I'm not crying it just a Unity's Particles System

[rashid]

This made me cry, this was literally me sitting next to my brother in hospital for 6 months. He beat cancer and healthy now, thank God.

This was my 3 yr old daughter trying to understand what was happening when I had cancer, and how she helped me beat these odds: 8% chance on surviving as long as 9 months. That was 22 years ago. She’s still my hero.

This applies to so many situations: pregnancy, babies, people in a coma, etc. When you think they can’t hear you, they can, so talk to them, interact with them, do to speak, it does wonders to the brain. Never underestimate its power

As a father of a 3 year old daughter I can tell you this: I can imagine enduring ANYTHING other than having to watch my baby suffer or lose her, God forbid. My deepest sympathies to those who go through it.

My son suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage a month ago
I spent three weeks in icu watching his brain spasm and seizure over and over
He heart stopped and had to be revived multiple times
We were told multiple times that all extreme measures had been taken and there was nothing else to do
Yesterday he was taken off the respirator and sat in a chair all afternoon
He told his wife last night he loved her
Don't stop believing
Never give up hope
Especially when all hope seems to be lost
Never give up

After a month he is

Besides storytelling, music is the 2nd thing that leads our emotion. The music is brilliant!

My grandma suffered from cancer. For 5 years she fought like a lion, she was so brave and strong and funny and could deal with litterally anything. She always knew what to do, anways understood people to the core of their heart. The doctors said that they expect her to last a year or two, but she was so strong she succeeded to live for the next 5 years. At the end she was in a really bad condition and couldnt wake up, and was kind of sleeping deeply at the verge of death.
Then my father, her son, sat next to her. He said "hey, mom, wake up" in a really soft voice and she actually woke up. Everyone was in shock to see it. My father and grandma talked for a long two hours, and she said she was tired of it, and that after long five years she gave up. Then she told him that she was tired and wanted to sleep for a bit. That was their last conversation.
I love her so much. She was an amazing woman. May her rest in peace.

I've watched a video about someone who were in a coma for 3 years. She said that while in coma, she is dreaming things depend on what she hears and on her environment. When she hears her mom, her mom is in her dreams. When it is cold, she dreams she is sitting infront of a snowy mountain.

I think this is how it felt like :)

[biancaekeocha]

Watching this on father's day of 2022 and I am moved to tears. Some fathers are extraordinary, God bless them.

This film makes us realise how important some people in our lives are :

[triparnabasak]

Whoever behind this film, lots of love and best wishes to all of them.

[solkutter]

It's unbelievable how a CGI short film can touch you. 😭

[navodayan]

No more words..this made me cry... really I wish to all of them whoever behind this anime...

[cyohe]

This was incredible! I felt so many emotions while watching this. My mom had Dementia & music was her joy. She could no longer play so I was teaching myself. She really liked that. I miss her so much.

[NadDew]

Please don't judge the people who dislike the video, they actually intend to press like but they couldn't see from the tears of there eyes.
