Parents getting old is one of the scariest thoughts i have
I agree, but we all face it at some point
the fact that one day they will just be a memory makes me wanna cry my heart out
watching them losing their health and you being stronger is harmful and scary
@@salimbatel6571 And someday it will be his turn to lose health while his children will get stronger. I personally like to think that we're not 20, 30 or 40 years old, we're millions of years old, because we're the consequence of our parents, being themselves a consequences of their parents and so on. I think that's why caring about our family is important.
Same
Your dad sounds like the expectation that most adults fail to achieve.
Facts!
@@DonaldSeymourjr faxx
true
When I was a child, living at home with my parents. My dad was a total asshole who ruled over us with an iron fist.
He cared about himself more than he cared about us.
@@daoyang223 Sorry to hear that, bud, hope you learned from his mistakes and will do your best at respecting your wife and your children. All the best to ya!
A satisfied life is better than a successful life. Because our success is measured by others, but our satisfaction is measured by our own soul, mind and heart. 💫
Wow man that really got me thinking, I really felt that one.
@@KoolNoize same here... makes you really think of the perspective of what's important in our life.
Yeah u just put yourself down if u think about others and compare yourself to them
No our satisfaction is messured by a concious and sub concious thought of nothing missing, content on the other hand is when you hit a baseline that is enough for that you can justify not fighting for more. Satisfaction is about sucess and content is a neutral
To me, a satisfied life is a successful one
Never take your dad for granted. Being a single mother’s son, I aim to be everything my father wasn’t.
thank you so much for the reminder!!
Same. @ice1cube Your dad is an inspiration. I can only wish to be half the man your dad is.
Okay but what if your dad died from his selfish addictions when you were just a kid.....what am I supposed to do about that?

am I've never done drugs. I'm very against them. This is shitty advice that is a no brainer

Good luck mate. Me too.

I was born in the Philippines, my dad sacrificed his engineering job to move to the UK, he now works in a warehouse. Respect to all the dads out there that sacrificed everything for their families!!!
totally agree!! and I love your pfp lol lol
@Saami Zakir why does he put up with such people? Would they have had respect for him if he made money doing something illegal or immoral? Smh some people are disgusting oxygen wasters.
why couldn't he do engineering in uk lol ?

This man has a whole library of child memories.
A relatively rich family, or else won't be able to have taken so many videos. Back then, having a photo taken was considered to be a luxury.
@@pokeypsu07 Nothing special. Just stating what I think, like the way you're stating what you think. It is so nice to have all those precious moments captured since childhood. Truly a real library of child memories, which not many of us have.
Carer's stress is real and he's depressed. He can't take care of your mum because he sees that the love of his life is slowly dying. So he's dying too. Your dad has been grieving the loss of your mum. Please get your dad some help. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he literally can't.
Such a touching video man. So sorry to hear about your mom, but thank you for sharing this amazing collection of stories.

He sounds like an amazing father.
thank you jen he is!!
Lots of men out there, few can be called a good man like your father. Let him know that.
I will thank you!
You made me cry. Your dad is depressed. He honestly can't help himself. Be patient. Your dad I'd still Superman.
Immigrant parents are unbelievably strong, I can’t even begin to imagine how I can surpass my parents. Their sacrifices are something I can never repay.
Oh my goodness SAME. My parents both grew up in Mexico and my father has always told me interesting and beautiful stories about his first experiences in America and his childhood in Jalisco. He would tell me about the 89’ earthquake. California has demographically reached its highest population and he would tell me about how lonely it was 30 years ago. He had to make so much sacrifices like leaving his toxic sisters after using him for money after he got married with my mom. I can talk about my mother all day as well. But besides the point, immigrants continue to be one of the strongest people; they come from nothing but give more than enough to their family, the community, and their countries currently and back at home. I want to become an attorney in the future and honestly, I’d do anything to repay my parents and help out the less fortunate. Because of my parents being such hard working people, my mother creating like the matriarchy, I’ve grown and become a very comprehensive student and person. Immigrant parents are tough on us but they’re the best.
True.
Many years ago, my mom was in the hospital for a number of years after a brain injury which left her mentally disabled. During this period (mid 1980s), my Dad was under enormous pressure. At the time, myself or my brother (7 and 8 years old) did not see his pain, as he continued to work hard on our farm, care for our mom, and put on a brave and strong image. One day when my brother and I were at school, there was a knock on the classroom door and it was our dad, asking the teacher if we could be excused, which had never happened before or since. Basically, he needed our help with a cow that refused to come out of the barn, and when the three of us got back to the farm and removed the cow which was surprisingly easy to do, everything was fine and my dad went back to work. But I just knew there was more to the story and I never forgot that day.
Many years later during one of our heart to hearts, my dad mentioned this occasion to me. He told me that he had been so weighed down by watching his wife slowly drift away from him, watching her beauty and character fade before his eyes, and also having to deal with the crushing medical bills and a hard and demanding job, that he was pushed to the edge of despair. On top of this, my parents had a five year old son that died in a tragic farming accident a year before I was born, for which my Dad never forgave himself and all this with my Mom must have been piling more and more misery on top for him. On that particular day, when this cow made his daily life even more unmanageable, he had a sudden and powerful urge to end it all and stop the pain by throwing himself into the large manure pit only feet away, from which there would be no escape. He said that an image of his boys flashed before his eyes and he darted out of that barn and away from the pit as hard as he could and straight into his car to remove us from school. Myself or my brother didn't know it then, but our dad had been very close to ending it all and we had indirectly saved him.
We often don't appreciate what is happening to our loved ones behind their facade. Your Dad is understandably broken by this experience but I also think that clinical depression could be playing a big role, like I know it was for my Dad. Clinical depression is a debilitating illness, every bit as damaging as the one your mother is suffering through right now. It deprives the individual of a rational train of thought and sucks from them their enthusiasm for life and ability to cope with even the slightest hardships, effectively turning them into a shell of their former selves. There are many wonderful medications that will improve his mood and give him back his rational thought processes and hopefully allow him to be stronger during these troubled times. If he keeps going the way he is going, then it will be hard to recover, especially as he reflects back on this time and how much of a disappointment he will feel like he was to you and the family. I think medical intervention is something you should seriously look into as it may give him the strength he needs right now and will hopefully set him on a better path going forward and allow him to participate more in your mother's care, which I am sure he wishes he could do. Good luck man.
Edit: I should also mention here that my dad passed away in August of this year at the ripe old age of 83. After his own hard life experiences, he dreaded getting sick and becoming a burden to those around him but thankfully he was lucky enough to bow out the way he always wished, in reasonably good health and in a fast and painless manner. He had many major things go wrong in his life but I am grateful that he was given the ending he always wanted. RIP Dad and thanks for everything.
sean thank you so much for your incredible story and advice. I appreciate your candid sharing and valuable insight. I will take your advice to heart and see what I can do to help him. I appreciate you my friend
I’m not fucking tearing up, you are!
Keep being strong my man!!
This is the first time I teared up after reading a comment on the internet
@@siu281 Thanks man I had a good cry just reading it again myself. I edited the post with my dad's passing this year. Happy that he got to bow out in the way he wanted.
unfortunately I can’t relate to this, my dad is mentally abusive and he is a selfish insecure man. but this inspires me a lot to be a good and decent person. I hope you’re doing better now dude
I'm sorry to hear that my friend, I appreciate your honesty. sending you love my friend

@@extraordinary.9711 unfortunately I can't relate either
@@extraordinary.9711 Your dad sucks, do not talk to him forever.
On this Thanksgiving my family asked what I was most thankful for. I replied: "I'm thankful I was born into a solid family that stuck together and a family who's parents didn't divorce"
The greatest privilege you can have in life is two good parents who stay together
amen james!!! I love it
People give up so easily nowadays. They don’t understand that you aren’t supposed to just give up when things get tough.
Believe me, that is music to your parent's ears! Both of my sons told me that they hoped to have a marriage like their mother and late father. They said that our love was so obvious and made them feel secure and loved also.
Gosh, this one hit home. I'm Ethiopian American, and my parents too sacrificed everything and brought me and my siblings here at a young age to give us a better life. I get frustrated often with my dad, but that feeling is often followed with guilt (he changed his life for me) and compassion (he's human too, and has struggles). It's easy to idealize someone who has been so strong for so long, and it's just as easy to be disappointed when we see their weakness. Our parents are our superheroes.
Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful. God's grace is sufficient for your dad, and I pray he finds Christ's strength in this time of weakness.
thank you so much for your kind words and support Rebecca!!
Well said Rebecca 👏
Thanks Rebecca. Well expressed. I totally agree. Blessings to you and yours
So relatable. And understanding comes as we age ourselves, just how difficult it must've been to start new roots in a foreign land ❤
When you said, “you’re disappointed in me, aren’t u”
I teared up.
Hearing that from family feels so heavy.
Our parents are those we can never repay even if we had more than one lifetime.
Good parents*
this is so true
@@von6413 amen lol.
@@Go_Further hence why good parents* My friend is going through the same thing with her parents so I really feel for her.
This made me cry. Immigrant parents are super heroes.
Dude, ur dad is a LEGEND! Always, strong, always wise & loving. The only time he showed any weakness is when mum is sick. Please give ur dad a hug, from all the sons of other legendary dads.
thank you Aaron!!
Men as his generation mostly have a hard time to processing their own emotion. Your mom was your dad’s inner voice and his heart/emotion translator. Without her, you dad cannot express his feelings and therefore starts withering. Please understand and support him. Power to you Frank!
He loves your mother. It pains him emotionally and physically to see your mom this way and not have the emotional, physical and monetary capability of caring for her. So it takes a lot (emotionally and physically) for your father to try to not cry in anguish in these trying times and take care of her selflessly, with not even a "I love you" from her, backed with decades of love and memories behind it. Dare I say he might question his faith in these trying times, but that's why you're here to return the investment of love to them.
You are strong brother, emotionally and physically. They used to hold your hands, to help lead you on your path when you wobbled as a baby, it is time for you to lead and grab their hands as they stumble. Your dad was the pinnacle of manliness in your heart growing up. It is time for your to show your interpretations of his lessons and manliness by claiming your role as the head of your household. Show them more love than they showed you.
I envy your family's love, it is something I never had for or felt from my father.
Stay strong. I will be here cheering you on till my last breath!
thank you so much my dear friend!!!
Came accross one of your videos recommended hope he gets better and also you as well you lost came out with the courage to talk in a rational way.Respect
Thank you so much such a beautiful comment you had written here

the self sacrificing father. a true relatable immigration story just like my own dad. so selfless and daring but the only time ive seen my father cried was when my grandmother passed. thanks again frank for sharing these hard stories
thank you simon my friend
My parents are the same
My father was the exact same. When my grandmother past away from corona, it was my first time ever seeing my father cry and my father was a tough strong person
@Rudol Von Stroheim lmao I’m born in America
I feel so sad for your dad as well. He’s very depressed, and really needs help. Can you imagine as much as he loves your mom how difficult it is for him to watch her slowly slip away? He probably feels like a failure because he can’t stop it, he can’t save the love of his life. So heartbreaking...I hope you get help for him...
Sounds like, for your father, these weren’t sacrifices but rather the steps needed for a better life for his family. The absolute epitome of a true man.
9:37 "You're disappointed in me, aren't you?" I burst into tears after that.
Same 😭😭
You went from someone who was spoiled rotten and couldn't see beyond himself, to someone who's making a lot of growth and helping others open their eyes..
thank you!!!
So many people are really spoiled in a negative way. I think like teenager years and certain early years we can all be very bad for certain reasons. The thing is we can all change
Dad's don't get enough love man
My dad is incredible. My dad and my grandmother. Those are my parents

Wandered onto this randomly thanks to the UA-cam algorithm and I just wanted to say this is an amazing video. Your father is an amazing and special man
thank you so much jay
I never had a father figure in life... but this inspires me to be the father I never had
as a 16 yr old with immigrant parents, i have to say this video really was a wake up call for me. sure, i've always gotten good grades and have worked hard for the things i love, but for the past 3 years or so, my motivation has just been on a downward spiral, and i have noticed that i may even act somewhat disrespectful towards my own parents. watching this really made me realise the sacrifice they made by leaving their country behind and starting a new life in a completely different place that doesn't even use the same alphabet, and it has motivated me to work with passion and be grateful for everything i have. not only that, but it also brought a reassuring calmness, knowing that the stress i am going through/might go through is nothing important. this video really made me tear up, and i'm not an even remotely emotional guy. thank you from the bottom of my hear for making this. i wish you the best
thank you my friend!! much love to you and your parents
This video genuinely made me cry as I thought about my dad. He moved our family from India to Singapore when I was just 4 years old, leaving his family and friends that he'd known his whole life. Then, he lost his job in 2008 with a company that he'd worked with for a decade after spending just two years in a new country. Despite all that, he started his own company at the age of 40, took our family around the world as my mom's job kept moving her to different countries and somehow kept his company running throughout it all. Even now, living in America, he works during the night to work in Singapore time and sleeps during the day so he can keep our family fed.
your dad is such an incredible person and I'm so glad you see that, I appreciate you so much thank you so much for sharing, much love to you and your family
I hope that one day I can be as wise, and as conscious about the world as you.
U are already wise if you watch this channel
@@jeffk4710 true true

This video made me realize how I know so little about my own dad. Growing up I used to be afraid of my dad, because he wasn't a bright person and I only have memories of him mad. I am now in my twenties and I am still, lowkey, afraid of him and I have yet to have an adult conversation with him, so seeing this video makes me want to sit down and talk about his experience in life. This video made me realize how I should cherish my parents more, so thank you for this!
Im happy your dad is your legendary hero. There needs to be more of that everywhere.
thank you so much
Wow, I cried at this, especially when you showed your mom in the dementia stage. I feel bad that she cannot experience the feeling of not experiencing, just in a constant limbo. Look out for the stage, without description.
thank you my friend
"Without description". You'd heard it too?
@@nickanthropocene6502 Yes, except the song didn't make me cry, but whenever I saw people with dementia, it made me think about my loved ones, it changed me.
@@TerribleTonyShow Same. I'd never really thought about the disease, but listening to that 6 hour album sent me down a rabbit-hole of uncomfortable research, opened my eyes to what I'd unconsciously but deliberately kept them closed to, and reformed how I saw death.
Never really seen a Taiwanese English speaking youtubers making contents this personal
Your dad had grown a great grateful man
And you've made my day
I am not sure how you've managed to recite that whole story without completely breaking into tears. because this is the second video I've seen from your channel, and I've never lost a parent or grandparent, and i bawled.
Your life and your channel is a gem. I would usually think presenting my life on UA-cam wouldn't make any sense and would just be to stroke my own ego. But what you're doing is important, good job man.
thank you alexandre I really appreciate you!
1:10 the fact that he took that photo is actually amazing. It must mean alot to you!
this actually brought me to tears and reminded me of how often i have taken my parents for granted.

This videos is giving me that "I need to call my dad" feeling
You're such an amazing son for staying strong for your mum and dad, you were so lucky to have them raise you, and now they're lucky to be taken care of by you.
Most people would put their parents into a nursing home by now.
You're an inspiration to me to treat my mum better while I still can.
thank you so much serena!! much love to you and your mom!!!
The timing of me finding this video is so appropriate, its like life trying to tell me something, and I'm sorry for what's happened to your mother...
thank you so much for watching
your father is the type of father i'd like to be some day. he did a great job raising good kids
thank you so much he sure did
Its crazy how fast you can go from not having a care in the world relying on your parents for most things then suddenly having them have to rely on you for everything even the most basic stuff. I've gone through it recently aswell, its a nuts transition.
OMG! our lives are so parallel. I'm also an AsianAmerican. My father brought us also here to give us a better opportunity. Fast forward my mom had a stroke and brain tumor. My father who was a doctor watched my mother deteriorate for 10 more years. We watched him in anguish and despair. My dad was our rock but he was too tired. So my siblings and I took turn to care for my mom the last 3 years of her life. Shockingly my dad died 8 months before my mom did. The one thing that keep us strong is the hope in Jesus!
sending you and your family so much love my friend!!! thank you so much for sharing your story, I'm so sorry for your losses my friend!!

I’ll never understand what my parents sacrificed for me either, pretty crazy how similar their story is to that of your parents. I was never able to thank my dad for all he sacrificed for my family before he passed away and it’s the biggest regret i have in life. Thanks for sharing this man, the amount of empathy and humility you embody is inspiring.
love you Kevin and mandy!!!
honestly, like father like son. frank. i can see his kindness in you
Sometimes we keep forgetting our parents are human too...remember him as the hero you always admire, forgive him as human are always with flaw
Don’t know what kind of “resentment” could you harbor against this man, nobody is perfect and this man has tried to do right for his family. My dad passed but I had resentment towards him, he just kinda hung around and did little to build me up as a man. Thankfully I was able to forgive him and be at peace with him before he passed. I’ll be watching your video again for strength and inspiration as I am now a father myself. Awesome blueprint of what kind of work us fathers need to put into our families. Thank you for this, I really needed this.
I feel bad for discovering you just today.
I appreciate you
Stories like this reaffirm my desire to start a family. Thank you for taking the time.
thank you my friend! best wishes to you
.... haven't cried like this since that break up in high school.
Man, this whole channel hits home for me. I'm right around your age and was also brought up in American by two loving parents. I too witnessed the decline of my mother's health through the years of having heart issues and eventually passing away last year due to COVID. You've done a really beautiful job of externalizing what I imagine many individuals in our age bracket are going through at this time with aging parents. Like yourself, I don't think I truly understood the magnitude of the struggle my parents were going through at younger ages. Now that I am their age now with a partner and child, I have come to sincerely appreciate the level of stoicism and sacrifice required to navigate oneself at this stage of life.
Thanks for your content. May you look back 10 years from today and label this time as the "good old days", despite the challenges that currently face you. And I don't need to be the one to tell you, but cherish the time with your mom.
thank you so much for your kind words my friend. I'm sorry for your loss as well, much love my friend
My dad has that trait of putting his children first before himself. One of the simple things he shows that was by giving us the new gadgets we want, or whatever it is we ask for, but doesn't spend money on what he wants personally.
You were right all along. Your dad is a superman. It's great to see you're appreciating that fact and sharing it with us. He must be immensely proud of the man you've become.
thank you so much carmine!

I love my parents and i will become somebody before i leave this world and give every luxury and support my parents provided me
More power to you brother❤️
thank you my friend!! sending you and your parents love
I think similar thoughts about my parents. I look at where I am and wonder how they had such a hard time figuring things out like investing for retirement for so long. But they came from poorer families with less direction and I have to empathize.
I think even with your dad, nothing can prepare people for this kind of loss. Death is one thing, but a slow, bleeding loss of someone or something that you can't do anything to fix is just an extended amount of pain. Your dad spent his life building relationships and investing time into his family, and now he's losing it to no fault of his own. I'm glad you're taking time to reflect before giving into feelings of resentment towards your father.
thank you Ethan! you are so right and I totally agree and share the exact same sentiments. thank you my friend
My heart is aching at the asian hate crimes happening currently people really cant see past a face sometimes ... I grew up with my moms best friends kids who were from the Philippines and they're still the best people I've ever met in my entire life and I still struggle to stay in contact with them during covid

All you've said about your father can also be applied to my mother. She escaped war torn Sudan (In Africa) to come to Canada and has never stopped working since.
And now that I'm a 25 year old man graduated uni and working I feel like shit because I never truly appreciated her story and her struggle.
One night I just sat down and cried, because there was so much shit she went through that I was completely blind to. Not to mention she lost her husband (my father) in the process and came to a foreign country to raise 4 kids on her own.
I'd break in an instant under those circumstances.
thank you so much for sharing my friend, much love to you and your mother you are both incredible
She’s a rock star
Its times like today when I realize how great the internet truly is. These past few days I've been questioning a lot about myself and my life as I realize how much I still need to grow as a person. Yesterday I faced the greatest test life has ever put in my place and as I sat in my bed this morning I found your video on why you started working out. I've been binging your chanel for hours now as I do my schoolwork and many of those questions I had about life have been answered or just worry me less. Thank you for sharing everything you do it really does make an impact 🤍
thank you Joshua!!!
ur just like me
A few things man. As a Christian myself seeing the level of dedication in your dad helps remind me that there are no shortcuts in faith. Also I just found your channel but I appreciate how real its is. I never come across videos like this that are so raw and real. You just make your story and what your are actually feeling and thinking into a video. Something about knowing that someone else feels like they might not have all the answers is reassuring. Im hitting a crossroads in my own life and something like this is inspiring in so many ways but helping me remember that I do this for the Lord no matter how hard it gets its also reassuring. Thank you.
thank you Wyatt I really appreciate your support. thank you my friend
This is just so heartbreaking. I honestly wish i could do something to help. As sad as it was, the story telling was so beautiful, i felt every word. He clearly did an amazing job raising a family and im so happy that his efforts are being acknowledged not only by you but your viewers as well. Crazy amount of respect for your family frank, wishing you all the best
thank you Kevin I appreciate you!
both my parents are nurses and my 2 sisters and I caught it from them. My dad is in unstable condition in icu on a incubator, and my mom is doing alright with just SOB just using a nasal cavity. But this video just made me tear up and reminisce my experience with my mom and dad when I was a kid, when they would support me in sports and spoil my sisters throughout our school days with a really low paying job and just thinking about how they moved to Canada (From the Philippines) made alot of sacrifices so my sisters and i didnt have to go through what hey went through.
This video really made me expressed my gratitude even more towards my parents. thank you
I hope you are all ok... did your dad recover? So sorry you’ve had to go through this :(
@@joycohen938 he passed last week of jan. Yea im still recovering but it gets better with time
I like your profile picture. Also can't relate because my dad was physically and emotionally abusive to the family. You're lucky to have had such a caring father.
lol I like your profile picture too. much love to you my friend I appreciate you
I'm not sure how I ended up on this channel, but your perspective and gratitude for your father is heartwarming. Try not to be too hard on yourself.
thank you Josh!!
Men through divine command and society's expectations are the protectors and providers of their family this is why a man has to be strong, wise, stoic, and a leader of others, this isn't toxic masculinity this is real life and it's why I can understand when your dad said "You're disappointed in me aren't you". The guilt of not providing for his family like he wanted to hurt him that's why I believe he asked you that question and he must have wanted some support from you. Being a father is hard but not many people will understand.
This made me cry man I’m going through a similar situation and realised why I get frustrated and how little the reason is for this anger I get
sending you love my friend
I realized that our parents are not perfect, they are just human like everyone else. We all make mistakes and we go through different seasons of our lives. Praying for your family.
It is credibly painful seeing your once strong capable loving parents turning into vulnerable children who now need us to Help meet not just her physical needs but mental emotional and even provide spiritual encouragement♥️
thank you letty!!
Im going to tell my dad that i appreciate every single thing hes done for me and my family
I’m Laos/Japanese/Thai and i feel like i could really relate to this, I appreciate how much you care about your parents, Much love keep doing what your doing🥇
thank you Kai!
This video made me cry! I am not East Asian but my parents are African immigrants to the West. Our cultures are very similar (focus on education, faith, respect for elders etc). They too packed up and left everything they knew to give their future children a fighting chance. I never truly understood why they were so tough on us about academic success until my early 20s! I am proud to be their daughter. My parents really suffered and they just didn't want us to suffer too. God bless your parents, I wish them well.
thank you H Y!! I appreciate you thank you so much for sharing your experience too
You don’t need to understand it, you just need to try and replicate it. Make him proud
Your father was incredible. The strength of a devoted man 💕
thank you my friend!

I don't even know how I clicked on this video, but I'm staying on this rollercoaster
thank you so much for watching
Man, all those Ninjas cutting onions....
Wow. I can't even imagine what it took to even write this script, let alone edit it. Much respect. Thank you.
thank you peter
This video gave me a big realization on the heavy and hard truth of love and parenthood. I can relate to the immigrant aspect since both my parents are from Mexico. Leaving your family and friends behind and moving to the states wasn't easy and came with plenty of challenges, like the language barrier, and the adaptation to the everyday American lifestyle. My father sweating and bleeding everyday on his low paying job for 30 years and providing food to our stomach and a roof over out head, is something I will never come close to grasp on. I truly love and appreciate the overcomings of challenges that both my parents went through to make sure me and my siblings live out a normal life.
Your Dad is a wise man love him unconditionally ❤️
