A lot of us as our parents get old, seem to forget the love they showed us when we were young. They sacrificed for us and never complained, yet when they repeat over and over the same question sometimes,either from hearing loss, dementia,we lose our temper,then we catch ourselves....The video is so true, always LOVE, Respect and Care for your parents. I See so many people dump their parents in nursing homes cause they are in the way. Sure the ones that are sick is different. But if u can care for ur parent till the end, then do it..They did for u all their life and never complained.
I agree with you the other day I was having a cigarette and I notice this lady was walking with a about three or four grocery bags in her hands and her son in his mid twenties was walking ahead of her he was not helping her he was walking so fast and he was telling her to hurry up hurry up you are walking too slow mom hurry up I went over and I ask the lady if she needed any help she refused but still I should have punched her son in the head that was disgusting and his poor mother was walking so slow because the bags were heavy and her stupid lazy son could not give a shit
+33kingofkings Good, u had guts a lot don't. Don't think I would have gone to the mother, she was more than likely embarrassed. I would have gone to the son, and told him to take his moms bags, and walk with her as slow as she might have been. He sounds like a moron and selfish, and If I saw that on the street, I''d be the first to say something. Like the other night, this has nothing to do with this story, but thought I would share. I saw a man, middle age I guess, walking his dog. Looks as if the man was very mad at the dog, for not doing his business as fast as the man might have wanted. Or something else?Then I saw the man take the leash and whip the dog like he was a piece of shit. Started to kick the dog and listening to the dog cry.I went over an yelled at the man, he told me where to go. I did not go away, the little doggie was shaking. I called the cops, they came right down. I told the story, got it on my cell phone anyway. Not sure what happened, but they did take the man away, and someone from his family came over and took the dog in horror.Jist of this story and yours is, we can't just walk away, close our eyes, or look the other way, as most Americans do. We are a nation, unlike all of Europe and the rest of the world. Our nation seems not to want to get involved. Sure we stop for the car accidents and injured. That is human nature. As is the dog story. People love dogs. But, domestic issues outside ones home or homeless people in trouble, people walk right by. Americans don't even say hello, instead the "HEAD" drops fast.. We have all seen this. Go to Europe or Australian and see strangers saying "Good Day" or Hello to strangers. It's really nice to see. What are we a shy country, that could care less about common courtesy?I have been in Europe when people have had enough, and instead of hiding in their living rooms with the shades drawn, doors locked, and TV blaring, people take to the streets in thousands and protest. A shame we as Americans don't do the same?? Thanks all for listening. I am sure I will get a lot of HATE mail, but its ok, we all have our opinions.
John Luciano I don't have anything against the Americans or Canada but you are right about one thing in Europe if you don't like something they start burning their own streets it may be a tad overboard but they do protest in the thousands they go absolutely fucking nuts if something is not going right it's true that's what American Canada should start doing spill to the fuckin streets and start protesting in the thousands and thousands but they don't do that I don't know why
that is right us we Filipino we have strong family tie ups and we never ever let our parent suffer when they are old...but their gone at an early age it is difficult to leave without them it is because your sibling doesn't understand every part of you...sad but that's life
rip dad..i miss u so much, i am so sorry i yelled at u when u asked me something, i really miss you..i hope u can come to my dream n talk to me just for a little while..i love u dad!
Lost my Dad 31 years ago aged just 42, 6 months after his father died, and now I'm ten years older than he was when he passed, oh how I would love to sit on a bench in the park with my Dad now, who would only just have turned 74 and give him a hug whilst my 2 Grandsons played ball . R.I.P Dad n Grandad .
How Pokémon my Dad was 42 when he past his Dad my Grandad was 75 6 months before, I'm now 52 my Dad would now be 74 if he was still alive and I am a granddad myself to 4 boys . hope this helps .
I think i achieved what i want from this video.Our parents really deserve love,respect and care from us.I really appreciate what you said after watching this video.God bless you all.
it totally depends. My mother was not patient at all, she was violent and s abusive. Why should I respect her but I loved the video and had tears in my eyes watching it...
Tarangita Shantam Know for sure that your mother had shown you patience that you will never be able to meet in your life: she carried you for months (with all the suffering it comes with) and she is most probably the one who took care of you while you were helpless baby.
I needed to see this. My Dad is 78 and has been forgetting everything and we have to repeat over and over and we get frustrated. This was a great wake up call, thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏻
Spend as much quality time with him as you can, 'cause you don't know how long you'll get to do that. Both of my parents are now gone and I miss them both.
I went through the same thing get frustrated with my dad not hearing what I was saying or what my kids were saying too. I even yelled at him to how stubborn he was. Through all that yelling I did, he still was the most loving and caring person I've ever met in my life. He passed 2 years ago, deaf and stubborn as he was I miss him so much and have to live with myself on how I got mad at him just for being old. You don't know what you have till that person is gone.
This brought me to tears. I lost my elderly father late last year and at times I would get very short with him. I was his caretaker for years and it took a toll on me. I started to eat and drink to levels. When he said he was "doing the best he can", I pulled back and learned patience. He taught me a lesson as his son. I'm grateful that I was with him with the moment he passed. Boys tend to be close to their mothers. I held my composure when she passed and he was inconsolable and became worse when I told him I loved him and tried to do the best I could to comfort him. I grieve more with his passing because he was the last parent. Pull back and smile even though you get angry and feel hostage to an elderly parent. The man had pride and wouldn't let me clean him until close to the end. You get use to the Assisted Living Management calls at all hours. My father taught me a lesson with his decline and I hope I don't live until my mid-nineties. He never complained despite mine. We all have a sparrow story as we're all marching in this direction. That's all I wanted to express. This son is probably forty or so. I'm much older. Be grateful for the time you have with them as your mind will haunt you and you will explode in tears and cannot stop. It comes in a second.
Nicely said man. As you said, life can completely change in just a second. It's good that you were able to learn from the experience, and even better that you were there for your father when he needed you.
Ms. Emily, thank you for your reply nd I wish you a happy life and hopefully you have learned something as I try others to know. We all have different stories and backgrounds and it can be easy to get frustrated and angry. I feel at times my father was "playing with me" when he slipped into dementia. I figured he was hiding from me something I thought he knew he was going through as a younger man. I'm very A to B. Get it done for him while my home is a mess. Then, you realize they don't always realize the fact they're losing it and slipping into what is very scary. I get it now and wish I realized it earlier. However, I was there for him for years as he was for my Mother. I didn't fully realize his pain until I had my own dealing with him. Make the time and try to appreciate an older person's perspective with dealing with the their mortality and your own. I don't mean to be depressing but it hits you in the head eventually. May all your dreams and happiness work for you. Life is not easy.
my heart goes out to you in your loss! Your father was patient with you, be patient and forgiving of your self as well. the most terrible illness is the loss of memory and self and witnessing it is extremely painful. Both my father, and my father in law had alzheimer disease. You would have and did, do everything you could do to help...you are human..you are someone whom I do not know, yet I feel that I would know you if we passed the street...you are not alone...
My hurt results from the fact that as my parents became older, I would become bored listening to them discuss things in their lives. I would want to get the discussion over with, rush out, and be on my way to things I wanted to do. But then each one of my parents died unexpectedly, a few years apart. Now I wish I could spend hours with them, listening to how their day went. With their passing, my wholeness as a person, ceased to exist. Pieces of me went with them. There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear them speak to me again ! My advice to all of you whose parent (s) are still around, give them your time. Once they're gone, the hurt is forever present. I love and miss you mom and dad. I'm sorry for not giving you more of my time.
ValentineDayTwin Hey there, I'm so sorry for your loss and I must say, I also missed so much precious time with my Dad, especially in the very years- or months - before I lost him. But then, he did come back from his deathbed once when we already thought he was gone, and I was so in shock and terrified that in the end I may have just failed him at that time because I could barely talk... anyways, the important memories, those that are supposed to last, are not those "famous last words" we see in movies (in my case: seeya tomorrow then) but the ones we have kept in our memories from those very special moments, the ones we won't forget and the only ones that count. I know what you're saying though, there's this piece of my soul missing that can never be replaced
Crystella312 IlikePotatoes yeah i lost my mom at 7 haf now im 11 half i miss her here and there but my picture of her in my mind are blurry so i have to watch videos of her sometimes to remember what it was like to have a mom i still get question why don't i ever see your mom or wheres your mom or tell your mom to sign this or give this to your mom im like dad
i am completely devoid of emotions... but when i watched this video, i actually felt something... it was incredible, and i hope that i can find more videos to cry to... because life is meaningless if you cant feel anything... crying is powerful, it feels... good to me. idk if anyone else knows what its like to just exist in this world, totally numb and unfeeling, but what i do know, is that today i finally felt something, and it was amazing.
Thank you for uploading & sharing this. I'm guilty of this & now I am the one that sometimes goes through this type of misunderstanding/misinterpretation. You see, my mother was hard of hearing ever since a child & I recall when I was a bit younger, I would get frustrated at her for having to repeat myself to her over & over again. Well, after living through war for 16 months & being blown up several times, I am the one that is hard of hearing now & tend to frustrate people when I ask to reassure myself of what I thought I heard. Definitely a hard lesson learned. But it instill a lot of patience and compassion in me because of these experiences. Definitely a humbling experience. Man, I cant stop crying but it's a good thing to release these emotions from time to time.
Of course this video emphasizes the fact that we should be patient with our aging and elderly parents. But, what about our brothers or sisters or friend or neighbors. Will we one day regret that harsh word spoken or angry ending to a relationship? We should all look at what consequences our words carry. Kind words that are spoken are remembered, even by a stranger.
You are so RITE the next thing you know you say something to a family member or friend and thats that and i did BUT i was joking around and she took it the wrong way and she lased out and i was like WHAT and we didnt talk for awile
This is so beautiful, I saw my dad for nearly a week now, after about 4 months of absence, I also sat next to him, and watched him sitting there so fragile, his right arm shaking uncontrollable from the Parkinson's decease, his jaw shivering, and I was so sad, tears rolling down my cheek, thinking of the once strong man he was, feeling sad at all the times that I was impatient and just nasty to him, yet yesterday when he hugged me, I only felt his unconditional love, and nothing else......love your parents guys... we never know if that hug was the last one....I will never stop loving my mom now nearly 8 years gone....I love you dad!
people out there who are reading this.... I loved my dad very much... he was my best friend... my superman...incredible hulk. Feb 5,2010 was the worst day of my life because my best friend died in my arms... watching his life leave his body was the absolute worse thing... So anyone who is reading this... make things right with your family because once they close their eyes and the Dr says those words..."lets call it. time of death"... you don't want...would've, should've, could've....I did everything I could for my dad. but my brothers have to live with that guilt... rest in peace EDMONDO ARCHULETA....( 1943-2010) I'll always miss and love my dad...I would give anything to have him back.. and to be healthy...like I said make things right.... family will get mad but you don't want to be like my brothers...
You realize your pain and love for your father. You haven't asked me what I think and please forgive me but I need to say with regard to you and your siblings YOU were the strongest one! You stepped up and did what you knew you had to do. Dear Steve, find love within yourself for your father for that Son. I'm just a stranger as another man talking to you. Read my post above if you wish.
OSTARAEB4 I'm the middle... there are only 3 of us... no sisters.... it's hard to find peace... it really is... every time I close my eyes. I can see him dying... do you know how hard that is??? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... I cry every every yr... my dad was everything to our family... once he died. Our family fell apart... we don't talk to eachother... it sux but it is what it is....😎
That's exactly what happen with my family too. My brother who we were so close growing up never contacts me, I've tried many times, my sister I don't know where she is. It like I have no more family.
Allah "God" says in Quran ((And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.(23) And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." (24) )) Al-sra - Verse 23-24
we have been created to love each other and you can see the kid (only 2 years old) starts to cry when he sees his mother acts as being beating up by someone. But while living in this life for a long time, our hearts are being effected badly with all of this worldly life to extend that sometimes we see some people who would insult their mothers and fathers, or beat them up. now God is ordering and reminding all of us to be good to our parents. if you are arrogant and start saying something like "I don't need book to tell me to love my parents." then why don't you say the same thing to this video. or to all of the kids stories that teach the manners of loving the parents. Do you see now ? your logic is messed up.
Smile He didnt tell him to shut up because he didnt have a good comeback, but because the amount of bullshit in the comment. The truth cannot prevail because it is not the truth. :))))
Chris Kolodynski u know, think about how ur life is, how ur here, why ur here, before judging a holy book, read it, understand it, think for ur self, dont allow the media to corrupt u, god gave u a brain , use it wisely.
Both of my sons are gone and i could only wish that i had the opportunity to see my 2 little babies grow and grow. Now they're my 2 little angels in heaven watching daddy grow old until i get to meet them once again. While you wait in peace my little angels, daddy will find you again. Forever in my mind, and forever in my heart. Daddy loves you, Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed.
IIUzzymanII I can't imagine the loss of ones' children, but I'm sure they are waiting patiently for you with open arms. Live in happiness for their sake, and when you see them again, you will have eternity to tell them all your amazing stories about your life. And when you get there, tell them to hug you for me. :)
IIUzzymanII, I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a family member. I had a friend who lost her brother when he was seventeen years old and knew another family who lost a son the same age exactly one year later to the month. The first one died in a car accident when his car lost control. The other one died of cancer. My adoptive mother passed away on November 3, 2000. :( :'(
May the Lord keep Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed close to him for eternity, and may he give you the strength to live until you're called. God bless you.

My grandmother has dementia. She is the sweetest grandmother anyone could ever ask for, always has been, I remember when I was 2 or 3, the things she would teach me, the stories she would tell me about the world. As I got older she would tell me more complicated things like about WW2, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl... Now she asks the same questions over and over... I just keep answering as though it was the first time she asked.
Thanku!!! even tho i hav seen this before, it was timely that i stumbled on it again - my mum has parkinsons and dementia - i am her full time carer. Too many times i forget, i need to be patient and understanding.. this is my daily prayer... Thanku again :0)
i had the chance and didn't do it enough. i told him i loved him but it was kind of done by habit. what i wouldn't give for a chance to hug him and tell him i love him and really mean it.
yes, this is what we forget to oft...saying 'thank you mon, thank you dad' and beeing there, unconditional - like they were, when we were young. Thank you for this video
My Father passed away lat year, I had not a relationship with him, I only wish I had the opportunity to have this moment with him. Beautiful Vid, Miss you Dad, RIP, Forgive you.
Great short film but It made me laugh because I knew It would be something to that effect. our parents raise and protect us from birth to adulthood and then It's our turn to return the favor when they get older, forgetful and helpless. Always be kind to your loved ones!!!!!
A salutary lesson for anyone with ageing parents. Repay them with the same love and patience they lavished on you when they need it most, when they become the child and you become the parent.
Yes, I've seen it on Greek TV! It is touching and a valuable lesson for us all to respect our parents, feel for them and their needs. Happy Valentine's day from Athens, Greece.
+Samantha Minecraft What is wrong with you? Racist... You just offended every single german and Hitler wasnt even a german. He was an austrian. And the austrians arent at fault either. So just go away please.
I was very touched with this video... I just lost my dad six months ago and listening to this video, it reminded me how supportive he was in everything I did, good or bad... this video touched home.. Thank you for sharing this with the word and me.
i am 12 years old, im using my mothers acoount to tell you how i feel about your ignorant statement, as i said i am 12 years old, my mom and dad are divorced, my sister doesnt care about how i feel about things, i have an xbox and a tv, and im exetremely grateful for what i have. my slutty aunt has had 2 kids, lives with my grandma, doesnt have a job, and neglects her kids, and your saying kids are ungrateful? sure, kids are naive, and dont understand a lot of things, but ive taken my own childhood time to learn the cultural arts of our race, and learned science people your age dont undertsand. ive learned how read faster than my language arts teacher, i know about our species's history than my history teacher, i am more mature than most adults, and more caring, ive risen up against the insults adults give to me and people my age, so think about what you say before you say it, asshole.
not all kids are un-appreciative, a LOT of kids are, im a kid, and everyday i see other students complain about their parents not buying new phones after they break it, ive never had a phone. i dont want one, for amusement, i watch how kids act at my school, always wanting to get things first, thinking they're popular, when most of these kids are dim-witted and inconsiderate, i have only had one true friend in my 12 years of life, and he was seperated from me, now i just have to survive in the hordes of idiots i call school.
Audra Halloran I was speaking of the sort you mentioned, with the cell phones and such. They often think that their parents owe them this and that. They don't. Those sorts of kids are the ones who don't appreciate their parents until they cast in to the real world. Just to let you know, I am 54 years old and have lived through this stuff. My comment is based on that perception, as in been there done that. So this opinion of myself being mature actually is based in fact. You assumed I was a kid, a major flaw in your argument. I also have a university education, so when have you educated yourself to my level? I don't 'act' like I am mature and educated, I am mature and educated. Your attitude shows exactly what I was talking about. Rude, disrespectful, assuming absurd opinions, angst, and just plain well, childish. Grow up, Audra, you don't know a damn thing about me. For the record, I don't type anything that I haven't had facts to back it up. See, I actually have experienced things, raised 2 kids, and I now have a grandson. I read a lot, and am always curious. Clearly you don't think I measure up to your level of expertise so I will end my response to this.
Oh rlly i dont appreciate anything and im 10 so ur saying i dont appreciate the love of my parents also i do appreciate it becuz my grandmother died :( i even cried writing this comment
we never understand how much something is worth until we are losing it... please take a moment to look at your life, all of you reading, and be grateful for what you have, and try to appreciate it for the short time it will last.
I hate it when parents try to pretend to be dumb and just WAIT till their kids get pissed and once that happens they start telling them about the stories when they were young. They literally take advantage of their kids young age and try to get love out of them. Love must come from the person itself. Not the parent forcing him to love. You can clearly tell that guy was just acting. He heard him say it was a sparrow from the beginning. He was just waiting for him to get mad and flip out.
this is just a clip that wants to prove a point. i have a 4 yr old son whom i swear is built to destroy nerves, he has that from me as i seem to realise...my only wish that in my old age he will have a little patience with me because with each passing day and each joy or bad time that goes by i am starting to understand my parents better...i wish i did it earlier...my parents deserved a better son.
Robert Voicu I believe you have a framing problem. You are not yet aware of the fleetingness of your son's innocence and the beauty within. Sadly, it will be gone by the time you notice due in no small part to your destruction of it. Try framing it in the sense of him being honestly and earnestly rambunctious. Love him for his exhuberance, for his love of life, for his indefatigable vitality. Realize that he won't always be the same little boy vying for your attention and be aware that one day you'll want from him what you refuse to give him. You may also be encouraging bad behavior, if it is indeed bad behavior, by giving him attention only when he misbehaves. Being ignored is the worst thing for any human to experience.
I didn't have parents growing up and now it turns out I can't have children. Nor do I have enough money. Can't get a job as I'm paralysed from the neck down. My dad told me this when he watched this video in 2010. I'm now 6 turning 7 in December. I love my dad.
um? wut? so u didn't have parents growing up..but u can't have kids...nor money and cant get a job and paralysed but then ur dad somehow told u about this video and ur 6? ???O.o
well I'm 61 now and it's true. we grow from infancy to adulthood and as we get old we start going back to infancy in our mind. our own children just don't understand that. I see it everyday in my parents and I try to do but no longer can as I'm handicapped now. the young generation should show more respect and appreciate what they have while they still have it
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Altzheimers in his last few years... you know what I did when he kept asking the same question of me over and over? I answered him as if he had only asked me the first time... 3, 5, 10 times the same question... and you know what? I answered him as if he had asked me only one time... he was a ww2 veteran who landed on Utah Beach on D-day... he was a hero who actually made it back from wwII after chasing the Nazis through france, liberating concentration camps, and was on the verge of being deployed to the pacific theater when the bomb was dropped. yeh, if he asked me the same question a thousand times, i'll answer him every time as if he's asked me it once.
damn,i did that. not that bad as the son do to his father, but i did it to my mom. sometime she's asking the same thing 5 times only in a short time... and i get tired to answer :( i don't remember what she's done to me while i did the same to her looong long time ago, but i am sure she didn't answer me the way I did to her. there's no chance to do it to my father, he's passed away, but I'll be good to my mom. thank you for this video.
I cant stop the tears. Thank you for making up stop and think sometimes of the realities of aging. If I am lucky enough to reach old age, I hope my daughter will never loose her patience with me as I have never lost patience with her. This is a powerful video.. Thank you.
Is Funny But Not. We all get Upset/ Angry about things that we feel are important to us. But after the Anger has past the people that we hurt withdraw from us. And at that point we start to understand that getting Upset / Angry is not the way to deal with it. We always hurt the ones closest to us ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
its inspirational, we often forget how our parents spoke to us as kids answering each question over and over and now we dont treat our children or parents with the same respect and love. this video should be a lesson to us all. have endearment for your parents as they get old. when we were small we were learning new words, as parents being old, they forget those words and needs to be reminded. treat your parents with dignity they deserve, after all they did everything for you so you could have a great life.
My tears are racing down from my eyes.. Everytime I watch this kind of video about father I always cry. Its just because maybe I misses my dad who died when I was a lil kid..
+Grady Rutan the message of the story simply tells how adults treat their aging parents. You see, most people don't really have enough patience for their aging parents; hence, they see them as noisemakers, boring, annoying and a lot. But before we should judge our aging parents, we must remember that they were the ones who brought us into this world. They were there to correct our everyday mistakes without getting mad. They showed affection because they knew we weren't capable of always doing the right thing. So if then, why do we seem to treat them so bad when they go wrong???
see your so blinded because you think this is the norm. it is not. It is explaining how adults treat their older parents. How they don't understand what a gift parents are to have..
o.o.... Dag this is kinda what happens with me and my mom ever since shes got cancer ive been so indirectly angery and i dont know why and we argue about everything and ive just distence myself so much but i dont mean to and this vid made me realize how wrong i am n how much a jerkface ive been me n my mom have been threw so much together and when sh eneeds me most i just ugggg now i feel horrible n ik what ill do to fix it
I lost my dad, quite unexpectedly, in 1982. To this day my brother and I still grieve and feel guilt as to why we didn't know. Why didn't we hear him? Why didn't we see the signs? And if we did...could we have done something to prevent it? Did we fail him? Did he think we didn't love him? Every day we ask ourselves...Dad...why did you do it? Why did you leave us? We love you Dad...we always loved you. ❤ 😢
This video quickly reduced me to tears. My mom was a strict parent and it seemed as though she fussed from sun up to sun down. But she always told us that one day she wouldn't be around anymore and we would understand the lessons that she taught us. As she got up in age and her health failed, my siblings and I took turns taking care of her until Dad retired to be home with her. After several strokes, she had lost the use of both hands. I can't explain the patience and joy that I felt as I sat next to her and slowly fed her each meal. It wasn't a chore, but an act of love to be treasured. Just being in her presence made my insides smile. And when God knew that she had had enough, he called her home to be with him on Valentine's Day of 2006. To those who still have living parents, take time now to love and honor them with your whole heart so that when they leave this world, you will have loving memories to hold near and dear to your heart. God bless you all!!!!!
Only after I read the comments of others and understood their perspective I am reallyappreciating my parents. Thank you everyone, you have really changed how I act.
the son says σπουργιτι- spourgiti not spaghetti u uneducated piece of shit . this is a greek video so before u talk do your homework . also the picture u have for your youtube account is similar to the level of your low iq
so often we take those we love whom love us in return for granted. we forget that tomorrow they could be gone. I was sitting with little girl who is 8 while watching this and made me realize that I need to cherish this time. thank you for sharing :) :)
I don't get it. Little kids ask questions a zillion times because they're little kids, that's what they do... they don't know any better. The old man was well aware that he was annoying his son, and he was doing it on purpose. What point was he trying to prove? It's almost like he wanted to spite his son....like "hey you annoyed me when you were a kid, so I'm gonna do the same thing now". So acting like a 3-year-old on purpose was supposed to teach his son about patience? Why doesn't he just shit his pants and go "ha! I changed your diaper when you were a baby, now you change mine!". And then they hug and have a hallmark moment.
I think the actor was stepping out of the current time frame, but not out of character, as if in a narrated flashback, telling his son what he was feeling--what he would say if he had a momentary reprieve from Alzheimer's or dementia. That would seem to be more effective than having a narrator or other character remind him that his father was patient with him when he was young and had a limited ability to understand or control his actions--just as his father did because he was "old." In hindsight, it might have been more effective had his mother had been the one to step in and read from the father's journal, or an actual flashback had been included, it would have made the point more effectively. The fact that she was absent indicated the father was completely dependent on his son. Sadly, if empathy for Alzheimer's and dementia sufferers is truly the message, it is lost on an amazing number of people.
oh my....So happy I stumbled on this video.....you certainly achieved your goal...I also cried, miss my parents so much now...thanks for sharing my friend....God Bless us all.
when my twenty years old son gets short with me my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I now understand how my dad must have felt when I was that age. it is ironical that despite ample human understanding about this feeling when you actually experience it you can't reverse it since that adorable person that you once hurt is no more.
mizz you clearly didn't understand the context of what the message was. the father was pulling on his son the same thing HE did to his dad as a kid. dad realizes said son doesn't remember that at all and pulls out his diary to prove that he DID understand very well.. well enough to try and remind him of when times were changed and he was very young. basically dad kicking son in the pants for being so damn stubborn about showing any kind of affection. even though he really DOES love his dad, and dad proves to son that he's not as dense as his son thought he was
how amazing, and a Honor. Wish my mother was still around to share moments like these. my mother died from killing her liver with alcohol, chains of events in her life lead her to believe that it would help the pain of the past. I became a Christian then soon a Christian soldier of the salvation army. she came to see me in roll. a month later asked me about God and Forgiveness. crying out not just to me but the Light I repusented. after a hour of praying and talking i left. she nearly quit drinking, a week later i got called out of work to take her to another City. she died in my arms two weeks after i comforted her. you never know when you will say your last Good bye. its been ten years. Honor your perents brothers and sisters. God bless you all.
A lot of us as our parents get old, seem to forget the love they showed us when we were young. They sacrificed for us and never complained, yet when they repeat over and over the same question sometimes,either from hearing loss, dementia,we lose our temper,then we catch ourselves....The video is so true, always LOVE, Respect and Care for your parents. I See so many people dump their parents in nursing homes cause they are in the way. Sure the ones that are sick is different. But if u can care for ur parent till the end, then do it..They did for u all their life and never complained.
damn right. 100% agree
I agree with you the other day I was having a cigarette and I notice this lady was walking with a about three or four grocery bags in her hands and her son in his mid twenties was walking ahead of her he was not helping her he was walking so fast and he was telling her to hurry up hurry up you are walking too slow mom hurry up I went over and I ask the lady if she needed any help she refused but still I should have punched her son in the head that was disgusting and his poor mother was walking so slow because the bags were heavy and her stupid lazy son could not give a shit
+33kingofkings Good, u had guts a lot don't. Don't think I would have gone to the mother, she was more than likely embarrassed. I would have gone to the son, and told him to take his moms bags, and walk with her as slow as she might have been. He sounds like a moron and selfish, and If I saw that on the street, I''d be the first to say something. Like the other night, this has nothing to do with this story, but thought I would share. I saw a man, middle age I guess, walking his dog. Looks as if the man was very mad at the dog, for not doing his business as fast as the man might have wanted. Or something else?Then I saw the man take the leash and whip the dog like he was a piece of shit. Started to kick the dog and listening to the dog cry.I went over an yelled at the man, he told me where to go. I did not go away, the little doggie was shaking. I called the cops, they came right down. I told the story, got it on my cell phone anyway. Not sure what happened, but they did take the man away, and someone from his family came over and took the dog in horror.Jist of this story and yours is, we can't just walk away, close our eyes, or look the other way, as most Americans do. We are a nation, unlike all of Europe and the rest of the world. Our nation seems not to want to get involved. Sure we stop for the car accidents and injured. That is human nature. As is the dog story. People love dogs. But, domestic issues outside ones home or homeless people in trouble, people walk right by. Americans don't even say hello, instead the "HEAD" drops fast.. We have all seen this. Go to Europe or Australian and see strangers saying "Good Day" or Hello to strangers. It's really nice to see. What are we a shy country, that could care less about common courtesy?I have been in Europe when people have had enough, and instead of hiding in their living rooms with the shades drawn, doors locked, and TV blaring, people take to the streets in thousands and protest. A shame we as Americans don't do the same?? Thanks all for listening. I am sure I will get a lot of HATE mail, but its ok, we all have our opinions.
John Luciano I don't have anything against the Americans or Canada but you are right about one thing in Europe if you don't like something they start burning their own streets it may be a tad overboard but they do protest in the thousands they go absolutely fucking nuts if something is not going right it's true that's what American Canada should start doing spill to the fuckin streets and start protesting in the thousands and thousands but they don't do that I don't know why
that is right us we Filipino we have strong family tie ups and we never ever let our parent suffer when they are old...but their gone at an early age it is difficult to leave without them it is because your sibling doesn't understand every part of you...sad but that's life
rip dad..i miss u so much, i am so sorry i yelled at u when u asked me something, i really miss you..i hope u can come to my dream n talk to me just for a little while..i love u dad!
Lost my Dad 31 years ago aged just 42, 6 months after his father died, and now I'm ten years older than he was when he passed, oh how I would love to sit on a bench in the park with my Dad now, who would only just have turned 74 and give him a hug whilst my 2 Grandsons played ball . R.I.P Dad n Grandad .
tc030564 I'm confused
How Pokémon my Dad was 42 when he past his Dad my Grandad was 75 6 months before, I'm now 52 my Dad would now be 74 if he was still alive and I am a granddad myself to 4 boys . hope this helps .
Both of my parents died 2 yrs ago now…they are sitting with us when they leave 🙏 I hope this message finds you, sending peace love light to you 💯🙏
I think i achieved what i want from this video.Our parents really deserve love,respect and care from us.I really appreciate what you said after watching this video.God bless you all.
it totally depends. My mother was not patient at all, she was violent and s abusive. Why should I respect her but I loved the video and had tears in my eyes watching it...
Tarangita Shantam Understandable but you could be that patient and understanding for someone else
Tarangita Shantam Know for sure that your mother had shown you patience that you will never be able to meet in your life: she carried you for months (with all the suffering it comes with) and she is most probably the one who took care of you while you were helpless baby.
Can you not say "God" bless you all because not all of us believe that
Thank you.
I needed to see this. My Dad is 78 and has been forgetting everything and we have to repeat over and over and we get frustrated. This was a great wake up call, thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏻
Spend as much quality time with him as you can, 'cause you don't know how long you'll get to do that. Both of my parents are now gone and I miss them both.
It s not easy keep on trying your best
👍
I went through the same thing get frustrated with my dad not hearing what I was saying or what my kids were saying too. I even yelled at him to how stubborn he was. Through all that yelling I did, he still was the most loving and caring person I've ever met in my life. He passed 2 years ago, deaf and stubborn as he was I miss him so much and have to live with myself on how I got mad at him just for being old. You don't know what you have till that person is gone.
This brought me to tears. I lost my elderly father late last year and at times I would get very short with him. I was his caretaker for years and it took a toll on me. I started to eat and drink to levels. When he said he was "doing the best he can", I pulled back and learned patience. He taught me a lesson as his son. I'm grateful that I was with him with the moment he passed. Boys tend to be close to their mothers. I held my composure when she passed and he was inconsolable and became worse when I told him I loved him and tried to do the best I could to comfort him. I grieve more with his passing because he was the last parent. Pull back and smile even though you get angry and feel hostage to an elderly parent. The man had pride and wouldn't let me clean him until close to the end. You get use to the Assisted Living Management calls at all hours. My father taught me a lesson with his decline and I hope I don't live until my mid-nineties. He never complained despite mine. We all have a sparrow story as we're all marching in this direction. That's all I wanted to express. This son is probably forty or so. I'm much older. Be grateful for the time you have with them as your mind will haunt you and you will explode in tears and cannot stop. It comes in a second.
Nicely said man. As you said, life can completely change in just a second. It's good that you were able to learn from the experience, and even better that you were there for your father when he needed you.
Thank you for your nice comment.
i like ur comment
Ms. Emily, thank you for your reply nd I wish you a happy life and hopefully you have learned something as I try others to know. We all have different stories and backgrounds and it can be easy to get frustrated and angry. I feel at times my father was "playing with me" when he slipped into dementia. I figured he was hiding from me something I thought he knew he was going through as a younger man. I'm very A to B. Get it done for him while my home is a mess. Then, you realize they don't always realize the fact they're losing it and slipping into what is very scary. I get it now and wish I realized it earlier. However, I was there for him for years as he was for my Mother. I didn't fully realize his pain until I had my own dealing with him. Make the time and try to appreciate an older person's perspective with dealing with the their mortality and your own. I don't mean to be depressing but it hits you in the head eventually. May all your dreams and happiness work for you. Life is not easy.
my heart goes out to you in your loss! Your father was patient with you, be patient and forgiving of your self as well. the most terrible illness is the loss of memory and self and witnessing it is extremely painful. Both my father, and my father in law had alzheimer disease.
You would have and did, do everything you could do to help...you are human..you are someone whom I do not know, yet I feel that I would know you if we passed the street...you are not alone...
My hurt results from the fact that as my parents became older, I would become bored listening to them discuss things in their lives. I would want to get the discussion over with, rush out, and be on my way to things I wanted to do. But then each one of my parents died unexpectedly, a few years apart. Now I wish I could spend hours with them, listening to how their day went. With their passing, my wholeness as a person, ceased to exist. Pieces of me went with them. There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear them speak to me again ! My advice to all of you whose parent (s) are still around, give them your time. Once they're gone, the hurt is forever present. I love and miss you mom and dad. I'm sorry for not giving you more of my time.
I shall take your advice
ValentineDayTwin i shall do it. thanks for the advice, and stay strong :)
DOTN TAKE THE ADVICE DESREOY YOUR PARETNS LIFE BY RUNNING AWAYB
ValentineDayTwin Hey there, I'm so sorry for your loss and I must say, I also missed so much precious time with my Dad, especially in the very years- or months - before I lost him. But then, he did come back from his deathbed once when we already thought he was gone, and I was so in shock and terrified that in the end I may have just failed him at that time because I could barely talk... anyways, the important memories, those that are supposed to last, are not those "famous last words" we see in movies (in my case: seeya tomorrow then) but the ones we have kept in our memories from those very special moments, the ones we won't forget and the only ones that count.
I know what you're saying though, there's this piece of my soul missing that can never be replaced
Crystella312 IlikePotatoes yeah i lost my mom at 7 haf now im 11 half i miss her here and there but my picture of her in my mind are blurry so i have to watch videos of her sometimes to remember what it was like to have a mom i still get question why don't i ever see your mom or wheres your mom or tell your mom to sign this or give this to your mom im like dad
my three boys are grown men now, but in my eyes they will always be my little boys who looked out into the world with wonder and amazement.
i am completely devoid of emotions... but when i watched this video, i actually felt something... it was incredible, and i hope that i can find more videos to cry to... because life is meaningless if you cant feel anything... crying is powerful, it feels... good to me.
idk if anyone else knows what its like to just exist in this world, totally numb and unfeeling, but what i do know, is that today i finally felt something, and it was amazing.
+anthony vadala You like crying? Ok then...
giannis skoun
when you are completely, and involuntarily numb, you will understand...
until then, your ignorance will continue to deceive you.
anthony vadala
But of course, how could I not think of that?
giannis skoun
im in my living room you idiot, and your just an annoying troll... get blocked bitch.
I completely understand.
Thank you for uploading & sharing this. I'm guilty of this & now I am the one that sometimes goes through this type of misunderstanding/misinterpretation. You see, my mother was hard of hearing ever since a child & I recall when I was a bit younger, I would get frustrated at her for having to repeat myself to her over & over again. Well, after living through war for 16 months & being blown up several times, I am the one that is hard of hearing now & tend to frustrate people when I ask to reassure myself of what I thought I heard. Definitely a hard lesson learned. But it instill a lot of patience and compassion in me because of these experiences. Definitely a humbling experience. Man, I cant stop crying but it's a good thing to release these emotions from time to time.
I missed kissing my Dad good bye before he died. Always respect your parents while they are around
sorry for your lost
+Grind Gear *loss
Thank you, very kind of you
thank you
I didn't get to say bye to my grandma before she died so you may not love your brother or your sister now but when there gone you'll miss them
Good job, Faisal, good job.
you are welcome.
God bless you
+Faisal Shah May He bless you as well
+Anthony vadala same here
Thats a greek advertising guys..
Not ad . It's a short film.
Of course this video emphasizes the fact that we should be patient with our aging and elderly parents. But, what about our brothers or sisters or friend or neighbors. Will we one day regret that harsh word spoken or angry ending to a relationship? We should all look at what consequences our words carry. Kind words that are spoken are remembered, even by a stranger.
You are so RITE the next thing you know you say something to a family member or friend and thats that and i did BUT i was joking around and she took it the wrong way and she lased out and i was like WHAT and we didnt talk for awile
This is so beautiful, I saw my dad for nearly a week now, after about 4 months of absence, I also sat next to him, and watched him sitting there so fragile, his right arm shaking uncontrollable from the Parkinson's decease, his jaw shivering, and I was so sad, tears rolling down my cheek, thinking of the once strong man he was, feeling sad at all the times that I was impatient and just nasty to him, yet yesterday when he hugged me, I only felt his unconditional love, and nothing else......love your parents guys... we never know if that hug was the last one....I will never stop loving my mom now nearly 8 years gone....I love you dad!
Glad you like it Ismeac...
people out there who are reading this.... I loved my dad very much... he was my best friend... my superman...incredible hulk. Feb 5,2010 was the worst day of my life because my best friend died in my arms... watching his life leave his body was the absolute worse thing... So anyone who is reading this... make things right with your family because once they close their eyes and the Dr says those words..."lets call it. time of death"... you don't want...would've, should've, could've....I did everything I could for my dad. but my brothers have to live with that guilt... rest in peace EDMONDO ARCHULETA....( 1943-2010) I'll always miss and love my dad...I would give anything to have him back.. and to be healthy...like I said make things right.... family will get mad but you don't want to be like my brothers...
are you the last kid in the family?(the youngest one i mean)
You realize your pain and love for your father. You haven't asked me what I think and please forgive me but I need to say with regard to you and your siblings YOU were the strongest one! You stepped up and did what you knew you had to do. Dear Steve, find love within yourself for your father for that Son. I'm just a stranger as another man talking to you. Read my post above if you wish.
OSTARAEB4 I'm the middle... there are only 3 of us... no sisters.... it's hard to find peace... it really is... every time I close my eyes. I can see him dying... do you know how hard that is??? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... I cry every every yr... my dad was everything to our family... once he died. Our family fell apart... we don't talk to eachother... it sux but it is what it is....😎
That's exactly what happen with my family too. My brother who we were so close growing up never contacts me, I've tried many times, my sister I don't know where she is. It like I have no more family.
Hey Pale, sorry to hear that, how does that make you feel... Me personally it just teaches me that I need to pay attention more.
It's just so stupid.... We are so mean to our parents sometimes and it's uncontrollable.
I agree
omg wow had me crying so bad i hug my kids right after god is so great.. god bless all that watches this video..
Love conquers all, remember your father's and mothers and all the times they have answered questions like the father did with Love.Great job Faisal
Allah "God" says in Quran ((And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.(23) And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." (24) )) Al-sra - Verse 23-24
Chris Kolodynski a bit rude, but i agree
we have been created to love each other and you can see the kid (only 2 years old) starts to cry when he sees his mother acts as being beating up by someone. But while living in this life for a long time, our hearts are being effected badly with all of this worldly life to extend that sometimes we see some people who would insult their mothers and fathers, or beat them up. now God is ordering and reminding all of us to be good to our parents. if you are arrogant and start saying something like "I don't need book to tell me to love my parents." then why don't you say the same thing to this video. or to all of the kids stories that teach the manners of loving the parents. Do you see now ? your logic is messed up.
Smile He didnt tell him to shut up because he didnt have a good comeback, but because the amount of bullshit in the comment. The truth cannot prevail because it is not the truth. :))))
Chris Kolodynski u know, think about how ur life is, how ur here, why ur here, before judging a holy book, read it, understand it, think for ur self, dont allow the media to corrupt u, god gave u a brain , use it wisely.
hazz kh It seems the one that is corrupted is you. You are the one believing in bullshit, not using your brain.
Both of my sons are gone and i could only wish that i had the opportunity to see my 2 little babies grow and grow. Now they're my 2 little angels in heaven watching daddy grow old until i get to meet them once again. While you wait in peace my little angels, daddy will find you again. Forever in my mind, and forever in my heart. Daddy loves you, Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed.
Stay strong dude! Everything Will work out,
IIUzzymanII I can't imagine the loss of ones' children, but I'm sure they are waiting patiently for you with open arms. Live in happiness for their sake, and when you see them again, you will have eternity to tell them all your amazing stories about your life. And when you get there, tell them to hug you for me. :)
IIUzzymanII, I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a family member. I had a friend who lost her brother when he was seventeen years old and knew another family who lost a son the same age exactly one year later to the month. The first one died in a car accident when his car lost control. The other one died of cancer. My adoptive mother passed away on November 3, 2000. :( :'(
OH MY GOD... I COULDN'T READ THIS WITHOUT CRYING!!!! IM SO SORRY
May the Lord keep Jayden Thomas Hameed and Jordan Mark Hameed close to him for eternity, and may he give you the strength to live until you're called. God bless you.
I love you dad until the end of time

its in arabic
Ruvini s they are Greek and are speaking Greek.
this make me realize how much i miss my dad... I wish he was alive with me.
Lexi Halley
felt the same
My grandmother has dementia. She is the sweetest grandmother anyone could ever ask for, always has been, I remember when I was 2 or 3, the things she would teach me, the stories she would tell me about the world. As I got older she would tell me more complicated things like about WW2, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl... Now she asks the same questions over and over... I just keep answering as though it was the first time she asked.
I pray for all the old people. Because eventually we are all gonna get old as well.
If we all had the father's temperament, the world would be a much better place to live in.
BORING
Racer X
MsEnchntress Did you find it exciting ?
Yea, I cried so much because my father is the complete opposite of that boy's father but I have promised that I will always look after him
HungerSlice
Thanku!!! even tho i hav seen this before, it was timely that i stumbled on it again - my mum has parkinsons and dementia - i am her full time carer. Too many times i forget, i need to be patient and understanding.. this is my daily prayer... Thanku again :0)
you were right, I was crying while uploading this too
uploading someone's video is a sin as per TH-cam community guidelines that's why you cried
Damn, I was gonna say that xD
I'm just gonna say, "DAAAYYYUUUMMM!!!!"
Wish i could kiss and hug my dad but i never got the chance
I'm sorry for that
I'm I'm sorry to hear that
Same.
Yeah me to, I didn't hug my Dad until the hospital... how pathetic............................
i had the chance and didn't do it enough. i told him i loved him but it was kind of done by habit. what i wouldn't give for a chance to hug him and tell him i love him and really mean it.
yes, this is what we forget to oft...saying 'thank you mon, thank you dad' and beeing there, unconditional - like they were, when we were young. Thank you for this video
Old man set him up. He knew goddamn well it was a sparrow. He's been planning this for a long time. tee hee
It's Greek clip and it makes me cry every time! Thanks for posting it.
I cried too :(
My Father passed away lat year, I had not a relationship with him, I only wish I had the opportunity to have this moment with him. Beautiful Vid, Miss you Dad, RIP, Forgive you.
The only thing sad is the video quality.
😂😂😂
+DeWiL your face is sad and it makes me wanna cry too
+MsLilacMLP no its how we do comebacks here in our country i didnt get that from the web but his face is still really sad though.
agreed
Are sad by knowing the son yelled at his dad who once taught him it's a sparrow?
Great short film but It made me laugh because I knew It would be something to that effect. our parents raise and protect us from birth to adulthood and then It's our turn to return the favor when they get older, forgetful and helpless. Always be kind to your loved ones!!!!!
Makes me rethink about the times when I get impatient with my parent.....God bless all mothers and fathers.
I lost my dad at only 2 years old love your dad with all your heart everyday beachside your lucky to have one.
Sorry for your loss😕
Yeah sorry to hear that
I'm so sorry!
same happened i was 2 1/2 when my dad was shot
I never had one to begin with. xD
Not sure if the intent was to create an Alzheimer moment, but it sure feels like one. Deepness here, with very few words. Very touching.
A salutary lesson for anyone with ageing parents. Repay them with the same love and patience they lavished on you when they need it most, when they become the child and you become the parent.
This is in greek in case anyone's wondering :D
Thank you , i was.
Jack van Houwelingen Anytime friend

Yes, I've seen it on Greek TV! It is touching and a valuable lesson for us all to respect our parents, feel for them and their needs. Happy Valentine's day from Athens, Greece.
Me when I'm trying to make a video game reference and my friend doesn't get it
You account name!
The fuck is wrong with you?
+Damian Cinkowski he might be in Germany can't blame him if he's german
you guys are dicks. this is the name my parents gave to me
+Samantha Minecraft What is wrong with you? Racist... You just offended every single german and Hitler wasnt even a german. He was an austrian. And the austrians arent at fault either. So just go away please.
+Samantha Minecraft Hitler was Austrian
I was very touched with this video... I just lost my dad six months ago and listening to this video, it reminded me how supportive he was in everything I did, good or bad... this video touched home..
Thank you for sharing this with the word and me.
Kids don't appreciate anything until they are grown up.
i am 12 years old, im using my mothers acoount to tell you how i feel about your ignorant statement, as i said i am 12 years old, my mom and dad are divorced, my sister doesnt care about how i feel about things, i have an xbox and a tv, and im exetremely grateful for what i have. my slutty aunt has had 2 kids, lives with my grandma, doesnt have a job, and neglects her kids, and your saying kids are ungrateful? sure, kids are naive, and dont understand a lot of things, but ive taken my own childhood time to learn the cultural arts of our race, and learned science people your age dont undertsand. ive learned how read faster than my language arts teacher, i know about our species's history than my history teacher, i am more mature than most adults, and more caring, ive risen up against the insults adults give to me and people my age, so think about what you say before you say it, asshole.
not all kids are un-appreciative, a LOT of kids are, im a kid, and everyday i see other students complain about their parents not buying new phones after they break it, ive never had a phone. i dont want one, for amusement, i watch how kids act at my school, always wanting to get things first, thinking they're popular, when most of these kids are dim-witted and inconsiderate, i have only had one true friend in my 12 years of life, and he was seperated from me, now i just have to survive in the hordes of idiots i call school.
Audra Halloran I was speaking of the sort you mentioned, with the cell phones and such. They often think that their parents owe them this and that. They don't. Those sorts of kids are the ones who don't appreciate their parents until they cast in to the real world.
Just to let you know, I am 54 years old and have lived through this stuff. My comment is based on that perception, as in been there done that. So this opinion of myself being mature actually is based in fact. You assumed I was a kid, a major flaw in your argument. I also have a university education, so when have you educated yourself to my level? I don't 'act' like I am mature and educated, I am mature and educated.
Your attitude shows exactly what I was talking about. Rude, disrespectful, assuming absurd opinions, angst, and just plain well, childish. Grow up, Audra, you don't know a damn thing about me. For the record, I don't type anything that I haven't had facts to back it up. See, I actually have experienced things, raised 2 kids, and I now have a grandson. I read a lot, and am always curious.
Clearly you don't think I measure up to your level of expertise so I will end my response to this.
Oh rlly i dont appreciate anything and im 10 so ur saying i dont appreciate the love of my parents also i do appreciate it becuz my grandmother died :( i even cried writing this comment
They're not the only ones.....stupid.
we never understand how much something is worth until we are losing it... please take a moment to look at your life, all of you reading, and be grateful for what you have, and try to appreciate it for the short time it will last.
Alex Keil Well said Alex! Kudos!
thanks bro!
so touching and meaningful , when they get old the roles turns the parent become the kid and the son become the father :)
I hate it when parents try to pretend to be dumb and just WAIT till their kids get pissed and once that happens they start telling them about the stories when they were young. They literally take advantage of their kids young age and try to get love out of them. Love must come from the person itself. Not the parent forcing him to love. You can clearly tell that guy was just acting. He heard him say it was a sparrow from the beginning. He was just waiting for him to get mad and flip out.
this is just a clip that wants to prove a point. i have a 4 yr old son whom i swear is built to destroy nerves, he has that from me as i seem to realise...my only wish that in my old age he will have a little patience with me because with each passing day and each joy or bad time that goes by i am starting to understand my parents better...i wish i did it earlier...my parents deserved a better son.

I believe you have a framing problem. You are not yet aware of the fleetingness of your son's innocence and the beauty within. Sadly, it will be gone by the time you notice due in no small part to your destruction of it. Try framing it in the sense of him being honestly and earnestly rambunctious. Love him for his exhuberance, for his love of life, for his indefatigable vitality. Realize that he won't always be the same little boy vying for your attention and be aware that one day you'll want from him what you refuse to give him.
You may also be encouraging bad behavior, if it is indeed bad behavior, by giving him attention only when he misbehaves. Being ignored is the worst thing for any human to experience.
Carlos Camargo you are a very wise man and you display it well... Beautiful perspective!
Last time I saw this was a few years ago and it just came on again; today is the 37th anniversary of my father's death. Good timing.
God was right when He commanded us to honor our parents. That was a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't have parents growing up and now it turns out I can't have children. Nor do I have enough money. Can't get a job as I'm paralysed from the neck down. My dad told me this when he watched this video in 2010. I'm now 6 turning 7 in December. I love my dad.
uuuuhh....
um? wut? so u didn't have parents growing up..but u can't have kids...nor money and cant get a job and paralysed but then ur dad somehow told u about this video and ur 6? ???O.o
Proper troll man, proper troll
I killed a sparrow once, does that count?
Lexus Panther It does count. So proud of you. Wish you the best in all your endeavours.
I am ringing my mum now. I promise not to get angry with her this time. It is not her fault and she was always good to me.
well I'm 61 now and it's true. we grow from infancy to adulthood and as we get old we start going back to infancy in our mind. our own children just don't understand that. I see it everyday in my parents and I try to do but no longer can as I'm handicapped now. the young generation should show more respect and appreciate what they have while they still have it
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Altzheimers in his last few years... you know what I did when he kept asking the same question of me over and over? I answered him as if he had only asked me the first time... 3, 5, 10 times the same question... and you know what? I answered him as if he had asked me only one time... he was a ww2 veteran who landed on Utah Beach on D-day... he was a hero who actually made it back from wwII after chasing the Nazis through france, liberating concentration camps, and was on the verge of being deployed to the pacific theater when the bomb was dropped. yeh, if he asked me the same question a thousand times, i'll answer him every time as if he's asked me it once.
I love my dad he is the best dad I got and this video made me cry.
mee too ♥ :'(
Heart touching. This video is a reminder to take care of our parents and thank for the countless things they have done for us before it is too late.
damn,i did that.
not that bad as the son do to his father, but i did it to my mom. sometime she's asking the same thing 5 times only in a short time... and i get tired to answer :(
i don't remember what she's done to me while i did the same to her looong long time ago, but i am sure she didn't answer me the way I did to her.
there's no chance to do it to my father, he's passed away, but I'll be good to my mom. thank you for this video.
i wish me and my dad were close..
+MIXERfun7 : You are. Sometimes you may not believe that but a father always loves his children. Do what you can to make that connection.
I was moved to tears by this. I thought of each of my 5 children. This is very nice.
Im guessing when the son got his first car the father sat in the backseat and started kicking it.
i was surprised from the first minute. i didn't imagine it would be in greek. i love my language, you should love yours too.
Χρήστος Τσίκλης i do love your language. i've been to Greece and it was beautiful.
Χρήστος Τσίκλης "RELEASE THE KRAKEN"
I cant stop the tears. Thank you for making up stop and think sometimes of the realities of aging.
If I am lucky enough to reach old age, I hope my daughter will never loose her patience with me as I have never lost patience with her. This is a powerful video.. Thank you.
Is Funny But Not.
We all get Upset/ Angry about things that we feel are important to us.
But after the Anger has past the people that we hurt withdraw from us.
And at that point we start to understand that getting Upset / Angry is not the way to deal with it.
We always hurt the ones closest to us ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
WHY THE HELL CAN'T I CRY IN THE MORNING!? Am I to grumpy in the morning???
lol
***** OH MY IRENE I LUV UR PROFILE PICTURE!!!!!!!
IKr
its inspirational, we often forget how our parents spoke to us as kids answering each question over and over and now we dont treat our children or parents with the same respect and love. this video should be a lesson to us all. have endearment for your parents as they get old. when we were small we were learning new words, as parents being old, they forget those words and needs to be reminded. treat your parents with dignity they deserve, after all they did everything for you so you could have a great life.
We are just a Me with the first part turned up-side down to keep us from knowing the naked truth.
We are Me.
this story made me cry.
Yes; it did make me cry. Thank you for putting this on TH-cam. It is a reminder for me to live in mercy rather than anxiety
If you couldn't speak there language or read english this would have been a very strange film,
it's greek
Thats nice to know. Thanks i guess.
hahaha, true
Did not even put tear in my eye.
My tears are racing down from my eyes.. Everytime I watch this kind of video about father I always cry. Its just because maybe I misses my dad who died when I was a lil kid..
It wasn't not even a bit sad .. more like a cute ending lolz
3:00 is when he realizes what he douche he was.
I stumbled upon this video thinking about my wife with terminal cancer. Thank you for this and giving me some perspective.
i wish i had a dad
***** me three
***** me four
Cinos Wrath
me five
I feel really really bad seeing all you struggling without a dad I wish I could help I know the struggle
Me eight
I watched it twice and i didn't even understand why should it be sad, can someone explain me please?
Man I dont get it either
+Grady Rutan the message of the story simply tells how adults treat their aging parents. You see, most people don't really have enough patience for their aging parents; hence, they see them as noisemakers, boring, annoying and a lot. But before we should judge our aging parents, we must remember that they were the ones who brought us into this world. They were there to correct our everyday mistakes without getting mad. They showed affection because they knew we weren't capable of always doing the right thing. So if then, why do we seem to treat them so bad when they go wrong???
see your so blinded because you think this is the norm. it is not. It is explaining how adults treat their older parents. How they don't understand what a gift parents are to have..
Yo, I'm mad confused too. Shit wasn't even sad.

Worth a read :-)
say i'm sorry. and from now on think like you're thinking now . she won't be here for ever
I Know 99,99% of people won't read this but
Hello
hiii
Hi there!
Guess I'm the 1%! Hi :)
We're .01% people. We're special :) yehey!!! hahahahahahuhuhu
Jeus Benitez Oh yeah! ;D
Wow! One of the best sermons I've ever seen! And yes, I am crying.
You were right! I did cry.
I didn't cry or get teared up. Am I heartless?
Ofc not, it' probably mot messecary for you to cry at this moment
I didn't cry either. But I did get upset when he yelled at his father.
Joel Flores me too
Jessica Pointer yes you are!
No
U r like me
I don't know how those people can cry
I lost my dad, quite unexpectedly, in 1982. To this day my brother and I still grieve and feel guilt as to why we didn't know. Why didn't we hear him? Why didn't we see the signs? And if we did...could we have done something to prevent it? Did we fail him? Did he think we didn't love him? Every day we ask ourselves...Dad...why did you do it? Why did you leave us? We love you Dad...we always loved you. ❤ 😢
Well I'm not crying but I'm very guilty of being impatient...even the bible says that love is patient.
watch again, tears again
This video quickly reduced me to tears. My mom was a strict parent and it seemed as though she fussed from sun up to sun down. But she always told us that one day she wouldn't be around anymore and we would understand the lessons that she taught us. As she got up in age and her health failed, my siblings and I took turns taking care of her until Dad retired to be home with her. After several strokes, she had lost the use of both hands. I can't explain the patience and joy that I felt as I sat next to her and slowly fed her each meal. It wasn't a chore, but an act of love to be treasured. Just being in her presence made my insides smile. And when God knew that she had had enough, he called her home to be with him on Valentine's Day of 2006. To those who still have living parents, take time now to love and honor them with your whole heart so that when they leave this world, you will have loving memories to hold near and dear to your heart. God bless you all!!!!!
ok you got me...i cried:'(
me to :'(
a great video but i didn't cry sorry
Only after I read the comments of others and understood their perspective I am reallyappreciating my parents. Thank you everyone, you have really changed how I act.
If I was the father I would also keep asking what that was if my son told me the bird was a fucking "spaghetti"
the son says σπουργιτι- spourgiti not spaghetti u uneducated piece of shit . this is a greek video so before u talk do your homework . also the picture u have for your youtube account is similar to the level of your low iq
Miou Dena Daaaaaayyyyuuuummmm nigga why you gotta get all hostile? BTW my pitcure looks good man.
hahahaha video dont make me cry but ur conversation with miou dena make me tumble. hahaha
He didn't say spaghetti, he said spourgiti, which is Greek for sparrow. The were speaking Greek.
{{wipes tears}}..
Good morning
good afternoon, ayoob khan
Stewart Brebnor {{smiles}}
Maya Thank's!!!!!
Maya Tilk No wark ?
so often we take those we love whom love us in return for granted. we forget that tomorrow they could be gone. I was sitting with little girl who is 8 while watching this and made me realize that I need to cherish this time. thank you for sharing :) :)
I don't get it. Little kids ask questions a zillion times because they're little kids, that's what they do... they don't know any better. The old man was well aware that he was annoying his son, and he was doing it on purpose. What point was he trying to prove? It's almost like he wanted to spite his son....like "hey you annoyed me when you were a kid, so I'm gonna do the same thing now". So acting like a 3-year-old on purpose was supposed to teach his son about patience? Why doesn't he just shit his pants and go "ha! I changed your diaper when you were a baby, now you change mine!". And then they hug and have a hallmark moment.
Lmao bruh
You have no heart. And if you didn't get it, you are below average on the scale.
I think the actor was stepping out of the current time frame, but not out of character, as if in a narrated flashback, telling his son what he was feeling--what he would say if he had a momentary reprieve from Alzheimer's or dementia. That would seem to be more effective than having a narrator or other character remind him that his father was patient with him when he was young and had a limited ability to understand or control his actions--just as his father did because he was "old."
In hindsight, it might have been more effective had his mother had been the one to step in and read from the father's journal, or an actual flashback had been included, it would have made the point more effectively. The fact that she was absent indicated the father was completely dependent on his son. Sadly, if empathy for Alzheimer's and dementia sufferers is truly the message, it is lost on an amazing number of people.
the father as bad memory loss obviously
you seriously dont get it or your just tryna be a smart ass ?
I'm sorry but the way that guy screams made me laugh I'm sorry people
me too😂😂
lmao, same
dick
yah me too
Gaming With Al-tonz What the fuck was sad about that 😂
oh my....So happy I stumbled on this video.....you certainly achieved your goal...I also cried, miss my parents so much now...thanks for sharing my friend....God Bless us all.
Well... that was crap.
nina ballerina It made a clumsy grasp at sentiment which it didn't earn. What don't I understand?
Perhaps you need to grow up and have kids of your own, then you might understand but if you have kids, then you obviously do not listen to them.
nina ballerina Hush. Just hush now.
***** Perhaps he is more too self invested.
The other day I ate a potato that recorded with the same quality as this video. It tasted like shit.
*slow clap*
+Schatten2712 as you are with your mouth
Us humans...so sad....not grateful for what we have...
***** your awful use of punctuation prevents me from understanding your verbiage
when my twenty years old son gets short with me my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I now understand how my dad must have felt when I was that age. it is ironical that despite ample human understanding about this feeling when you actually experience it you can't reverse it since that adorable person that you once hurt is no more.
Excellent Video, Thank You!
im guessing this only works if you have a farther. I cry easily and i didn't cry. I wasnt even sad.
mizz you clearly didn't understand the context of what the message was. the father was pulling on his son the same thing HE did to his dad as a kid. dad realizes said son doesn't remember that at all and pulls out his diary to prove that he DID understand very well.. well enough to try and remind him of when times were changed and he was very young. basically dad kicking son in the pants for being so damn stubborn about showing any kind of affection. even though he really DOES love his dad, and dad proves to son that he's not as dense as his son thought he was
It really wasn't that sad.
Howlsfromshadow Halfmoon how is that sad. its just showing that the son is a dick. not sad, actually its quite a funny prank.
yeah. I Don't Even Have A Father.
Ashley Manley ok, your point is
how amazing, and a Honor. Wish my mother was still around to share moments like these. my mother died from killing her liver with alcohol, chains of events in her life lead her to believe that it would help the pain of the past. I became a Christian then soon a Christian soldier of the salvation army. she came to see me in roll. a month later asked me about God and Forgiveness. crying out not just to me but the Light I repusented. after a hour of praying and talking i left. she nearly quit drinking, a week later i got called out of work to take her to another City. she died in my arms two weeks after i comforted her. you never know when you will say your last Good bye. its been ten years. Honor your perents brothers and sisters. God bless you all.
This video is in my language and It's sounds more sad
