  • This was pretty hard for me to do on camera. But I wanted to do it for you guys. I want to be as open as possible and make you guys feel like you are really apart of my life. Thanks to those of you that watched the whole video, I know it was long and videos like this may be a bit awkward to watch. You all rock.

    I cried because I used to treat my mom bad when I was young but now I treat my mom a lot better. My moms mom was 62 when her mom died and some nights see cries. I'll hug her and tell I'm so sorry. I've lost a lot in my life. Yes I'm still a kid and I still have a lot of things to loose. So I'm so sorry.

    I'm crying.
    My favorite memory would have to be with my brother that passed away three years ago while serving overseas. I remember when I was 15 I had my first heart break and I just remember coming home crying and him seeing me and grabbing his keys off the kitchen counter and he told me to get in the truck and we just drove until I had let everything out and we ended up 9 hours away from home at this lake and I remember is sitting in front of the lake and him saying "I know it's hard now but just remember that it's gonna get better and we can do this everyday if we have to. Life hits you hard sometimes but you just gotta pick yourself up and move on." And he grabbed me and pulled me closer to him and hugged me and kissed my forehead until I fell asleep and I remember right before I completely fell asleep I heard him say "besides who needs a boyfriend when you have me" and now every time I'm upset about something I remember that night and everything seems to get better

      I don't even know what to say too you but I felt I needed to say something. Your brother was military and he gave the ultimate sacrifice and that is so sad.I don't know his name but I will never forget Shelby Brookes' brother. He sounds like he was a brother a lot of us wish we had. Your memory made me cry as much as Ryan's did. I'm glad you have such a wonderful memory and it still helps you today.

    Ryan, I have been with you on this channel for a good number of years now, and I have watched the videos where you talk to us about your mother. I can tell that you love her so much, and she really seemed like a wonderful woman. Videos like these make me realise how much I love my own mother and father whom I am so fortunate to still have in my life. I hope that you know that we are here to support you and we will always be here to listen to you in times of happiness and in times of need.
    So, as you requested, my favourite childhood memory. I actually turned 18 today so I guess it's quite a big turning point in my life. My favourite childhood memory is just the time that I spent growing up in the Netherlands with all of my friends and family; I will always be grateful for those moments :)
    Stay Average my friend :)

She is finally in remission now and I feel almost guilty that people like you don't get to continue that relationship like I do. I'm so sorry Ryan, thank you for sharing this with us. I'm positive your mom is so proud of you and I hope you can find peace in knowing she's in a better place now.

    There isn't a more genuine person in the world than you man. I respect you for all that you have done and been through.
    You showed true strength and courage in this video, and to share this with us, well, that was nothing short of incredible and beautiful.
    This is one of the most heartfelt videos on youtube.. I couldn't help but cry, and I haven't cried to this extent since my grandfather passed away, as he was my idol. A person that always cared for me and was one of the most positive of people.
    He sadly grew weak each and every day after having fallen over.. And it pains me whenever I think of that..
    Not that I don't deserve to have suffered, but that he didn't deserve to part so early..
    The worst part for me was not having the opportunity of going to his funeral, since I was living in island of Madeira (Portugal) and the funeral was back in my place of birth Nottingham (England)..
    Having never met my other grandfather, since he died at the hands of cancer before I was born, I always felt an emptiness and questioned how he was like.. Things I have spoken to my grandmother about, which are still sensitive to her..
    I will always treasure them in my heart, they will always have that special place.
    Thank you for this moment.
    Thank you for the laughs and the positive impact you've had on each and every one of my days. Thank you for everything.
    Stay strong and stay positive. (Trying hard not to steal your outro..)
    You rock too.

    Everyone should take advantage of the time with their mother. My mother is still alive, but we've never gotten along. We never had a relationship where she would read me to sleep or sing me to sleep or take me places. We were low on money, so she would be at work all night, and then she'd sleep or cook during the day. I appreciate the things that she was able to do, but we still just don't get along and most of the time it feels like I'm living with a stranger rather than a mother. She's home a lot more often now, and we're better off with money, but she's still so distant from me. I guess the point if this is please pay attention to your mother. If she wants to go shopping with you or go to the movies with you, go with her, because some people, whether they're in Ryan's situation or my situation, don't get those chances.

    Wow, I am a 24 year old guy and this video made me tear up. I cry not only at the video, but because I realize that nobody in my family has died since I was 4 and back then I was too young to understand. I am inexperienced with death and being autistic with a history of severe depression and anxiety, I fear a death in the family would likely result in me losing my sanity or something. Anyway, my favourite memory as a kid was the first time I went to a bonfire, I live in Northern Ireland and they happen every year, so the first time I saw one I was in awe, such a huge fire, despite the meaning behind it being unknown to me at the time. Thank you for making awesome videos Ryan. :D

    My grandma is the one who taught me to cook. She used to let me throw whatever I wanted into a pot and just go with it. One summer, she and I made a dish everyday out of a cookbook until we finished the whole thing. We would sit and laugh and she'd tell me stories about her life and how my mom was as a kid. I learned everything about food from her and she's the biggest reason I fell in love with cooking and decided to go to culinary school. She passed away about 5 years ago and I still get very emotional whenever I talk about her. Knowing she's the reason I discovered my dream is the sorta thing you can never repay someone for. She was truly and angel and I'm positive your mother was too. Loved the video. x

    My grandpa passed away recently in July. He was 95 years old and he lived an amazing life. Every year I would send him my school picture. He set them up in order from kindergarten to 7th grade. When we visited him, we'd always bring him donuts, candy, soda, a whole bunch of sweet stuff. Sometimes he's forget he had it and it would sit in his room for months.. He would always ask about my siblings and I. He always asked "What grade is Julie in?" (Me). Everything he would talk to my mom or me. He would ask how volleyball and equestrian is and he was always so engaged in conversations. He went to church every Sunday up until he was about 87. He prayed every day. He has so many crosses and religious statues in his room and it was so amazing. He gives us all signs that he is here, protecting us. He was the first person very close to me who I lost. I love him so much ❤️😭

But just in certain things I do he makes it clear that he is there watching over and protecting us. Stay strong! ❤️

    May favorite memory of my Mom would be our yearly Summer trips to Ocean City NJ. Every July we spent 4 weeks renting the same house for 7 years and then buying a house of our own. She lit up down there. It was obviously her favorite place in the world and to this day, I can't go back there.

    my favorite memory of my grandpa is...as we were leaving my grandparents house up in Minnesota (I live in Texas) we said bye and as we were driving away he and my grandma were standing in the driveway and I saw that they were holding up their hands saying "I love you" in sign language (my little sister is deaf). That was the last time I saw him before he past away from a rare cancer, my mom and dad never told me that he wasn't doing well so I never got to formally say goodbye...I uh, also lost a classmate who although I never really talked to her, I still somehow feel the emptiness of her chair behind mine...
    I've never really talked to anyone about this and I finally just released this feeling. thank you for reading this and I hope you make the most out of your time with the people around you as you never know what can happen.

    I don't know if you'll see this but if you stumble across this be reassured your Mom was an amazing person. She was definitely the outgoing one and she hit the head on the nail with the wrestling, the lake, and the holes as deep as you were tall. We were definitely like a family and we miss your Mom too. I'm glad I was able to know her for as long as I was able to. Even after you all left the campground the idea of you all being our neighbor stuck around.

    Ryan ,
    Thank you so much for this video . When I was young , I too lost my mother. I can't even explain the hole it's created in my life . Nobody I knew growing up dealt with the same . I always felt like I was missing out on something , everyone had their mother except me . And many kids bullied me over the fact that my mother passed . I'm a freshman in high school and I've recently stopped talking to one of my closest friends for bulling my over my mom . This video truly made me feel so much better. I can not thank you enough . You give me someone to relate to , I feel like I'm not alone . I know this may sound dumb but , thank you . Thank you . Thank you . I love you .

My favorite memory of my Grammy was actually recently. She had end stages dementia and COVID but before she had COVID I went to see her with my Grampy and she recognized me and her whole face lit up. I still have pics from that visit. I love that’s my last day mags of her in my mind. 💜

    My grandma used to take me and my sister and the neighbourhood kids to the little garden down the street. She spoke no english so the other kids never understood her. It was cute and funny. She used too sit on the big rock and knit or just watch us play... when i pass by that place from time to time I smile and think of her. She passed away when I was around 8 years old I am 23 now and I don't remember much but the memories and pictures I have are everything to me. I still cry sometimes and miss her.

    I'm a new comer to your channel and have only watched a few of your videos. However, this one is my absolute favorite. You showed such strength heading blindly into something so emotional and allowing your fan base to experience that with you. You're a great human being for putting this out there to help others.
    My favorite memory as a kid is simple. Summer days especially a weekend, it was nice waking up to my moms gentle touch as she woke me, I could smell breakfast cooking. Music would be on and as I came out I would see my parents either helping each other or dancing. We would all eat as a family, enjoying each other's company. My dad worked a lot so it was rare when we we're all together for a meal. We would spend time in the pool together, playing games, and just being together. Sometimes other family members would be there or friends. But summer days like that are my favorite memories.

I clicked on this video out of curiosity because everything else on this channel is so upbeat. I couldn't stop watching. Your emotions were so sincere and I can understand where you were coming from. One of my best friends' moms passed away recently from a rare cancer and it's so surreal without her here. You're very brave.

    I had to stop at 6:38 because I was balling because I was thinking about one of my loved ones that died two years ago. It was so sudden and it was very scary because I was only 12 years old. I knew a lot about death at a very young age because at my church I would serve almost every funeral. I was also scared because although we are not sure but we think what caused her death was cancer but she didn't want to do anything about it. I remember the what I said to my sister when she asked what I wanted to do about going to dance "she would have wanted me to go" and I was just balling I mean rn I am still crying. I was so close to her and I remember not seeing my dad for a couple days because it was his mom and she died on his birthday day. I can't begin to imagine how you felt Ryan. I mean I closed myself off for a long time and I still find it hard to talk about it and for you to post this video just shows how strong you are and may God be would and bless you.

    I remember I was in fifth grade.. I lost all my friends that day. My parents fought that day. My sibilings were angry and frustrated that day. I went out to get some fresh air at night. I went to this park.. Beside my house. I say there for hours.. Just looking. Looking at people passing by.. Or sitting with each other... Some people my age all with their friends. They all had 1 things in common. They were happy. They all smiled. They were so happy... That it made me happy. I found myself smiling for hours.. Forgetting about my day. I was happy that everyone was happy. This is my favourite memory, because till this day... I am alone. My parents fight. My sibilings are always frustrated and don't have time for me. And yet when I see how happy people are, I still smile. I'm still happy. And it will always be that way.

    When I was a kid my dad worked out of town a lot, so when he was home he would make it a point to not only spend time with us all together but each of me and my siblings individually. So once a month on a Saturday we'd go to water and ice for blue raspberry shaved ice and pineapple ice cream. Then to the sports shops next door and sneakily get baseball card without my mom knowing, because that was our thing, baseball cards, Wheaties boxes, and comic books. Well one day he decided lets do this on a Sunday instead, little did we know our water an ice was closed, so we drove around town and 3 cities over looking for a water and ice for about an hour and a half. I said it's okay Daddy I just like spending time with you and he said nope it's not okay, we will drive until I run out of gas, just so I can see that stained blue smile. We ended up 45 minute from home at an open water and ice. Even though this is a sort of reoccurring memory, this is my favorite version of our days out together. I lost my papa 10 years ago, and having been barely 12 at the time, most of my memories are starting to fleet and get a little hazy, but that's one I'll never forget. Thank you for being so open and personal.

    I did not really have a good Childhood memory, but the thing I do remember is my little dog Duke he helped me when I was younger he was my buddy, he loved to play with his toy ball, that was his favorite toy. He helped me block out all the negative in my life at the time He was my second dog I had ever know. When I first got him he would play with my cat angel, like play wrestle she would go along with it to, Duke was such a good dog, I remember when he would get so protective over me like if I ha the blanket over my head he would try to pull it off, or if I was crying he would comfort me with his love. He was my best friend. He ended up getting hit by a car when I was 12 years old, I just remember feeling so hurt, like I had lost someone who meant so much to me. I loved him, he was the best thing I had in my childhood.

    Thank you for making this video, it made me think of my grandmother, especially since her death anniversary is coming up. One of my favourite childhood memories is of visiting the UK (I live in Singapore) in the summer and crawling around and searching for the perfect blade of grass with my grandmother in her garden to compliment the little daisy and buttercup bouquet I put together. It may not sound very exciting, but it's a special memory of my grandmother, one that always makes me smile :)
