Diego's tears is like a Crystal reflecting the past and the future, what life would be afterwards since his teachers death and at the same time remembering all the good moments and deeds with his teacher. The lad had once been rescued from a life where poverty seems Natural and violence feels legit!
Like many of us, we shed tears of pains, of sadness, of love and tears for the things yet to come. Linking Park said in a track and i quote;
Weep not for roads untraveled...weep not for sight yet unseen, cos beyond every bend is a long Blinding end and this is the worst kind of pain i know- Linkin Park; Roads Untraveled.
The little boy cried for the path yet unwalked with his teacher, the agony of how to survive the loneliness that comes with his teacher passing. It is not clear if the teacher had kids but we all could see the pains and isolation in Diego's eyes. This is gratitude disguised under the cloak of grief; just like everyone of us who had lost dears ones and the tears we had shed in secrets each time we remember those golden moments spent together that had been etched into history- Our Memories!

Flowers, the smallest of them piercing through a ground covered in pebbles gets ignored by passers by until it blossoms and the beauty attracts individuals passing bu it and each wanting to pluck it. Exactly how good memories of the past or of our loved ones that had passed away always floods back and bring tears which nobody around us might take note of.
There are tears of Sadness, tears of Joy, tears of Victory and defeat, tears of Gratefulness and tears of Guilt. I have shed tears of guilt after losing my mom and dad; so also is some of us reading this, which ever one applies to you; be happy afterwards and do not let sadness consume you as it had consumed me over 2 years after my Mother's death. But i could shed tears of joy now knowing that she is in a better place than here, and each time i remember her and be Grateful for the kind of training she had given me and my siblings.
