Very sad and very beautiful message... The video is in another language, but there are English captions. It's definitely worth watching. It didn't make me cry, but it touched my heart deeply...

Edited to add that seven years later watching this again with adult children of my own now and my mother aging in her 70s, this made me cry like a baby...4/20/2021. Definitely hits different when you're in your 40s.
This is one of my favorite videos ever and made me cry like a baby the first time I saw it, because my own father abandoned me and my little brother when I was two months away from turning 12. I was in the 6th grade. My little brother had just turned 10 that October. He left that November. And he didn't just stop seeing us...he left the country with his new family back to his home country, sent us a Christmas card the next month with no return address and that was the last time we ever heard from him.
I'll never forget how my birthday was January 1st after Christmas, and not even one last birthday card for his first daughter whom he named after his mother who passed when he was 12 of Leukemia. Before he left, he was in and out of our lives from the time that I was age four, including time he spent in prison. Then we saw him every other weekend until he lost visitation.
I struggled for many years with abandonment issues and tried to find my father at age 17 by paying a private investigator, but it turned out that since he was not born in this country the social security number I had for him was useless in "his country." This was devastating for me. Later in life, however, around the time that I first saw this video I was beginning to heal from many different past traumas and sad life events from my upbringing, including the abandonment of my father.
So that's why this video really hit home and reminded me that even though I do not have my earth father I will always have my heavenly father...and no one can take that from me ever. I hope that this video touches your heart like it has touched mine...
I found this last night on YouTube and it's just so beautiful...so I had to share it. I love the photos of the lion in the beginning, because of the story behind it. Sad, yet a story of unconditional love.
The Don't Quit poem is my very favorite poem in the whole world and has been my favorite ever since I was about 20 years old, which was when it was first given to me. I have shared this with many people I know personally over the years and will continue to do so. I also blogged about it. Not here, but on one of my other blogs. It's the most beautiful inspirational thing ever. It was given to me at a time when I needed to be lifted up. May it lift YOU up too! Don't EVER Quit! No matter how bad your circumstances seem or are, mind over matter...
I can't begin to explain how beautiful this music is. Devote a quiet hour to yourself with head phones on and listen to this. It's so peaceful and serene. It brings peace and clarity. <3
