Hey man, This video resonated with me extremely heavy. I run D1 at ucla and my sophomore year, my father died from stage 4 colon cancer. It’s something that made me question everything for a while, but after some time I realized that loss truly is a blessing knowing Ive been able to love. Running used to be the limiting factor but now it’s what keeps me going. Every race is for him. I have a lot of respect for you making vulnerable videos like this. Keep it up man 🤙
My mom died of stage 4 colon cancer last yr at age of 15, running truly is therapy and helps by all means, glad to see that there are ppl out there that have had similar losses and can strive through it.
Hey, I haven't had a close family member like yours die, but do now that there's a book out there in wich something like this is written: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30. That book is the
Yaseen I hurt for you. I am a 15 year old runner that you have inspired to pursue my dreams and have a fun time doing it. My mother passed away in her sleep on February 1st 2023 because her heart just stopped.. it really sucks when there's no major reason. It was hard to accept it, it felt like a dream, but then I started to realize and appreciate that it's about what shes done for me and she was the one who encouraged me to run and this XC season in my freshman year our team almost made it to state for boys and girls and I was only the 8th runner for boys so I am very motivated for track and next XC season but it hurts when you don't have your biggest fan.
I just learned that you were running the Olymics this summer representing Sudan, which led me to this video. Nothing more powerful than running for a purpose. RUN WITH PURPOSE. I am rooting for you Yaseen! Long live Sudan. Allah yer7am abook. Inna li Allah w inna elayhi raj3oon.
I’ve been running for over 8 years now, and over time I’ve gone from a 30 minute 5k to currently being mid 15:00s. My grandfather always was my biggest fan, always coming to races and telling me how he was so inspired by me and so proud. When he had a stroke and became incredibly depressed and unhappy, he would still tell me that watching me run and improve was one of the few things that still made him happy in life. I’ve never really known what’s motivated me at my core, but for the past year ish of my career he was my biggest motivator in my running. He passed away a month ago, and my whole family was devastated. Everyone is still struggling to cope with it, and every time I go running I wonder if he’s watching me, and hope he’s still enjoying the view as much as he always said he did
Thanks for making this Yaseen and for being so vulnerable with your feelings. I lost a big brother in Ahmed but his support for the family and his loved ones will never be forgotten.
Your Dad was really a unique guy, you guys don’t know how much he loves all of you , his kids,you guys were his precious assets, that what he tells me, that his real investment is his four kids.we all loved him , he was down to earth, always smiling , you look like him, the apple will never fall far from the tree We all miss him We are always proud of you Champ, Thank you for sharing Love you
Hey Yaseen, awesome video. I lost my dad this past Octobr from a 6 1/2 year long battle with stage 4 colon cancer, I raced xc states 9 days later. During his treatment, I'd think of him while I ran, and how my suffering wouldn't even come close to what he was going through, and that kept me going. He would always ask me about my races and call me crazy every time I went for a long run, and those moments stay with you. I like to keep little mementos of his with me, especially when I race. It won't replace the physical presence a father gives, but it comforts me that a little piece of him can watch me try my best, and it can help me imagine conversations with him. You've been a huge inspiration to me throughout my hs running career, and will continue to be as I continue my career in college. All the best to you and your family, and thank you.
Yaseen Habibi, this video hit home. My best friend was murdered when we were kids and I never have really had closure about it. I think this video is what will start my journey then. Allah yarhamu Baba Ahmed. Your voice is developing and distinguishing itself from many other content creator, through this act of vulnerability.
What a beautiful tribute Yasooni thank you for being so vulnerable. I remember Ahmed at the randomest of times and it takes me a second to remember he’s no longer with us. Then I pray for him and always end with “mushtageen”. He was loved by so many. Allah yir7amak ya Ahmed Izzeldin.
I feel bad. I yell at my dad all the time and don’t let him come to my races because it stresses me out. I don’t know what to do. This video made me realize he could die at any time. I don’t want to realize how much he does for me after he is gone. Thanks for sharing such a deep story.
Thanks Yaseen. My grandfather passed away today and I’ve been looking for answers all day. I run at a college far from home and I’ve continued to go back and forth about my decision to chase my dream so far away. This message helped. Thank you for sharing your personal story to help me get through my personal story.
Dang man, I'm sorry to hear this. My condolences to you. Since you asked about our stories: I recently lost my grandma just before Christmas, she wasn't doing well with cancer, and we wanted to see her because we didn't know how much time she had left. We live ~12 hours away (driving) so we made the drive up there. We got there 6am, tired but excited to see her. She had passed the day before, but our family up there didn't tell us because it was better for us not to know. Seeing her so peaceful, but it was hard.
Yaseen. I watched this video a couple of months ago. I watched it later again with my daughters. We've been praying that you win a medal since then. This morning I woke up 5:30 am NZ time to watch you, Ziad Saleem and Rana Hani carrying Sudan's flag. Go boy! Make your father proud. It's not about the medal. It's about you being able to represent Sudan on the world stage. Alla ma3ak, son! ❤
Hey man, sorry for your loss. This video resonated with me heavy. I signed up to run for my junior high cross country team in 8th grade. My dad took me to my first ever cross country meet which led me to falling in love with running. A few months later in January, he passed away due to cancer. I was so angry & upset to lose a role model & my father. But loss is a part of life. It’s okay to feel any emotion about your dad’s loss. It’s okay to be not okay. Sending my prayers & condolences to you & your family
I have always felt alone in my experience losing my dad at 15 and for the first 4 years I was doing extremely well, or so I thought. In fact I was in denial and when I went to college and moved away and enlarged my social circle everything hit me all at once. I now have a thyroid disease and currently on antidepressants because the symptoms would not go away and I could not sleep at night. I ironically picked up running. I want to meet him with him being proud of me as I did not have the chance to do that while he was alive.
This was a beautiful video. Thank you Yaseen for making it. I read a quote once that said, “what is grief, if not love persevering?” And I think it captures a little part of what we go through during tumultuous times like these. It really puts into perspective the fragility and true beauty of our living experience. Thank you once again for sharing this very personal story.
Hey Yaseen, I am super sorry to hear you lost your father. My dad actually died yesterday. I wasn’t close to him because he and my mother got divorced when I was about 10 and ever since he has not been a big part of my life. In the past 2 years I have seen him only 5 times. I did get to see him at Christmas and got a chance to hug him and that will sit with me. Stay strong Yaseen.
I’m so sorry for your loss. this video was beautifully well done. I hope you always strive through your father’s teachings and love. You are an inspiration to thousands ❤
He will be with you in your heart always Yaseen, he loved you infinitely and was so proud of you. I know as you continue through life growing into the man you will become he will remain proud of the son he's raised. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, i'm sorry for your loss.
No grief story to share; I mourn for your loss Yaseen, as a long time fan this loss hit hard even as an outsider. Your videos are incredible man, truly one of a kind and I mean it, the production quality makes every one of your fans feel your highs and lows deeply. Wish all the best for you, Inshallah you will find peace and success. 🙏
i’m 16 now but i lost my 16 year old sister 2/20/22 almost 2 years ago due to a tragic accident where she got hit by a car on the side of the road with a friend the driver blacked out on Viagra so he’s free since a it’s not a classified drug i’m still not doing well I think about her everyday and my mother is like a new person her face I don’t even recognize but she’s getting better slowly but i’m focusing on myself and doing the best to better myself mentally and physically
You popped up on my recommended just as i’m beginning my college athletics career-aka just when I needed to see this. Thanks for the words of wisdom, thank you for being vulnerable, and thank you for sharing your story!!!
this is beautiful and i am sobing. Lost my mom jan 6th of 2022, I was almost 22. Running was and will always be an outlet that keeps me going. Thank you for this, Yassen.
We love you and we appreciate you Yaseen. Keep putting your most authentic self into everything you do and there's no limit to what you can achieve. God bless.
The cool, wise uncle that had me saved as “Ahmed My Love ❤️.” He showed his nieces and nephews all the love in the world. He had the jokes, the charisma, and could make the best French toast in the world. Can’t wait to play soccer with him in the next life inshAllah
I feel you there, I lost my best friend at 16 (3 years ago in June) and Its been hard but Ive pulled through to continue running for him and living my life the way he would of wanted me to.
Your dad and mam are great human beings. I visited Austin and I had the chance to meet your father through shared friends. Without a doubt he is the best human I have met. Very decent, very polite, very proud of his heritage and very proud of his family. He was talking about a long journey next morning traveling to one of your race competition. We are very proud of you Yaseen. I’m sure you will continue the legacy of Ahmed.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost both parents relatvely young. They were good people, kind and loving. Now 15 years later I still miss them but I couldn't wish for more as I am very happy and lucky they were my parents.
lost my dad when i was 12 now 18.I live and put everything i got in tank for him.He was awesome dad.I gonna be just like him if i have kids.Great video sir.some days are worse then others.There are no stages of grief either
such a great video. took me 3 tries to get through the video. I feel so blessed to have so many great memories with him. love you so much and so proud of you for making this 🤍
Yaseen, First of all, my thoughts, prayers and condolences go to you, your family and friends on the loss of your father. When I saw the caption, my first thought; Oh No ! When you said how times you cried 😢😢😢 I started crying myself. I know the pain you are going through. I lost my mother when I was 12 years old some 56 years ago. Do I still miss her, yes, I do. My uncle who took me in after my mom passed, installed values in me that helped me become whom and where I am today. A person should be by what kind person they are. Your dad is very proud of you in the person you are in mind and spirit . I enjoy watching your videos a big part of which is how you keep it real in everything. Thank you, and take care
Thank you for watching Maurice! I’m glad it made you feel something ❤️

Appreciate you sharing this, cancer sucks and it impacts many people I hold close so I feel for you. Remember that God loves each and every one of us and can be a comfort in dark times
keep your head up king. going through these heartbreaking moments hurts more than ever but it can and it will make you stronger. rest in paradise to the goat. I am truly sorry for your loss
I am so sorry about your loss! It reminded me of my loss… my dad had an ongoing heart issue so we went through several close calls over the years, but losing him was so profound… Thank you for sharing this very personal and touching story…
Bro you’re an amazing man, the way you just body any and all adversity. You’re a special man I’m tellin you. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💙 head up king 🙏🏽
hey i am terrible sorry to hear that i could never imagine the reality of living without one of my family members. i cry just thinking about it, you are very strong and encouraging. thank you for making this video. keep up the good work and praying for a good track season. i will be praying for you and your family. i am with you and so is christ, never forget that he loves you so much.
Yea I’ve been in the same boat with my step dad that passed in 2021 my first xc season but haven’t had the same connection and emotions with the loss cause he wasn’t with us long!! He passed 4 months after marrying my mom 😕 which hurt her deeply cause it was to early. He was the best supporter for my races even tho he was there for only 2 telling me I could do it if I have faith!!! I still keep that word with me today every race and throughout my training, he was the best dad while he was there!! Btw I glad ur doing better and still doing the things u love!! Sorry about my terrible grammar I need to fix it lol
Hey yaseen, I’m a d1 runner and my dad passed away my sophomore year of college. It’s been almost a year and has been incredibly tough to move forward but running has helped and also been the hardest. My dad was a devout Muslim so I’m sure we had very similar experiences. I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. It gets better!
Thank you for making this it hit really hard as my arab grandfather and uncle died a few years ago and hearing ur fathers voice mails and everything made me think abt them and how i shouldve spent more time with them. Sorry for your loss.
My great grandma (who I was very close to and my mom was even closer to) passed away exactly 1 year before your dad. She had a stroke on Christmas Day 2021 and we knew she didn’t have a lot of time left so we were planning to drive down to see her one last time. As we loaded up the car and were about to get on the road we got the call that she had passed. One thing that stuck with me is a teacher of mine said, “you maybe only see your grandparents twice a year and let’s say they have 5-10 years left, that’s 10-20 times you get to see them. But we don’t think like that.” Although I didn’t get to see her one more time I was so grateful I got to see her a few months prior when she came to watch me race a Turkey Trot. She made me run through the finish line a second time because she didn’t get a picture and she wanted to show her friends😂I’m very grateful for that to be my last memory of her and for all the memories and lessons she gave me❤️
Hey man, hope you're doing good. As a young person who hasn't ever lost a significantly close relative or friend, I want to THANK YOU for this piece of art. Losing my beloved ones is one of very few real fears I have in life. This video, unfortunately, proves to me that people create the greatest things in their darkest times - it really hits hard emotionally. Thank you for reminding us to not take life for granted and appreciate the time we get to spend with our most important ones. Cheers from Poland mate :)
I'm sorry for this man. I can relate to at least the fear of this seemingly inevitable situation in my own life, as my father continues to age more and more as the years go by. It's a very difficult thing to watch...and I often think about how I'm going to be able to cope with the loss of my dad...my mom...etc. I don't know how you actually feel..but, I can only imagine it's just a very difficult situation...something that you can't simply "get over". I guess the only thing you can do is to keep moving forward literally and figuratively--keep running and keep inspiring others to run. I will do the same with you. --Peter
I don't know how to put this into the best of words but we lived the same different life. like you I also lost my dad difference I lost him at the age of 8 but we both took up running I took it up in high school and your a Indian man and I'm just some white dude from a small town, both of our dads dying took a great impact on both of our families. for me instead of people telling me how much they loved him they told me I needed to man up as the oldest brother and "be the man of the house" when I wasn't ready I mean how could I be I was 8 years but like you I would cry a lot especially when kids started to bully me and my twin brother. I always wonder if my dad is proud of the man I've become without any of his teaching and essentially teaching myself how to be a man and reinventing myself so many times. when I first found out that he died I don't even remember crying I remember being sad but not really understanding what it meant at the time but it wasn't until a day or so later that I found my mom laying on her bed and crying and when I waled over and put my hand on her back she started to cry harder and screamed how she missed my dad seance that day I have been trying to take on as much of my moms stress as I can but with no support system it bubbles over and I either fall into great episodes of depression or explosions of anger that hurt the relationships I have worked so hard to build. making friend's was never easy, talking to people was and still is hard, I never found a healthy way to cope other than running but even now running isn't a way to cope it is something I must do to keep myself alive mentally more than physically and like you I always wanted to be faster that is all I wanted partially because I wanted to be liked and thought being fast would do that for me but I would give up running, singing, and so many other things to have my dad back
I'm not an athlete, I'm into photography/videography but somehow came across this video. I grew up with a single mother and 2 siblings, and sadly my older brother and mother passed away my sophomore year of high school within the same year and I'm 28 now. I don't fully understand what you're going through but I have a better idea than most and I'm so sorry. Just know that whenever you're training and with everything else he will always be by your side. It's also okay to not be okay at times.
@yaseen Abdalla we have such similar lives, sorry for your loss soon I will be in your shoes walking a different route soon my best wishes to you and your family ❤
Hey Yaseen, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never really had a close family loss like you have, but I do know it must be extremely horrible. I cry some times when a movie character dies, so I don't what to know how I'd feel if I were you. I would be extremely sad if I were you, but I do know that what would keep me going strong is my faith in Jesus. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
(2:155) We shall certainly test you by afflicting you with fear, hunger, loss of properties and lives and fruits. Give glad tidings, then, to those who remain patient; (2:156) those who when any affliction smites them, they say: “Verily, we belong to Allah, and it is to Him that we are destined to return.” (2:157) Upon them will be the blessings and mercy of their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided.

I’m glad you learned something so important from it. Thank you for the kind words ❤️
I’m glad you’re finding a way to deal with it! Running has helped me too.
Hey, I haven't had a close family member like yours die, but do now that there's a book out there in wich something like this is written: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

I agree. I’m glad you made a positive decision from your loss! I hope you do big things man!
“I used to think I would give up anything to run faster, but I would give up running in a heartbeat to have my dad back”
I just learned that you were running the Olymics this summer representing Sudan, which led me to this video. Nothing more powerful than running for a purpose. RUN WITH PURPOSE. I am rooting for you Yaseen! Long live Sudan. Allah yer7am abook. Inna li Allah w inna elayhi raj3oon.

Thank you for watching ❤️❤️ it won’t be forgotten
So sorry for your loss man. What a beautiful way to pay respects to your father

@@yaseenabdalla8713 Thank you man and of course! May God bless you.

Thank you for the kind words ❤️
As a son and as a father, this is a great reminder of how important our relationships are. Thank you for sharing this.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
What a beautiful tribute Yasooni thank you for being so vulnerable. I remember Ahmed at the randomest of times and it takes me a second to remember he’s no longer with us. Then I pray for him and always end with “mushtageen”. He was loved by so many. Allah yir7amak ya Ahmed Izzeldin.
Teared up watching this brother. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
I feel bad. I yell at my dad all the time and don’t let him come to my races because it stresses me out. I don’t know what to do. This video made me realize he could die at any time. I don’t want to realize how much he does for me after he is gone. Thanks for sharing such a deep story.
Thank you! The stress isn’t either of yalls fault I know the feeling, I was the same way.
Thanks Yaseen. My grandfather passed away today and I’ve been looking for answers all day. I run at a college far from home and I’ve continued to go back and forth about my decision to chase my dream so far away. This message helped. Thank you for sharing your personal story to help me get through my personal story.
I’m glad you got something from it ❤️ hope you figure out what else you need.

Thank you! I appreciate it.
He will be with you in your heart always Yaseen, he loved you infinitely and was so proud of you. I know as you continue through life growing into the man you will become he will remain proud of the son he's raised. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, i'm sorry for your loss.
I appreciate that!
May Allah grant him Jennah inshallah 🙏🏽

No grief story to share; I mourn for your loss Yaseen, as a long time fan this loss hit hard even as an outsider.

You popped up on my recommended just as i’m beginning my college athletics career-aka just when I needed to see this. Thanks for the words of wisdom, thank you for being vulnerable, and thank you for sharing your story!!!
Thanks for watching! Good luck it’ll fly by!
this is beautiful and i am sobing. Lost my mom jan 6th of 2022, I was almost 22. Running was and will always be an outlet that keeps me going. Thank you for this, Yassen.
Thank you!
We love you and we appreciate you Yaseen. Keep putting your most authentic self into everything you do and there's no limit to what you can achieve. God bless.
Thank you! I’ll try!
The cool, wise uncle that had me saved as “Ahmed My Love ❤️.” He showed his nieces and nephews all the love in the world. He had the jokes, the charisma, and could make the best French toast in the world. Can’t wait to play soccer with him in the next life inshAllah
Love you Ahmed!
Love you too Yaseen!
I feel you there, I lost my best friend at 16 (3 years ago in June) and Its been hard but Ive pulled through to continue running for him and living my life the way he would of wanted me to.
You’re making him proud every day!
Thank you for telling his story Yaseen. This was a beautiful video, may he rest in peace❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
Your dad and mam are great human beings. I visited Austin and I had the chance to meet your father through shared friends. Without a doubt he is the best human I have met. Very decent, very polite, very proud of his heritage and very proud of his family. He was talking about a long journey next morning traveling to one of your race competition. We are very proud of you Yaseen. I’m sure you will continue the legacy of Ahmed.
thank you for the kind words ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost both parents relatvely young. They were good people, kind and loving. Now 15 years later I still miss them but I couldn't wish for more as I am very happy and lucky they were my parents.
I agree with that perspective! I’ll miss him forever!
You put your emotions into words so well, you definitely have a talent for writing. Beautiful video
thank you!
So sorry for your loss, Yaseen. Praying for you and your family
Thank you!
stay strong Yaseen your father will live on through the memories you share together.
Thank you. I appreciate the words.
lost my dad when i was 12 now 18.I live and put everything i got in tank for him.He was awesome dad.I gonna be just like him if i have kids.Great video sir.some days are worse then others.There are no stages of grief either
I'm sorry man I completely agree. You were the age my youngest brother was.
All love ❤ Praying for you and your family's healing.
I lost my great-grandmother a few years ago and this video hit home.
Hope you’ve gotten closure ❤️
such a great video. took me 3 tries to get through the video. I feel so blessed to have so many great memories with him. love you so much and so proud of you for making this 🤍
Thanks Haneen ☺️ I appreciate you watching
Yaseen,
First of all, my thoughts, prayers and condolences go to you, your family and friends on the loss of your father. When I saw the caption, my first thought; Oh No ! When you said how times you cried 😢😢😢 I started crying myself. I know the pain you are going through. I lost my mother when I was 12 years old some 56 years ago. Do I still miss her, yes, I do. My uncle who took me in after my mom passed, installed values in me that helped me become whom and where I am today. A person should be by what kind person they are. Your dad is very proud of you in the person you are in mind and spirit . I enjoy watching your videos a big part of which is how you keep it real in everything. Thank you, and take care
Thank you for watching Maurice! I’m glad it made you feel something ❤️
What a beautiful tribute Yasooni thank you for being so vulnerable. I remember Ahmed at the randomest of times and it takes me a second to remember he’s no longer with us. Then I pray for him and always end with “mushtageen”. He was loved by so gh many. Allah yir7amak ya Ahmed Izzeldin.
Thank you Sarra!
you are so gifted and wise. but there is a cost for such wisdom at such a young age. keep your head up.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this story❤️🕊️
what a beautiful tribute. I'm so sorry for your loss❤
Thank you for watching it! 🫶
i’m sorry for your loss yaseen prayers to you and your family🙏
Thank you man
Appreciate you sharing this, cancer sucks and it impacts many people I hold close so I feel for you. Remember that God loves each and every one of us and can be a comfort in dark times
Thank you for commenting! Actually the cancer was my uncle a while ago. My dad died differently.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. May Allah grant your father highest level of paradise.
Thank you! Inshallah.
This is your most powerful video EVER & it reminded me of when my dad died on Christmas Eve in 2020
Thank you Rubis! I hope you’re dealing with it well ❤️.
My father left when I was 5. Never came back. Enjoy the pain for the loss of your father. That pain is caused by love. That love will heal you.
Thank you! I agree. I’m sorry that happened to you!
keep your head up king. going through these heartbreaking moments hurts more than ever but it can and it will make you stronger. rest in paradise to the goat. I am truly sorry for your loss
I agree! Thanks!
Beautiful video Yaseen !
I am so sorry about your loss! It reminded me of my loss… my dad had an ongoing heart issue so we went through several close calls over the years, but losing him was so profound…
Thank you for sharing this very personal and touching story…
Thank you for watching! I hope you got closure before he passed on!
Yes, luckily we were able to say our final words… ❤️
Bro you’re an amazing man, the way you just body any and all adversity. You’re a special man I’m tellin you. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💙 head up king 🙏🏽
Thanks man
I appreciate it
hey i am terrible sorry to hear that i could never imagine the reality of living without one of my family members. i cry just thinking about it, you are very strong and encouraging. thank you for making this video. keep up the good work and praying for a good track season. i will be praying for you and your family. i am with you and so is christ, never forget that he loves you so much.
Thank you for watching!
Yea I’ve been in the same boat with my step dad that passed in 2021 my first xc season but haven’t had the same connection and emotions with the loss cause he wasn’t with us long!! He passed 4 months after marrying my mom 😕 which hurt her deeply cause it was to early. He was the best supporter for my races even tho he was there for only 2 telling me I could do it if I have faith!!! I still keep that word with me today every race and throughout my training, he was the best dad while he was there!! Btw I glad ur doing better and still doing the things u love!! Sorry about my terrible grammar I need to fix it lol
Thank you for sharing. I hope your mom is doing better now.
Hey yaseen, I’m a d1 runner and my dad passed away my sophomore year of college. It’s been almost a year and has been incredibly tough to move forward but running has helped and also been the hardest. My dad was a devout Muslim so I’m sure we had very similar experiences. I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. It gets better!
Thank you! Hope you’re doing better now
Thank you for making this it hit really hard as my arab grandfather and uncle died a few years ago and hearing ur fathers voice mails and everything made me think abt them and how i shouldve spent more time with them. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you liked it and I’m sorry for your loss too ❤️.
This video is a piece of art. Thanks Yaseen ❤️
Thank you!
Sorry for your loss man 🙏 hope you and your family are doing well
Thank you! Each day is better
sorry for your loss, best wishes to you and your family
Thank you!
My great grandma (who I was very close to and my mom was even closer to) passed away exactly 1 year before your dad. She had a stroke on Christmas Day 2021 and we knew she didn’t have a lot of time left so we were planning to drive down to see her one last time. As we loaded up the car and were about to get on the road we got the call that she had passed. One thing that stuck with me is a teacher of mine said, “you maybe only see your grandparents twice a year and let’s say they have 5-10 years left, that’s 10-20 times you get to see them. But we don’t think like that.” Although I didn’t get to see her one more time I was so grateful I got to see her a few months prior when she came to watch me race a Turkey Trot. She made me run through the finish line a second time because she didn’t get a picture and she wanted to show her friends😂I’m very grateful for that to be my last memory of her and for all the memories and lessons she gave me❤️
I’m glad you look on the bright side! It’s a special skill. She’s with you always.
I have to add, I lost my father and two brothers and I know how hard it is.
Hey man, hope you're doing good.
As a young person who hasn't ever lost a significantly close relative or friend, I want to THANK YOU for this piece of art. Losing my beloved ones is one of very few real fears I have in life. This video, unfortunately, proves to me that people create the greatest things in their darkest times - it really hits hard emotionally.
Thank you for reminding us to not take life for granted and appreciate the time we get to spend with our most important ones.
Cheers from Poland mate :)
Thank you for watching! It means a lot!
I'm sorry for this man. I can relate to at least the fear of this seemingly inevitable situation in my own life, as my father continues to age more and more as the years go by. It's a very difficult thing to watch...and I often think about how I'm going to be able to cope with the loss of my dad...my mom...etc.
I don't know how you actually feel..but, I can only imagine it's just a very difficult situation...something that you can't simply "get over". I guess the only thing you can do is to keep moving forward literally and figuratively--keep running and keep inspiring others to run. I will do the same with you. --Peter
Thank you! I appreciate the words
Great video man, resonated with so much of that - my dad passed a few months ago. New sub for sure
Thanks and welcome!
I don't know how to put this into the best of words but we lived the same different life. like you I also lost my dad difference I lost him at the age of 8 but we both took up running I took it up in high school and your a Indian man and I'm just some white dude from a small town, both of our dads dying took a great impact on both of our families. for me instead of people telling me how much they loved him they told me I needed to man up as the oldest brother and "be the man of the house" when I wasn't ready I mean how could I be I was 8 years but like you I would cry a lot especially when kids started to bully me and my twin brother. I always wonder if my dad is proud of the man I've become without any of his teaching and essentially teaching myself how to be a man and reinventing myself so many times. when I first found out that he died I don't even remember crying I remember being sad but not really understanding what it meant at the time but it wasn't until a day or so later that I found my mom laying on her bed and crying and when I waled over and put my hand on her back she started to cry harder and screamed how she missed my dad seance that day I have been trying to take on as much of my moms stress as I can but with no support system it bubbles over and I either fall into great episodes of depression or explosions of anger that hurt the relationships I have worked so hard to build. making friend's was never easy, talking to people was and still is hard, I never found a healthy way to cope other than running but even now running isn't a way to cope it is something I must do to keep myself alive mentally more than physically and like you I always wanted to be faster that is all I wanted partially because I wanted to be liked and thought being fast would do that for me but I would give up running, singing, and so many other things to have my dad back
I think you should find an outlet. The videos help me a lot. Running is more like an escape than a good release.
I'm not an athlete, I'm into photography/videography but somehow came across this video. I grew up with a single mother and 2 siblings, and sadly my older brother and mother passed away my sophomore year of high school within the same year and I'm 28 now. I don't fully understand what you're going through but I have a better idea than most and I'm so sorry. Just know that whenever you're training and with everything else he will always be by your side. It's also okay to not be okay at times.
Thank you! I hope you’re doing well.
You have a 190 heart rate when a life altering event occurs. I average 190 on my easy runs, we are not the same.
Underated comment
Bro this isn’t joking matter

Super Powerful Yaseen❤️❤️ your fans care about you brother
Thank you for watching ❤️ I’m glad you liked it
Hey Yaseen, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never really had a close family loss like you have, but I do know it must be extremely horrible. I cry some times when a movie character dies, so I don't what to know how I'd feel if I were you. I would be extremely sad if I were you, but I do know that what would keep me going strong is my faith in Jesus. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Thank you!
Rest in piece
Sorry for your loss bro 🙏, great video

stay strong brobro.
(2:155) We shall certainly test you by afflicting you with fear, hunger, loss of properties and lives and fruits. Give glad tidings, then, to those who remain patient; (2:156) those who when any affliction smites them, they say: “Verily, we belong to Allah, and it is to Him that we are destined to return.” (2:157) Upon them will be the blessings and mercy of their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided.
