I laughed when I found out that my best friend was diagnosed with cancer. Not how I expected to react, but it was a defense mechanism. Humans have really odd ways of coping with shock. The video isn't of him the moment he was told either, I think it is totally plausible that the people around him were trying to keep his spirits high by joking around, and he was trying to be cordial by smiling at them. And then as he collected himself to deliver his statement emotions caught up with him. I know as little as you do, but there are certainly other explanations. I don't think you are the global authority on human emotion.

Jump my #? I'm new here but I keep seeing the # sign used- explain further?
I cannot for the life of me find it, but I will keep looking. For reference, the mother found a journal entry from her daughter saying "i love you" and the mother was talking about it.
Will definitely keep looking.
Found it!

Check out around 1:40 (give or take). It just seems... odd.
To be clear, I have no idea what I believe. This is just something that struck me as not right.

Personally, I did not see anything odd about that video. Just saw a mother very upset and a father concerned about his wife and trying to be strong for the both of them and attempting to compose himself.
