I think i achieved what i want from this video.Our parents really deserve love,respect and care from us.I really appreciate what you said after watching this video.God bless you all.
it totally depends. My mother was not patient at all, she was violent and s abusive. Why should I respect her but I loved the video and had tears in my eyes watching it...
Tarangita Shantam Know for sure that your mother had shown you patience that you will never be able to meet in your life: she carried you for months (with all the suffering it comes with) and she is most probably the one who took care of you while you were helpless baby.
Lost my Dad 31 years ago aged just 42, 6 months after his father died, and now I'm ten years older than he was when he passed, oh how I would love to sit on a bench in the park with my Dad now, who would only just have turned 74 and give him a hug whilst my 2 Grandsons played ball . R.I.P Dad n Grandad .
How Pokémon my Dad was 42 when he past his Dad my Grandad was 75 6 months before, I'm now 52 my Dad would now be 74 if he was still alive and I am a granddad myself to 4 boys . hope this helps .
A lot of us as our parents get old, seem to forget the love they showed us when we were young. They sacrificed for us and never complained, yet when they repeat over and over the same question sometimes,either from hearing loss, dementia,we lose our temper,then we catch ourselves....The video is so true, always LOVE, Respect and Care for your parents. I See so many people dump their parents in nursing homes cause they are in the way. Sure the ones that are sick is different. But if u can care for ur parent till the end, then do it..They did for u all their life and never complained.
I agree with you the other day I was having a cigarette and I notice this lady was walking with a about three or four grocery bags in her hands and her son in his mid twenties was walking ahead of her he was not helping her he was walking so fast and he was telling her to hurry up hurry up you are walking too slow mom hurry up I went over and I ask the lady if she needed any help she refused but still I should have punched her son in the head that was disgusting and his poor mother was walking so slow because the bags were heavy and her stupid lazy son could not give a shit
+33kingofkings Good, u had guts a lot don't. Don't think I would have gone to the mother, she was more than likely embarrassed. I would have gone to the son, and told him to take his moms bags, and walk with her as slow as she might have been. He sounds like a moron and selfish, and If I saw that on the street, I''d be the first to say something. Like the other night, this has nothing to do with this story, but thought I would share. I saw a man, middle age I guess, walking his dog. Looks as if the man was very mad at the dog, for not doing his business as fast as the man might have wanted. Or something else?Then I saw the man take the leash and whip the dog like he was a piece of shit. Started to kick the dog and listening to the dog cry.I went over an yelled at the man, he told me where to go. I did not go away, the little doggie was shaking. I called the cops, they came right down. I told the story, got it on my cell phone anyway. Not sure what happened, but they did take the man away, and someone from his family came over and took the dog in horror.Jist of this story and yours is, we can't just walk away, close our eyes, or look the other way, as most Americans do. We are a nation, unlike all of Europe and the rest of the world. Our nation seems not to want to get involved. Sure we stop for the car accidents and injured. That is human nature. As is the dog story. People love dogs. But, domestic issues outside ones home or homeless people in trouble, people walk right by. Americans don't even say hello, instead the "HEAD" drops fast.. We have all seen this. Go to Europe or Australian and see strangers saying "Good Day" or Hello to strangers. It's really nice to see. What are we a shy country, that could care less about common courtesy?I have been in Europe when people have had enough, and instead of hiding in their living rooms with the shades drawn, doors locked, and TV blaring, people take to the streets in thousands and protest. A shame we as Americans don't do the same?? Thanks all for listening. I am sure I will get a lot of HATE mail, but its ok, we all have our opinions.
John Luciano I don't have anything against the Americans or Canada but you are right about one thing in Europe if you don't like something they start burning their own streets it may be a tad overboard but they do protest in the thousands they go absolutely fucking nuts if something is not going right it's true that's what American Canada should start doing spill to the fuckin streets and start protesting in the thousands and thousands but they don't do that I don't know why
that is right us we Filipino we have strong family tie ups and we never ever let our parent suffer when they are old...but their gone at an early age it is difficult to leave without them it is because your sibling doesn't understand every part of you...sad but that's life
I needed to see this. My Dad is 78 and has been forgetting everything and we have to repeat over and over and we get frustrated. This was a great wake up call, thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏻
Spend as much quality time with him as you can, 'cause you don't know how long you'll get to do that. Both of my parents are now gone and I miss them both.
I went through the same thing get frustrated with my dad not hearing what I was saying or what my kids were saying too. I even yelled at him to how stubborn he was. Through all that yelling I did, he still was the most loving and caring person I've ever met in my life. He passed 2 years ago, deaf and stubborn as he was I miss him so much and have to live with myself on how I got mad at him just for being old. You don't know what you have till that person is gone.
My hurt results from the fact that as my parents became older, I would become bored listening to them discuss things in their lives. I would want to get the discussion over with, rush out, and be on my way to things I wanted to do. But then each one of my parents died unexpectedly, a few years apart. Now I wish I could spend hours with them, listening to how their day went. With their passing, my wholeness as a person, ceased to exist. Pieces of me went with them. There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear them speak to me again ! My advice to all of you whose parent (s) are still around, give them your time. Once they're gone, the hurt is forever present. I love and miss you mom and dad. I'm sorry for not giving you more of my time.
ValentineDayTwin Hey there, I'm so sorry for your loss and I must say, I also missed so much precious time with my Dad, especially in the very years- or months - before I lost him. But then, he did come back from his deathbed once when we already thought he was gone, and I was so in shock and terrified that in the end I may have just failed him at that time because I could barely talk... anyways, the important memories, those that are supposed to last, are not those "famous last words" we see in movies (in my case: seeya tomorrow then) but the ones we have kept in our memories from those very special moments, the ones we won't forget and the only ones that count. I know what you're saying though, there's this piece of my soul missing that can never be replaced
Crystella312 IlikePotatoes yeah i lost my mom at 7 haf now im 11 half i miss her here and there but my picture of her in my mind are blurry so i have to watch videos of her sometimes to remember what it was like to have a mom i still get question why don't i ever see your mom or wheres your mom or tell your mom to sign this or give this to your mom im like dad
This brought me to tears. I lost my elderly father late last year and at times I would get very short with him. I was his caretaker for years and it took a toll on me. I started to eat and drink to levels. When he said he was "doing the best he can", I pulled back and learned patience. He taught me a lesson as his son. I'm grateful that I was with him with the moment he passed. Boys tend to be close to their mothers. I held my composure when she passed and he was inconsolable and became worse when I told him I loved him and tried to do the best I could to comfort him. I grieve more with his passing because he was the last parent. Pull back and smile even though you get angry and feel hostage to an elderly parent. The man had pride and wouldn't let me clean him until close to the end. You get use to the Assisted Living Management calls at all hours. My father taught me a lesson with his decline and I hope I don't live until my mid-nineties. He never complained despite mine. We all have a sparrow story as we're all marching in this direction. That's all I wanted to express. This son is probably forty or so. I'm much older. Be grateful for the time you have with them as your mind will haunt you and you will explode in tears and cannot stop. It comes in a second.
Nicely said man. As you said, life can completely change in just a second. It's good that you were able to learn from the experience, and even better that you were there for your father when he needed you.
Ms. Emily, thank you for your reply nd I wish you a happy life and hopefully you have learned something as I try others to know. We all have different stories and backgrounds and it can be easy to get frustrated and angry. I feel at times my father was "playing with me" when he slipped into dementia. I figured he was hiding from me something I thought he knew he was going through as a younger man. I'm very A to B. Get it done for him while my home is a mess. Then, you realize they don't always realize the fact they're losing it and slipping into what is very scary. I get it now and wish I realized it earlier. However, I was there for him for years as he was for my Mother. I didn't fully realize his pain until I had my own dealing with him. Make the time and try to appreciate an older person's perspective with dealing with the their mortality and your own. I don't mean to be depressing but it hits you in the head eventually. May all your dreams and happiness work for you. Life is not easy.
my heart goes out to you in your loss! Your father was patient with you, be patient and forgiving of your self as well. the most terrible illness is the loss of memory and self and witnessing it is extremely painful. Both my father, and my father in law had alzheimer disease. You would have and did, do everything you could do to help...you are human..you are someone whom I do not know, yet I feel that I would know you if we passed the street...you are not alone...
i am completely devoid of emotions... but when i watched this video, i actually felt something... it was incredible, and i hope that i can find more videos to cry to... because life is meaningless if you cant feel anything... crying is powerful, it feels... good to me. idk if anyone else knows what its like to just exist in this world, totally numb and unfeeling, but what i do know, is that today i finally felt something, and it was amazing.
Allah "God" says in Quran ((And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.(23) And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." (24) )) Al-sra - Verse 23-24
we have been created to love each other and you can see the kid (only 2 years old) starts to cry when he sees his mother acts as being beating up by someone. But while living in this life for a long time, our hearts are being effected badly with all of this worldly life to extend that sometimes we see some people who would insult their mothers and fathers, or beat them up. now God is ordering and reminding all of us to be good to our parents. if you are arrogant and start saying something like "I don't need book to tell me to love my parents." then why don't you say the same thing to this video. or to all of the kids stories that teach the manners of loving the parents. Do you see now ? your logic is messed up.
Smile He didnt tell him to shut up because he didnt have a good comeback, but because the amount of bullshit in the comment. The truth cannot prevail because it is not the truth. :))))
Chris Kolodynski u know, think about how ur life is, how ur here, why ur here, before judging a holy book, read it, understand it, think for ur self, dont allow the media to corrupt u, god gave u a brain , use it wisely.
people out there who are reading this.... I loved my dad very much... he was my best friend... my superman...incredible hulk. Feb 5,2010 was the worst day of my life because my best friend died in my arms... watching his life leave his body was the absolute worse thing... So anyone who is reading this... make things right with your family because once they close their eyes and the Dr says those words..."lets call it. time of death"... you don't want...would've, should've, could've....I did everything I could for my dad. but my brothers have to live with that guilt... rest in peace EDMONDO ARCHULETA....( 1943-2010) I'll always miss and love my dad...I would give anything to have him back.. and to be healthy...like I said make things right.... family will get mad but you don't want to be like my brothers...
You realize your pain and love for your father. You haven't asked me what I think and please forgive me but I need to say with regard to you and your siblings YOU were the strongest one! You stepped up and did what you knew you had to do. Dear Steve, find love within yourself for your father for that Son. I'm just a stranger as another man talking to you. Read my post above if you wish.
OSTARAEB4 I'm the middle... there are only 3 of us... no sisters.... it's hard to find peace... it really is... every time I close my eyes. I can see him dying... do you know how hard that is??? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... I cry every every yr... my dad was everything to our family... once he died. Our family fell apart... we don't talk to eachother... it sux but it is what it is....😎
That's exactly what happen with my family too. My brother who we were so close growing up never contacts me, I've tried many times, my sister I don't know where she is. It like I have no more family.
rip dad..i miss u so much, i am so sorry i yelled at u when u asked me something, i really miss you..i hope u can come to my dream n talk to me just for a little while..i love u dad!
My grandmother has dementia. She is the sweetest grandmother anyone could ever ask for, always has been, I remember when I was 2 or 3, the things she would teach me, the stories she would tell me about the world. As I got older she would tell me more complicated things like about WW2, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl... Now she asks the same questions over and over... I just keep answering as though it was the first time she asked.
Thank you for uploading & sharing this. I'm guilty of this & now I am the one that sometimes goes through this type of misunderstanding/misinterpretation. You see, my mother was hard of hearing ever since a child & I recall when I was a bit younger, I would get frustrated at her for having to repeat myself to her over & over again. Well, after living through war for 16 months & being blown up several times, I am the one that is hard of hearing now & tend to frustrate people when I ask to reassure myself of what I thought I heard. Definitely a hard lesson learned. But it instill a lot of patience and compassion in me because of these experiences. Definitely a humbling experience. Man, I cant stop crying but it's a good thing to release these emotions from time to time.
I was very touched with this video... I just lost my dad six months ago and listening to this video, it reminded me how supportive he was in everything I did, good or bad... this video touched home.. Thank you for sharing this with the word and me.
Thanku!!! even tho i hav seen this before, it was timely that i stumbled on it again - my mum has parkinsons and dementia - i am her full time carer. Too many times i forget, i need to be patient and understanding.. this is my daily prayer... Thanku again :0)
thanks for uploading and sharing this video. i felt to cry as loud as i could when i watched this, i love my dad bt some times me too behave like this due to misunderstanding, bt i wanna say i love him madlly more than my life. for the first time in my life i want to say this to the world " MY DAD IS GREAT, IM PROUD OF U MY DADDY.PROUD TO BE YOUR LOVING LITTLE DAUGHTER"
i wil make mistakes and will hurt u without thinking...........bt i wanna say one thing i m still ur little girl.i know u love me a lot although u never turn the feelings in to words. bt i feel ur love so please wait and c , till ur little girl brings u happiness with her victory.love u dad
its inspirational, we often forget how our parents spoke to us as kids answering each question over and over and now we dont treat our children or parents with the same respect and love. this video should be a lesson to us all. have endearment for your parents as they get old. when we were small we were learning new words, as parents being old, they forget those words and needs to be reminded. treat your parents with dignity they deserve, after all they did everything for you so you could have a great life.
Both of my sons are gone and i could only wish that i had the opportunity to see my 2 little babies grow and grow. Now they're my 2 little angels in heaven watching daddy grow old until i get to meet them once again. While you wait in peace my little angels, daddy will find you again. Forever in my mind, and forever in my heart. Daddy loves you, Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed.
IIUzzymanII I can't imagine the loss of ones' children, but I'm sure they are waiting patiently for you with open arms. Live in happiness for their sake, and when you see them again, you will have eternity to tell them all your amazing stories about your life. And when you get there, tell them to hug you for me. :)
IIUzzymanII, I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a family member. I had a friend who lost her brother when he was seventeen years old and knew another family who lost a son the same age exactly one year later to the month. The first one died in a car accident when his car lost control. The other one died of cancer. My adoptive mother passed away on November 3, 2000. :( :'(
May the Lord keep Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed close to him for eternity, and may he give you the strength to live until you're called. God bless you.
Of course this video emphasizes the fact that we should be patient with our aging and elderly parents. But, what about our brothers or sisters or friend or neighbors. Will we one day regret that harsh word spoken or angry ending to a relationship? We should all look at what consequences our words carry. Kind words that are spoken are remembered, even by a stranger.
You are so RITE the next thing you know you say something to a family member or friend and thats that and i did BUT i was joking around and she took it the wrong way and she lased out and i was like WHAT and we didnt talk for awile
Yes, I've seen it on Greek TV! It is touching and a valuable lesson for us all to respect our parents, feel for them and their needs. Happy Valentine's day from Athens, Greece.
This is so beautiful, I saw my dad for nearly a week now, after about 4 months of absence, I also sat next to him, and watched him sitting there so fragile, his right arm shaking uncontrollable from the Parkinson's decease, his jaw shivering, and I was so sad, tears rolling down my cheek, thinking of the once strong man he was, feeling sad at all the times that I was impatient and just nasty to him, yet yesterday when he hugged me, I only felt his unconditional love, and nothing else......love your parents guys... we never know if that hug was the last one....I will never stop loving my mom now nearly 8 years gone....I love you dad!
i am 12 years old, im using my mothers acoount to tell you how i feel about your ignorant statement, as i said i am 12 years old, my mom and dad are divorced, my sister doesnt care about how i feel about things, i have an xbox and a tv, and im exetremely grateful for what i have. my slutty aunt has had 2 kids, lives with my grandma, doesnt have a job, and neglects her kids, and your saying kids are ungrateful? sure, kids are naive, and dont understand a lot of things, but ive taken my own childhood time to learn the cultural arts of our race, and learned science people your age dont undertsand. ive learned how read faster than my language arts teacher, i know about our species's history than my history teacher, i am more mature than most adults, and more caring, ive risen up against the insults adults give to me and people my age, so think about what you say before you say it, asshole.
not all kids are un-appreciative, a LOT of kids are, im a kid, and everyday i see other students complain about their parents not buying new phones after they break it, ive never had a phone. i dont want one, for amusement, i watch how kids act at my school, always wanting to get things first, thinking they're popular, when most of these kids are dim-witted and inconsiderate, i have only had one true friend in my 12 years of life, and he was seperated from me, now i just have to survive in the hordes of idiots i call school.
Audra Halloran I was speaking of the sort you mentioned, with the cell phones and such. They often think that their parents owe them this and that. They don't. Those sorts of kids are the ones who don't appreciate their parents until they cast in to the real world. Just to let you know, I am 54 years old and have lived through this stuff. My comment is based on that perception, as in been there done that. So this opinion of myself being mature actually is based in fact. You assumed I was a kid, a major flaw in your argument. I also have a university education, so when have you educated yourself to my level? I don't 'act' like I am mature and educated, I am mature and educated. Your attitude shows exactly what I was talking about. Rude, disrespectful, assuming absurd opinions, angst, and just plain well, childish. Grow up, Audra, you don't know a damn thing about me. For the record, I don't type anything that I haven't had facts to back it up. See, I actually have experienced things, raised 2 kids, and I now have a grandson. I read a lot, and am always curious. Clearly you don't think I measure up to your level of expertise so I will end my response to this.
Oh rlly i dont appreciate anything and im 10 so ur saying i dont appreciate the love of my parents also i do appreciate it becuz my grandmother died :( i even cried writing this comment
I cant stop the tears. Thank you for making up stop and think sometimes of the realities of aging. If I am lucky enough to reach old age, I hope my daughter will never loose her patience with me as I have never lost patience with her. This is a powerful video.. Thank you.
Both my mom, and my mom in law have dementia. Both ask and tell the same things again and again. Occasionally, both will say, "I've asked you this before, haven't I?" I tell them they have, and they say, "Well I won't ask again." I always smile at them and say, "Yes, you will ask again, but when you do, I will answer just the same as if you asked me for the first time." It always makes them smile, which is the goal I am aiming for. I love them, and I know they can't help what they do. It takes lots of patience and deep breaths, and understanding that they can't help what they are going through.
Been their caring for my parent with ALZ for 8 yrs. Not easy until you know and understand the disease. Beautiful and sad. Which taught me to care from my heart not just face value which is prevalent in society today.
yes, this is what we forget to oft...saying 'thank you mon, thank you dad' and beeing there, unconditional - like they were, when we were young. Thank you for this video
i had the chance and didn't do it enough. i told him i loved him but it was kind of done by habit. what i wouldn't give for a chance to hug him and tell him i love him and really mean it.
so often we take those we love whom love us in return for granted. we forget that tomorrow they could be gone. I was sitting with little girl who is 8 while watching this and made me realize that I need to cherish this time. thank you for sharing :) :)
Great short film but It made me laugh because I knew It would be something to that effect. our parents raise and protect us from birth to adulthood and then It's our turn to return the favor when they get older, forgetful and helpless. Always be kind to your loved ones!!!!!
when my twenty years old son gets short with me my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I now understand how my dad must have felt when I was that age. it is ironical that despite ample human understanding about this feeling when you actually experience it you can't reverse it since that adorable person that you once hurt is no more.
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Altzheimers in his last few years... you know what I did when he kept asking the same question of me over and over? I answered him as if he had only asked me the first time... 3, 5, 10 times the same question... and you know what? I answered him as if he had asked me only one time... he was a ww2 veteran who landed on Utah Beach on D-day... he was a hero who actually made it back from wwII after chasing the Nazis through france, liberating concentration camps, and was on the verge of being deployed to the pacific theater when the bomb was dropped. yeh, if he asked me the same question a thousand times, i'll answer him every time as if he's asked me it once.
This video quickly reduced me to tears. My mom was a strict parent and it seemed as though she fussed from sun up to sun down. But she always told us that one day she wouldn't be around anymore and we would understand the lessons that she taught us. As she got up in age and her health failed, my siblings and I took turns taking care of her until Dad retired to be home with her. After several strokes, she had lost the use of both hands. I can't explain the patience and joy that I felt as I sat next to her and slowly fed her each meal. It wasn't a chore, but an act of love to be treasured. Just being in her presence made my insides smile. And when God knew that she had had enough, he called her home to be with him on Valentine's Day of 2006. To those who still have living parents, take time now to love and honor them with your whole heart so that when they leave this world, you will have loving memories to hold near and dear to your heart. God bless you all!!!!!
+Samantha Minecraft What is wrong with you? Racist... You just offended every single german and Hitler wasnt even a german. He was an austrian. And the austrians arent at fault either. So just go away please.
we never understand how much something is worth until we are losing it... please take a moment to look at your life, all of you reading, and be grateful for what you have, and try to appreciate it for the short time it will last.
Only after I read the comments of others and understood their perspective I am reallyappreciating my parents. Thank you everyone, you have really changed how I act.
Very inspirational! The story is heartbreaking. I almost cried while watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing this it relayed such a great message.
well I'm 61 now and it's true. we grow from infancy to adulthood and as we get old we start going back to infancy in our mind. our own children just don't understand that. I see it everyday in my parents and I try to do but no longer can as I'm handicapped now. the young generation should show more respect and appreciate what they have while they still have it
My tears are racing down from my eyes.. Everytime I watch this kind of video about father I always cry. Its just because maybe I misses my dad who died when I was a lil kid..
I hate it when parents try to pretend to be dumb and just WAIT till their kids get pissed and once that happens they start telling them about the stories when they were young. They literally take advantage of their kids young age and try to get love out of them. Love must come from the person itself. Not the parent forcing him to love. You can clearly tell that guy was just acting. He heard him say it was a sparrow from the beginning. He was just waiting for him to get mad and flip out.
this is just a clip that wants to prove a point. i have a 4 yr old son whom i swear is built to destroy nerves, he has that from me as i seem to realise...my only wish that in my old age he will have a little patience with me because with each passing day and each joy or bad time that goes by i am starting to understand my parents better...i wish i did it earlier...my parents deserved a better son.
Robert Voicu I believe you have a framing problem. You are not yet aware of the fleetingness of your son's innocence and the beauty within. Sadly, it will be gone by the time you notice due in no small part to your destruction of it. Try framing it in the sense of him being honestly and earnestly rambunctious. Love him for his exhuberance, for his love of life, for his indefatigable vitality. Realize that he won't always be the same little boy vying for your attention and be aware that one day you'll want from him what you refuse to give him. You may also be encouraging bad behavior, if it is indeed bad behavior, by giving him attention only when he misbehaves. Being ignored is the worst thing for any human to experience.
A salutary lesson for anyone with ageing parents. Repay them with the same love and patience they lavished on you when they need it most, when they become the child and you become the parent.
OK I'm in tears I don't know about you but this hit home. We are all human but nowadays we don't take the time to really listen to what is said to us, to take the time and have that special moment with our loved one and most of all the senior citizens and little children. our older generation has a wealth of knowledge to give to us and in turn teach our little ones.
I lost my mom two years ago. I was very close to her. I have my dad, and he's 78 and in pretty good health. I visit him daily, and I kiss him hello and goodbye. I just sit with him and we talk, sometimes for hours. At times, he tells me a story I have heard before, but when he asks, "Have I told you this story before?", I simply answer: "I don't think so". I don't mind hearing the stories a few times. There's so much I didn't ask my mother, that I am not making the same mistake twice. Thank you for posting this.
I didn't have parents growing up and now it turns out I can't have children. Nor do I have enough money. Can't get a job as I'm paralysed from the neck down. My dad told me this when he watched this video in 2010. I'm now 6 turning 7 in December. I love my dad.
um? wut? so u didn't have parents growing up..but u can't have kids...nor money and cant get a job and paralysed but then ur dad somehow told u about this video and ur 6? ???O.o
damn,i did that. not that bad as the son do to his father, but i did it to my mom. sometime she's asking the same thing 5 times only in a short time... and i get tired to answer :( i don't remember what she's done to me while i did the same to her looong long time ago, but i am sure she didn't answer me the way I did to her. there's no chance to do it to my father, he's passed away, but I'll be good to my mom. thank you for this video.
I watched many touching videos today but this one made me cry so much. I don't why it touched my heart so much but tears rolling down my cheeks now. Be patient with kids, older people, everyone in this life because is too short to be angry all the time.
My dad and i had a somewhat rough relationship and can relate to the video to a point. Especially after my dad had his third and biggest stroke in March 2005. Right now, i would give nearly anything if i just had 5 to ten minutes with him again. He died in front of me three years ago yesterday and nothing has been the same. They might not be the perfect parent, if there is such a thing, but don't take them for granted. i can't describe how much pain i have been in and yes, i have cried a huge rushing river.
+Orange Thurony My mom is more a right wing conservative than i am. however i have seen and been around more things than she has. Just don't want any regrets if she should die before i do. however she is in better health than me or my two brothers i am battling with four incurable medical conditions and reality
This video shows how we should respect our fathers and mothers in the future. It shows the way we are supposed to do it and the way that anger makes us do it when we are put on a simple challenge I have learned what to do from this video and hope it has showed others as well.
before my mother died we argued and weren't speaking to each other, and a month before that she out of nowhere told the entire family she was more proud of me than any of her children! and when she passed I never got to say I'm sorry or goodbye! if only she knew how she was the greatest lady I ever knew! and I was much more proud of her than she could of ever been proud of me!!! NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR MOM WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU! even if your mad at each other cause it might be the last time you see her........
Wow, well that was so simple, yet it made me cry more than a single tear I expected, just because I noticed that I don't appreciate so much having my parents, and how sometimes they treat me.
Tears will surely fall to this video I myself felt mixed emotions. One for the father, felt sad and pity by the treatrment to that simple repeated asking to his son busy reading the news paper..Second, i was touched to the re-action of the son to his father after reading the book. Hugged and kissed him. I as also touched that despite what he did, smile is yet visible on his face.. .iHope many children whose parents are now at this stage of life realize and understand how it is to be a father to their fast becoming a son. I mean on his second childhood.
I think i achieved what i want from this video.Our parents really deserve love,respect and care from us.I really appreciate what you said after watching this video.God bless you all.
it totally depends. My mother was not patient at all, she was violent and s abusive. Why should I respect her but I loved the video and had tears in my eyes watching it...
Tarangita Shantam Understandable but you could be that patient and understanding for someone else
Tarangita Shantam Know for sure that your mother had shown you patience that you will never be able to meet in your life: she carried you for months (with all the suffering it comes with) and she is most probably the one who took care of you while you were helpless baby.
Can you not say "God" bless you all because not all of us believe that
Thank you.
Lost my Dad 31 years ago aged just 42, 6 months after his father died, and now I'm ten years older than he was when he passed, oh how I would love to sit on a bench in the park with my Dad now, who would only just have turned 74 and give him a hug whilst my 2 Grandsons played ball . R.I.P Dad n Grandad .
tc030564 I'm confused
How Pokémon my Dad was 42 when he past his Dad my Grandad was 75 6 months before, I'm now 52 my Dad would now be 74 if he was still alive and I am a granddad myself to 4 boys . hope this helps .
Both of my parents died 2 yrs ago now…they are sitting with us when they leave 🙏 I hope this message finds you, sending peace love light to you 💯🙏
A lot of us as our parents get old, seem to forget the love they showed us when we were young. They sacrificed for us and never complained, yet when they repeat over and over the same question sometimes,either from hearing loss, dementia,we lose our temper,then we catch ourselves....The video is so true, always LOVE, Respect and Care for your parents. I See so many people dump their parents in nursing homes cause they are in the way. Sure the ones that are sick is different. But if u can care for ur parent till the end, then do it..They did for u all their life and never complained.
damn right. 100% agree
I agree with you the other day I was having a cigarette and I notice this lady was walking with a about three or four grocery bags in her hands and her son in his mid twenties was walking ahead of her he was not helping her he was walking so fast and he was telling her to hurry up hurry up you are walking too slow mom hurry up I went over and I ask the lady if she needed any help she refused but still I should have punched her son in the head that was disgusting and his poor mother was walking so slow because the bags were heavy and her stupid lazy son could not give a shit
+33kingofkings Good, u had guts a lot don't. Don't think I would have gone to the mother, she was more than likely embarrassed. I would have gone to the son, and told him to take his moms bags, and walk with her as slow as she might have been. He sounds like a moron and selfish, and If I saw that on the street, I''d be the first to say something. Like the other night, this has nothing to do with this story, but thought I would share. I saw a man, middle age I guess, walking his dog. Looks as if the man was very mad at the dog, for not doing his business as fast as the man might have wanted. Or something else?Then I saw the man take the leash and whip the dog like he was a piece of shit. Started to kick the dog and listening to the dog cry.I went over an yelled at the man, he told me where to go. I did not go away, the little doggie was shaking. I called the cops, they came right down. I told the story, got it on my cell phone anyway. Not sure what happened, but they did take the man away, and someone from his family came over and took the dog in horror.Jist of this story and yours is, we can't just walk away, close our eyes, or look the other way, as most Americans do. We are a nation, unlike all of Europe and the rest of the world. Our nation seems not to want to get involved. Sure we stop for the car accidents and injured. That is human nature. As is the dog story. People love dogs. But, domestic issues outside ones home or homeless people in trouble, people walk right by. Americans don't even say hello, instead the "HEAD" drops fast.. We have all seen this. Go to Europe or Australian and see strangers saying "Good Day" or Hello to strangers. It's really nice to see. What are we a shy country, that could care less about common courtesy?I have been in Europe when people have had enough, and instead of hiding in their living rooms with the shades drawn, doors locked, and TV blaring, people take to the streets in thousands and protest. A shame we as Americans don't do the same?? Thanks all for listening. I am sure I will get a lot of HATE mail, but its ok, we all have our opinions.
John Luciano I don't have anything against the Americans or Canada but you are right about one thing in Europe if you don't like something they start burning their own streets it may be a tad overboard but they do protest in the thousands they go absolutely fucking nuts if something is not going right it's true that's what American Canada should start doing spill to the fuckin streets and start protesting in the thousands and thousands but they don't do that I don't know why
that is right us we Filipino we have strong family tie ups and we never ever let our parent suffer when they are old...but their gone at an early age it is difficult to leave without them it is because your sibling doesn't understand every part of you...sad but that's life
I needed to see this. My Dad is 78 and has been forgetting everything and we have to repeat over and over and we get frustrated. This was a great wake up call, thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏻
Spend as much quality time with him as you can, 'cause you don't know how long you'll get to do that. Both of my parents are now gone and I miss them both.
It s not easy keep on trying your best
👍
I went through the same thing get frustrated with my dad not hearing what I was saying or what my kids were saying too. I even yelled at him to how stubborn he was. Through all that yelling I did, he still was the most loving and caring person I've ever met in my life. He passed 2 years ago, deaf and stubborn as he was I miss him so much and have to live with myself on how I got mad at him just for being old. You don't know what you have till that person is gone.
My hurt results from the fact that as my parents became older, I would become bored listening to them discuss things in their lives. I would want to get the discussion over with, rush out, and be on my way to things I wanted to do. But then each one of my parents died unexpectedly, a few years apart. Now I wish I could spend hours with them, listening to how their day went. With their passing, my wholeness as a person, ceased to exist. Pieces of me went with them. There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear them speak to me again ! My advice to all of you whose parent (s) are still around, give them your time. Once they're gone, the hurt is forever present. I love and miss you mom and dad. I'm sorry for not giving you more of my time.
I shall take your advice
ValentineDayTwin i shall do it. thanks for the advice, and stay strong :)
DOTN TAKE THE ADVICE DESREOY YOUR PARETNS LIFE BY RUNNING AWAYB
ValentineDayTwin Hey there, I'm so sorry for your loss and I must say, I also missed so much precious time with my Dad, especially in the very years- or months - before I lost him. But then, he did come back from his deathbed once when we already thought he was gone, and I was so in shock and terrified that in the end I may have just failed him at that time because I could barely talk... anyways, the important memories, those that are supposed to last, are not those "famous last words" we see in movies (in my case: seeya tomorrow then) but the ones we have kept in our memories from those very special moments, the ones we won't forget and the only ones that count.
I know what you're saying though, there's this piece of my soul missing that can never be replaced
Crystella312 IlikePotatoes yeah i lost my mom at 7 haf now im 11 half i miss her here and there but my picture of her in my mind are blurry so i have to watch videos of her sometimes to remember what it was like to have a mom i still get question why don't i ever see your mom or wheres your mom or tell your mom to sign this or give this to your mom im like dad
This brought me to tears. I lost my elderly father late last year and at times I would get very short with him. I was his caretaker for years and it took a toll on me. I started to eat and drink to levels. When he said he was "doing the best he can", I pulled back and learned patience. He taught me a lesson as his son. I'm grateful that I was with him with the moment he passed. Boys tend to be close to their mothers. I held my composure when she passed and he was inconsolable and became worse when I told him I loved him and tried to do the best I could to comfort him. I grieve more with his passing because he was the last parent. Pull back and smile even though you get angry and feel hostage to an elderly parent. The man had pride and wouldn't let me clean him until close to the end. You get use to the Assisted Living Management calls at all hours. My father taught me a lesson with his decline and I hope I don't live until my mid-nineties. He never complained despite mine. We all have a sparrow story as we're all marching in this direction. That's all I wanted to express. This son is probably forty or so. I'm much older. Be grateful for the time you have with them as your mind will haunt you and you will explode in tears and cannot stop. It comes in a second.
Nicely said man. As you said, life can completely change in just a second. It's good that you were able to learn from the experience, and even better that you were there for your father when he needed you.
Thank you for your nice comment.
i like ur comment
Ms. Emily, thank you for your reply nd I wish you a happy life and hopefully you have learned something as I try others to know. We all have different stories and backgrounds and it can be easy to get frustrated and angry. I feel at times my father was "playing with me" when he slipped into dementia. I figured he was hiding from me something I thought he knew he was going through as a younger man. I'm very A to B. Get it done for him while my home is a mess. Then, you realize they don't always realize the fact they're losing it and slipping into what is very scary. I get it now and wish I realized it earlier. However, I was there for him for years as he was for my Mother. I didn't fully realize his pain until I had my own dealing with him. Make the time and try to appreciate an older person's perspective with dealing with the their mortality and your own. I don't mean to be depressing but it hits you in the head eventually. May all your dreams and happiness work for you. Life is not easy.
my heart goes out to you in your loss! Your father was patient with you, be patient and forgiving of your self as well. the most terrible illness is the loss of memory and self and witnessing it is extremely painful. Both my father, and my father in law had alzheimer disease.
You would have and did, do everything you could do to help...you are human..you are someone whom I do not know, yet I feel that I would know you if we passed the street...you are not alone...
i am completely devoid of emotions... but when i watched this video, i actually felt something... it was incredible, and i hope that i can find more videos to cry to... because life is meaningless if you cant feel anything... crying is powerful, it feels... good to me.
idk if anyone else knows what its like to just exist in this world, totally numb and unfeeling, but what i do know, is that today i finally felt something, and it was amazing.
+anthony vadala You like crying? Ok then...
giannis skoun
when you are completely, and involuntarily numb, you will understand...
until then, your ignorance will continue to deceive you.
anthony vadala
But of course, how could I not think of that?
giannis skoun
im in my living room you idiot, and your just an annoying troll... get blocked bitch.
I completely understand.
my three boys are grown men now, but in my eyes they will always be my little boys who looked out into the world with wonder and amazement.
Allah "God" says in Quran ((And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.(23) And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." (24) )) Al-sra - Verse 23-24
Chris Kolodynski a bit rude, but i agree
we have been created to love each other and you can see the kid (only 2 years old) starts to cry when he sees his mother acts as being beating up by someone. But while living in this life for a long time, our hearts are being effected badly with all of this worldly life to extend that sometimes we see some people who would insult their mothers and fathers, or beat them up. now God is ordering and reminding all of us to be good to our parents. if you are arrogant and start saying something like "I don't need book to tell me to love my parents." then why don't you say the same thing to this video. or to all of the kids stories that teach the manners of loving the parents. Do you see now ? your logic is messed up.
Smile He didnt tell him to shut up because he didnt have a good comeback, but because the amount of bullshit in the comment. The truth cannot prevail because it is not the truth. :))))
Chris Kolodynski u know, think about how ur life is, how ur here, why ur here, before judging a holy book, read it, understand it, think for ur self, dont allow the media to corrupt u, god gave u a brain , use it wisely.
hazz kh It seems the one that is corrupted is you. You are the one believing in bullshit, not using your brain.
Old man set him up. He knew goddamn well it was a sparrow. He's been planning this for a long time. tee hee
If we all had the father's temperament, the world would be a much better place to live in.
BORING
Racer X
MsEnchntress Did you find it exciting ?
Yea, I cried so much because my father is the complete opposite of that boy's father but I have promised that I will always look after him

people out there who are reading this.... I loved my dad very much... he was my best friend... my superman...incredible hulk. Feb 5,2010 was the worst day of my life because my best friend died in my arms... watching his life leave his body was the absolute worse thing... So anyone who is reading this... make things right with your family because once they close their eyes and the Dr says those words..."lets call it. time of death"... you don't want...would've, should've, could've....I did everything I could for my dad. but my brothers have to live with that guilt... rest in peace EDMONDO ARCHULETA....( 1943-2010) I'll always miss and love my dad...I would give anything to have him back.. and to be healthy...like I said make things right.... family will get mad but you don't want to be like my brothers...
are you the last kid in the family?(the youngest one i mean)
You realize your pain and love for your father. You haven't asked me what I think and please forgive me but I need to say with regard to you and your siblings YOU were the strongest one! You stepped up and did what you knew you had to do. Dear Steve, find love within yourself for your father for that Son. I'm just a stranger as another man talking to you. Read my post above if you wish.
OSTARAEB4 I'm the middle... there are only 3 of us... no sisters.... it's hard to find peace... it really is... every time I close my eyes. I can see him dying... do you know how hard that is??? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... I cry every every yr... my dad was everything to our family... once he died. Our family fell apart... we don't talk to eachother... it sux but it is what it is....😎
That's exactly what happen with my family too. My brother who we were so close growing up never contacts me, I've tried many times, my sister I don't know where she is. It like I have no more family.
Hey Pale, sorry to hear that, how does that make you feel... Me personally it just teaches me that I need to pay attention more.
It's just so stupid.... We are so mean to our parents sometimes and it's uncontrollable.
I agree
rip dad..i miss u so much, i am so sorry i yelled at u when u asked me something, i really miss you..i hope u can come to my dream n talk to me just for a little while..i love u dad!
I missed kissing my Dad good bye before he died. Always respect your parents while they are around
sorry for your lost
+Grind Gear *loss
Thank you, very kind of you
thank you
I didn't get to say bye to my grandma before she died so you may not love your brother or your sister now but when there gone you'll miss them
Good job, Faisal, good job.
you are welcome.
God bless you
+Faisal Shah May He bless you as well
+Anthony vadala same here
Thats a greek advertising guys..
Not ad . It's a short film.
I pray for all the old people. Because eventually we are all gonna get old as well.
omg wow had me crying so bad i hug my kids right after god is so great.. god bless all that watches this video..
I love you dad until the end of time
My grandmother has dementia. She is the sweetest grandmother anyone could ever ask for, always has been, I remember when I was 2 or 3, the things she would teach me, the stories she would tell me about the world. As I got older she would tell me more complicated things like about WW2, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl... Now she asks the same questions over and over... I just keep answering as though it was the first time she asked.
Thank you for uploading & sharing this. I'm guilty of this & now I am the one that sometimes goes through this type of misunderstanding/misinterpretation. You see, my mother was hard of hearing ever since a child & I recall when I was a bit younger, I would get frustrated at her for having to repeat myself to her over & over again. Well, after living through war for 16 months & being blown up several times, I am the one that is hard of hearing now & tend to frustrate people when I ask to reassure myself of what I thought I heard. Definitely a hard lesson learned. But it instill a lot of patience and compassion in me because of these experiences. Definitely a humbling experience. Man, I cant stop crying but it's a good thing to release these emotions from time to time.
this make me realize how much i miss my dad... I wish he was alive with me.
Lexi Halley
felt the same
I was very touched with this video... I just lost my dad six months ago and listening to this video, it reminded me how supportive he was in everything I did, good or bad... this video touched home..
Thank you for sharing this with the word and me.
Thanku!!! even tho i hav seen this before, it was timely that i stumbled on it again - my mum has parkinsons and dementia - i am her full time carer. Too many times i forget, i need to be patient and understanding.. this is my daily prayer... Thanku again :0)
you were right, I was crying while uploading this too
uploading someone's video is a sin as per UA-cam community guidelines that's why you cried
Damn, I was gonna say that xD
I'm just gonna say, "DAAAYYYUUUMMM!!!!"
thanks for uploading and sharing this video. i felt to cry as loud as i could when i watched this, i love my dad bt some times me too behave like this due to misunderstanding, bt i wanna say i love him madlly more than my life. for the first time in my life i want to say this to the world " MY DAD IS GREAT, IM PROUD OF U MY DADDY.PROUD TO BE YOUR LOVING LITTLE DAUGHTER"
i want to shout and tell i love u "daddy"
i wil make mistakes and will hurt u without thinking...........bt i wanna say one thing i m still ur little girl.i know u love me a lot although u never turn the feelings in to words. bt i feel ur love so please wait and c , till ur little girl brings u happiness with her victory.love u dad
i can't understand what they said in this video. But by watching it i can understand the matter.
its in arabic
Ruvini s they are Greek and are speaking Greek.
The only thing sad is the video quality.
😂😂😂
+DeWiL your face is sad and it makes me wanna cry too
+MsLilacMLP no its how we do comebacks here in our country i didnt get that from the web but his face is still really sad though.
agreed
Are sad by knowing the son yelled at his dad who once taught him it's a sparrow?
its inspirational, we often forget how our parents spoke to us as kids answering each question over and over and now we dont treat our children or parents with the same respect and love. this video should be a lesson to us all. have endearment for your parents as they get old. when we were small we were learning new words, as parents being old, they forget those words and needs to be reminded. treat your parents with dignity they deserve, after all they did everything for you so you could have a great life.
Both of my sons are gone and i could only wish that i had the opportunity to see my 2 little babies grow and grow. Now they're my 2 little angels in heaven watching daddy grow old until i get to meet them once again. While you wait in peace my little angels, daddy will find you again. Forever in my mind, and forever in my heart. Daddy loves you, Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed.
Stay strong dude! Everything Will work out,
IIUzzymanII I can't imagine the loss of ones' children, but I'm sure they are waiting patiently for you with open arms. Live in happiness for their sake, and when you see them again, you will have eternity to tell them all your amazing stories about your life. And when you get there, tell them to hug you for me. :)
IIUzzymanII, I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a family member. I had a friend who lost her brother when he was seventeen years old and knew another family who lost a son the same age exactly one year later to the month. The first one died in a car accident when his car lost control. The other one died of cancer. My adoptive mother passed away on November 3, 2000. :( :'(
OH MY GOD... I COULDN'T READ THIS WITHOUT CRYING!!!! IM SO SORRY
May the Lord keep Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed close to him for eternity, and may he give you the strength to live until you're called. God bless you.
Of course this video emphasizes the fact that we should be patient with our aging and elderly parents. But, what about our brothers or sisters or friend or neighbors. Will we one day regret that harsh word spoken or angry ending to a relationship? We should all look at what consequences our words carry. Kind words that are spoken are remembered, even by a stranger.
You are so RITE the next thing you know you say something to a family member or friend and thats that and i did BUT i was joking around and she took it the wrong way and she lased out and i was like WHAT and we didnt talk for awile
This is in greek in case anyone's wondering :D
Thank you , i was.

Yes, I've seen it on Greek TV! It is touching and a valuable lesson for us all to respect our parents, feel for them and their needs. Happy Valentine's day from Athens, Greece.
Heart touching. This video is a reminder to take care of our parents and thank for the countless things they have done for us before it is too late.
This is so beautiful, I saw my dad for nearly a week now, after about 4 months of absence, I also sat next to him, and watched him sitting there so fragile, his right arm shaking uncontrollable from the Parkinson's decease, his jaw shivering, and I was so sad, tears rolling down my cheek, thinking of the once strong man he was, feeling sad at all the times that I was impatient and just nasty to him, yet yesterday when he hugged me, I only felt his unconditional love, and nothing else......love your parents guys... we never know if that hug was the last one....I will never stop loving my mom now nearly 8 years gone....I love you dad!
Glad you like it Ismeac...
Kids don't appreciate anything until they are grown up.
i am 12 years old, im using my mothers acoount to tell you how i feel about your ignorant statement, as i said i am 12 years old, my mom and dad are divorced, my sister doesnt care about how i feel about things, i have an xbox and a tv, and im exetremely grateful for what i have. my slutty aunt has had 2 kids, lives with my grandma, doesnt have a job, and neglects her kids, and your saying kids are ungrateful? sure, kids are naive, and dont understand a lot of things, but ive taken my own childhood time to learn the cultural arts of our race, and learned science people your age dont undertsand. ive learned how read faster than my language arts teacher, i know about our species's history than my history teacher, i am more mature than most adults, and more caring, ive risen up against the insults adults give to me and people my age, so think about what you say before you say it, asshole.
not all kids are un-appreciative, a LOT of kids are, im a kid, and everyday i see other students complain about their parents not buying new phones after they break it, ive never had a phone. i dont want one, for amusement, i watch how kids act at my school, always wanting to get things first, thinking they're popular, when most of these kids are dim-witted and inconsiderate, i have only had one true friend in my 12 years of life, and he was seperated from me, now i just have to survive in the hordes of idiots i call school.
Audra Halloran I was speaking of the sort you mentioned, with the cell phones and such. They often think that their parents owe them this and that. They don't. Those sorts of kids are the ones who don't appreciate their parents until they cast in to the real world.
Just to let you know, I am 54 years old and have lived through this stuff. My comment is based on that perception, as in been there done that. So this opinion of myself being mature actually is based in fact. You assumed I was a kid, a major flaw in your argument. I also have a university education, so when have you educated yourself to my level? I don't 'act' like I am mature and educated, I am mature and educated.
Your attitude shows exactly what I was talking about. Rude, disrespectful, assuming absurd opinions, angst, and just plain well, childish. Grow up, Audra, you don't know a damn thing about me. For the record, I don't type anything that I haven't had facts to back it up. See, I actually have experienced things, raised 2 kids, and I now have a grandson. I read a lot, and am always curious.
Clearly you don't think I measure up to your level of expertise so I will end my response to this.
Oh rlly i dont appreciate anything and im 10 so ur saying i dont appreciate the love of my parents also i do appreciate it becuz my grandmother died :( i even cried writing this comment
They're not the only ones.....stupid.
I cant stop the tears. Thank you for making up stop and think sometimes of the realities of aging.
If I am lucky enough to reach old age, I hope my daughter will never loose her patience with me as I have never lost patience with her. This is a powerful video.. Thank you.
Yes; it did make me cry. Thank you for putting this on UA-cam. It is a reminder for me to live in mercy rather than anxiety
It's Greek clip and it makes me cry every time! Thanks for posting it.
I cried too :(
Both my mom, and my mom in law have dementia. Both ask and tell the same things again and again. Occasionally, both will say, "I've asked you this before, haven't I?" I tell them they have, and they say, "Well I won't ask again." I always smile at them and say, "Yes, you will ask again, but when you do, I will answer just the same as if you asked me for the first time." It always makes them smile, which is the goal I am aiming for. I love them, and I know they can't help what they do. It takes lots of patience and deep breaths, and understanding that they can't help what they are going through.
Been their caring for my parent with ALZ for 8 yrs. Not easy until you know and understand the disease. Beautiful and sad. Which taught me to care from my heart not just face value which is prevalent in society today.
yes, this is what we forget to oft...saying 'thank you mon, thank you dad' and beeing there, unconditional - like they were, when we were young. Thank you for this video
Love conquers all, remember your father's and mothers and all the times they have answered questions like the father did with Love.Great job Faisal
Wish i could kiss and hug my dad but i never got the chance
I'm sorry for that
I'm I'm sorry to hear that
Same.
Yeah me to, I didn't hug my Dad until the hospital... how pathetic............................
i had the chance and didn't do it enough. i told him i loved him but it was kind of done by habit. what i wouldn't give for a chance to hug him and tell him i love him and really mean it.
so often we take those we love whom love us in return for granted. we forget that tomorrow they could be gone. I was sitting with little girl who is 8 while watching this and made me realize that I need to cherish this time. thank you for sharing :) :)
I stumbled upon this video thinking about my wife with terminal cancer. Thank you for this and giving me some perspective.
Great short film but It made me laugh because I knew It would be something to that effect. our parents raise and protect us from birth to adulthood and then It's our turn to return the favor when they get older, forgetful and helpless. Always be kind to your loved ones!!!!!
Im guessing when the son got his first car the father sat in the backseat and started kicking it.
when my twenty years old son gets short with me my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I now understand how my dad must have felt when I was that age. it is ironical that despite ample human understanding about this feeling when you actually experience it you can't reverse it since that adorable person that you once hurt is no more.
Makes me rethink about the times when I get impatient with my parent.....God bless all mothers and fathers.
I lost my dad at only 2 years old love your dad with all your heart everyday beachside your lucky to have one.
Sorry for your loss😕
Yeah sorry to hear that
I'm so sorry!
same happened i was 2 1/2 when my dad was shot
I never had one to begin with. xD
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Altzheimers in his last few years... you know what I did when he kept asking the same question of me over and over? I answered him as if he had only asked me the first time... 3, 5, 10 times the same question... and you know what? I answered him as if he had asked me only one time... he was a ww2 veteran who landed on Utah Beach on D-day... he was a hero who actually made it back from wwII after chasing the Nazis through france, liberating concentration camps, and was on the verge of being deployed to the pacific theater when the bomb was dropped. yeh, if he asked me the same question a thousand times, i'll answer him every time as if he's asked me it once.
This video quickly reduced me to tears. My mom was a strict parent and it seemed as though she fussed from sun up to sun down. But she always told us that one day she wouldn't be around anymore and we would understand the lessons that she taught us. As she got up in age and her health failed, my siblings and I took turns taking care of her until Dad retired to be home with her. After several strokes, she had lost the use of both hands. I can't explain the patience and joy that I felt as I sat next to her and slowly fed her each meal. It wasn't a chore, but an act of love to be treasured. Just being in her presence made my insides smile. And when God knew that she had had enough, he called her home to be with him on Valentine's Day of 2006. To those who still have living parents, take time now to love and honor them with your whole heart so that when they leave this world, you will have loving memories to hold near and dear to your heart. God bless you all!!!!!
I was moved to tears by this. I thought of each of my 5 children. This is very nice.

You account name!
The fuck is wrong with you?
+Damian Cinkowski he might be in Germany can't blame him if he's german
you guys are dicks. this is the name my parents gave to me
+Samantha Minecraft What is wrong with you? Racist... You just offended every single german and Hitler wasnt even a german. He was an austrian. And the austrians arent at fault either. So just go away please.
+Samantha Minecraft Hitler was Austrian
we never understand how much something is worth until we are losing it... please take a moment to look at your life, all of you reading, and be grateful for what you have, and try to appreciate it for the short time it will last.
Alex Keil Well said Alex! Kudos!
thanks bro!
Only after I read the comments of others and understood their perspective I am reallyappreciating my parents. Thank you everyone, you have really changed how I act.
Very inspirational! The story is heartbreaking. I almost cried while watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing this it relayed such a great message.
Not sure if the intent was to create an Alzheimer moment, but it sure feels like one. Deepness here, with very few words. Very touching.
this story made me cry.
Yes I cried. We all have those moments in life when we wish we had done things differently. Loved the video!
well I'm 61 now and it's true. we grow from infancy to adulthood and as we get old we start going back to infancy in our mind. our own children just don't understand that. I see it everyday in my parents and I try to do but no longer can as I'm handicapped now. the young generation should show more respect and appreciate what they have while they still have it
I love my dad he is the best dad I got and this video made me cry.
mee too ♥ :'(
i wish me and my dad were close..
+MIXERfun7 : You are. Sometimes you may not believe that but a father always loves his children. Do what you can to make that connection.
so touching and meaningful , when they get old the roles turns the parent become the kid and the son become the father :)
My tears are racing down from my eyes.. Everytime I watch this kind of video about father I always cry. Its just because maybe I misses my dad who died when I was a lil kid..
Last time I saw this was a few years ago and it just came on again; today is the 37th anniversary of my father's death. Good timing.
I hate it when parents try to pretend to be dumb and just WAIT till their kids get pissed and once that happens they start telling them about the stories when they were young. They literally take advantage of their kids young age and try to get love out of them. Love must come from the person itself. Not the parent forcing him to love. You can clearly tell that guy was just acting. He heard him say it was a sparrow from the beginning. He was just waiting for him to get mad and flip out.
this is just a clip that wants to prove a point. i have a 4 yr old son whom i swear is built to destroy nerves, he has that from me as i seem to realise...my only wish that in my old age he will have a little patience with me because with each passing day and each joy or bad time that goes by i am starting to understand my parents better...i wish i did it earlier...my parents deserved a better son.

I believe you have a framing problem. You are not yet aware of the fleetingness of your son's innocence and the beauty within. Sadly, it will be gone by the time you notice due in no small part to your destruction of it. Try framing it in the sense of him being honestly and earnestly rambunctious. Love him for his exhuberance, for his love of life, for his indefatigable vitality. Realize that he won't always be the same little boy vying for your attention and be aware that one day you'll want from him what you refuse to give him.
You may also be encouraging bad behavior, if it is indeed bad behavior, by giving him attention only when he misbehaves. Being ignored is the worst thing for any human to experience.
Carlos Camargo you are a very wise man and you display it well... Beautiful perspective!
A salutary lesson for anyone with ageing parents. Repay them with the same love and patience they lavished on you when they need it most, when they become the child and you become the parent.
He raised a great and caring son. Mission accomplished...Dad.
i wish i had a dad
***** me three
***** me four
Cinos Wrath
me five
I feel really really bad seeing all you struggling without a dad I wish I could help I know the struggle
Me eight
I am ringing my mum now. I promise not to get angry with her this time. It is not her fault and she was always good to me.
OK I'm in tears I don't know about you but this hit home. We are all human but nowadays we don't take the time to really listen to what is said to us, to take the time and have that special moment with our loved one and most of all the senior citizens and little children. our older generation has a wealth of knowledge to give to us and in turn teach our little ones.
I lost my mom two years ago. I was very close to her. I have my dad, and he's 78 and in pretty good health. I visit him daily, and I kiss him hello and goodbye. I just sit with him and we talk, sometimes for hours. At times, he tells me a story I have heard before, but when he asks, "Have I told you this story before?", I simply answer: "I don't think so". I don't mind hearing the stories a few times. There's so much I didn't ask my mother, that I am not making the same mistake twice.
Thank you for posting this.
Did not even put tear in my eye.
watch again, tears again
God was right when He commanded us to honor our parents. That was a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
i have watched this for years,,,and again,,it was so touching,,thank you for the video,,,
I didn't have parents growing up and now it turns out I can't have children. Nor do I have enough money. Can't get a job as I'm paralysed from the neck down. My dad told me this when he watched this video in 2010. I'm now 6 turning 7 in December. I love my dad.
uuuuhh....
um? wut? so u didn't have parents growing up..but u can't have kids...nor money and cant get a job and paralysed but then ur dad somehow told u about this video and ur 6? ???O.o
Proper troll man, proper troll
I killed a sparrow once, does that count?
Lexus Panther It does count. So proud of you. Wish you the best in all your endeavours.
Absolutely beautiful...
Beautiful testament to how patient we must be when a young or old one needs us to really listen.
My husband passed from this disease. Had it for over 5 years. It is painful for all, but I find it far more painful without him.
I Know 99,99% of people won't read this but
Hello
hiii
Hi there!
Guess I'm the 1%! Hi :)
We're .01% people. We're special :) yehey!!! hahahahahahuhuhu
Jeus Benitez Oh yeah! ;D
Thank you 4 sharing this video. So Eloquent in its Simplicity, yet Powerful in its Presentation. A Message 2 Live by, Always. 💜 God bless you. X💗
Msflamingo2008 I couldn't agree more! Well said! Kudos! :-)
Alexander R Thank you! 💜
Msflamingo2008 My pleasure :-)
The music in those kind of videos is what moves us to tears. Respect music
Touching...always respect your parents because they are the one who love you truly.
If you couldn't speak there language or read english this would have been a very strange film,
it's greek
Thats nice to know. Thanks i guess.
hahaha, true
damn,i did that.
not that bad as the son do to his father, but i did it to my mom. sometime she's asking the same thing 5 times only in a short time... and i get tired to answer :(
i don't remember what she's done to me while i did the same to her looong long time ago, but i am sure she didn't answer me the way I did to her.
there's no chance to do it to my father, he's passed away, but I'll be good to my mom. thank you for this video.
I watched many touching videos today but this one made me cry so much. I don't why it touched my heart so much but tears rolling down my cheeks now. Be patient with kids, older people, everyone in this life because is too short to be angry all the time.
My dad and i had a somewhat rough relationship and can relate to the video to a point. Especially after my dad had his third and biggest stroke in March 2005. Right now, i would give nearly anything if i just had 5 to ten minutes with him again. He died in front of me three years ago yesterday and nothing has been the same. They might not be the perfect parent, if there is such a thing, but don't take them for granted. i can't describe how much pain i have been in and yes, i have cried a huge rushing river.
Same... But it's with my mom 😢
+Orange Thurony To bad there are no manuals on how to be a perfect parent,child or family. Only works perfectly if on the tv or in a book
+Orange Thurony My mom is more a right wing conservative than i am. however i have seen and been around more things than she has. Just don't want any regrets if she should die before i do. however she is in better health than me or my two brothers i am battling with four incurable medical conditions and reality
i was surprised from the first minute. i didn't imagine it would be in greek. i love my language, you should love yours too.
Χρήστος Τσίκλης i do love your language. i've been to Greece and it was beautiful.
Χρήστος Τσίκλης "RELEASE THE KRAKEN"
We are just a Me with the first part turned up-side down to keep us from knowing the naked truth.
We are Me.
Love and caring are the most important thing in my life. So touching .and remember to honor your father and mother.
This video shows how we should respect our fathers and mothers in the future. It shows the way we are supposed to do it and the way that anger makes us do it when we are put on a simple challenge I have learned what to do from this video and hope it has showed others as well.
WHY THE HELL CAN'T I CRY IN THE MORNING!? Am I to grumpy in the morning???
lol
***** OH MY IRENE I LUV UR PROFILE PICTURE!!!!!!!
IKr
It wasn't not even a bit sad .. more like a cute ending lolz
before my mother died we argued and weren't speaking to each other, and a month before that she out of nowhere told the entire family she was more proud of me than any of her children! and when she passed I never got to say I'm sorry or goodbye! if only she knew how she was the greatest lady I ever knew! and I was much more proud of her than she could of ever been proud of me!!! NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR MOM WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU! even if your mad at each other cause it might be the last time you see her........
Wow, well that was so simple, yet it made me cry more than a single tear I expected, just because I noticed that I don't appreciate so much having my parents, and how sometimes they treat me.
You were right! I did cry.
3:00 is when he realizes what he douche he was.
you are so right, talk about "pulling on the heart strings" very powerful and meaningful :)
Tears will surely fall to this video I myself felt mixed emotions. One for the father, felt sad and pity by the treatrment to that simple repeated asking to his son busy reading the news paper..Second, i was touched to the re-action of the son to his father after reading the book. Hugged and kissed him. I as also touched that despite what he did, smile is yet visible on his face..
.iHope many children whose parents are now at this stage of life realize and understand how it is to be a father to their fast becoming a son. I mean on his second childhood.
