If you grew up on Sesame Street, there aren't many things that break your heart more than watching Big Bird hold back tears at a memorial service.

Whenever Big Bird cries it literally brings me to tears even at 33 years old I miss you both

Jim Henson is an amazing human being, and puppetry and the ability to connect across ages has not been seen since he left us. Miss you so much bro!

Big Bird's version of singing Being Green is the only version that brings tears to my eyes, not only because Carol Spiiney sings it beautifully but for it was sung at Jim Henson's funeral. Even more so now that Spinney himself is gone.

On the verge of tears, he got through the song. Amazing.

I had the great experience of meeting Carol before he passed. He was as amazing as Jimmy. God bless him. He’s with Jim, and my father now. 😭💕❤️

When I first came across this I admit I certainly couldn't stop crying at that last bit where he says "Thank you, Kermit"

Thank God for Jim Henson.
His spirit goes on more than 30 (!!!!) years after he passed away with my own children. I grew up with the muppets and Sesame Street and my kids do too.

He is damn near a modern day saint.

RIP Jim Henson

You can literally hear the pain in Carrols voice as he's performing big bird and how he's holding back crying but hurting because of a loss of a friend

I will never be able to watch this without crying so hard. Jim Henson was one of my heroes growing up, and he still is.

It felt as though, bot youth, and innocent wonder, were passing away with him. Even now, at my age of 55, I get misty, when watching this. Rest in the arms of the Lord, Jim.
