I’m just saying right now…. if you don’t want to tear up and or sob like a barrel full of bytches chopping onions, then do NOT click on this link.. DO..NOT, son!!!!
If you watch videos that are a lil emotional and you kinda tear up just a little .. just enough to say: “oh i’ve got something in my eye” and then get away with it… this is not the video for you.
If you know you are a punk-bytch softie ( like myself) and emotional scenes give you tears and snot running down ya damn face and you rock back n forth in a corner reaching for shyt that aint there… like my punk-ass… and you don’t care…. well this is the video for you.
If you want to know just how powerful brotherly love can be, watch the above video capturing an emotional and touching family reunion.
The YouTube clip, which was posted earlier this year but has recently gone viral, shows a member of the Marine Corps stationed in Afghanistan surprising his younger brother at a college basketball practice. The younger brother’s reaction is tearful and incredibly heartwarming, particularly after they explain their family history.
According to the video, Meyers and Bailey Leonard’s father died when they were children and the older sibling, Bailey, stepped in as a father figure. Their mother also faced health problems as well as financial difficulties as they entered high school.
“My brother Bailey, he’s been a big part of my life,” said Meyers, who was a sophomore center for the University of Illinois basketball team at the time of the reunion. “The bond we share is very strong.” [source]












Yeah..I know the feeling.
Good for them. Semper Fi.
It was the tinkling piano music that got me….*blows nose on sleeve*

Sweet baby, I just want to gather him to my bosom and…um you know let him cry and stuff.

Oh come now! I'm not the only one whilst tearing up that thought about making everything better for those two sweet young men. I can be very comforting.

When I was in the Corps…my mother was still working. I used to just come home and be waiting for her in the house. It was always the same reaction when she got home.
My momma used to show up at my commands… I'd get called into my CO's office and that heffa would be chillin and having tea with the Colonel n ish…
What I wouldn't give to walk into a room that my mom had taken over right now…
Bwaahhh your mom was gangster!
She was still friends with some of them even though I've been out longer than I was in. Got a sympathy card from an old CWO4 at her funeral…
She was gangsta and a completely unforgettable freaking LADY!
LOL….Thats the way mama!!! My baby is in Africa right now and I threaten him with that. Gonna look up and theres mama on an elephant coming check on you! LOL. What I wouldnt do to put my hands on that man/child. I got a year to go.
