HEARTWRENCHING

Read This Teen's Essay About Her Mom That Has Everyone Ugly Crying On TikTok

Annie Johnson

A teenager's heartbreaking essay has gone viral, leaving TikTok users sobbing.

At age 18 Ryan Harmann wrote a gut-wrenching piece after losing her mother to cancer. Harmann shared the beautiful piece on her TikTok this week, saying it "made her English professor cry." Well, now we're all crying.

The TikTok video has been viewed almost seven million times and racked up more than one million likes, despite just being screenshots of the essay. We've transcribed them all here for easier reading.

It was May of 2022, when my life was supposed to be at its peak, until one day it wasn't. I had high school graduation and senior week at the beach with my graduating class. I was starting my adulthood and my college career and I couldn't have been happier. In January of 2021, my mom got diagnosed with Sarcoma Cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments. From the day she was diagnosed, she lost a different part of her life everyday. She was strong, resilient, loving, caring and most of all the best mom anyone could ask for. She never asked the doctors for a time expectancy, she wanted to live the best she could with her three children and her husband. My mom had a goal from the start, to watch me go to my senior prom and to see me and my sister, Madeleine, walk across the stage at graduation. She achieved both of those goals.

May 26, 2022, I walked across that stage at graduation, with my mom in a wheelchair watching proudly. The first step I took on that stage, I felt her overwhelming amount of love and knew she was she proud and that was all that mattered in that moment. After I graduated, I received a text, "I love you so so much and am so proud of you." Those words felt like I just won the Super Bowl. She didn't get out of the house much so her being able to attend graduation was a big accomplishment and it took a lot out of her. We had a celebratory dinner at home and she was too exhausted to stay awake for dinner. Although it was upsetting that she wasn't at dinner, I was just thankful she was able to be there and meet her goal.

I was looking forward to going on my week-long beach trip with all of my best friends that night. All week long while I was away, I was texting my mom, telling her all of the drama going on with all of my friends and FaceTiming her. Until Friday came along and my mom stopped answering my texts and my FaceTime calls. I was a little worried and debated texting my dad to see if she was okay, but I let it go and continued on with my last night at the beach.

I was excited to get back home and tell my family all about the week I had. Instead, I came home to my mom in bed and my dad sat me and my two older siblings down and told us that our mom wasn't doing well and he was very worried. At the time, I was thinking my dad was freaking out and exaggerating and that she was going to be OK. After a lot of thinking, my dad decided to take her to the hospital. She walked from her room, downstairs and into the car. At the hospital, they told her that her spine is 75 percent collapsed because of the tumors growing rapidly. I thought to myself that my mom was a superstar, she just walked on a spine that almost was completely collapsed. From that point on, my mom entered hospice care and did not get back up from her bed.

We called all of our family and friends and let them know that her life was coming to an end. The first couple days following her entering hospice care, I was in shock, I didn't believe that my mom was going to die when I was only 18 years old. I remember sending a text to my sister, Madeleine, and asking "Is Mom going to die?" Her response was, "In a few weeks, yeah." My heart shattered into a million pieces. I knew from that point on, I was going to take advantage of the time left with my mom and not have any regrets. I did not want to look back at the last few weeks I had left with my mom and think "I wish I spent more time with her" so I did everything in my power to protect my future self from regret. As friends and family members were coming by, I was laying in bed right next to my mom, holding her hand. I couldn't imagine what my life was going to become. My mom reminded as daily that she loved us and that when she passes, she wants us to move forward. She told us, "When I take my last breath, I want you guys to dance, don't cry, dance."

Days started to blur together as my mom went in and out of consciousness for the next couple weeks. I remember sitting in bed, with my door open and my parents bedroom door open too, scared that I would hear her take her last breath. She started talking in her sleep and talking to her deceased mother telling her that she would see her soon.

The stress that my family endured is not something I would not wish on anyone. We were on lockdown, spending time with my mom and watching her slowly go through the different stages of death. I was in a mental block, I wasn't eating as much as I should've, my main focus was spending as much time as I could with her. On July 7th, my mom said to my dad "I'm so tired I need to go, I will see you later," as she closed her eyes. My dad came down the stairs and told us we all need to go say our final goodbyes. My older siblings went up first. I started pacing back and forth, I did not want to say bye to my best friend. I started my journey up the stairs, with tears rolling down my cheeks, and I stopped, I couldn't do it. I walked into my parents bathroom until I built the courage to go and say goodbye. I walked to my mom, kissed her on the forehead and told her I would see her later and that I loved her.

When the news spread that it might be the day she passed, family members were coming to say their goodbyes, until my mom randomly woke up. At this point, she has been in hospice for 4.5 weeks. When she opened her eyes, I was upset. I was upset my mom was alive. I felt like such a horrible human. I walked outside with my heart in my stomach as I saw my dad leaned over crying talking on the phone. I couldn't imagine going through the process of saying goodbye again. My mom was up and talking for about 5 more days until she went back into a state of total unconsciousness. My dad decided to kick me and my siblings out, and send us to our aunt's house at the beach because he didn't want us to see her in that state anymore.

The beach was my moms favorite place. She would sit on the beach from 9 AM-5 PM every chance she would get. She would take any chance she got to go to the beach, especially since it meant spending more time with her kids. She always had a Grapefruit Crush in her hand and soaked up the sun. She looked so beautiful on the beach and she was in her element. I was sitting on the beach, and had a thought that I needed to tell my mom, but realized I couldn't. My mom was still alive, but I couldn't talk to her. I felt weak. I didn't want this to be the end. I had tears in my eyes as my sister said "Ryan, me and Tommy (my brother) are going to go to Jason Aldean on Sunday, do you want to go? I wanted to go, but for some reason the word "no" came out of my mouth. From that moment forward, all I could think about was my mom. I told my siblings I wanted to go back home that night, I couldn't be away from mom anymore.

When we got back home, there was no change in my moms status. We were told, by hospice, to leave her be and she will go on her own. A few days after returning home from the beach, I woke up and my siblings got ready to go to the concert as me and my dad stayed home with my mom. Around 3 PM, I took a nap and woke up to my dad coming out of their room and said "can you go check her breathing?" I went in and she had the death rattle, I knew today was the day. From then on, my dad and I alternated going in and checking on her until about 7:30. We layed in bed with her and realized her skin was ice cold. I layed there until I couldn't anymore, and I went downstairs. Around 9 PM, my worst nightmare came true. I heard my dads footsteps, and turned the corner and said "I think so, I think she's gone." I had never felt a true heart break and such emptiness ever.

We then had to call my siblings at the concert. We called each of them about 20 times. My brother finally picked up and we had to tell them over the phone. I heard my sister scream and sob, that was the moment where I realized this is real life. Friends and family members started trickling in, I met my siblings outside and hugged them in the driveway as they came home from the concert. My sister looked up at me and said, "we didn't answer your calls because we were dancing. We were dancing when mom took her last breath, just like she wanted." I felt relief in this moment, my mom passed away just the way she wanted to and I knew she wasn't in pain anymore.

As I continue living life without my mom, I realize every single thing I do is to make her proud. I have matured and grown as an individual. As I am constantly paralyzed by the pain that is caused by her death, I remind myself that I am lucky enough to feel this great amount of pain because my mother was such a phenomenal person. There is nothing I wish more than to be able to pick up the phone and call my mom, but I feel peace that she is watching over me and sees my every move. She fought her hardest fight for a month and half to give us the time we desperately needed to say goodbye to her, and for that, I will forever be grateful. I celebrate her existence everyday and am so incredibly grateful to have the best Angel looking over me.

Breaking news, i wrote an essay about my mom’s death — it made my professor cry.

Ryan Harman and her mom

Ryan Harman lost her mom to cancer last year.

In an essay for her English class, she divulged the heart-wrenching journey from diagnosis to death — bringing the internet and her West Virginia University professor to tears.

Harman shared the lengthy text in a viral TikTok video this week, garnering more than 13 million views and 45,000 teary responses.

At a time when her life was “supposed to be at its peak,” everything fell apart, she wrote, explaining that her mom was diagnosed with sarcoma, which invades bones and soft tissue , in 2021.

Harman went on to write that her mom got to see her and her sister graduate from high school, but it wasn’t until the newly minted graduate was on a celebratory beach trip with friends that things went downhill.

Her mom stopped replying to texts and calls, and when Harman returned home, her mom was bedridden with a 75% collapsed spine due to tumor growth.

Dedicated to a life of no regrets, Harman spent as much time as possible with her mom, laying in bed with her, holding her hand.

“She told us, ‘When I take my last breath, I want you guys to dance, don’t cry, dance,'” Harman wrote, expressing shock that she would be losing her mother at just 18.

In the summer of 2022, Harman’s siblings attended a Jason Aldean concert while she opted to stay home — that ended up being the night their mom died. Harman and her father rang them “about 20 times” until someone picked up.

When they arrived home, Harman’s sister said: “We didn’t answer your calls because we were dancing. We were dancing when mom took her last breath, just like she wanted.”

That was the line that choked up viewers .

“The dancing part got me,” one viewer admitted. “I am so sorry for your loss.”

“‘We didn’t answer your calls because we were dancing,'” another quoted. “I lost it.”

“I can’t stop crying,” confessed someone else.

“This broke my heart in the most beautiful way,” a TikToker agreed.

Some invested readers even made their own videos in response, many showing themselves tearing up or fully crying .

“No bc that essay deserves an award,” one user wrote on a clip .

“Me sobbing in the middle of work bc I read the essay,” shared another person on their own video . “‘We didn’t answer bc we were dancing.'”

The Post has reached out to Harman for comment.

“There is nothing I wish more than to be able to pick up the phone and call my mom, but I feel peace that she is watching over me and sees my every move,” Harman wrote.

“I celebrate her existence everyday and am so incredibly grateful to have the best Angel looking over me,” she concluded the essay.

The Essay That Made My English Teacher Cry

The Essay That Made My English Teacher Cry

Table of Contents

Introduction 

The Power of Personal Writing: We all have pivotal moments in our lives – events and experiences that shape who we are.  Putting these moments into words, especially at a young age, can be incredibly challenging yet rewarding. This is the story of how a personal essay I wrote in high school elicited an unexpected reaction from my English teacher. Through vivid details and raw emotion, my article on losing my father to cancer moved my teacher to tears. This experience taught me the power of heartfelt writing in expressing grief, inspiring strength and empathy, and forging human connection.

Chapter 1:  The Assignment That Started It All 

The Seeds of My Essay Are Planted It was the Spring of my junior year and the last assignment in my AP English Language class. For the final essay, my teacher, Ms. Thompson, told us we could write about any personal experience that has significantly shaped our lives. I stayed up that night, sifting through memories, moments, and milestones. Then it hit me – the most painful yet transformative event was undoubtedly my father’s battle with lung cancer. His diagnosis when I was 14, followed by the grueling treatments, his inspiring strength, and ultimately his death just before my 16th birthday.

Brainstorming the Outline 

I started by jotting down memories and moments that stood out from my dad’s cancer journey. His initial diagnosis, telling me he was proud of me throughout treatment, gifting me his watch when he went into hospice care, and our final goodbye hug. I noted the sights, smells, and conversations word for word. I wanted to immerse readers fully in those difficult yet precious times. After compiling pages of notes, I made an outline categorizing everything into a narrative arc highlighting my dad’s diagnosis, treatment, Final goodbye, and death. This Outline became my roadmap.

Why This Topic? 

Writing has always been cathartic, a way to process emotions and make sense of experiences. I also wanted to honor my dad and share a glimpse into the incredible person that he was. Most importantly, relating the universal experience of losing a parent could help readers going through similar grief feel less alone. By bravely sharing my vulnerability, I aimed to inspire strength and comfort in others.

Chapter 2:  Crafting the Essay 

Pulling Together the First Draft Staring at the blinking cursor on the blank Word document, I was initially overwhelmed . How could I possibly translate profound grief into words on a page? Where do I even start? I took a deep breath, referred to my Outline, and recounted memories. The day my dad first told me about his stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. The exhaustion in his eyes after radiation and chemo sessions. He’d proclaim his inspiring mantra, “We can and we will!” after vomiting from treatments.

The scenes flowed one after another, transporting me back to those difficult moments. I found myself sobbing as I typed, almost reliving the experiences. After hours of typing furiously with tears streaming down my face, I had a five-page first draft chronicling my dad’s cancer battle. It was raw, honest, and Only the beginning.

The Revision Process 

I let the essay marinate for a few days before rereading it with fresh eyes. With more objectivity, I could see areas that needed refinement and reworking. Some scenes required more specifics, while others got bogged down in unnecessary details. With my teacher’s feedback and countless rounds of editing, I chiseled away, shaping the essay into a sculpted story. I focused on striking a balance between being descriptive yet concise emotive yet subtle. After about two weeks of working iteratively, I had crafted a powerful 2000-word personal narrative I was ready to share.

Chapter 3:  Presenting My Essay 

The Moment of Truth On the last day of our English class, all students presented our final essays in front of the course and Ms. Thompson. Adrenaline pumping, I volunteered to go first. I was incredibly nervous, hands shaking as I stood before my peers, clutching my essay on crumpled notebook paper. I cleared my throat and dove in, returning to the memories that inspired my writing. My voice quivered, describing my dad’s hospice care and death, but I pressed on, determined to make it through.

A Powerful Reaction 

Glancing up occasionally, I gauged my teacher’s and fellow students’ reactions as I read. Most sat silently, a few dabbing tears from their eyes. As expected, reliving my dad’s death elicited an emotional response. What I didn’t expect, however, was the reaction when I finished. Ms. Thompson, typically reserved and stoic, was quietly crying, tears streaming down her cheeks. The room fell silent until she suddenly stood up and hugged me, sobbing into my shoulder. I was in sheer disbelief. This essay struck an emotional chord, and her unusually vulnerable reaction moved me.

Praise and Positive Feedback 

When Ms. Thompson finally composed herself, she praised me. She said that was the most moving, well-written essay she had ever read from a student. She loved the juxtaposition depicting my dad’s strength and perseverance despite his declining health. The way I wove in sensory details to fully immerse readers in the most impactful scenes. And how the linear structure smoothly flowed, bringing readers on my grief journey with me. Her effusive praise and equally effusive tears in front of classmates left me proud.

Chapter 4:  Reflecting On My Essay’s Impact 

An Unexpected Connection through Grief While I set out to write this essay for personal healing and to honor my dad, I formed a special connection with Ms. Thompson. She later told me that she also lost her dad to cancer when she was a teenager. My essay brought up those feelings of grief she still carries today. By eloquently relaying my own experience, my writing resonated on a profoundly personal level with her. We formed a unique student-teacher bond built on shared grief and the human experiences that unite us all.

Writing as Healing 

Beyond making a lasting impression on Ms. Thompson and earning an easy A in her class, the experience of writing this essay taught me so much. About grief, about growth, about connecting to others through vulnerability. Translating emotions and memories into words forces you to process and better understand them. Like carefully examining each artifact found amongst rubble and debris. Sorting through the painful shards allows you to rebuild better. That’s what this essay provided me – a way to sift through grief, find meaning, and rebuild after loss.

This essay also reminded me that openly sharing our stories, no matter how difficult, can inspire remarkable strength and empathy in others. Human experiences, no matter how profoundly unique, still contain universal threads that weave us together. Pull one, and we all feel the tug. This was certainly true with Ms. Thompson. My essay tugged at the grief embedded in her heart and compelled an emotional response. By generously giving my words and tears to readers, I can reciprocate the comfort I found in the shared stories of others.

The Power of Personal Writing The essay about my dad’s battle with cancer will always be one of my proudest achievements.  Technically well-constructed yet emotionally resonant, it exemplified my strengths as a writer. More importantly, though, it served as a cathartic vessel carrying my grief, a way to honor my dad’s life, and a piece inspiring empathy and understanding in others. The unexpectedly powerful reaction from my English teacher is something I will remember forever. Her tears watered the seeds of healing planted by this essay and cultivated emotional connections blossoming from difficult experiences. This taught me that courageously sharing our personal stories helps make the vast human experience feel less lonely. And that is something magical.

For as long as I could remember, I had been a solitary child, lost in the pages of books, seeking solace in the company of fictional characters who seemed to understand me better than my peers.

However, in my sophomore year of high school, I joined the debate team at the behest of my parents. Initially, I approached it with the same trepidation that I did with most social interactions. But, to my astonishment, something unexpected occurred. Amidst the heated exchanges and the clash of ideas, I found my voice.

I discovered that I could articulate my thoughts with clarity and conviction. I could persuade others to see the world from my perspective, even if they didn’t agree with me. For the first time, I felt a sense of belonging and purpose outside of the confines of my solitary pursuits.

A Turning Point

As the year progressed, my participation in the debate team became increasingly integral to my identity. It was through these debates that I learned the power of words to inspire, to provoke, and to heal.

One particular debate stands out in my memory. We were discussing the controversial topic of abortion, and as I presented my arguments with passion and empathy, I noticed a shift in the atmosphere. The classroom grew silent, and my classmates listened intently, their faces etched with a mixture of awe and understanding.

An Unforgettable Impact

When the debate concluded, my English teacher approached me, her eyes filled with tears. She confessed that my words had moved her deeply, and that she had never witnessed such eloquence and conviction from a student of my age.

In that moment, I realized the transformative power of language. It was not merely a tool for communication, but a conduit for human connection. Through my essay, I had not only shared a personal experience but had also touched the hearts of others.

The Importance of Sharing Our Stories

The essay that made my English teacher cry taught me the importance of sharing our stories, no matter how vulnerable or personal they may seem. By embracing our experiences and sharing them with others, we can create a tapestry of human connection that transcends time and space.

Our stories have the power to inspire, to provoke thought, and to heal. They can ignite empathy, bridge divides, and create a better world. So, I encourage you to embrace your own stories and to share them with the world, for you never know the impact you may have on others.

  • Q: What is the importance of sharing our stories?
  • A: Sharing our stories allows us to connect with others, create empathy, and inspire change.
  • Q: How can we use language to create a positive impact?
  • A: Language can be used to inspire, provoke thought, heal, and create human connection.
  • Q: What is the role of vulnerability in storytelling?
  • A: Vulnerability creates authenticity and allows us to connect with others on a deeper level.
  • Q: How can I find my own story to share?
  • A: Reflect on your experiences, identify moments that shaped you, and explore the emotions and lessons you learned.

The essay that made my English teacher cry is a testament to the power of storytelling and the transformative potential of words. Through the act of writing and sharing our stories, we can not only gain a deeper understanding of ourselves but also make a meaningful impact on the world.

So, I ask you, dear reader, are you ready to embrace your own story and to use it as a force for good? Your words have the power to change hearts and minds. Don’t be afraid to share them with the world.

As an English teacher and writer, I've struggled with my son's apathy toward reading. Here's how I've gotten him interested.

I've been an English teacher for years and have helped plenty of students learn to love reading.

However, my son has never been all that interested in books.

I don't force him to read, I buy books about his interests, and we read together at night.

I've been a secondary English teacher since my son was 5. Many of my students come to me loathing reading and writing, but I take the one school year I have with them to try to show them that maybe they just haven't found the right book. I really do believe that there are stories out there for everyone.

As a teacher, I'm successful about 80% of the time in garnering a genuine interest in reading . As a mother, I always thought my son would love reading as much as I do, having grown up witnessing me reading every day and with me reading to him nightly. But he's in fifth grade now, and he has proven himself to be my most stubborn "student." Still, a few things I've done to try to get him interested in reading have seemed to help.

I decided to stop forcing him to read

A few years ago, I accepted that the best thing I could do was stop forcing my son to read. I have felt like a fraud at times, as if I should know all the tips and tricks behind raising a young reader . But my experiences as a teacher have reminded me of two things: I won't get through to every student, and sometimes, it's best to give things a rest.

I didn't give up

While I stopped being pushy with books, I never stopped presenting the opportunities for my son to choose to read on his own. I still took him to the library every week and found books on topics he was interested in. For example, if he was into snakes that week, I asked the librarian to pull every snake book they had.

Sometimes, his interests were more difficult to pair with a book, such as football or muscle cars, so I went to the adult section and found coffee table books with informative texts next to the photos.

I continued modeling the behavior I wanted to see in him

I am a reader, so my son has grown up seeing me read when I can, whether on a lazy Sunday morning or every night before I go to bed. He'll sometimes ask me what the book I'm reading is about or why I like reading so much. Sometimes, he'll seem interested in the story I'm reading or left with food for thought when I tell him I like reading about other people's experiences.

I think a large part of my growing up to be a reader is because I saw my aunt and uncle reading all the time, and I can remember asking them similar questions. I didn't like reading for a long time, but when I asked my aunt to help me find books that I liked, and she did, that was it. I was hooked, and I loved getting to sit around and read with them, as if I had joined the club.

I always tell parents to read with their children

I have found that many parents don't realize reading to their children is just as beneficial as a child reading on their own. When you read to your child , they are still experiencing the story, being exposed to new vocabulary, and listening to how you read.

I have always read to my son nightly. At times of frustration when he doesn't want to read on his own, I have found solace in the fact that he still looks forward to our nightly reads. It helps me acknowledge that maybe there's a reader in him that just hasn't emerged yet.

I go to a lot of used bookstores and buy books that I think he'll like

Used bookstores and library book sales are great places to buy books for next to nothing. I never feel sour about grabbing books here and there and just putting them on my son's bookshelf in his room when they cost me so little. I figure that if he discovers it on his own, then that's great, and if he doesn't, at least I tried, and it's not like I'm out a ton of money. Also, these are the same books that I often end up reading to him at bedtime anyway.

Providing these opportunities paid off

Over the summer, my son recently stumbled upon the movie "Wonder" and really liked it. So when we were at a local book sale and I found the book the movie was based on, I grabbed it. To my glorious surprise, I found him reading it all on his own and did my best not to overreact and ruin the miracle happening before me. It felt as though not giving up on influencing him to discover reading on his own had finally paid off.

I know the numerous benefits that reading and writing have brought into my life, and I just want my son to experience that for himself. So, while I've struggled with him not being inclined to read independently, I let it go. Instead of being pushy, I just put him into different situations where his interest in books might peak, or he could decide to read if he wanted to. In the end, I know it has to be his choice.
