Let's Eat - Award Winning Animated Short Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2021
- Let’s Eat is a 8 minute animated short film that centers on the relationship between a mother and daughter in a Chinese-American immigrant family. Let’s Eat strives to be a universal story told through a distinctly Asian-American voice.
As a single parent in an unfamiliar country, Ma’s entire life centers around raising Luan, her rambunctious young daughter. Likewise, Luan spends her childhood indulging in endless quality time with her playful, loving mother. However, as Luan grows up, it isn’t long before daily life interferes and causes mother and daughter to grow apart. By channeling their feelings into cooking, the two strive to find their way back to each other, one homemade meal at a time.
Ma and Luan’s tale touches upon mother-daughter relationships, the American immigrant experience, and the unspoken translation of love into food - familiar themes reflected through a fresh perspective often overlooked in mainstream media. We at Anamon Studios aim to share in our similarities as much as we celebrate our differences, and to this end we hope that Let’s Eat will resonate with audiences of all backgrounds and experiences.

For those who want the lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I hold your laughter safe inside in my mind
Sweet moments captured so I can rewind
I’ll always have them so anywhere I fly
I know you’ll be by my side
(Verse 2)
You lift me up when I am feeling small
Up on your shoulders I become so tall
And though you raise me high above it all
I have no doubt that you’ll catch me if I fall
(Chorus 1)
You give me everything
You see the best in me
No matter where you go
You’ll come back home
(Verse 3)
I’m only learning to say what’s in my heart
So when you’re hurting I don’t know where to start
And though the words are often hard to find
We still have time to make things right
(Chorus 2)
You give me everything
You see the best in me
No matter where I go
I’ll come back home
cool
Thank you so much, God Bless😇
Do you have the guitar chords?
What's the name of the song
Thank you for translating it
it's a representation of asian's mom. for us, food isn't just about meal, but a family, sharing day, apology, celebration, love. even happy or sad part, we have our own food to comfort us.❤
So true! 🥰
From what I’ve seen, it’s like that all over the world, not just Asia.
Not just asian mom bruh -_-
Our culture is kinda like that too in some ways. The momma always looking after the family 👪 ❤️ 💕
It's like that in most cultures, moms are just great in general.
We always think when we are younger, that we will have our parents forever. But unfortunately, they don't. This is why I always say: CHILDREN - Love your parents! Spend every single moment that you can WITH THEM, because once they are gone, They Are GONE! For those of us who no longer have our parents, regret all the moments that we didn't!
My dear, that's sooo true! 👍😗
So God bless all our parents! We have to take time for our parents to get wonderful memories with them! 😗😗😗
As a mum of two children in the age of 24 and 19 I love spending time together with them like a big present too! 👼🤗😗
Love ♥️

I’m raising my teen granddaughters their mom is my daughter. They see her on weekends but it’s not the best situation. Drugs & domestic violence took them out of the home and kept them out. My daughter & her husband live no electricity no water they have wood stove & carry water from my home ( not as much mine since we live a distance) or others that let them. The 14 yr old will not join into any kind of activity Because she’s afraid she won’t get to see her mom on a weekend. Breaks my heart
@@susiesmith7694 What a shame your daughter isn't in a better place. It's always the children that suffer...thank goodness they have you!!
True
@Sushnila Sarkar I’m really sorry to hear that, please don’t give up! You absolutely will have a better life when you get out 💪stay strong
Im...actually crying. My mother and I also used to be besties when I was little. But as time went on, we argued more and more often. Yesterday, we had a terrible argument. Angrily, I took my ipad and locked myself in my room. As I was watching short films, I suddenly saw this one. The more I watched, the more I regretted everything. After I watched it, I ran straight down to my mum and gave her a hug. Thanks for this wonderful work.❤
💐
❤
Now you don't have argument?
@@Sameer__khan....._---......__5 No, not anymore
same. my mom and I used to be close when I was young
I lost my only child, my son, more than 6 years ago ate age 21 after a 4 year battle with cancer. I have been doing well lately but this got the big, sobbing tears going again. But no worries, it’s a good thing.
I miss being his mom. I miss him. But I’m glad for memories like this. It’s good to remember those loving close times, even and especially when it’s difficult. I wish he had had time to be a dad like he wanted to. He would have been a good one.
You still are, and will always be his mom.
So touched by this short film. To anyone who didn’t get it. Food in Asian culture takes front and center in almost every home. It’s what connects them to each other. It is love in action- prepping the food for a loved one, sharing / eating the food together, it’s comfort. Some of the best memories at home happened in the kitchen- food sustains us physically, connection feeds our soul. Thank you for making it!
Food is central in most cultures. Its human to share and show love thru food.
I've heard so many people say, "My mother's way of saying 'I love you' was 'Have you eaten?'" And I get that. My mom regularly told her children that she loved them, and she gave them hugs even when we were prickly teenagers, but one of her love languages was cooking -- and she was a wonderful cook who would feed anyone who came to her door, anyone who needed to eat and unwind, anyone who needed a meal. She cooked for her own family, for new mothers and people just home from the hospital, for mourners when a loved one had died.
She died in August 2020, during the pandemic, and because it wasn't safe, none of her sisters attended her funeral. I sometimes wonder what she would have thought about that. It's fortunate that she'll never know.
Do we have the same mom?
Because you described my mom to a "T".
All the friends of my brothers knew that my mom or grandma made chocolate syrup and biscuits every Sunday morning.
One year we had 21 kids at our house for Mother's Day.
My mom only had 4 kids.
Worst things about adulting is witnessing your parents getting old....... Parents literally sacrifice their life and comfort for us and we can't even take 5 minutes in our lives of appreciate that and when we realize it noting can be done time is probably the most precious things💝💝💝❤️❤️
I miss my mom so much...
Maybe someday mom, maybe...
Hope never dies.
🤍
Me watching this crying while my mom and grandma chilling , chatting and sipping milk tea ...
That made me happy and scared at the same time
Me too🥺
I grew up in an Asian household and my mom constantly talked about the food she cooked or ate and me and my sister would always tease her but now that I look back I realize how much these meals meant to her. They weren’t just for the food it was a time for us to bond, laugh, talk and be a family so when she got the divorce and we all stopped having family meals I saw her heart shatter. She just wanted us to all be happy over the hard worked meals she would spend hours making. This short hurts me and makes me realize how much I wish I could go back in time and tell her how much I appreciated all of it.
❤
Time is going go today and tell her what you're thinking go now it's has been one year passed make bonds stronger now.❤
I cried. Mostly because I never had mother love in my life. I hope I can be a better mother for my children.
Same, I never had a mother. I have a 2-year-old daughter now. (I'm 31) Mothers take care of you, mothers sacrifice everything for you. I give her everything I couldn't have. I also learned there is an entire life outside of my daughter I still have to live. As a wife, as an Artist, as a student. We play many roles, and this video illustrated the role we play as mothers beautifully. 🤍
@@user-eo2rs6vn9o God bless❤️
i realize even a mother needs her mother too...
I miss my mom even more. Growing in a poor family, I grew up to be ambitious and determined to live a better life than what my parents could afford. Ever since, their love language is service, they are always one step ahead of my needs. After college, I grew more and more apart from my parents since I was already able to support myself. But with the pandemic, my life slowed down. I was at home most of the time with them and I was able to catch up. Little did I know, the days I had with my mom were already counted and those times I am at home are the last chance I got to spend with her. I lost her few months ago and I miss her everyday since. 💔
I'm really sorry for your loss. I'm glad you were able to spend the last days with her though, I'm sure this brought her much happiness. Please stay safe 🤍
My best wishes for u ❤️
I'm terribly sorry to hear that. May your mother soul rest in peace ❤
Feel so proud that my son played Guitar at this film !
Actually that was very soothing for me ears!
You never know how much you’ll miss that person until you realize their gone.
This story also illustrates that many children of immigrant parents no longer speak their native language. The mother speaks to her in Chinese, but she is always speaking English instead. Then her child speaks English too. It is actually quite sad to see native tongues disappear throughout the generations and this happens very often. It seems like not many are interested in learning it or recovering the language and being bilingual and become culture-washed.
agreed
Why do you learn a language? So someone else understands you.
I don't think people do it with ill intent. People do it to survive. You need to learn another language to survive. And if you don't have the luxury of speaking with someone from back home all the time to keep using that language often or the time to teach your child a language that they will not need much if at all any more then you let them learn the language that will help them make friends, get a job, etc in the new country you are both in.
I am not saying it isn't a bit sad. But adapting is more important than 'keeping the culture intact and nothing to taint it, blah blah'. If they had lived a horrible life with little food because they couldn't adapt, then maybe there wouldn't be the next, and next generation at all. (Although that's a bit extreme...it really depends where one moves)
Basically, all I am saying is: Living, being happy and comfortable enough to give birth to a new generation is important too. And if you want your children to speak that language too, if you can, sure, do it. But if they can't, then what? then just don't move away? But most of them don't move just because they're bored of the country they were born in. Let's be serious.
Also, I am sorry for this whole rant, I am tired, had 3 coffees, and a bad day. Hope I didn't offend you in any way. This is my opinion. Yours can be different. And I wish you a good day.
Tbh, I think this may be an issue in USA, but I don't see it happening in Europe. We tend to speak more languages, even if we don't use them daily to communicate, it has a cultural value to learn new languages. I, for example, speak Spanish, english, italian, little portuguese, little french and also japanese, in addition I speak two local languages from Spain. Many other european countries promote learning their own language + english + a third language. And many immigrant kids speak their native + new country language + english. Its so common and I think its really good to speak more than just one, you learn a lot! 😊
This was so touching. I felt the pain when the daughter stopped eating dinner with her mom.
Even if the day is extremely busy, dinner (or another meal) together with the family should not be rushed. Its not really about eating, its about spending time together. Don't forget forget this - I hope I never will
I cried. It’s so wrong that we don’t value our family until we loose them.
And...our food...is a Reminder of that...Good or Bad....🙏💖😎
The last moment of the daughter giving her mom chicken soup hot a different perspective before.
I've heard the saying, "the parent should take care of the child at the beginning of their life and the child should take care of the parent at the end of theirs"
Only it's hard to tolerate some of my grandparents because of how grumpy and irritable they can be.
For some reason, this film put it in perspective:
As a kid, they had to tolerate my behavior because I was still developing. As they're elderly, I should understand that they're regressing.
But they're not just related to me, they're family
This is a slap for us. The more we advance the more we lose this type of wholesome family moments
Not rly . Happened all the time . Maybe in today's s world we have more opportunities and not bound by societal restrictions but everyone goes through this stage . Everyone goes through that rebellious teenage phase then get lost in work , then you get older and realise what you should actually be doing and how right your parents were.
Happened hundred years ago still happens now.
Moral : Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory....😢
So true 🥺
Tell me if i'm not the only one crying. This short story is just AWESOME!!
You're not the only one crying..here I am crying too
Oh gosh. I’m bawling my eyes out!!!😢😢😢😢 Never thought I’ll ever cry over such a short animated movie. 😮
At first I wasn't but once I saw that she had her own daughter too something just started and I just loved it 🥲
I definitely cried. You’re not alone.
I'm not crying, you're crying...
Rest in peace for my mom 3 months a go.
Rest in peace mama😢
People who have good relationships with their moms are lucky, i can never experience that cus my mom hates me and said she hopes i live a miserable life even if i gave her everything. In my next life i hope i get to experience a relationship like this with my mom
I understand you ,but remember ,think positively , when you grow and make your dreams come true , you'll marry with a great person and you'll have a child and I can say for sure that you'll be an amazing mom ❤
I hope that I can help you, and don't forget "your dreams will come true"
Ah that’s so sad, but don’t let it stop you from being the person that you want to be.
You are not alone. I have never had a good relationship with my mom either. I remember many hurtful moments of her abusing me physically and emotionally. I cannot recall any moments in which I actually felt motherly love. She rarely smiled. I was very jealous of other kids who had loving mothers to laugh and play with. I don't think she was the type who actually wanted kids to love and to share experiences with. The only reason she had me was because she felt it was her responsibility to "create the next generation and pass on her genes" and for me to grow up to be successful to repay her for giving birth to me and for providing me with food and shelter (I would constantly be reminded of this). In that way, she just followed the "survival of the fittest" biological model and is biologically my mother, but not actually a nurturing mother.
@user-cr1md9lm9b @sakuraflower7245 i’m so sorry that you have those hurtful experiences. you deserve to be loved and you deserve to have a beautiful life. please know that you are wonderful and worthy of love
@@jasmimribeiros2263 My mother did not love me and I married a man who did not love me. This happens because you don't know what real love feels like. I would recommend the original poster to get a lot of counselling before committing to any relationship. I am divorced now and alone but I'm doing ok.
as someone who grew up in a Chinese household this rly spoke to me. like many other Asian moms, she would show her love chiefly through food - bringing cut up and peeled fruit into my room every night as I studied, remembering how much I loathe raw tomatoes, subtly noticing how much I enjoy a dish and making sure it is doubled in a heaping portion next time, always making sure I get the first opinion on what she should make for dinner. she was the best cook in town by a mile and everyone knew it. I would give anything to just taste her food again 😢
Even if your mom isn’t the best cook, appreciate her every little effort and thought. When you look back you truly see that they meant everything.
“Love your Parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.”
This is not an Award winning short film, It's a heart winning short film..... Great work
So true
This 8-minute story isn't about a relationship, but a bond between mother and child or every culture not just one. Because there is nothing more precious, pure, and loving than family. Like the saying goes, "You don't know what you have until it's gone," and the daughter in the story realized that at the end. I think this is a strong story to tell and should be nominated for an award of some kind, and I also think it should be shared by everybody to get the message across.
Love the details, for example the mom removing the tip of a snow pea, you’ll know what I m talking about if you have a Chinese parent who does exactly the same. That scene just hits me. And the food looks authentic and amazing.
Not Chinese, but I noticed that detail, too
Not Chinese, but my mom did it the same way, as do I… And the food looks so amazing, now I’m hungry!
My mom did that too and we're Hispanic. But thanks for that. Maybe she was Chinese 🤔
American, I always did that too. 😊
I also noticed that mom was talking with her daughter in Chinese, when she was young. Although, in the end, the daughter was speaking with her own child in English. It seems like a immigrant family. If your parents are immigrants, you’ll know what I mean!
For the ones that weren’t blessed with kind parents: remember it is alright to not love your parents! It is alright to feel anger towards them but don’t burden yourself with hatred, don’t let them destroy your life! And most important: It is NOT YOUR FAULT! Stay safe!
:'(
Not easy to forget and forgive
@@lucyzhu2968 It never is... But it think forgetting isn't the key. Always remember what you never want to become yourself. We're not bound to, of course but this reminder helps staying tidy and fair towards our own children.
Somewhere in this video, we all related to it, somewhere we lost ourselves in this busy world while our mom's were still there waiting for us, slowly we grew apart and ik there will be a day where i'll be crying wishing she was here. I hope I die first, cause i dont wanna live without her
For those who have still a mom in their lives today; cherish them. I lost my mom, she died when I was 6.
🥲
😢
so sad
Wrong title. It should be 'lets cry' cause that's what me and my sister are doing right now.
The sad reality is that we were too focus on ourselves that we didn't realize that our parents are slowly getting old. We often focus on doing unimportant things that we forget the true importance of life. We should always know and prioritize the importance things and that's family, love and time so that we will not have any regret growing up.
No matter how much pain mothers feel inside, they never fail to be mothers and do their job best for their children. They cycle goes on and on. The little child will also grow up, know the real face of life, make mistakes and learn and eventually grow up enough to be a mother; no matter how hard her life could be. The cycle goes on this way.
i cried. i miss my mom. i want to go back to my home.
Me to 😢
My parents are alive, but I lost them to their abuse; it’s not longer safe for me to be with them. But these kinds of videos remind me of my childhood, the brighter moments at least. And I’m grateful for that. ❤️ thank you for making this
🥺
My parent's are mean and very rude to me. They don't understand me at all. My Childhood was also not very good. it sucks.
I'm ugly crying right now. Such a beautiful short film. This makes me value my parents time with me more. They're still here but only time will tell when their time is up which is one of my biggest fears.
This made me cry. Lost my mother 2 years ago unexpectedly and no meal is the same. No day is the same. Hard to exist in a world without her.
Same story dear, I lost my mom 2 years ago and this was so emotional for me. No day, no meal, no festival is the same.
@@Glimmer593 I feel your pain. I don’t know if you are Christian, but if so I’m sure you are feeling extra down today like myself. My heart goes out to you. Xoxo
@@stuff2047 Oh it means a lot! I actually am missing my Mom so much. Thanks💓🥺
@@Glimmer593 Well just know there’s someone in Maryland who feels exactly the way you do on this very day. Happy Easter. Take care of yourself. 💞
@@stuff2047 🥹❤️
This video made me cry🥺 Without our mothers we are nothing in life😥 So, we should take care of them and appreciate now. I love you mum❤️
My mom passed away from covid and cancer 7 mounth ago.. I can't see her, she was in isolation room alone. The last meal with her is in emergency room. I feed her marie biscuit in water, she won't eat anything else. I always cook with her or for her. She teach me to love homemade food and the joy of eating with family.. I regret all the time i've gone away while she still in good health. I'm sorry mom.
This movie almost exactly like the story i experienced :(
Very good one. Good Job :)
wish i had a mom like this... wish i could relate but i simply just can't. I'm envious of people with caring mothers such as this. i hope you are all still sharing meals together as you age together ❤ don't take it for granted... not everyone is so lucky
A hug from my side for you!❤️
Sending love...!💫👀❤️
I am 44 and got divorced, back home and mom still doing all those sweet things for me 🥰
Very lucky
This made me cry...we will never know the value of the moment until it becomes a memory ❤
Don't get too busy in making a career that you forget to look after and spend time with those for whom you exist.
This is truly an award winning film, the background music, the picture, the emotional story, all perfect, me and my friends watched this we all felt emotional and sad, one of my friend even cried, this is amazing in every part of it, and the moral that was in this short film is so great and really tells us how we always need to spend time with our family before we regret not doing that.
People should consume more content like this and start reflecting on their lives and the members of it. Nothing lasts forever.
These small videos make us realize that in the race of life we forget the things that should be the most precious to us. Please always be kind and loving to your loved ones.
We are so busy in growing up that we forget our parents are growing old
This is such a touching story. 😭 Not about food but about the love ❤ one shares with ones Mom. 👩 I for one am grateful to still have my Mom. I Live with her. I have Never left her side. We sadly 😭 Lost my Dad 👨 in 2015. I will be 53 & she Will be 78. People Please Cherish your Loved ❤ ones! Time is Precious & We Don''t have much Time. 🙏
I literally sobbed this short film was so beautiful, I loved the representation shown in this 😭💗
I remember my mom struggling to survive in the hospital. I made her her favorite dish, but my other family members didn't want her to eat it because it could be contaminated with something since I had brought it to the hospital all the way from home (she was doing chemo heavily back then). I will never forget the sadness on her face, lying there. I couldn't fault their argument, and the "it could be the last opportunity she has to eat it" went unspoken, because to very last moment we wanted to try anything available to help her to make it. She didn't. It's the only thing that I would have changed, if I could. I have inherited all her recipe notebooks/books.
I kept all my mum's kitchen things, everytime I use them I think of the times we cooked and baked together.
@@wendylorimer5663 Yeah, exactly this. It really feels like we are giving continuity to the kindness and selflessness found on those moments.
@@ammygamer Nicely said, thank you. I'm keeping your comment if I may 🥰
I couldn't hold my tears back when I saw the girl went out of the door in different dress-ups, while the mom was always the one who sit beside the table and waited...It was just like me and my mom.
I cry every. single. time. I watch this and yet I still come back. Crying over this is somehow an escape for me now, and though that sounds weird, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Mother is the miracle of the world .No one replaces her place .She sacrifices her all life for us
I cried so hard. Haven't seen mine in over 6 months. We live so close yet we are so far away. May God bring our family peace before it's too late. Death has no compassion or understanding.
I really miss my mom. This makes me cry. Foods are the sign of the relationship between me and my mom. She is the one who sends me my favorite traditional foods everywhere I am. Now I am far away from home and I still get some of mustard pickle and bean pickle she has sent me a few days ago.
This story hit home is so many levels. My daughter exactly same. I hope one day she understands how much she means to me. By the time she realizes I may not be around.
I hope somehow your daughter watches this video and still has opportunity to see you with her.
This film did an amazing job showing how food bonds and heals. I love that the daughter passed on the tradition of cooking together with her own daughter. She learnt from her mistakes.
My mother has been sick since last week. So I had to do house chores and cook by myself. It was at this time that I felt her love. I realized how much she cherishes and loves me. Watching this video reminded me of my mother and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for letting me know her love again.
@Shams Alizada She is doing well, and now she’s in the recovery process. It would take few months to be healthy again, thanks for such nice words.
Literally i am crying.....please respect your moms presence...this is precious time in our life......really....she is the one who show the world..show the life to us
idk how to convey my mom that she is everything to me. I throw tantrums and act needy. Take her for granted. I will find ways to show my love to her. Made me cry
this is the best short film that i watch ,
i cried tbh , I realize the importance of my own parents that giving all the thing for me to have a good life , I felt guilt of how i ignore their effort to make me happy everyday i think all i behave this whole time to them i wish i can be better daugther and take care of them for a long time ,gave them to all the thing they want in life to make them happy i will promise that to myself...
let's embrace our parent's while they're still here in this world because once their gone ,there's nothing we can do but only we will remember all the important time with them and regret's that we didn't value or appreciate them as are parent's that guide us when we get in this world..
My mother died 3 weeks ago today.
I loved her so much, but I wasn't around much anymore. I'm growing up, I had things to do, places to be... What I wouldn't give to have one more hug, eat her cooking one more time, laugh with her one more time, hear her sing.
Fuck cancer. This was beautiful.
I am so sorry to hear that. May God Bless you and I know your mother is watching on you from above. You’ll be okay. She will always be with you, in the memories, your heart and her recipes. 💞
Where are you from?
My mum died very young 55yrs. I'm 51 now myself, I've a daughter who's 23, hope we have many more years together ❤
This bought tears to my eyes . From when I was 15 I had to leave home for my education for which I have been put into hostel . It’s almost 8 years now and I am still studying because I’m in doctorate course but I still miss my parents so much . Even if I go home once a month from past year . It isn’t just enough for me…. I wanna stay with them . ❤
Im crying at work...I lost my mom when i was 12 and i wish i had more time with her...I am 53 and the pain never stops...
I know exactly how you feel ❤🙏
I'm almost 30 and my mom still brings me food sometimes. The other day, she brought me crispy rice (the crunchy layer of rice at the bottom of a rice cooker) in a little metal bowl. As I was enjoying the snack, I looked down and realized this bowl was the soup bowl that I used growing up. I remember looking into it as I drank soup and there were very distinct dents in it. My mom has kept my soup bowl this entire time. She said she also kept my brother's too. Happy memories of my childhood rushed through me.
We often forget the sacrifices our parents make and visit them less often than we should because of our own busy schedules. Remember that our parents are aging and we only have one set of parents or even one parent. Some people don't even have parents. Cherish the time with them as they get older because one day, they will no longer be here.
Thank you!!! 😢😢❤❤
I'm not a good child and now I realising it, I got influenced by bad people so called (fake) friends, I involved in bad things and start insulting my parents,now my academic life sucks no one there for me but my parents, I hate myself for the way I treat them, I love you mom dad ❤️
Don’t just say it here where they don’t see it. Say straight to them and be kind and respectful, help them out as well because one day you’ll be all alone.
My mom and I have never gotten along. I was a VERY late baby, and she is old enough to be my grandmother. This really made me think-don't wait till tomorrow to make it right. She might not have tomorow.
This movie transcends any particular culture, but is lovingly set with an Asian theme. In every culture and throughout time, food has been used, not only as sustenance, but when prepared by loving hands, as an expression of that great love. Many of our most cherished memories center around a meal, and the wonderful textures, colors, and aromas that are part of that experience, and most importantly, those who share it with us. Food doesn’t even have to be that good or perfect to have a place in our hearts if it was made by someone we cherish.
Ya, absolutely, that's what the thing that brings our family together at the same time. When it's made by our beloved ones' hands, it's not just a "meal", it's their "love". And even if there are any imperfections, it's perfect in itself! It never has to be perfect. lots of memories are being created at the meal time. Those silly but cute talks, sharing our - trashy, cheesy, tired, bored, exhausted, wonderful, disgusting, enjoyed, hyped, happy, great or worst - day's incidents at the time of meal. We share what happened today and hear it as well, and that's when we really feel so loved! food never have to be perfect, it's perfect in itself with those tiny imperfections! It's always full of love of our beloveds!
Just right now I realised how grateful I'm for having everyday meal with my family!
I love it!
The regrets... My mom died almost 7 years ago because of cancer. I hate myself for not spending much time with mom. Until now, I still can't move on for what happened... And everytime I saw someone hurting their mothers, I feel so angry that they can't value the moment with their mom. Mothers are unreplaceable! Their love, comfort, hugs and kisses are just so warm that you can't find it anywhere except for mother. I miss my mom so bad
I'm so sorry for your lost but I know she will always love you so don't be sad 💞💞
@@fatima.999 thank you... I'm on my last year of my highschool and I'm going to graduate soon. It would be nice if my mom could go with me and receive my awards on that day...
@@kimj02 she always next to you 💜
I cried too when the Mom and the Daughter were together in bed crying, I could just relate, it made me realize that I should appreciate my Mommy and how she's here for me!😭💗
I love my mom alot and now I’m 19 and I decided I will love her till the last breath of mine and please love your mothers even though they are not perfect. Biggest gift I ever received is my parents.
A mother's love is unconditional and everlasting. A mother's love is a special bond between a mother and her child that can never be broken. Mothers will give up their own happiness for the sake of their children. The love a mother has for her children cannot be measured or described in words.❤❤❤😢😢
did we all just stumble upon this film at the same time? lol
Lol we did every comments are from just a few hours ago
Lmao....scary how true it is
omg we did
Brought me to tears: it’s my story too. My mom is a single mom, who was over-protective. She knocked on my door just like that when I was upset at her and locked myself in my room. She never apologized but always cooked a nice meal for me until we made up. My story differs in that my mom is still with me and I now cherish her very much. I wish all great amazing mothers in the world are healthy and happy and all daughters and sons would appreciate, love, and cherish our dear moms.
So often we forget what's really important in life.
"Mom" is a term commonly used to refer to a mother, typically by young children or in an affectionate way. Moms play a significant role in a child's life, providing love, care, support, and guidance. They are often seen as the primary caregiver and nurturer within a family. Mom is a term that conveys a sense of closeness, warmth, and comfort between a child and their mother.

This was so beautiful and I cried my eyes out. Mothers are so important, so we must cherish them while we can. As a Christian, I'm comforted knowing we will see many lost loved ones in heaven someday.
Yes my religion too helps me to be more comfortable about death
Sometimes I'm too tired as a mother and being so hard on my baby daughters. I often ask for their apologies before bed times. They always say "It's ok mom. I'm okay" while holding my hands half sleeping. Those moments.....are the most heartbreaking for me. I feel I need to be a better mom. No matter how many times I ask for their apologies I just can't forgive my mistakes. I think that's the most difficult thing as a mother...realizing that parents are nothing without learning from their children. They are the best teachers. I hope my kids know how much I love them.
I'm Asian too
Mother's love and father's love knows no bounds
Mother's cooking is not only delicious food, but also medicines that bring happiness to the heart 🥺 ❤️
This filled my heart with guilt as sometimes how we forget the sacrifices of our parents but they still forgive us and love us.
Last summer at age 70, I was bedridden for months before my open heart surgery. My daughter Mary, adopted from China, moved in and cared for me. After my surgery my other daughter Elizabeth, also adopted from China, moved in and cared for me. I am a very lucky mother! 👩🏻👩🏻
Best wishes for you and your family 🤍
I made the mistake of watching this at work. Now I'm sobbing.
This mother daughter relationship was so so so so very beautiful!!
And the film a tearjacker...... 😢😢😢😢😢😢
No one's parents should ever die!!! 💔💔💔💔
Não deveriam mesmo. Mas se até o filho de Deus,morreu. Como não morrer. Essa é a nossa natureza. Triste, mas é a nossa natureza.
Why does animated food always look better than real food?
Goodness, I always say that I don’t cry very easily, like school stress doesn’t get to me.
But oh, give me an 8 minute film about the story of a daughter and her loving mother and I sob in the first two minutes. It’s because I applied my own mother to this story, so realizing that one day, she will pass onto Heaven (presumably before me) just kicks up the waterworks. And not just my own unconditionally loving dear mother of mine, everyone I know and love will pass eventually. Gives me a bittersweet feeling as I cry, trying to keep a smile on my face. We’ll all see each other in the afterlife which makes me unbelievably happy, but just for the moment, in my living state, I cry about the inevitable deaths of everyone and the feeling of loss I will have.
Right now going through the same emotion... You have written down what I am feeling...thank you..
You literally took the words out of my mouth! Well said.
I PROMISE MYSELF TO TAKE CARE OF MY PARENTS , TRY MY BEST NOT HURTING THEM TO MOST
AND MAKE THEM PROUD
A very emotional story, this is how life goes on, we love our parents we quarrel with them, we lose them someday, and when we miss them we have nothing to do without looking at our children to recall their memories in ourselves.
This is a very beautiful story with a very good moral value. The story makes me wonder what it would have been like growing with a mom. And now, a mother myself, with grown up sons that live in another place, I hope they will remember not only my discipline but also how much I love them. Thank you so much for this touching film.
@ VDMac
They WILL remember!
Take it from the 7th of 10 kids……..
Mom and dad had 5 boys and 5 girls……
Dad spent most of his life in the Navy….. Mom got her Cosmetology license and opened up a small shop in the basement.
We all grew up and “ scattered “ our separate ways.
We thought the parents would ALWAYS be there forever…. Lol
Most of us………Came to visit very rarely …. Including myself… sad to say……
Some of us …. Went to the military…… some got married…..
a couple of us are still trying to figure it out…….over 60 years later…. Lol
As I returned home 15 years ago;
( in between jobs) ; mom insisted that me and my 12 year old son stay there till I got on my feet…..
my older brother lived there already ( watching over her )since dad died
(never ever got
along my brother ) …..
and I now share our childhood home of 53 years….. go figure… lol
Anyway,
With Mom and dad both gone now …… I take the time to plant new annuals next to mom’s perennials each year……..
No…… none of us said:
“ WE LOVE YOU “ quite enough 😢 ………
But…. Mom and dad’s spirit seems to be smiling at us from above……..
We ALL have talked about the LOVE WE HAD FOR THOSE 2 SPECIAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And……. We all wonder where are head’s were at?????
Now, at 67….. I work in the yard alone….. and think of my moms conversations…. And…. her smile….. those dimples!!!!!!
She LOVED WATCHING OPRAH…. with donuts and coffee together…
NOW…. We dumb kids…. All with gray hair….. AGREE…… they were our
POT OF GOLD….. AND THE RAINBOW………
in our lives…….!!!!
And….. as a BONUS…….
….both mom and dad VISIT US ….
in our dreams once in awhile……
and talk about the most MUNDANE THINGS……
and… it’s just wonderful!!!!!🕯
Life sometimes overshadows the important things…… but… a moms and dads…. share a bond….. that acts as
everlasting confirmation….
…… that they were loved back in the day….
…….. and…..
………….. EVEN MORE NOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
God bless you VD Mac🌿
😭😭 I didn't expect that I would cry like this. I want to remind everyone that It is important to spend your days with your parents.
There's nothing painful than to live without the person you used to live your life to. A person who's with you while you eat, when you go somewhere, when you feel alone. Until you finally literally alone. It's hard to learn to live alone when gou used to live each basis of your life with that person.
This hit hard
I don't like how our things get changed with parents as we grow up 😢 I always love you mom & dad ❤️
As we are humans, unfortunately , we realize everything late and we are disappointed with what we lost already. That's why We should value people around us especially our family members all the time because they are only ones who can stand with us over our whole life and no one is immortal in this worldly life
🫂❤️
I can't imagine my life without my lovely mother... I just can't....
As you can see in the whole video there's always food. Giving food or cooking food represents love in Asian family.
made me think about my sick mum 😞 Beautiful story! Appreciate your parents peeps, you never know when it's last time you talk to them...
The time pass by but we have to realise the love between us and our family before it gets too late
