about a man shedding tears, especially with a situation of this kind. Crying is human, we all do it, otherwise it might be like the female monthly thing... which is something men naturally don't do.

Go ahead, it's a part of healing too.


Edit: And if you were watching closely you would have seen that the pres was crying when he read those names aloud too.

"I knew Noah very well. It’s always the ones getting in trouble that you learn and remember their names! I taught Noah for 3 years. He always had something to tell me (can we do the bear one again today?) and tried to hug me after class (we do a ‘group hug’ where everybody hugs themselves so that everybody gets a hug and we don’t have chaos. Noah was one of the ones who would run up to me anyway)"
