I watched the vlogs of you and your mom in Korea quite a few times. They're masterclass, mini-documentaries, that tug at your heart. My mom passed when I was 20. She was the glue, and my greatest treasure. Some days, I feel like I was robbed. I was just coming into the "second act" of a relationship one shares with their parent. One when you are an adult yourself. One where you learn just a little bit more about them each day. Things you missed in adolescence. You'll have those videos forever, and I'm so happy for you. The biggest hug to you, and your mom. To my mom. To moms everywhere.

so sorry for your loss Kevin. you carry the kindness and understanding you probably learnt from her very well, to have articulated this in the way you have and to have shared it with us. love to you and your mum. and all the mums

I'm sorry for your loss Kevin 💔 thank you for your comment, it reminded me that even if I have some differences with my mom ,it's very important that she's still here. Sending much love to everyone ❤️

@JSMS97 Жыл бұрын

oh Kevin, my heart aches for your loss. Especialy because lately i've been thinking that i couldn't stand by myself if I lost my mum. I've already lost my grandma and it was like a void was made into my heart, so imagining if it was my mum is unthinkable. I know it still hurts. it will never stop hurting. you'll get used to it and eventually it becomes part of you. but i know that your mum is proud of you and telling everyone (wherever she is) that you're the best son ever and she's so happy of the person you've become. sending you lots of love and warm hugs 🤍🤍🤍

I literally always watch your vlogs the minute i get home from work (especially when I am having my dinner) i feel the most relaxed when i watch you go about your day, a very good sense of calm. I'm 25, living alone as an expat in a big busy city and I do everything by myself almost all the time, when I watch you it gives me a lot of ideas on ways to relax, cook, run errands, self care... I love it and I am here for it!!

Hi Michelle, I'm just a regular fan of yours. I have been watching you since high school and I wanted to thank you for being someone I could look up to and find inspiration from in so many ways. I come from a broken family and I never thought I could have a dream, but watching you through the years, I was inspired to do things on my own from small things like cooking things on my own to big hard things like looking for an apartment. I've been doing things by myself since i was fourteen and while it was certainly difficult, I was able to make it through by watching your videos. Now, I'm happy to say that I am a college senior ready to start a new chapter of my life, and because of everything I learned from you along the way, I am no longer confused or afraid. Thank you so much for all your work and all the changes you have made in my life through simple vlogging.

Hi Michelle 💗I stumbled across your channel purely by chance 4 years ago, and since then, I've been genuinely obsessed with your content and overall your character. I'm 28 years old and adulting is sometimes hard, so watching your videos makes me want to appreciate it more and make everyday tasks more enjoyable. I purchased your necklace and I'm in love with the design. It makes me want to remember to take deep breaths more often. Now maybe this sounds a bit strange, but your mom reminds me of my mom (in a way of speaking, hairstyle, and height 😄 even though I'm not Korean, I'm half german half polish). I hope to go on a trip with my mom and my sisters soon, too! Lots of love from Germany.🤗
