God, I never knew I’d be so emotional seeing a mom and daughter reuniting. I'm literally crying😭
I was crying too lol!
So sweet! I enjoyed this vlog.💓
Me too. This vlog was full of emotions and I'm writing it while I'm still crying 🥺❤️
Omg I’m crying too, this was so sweet and beautiful. It caught me by surprise tbh 🥺
Same🥺
i wasn't ready for this :)) i m watching it at 8 am eating and then i started crying omg lol
There's Michelle's mom and her grandma crying on cam, Michelle crying behind the cam, and then there's me crying on the other side of the screen. This vlog is something that you'd look back on and still get a wave of emotions while watching it
Literally me too
felt 🥹
I know... ... RIGGHT!?!
totally！
Count me on the other other side of the screen 🥹😭 I'm a little puffy after watching this vlog 😭
I began to cry when they reunited. Proves that it doesn’t matter how much time passes, we’re always someone’s child - needing their parent. ❤
You said it beautifully ❤
as a daughter myself, i get so weak and emotional when it comes to mother and daughter relationship. i'm glad Michelle's mom get to see her mom ❣️
I broke down when your mom hugged her mom and started to cry, oh man…that really got me ❤
I feel you 💌
Been a silent viewer, but this made me cry like a baby. My Mom is also an immigrant, and I visited last year after 11 years of not seeing my grandparents. The mix of emotions and the pain was palpable. You are a good daughter Michelle. I hope the trip was everything you and your Mom hoped for and more.
Seeing your mom and grandma embrace made me cry. My grandma is currently in hospice and my mom is heading to see her one last time tomorrow, the nurse said she won't survive to the end of the week. I can only imagine the pain my mom is going to feel saying goodbye. Doesn't matter how old you get, you're always your mother's daughter.
Sending love and prayers your way 💗🙏
There is no video in UA-cam history that I wish would never end like this one. I'm so glad you were able to do this for and with your mom and I appreciate you sharing it with us. This is so inspiring!
I cried so hard. This was so beautiful ❤️
omg daniela is here!
Hi Daniela 🤗
this is not a vlog, this is an art film, the way everything felt so simple and mundane yet there was a sense of tender reality to it :') honestly this makes her vlogs stand out from other vloggers!!
Agreed 👍 I literally feel I'm watching a film when I'm watching her vlogs👏👏👏👏👏
You're absolutely right - I feel an emotional connection to Michelle now 💛
Couldn’t agree more. She definitely knows how to capture a moment ❤
Hi Michelle, I’m a 25 years old living in Vietnam. After watching this video, i decided to take my mom to Singapore for the first time. She has been around at home to cook, clean, take care of others, ... but never go far from where we live. Thanks for your video and the emotional feelings of you and your mother, it was giving me inspiration and determination to make this trip with my mother. I still have a lot to prepare to make it happen in July. But I’m so happy to tell you this. Love you so much!
One minute in and I’m already crying. Your mom is so genuine and you can feel how much love your family has in them. I love that
when your mom and her mom(your grandmother) reunited seriously tears just started streaming down my face, it was so heartwarming
Hope she can visit her mother more❤️ .it should be so hard for them 🥺
As a immigrant who’s getting my papers seeing your mom cry because she finally gets to travel back home has me in tears .
She’s a inspiration to me
The pressure,time and stress you go through while getting your papers is something I wish people would never experience
I wish nothing but the best for your family
I’ve seen so many of my close friends go through this and it breaks my heart to know so many people have to go through this process 😢
You are a beautiful person. Nothing but happiness wished for you.
"Living life grateful for things you have and being okay with what you don't have. And just be healthy. Wouldn't everything work out then?" These words are priceless 🙏
The most beautiful and heartwarming video I've seen lately💕
미쉘 어머님이랑 미쉘 따라서 나도 눈물 펑펑 ㅜㅜ.. 이번 여행은 정말 뜻깊은 여행이 될 것같아요 좋은 시간만 보내길!
저두여ㅠㅠㅠ미쉘님 흐느끼는 소리까지 들려서 더 찡했음,,,ㅜㅜ
I was fighting back tears this entire video but your mom reuniting with her mom just set off a waterfall. It's unspeakable how precious these moments you've been able to capture are, and thank you so much for sharing them with us. Your mom looked so happy to be back in Korea, I can't imagine how much of a blessing it feels for both of you to be able to spend this time together. So much love for you and your family, thank you again for sharing this with us.
Kat you couldn't have said it better! seriously @MichelleChoi thank you so much for sharing such a special moment with us. It's experiencing moments like this that can get us through the lowest of lows in life.
@@rcuevas2728 your so right. I'm so glad to be able to see such this amazing moments of humanity. And all of it is just because of our lovely michelle ❤️
As a daughter of immigrant parents. It breaks my heart that my mom wasn’t able to see her mom before she passed away. So seeing your mom go back to Korea and see her mom. It’s truly a blessing. Honestly this is my favorite vlog. Thank you for sharing.
저희 이모네두 이민가계신데 오시기가 쉽지않아서 할머니할아버지가 마지막으로 가신게 벌써 5,6년전이시고 이모댁두 한국오시기가 쉽지않더라구요 ㅠㅠㅠ 너무 가슴 뭉클하네요
As the daughter of an immigrant too, so so many emotions watching this video. I am not a crier but as soon as your mom and grandma greeted each other, I almost had to look away, you could just feel the flood of immense love and pain. Whew. It's impossible to know the courage and strength and pain to leave one's country without living it yourself which can cause a disconnect sometimes between immigrants and their children, they sacrifice so much for, but this video reminded me to thank my mom (again) for raising me, be more patient/gentle with our differences, spoil her a bit more and make the efforts to travel back with her to her home when we can.
Cried when your mom said “When did I get this old?” Crazy how time flies, really. I wish the best for your mom, grandma and your whole family, Michelle. Beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing this to us ❤
I've been a silent viewer of yours for years and it's not easy for me to cry, but seeing the reunion with your grandma and how you and your mom took her for a walk with the wheelchair brought me to tears and struck something in me. Seeing clips like that reunion segment and trips like this one that you have with your mom reminds me how precious, yet fleeting life can feel. I'm a student, so I've been engrossed in school and thinking about my future for years now, but this video was a beautiful reminder that spending time with loved ones triumphs all else in importance. Thank you Michelle
Wow I love that you had this realization l. This video definitely got to me too ❤
Same here crying family is everything.
Life is curious and has it’s ways. Appreciate its lessons and give gratitude for blessings!
아 할머니가 어머님 꼭 안아주실 때 진짜 너무 슬퍼요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 10년만에 만났으니 서로 얼마나 그리웠겠어 뿌앵
Me and my mom are crying right now Michelle. I’m also an immigrant so I can definitely relate in so many aspects of this video. You have a pure heart. You will continue to be blessed.
I’m embarrassed to say how hard I cried at this 🥺 your mom seems so happy and her being able to see and walk with her mom she hasn’t seen in 10 years and capturing that on camera was simply magical ❤ I hope you guys make the most of every second you get to be their with your family and I’m wishing all three of you a healthy, happy (and healthy again lol) 2023 ❤
you creepy girl,,,im scared of you now,,,.... you are everywhere
This was so beautiful. Mama Choi is lucky to have a daughter like you 🥺🤍
freesiaaaa ❤️
I love youuu!!! xx
Hi michelle! Who’s with your grandma? Is she living alone?
she is lucky to have mom like her lol
저희 가족도 10년만에 미국생활 정리하고 몇년전에 한국에 들어왔는데 외할머니가 입국전에 돌아가셨어요.. 10년동안 울엄마도 엄마가 보고싶었을텐데 하염없이 우는게 너무 마음 아팠어요 ㅠ 이 영상을 보니까 엄마 생각나네
매번 자막으로 한국어로 보다가 말하시는 것도 한국어가 있으니 너무 행복했어요 !! 처음부터 끝까지 눈물샘이 마르질 않네요 ! 2023년에는 더 건강하시고 많은 행복을 이루시길 바랍니다 ! 어머님두 할머님두 너무 고우신 것 같아요 :) 3주간의 한국여행이 잊지 못할 추억으로 남길 바라며 새해 복 많이 받으세용 !!! ❤❤
This is one of the best Vlogs ever, your mom is so cute, it’s so wholesome and you portrayed all the emotions so perfectly wow💗
🥹🙏🏻
Agree.Michelle's mother is so lovely ❤️ I love when I see her in Michelle's vlog.
The moment your mom saw your grandma and called her Mommmm, that is the point where I could not hold back my tears anymore. Such a beautiful moment. Thank you so much Michelle for sharing this with us. Lots of love to your Grandma. May you and your family have a healthy 2023!
I’ve been an immigrant of 5 years living in the opposite side of the world, so far, far away from my home. I cannot begin to express how my chest felt when I saw your mother tear up the night before your trip, especially the moment she was reunited with her mother. Being an immigrant is very difficult and it is very emotionally draining. I cried along with your mother. I’m so happy you guys went on this trip and I’m a complete stranger! I cannot wait until I get to reunite with my country. So heartwarming ❤️
Every time your mom cried i literally shed tears too I'm to young to say this but Michelle you're a incredible daughter and BTW i really really love your vlogs 🌙
This made me cry so hard, could never imagine not seeing my mom for even 1 year but 10? My heart hurts
in 2019 my mom and i flew to the philippines. just like your mom, my mom’s entire family still lives in the philippines and she is the oldest of 6 siblings. they reunited after being apart for 24 years. i was hit with a wave of emotions and since then, i made a promise to my mom to continue these mommy+daughter trips back home every couple years ❤
Oh Michelle. Thank you so much for letting us see their reunion. So so special. 🫶🏽 I’m bawling rn.
엄마 눈물 흘리시는거 보고 우느라 아직두 뒤쪽 못보고 있어요ㅠㅠ
You're mom is so sweet. It hurts my heart seeing my mom wanting to go back to her homeland in Yemen. She can't go back due to the war and poverty there. I wonder how it's like to have a country that you can actually be proud of and can go back to in safety. 😞
I’m also Yemeni I wish I could visit 😔
I’m so sorry for you and your mom 😢 I hope you both can one day travel back there safely
@@khalilahd. aww thank you. I hope so too. 🥺🫶🤍
Like others, I too am a silent viewer. I love your videos. I’m also a New Yorker born and raised. I don’t think I’ve ever fully grasped the difficulties of being an immigrant in this country who doesn’t get to see their family often. 10 years?! Man that was a shock to my system. I have a new found respect. Even though we all “came” from somewhere, knowing my whole family lives just a few hours away at the most is a huge blessing. Thanks for sharing such an intimate experience 💗
항상 재밌게 뉴욕생활 보고있는데 이렇게 한국말 하는것도 보고 더더 신선한거 같아요! 항상 기분좋아지는 영상들 감사해요!! 이미 뉴욕가셨을수도 있지만 좋은 시간이였길 바래요!
My grandma turned 100 years old on the 23rd of December. Still as sharp as ever. So touching seeing your mum and grandma reunite.
This is what life really is
I lost it when your mom reunited with your grandma. As someone who is an immigrant, this really hit deep. Now I can’t stop crying at 2am 😭
Did anyone cried like it was their own mother and grandmother was getting reunion. I love my grandmother too and seeing this, I come in such different perspective of what's really important and what is that we are chasing and question myself if even that is worth of my time or not. I miss you grandma and mom.
어머님 한국에서 행복한 기억들 많이많이 만들어가셔서 미국에서 생각날때마다 꺼내보셨으면.. 행복하고 건강하세요 🧡
I'm admiring how beautiful her mother is!
I said the same thing 😊
The moment she reunited with her mom got me crying. Your mom is too cute and I’m happy she’s able to go back to Korea with you. ❤
어머님이랑 할머님 만남 장면이요.. 눈물이 너무 많이 나네요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
the way u can hear michelle sniffling and holding back tears behind the camera as her mom and grandma were reuniting :')
What a wonderful daughter you are. I can’t imagine how special this trip was to your mum❤
Missing my grandma is heaven terribly, wishing we will be reunited one day. It still makes me cry when I remember she’s no longer here with us anymore 🤍🤍
Girl I started crying while y’all were on the bus. As a immigrant in a foreign country who didn’t see her mom for 2 years at all my heart aches for your mother.
Wow, I practically cried throughout the entire video. There is something so powerful about seeing families express so much vulnerability and love to one another. This was such a beautiful and wholesome video, thanks for sharing ❤
Cried my eyes out watching your mom hug her mom and she hugging so tightly! Hope you both are having the best time!!
When Michelle's mom said, "it's your daughter" to the grandma and hurried to get to her so she wouldn't have to standup (on her own), the feelings I was trying so hard to hold in since the start of the video (when the mom was talking and I wad crying-laughing) come out and I started crying... update: I am still crying. Thank you Michelle, for always sharing such intimate and beautiful videos with us.
아 눈물 한바가지 났네..할머니 건강하세요ㅠㅠ다리 아프지 마세요
Wow that reunion between your mom and grandma was so raw and beautiful. Had me in tears ❤
ㅠㅠ 영상 시작부터 끝날 때까지 눈물 참으면서 봤어요.. 뭔가 그 어느 영상보다 미셸님의 뿌리가 한국에 있다는 걸 보여주는 영상같기도 해요. 왜 보는데 부모님, 할머니한테 더 잘해야겠다는 생각이 드는지 모르겠지만..! 미셸님의 가족, 그리고 모든 구독자분들의 가족들이 건강한 2023년을 보내셨음 좋겠습니당 오늘도 선한 영향력 마니마니 받고 가요 🤍🤍 진짜 진짜 언제나 마이 남바완.. 미셸 초이 ㅎㅎ💕
다시봐도 눈물이 나오네요, 할머니 건강하게 오래오래 사세요~!
어머니 너무 소녀같아요. 증말 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 미쉘님 미모가 어머니를 꼭 닮았네요.
I traveled internationally with my mom for the first time this year and it was truly one of the most special trips of my life. Getting to spoil and pamper her was a gift I want to keep on giving her after all she’s given me. This was so beautiful to watch and I’m so glad you were able to experience this together. ❤
you are such a great daughter and I'm sure that your mother proud of you 👏 👏👏👏. I really enjoy when someone becomes successful and then does something for parents. I proud of you as a great human too.❤️
My mom and I haven’t been to Hong Kong in over six years and it breaks my heart to not be able to see my grandma knowing that she is getting older and having lost several people last year- waiting for our version of your mom’s heartwarming moment again 🤍
Been a silent viewer but I found myself writing this comment and crying... You're a good human and a great daughter Michelle ,Bless you and your parents and, I've been feeling a little anxious preparing for my final exams, had moments of doubt asking myself will I ever be able to give back to my parents... Watched the vlog and I couldn't stop crying, the way you give back to your parents is inspiring...
Me crying alongside the entire vlog 😭😭 My parents are also Korean immigrants who haven’t been back to Korea since they had me (I’m 25 lol). This is something I hope I can do for them too 💗💗 so inspirationallllll
미쉘님 연세대 다닐때부터 구독해서 보던 동갑내기 한국인입니다:)
주변에서 최애 유튜버 하면 무조건 '미쉘초이다'라고 말할 정도로 오래도록 롤모델이자 팬이에요.
어떻게보면 그냥 일상인데영상들인데 왜 이렇게 재밌을까 왜 자꾸 찾아올까 많이 생각해봤었는데, 오늘 영상이 그걸 설명해주네요ㅜㅜ
알고리즘이나 이슈키워드가 아닌, 본인만의 스토리를 담아가는 모습이 항상 존경스럽고 부러우면서도 응원하게 되는 것 같아요.
한국말로는 댓글 처음 달아보는데, 같은 94년생으로서 먼 한국에서 (저도 뉴욕에 살았던지라) 또 뉴욕을 그리워하면서 매번 영상 올라오자마자 누구보다 빨리 클릭해서 보고 있습니다. 한국에서의 여행이 안전하고 행복하고 잊을 수 없는 추억이 되기를 바라요.
언제든 다시 올 수 있는 곳이니까, 언제또오지 걱정없이 어머니랑 가족이랑 누구랑이든 오셔요. 두팔벌려 한국에서 환영합니다
Omg your mom made me cry, so glad yall were able to go on a girls trip. These moments are what life is all about 🥰🥰
Oh man this hit hard, I have not seen my grandma for 6 yrs and it's so sad she's not near. Seeing this family reuniting one can't help tear up ❤
I burst into tears when your mom and your grandmother reunited. It reminded me of all the times my mom and grandmother have done the same, only to say goodbye at the end of every trip when we visit Argentina. It’s hard living without your entire extended family when they live in another country
I think this is my favourite vlog! Got emotional from when Mama Choi cried when she realised she will be travelling with her daughter, to her meeting with her Mom. So pure and beautiful ❤️
There are simply no words to describe that precious moment you captured when your mom reunited with her mother. I don't think anyone can watch a moment so beautiful and not feel something. It brought me to tears.
Literally cried the moment the mother daughter met like I was feeling emotional from the thought that they haven’t seen each other for 10 years ❤❤❤❤
I didn’t think I would cry so much, it made me so emotional how now we can get our parents to live and enjoy what they deserve to, after all the sacrifices they have made for us to raise us and to have a “better” live than them as they say. It made me so emotional how everything worked out for you and I’m so happy you could take her back ❤️ hope you have a wonderful time in Korea
That three generations reunion made my heart so warm! Thinking of my maternal grandma and my mama a lot more today because of you, Michelle!
Minutes after finishing the vlog and I’m still crying😭 I cannot wait for the day my parents get to see their parents again. It’s been over 20 years for them and it’s so sad to think about all they have gone through to give their families a better life. They deserve the world and so much more 🤍
10년만에 만나는 엄마라니 ㅠ 상상할 수가 없어요 ㅠㅠ 눈물이 또르르 흐르게 되는 감동적인 순간😂❤
It’s so nice of you taking your mom to a trip, to see her own mom makes me cry.
Crying from beginning to end...this was so special. Michelle, what a precious gift you gave to your mom that she'll never forget! Happy new year!
🥹어머님이 앞으로는 이런 시간들을 더 많이 가지셨으면 좋겠네요 ☺️
OMG i cried the entire video, so glad your mom went back to visit her family
As a Korean American with immigrant parents, this really hit home. This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing part of your story and your mom’s story
Wow I’ve never cried like this ❤ being an immigrant myself this hit home so hard. What a blessing to see your mom and grandmother reunited in that wonderful hug. I recently reunited with my mom and grandmother after 8 years so I know how much emotion are in those tears.
the minute your mom and grandma reunited had me tearing until the end of the vlog. honestly another reminder to cherish moments with loved ones.
미쉘 어머니~~
응원합니다~
영상에 자주 나오세요^^
'없으면 없는대로 있으면 있는대로~~`
정답이예요~^^
I knew that this vlog would make me cry, so I put it off for a few days and now coming back to it I'm a wet mess...
No matter how old you get or where you go in life, you'll always be your mom's baby. ❤
I can't imagine how grateful and happy you must be doing this for your mom.. I cried when your mom hugged your grandma so tightly while crying.. Please tell her that she's such a strong woman and raised such a selfless daughter!🥰 새해 복 많이 받으세용~
I cried when your mom embraced her mom 😭 I feel this so much since I myself live in a different country from my mom 💔 it was such a wholesome video and I’m so happy you got to do this!
This video had me literally sobbing my eyes out, so so happy you were able to bring your mom back to her home country, especially so she could reunite with her own mom!! Happy new years everyone :)
This feels so personal. I can't imagine the emotions your mom was going through. Thank you so much for sharing these moments with us.
first two mins in and i’m already in tears 🥺 so much love to you and your mama 🤍
This is so pure and precious, I am so happy that you got the chance to record these moments so you can always look back to. And also very thankful that you chose to share them with us ❤
I just had tears rolling down my face the whole time. Your mom could not be more beautiful/precious/cute/and right about every single thing she said at the end. You are so incredibly lucky to have her!! Thank you for sharing her with us!
This is my new favorite vlog from yours🥺 한국에서 어머님이랑 좋은 시간 보내구 와❤❤❤
Your mom is absolutely the cutest! I love how you take care of your family and how they let you and appreciate it all!!! I also love how your mom absolutely melted into her moms arms and to hear her say mommy just made me get so chocked up. It was so child-like to hear her say that. No matter how old we get, mom will still be simply “mom” 🤧♥️
This is such an emotional video Michelle thank you for letting us be a part of this. You did not have to record this at all for any of us to see, but the fact that you included us makes me for one, feel so happy. I definitely cried watching this! I hope one day I will be able to capture moments like how you captured this special one.
I too started crying like a baby when your mom saw her mom again. You filmed it so beautifully, the focus of your mom’s hand on her neck or arm on her arm, it really spoke of so much love between different generations of women and it felt so pure and raw. It made me think of my own mom and grandmothers and how special that connection is for me. Thank you for sharing this. Last time you made the video with your grandmother where you were stroking her hair I also cried a lot. It’s so beautiful to see this authenticity on the platform. Thank you Michelle.
wow that reunion between your mom and your grandma crushed me 😭 as the daughter of immigrants my heart hurts to imagine how my parents must have felt leaving their family behind and not being able to see them as often as they would like. Makes me appreciate their sacrifices for me even more! You are such an amazing daughter and an inspiration!
seeing ur mom reunite with her mom, bought me to tears
That was such a beautiful reunion! Made me cry too 😢
This whole vlog made me so emotional. The power of generations of daughters coming together is so beautiful.
I got so emotional when I saw your mom and grandma reunion. I cannot imagine being away from my mom this long. It must have been so hard for you mom and grandma. This is a lovely trip you both took. You are an amazing daughter and human being
