WHEN I MAKE LOVE WITH YOUR FATHER
KANE: what the fu*k
Kane's mom should meet Eugene's mom tbh.
Asian parents always plan the future for the family or their children first before themselves
She said such a deep thought in minutes
Gosh, hearing Kane's mom speak an asian language where she sprikles in different English words is just super comforting to hear because that is exactly how my Mother and Grandmothers speak.
Ah Chinese and Vietnamese, got it now😂
I thought I misheard at some point THEN I REALIZED SHE WAS SPEAKING CANTONESE WHUT HOWWWW
Ur mom is Vietnamese and yet she speaks Chinese!!!!! WHUTTTT IS THATYGTYYYY SO COOL
“ yeah I talk the true ting” AYEE
So profound with simple eloquence. I loved watching this.
Northern Vietnamese accent, sounds like Hanoi... any other viet people who can tell?
Im crying now because she's so full of wisdom and gratitude it really touched me 😣 so many people complain about America and taking the freedom we have for granted it's time to appreciate all the little things in life.
I’m going to do this with my mom, as I have a lot of regret not doing it with my dad before he passed. Everyone told me to ask him questions but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It felt like if I did, I was letting him go. Which isn’t the case at all! I wish I’d asked him and knew him for more than what I saw him as. I won’t make that mistake again! ❤️😊 miss you, dad. Every day 😘😘😘😘
I couldn't help myself. I cried 😭 I love her. The way she thinks is so simple yet it has such an amazing impact.
i really loved this video, i cried so hard. i really needed your mom's advice. sometimes when you dream too big you lose sight of whats in front of you and forget to be happy and cherish the little things.
OMG! I LOVE her! Rule for life: you can’t catch happiness far away. You catch it close.” ❤️
God bless ur parents, ur mum z a strong happy soul, love her.
I read intimate as " in mate" and I was like "oh no is someone going to jail?!😖"
Who else has their throat choking up? 😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I CRIED THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO, f*ck
Love herrr!
This was beautiful ☀️
It's my first time watching your mother's video and OMYGOOOD SHE IS SO CUUTE
😭 This was such beautiful life lesson advice 💕
My grandmother raised 15 children and she is gone now but she worked very hard to give my mother, aunts, and uncles a chance at a good life.
Why is she speaking in Cantonese??
I crying so hard inside.
She has such a beautiful soul. This video literally brought me to tears.
Wait .... OMG kane’s mum speak CANTONESE ?! I thought she is Vietnamese ?
How come Kane's commentary has subtitles? He speaks perfect English! Haha
What a great video!
And really inspirational, too!
Wish you the best. Pls take your mom on a trip
Your mom is an inspiration. Hug her for me. :)
That got me right in the feels... what a beautiful outlook on life ❤️
I’m not crying. YOU’RE crying 😪
Your mum is so precious.
I aspire to be like her. She gives me hope for good people and loving moms 😔❤
there are buckets of water coming out of my eyeballs
Did Kane ever take his mom to china???? I need to know!!!!!!
Thank you for making this video, my Mom passed away when I was 21, I’m 33 now and recently thought what it would be like to have an adult conversation with her like you and your Mom did.
Her childhood might have had some similarities with your Mom, she was raised in the Philippines with 8 other siblings, moved to Canada and had kids, worked a ton of jobs to keep us fed. I was always curious how she could be so happy all the time, when life has so many struggles.
I think your Moms words are very special and we can all learn from them.
Much love to your wonderful Mom, you, and your family!
😢❤️😊
Take her to China and make a video
Your parents are true Americans! They came here and their contribution to the United States is startling. They worked hard and raised their family who also contribute to our country and society. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
we should make her a go fund me travel page
I'm a 29 year old man who just cried to this. Great video and thank you and your mother for sharing.
Her definition of happiness is the literally the best, i almost teared up😢😊😊😊
This just brightened my day❤
I could only wish for parents like this. I was raised without my dad and I met his at 6. I had a step dad but that was not good I got abused mentally and emotionally. And sexually by his son my older step broth no one belived me. I wish I had your mom and dad
1:56 love thy neighbor
And great things will happen
Long live the Republic of Vietnam.
It's 2 am, I have to go to work this morning and I just came to youtube to watch a video and fall asleep. Now I'm crying like a baby, thanks
Who else understands Cantonese that his mom was speaking
No one? OKAY
HIT THE LIKE BUTTON
This video made me really happy, I gotta help my mom achieve whatever dreams she has left !
“I plant flowers for us to look at... when I see a flower bloom I am happy”
Idk why that also works so beautifully as an analogy for how she got her children and raised them to be successful, nurtured them to bloom.
*leaves room crying*
what she said about working her entire life and working to provide her kids made my heart ache :
Your mother is SO FRIKIN AWESOME AND CUTE!!!
I want to give her a hug and thank her for the "happy" advise. Bless her soul. She is so sweet.
CROWDFUNDING FOR KANE’s MOM TO GO TO CHINA MAKE IT HAPPEN
Your mother is so pure. I believe a lot of people could learn from her.
So your mom is Vietnamese and your dad is Chinese??
i not crying ....someone is chopping onion beside me ...
Oh Lord, I cried 3 times throughout this video. That was highly philosophical.
This made me call my grandma up whos in another country and tell her i love her. Same with my parents. Thank you for that.
Whoah~~ Your mom speaks cantonese too.
“I tell you the true thing”
So sweet!
I think when you come from a very hard life, even the simple things can make one happy. Love your story about your mum eating the remaining rice with tea, mums will always put their children first. Most importantly is that you noticed what she has done for you, it would be horrible if you did not. Your mum is just wonderful, reminds me of my own Mother. Mums are truly the best!
This is amazing! You should do something special for your mom!
Sad. This made me cry.
brought me to tears! your mum is very wise woman, she's literally spreads love around her, and I can feel it even just watching her on TVclip. it's so hard to us, who grew up in peace and wealth, to cherish and appreciate what we have. but your mum knows the price of these simple things - no war, enough and everyday food, warm home and no fear for the lives of your children... send you and your mum lots of love and wish you only good and fun travel to China!
Her outlook on life made me cry. She’s a beautiful soul.
Wow, there's amazing life lessons in there. Find happiness in the things around you, that's important. I love the video, thanks for sharing that moment with us
shes the cutest
Can’t wait to see when you surprise your mom with a trip to China one day! So much love in her heart
You helped me, you have even no idea,thanks
This was an emotional video, i learned a lot from this video. I’m definitely gonna have a deep conversion with my parents. I ain’t crying, it’s just this video is very helpful. When i’m older i’ll take my parents to a place where they can forget job, and just relax. Your mom is a very good person, she’s strong with a heart made of gold. She deserves all love !
Are you single? Your a beautiful man.
Don't look back. Just go on, go on. So wise. Your mom has it figured out! Thank you for sharing.
why yall cutting onions here
What a beautiful and wise lady. So much love and joy. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Cherish your parents and loved ones! My mom passed away suddenly 6 years ago. I was 29 years old. She was my very best friend! I was with her almost every single day. I preferred to be with her and around her over everyone else in my life! I have 0 regrets! I just wish she was still here. She loved the simple things in life just like his mom does.
I hope this woman can make it to China!
This made me cry...
Everything around us have the happy. :)
Thank you mama, truer words have never been spoken. Thank you Kane for this incredibly moving testimony!
Never heard of this dialect of Vietnamese before
His hair looks soo good!
Trumps America needs to see this. No wonder everyone loves your mom. She is beautiful.
Hell yea, Kane’s mom like mixing Vietnamese and English when speaking...
I wish I had asked my mom these questions before she passed away almost a year ago. This is really hitting me in an emotional way. Like your mother, my mom was also living during a war. She was born in Cambodia, but is Chinese, and during that time, she was facing the Khmer Rouge with communist leader Pol Pot. Almost went on a boat that had gotten bombed by the communist regime, but someone told her to go elsewhere. So hearing the struggles your mother faced and what she did to help you and your siblings get a better life than she had, really got me feeling super emotional because I remember my mom telling me stories of her hardships and how she wouldn't trade the world to get a better outcome.
Now I get why my dad likes gardening so much. He would water the garden after work no matter how late.
Please take care of your parents. My dad had CVA soon after retirement and it took that event for them to finally let go of the need to work and just enjoy retirement.
L❤️VE her! So incredibly sweet and genuine. Give her a BIG hug from me.
This was beautiful! Your mom is a very smart woman. She knows the value in life isn’t things but the people who you surround yourself with & the time you spend with them. ❤️❤️❤️
She’s incredible. Bless her heart
The plant part got me in the heart. She's so precious
Ik this is not related
(Kane’s Cantonese is weird)
Kane, I adore my mother aswell. You're mom is so real, adorable, and HAPPY. I teared up and laughed the whole video... I could watch you guys over and over. I enjoyed the old home videos too! I hope to see more of your parents in future videos! The love your parents share is rare and pure... I'm so happy other people comment about it!
Kane’s mom letting him eat first and pouring tea into his leftovers for herself made me straight up cry. My mother would do the same when we were tight on money and I was very young in the Philippines. She’s pour in beef or chicken or fishbone broth into my leftover morsels of rice and that would be her breakfast and lunch for the day. She always told me I have to be full to think fast at school. This totally inspired me to give her a call and tell her I love her.
Make love together 😂😂
Make happy very easy... We just don't understand how someone who spent all their lives working and yet never complains. That's because happiness is simple. You can see that when she was showing her plants. No need for luxury, traveling, partying. Happiness is right there under your feet.
His videos are the best!
Your mom is so awesome ❤️😭 I love her advice at the end 🙏
Can we start a go fund me so this amazing women can travel. She deserves it.
