Seriously, where is the tear jerker? Was it suppose to be moving in any way? It was interesting, but not tear jerking.....

I believe the tear jerker part is the fact that this wonderful man is leaving behind a wife, and three very young children.

Thanks Murph for sharing that, it was wonderful.

Tears duly jerked.
Not helped by the fact I was listening to Cancer by My Chemical Romance at the time. Honest, it just came on, I didn't choose it, but was there not a more appropriate song?
