    It is so sad you had to leave your mom. She is an absolute sweetheart, loved by many of us. You are blessed with her as a mom. Home is where the heart is, and your heart is in Venice. I understand.... You have such wonderful friends in Germany and in LA. That makes you doubly blessed! Welcome home GIV. Enjoy!

    Your mom hesitated before smiling, and I could see the sadness behind her eyes. But she loves you and knows you have to live your own life. Hopefully Gogo and your other German friends will stop by every now and then to make sure she's doing okay. Happy Belated Birthday, fellow Aquarian! The Thai food looked awesome.

    I think you’re Mom’s plan to set up base at her home in Germany is a awesome idea! I loved the Germany videos and literally couldn’t wait for the next vid. I think everyone’s been to the USA and venice might be in your blood, but not everyones cup of tea, but the beautiful Germany and Europe with all its rich history is just mind blowing beautiful. Maybe take a year with you mom and do some close to home Europe trips. That will be great content. You are lucky enough to still have a healthy sweet mother. Cherish those memories and spend as much time as you can with that wonderful lady.

      I agree, he should be with his mom at this point in her life. It doesn't look like there is that much left unfortunately. She needs someone to care for her. I was in this situation once and fortunately I did the right thing so I have not so many regrets. You have to be there for your parents no matter what the situation was like when you were younger, people change, we are all adults, you only get one set of parents. You only go around once in this world.

      @@EnthusiastCarHangar read my comment… I didn’t say forever. He can still create you tube videos in Germany and Europe and can still earn from you tube and that’s a big percentage of what he does for a living. In case you don’t know, you get money for enough views on you tube. His sweet Mom offered rent free accommodation, so that’s minimal expenses. Think before you comment. Have you even watched his entire video?

      @@EnthusiastCarHangar Ok no worries. I don’t think you really follow the GIV otherwise you will know pretty much all there is to know about the GIV. He is a open book and that is what I like about the GIV. At the end it is a personal choice, same with your situation. I understand where you are coming from and your situation. Each person’s situation is different and I feel for you and your situation. I have worked in London for 5 years and by that time my dear Granny was getting on in age and I wanted to spend time with her and the same with some of her other grandkids. One returned from Australia untill her death and returned. After that I spent almost 10 years in US and just decided it was time to return to Cape Town because my own mother wasn’t getting any younger and my dad passed away when I was 18. So I understand not everyone has the ways and means to return to where ever and support themselves financially and the reason for leaving in the 1st place migh have been for better work opportunities. Believe me , I know. I am from South Africa and and with affirmative action most white South Africans look for a life and employment abroad. I don’t think the GIV will ever leave LA, that city runs through his vains. I think he has the way’s and means to return to Germany for a year or even longer. I hope you all the best and that you yourself might find the means to return for extended period to spend with your mother. If you don’t we all understand and wish you the best of luck with your life in the US. Take care @Enthusiast Car Hanger

    Man... GIV good to see you still thriving. Me and my mother(who I cared for around the clock) started watching your videos when you had under 35k subscriber's.. we watched you regularly.. daily.. multiple videos a day till we were up to date. Then we couldn't wait for you to drop a new video so we can check it out.. get the inside scoop on what's going on in Venice and get in some laughs with you. Unfortunately she passed away at home on Christmas eve 2021 and since then I have not been able to watch your videos.. it's just isn't the same without her. Somehow, someway this video was recommended to me today and for that I am thankful. From one man to another I'll admit I shed a few tears while typing this and must say I give you MAJOR props for spending time with your mother. Much respect man. One Love Mike!

    It's great to see you so happy, Mike. That you had a great adventure with your Mom and your German friends. To see how happy your American friends and the people in Venice are to see you is just proof of how you are loved so much. Thank you Mike, so glad you are back safely to your American home.
    We love you buddy

    Keeps up the good content man. Lovely to see how much you care about your mum. It's also good to see your interactions with your mates and that Gogo is doing well.
