Videos like this is why KZfaq is so great. I have the privilege of hearing and seeing people I never knew existed on this earth before. Sorry for your loss, I care.

My condolences , your nana was a “back in the days vlogger / plogger, so i guess it runs in the blood

Buys Tesla, doesn't put it in the thumbnail . Power move

My grandpa has the same first and last name as me. He passed away this year on March 21, 2018 which was on my birthday. I dont really know where im going with this but when I was looking at the tombstone, it was like looking at my tombstone. Don't take your life for granted, every minute counts and most of all be with the people you love. That quote is kind of cheesy, I know, but it's true.

The best videos aren't always the ones where you're doing epic things and got slick editing. Sometimes it's the simple ones like this. Amazing story, thanks for sharing it with us buddy.

While I know this is a sad story... Living in Western Australia, I did chuckle at the "6 hours is a long drive" part. Over Christmas I drove 36 hours to visit my Grandmother... and only passed through 4 "towns" (only towns in the loosest sense of the definition). I loved the sentiment and the realness of this video Casey, it's a side we don't always see of you, so sorry for your loss.

Such a special person. And she documented every day of her life, just as you do. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree RIP

"I've got a full tank of battery" haha this cracked me up

So much respect that you decided not to vlog the weekend to just be present. Your grandmother sounds like an incredible women. Keeping a daily journal - a love for documenting must run in your family!

Sounds like your grandma was amazing! Salute to her!! Also it seems as though your grandmother was the original daily "vlogger" with her daily journal entries...now we know where you get it from.

We just lost our grandmother recently as well. Love to you and your family, and thanks for sharing this story. We've shared some of our grandmother's as well and have plans to share more somehow.

Casey thank you for sharing these Moments with us. My heart goes out to you and your family❤️🙏🏻

That was a super powerful video, thanks for sharing that Casey! I love when people have celebrations of life rather than funerals.

Your going through a lot, just wanna say greatest KZfaq of all time is you

1:09 theres a bong on the bedhead, good work Casey

Thank you for sharing this! I think it pays tribute to your grandmother's memory and is a beautiful way to honor her life. As someone who has lost wonderful and loving grandparents, I can really relate. As bittersweet as it is to say goodbye, being thankful for the love they have brought in to the world can be helpful in dealing with the loss. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you Casey for sharing your grandmas story with us. She seems to be a beautiful lady. God rest her soul.

Full tank of battery lol

Wow Casey, this was just what I needed to put things into perspective for me, my grandparents went through the same kind of thing and my grandpa is even from Rutherford which was a cool lil coincidence at the end, but this really made me think about them and how I will cherish them forever. thank you it was so beautifully done.

How sweet was your Nana? I am 67 years old. I wrote a journal for 20 years that my daughter Erin can go read in notebooks. And I am making her audio recordings of my current life and past events and stories that she can listen to when I am gone and when she can bring herself to listen to them. These things are important but in the end all we have is love ... and that is the most important thing we leave behind ...

1:16 that bong in Dans room! I see he's on the BEST pain medicine :D

"I got a full tank of battery... I had *A* food..." - Casey Neistat 2K18

Thank you, Casey. You and your video brought back a lot of good memories and great times spent with my grandparents.

She was a beautiful lady. She lived the definition of what I call a real Woman,Wife, Mother, Nanna. A person that make sacrifices and does without so others can have...unselfish! Beautiful Story Casey.🙂❤️😇

Wow Casey! Amazing job telling her story. Daily Vlog? Daily Journal entries from your Nana? I see the DNA link!

Casey you’re doing the same thing as your nana. You’re memories will forever live thru you’re amazing videos.

My deepest condolences Casey. Thank you for sharing these stories. Life is precious, we often have no clue what people have gone through and sacrificed for the family and children. Keeping a daily journal, that's incredible. Your Nanna was a powerful and strong woman. R.I.P. Sending you and your family love .

Really sorry for your loss Casey!!♥️

The fact that she documented an entire year of her life, day by day is incredible. Guess it runs in the family! I'm the only one in my family who does anything like that at all. Can't relate to any of my family in that regard.

I'm really sorry fro your loss man. but I'm really happy that your nana was able to pull the whole family together like that

This is definitely my favorite video to date. You’re seriously the best. Your nana was so blessed to have such a sweet family like yours ❤️

Casey that was amazing and very meaningful. Thank you for sharing that with us. It was so POWERFUL to hear that your dear nana had a daily journal, kinda like what you are doing in the last 5 years. Seeing and learning what our parents and grandparents had to deal with changes your perspective about lots of things in life and life in general. Thank you for the hours from now I'll think more and remember more about my grandparents. ❣

This was a touching homage to your grandmother. Nicely done as usual Casey. (Car goals by the way)

Great video Casey. I think you shouldn't feel so shy or awkward about sharing things like this. You do it very well and I know we appreciate it because so many of us can relate.

Wow Casey, this really hit home for me. From the pictures in those albums to the journal entries, your Grandmother seems like an amazing person. Your celebration with family really reminded me of the kind I had with mine when my Grandmother passed. I'm sure this is exactly what she would have wanted, everyone in the family gathered to enjoy the memories. Thanks for sharing this with us, it's really touching.

Such a great episode Casey! I love the story-telling format!

My Dad was a Holocaust survivor and his stories were abundant. Older people need to be respected for their lives and they rarely are. Here is to Nanna!

There is an amazing story behind every human being you meet.

Love this video! So glad that you enjoyed your time with your family! I find it interesting that your nana documented so much of her life in her own way. Maybe she's where you get the love of documenting so much of yours from.

First Casey vid I have watched in a long time and what a DOOZY! This has me almost tearing up! Lovely tribute vid Casey. Thanks for sharing this with us

Casey, don't ever feel like you have to tell "happy stories" in your vlogs or that you have to keep it "upbeat." It's this sense of honesty and a sense of you as a person that keeps us coming back to your channel. Whether your vlogs are happy, sad, or anywhere in between, we love you. Keep up your good work.

At 62 I have no family pictures to look at, I threw them all away over the years. Dumb. Word of advice to the young, save everything, someday you will be glad you did.

This was really beautiful, I love how you have all these albums full of memories. Thank you for sharing this sad moment with us.

Another great video Casey! Very heart warming.

This was astonishing, because we see the nice cameras and the cool drones and equipment, but we also see the vulnerable side and the side that lived in a trailer, but has built such an amazing career by himself, independently.

Hi Casey, thank you so much to show this experience today. I been having a hard time the last few months. I’m a father of two loving boys 4 years and 2 months. And I myself been out of work due to my Sickle Cell Disease. So I been in and out of work all my life. And I been fighting to keep the bills paid and food for my family. And to hear the story about your grandma and family just gave the push to keep on fighting to get by. So thank you for sharing.

Amazing video, amazing family, amazing sentiment. Our great grandparents, grandparents, and parents each lived lives less privileged than our own in the hopes that their heirs would benefit. Your grandmother seemed to be an amazing person, and was one of many who paved the way for you to touch so many lives in such a positive manner. Much love from the Green Mountain State to you and your family.

for not being "good with this stuff" you really tugged the emotions! I just lost someone close and can relate. It's all about taking time to celebrate those loved ones and taking advantage of each day we have. Thanks Casey!

A journal entry of every day of your life… The original vlog’ It runs in the family :) It is beautiful to celebrate a life when it has been lived as fully as reasonably possible. Best wishes to your family.

Maybe a Tesla tech-tuesday?

Casey... thank you for sharing this. Always makes me (us) feel more connected to you when you share these intimate views into your heart. I respect you very much for sometimes setting the camera down and just letting family time be just family time. If you're ever in So. Cal in the "Inland Empire, " I'd like to meet you. That would be really awesome. Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss, but what a special way to spend time celebrating your Grandmother's life.

Wow thank you for sharing your intimate story with us. Your Nana was truly a special woman. Celebrating her life at the end was a great decision.

Priceless! Even though your Nana is gone she'll always live on in spirit as long as you remember what she gave you...her memories. God bless her. Now you too have begun your own blazing trail of blogging & more memories to pass on.

As always bro, your stories really get me in the feels!

I love this- being able to be able to look back on her journal entries from every single day!

Thank you for sharing ❤️ really got me thinking. Grateful for You’re perspective. Blessings to you and your family, And deepest condolences. She sounds like an exceptional woman 🤟🏼👵🏼

I think alot of people in our country today dont know the hard times that some of our early realatives faced (me included). Its hard to imagine but its good to try to remember and keep perspective. Also we need be aware that there are people THIS VERY MOMENT struggling and thats a place we need to not ignore. RIP Grandma. Thanks for sharing Casey.

Fantastic vlog Casey. This especially reasonated with me because my Grandma had so many stories to share and I felt like all that history and culture went when she did. I celebrate her life as much as I can and her influence drives me to become better and be better. Im thankful for you to put into words what I cant, but grateful that I can understand the sentiments. I would love to tell her story. Thank you for the share. -- From Japan, with love, Spencer.

Beautiful story.....thanks for sharing. I really like the fact that your grandma left resources for your family to get together like this.......great idea. Thanks, again. xo

I love those nostalgic/memorial videos Casey, always great to watch your work like this ! :))

Damm this hit me right in the feels

This whole episode just reminded me of a real life version of Elizabethtown, that film from Cameron Crowe about a celebration of a life that touched many others, a road trip, some great music, and lots of love. Thanks Casey a million times for sharing it with us.

You're always the best story-teller Casey. Really felt this, and loved it.

Wow! Story telling at it's best❤ Massive respect for not recording and being present at this time 👏 Journaling every day is so AWESOME and great for the family to look back at😃 Much LOVE ❤

*The happiest sad story I’ve ever heard!!😭*

I love a good Casey tale, your telling of it adds real depth and honour to clearly a great woman (your Nana) I'm sorry for your loss. thanks for sharing it with us

Ever since I have been subscribed, Casey has always made it clear that his goal was to have a message or take away from each of his videos. What an important message this was, Casey! It is so easy to look outward when there is a tragedy in life. Questions like "why me?' "what did I do to deserve this?' or "why now?" can be overwhelming in most cases. The grieving seems endless and unfair. But it is because of these tragedies and experiences that we are able to effect those around us with what we learn from them. This video is a physical representation of Casey using his experience to pass on a message; the message of the importance of family, the importance of living in the present moment, and above all the message of gratitude. Now and then it is so essential to stop where we are and be thankful for all of those who have helped us get to our present stage in life. Thank you so much for this message Casey! This is what creating is all about.

Such a beautiful story.. I feel so creatively inspired after this 🙌🏽 _what a way to honor your grandmother_

That journal... I only wish my nana had kept such a thing. I feel like it would be the most wonderful, sad, happy, and just amazing gift that anyone could leave their loved ones. It’s made me want to go back to journaling daily... I did it pretty consistently from 12-19, but then I stopped and now I’m 30. Perhaps it’s time to pick up my old journal and start back up again, except this time instead of it being just for me, I could use the extra motivation of leaving it as a gift for my loved ones someday. Great video, thank you for posting it.

That was a nice story! It was excellently told & your Nann’s life was respectfully honoured. Tbh I smacked that like button before you started your drive.

going through old photo albums brings me waves of nostalgia, and for that I have a hard going through my own.

I got a full tank of battery and a food. 😂😂😂 great video

This made me think of my grandmother and how awesome she was. Nana sounds like she was awesome, as well. Thanks for sharing some of these memories with us.

Your stories, regardless the theme or message, are always so well put together and though out, Casey. I’ve been watching you since 2015 and you’re my inspiration for getting into camera gear and photography. I hope all is well and thank you.

That made me cry...I just became a grandmother last week, and I can only hope that my Grandson has the wonderful memories and abundant love that you obviously shared with your Nana. Thanks, Casey.

So, the documentarist spirit literally runs through your veins. That makes sense

Casey, you didn't have to share this with us! But you did. And what a great Ood to your Grandmother it was! Beautiful way you put this together! Sending positive vibes your way PEACE LOVE & DREAM'S!🇨🇦 ✝💞🌐📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎼🎶🌏💙🌍💜🌎🌅☮💗☁🎬

This is the reason i subscribed to your channel. I love they way you express a story. Thanks casey

When you talk about your nana it makes me sad & it makes me happy. I had some similar experiences a few months ago when my grandma passed away. I learned so many things about her life. Some sad things & some happy things. I read her "joyful moments journal" that she kept. It was full of moments where she felt joyful. All of them involved our family. It inspired me to start my own joyful moments journal. I used to be really good at journaling everyday, but as I've gotten older it happens less & less. It makes me a little sad to hear your stories, because they remind me of my stories. I'm so glad you were able to celebrate her life with your family.

This isn’t a sad story - it’s a beautiful story of ‘life’. So important to take photos!

Thanks for sharing Casey. Anyone watching that has gone through a loss like this surely will appreciate.

Nice work Casey. Thanks for sharing. My grandmother just passed away last week, too. Flew to Michigan for the funeral on Friday and it was a bittersweet time to see all my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, etc. Oh. It was a happy time. She was 102 years old!

Great story, sounds like an even greater woman. Sorry for your loss. I know you've said how she was a big inspiration for you. I'm certain she loved watching your videos and would have enjoyed this warm tribute the most. Side note: one of the most enjoyable videos you've ever produced!

What a class woman she was Casey. My condolences. She is a reminder that there are so many more good people in this world than not. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Your grandma has inspired me to get back into journaling. Thanks for this Casey!

Nana FTW for the big family party - what a wonderful gift. Props to you, Casey. Loved every second.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It means so much. I lost my sister this past week in Queensland Australia. She will not be returning to USA. So this weekend we just passed pictures and stories along to those that loved her. I understand exactly how you feel. Tight hugs

You are a great friend and person!!!! Sorry for your loss!! Full tank of battery!!🤣😂

Very touching video Casey💕 Thanks for sharing this personal moment with us

It's such an amazing thing to see another family come together - as I have been so lucky to do as well, since the passing of my mother 10 years ago. I hope this get-together brings you many more meetings and time spent together as a family! Getting reacquainted is such an experience you never thought you could enjoy so much, and crave again when you were apart. Cheers!

I haven't cried for anything in years and I'm tearing up. Your grandma was an amazing woman. I needed to see this.

I’m sorry for your loss Casey, your Nana keeping her journal is like the way you keep a videos kinda like a journal you must get that from her 💜 that’s lovely xxx

Wow I never thought anyone could open up and tell a story like that. Stay strong Casey and keep doing best.

That was a very memorable and moving video. Thank you for sharing part of a very personal moment in your life. Prayers for you and your family.

I thought that was one of your most beautiful videos you have on here! It made me look hard and appreciate that my grandma is still alive. Thank you!

You're an amazing story-teller, man!!

I dunno how you do it Casey, but you managed to be such a big inspiration in my life. As a new KZfaqr i can’t help but thank you for being the amazing human being that you are. Keep doing you Casey. I try my hardest to make it on KZfaq because of what you taught me.

So sorry for your loss, it's great that she got you all together! I'm sure she was an amazing nana.

This is the reason why I follow you Casey, this is your story telling talent. Thank you.

You never what someone else is going thru, that's why its so important to be kind
