Thanks Geni1,
Only thing is..I'm now seriously bawling- no fault of your's, don't worry :)
On that same page where the video is at, is also the beautiful song "Be Thou My Vision".

And, of course, I had to listen to it, because it really is a beautiful song.
The only thing is, I will never be able to hear that song without automatically thinking about two sets of twin girls that graduated together in a small school, and knew each other their entire lives. My daughters were one of the set's of twins, and the other set were just a week younger.
Kids get busy in High School, especially in smaller High schools where they are involved in everything, and especially when it's their Sr year.
"Be Thou my Vision" was the song they sang together at their graduation.
One of the girls from the other set of twins, was exhausted after their Sr trip, and her parent's took her in to have a thorough check up. Leukemia was found. They couldn't find a match for a bone marrow transplant, not even with her twin. My daughters were at the hospital when she passed away.
The tears aren't for her. It's more from knowing the special bond twin sisters have with one another. I can't help but think of the surviving twin sister (and the rest of her family) when it's their birthday, or like when the sister was married a few summer's ago. She will always miss her. Thankfully, they knew the daughter with leukemia was ready to go when the time came, and was not afraid.
Hearing the song as a reminder, is one of sadness because of memories and how much she is missed, and yet- it's one of thankfulness that in her heart, she was prepared- and we all knew it.
