Would like to just compliment how sensitive and great display of empathy by the young Indian lady, I thought the whole interaction was very genuine and caring from her end.
Yes! The way she just naturally stretched out her hand (it was just one second but it was just so striking). And the hug at the end!
She's a punjabi
Charmaine is so amazingly strong. I do not know how she keeps it together most of the time. And Charlie's one hell of a trooper.
Love what the couple said at 13:06 "As long as you live today well, you don't have to worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will settle itself."
I’ve worked with Charmaine once on a shoot a few years ago, and we briefly got to meet her family during the shoot. Her daughter Charlie, was wise and eloquent, and displayed grace towards the crew who were using her bedroom to film in for the shoot. Charmaine is a lovely person to work with, and even though we never got the chance to work again after that shoot, the memory of her being so genuine and understanding to us stays with me. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Charmaine. ❤
They were both really sweet to have on!!
Charmaine’s so strong 🥺 also love the love she’s shining back on her family. It’s a tough journey for the whole family but it sounds like the kids are surrounded by great, loving role models.
I just bawled my eyes out throughout this video - it’s so raw and authentic. I truly don’t know how I’d have even half of Charmaine’s strength to press on through something like this with my own children. Thank you for sharing your story x
Wow ! I am sorry I can’t remember the lady who is in brown shirt. She is such a gorgeous lady. When she asked can I give u a hug ? That makes me tears ……
Great selection of profiles, and seamless storytelling. I dropped a silent tear. Mothers are just the rocks of our families and Charlie, you're so loved!
Reminds me of my poor old mom. She made sure that foods were on the table for her children day and night.
Poverty never stopped her from feeding us.
She is now old with dementia and cancer. We make sure that she maintains a good quality of life until she rests in peace.
Wow what an impactful and empowering story, honestly the way charmaine brings up all her children is so impressive to me, still having the time to teach them about the importance of mental health and eating healthy, all while going through what she is going through. She really is so strong and such a great mother.
I wished I had the kind of upbringing and family unit that Charmaine has. Because I don’t, I know I won’t become a mother one day because my children wouldn’t be able to grow up in a such a good home. Jiayou Charmaine, you’re beyond blessed :)
Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope this doesn't come across as unsolicited, but your comment made me think of how my mum tried to create a better environment for her kids despite growing up in a tough one, and she turned out to be a great mum - so it's definitely possible to do so! But regardless of whether it's with children, I hope that you'll be able to create your own safe and warm home in future ❤️ -Jia Ling (producer)
Wow, such a wise people in this video. Being vulnerable and opening up about struggles we have to deal with in life really creates this sense of empathy that’s so important. ❤
I really applaud the strength that I see in Charmaine...Thankfully you have a supportive family whom you can count on. Hopefully your eldest can get out of this situation with love and care
so much strength from this video. hope Charlie has a speedy recovery!
awesome content as usual, thanks OGS! sending all the best wishes to the families being featured here. they are all so amazing and strong.
The sweetest. I only wish her family all the best! Thank you for sharing your story
This video is overflowing with an abundance of genuine kindness and pure love, such a meaningful piece. thanks for sharing
We often hear how challenges strengthen and matures a person... I see that so much in Charlie.... she is only 9 yo but she demonstrates so much inner strength and courage and most of all, despite all, she remains grateful and her agreement with Dahlia shows that bond btw siblings which Charmaine must have inculcated... Kudos to Charmaine and her hubby for bringing up such wonderful children.... Love triumphs and transcends all... Thank you Charmaine for inspiring us all...
Thanks for sharing the various perspectives and experiences, it's nice to hear this discussion. And Charmaine's kids are so cuteeeee 💪❤
thank you so much for telling this strong and courageous story
This is such a beautifully made video :”) Thank you!
this is just.. wow. all the best to Charmaine and Charlie!
Wow, this is really a great video. Touched and lots of respect from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for sharing perspectives of being a mum: I have great admiration for you and your strength.
I almost changed this video, instead I watched …all of it and it changed my life… thank you. Msg received
hi OGS, i've been following you guys for more than 2 years now. your 'can ask meh' series has been my utmost favourite. i tried looking this up on spotify but i didn't find it. i wanted to suggest the team to add this as a podcast on streaming platforms as well as it will be super beneficial, thanks :)
All three of her children are so adorable 🥹🥹🥹
All these stories are so positive, yet I always cry and feel so down and pessimistic about life. I don know if I should continue seeing these stories or stop for the good.
My younger sister and I have a very big age gap. She’s 11, I’m 24. This also meant that my parents are quite old to be parenting a child. Life caught up to them and at some point, they turned to phones and devices to distract my sister while they tended to their own stuff. I wouldn’t call them lazy - i think theyre just not as young and energetic as they were when i was growing up. Beyond that, screen time is impossible to escape these days compared to when I was a child. Over time, my sister has gotten quite dependent on iPads and phones, to the point where it has affected her performance at school and her social skills too. She’s often on her own, isolated and aversive to making friends or doing something physical. She goes through periods of being down/low energy, faces anxiety and mood swings too. it’s really so worrying for me! 😢
Limiting screen time is so so crucial these days. Its a scary world out there . Lets all work towards building a better future for the upcoming generations!
Great video, kudos to the team for making us reflect. ❤
Tbh i saved this video for later for my free time, like now, cause i know i will cry... like a lot
Big respect to charmaine for sharing this stories to the world, may happiness bless your family all
I can tell you that you will cry haha I just cried during the whole video
Charmaine you are such amazing mother to your children I saw Charlie's big hugs for them 😘💕😘💕😘💕
❤take care Charmaine
Ahh Charlie n her sisters are so cute and sweet, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for the family. Kudos to Charmaine for sharing so candidly and really loved Li Jing’s candour hahaha. Was tearing a bit towards the end. Sending big hugs for the recovery process (both physically and emotionally) ♥️ !!
Totally could relate to the hate for vegetables. It was only in my teens that I developed a liking for vegetables
You are an amazing mother an person and charlie is the strongest girl❤️
She created someone to suffer and die. Let's not celebrate something like that.
Vegetable can be pepared in any form. You can juice it with other fruits or make a sauce drizzle over protein or bake in pastry. Hope this will help your children eat vegetable.
Awesome moms!
Very brave young lady facing a very tough and scary moment of life… an example of dignity. I have a question .. why the cushions..? Is it for solace ?
Go charlie! 😘🥰💪🏼
She is so brave 🥺🥺🥺
What a wonderful and inspiring story to share. Love your girls! They are as pretty as you! God bless each and everyone of you and speedy recovery, Charlie…
You just tell them. They deserve to know why they don't feel good and are going to have to practically live at the hospital. This coming from a mom who has a son with a heart condition. Which if he doesn't get a heart transplant when he is older will die by 30. It's hard but you have to just be vulnerable and tell them.
I'm an antinatalist. I will tell u bluntly that u were wrong to have kids. U deserve to know that your son was born and has to suffer and eventually die, because u and your baby daddy were selfish. Nothing personal though.
Charmaine seems like a tough woman. 💜
Thank you very much for sharing. I have learn a lot from you. Love yr positive thinking and u have a wonderful family. God bless you and yr daughter 💗
This is an amazing series, I would like to share my life story too. 😊 I am actually adopted when I was a baby, I found out from my adoptive mother that my birth mother could not look after me & I was given up for adoption .
Such an amazing lady 🥹 u can just see kindness in her eyes 💝💝💝
Banyak2 guna masakan berasaskan rempah kunyit untuk mengurangkan leukemia
I would not be able to do it and be as strong as her
huggggggs
charme 🤍🤍🤍
From questions posed by lady in green checks, I personally feel she has some peculiar kind of thinking or phobia of kids? 😅
Thank you for sharing. It'll be reminded me when my daughter started fever and strog pain on foot... also because of Leukemia. From that My life, especially our relationship with my husband has been totally changed, and I could founded out how he was selfish, heartless and easygoing human. 🥺 My daughter had discovered that her dad sent love words to his mistress when they were waiting for follow up treatment. He ate many good things with his bitch, on the other hands my daughter gave up many her favorites due to chemotherapy, and he had very close contact ❤ with his bitch during very pandemic situation. I did my best to shut down many germs not to infect my daughter, but her father was the dirtiest jerk! 😂
This is the true story. Thank Got, I'm totally insane.🤪
Prayers for healing and peace in Jesus name. Amen Matthew 4:23
❤
ITS so funny right
My story on the other hand is "I was diagnosed with leukemia. Then my mother got pregnant"😂
Sorry to hear that :( Hope you and your family are coping ok ❤️
😢
Sad reality of life. Most people are always thinking that family is the ultimate purpose of life. And if you dun have a family, something is wrong with you. If this video is to encourage people to get married and have kids, too bad, I am not one to vote for this. Why?
It's not just about having a heavy burden on my shoulders, but Something else needs me more anything else. Not everyone is for family, and not everyone is for lone ranger like me. But for me, something more important comes to mind. I live for Peace. Inner and outer peace.
While most people worry about their future, I felt concerned over the world. While most people worry about themselves, I worry about the world, and so for me, family life is not an option anymore.
For me, my option is peace. God's peace for the world. And for that, spiritual life is more practical.
A wise man once said, 'Mediate and pray so that God does not see you as another useless human being.' there are far too many useless human beings out there today, that's why there are so many upheavals, cruelties, wars and unhappiness. Because too many people worry about themselves more than peace in the world.
I feel blessed and I feel protected. I have had at least 4-5 near missed accidents. I have also experienced extraordinary things. Something tells me, life is more than what we see out there. the Divine needs us more than ever. But I see very few takers. Maybe it's ignorance, maybe it's not their time yet. but the world is going through so much, and less people are taking note or action. All they care about is family, no having anyone to take care when they grow old. I lived each day knowing that I am protected by the Divine. My mum is 87 yrs old and she can still walk without a walking stick. Family cannot take care of such things.
Wall of text to spread your religion. Definitely worth downvoting 🙄
I’m gonna get downvoted to hell, but 13:57 she meant, if you knew that Charlie had cancer (genetically predisposed), would you still have more kids? Also, father in law having cancer is another sign too.
Food for thought for other viewers. Wishing you and your three daughters all the best.
Lol nope. Still don’t want kids.
People who still have kids knowing this world is dying are selfish beyond belief. And deserve the worst
don't blame your parents.💗
@@oki148 what's your logic behind that comment?
@@oki148 let me rob u then, but don't blame me, ok?
So basically your telling humans to go extinct because your life is so miserable. And you clearly have nothing to be grateful for. Wow you must be the most miserable human being in the world.
