.
wow, now that IS a teacher worth remembering! sad, but still beautiful.
People have such great imaginations. Great tearjerker!
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.)

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.
