“My life, whether long or short. Shall be devoted to the service of this great imperial family, to which we all belong.” - Queen Elizabeth.
She did stay true to her word, and held it for 70 years.

This makes me cry because it reminds me of what has happened to me. Twelve years ago I promised a girl in my class I'd meet her again. She has autism and I was her only friend. Never seen her since but I'm keeping my promise no matter what. Even if I die.

1:41 this bit with the crowd singing reminds me of an old memory

There was this history teacher in our class that everyone loved and at the end of each lesson he’d play this song as we left.

About a 2 years into this school we heard in assembly that he had passed away.i kid you not the second the principal said that, we all sang this perfectly.
It sounded exactly similar to this part in the song

Goodbye mr edwinson, we will miss you 😢

This song has always touched me deeply, about 10 years ago I met a girl of Japanese descent on school, she was always very lonely, she never spoke to anyone and almost always did not participate in school groups, I took the courage to talk to her, and she told me that was never one to talk to a lot of people and she suffered a lot of pressure from her parents, since then I've been more present in her life, had lunch together, talked and I always included her in my groups if possible, despite some discussions ( like all good friendships), I always liked her shy way, when she face some problem, and wanted my help, instead of touching my shoulder or calling my name, she would look at me for a very long time until I notice her, our friendship was always the reason she never wanted to change school, the same with me, we cared about each other, but... When we went to college, like any relationship, we started to distance ourselves, she got her own group of friends, and so did I, we followed our lives naturally... It's been about 5 years since I've seen her, i miss her so much, it reminded me of the time I told her when i was little, that we would always be friends, even if i never see her again, I'm glad I caused an impact on her life, and she on mine... I hope we can meet again, someday.

My grandpa crossed the border to the U.S for a better life, only to find himself go to war.He didn't mind going, he was a brave soul who was honest.After the war, he was still intact but his mind.His mind was gone, I would hear him sing this song in Spanish in his last moment's.

Thanks Guadalupe C.
