Oldest Man Meets Newest Baby

a healthy dose of optimism for your day

Here you go. A Coke commercial that will make you cry. In a good way, of course. Except if you’re a man and you are silly enough to think there is no “good way” to cry. Either way, watch!

I’m bawling. How wonderful!!

 

ok, that was beautiful and inspiring!  This is why I love the elderly - they are truly wise!

 

That *did* make me cry!

 

Yup…That’s a tear jerker!  <sniff-sob-sniff!>.

I think it is that light-hearted, positive outlook on life, that really can extend the number of years one lives.

What I would love to know, though, is how much Coke that 102 year old man really drank in his life. Because really,... that stuff is just BAD for you!

 

Okay…. okay…. so maybe I just have something in both my eyes at the same time! How sweet. How tender. Perhaps my first 500 years of heavenly assignment will be to visit all the delivery suites just as the old man did in the commercial.
Life…. what a gift! Thank you Lord. dt

 

Wow, It didn’t make me cry, just wonder at what time of day that was aired.  It also made me glad I didn’t click play with my small children nearby, as it provided a bit too much information on childbirth!

 

Really, Anita? Your comment made me go back and watch it again. the only childbirth “information” I saw was that babies come from mothers. Nothing graphic at all.
