I completely agree 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰👐👐 I was just telling my daughter that This happens so often in families with addiction and abuse. So many unnamed unseen unthanked superheroes out there.
my sister had to grow up and be the parent. she was the oldest of four. she did the best she could when we were living under our mothers roof. she has taken all of us in at one point or another after becoming an adult. she was my legal guardian when i was in high school. i am not an easy person to deal with and i put her through some shit as a teenager. but any time i have a parent or mom question she is the first person i call, even to this day. i have no idea where i would be today if it wasn't for her. and she always teases me because i get sappy and tell her how much i love and appreciate her and make her cry.
"Don't think I'll ever forget that time you left me at the grocery store when I was 11" ASDFGGHJKL. This video is wholesome and heartwarming at best. Family is not about biological terms but chemistry formed from an individual to another. I was adopted by my mother and let me tell you, she's my superhero. Though we bicker ALOT, we still love each other, spill tea about things and she honestly meant alot to me.
Claire (Stacy's foster daughter) is my best friend and we have been best friends since middle school and I remember how bad things were back then, we wearnt even allowed to hang out because of that group home. It made me feel so... helpless every day when all I could do was hug her. She called me today to show me this amazing video and it only made me appreciate Stacy even more because this summer we were able to see eachother again for a whole weekend! I'm really over the moon to see how much Stacy has impacted Claire's life in such a short amount of time and how independent she is now. They are both truly amazing people and I am grateful to have met Stacy and have Claire as a best friend 💖
Hi I adore you so much thank you for being such an amazing best friend. I hope you guys always together through thic and thin. Love you guys God bless you
@evilpopcans3735 lol anyway, fostering isn't for you, and parenting is a thankless job. She doesn't even have to call her mom, bc techinically, she is not her mom. And she did have a mom before her. She is a second one.
2:02 "We had a Absent Father ... not because he left us but because he had 2 Fulltime jobs ......" Salut to him for working for his Kids so they could eat. He had no time for them but he did what was in his power. Must been realy hard for the 3 of them
@@ljepotica6073 no she wasn't raising him alone. Yall definitely don't have kids with these simple responses. She nurtured as women do. She didn't raise her brother alone. This video wasn't even about that.
@@ChillyChav She was practically alone because raising a child isn't just about providing money and they made it clear he was never around BECAUSE he was working two jobs.
@@Solidude4 they didn't make it clear tho. You assumed he was never around because they resent him for their mother. Watch it again. Where do they say he didn't raise them? They speak of how terrible their mother was so they hold their father responsible. What about the father? Do you know how hard it was for him to be strong in this situation? Yall have poor insight on real life.
I raised my sister when I was 13 and she was 10, until I was 18 and she was 15. I helped her with homework, acted as her sister (gossip, talking about school), cooked food every night, helped her with her periods, helped her sleep every night due to her insomnia and helped her through all friendship and relationship problems while I juggled school, taking care of my ill mother and a job. Now that she's 21, she's totally cut me off. Today I got married and she arranged a shift on work just to miss it. She never said anything. I live in a flat with my husband right next to the main house. She's cut me off and would never tell me why no matter how often I asked. My point is, not everyone will remember it as a positive experience and will have conflicting feelings (is she my sister or my mom?). Sometimes people will just cut you out after you raised them. It's complex because no sibling should have to raise their younger siblings, but it's so common and it doesn't always end up well. Just don't take what bonds you have with your siblings for granted.
Thank you for sharing. This happened to me too. Definitely not doing , this again. I hope you live your best life and find someone to take care of you. Their is some ungrateful people out here, that don’t deserve anything.
@@lavonnealexander6936 hope you're doing better, Lavonne. I'm loved by many others and I find family where I'm loved, not where blood is. Wish you the best. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has struggled - it gives me some solidarity that I'm not a terrible person
My youngest sister has done this with me. I figure it is because my presence is a reminder of the messed up situation we grew up in. It hurts, but I do not fault them on it.
The young girl reading the letter to her aunt touched my heart you could tell she was so nervous she had her paper all crumpled up and her little voice :/ bless her heart!! And the sister who raised her brother what an amazing person!!! The courage it took to raise her 10 year old brother
Don’t mind all the tears. I didn’t have abusive parents but I had self centered parents. I am who I am because of them but my older sister stepped up a lot and she knows I love her because we learned open communication from our parents but I can’t help but be emotional watching this.
Who sliced onions?!🧅😭 I adopted my little sister when she was 12, now she is turning 19 and I am SOOO proud of her😭 the fact that she loves me, she is a GREAT friend aside of a little-big sis ♥️ I love being able to give her a person who will help her grow and never leave her side✨
You're amazing! I don't know how to adequately express my admiration! And I can empathize to a degree, It may not be possible to be as good a caretaker as we should, but god damn if we shouldn't try
Those darn onion ninjas! You never see them, but the tears they leave in their wake... Man! As for you @Lah Brujax, you're a great human and I sincerely hope that good things happen for you in your life. You are a blessing to your sister and I hope you are also blessed!
I’m sorry for the kids who were let down (abused) by their biological parents. Thank you to the sister, aunt, and foster mom for being there, having the extra heart.
Shout out to the ones that have cared for us like their own when we weren't. I've always wanted to say thank you to my aunt who always had my back when mine and my moms relationship was rocky. Never turned away from me.❤
I'm very sorry to pry but I'm really curious.. is there a reason you haven't been able to tell her right now? Is she still there? Again, I'm really sorry if this is too personal
@@pulkitjain2361 she's still in my life! Unfortunately as I've grown I've grown apart from her too.. this video made me realize that I should probably let her know exactly how much she helped me all those years.. thank you
The older sister and little brother story is very common with kids who grew up in abuse they build a bond because they kind of have to raise themselves beautiful ♥️
The older I get ( and im only a 25 year old guy) , i truly appreciate how loving, caring and supportive a household I grew up in and realize how lucky i actually was. I love you mom and dad, and i miss both of you so much
Eventhough both my mom and dad are around and they take full care of us and are amazing I still feel a motherly love toward my two little sisters. I would sacrifice everything for them. They are my world
This is me with my little brother. He'll always be my first child and I'll always be there for him. Maternal and Paternal love doesn't have to stem off from being biologically their parents.
I personally was also raised by my aunt and see her as my mother. So this video really speaks to me and is genrally so beautiful!! Also i have never seen this topic discused in a video so thank you for that cut!! 💜 (PS: sorry if i spell something wrong im german-turkish and english is not my first language👀)
I’m glad I found this. My mom died from kidney failure when I was 16 and I had to help raise I’m 11 year old brother. I remember learning to grocery shop, making sure he got to school and cooking every day and cleaning. I wouldn’t change anything because it made me a better man.
As the eldest child as well as daughter, I was also parentified. I was mother to both my sisters *and* mother. My mother is an addict who never grew up and my father never wanted to really be a dad to begin with so he was MIA most of the time. I wish everyone in this video a beautiful life ❤️
My mom(biological aunt) raised me ,sacrificed a lot and showed me what a mother's love is. This is so relatable to me... Hugs to all the mother figures out there
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! This makes me want to consider adopting. Addiction is such a cycle. If it runs in your family, please don’t ever even try it. Thats the best thanks you could ever give to anyone that may have cared for you when you’re parents couldn’t or didn’t is to not repeat the cycle. Those that failed you aren’t worth it. Keep your head up!
the sister looking up and to the side at 5:34 as her brother is talking about the abuse, I know that look it's when you try to look around so you don't cry mixed with every memory vividly coming back as he details his own memories, she's strong
I'm crying watching this because I recently lost my great-grand aunt. My parents are wonderful, loving people but my great-grand aunt was always there for my siblings and me, for our family. Picked us up from school for years, took us out to eat, referred to us as her 'grandchildren'. She'd listen to my mom vent after work, helped her with the chores she didn't have time to do. She recently died and her death shocked us. My mom lost a best friend and my siblings and I lost a caretaker, our first friend. We really miss her so much.
My mom walked out on me and my sister when I was four. This hit me so, so hard. Much love to all of the children of broken families and to those who are around to help pick up the pieces. You aren’t alone ♥️
The brother and sister story touched me the most and had me in tears..reminds me of how close my sister and I was growing up (I was the older one ) I took her everywhere with me and people thought I was a teen dad, mom ( single parent) worked so I helped out ..normal healthy home life no abuse 😁✌
When I look at my younger brother now and see the results of my doings, of all the late night explaining of mother's behavior towards him, of correcting all the shit that she and his father did to him, all the re-education that I had to do, while being a child myself, and having suffered so much abuse myself, it makes my heart whole, knowing that I succeeded, and when I tell people that he feels like my son, they just don't get it. His heart is my heart. This video hit so deep.
This video made me way too emotional. All these individuals are amazing--but the brother and sister's story really touched my heart. I'm glad they had each other, that sister is amazing.
My mother recently passed and my little brother is barely a teenager. With my father working away, I'm basically raising him. So this video hit a little close to home. 💙
I'm that big sister, but things are so fractured in my family that I'll never get this recognition. Thank you, @Cut, for making this video and letting me live vicariously through these lovely people, sincerely. 🥰
Hearing her say thank you for simply being loved really touched me 5:52 😫🥰 you can feel that she's never really felt loved by anyone until that moment. And that it's one step closer to healing. It's beautiful. I've watched this atleast 20 time's sent it to my 2nd mother she saved my life Leanne Harthern YOU SAVED MY LIFE I LOVE YOU.(I know you'll never see this and I know you know how thankful I am but anyone who sees this should know that me and you is at 5:52 you helped me heal.
This was beautiful!!! I’m literally eating my lunch crying at how wholesome this was. So happy that despite the cards these teens were dealt, they were still able to have someone to love them for who they are
whatever role you're playing in someone's life (im assuming) you're making a very meaningful impact in their journey and maybe they dont recognize it now but i hope they will later 🥺 im so proud of you
I was raised my aunt for the first four years of my life, as my mother had to take care of my younger brother. I can relate to this, as a child my early memory was around her.
i cried so much at this because i am trying to raise my sister, because i cant actually trust is our parents. and it's so hard sometimes but just to see her smile after a rough day makes everything better and i just hope i am doing a great job. it would mean the world to me if she said something like this to me someday.
My dad was absent too working several jobs. My mum fell ill. I’ve taken care of my brother since I was 16 I’m now 26. Its emotional listening to this cause it’s a reality for lots of older siblings. “It’s just something you had to do” - honestly would do anything for my siblings 🫶🏽
commenting to say thank you to my grandmother for being both parents to me and for always being my rock❤️, because of her I learnt at only 8 years old, how to take care of all 3 of my siblings who I share that non-biological mother connection with🥰. I miss you grandma , RIP🕊
I am so blessed to have 2 loving parents I could not imagine what these kids had went through during their childhood that must’ve been scary and traumatizing
Only love for everyone of them, I cried tears of joy and because I was so touched. Mad respect for all these beautiful non-biological mothers. Makes me feel so thankful for my own mother and father figures. Also shoutout to The Cut for making this series, it means the world because family is more than just bloodline and so many people like myself can relate.
Dude.. my older sister was the same... my parents were workaholics.. and she practically raised me and my other sister from infant till high school.. such blessings when you have people around you that love you and will sacrifice the world for you..
I raised my brothers from the age of 9 when they were only 7 and 5. This made me cry because my situation was similar to theirs. My mom worked 3 jobs while my dad was absent and abusive. I’ll be 22 next month and they’ll be 20 in March and 18 in April. I moved out of my moms house now and we haven’t seen my dad since then but every now and then I check on them and bring them food at my moms house. She also owns her own house now and only works one job after working her ass off ❤️
Awww the sister and brother one hit me sm🥺🥺🥺 I’m so overprotective over my little brother and would do that for him if I was in that position! Bless everyone’s heart in this video ❤️!!!
The brother and sister remind me of when I uplift my older sister and confess my appreciation and admiration towards her.She finds a way to make it funny so she doesn’t cry
This just reminded me to thank my caretaker, she has always been there for me, not only as a maid but as my actual mom.. I love her more than my real mom because she’s always been there for me and respects me as a person
Just to put it out there cause I can’t write a letter now, to Jesse thank you for being there for me as a father. I never had a father figure until you showed up when I was young. I honor you to this day and you still teach me things in spirit. I wish i could see you to tell you but I know you can see me and hear me. I love you.
I couldn't finish watching this because it went too close to my heart but this really reminded me of the people who took over my parents roles in my life and for the most part it was my older sister. She is only 1,5 years older than me but she is the only person that I truly feel like I can rely on and ask for help. I don't know where I would be without her.
at 17. wow. A baby, raising a baby. What a fantastic human being. Also Claire is such a sweetheart! what a sweet angel I hope she does amazing things and helps others, I just sense those vibes from her
These videos make me wanna cry. I was brought up by my biological mum so I can't just imagine myself being in such situation and I can't even understand a little part of what these heros have done for the readers. It is amazing. May God bless them
From Adoptee, to adoptee, I wish nothing but the best, understanding, unconditional, loving relationship with her second mom🖤 You deserve nothing but to always know and feel like you are chosen, loved, safe, cared for, and seen.🖤 CUT always finds a way to provide content that I can relate to. Thank you so much to the whole team and the humans in this video for sharing a part of themselves with strangers. & being so vulnerable and honest 😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Omgggg! So many tears! I love this! I had so many woman in my life that stepped up and showed me love when I didn’t have it or felt pushed to the side. My mother and I are close now but that is thankfully do to her getting a diagnosis and propped medications to help her. This video was amazing!
I know this was very heartfelt but damn....the siblings are very attractive people. I couldn't help blushing the entire time they came up. Just looking foiiinneee
This touched me so much. I've been a mom to my nephew since he was 3 months old. He'll be 13 in June! I tell everyone he's my son. He thought me how to be a mom at the age of 19 and I wouldn't change it for the world. Best thing that ever happened to me. Love you baby.
Made me tear up more than I expected. Made me think back on having a brother stepping in as a fatherly figure during my childhood. Not that I had it as rough as the people in the video, but nevertheless I really appreciate it. Love to all non-biological parents and siblings taking on a parental role out there!
All non-biological parents are amazing but older siblings especially. God. Gets me. The fact that most of those situations are ones where those older siblings are often still teens or young adults themselves but they have to suddenly take on the role of being an adult and parents. Fuck. Gets me every time.
i have special brother like this, and the love, compassion, shared wisdom and soul connection between us, I would never sacrifice. He often tells me and introduces me to his friends as the woman who raised him, and that feels like an honor as he is such a special and precious being. We had very immature, abusive and neglectful parents. One who was always gone or drunk when they were home, and the other who resented their undertaking and shoved as much of it as possible onto me, the eldest of four. Times were so hard back then, but the bonds that were forged, in some sick way, were the reward for all of that suffering. I cant change what happened, and i wouldnt trade what I gained in return. Life is a strange ride, and the only thing that ever makes it worth it, is the company you keep and the companions you share your life with.
I was raised by my grandmother. She passed away just before Christmas this past year. What I would give to express to her the gratitude I have for the sacrifices she made for me…
oh my heart and the feels! this was all super emotional. all beautiful story's. the siblings, wow the older sister is a damn super hero. major props to her as a person also holy crap is she beautiful too. on the inside ( clearly ) and out.
imagine that you suddenly have to grow up and be an adult when you're still a kid, she truly is a superhero 😭
idk if superhero is fitting it's just traumatic asl
I completely agree 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰👐👐
I was just telling my daughter that This happens so often in families with addiction and abuse. So many unnamed unseen unthanked superheroes out there.
not really a super experience for her though.
as the oldest sister who had to grow up too young, i appreciate this comment

I'm crying watching this because I recently lost my great-grand aunt. My parents are wonderful, loving people but my great-grand aunt was always there for my siblings and me, for our family. Picked us up from school for years, took us out to eat, referred to us as her 'grandchildren'. She'd listen to my mom vent after work, helped her with the chores she didn't have time to do. She recently died and her death shocked us. My mom lost a best friend and my siblings and I lost a caretaker, our first friend. We really miss her so much.
My mom walked out on me and my sister when I was four. This hit me so, so hard. Much love to all of the children of broken families and to those who are around to help pick up the pieces. You aren’t alone ♥️
they’re all so cute
The brother and sister story touched me the most and had me in tears..reminds me of how close my sister and I was growing up (I was the older one ) I took her everywhere with me and people thought I was a teen dad, mom ( single parent) worked so I helped out ..normal healthy home life no abuse 😁✌
The foster mother saying she loves her very much ugh :’) i loved hearing all these letters
Please do one with Non-Biological fathers, as well. This was amazing. Thankyou to the folks at Cut 😊
This is beautiful.. I’m currently 25 and been raising my 16yr old niece since she was 11.. so this hits close to home 💓
When I look at my younger brother now and see the results of my doings, of all the late night explaining of mother's behavior towards him, of correcting all the shit that she and his father did to him, all the re-education that I had to do, while being a child myself, and having suffered so much abuse myself, it makes my heart whole, knowing that I succeeded, and when I tell people that he feels like my son, they just don't get it. His heart is my heart. This video hit so deep.
This is my favorite cut video I've seen. As a person who's been mothered by many, I call them my extra mom's! I'm never not grateful for each of them!
HUGE shout out to all the incredible women/mothers/mother figures out there!
This video made me way too emotional. All these individuals are amazing--but the brother and sister's story really touched my heart. I'm glad they had each other, that sister is amazing.
My mother recently passed and my little brother is barely a teenager. With my father working away, I'm basically raising him. So this video hit a little close to home. 💙
Condolences, and also you should know that you are a wonderful person and sibling !
I'm that big sister, but things are so fractured in my family that I'll never get this recognition. Thank you, @Cut, for making this video and letting me live vicariously through these lovely people, sincerely. 🥰
Hearing her say thank you for simply being loved really touched me 5:52 😫🥰 you can feel that she's never really felt loved by anyone until that moment. And that it's one step closer to healing. It's beautiful. I've watched this atleast 20 time's sent it to my 2nd mother she saved my life Leanne Harthern YOU SAVED MY LIFE I LOVE YOU.(I know you'll never see this and I know you know how thankful I am but anyone who sees this should know that me and you is at 5:52 you helped me heal.
This is one of the best videos I've watched in awhile. Do more, like this! Different forms of people appreciating others! We need more of these!
This was beautiful!!! I’m literally eating my lunch crying at how wholesome this was. So happy that despite the cards these teens were dealt, they were still able to have someone to love them for who they are
This video meant so much to me for so many reasons, thank you cut
whatever role you're playing in someone's life (im assuming) you're making a very meaningful impact in their journey and maybe they dont recognize it now but i hope they will later 🥺 im so proud of you
@@ruthpaul9964 this actually made me tear up, thank you so much for your sweet comment, it really made my day!!
I was raised my aunt for the first four years of my life, as my mother had to take care of my younger brother. I can relate to this, as a child my early memory was around her.
i cried so much at this because i am trying to raise my sister, because i cant actually trust is our parents. and it's so hard sometimes but just to see her smile after a rough day makes everything better and i just hope i am doing a great job. it would mean the world to me if she said something like this to me someday.
My dad was absent too working several jobs. My mum fell ill. I’ve taken care of my brother since I was 16 I’m now 26. Its emotional listening to this cause it’s a reality for lots of older siblings. “It’s just something you had to do” - honestly would do anything for my siblings 🫶🏽
What a big sacrifice these people made. They deserve a medal.
commenting to say thank you to my grandmother for being both parents to me and for always being my rock❤️, because of her I learnt at only 8 years old, how to take care of all 3 of my siblings who I share that non-biological mother connection with🥰. I miss you grandma , RIP🕊
I am so blessed to have 2 loving parents I could not imagine what these kids had went through during their childhood that must’ve been scary and traumatizing
As a sister raising their 7yr old sister, This made me sob 😭
Only love for everyone of them, I cried tears of joy and because I was so touched. Mad respect for all these beautiful non-biological mothers. Makes me feel so thankful for my own mother and father figures. Also shoutout to The Cut for making this series, it means the world because family is more than just bloodline and so many people like myself can relate.
Dude.. my older sister was the same... my parents were workaholics.. and she practically raised me and my other sister from infant till high school.. such blessings when you have people around you that love you and will sacrifice the world for you..
I raised my brothers from the age of 9 when they were only 7 and 5. This made me cry because my situation was similar to theirs. My mom worked 3 jobs while my dad was absent and abusive. I’ll be 22 next month and they’ll be 20 in March and 18 in April. I moved out of my moms house now and we haven’t seen my dad since then but every now and then I check on them and bring them food at my moms house. She also owns her own house now and only works one job after working her ass off ❤️
Awww the sister and brother one hit me sm🥺🥺🥺 I’m so overprotective over my little brother and would do that for him if I was in that position! Bless everyone’s heart in this video ❤️!!!
The brother and sister remind me of when I uplift my older sister and confess my appreciation and admiration towards her.She finds a way to make it funny so she doesn’t cry
That ‘thank you’ after she said she loved her, MY FACE IS WET HELP ITS UNCOMFY!
I CAN'T with this today!... Started boo-hooing right out the gate. Letters hadn't even been read! How beautiful! 😭
Cut, please do more of these videos, more of these telling our loved ones how we feel while we still can.
This just reminded me to thank my caretaker, she has always been there for me, not only as a maid but as my actual mom.. I love her more than my real mom because she’s always been there for me and respects me as a person
Just to put it out there cause I can’t write a letter now, to Jesse thank you for being there for me as a father. I never had a father figure until you showed up when I was young. I honor you to this day and you still teach me things in spirit. I wish i could see you to tell you but I know you can see me and hear me. I love you.
I couldn't finish watching this because it went too close to my heart but this really reminded me of the people who took over my parents roles in my life and for the most part it was my older sister. She is only 1,5 years older than me but she is the only person that I truly feel like I can rely on and ask for help. I don't know where I would be without her.
Im soooo happy i have my mother and i can count on her, i see not everybody have this privilege.
When the foster mother said she loved her foster daughter, I felt all that girl’s insecurity crumble away and she was so happy.
at 17. wow. A baby, raising a baby. What a fantastic human being.
Also Claire is such a sweetheart! what a sweet angel I hope she does amazing things and helps others, I just sense those vibes from her
My older sister and I cried watching the two siblings because that's literally us.
These videos make me wanna cry. I was brought up by my biological mum so I can't just imagine myself being in such situation and I can't even understand a little part of what these heros have done for the readers. It is amazing. May God bless them
From Adoptee, to adoptee, I wish nothing but the best, understanding, unconditional, loving relationship with her second mom🖤
You deserve nothing but to always know and feel like you are chosen, loved, safe, cared for, and seen.🖤
CUT always finds a way to provide content that I can relate to. Thank you so much to the whole team and the humans in this video for sharing a part of themselves with strangers. & being so vulnerable and honest 😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
god damn, casper is cutting onions in the next room
Beautiful video. I'm happy those kids found someone who actually cared for them. Not everyone is blessed like that.
Omgggg! So many tears! I love this! I had so many woman in my life that stepped up and showed me love when I didn’t have it or felt pushed to the side. My mother and I are close now but that is thankfully do to her getting a diagnosis and propped medications to help her. This video was amazing!
I know this was very heartfelt but damn....the siblings are very attractive people. I couldn't help blushing the entire time they came up. Just looking foiiinneee
The tears just keep on coming. A beautiful and heart-warming video!
This is not fair, you post this again and made me cry again.
This touched me so much. I've been a mom to my nephew since he was 3 months old. He'll be 13 in June! I tell everyone he's my son. He thought me how to be a mom at the age of 19 and I wouldn't change it for the world. Best thing that ever happened to me. Love you baby.
All these ladies deserve all the love and appreciation
Wow, I'm crying so hard from how sweet this is
Made me tear up more than I expected. Made me think back on having a brother stepping in as a fatherly figure during my childhood. Not that I had it as rough as the people in the video, but nevertheless I really appreciate it. Love to all non-biological parents and siblings taking on a parental role out there!
All non-biological parents are amazing but older siblings especially. God. Gets me. The fact that most of those situations are ones where those older siblings are often still teens or young adults themselves but they have to suddenly take on the role of being an adult and parents. Fuck. Gets me every time.
i have special brother like this, and the love, compassion, shared wisdom and soul connection between us, I would never sacrifice. He often tells me and introduces me to his friends as the woman who raised him, and that feels like an honor as he is such a special and precious being. We had very immature, abusive and neglectful parents. One who was always gone or drunk when they were home, and the other who resented their undertaking and shoved as much of it as possible onto me, the eldest of four. Times were so hard back then, but the bonds that were forged, in some sick way, were the reward for all of that suffering. I cant change what happened, and i wouldnt trade what I gained in return. Life is a strange ride, and the only thing that ever makes it worth it, is the company you keep and the companions you share your life with.
That "Ah crap he is going to make me cry" - is a true sibling response. As an older brother with much younger sister - I felt that
this was so touching 🥺. Claire (sooo sorry if i spelled your name wrong!!) really NEEDED to hear those three words, i love you 💕. i loved them all
Your welcome, I am glad to to help, 😊
I was raised by my grandmother. She passed away just before Christmas this past year. What I would give to express to her the gratitude I have for the sacrifices she made for me…
the video hasn't even started yet & I'm already fighting back tears & choking up dawg 😭😭
I almost cried. This is beautiful
SOBBING AT 7 IN THE MORNING
