Children Full of Life (4 of 5)

the letters that they wrote to tsubasa wore so beautiful :) its nice to see that they care for their friend :')

Wow...family and friendship is soo important there..I'm soo jealous...my father died when I was 5..and when I talk about him to my friends or to a classmate cuz they wanna know...they just go like "Oh...that sux...I'm sorry............SO YEA anyways" and they start talkin about themselves.......

I felt so many emotions while watching these last 4 videos on this documentary. It makes me feel so good that these children have such a great adult who can teach them to be wise and enjoy life to its fullest. Here in the u.s I feel that the young kids, teens, and adults lack all of what these kids have. The truth is, as I see it, is that we keep things hidden to long, and we have no empathy for anyone. If had a chance to have a teacher like that, I would go back in time.

those kids are so genuinely sweet, it really makes me tear up.

damn there so wise for their age :p it gave me the chills when i saw all those children giving him the letters and his mum crying... i have a friend whose mother (i dont know how too say but:) hang her self up :(

sry for the spelling (i'm dutch) :)

underdogg20: "I suppose Tsubasa's father.."

Statistics show both Japanese male, female population are longest living in the world in their category.
Just one example doesn't tell a whole story.
If a few of them die young, the rest must be living even longer to make up the statistic numbers.

We had the same experience when we were 3rd or 4th grade. We were informed by our teacher that mother of our class mate had died. I still remember the whole room turned dead silent. I felt sick in my stomach imagining it could happen to me and everybody else probably felt the same way.
The idea of losing parent, specially mother is a devastating for kids in that age.

Oh my god, this doccumentary is so sad and touching. This definately pulled some heart strings, and brought many tears. I'm compairing these wonderful, mature children to those I can remember from grade 4, I bet none of them could have given so much support or empathy to a classmate as they can. So inspiring

You Are So right, Teddyclopse. I think you just said what i have been trying to say or have been thinking for years. i wish kids in America wouldnt have to pretend to care. thanks for posting that :)
