We're making new content over at O plus by OGS, and they shared a similar story of a child with rare disease. Watch here: th-cam.com/video/ZzqC4XAQI-k/w-d-xo.html
When Lucas told his mum, don't cry.. my heart sank...
I wish these kids well and their family strong. Thanks for sharing again
my heart sank even more when he said his wish was for her to not cry anymore :(
Asfa's father is a true gentleman, facing a stillbirth, miscarriage and a chronic illness in the family and still being so positive,polite and optimistic is not everyone's cup of tea. Such an amazing person and father.
faiz is such a sweetheart omg..... and his mom has so much wisdom
Exactly✊🏼the positivity✨
lucas is such a mood. I wish all the kids all the happiness and health in the world♥️
I like the malay woman, she's so strong and kind. It's almost as it there's nothing wrong. I think those who can remain unaffected and remain strong in adversity, have hope and carry on living life to the fullest are the best examples of humans.
It broke my heart when Lucas' wish was that his mum doesn't cry anymore 😭 these children are so sweet and mature
Faiz is such a well-natured boy... Such a reflection of good upbringing :)
Death is not a solution, but being alive is a journey.
-Juliana❤️
aw man mr horis , i was his student last year and i just knew about this :”(
it's sad he lost his first child and third child..
@@gaaalallaa2718 and he has such a positive outlook
Got scolded by him once before but he's a cool guy ngl
@@hiddenmelodies9282 agree
Oh he is a teacher?
Ms. Julianna (Probably Mrs now) used to teach in my secondary school and I remember her as a strict but compassionate teacher. Happy to see her again in this video and wish her and her son all the best in life. You're a strong woman, cher!
She seemed familiar too,and I had flashbacks that she might have tot me in school too
Who is Julianna? There’s no Julianna in the video.
@@xavierl3886 0:58 maybe the commenters misspelt it or the video editor did but either way, they’re referring to the Malay lady
didnt know that clicking this would launch me into a 20+ minute crying session
right?
Me too
“Can ask meh ?” Is mostly a crying marathon, a playlist that will make you treasure your life, loved ones and living life to fullest
Asfa is so cute❤️ and her dad is absolutely supportive and positive✨they made me cry 💗
Thank you! Hehehe...
Producer: What do you want in your life ?
Lucas : I want, I want a phone.
ME: HAHAHAHAH
i mean when i was a kid that was really my dream lol
damn i was really in my feels and on the verge of tears but that cracked me up HAHAH. these parents and children are going through smth we can’t possibly imagine and they’re so strong!! i wish that they will all overcome this asap and become healthy🥺🥺🥺
Dear parents, I just want to tell you: it's OK to cry. Please stay strong for your child. Things will get better
Thinking that they went through this ENTIRE interview with so much grit and holding back their tears during each recollection, makes me so heartbroken
I love this series so much, it really puts me in others shoes and understand more about them
"What do you think? Is Daddy a good Daddy or a naughty Daddy?"
"A funny Daddy" 💕
Faiz just like to eat...i connect with him on a spiritual level:)
I cried when watching this video. It really touched my heart how pure and how strong the love and bond between the family is. I personally hate the idea of raising my own children and having to commit to having a family, mostly because I know of my own limitations and have fears about raising my own children. However, this video reminded me of how precious and strong love can be. This video reminded me of reasons to live and press on despite all the pain (not necessarily physically) that I am going through currently. May everyone who reads this comment or watch this video be blessed as well :)
'If they say I don't know how they feel, I'll say I do because I went through cancer too.'
Ok why is noone talking about Asfa’s parents?? They have been through so much but yet they seem so positive and strong :((
Lucas when he told his mom "dont cry" 😭
aksfjsdlkf that story that the girl told at 16:36 about her mom promising to get water for her if she was woken up but throwing a tantrum when she actually did SENT me.. reminds me of my own dynamic with my mom 😂 anw hope everyone in this video is still coping well and happy ❤️
When the kid said "don't cry" 😢... He must have seen his parents crying so many times..
it's really so nice to see that all these families are so open and willing to share about what must have been tough, and maybe the darkest times of their lives. After a storm comes a rainbow and i'm really glad that they managed to get through this and are able to speak of all this with a smile. I respect all of them so much, thank you for sharing! To all the families battling illnesses out there, i wish that things will get better soon... praying for health and happiness to all of you!
I suddenly think of this : I wish one day world will take mental illness as serious as critical illness. because everyday we found more and more story where people die because of mental illness
No one:
Lucas in tiny: *dont cry*
My heart goes out to all the kids and parent goin through this. It hurts me seeing this but not as much as it hurts them. It’s not easy but let’s keep fighting💪🏻
Thank you so much for keep making this series!♡
Thank you for supporting! ❤️
@@OGS.Official 💚💚💚
All these parents seems so expressive and nice people like they look so kind I feel so emotional because of the kids. They are so adorable
Thank you so much for this series OCS, for not shunning reality that exists in Singapore. Hope you can receive more views and through your videos, build more empathy in our society.
Asfa is such a cutie daughter like his cute father....he is such a sweet father..he faced so many child problems...god bless him
As a survivor since 20, it was tough for me to handle in the past as a young adult in the past. Knowing the kids have to be drip and needles etc, it is even tougher for them. But I believe this gives them increase faith and empathy to people around them ,m too.
I have an autoimmune disorder called ITP.
I have not really talked to my parents about how they have coped with me and my twin sister's rare ,chronic illness.
I feel much more grateful to them after watching this❤️
Thank you for making this series. Each episode never fails to humble me to appreciate all the little things in life that we constantly take for granted.
It's very heartwarming to have good parents like all of them here. I wish everyone in good health!
Aaaah make me cry at the end. Such a beautiful display of love from all the children and parents ❤️
Thank you so much for making these series. I'm so so touched hearing all these stories and it changes my perspective in life
Asfa is not only a cute child but also cheeky....feigning a yawn....
Faiz speaks very well and such a brave boy he is....
This is so so so so heart-breaking and heart-warming to watch at the same time. I pray to God for all these sweet young kids to be able to grow up healthily and be happy forever and ever.
couldn't even make it past the first minute before crying, stay strong little angels
They are all so strong omg truly both the young children and parents
wowwww so amazed and inspired by every single parent here!! you're doing amazing ;') praying every family will continue to be happy and healthy too!! Thank u for sharing your stories!
Asfa is too cute!! urghhh, live a long good life, little angel
Thank you!
Most authentic and heart wrenching video you can ever find. The videos from this channel is really too good to be true. #underrated #thankyouforeverthing
Beautiful episode! I love this series so much. It's so valuable, touching, and something I learn a lot from. ❤️
This is a really good series and brought much needed insights into our lives. Truly some things that needs to be heard but is difficult to be discussed on a normal day in our society.
This is why life is precious and we have to treasure all the time we have with everyone around us not just pointing towards these children but also to everyone as you will never know what will happen
asfa and her dad really got to me. i wish all of these amazing kids and their families loads of joy. truly lovely people♥
As an adult that survived a childhood like this, this is so painful to watch. The part the parents don’t know is that the children see the emotions the parents feel, even when they try to hide it, and we blame ourselves. Just like that little boy, I apologized to my mom when I had accidents/vomited too, but I felt that guilt by just existing, not only in those brutal moments.
It wasn’t until my adulthood that I started to process all of these things because they led to my current mental illnesses. So. If your a parent, please talk to your children about that (preferably with a trained counsellor who can guide the conversation to leave the fewest scars!) 🤍 Not talking about something makes it feel shameful. For a child, time passes more slowly so they absorb everything.
Faiz wants to be a doctor so that he can treat cancer patients and if they say he doesn't know how they feel then he'll say he do,because he suffered from cancer too😢😭
Dang it. I keep telling myself not to watch the kind of videos anymore. It's so well done. I just keep tearing up.
I appreciate that all parents shown are different personalities with diff ways of coping and managing. One is able to hide emotions, another is emotionally tender. What is common is the love for their child to see the child through the treatment, help him or her to be resilient. That’s so precious and encourages me v much. Thank you for being willing to share with us what you’ve gone through.
I love watching all these it gives u another perspective in life and smtimes the words they say are the words u need to hear:’)
All the parents and their children are so brave. May God bless everyone of them!
This video, I absolutely loved it. It’s different to see the parent side to this because I’m a childhood cancer survivor myself:)
why am i crying watching this😭😭😭 kuddos to the parents and survivors ♥️♥️
Amazing parents! God bless these families!
Big respect to the parents that never give up! Your strength give hope and motivate others!
I wish all the kids stay healthy and happy!! Sending virtual hugs and love to all of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope they will recover soon!
Stay strong and you guys are really very brave!
That Malay lady she’s so strong that I’m here just listening to her talking makes me cry she’s strong really strong lady.. her son inherited her strong spirit...u guys a fighters
I have atrial septal defects, pulmonary hypertension, and anxiety issue and overthinking. Really up and down feeling every day. This really help me to keep positive. Thank you. And yes at this circumstances we become realize how death can approach us really easily, so we will appreciate life more with do something more meaningful.
Thank you for the video. A great reminder to treasure our life and our loved ones
Thank you to all the parents for sharing your thoughts and experiences openly. Stay strong and I wish a speedy recovery to all your brave children.
This makes me cry... Stay healthy and happy, children. ;)
I have a close cousin with a degenerative sight disease. One day he will go completely blind and even now he said his sight is like constantly looking through a keyhole. Initially, his mother did not take his diagnosis kindly for a good portion of his life and he said something once that hurt me in a way I didn't know I could hurt. While his mother was fussing over him he got fed up and said, "Could you, for once, treat me like I'm not sick?"
I don't know, that question hurt me and made me emphasise with him more than before, when I just helped him pretend he could still see. I hope these parents know that they are doing great and they're doing enough. They might sometimes think they're not but I hope they know that they are.
This is not the first time Our Grandfather Story (Can Ask Meh?) made me cry at 6am before heading out for work.
Omg me too..im crying now before going to work
these parents are so brave and inspirational.
Cant wait to hear from my heros...! Thank you so much for having this episode to raise awareness!

I wish these kids well, 加油！！！ Love from Malaysia.
😭😭 i wish all of them are well and healthy 💪🏾
All of them are fortunate to have such good parents
Hahahaha I like how faiz is like double checking what his mother said is accurate
My heart breaks!Nobody deserves to have been suffering like this so early in life with no fault of theirs!
Glad that they are doing well
Faiz looks so much like his mummy
Another episode that made me cry T.T
Gosh... the rainbow baby, then got news during pregnancy, miscarriage... 진짜 불쌍해 ㅠㅠ parents must be very strong-hearted people, God bless
Proud of you, parents. And Faiz is such a sweet boy.
Thank you for making this video
❤️❤️❤️ I love their faith.
My kid is not diagnosed with a critical illness and I do thank God for that. But she is growing up differently from other kids out there. When I first found out, I blamed everything, everyone. I questioned everything, everyone. Why my daughter? Why is it happening to her? Why is it so unfair to her that she cannot have a “usual/standard” childhood like other kids? She doesnt do anything wrong. She doesnt harm anyone. We do not do anything wrong. We did not hurt anyone. But then why is it happening to us? But thank God for those support groups on Facebook - I came cross some random strangers who live in the same area or even half way around the world. I could be honest with them and spoke out all those thoughts. Their encouraging words via facebook messenger or emails did help me to go through such hard times. Now sometimes I still get so torn, esp when my kid pops up question like mum, why is it happening to me. But I am learning to accept it and move on. To find happiness in life in the way I never anticipated before. And whenever she asks that question, I am learning to answer that girl, thats your body and you must love it to accept the way it is.
A great motivational video clip. Let we (Singaporeans) not chase the 5Cs. Let we thank GOD for not having been afflicted with maladies.
To those who or whose family members are battling rare or terminal medical condition, KEEP YOUR HEADS HIGH. MAY GOD HEAL YOU ALL!
MasyaaAllah Faiz is so wise!
May you all be healthy and happy, always.
