The gratitude he has for his teacher and the respect just brings a teary smile to my face.

Every time I see this video posted, I have to stop and rewatch it. The pure respect and admiration this gentleman has for his teacher...the silent joy when he realizes who it is ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Same, I’ve been on Reddit since the year this video was first released (2010) and I have stopped to watch it every single time it comes around. Some reposts are worth reposting.

Agreed! Possibly my favourite video ever on this subreddit. I always watch and upvote it every time it’s posted. Can’t get enough of it.
