Rachel's Birthday Video with Hugh Jackman and John Kay

[cwmarsham]

No matter how many times I see this it has me in tears I am blubbering like a baby, And believe me I have been described as a man with a heart of stone. Rachel my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. What a truly courageous man R.I.P Kristian

[GrissGarcia88]

i lov!

[sashasquashi]

My prayers go out to this family and many others who have lost their life to cancer this is beautiful !

[Ichabodkag]

2 guys has given up.

(dos personas se han rendido)

[ITRMatix]

It's a great video and a huge testimony... I'm thinkin in sharing it with the Youth Group on my church, but I need to translate it in order to make the subtitles (We speak spanish). I understand most the video but I have a problem with the phrase that the Prime Minister says. Will be a lot of help if somebody write what he says (in english) so i can translate it. Thank you.

[ScotchW10]

@ITRMatix John Kay says:

Hi Rachel, it's John Kay, Prime Minister of New Zealand here. I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday and tell you that Kristian loves you. He is so appreciative of all your support and we wish you all a very happy birthday. I’ve just had mine a few days ago, I know what it’s like to feel a year older and feel a lot wiser.

I hope that helps.

[ITRMatix]

@ScotchW10 Thank you so much. It was all I needed.

[12sydneychick]

that is so adorable :( sorry for your loss rachel he seems like a lovely man all my love and hope go to your children it would be hard for all for you:((((( i started to cry when i saw this video:((((((((((((

[ic3c0ld97]

I have watched this video over and over. Ihave cried every single time God love you Kristian. Your a great man Rest In Peace!!!! <3

[St3althN00b]

If magic was real, many people would be willing to resurrect this outstanding and courageous man, despite those guys that are heartless enough to dislike the video

[MrsEfronBelov]

He is such a beautiful, sweet man and he will always be remembered for the courageous fighter and caring lover/father that Kristian Anderson was. He has touched so many and reminded people how special life is and how we should not dwell on things so insignificant. He has taught us to live in the moment and love like there is no tomorrow

God bless Kristian and his family and may God always be watching over them and us <3 <3 <3

[starionslut]

That is soooooo beautiful. Rachel - what a amazing, caring, wonderful man you had here on earth. He will always be looking down on you and watching over you. Whenever you feel a bit down, know that he's no longer in pain and that he's always listening so talk to him hun. I've got you and your boys in my thoughts and let's find a cure for this horrible disease - it always takes the good ones. RIP Kristian you have a amazing legacy here on earth. <3

[regard60]

this has brought a 15 year old male to tears, RIP

[haroking3]

Rachel - you are truly blessed to have someone love you as much as your beautiful husband obviously loved you. I am truly sorry for your loss and your boys loss. I am so very glad I'm involved in raising funds for the Cancer Council Victoria to help fight cancer and who knows, maybe one day.... find a cure.

[scottwallis88]

this is heart breaken i havent stoped crying since i seen this that is true love always and forever will this forever be a thought there is no other way to say good bye but true love never dies .. rip Kristian..

[swimminfriek10]

I can only hope to love someone that much in my life.

[ihate40]

I need you like i need a cure for cancer! :'( broke my heart! makes us think about the little things we take for granted! R.I.P Kristian! see you in the Golden Morning!

[Rocketdogg63]

Amazing man, amazing woman - what a story of strength, courage and incredible love! I am so saddened to hear that he lost his valiant battle~ but he certainly leaves a legacy and has touched so many hearts during the struggles..... Now this is the kind of stuff I like to see on youtube!!!

[benchelt1]

My brother Charlie talked to me about Kristian at Xmas as we pulled in at Tesco's (Heswall) in the Wirral. UK.

My bro is the same age as Kristian and has 2 kids of the same age. His wife Lisa, lived in NZ for years, as did Charlie. May his legacy live on. x

[DainBramaged100]

Rest in peace,Kristian

[linhpt258]

[captainbutch]

[goofball9996]

sad to see him go, i am pretty hard guy and i made my cry

[943ilovejustinbieber]

We all love you and thats for sure. Even if we don't know you I'm sure they all still do :')

[943ilovejustinbieber]

Dx that's so sad :"( I almost cried and I'm only 10 I can't believe he passed away this morning. :"( Rip Kristian :"(

[RedKylie]

So sad to hear of Kristen's passing.. He was truly wonderful. Much love and sympathy to all his family and friends, I will never forget how much this video changed my life. Thank you!

[ScotchW10]

I am truly saddened to announce that Kristian has passed away. His wife Rachel post a great message he had written, followed by this:

"Kristian went to Heaven on 2nd of January 2012, just after 8am at Manly Hospital. His passing was truly peaceful and he had a tear in his eye as he left, and I have no doubt that he was looking on the face of Jesus."

Rest in peace, Kristian.

[lesmills123]

RIP in heaven

[kerrza1001]

R.I.P Kristen your family loved you and you love them

[msstacey249]

RIP Kristian...you were a rare, beautiful man, that blessed your wife and filled her heart xoxo Thinking of you and your family Rachel xoxo

[jeaje]

sweet sleep Kristian... angels will look after you now...

[jabangun]

RIP Kristian...

[elleonajor]

Kristian just died. He's now healthy again, in heaven. Oh, Kristian, I love you!

[chickensnowboard]

RIP Kristian :( <3

[Diane40291]

Also, if you would like to know more about Kristian and his fight, you can read his blog that he has posted since his diagnosis, just google "There is a crack in everything...that's how the light gets in." and you should find the link that way. For some reason it wont let me post the link.

[ScotchW10]

@Diane40291 Hi, I just Googled it and found it. My God. Just reading a couple of lines makes me start to cry. I don't even know him or his family, yet seeing this video last year made some sort of connection with me and that's why uploaded their video. Oh God. He's been blogging since Oct 09 and I never even knew? Oh God. When I have time, I'm gonna read it all, from the beginning. If I had money, I would give it to his wife and kids so they never have money problems :(

[Diane40291]

@ScotchW10 It is terrible to know someone like this has to suffer while there are horrible evil people who still exist and get to live long lives. I have an uncle who is currently in the same boat, he was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, they said then that he had 2-3 months. He has greatly deteriorated and it will be a miracle if he makes it past Christmas.

[UKYELSALVPARACRISTO]

@ScotchW10 : I just saw this sad news today in the local newspaper of my country and I am so touched for this video , in the meanwhile I was watching it I couldnt stop crying , I am a happy married wife and I understand how Rachael migth feel at the moment...My prayers and support are with you Rachael....As you said on twitter...he is definitely looking at you since heaven....He loves you beyond his life and he is definitely in heaven now waiting for you.

[Diane40291]

Kristian has not passed away, however, sadly at the end of October his Oncologist informed him and his family, that his treatments were not working at that there was nothing left to try. They told him that he can survive for another 3 to 6 months. Please keep him & his family in your prayers, they so desperately need them. It wouldn't hurt to pray for a miracle too!

[riahig]

Love. Its the answer. Plain simple love. We all need to get over all the judgement and crap and just remember to love everyone close o us because we never know when. Beautiful. Rachel you are so lucky to have experienced that depth of love in your life.

[MsEdwardandbellalove]

Saw this on a fanfic story I read. It's a Twilight story called "Happy Birthday Bella" by EmmaLee Masen. This is just the sweetest thing ever! Much love <3

[caijon123]

Rachel was my science teacher last year, she showed our class this. She was the best, teacher nacest teacher with an amazing husband

[WhiteLilly09]

[burbanksshortest]

Wow- truly amazing.

Kristian, best of luck to you. You and your family will be in my prayers. Don't give up!.. Remember Love conquers everything! Keep on believing. Beautiful video and beautiful family. Best wishes

[JeremyLHale]

I'm praying for you all...

[moebius2867]

Rachel, to have your husband do something like this for you, you must be a truly wonderful, caring, loving woman. A beacon of light in a truly selfish, self centred world.

[KGBLily]

Wow. Proof that there ARE amazing, soulful men out there. I hope you get better Kristian, as you are a rare, positive and shining light. Your family is truly blessed to have you, and your boys are fortunate to have such a wonderful role model for a father. A father who truly respects his children's mother, is a wonderful gift to have. Xo

[MySoxRockXD]

[nothingupthere]

i HATE how Train are making money off this video by calming the copyright, sure they have the right to the audio buts its still not right on something like this

[pamelatheobald]

@nothingupthere I agree that's it's a shame that Train either can't, or won't, donate the proceeds from the use of the song "Marry Me" to the American Cancer Society in order to further the fight against cancer. Let's hope that Train will view this video and elect to do the right thing!

[shamrocksROCSmeSOCS]

Aw... that is the cutest video!

You went through so much trouble just to tell your wife you love her!

That's sooo SWEET!

I hope you get better soon dude..... you mean everything to those around you :)
