This really hit home for me. I had a weird relationship with my brother where we stopped talking for a long time too. He passed unexpectedly and I regret not rekindling that relationship with him. Hearing this made me sob, I'm happy for Leslie!
I'm sorry to hear that. I wrote my above comment before I read yours and am sorry if it made it any worse. My heart goes out to you because I know how I would feel.
So happy for Leslie and for her to share this with everyone. I really hope if anyone wants to rekindle with a family member this will give them the courage!
It's so crazy how all of this came about! The fact that she said exactly what she wanted to say but didn't want to say directly to her brother, but it got to him anyway! And he actually initiated the connection in such a considerate way! This is so heartwarming
As an older brother who lashed out and felt isolated in high school with a younger sister who was favored by our parents (both descriptions are self-admitted retrospectively now that we’re older) this story felt very relatable for me. We were lucky to have rekindled earlier in our lives (when I was in college and she was in high school), so I can imagine how overwhelming this was for Leslie, and I’m super happy she got to rekindle this relationship with her brother!
The craziest part is that TH-cam algorithm knows this and now one of the top searches for TinaKitten is her clip with Leslie talking about the brother.
This hit pretty hard for me. I lost my brother a few years ago due to suicide. These times of year can be rough. We fought when we were younger and I always thought he didn't even like me. However, once we moved apart we really started to appreciate each other. I am so glad that you were able to rekindle your relationship. To everyone else, it's never too late. Something could end up happening that you may never get the chance. My advice is to not wait.
Crying because I am so happy for you Leslie. The heartbreak you must’ve felt. To know that some part of you is healing is just so beautiful. It gives me and many people hope.
This is something I can really relate to.. not having a great relationship with my brother. Hearing her speak about her brother throughout the years was heartbreaking, but when she came out with this news last night I cried so hard. It made me feel so happy for her and hopeful to also change the relationship I have with my own brother. It’s so heartwarming how they bonded
I used to fight with my brother all the time, and we stopped talking for a while but we both matured and changed and we only just started becoming great friends when I was 22. We now call every week and I think you should keep hope that things can definitely change
can you give me a summary of what this video is about? The basic run down of her relationship with her brother. I can't be bothered to watch all 30 mins of this.
@@truestrose234 Leslie explains how she never had a close relationship with her brother her entire life. They rarely spoke, but her brother a few months ago received an insta dm of a clip of Leslie speaking about how she felt about their relationship, so he ended up reaching out to Leslie by email and they began to talk and are now trying to reconnect with one another.
@@truestrose234 a random person dmed her brother a clip of her and tina talking about him where leslie was sad they had no relationship and hoped maybe one day to develop one. he reached out through email saying he saw the clip and would like to be friends, now they occasionally meet and are getting to know eachother
This story makes me so happy. I'm six years older than my sister, and we also had a rocky relationship growing up. Once I was in college, I wondered, 'Why was I fighting with her?' Changing my perspective brought us closer together and strengthened our entire family.
him giving you the chocolate at the end of your first meeting feels really symbolic if you consider the reasoning you gave tina as the rift in your relationship :’)
As someone who has a good relationship with my brother and sister, I’m really happy to hear about this. Two nice people who happen to be siblings becoming friends.
as a person w/ a sibling this was so interesting and heartwarming to hear. My jaw was on the floor for most of the video because I was so surprised to hear how distant/awkward siblings could be. Hope you two continue to get to know each other!

Omg as soon as you mentioned The 1 I straight up started bawling 😭 I don’t know what it is but knowing you two share big love for the same thing without even knowing it and having it be something that really helped you two get the conversation going is so beautiful. My brother and I have the same age gap as you and your brother and the only way I’ve ever been to connect with him was through our similar taste in music 🥺 So happy for you both
I’m so happy for her. I also have an older brother and it’s difficult to have a close relationship sometimes when life gets in the way but I couldn’t imagine not having him in my life so I know it must feel better having him on her side
This made me cry so hard. I lost my older brother 7 years ago and he was my best friend I miss him everyday. So happy for you Leslie that you and your brother are talking again
This has got to be the closest thing to a supernatural experience I've ever heard told on TH-cam. The meetup, first reactions, Folklore... That's a pure stars aligning moment. I'm so happy for you two; what a chathartic moment!
this makes me cry 😢 i dont have a relationship with my two brothers too. we acknowledge each other, say hi, comment on family stuff but were all awkward. im so happy for you Leslie! this is a lovely story gives me hope maybe someday it will be me too
I started crying when she started talking bout the email from her brother because there's no universe I could imagine where any of my 3 siblings and myself are not on speaking terms....Stories like Leslie's is why I thank the Lord above that even though 2 of us are in our 30s and the other 2 are in their late 20s, despite all the problems and fights/arguments we've all had- we still are the Big 4
This video actually made me cry 🥹 Every time you would talk about your relationship with your brother it would make me super emotional because my siblings are literally my best friends and I can’t imagine someone not having that!! Specially you because you just seem like the nicest person! I hope that everybody who is having a hard time with family right now sees this & knows that things can get better when you least expect it ❤
When he said he’d “let the photoshoot happen cos it would be funny” cemented in my mind that they’re the same person 😂😂 it’s so stupid how they could have an amazing relationship if not for the small petty things in life. There should also have been intervention by the parents and deny any favoritism even if true.
I was thinking the same thing about him trolling her, totally shows how much they’re actually alike and have the same sense of humor. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, the intervention would’ve been good, but from how she told the story, I don’t think their parents have a “favorite”. I think their parents treated them both the same but just let them sibling relationship run its course in hopes that something like this would happen. So I think that the parents not intervening helped. Shout out to that random person for sending that clip to him, they’re the real MVP.
This is such a heartwarming story. Really happy for you Fuslie! I hope you guys continuing progressing your friendship and sibling relationship. I hope one day you guys can share everything with your parents as I'm sure it mean the world to them. Best wishes!
thank you for staying this, its your openess and conversations like these that have made me a member of your community for so long. helps me to navigate important relationships in my life a lot better
8:42 This part just really made me cry, like when i picture this in my mind and picture myself in her position, it makes me think about my sibling and how i would also have reccuring dreams of when we would talk like normal :,[
This is so amazing. I'm someone who has always had a relationship with my brother but there's something so deep about this circumstance. I completely understand the feelings that are driving it and gaining these sibling experiences all at once at an age where you're more mentally mature sounds incredible. Parents will pass away, but your siblings grow with you
when you said you got an email from your bother i started tearing up, i am just as distant with my whole family and this touched my soul. 😭❤ i am SOOOOOO Happy for you leslie. i hope to reconnect with my family as well. 🤞❤🩹
What Leslie said about not being able to tell him her real feelings to his face is why I think people should normalize writing letters to each other. The problem with talking is that it is a dialogue, the other person always feels like they have to defend theirself or respond to what is being said. Letter, or I guess video messages, are perfect because it lets a person explain their side of the story without interruption and gives the reader time to actually comprehend the message in a rational manner without anger. Imagine essentially receiving a report card every year where the people you care about most, talk about the most important thing they wish they could say to you, good or bad, but have a hard time finding the right moment to talk about it.
as soon as she said her brother was as swiftie i lost it 💀💀 they really are siblingsss. im just envisioning the real life version of yvonne and leslie talking about taylor in animal crossing 😭. so happy for leslie, ive only heard her talk about her brother once, so cute to see they rekindled, i have a brother of my own and i cannot imagine not talking to him, crried like twenty times trhoughout this video LMAOO
when she asked her brother “who sent you the clip”, whyyy did my brain scream TOAST!!😆wouldnt it just be such a toast move to make a burner account, send the clip to leslies brother, watch them mend their relationship and never say anything about ittt😭
incredibly sweet and heartwarming story, somehow barely remember the stories about her brother even after years of watching her stuff but im glad everything worked out
I kinda figured this would happen, she meantioned that her brother would watch small things of her every now and then. Im just glad she talked about this much just so this could get a spark at least. Im happy for her.
That's so crazy that just a random person, a random chatter, or even just a person that happened to click on your stream, did all this for you!!! That's amazing to hear! It sounds like a miracle lol
Thx for sharing, my eyes are now oceans of tears. I cannot begin to describe how empathetic and human it made me feel hearing that. I could go into details about my own life, but lets just say you're not alone in these experiences and i'm really happy for you. It's one of the ultimate things as humans that we all experience this feeling of connection, and when we don't have it, it makes us feel empty. Thx for making me feel whole because just by hearing by proxy about what someone else went through, it helps me to reflect on my own life...which honestly wasn't even that bad, like i've had a great life it's just even if my life was great I can be thankful for that. So thx for sharing
This is so heartwarming man. I felt so bad hearing her relationship with her brother previously cause I couldn't imagine not being able to communicate with my own sister considering what she's done for me. Hearing her relationship was bad hurt but hearing it got so much better is sooo nice to hear man.
I was actually recently thinking about the fact that leslie said she hasn't had a relationship with her brother since she was a kid and it always made my heart ache for her, I'm so glad I saw this I'm genuinely so happy for her and her brother!
This made me so happy for her. Family is important and I’m glad that she has a relationship with her brother again. Edit: I’m reading everyone’s stories about how they can relate to Leslie and her brother and I just want to say.. I hope we all are able to build a relationship with our loved ones. We never know what the future holds and if you miss someone.. please reach out to them before you are unable to do so. Even if we have to take baby steps to build a relationship again… I hope we all get there. Love y’all FusFam and wishing you all the best. ❤️
It's crazy to see this right now im so happy for you Leslie. I lost my sister to cancer in November 07 aftr TG when i was 12 n she was 16 n I really wouldve love to see how we would be now so I'm so glad when anyone has a good relationship with their siblings I wouldn't wish my pain on anyone so congrats Leslie 🎉😊
i understand this so well bc i was never close with my brother but last year we started to talk more and get closer for about 2 months and then we had a huge fight that hasn’t happened for a long time and somehow after we became closer bc of it ty for sharing leslie and i hope ur relationship with ur brother continues to be good ❤️
Bro I'm at work right now and I can't watch with audio but when I tell you I can HEAR Leslie's excitement through the closed caption...my eyes are so watery. So happy for her and her brother/family!
My brother is also 6 years older. He passed away a year ago and I’m so glad that we were super close and have a great relationship. I’m glad they are getting to know each other because, god forbid, if one of them pass away the other will have so much guilt and regret. Cheers Fuslie!
i know this probably doesn't mean anything but i can't stop thinking about this crazy coincidence. but this exact day, august 14th is my birthday and this year i spent it listening to folklore and i started my own birthday vlogs that leslie always does and that's before i even heard this story. idk it's just kinda crazy and it makes me feel connected to her. that's it, just thought i'd share.
Im sobbing watching this..i miss my brother ever since he got married he changed and i felt like i lost the big brother father figure ive had my whole childhood like i lost my protector.. Im so happy for you and your brother.
my little sister passed away a few years ago, its a terrible waste to let a rift grow and never mend. i am so happy to hear this. its just not worth missing out
EXACTLY. I genuinely couldn't even begin to understand her story. Siblings who hate each other are easier to understand. Like what happened if her mom had to tell the same thing to both of them? Did she go to each other separately to repeat the same thing because they're apparently strangers omg?
Sort of reminds me of my relationship with my sister (she's six years older), we sort of had an awkward 'business-like' relationship for the longest time. Thankfully, things got better with us too... very glad Leslie & her brother are re-connecting.
Yea, having siblings a lot older than you is very difficult. My brother is 9 years older, so by the time I was in middle school he had already moved out, and moved to another state. He wasn’t able to teach me any of the lessons he learned growing up. Basically the only thing I remember of him back then is him babysitting me a couple times at his friends house when he was in highschool, him yelling at me to not play with his nintendo, and the sound of him yelling at my mom and dad what seemed like every night. He came back around the time I was graduating highschool and we would go on drives at night sometimes, but by then the damage was done. It basically felt like he abandoned me. When I think about my upbringing it feels like I was an only child. We interacted so infrequently that our personalities are polar opposites, and everyone is always surprised when they find out that we are brothers.
@@WARnTEA I'm sorry to read that, and yes, there's always that difficulty in trying to connect with a close (yet distant) relative for whom there's almost half a generational difference. I guess I'm lucky(er) insomuch six years isn't so bad and there was another (middle) sibling both of us got along pretty well with. Like you, our personalities were just too different (still are in many respects), but while there was nothing which made us hate or even dislike each other, we just drifted apart when she left home to go to university (it's taken a long time for me to accept that a lot of it was also our dad's fault... he's not a bad man, but he's greatly flawed as a parent because of how he was brought up, something he's very regretful about, which nevertheless led to all three of his kids being somewhat uncommunicative, me especially). Despite all that, though, we slowly re-connected over about four or five years and we can say we have a sibling-like relationship and wonder why it was ever not. I hope, one day, you'll be able to share the same with your brother and that you can reconcile.
It’s always really shitty when a parent favors a child and the sibling can tell, definitely screws with the sibling dynamic big time. For sure something I’ll take every precaution to avoid as a parent
Ngl this made me cry quite a bit. I lost my brother when I was very young. I am so happy for Leslie and hope she gets to create a lot of memories with her brother!
i bet her parents are overjoyed that they are starting to rekindle their relationship. it must have been hard for them too. also whoever that rando that dm her brother, youre the real hero.
This really hit home for me. I had a weird relationship with my brother where we stopped talking for a long time too. He passed unexpectedly and I regret not rekindling that relationship with him. Hearing this made me sob, I'm happy for Leslie!

Im so sorry for your loss but this comment also inspired me that if me and my brother drift apart or things get rocky, I can always go back.
Same here. its crazy how a lot of siblings dont talk to each other in their adulthood these days.
This is super wholesome. The fact that both Leslie and her brother wanted to build a bridge back to each other is so moving!
So happy for Leslie and for her to share this with everyone. I really hope if anyone wants to rekindle with a family member this will give them the courage!
Shes one of the best storyteller in the space

It'll be to hard to top Lud tho... But I agree she's amongst the best.

This made me emotional when I watched it live, still teary-eyed watching this again. Happy for you Leslie!!

I lost my sister to cancer in November 07 aftr TG when i was 12 n she was 16 n I really wouldve love to see how we would be now so I'm so glad when anyone has a good relationship with their siblings I wouldn't wish my pain on anyone so congrats Leslie 🎉😊
actually so freaking wholesome 😭
I’m in tears. I’ve been no contact with my sister for almost five years now and this hits so close to home.
i understand this so well bc i was never close with my brother but last year we started to talk more and get closer for about 2 months and then we had a huge fight that hasn’t happened for a long time and somehow after we became closer bc of it ty for sharing leslie and i hope ur relationship with ur brother continues to be good ❤️
Bro I'm at work right now and I can't watch with audio but when I tell you I can HEAR Leslie's excitement through the closed caption...my eyes are so watery. So happy for her and her brother/family!
My brother is also 6 years older. He passed away a year ago and I’m so glad that we were super close and have a great relationship. I’m glad they are getting to know each other because, god forbid, if one of them pass away the other will have so much guilt and regret. Cheers Fuslie!
Your parents must felt like they are experiencing a miracle!
Very happy for her I also wasn’t close with my brother growing up but rekindling that relationship was the best thing to ever happen to me
Tina wearing a black hoodie in a dark room was the one who send him the clip and set this whole thing up, Genius
this is one of my favourite videos ive seen in so long, ill definitely remember this for a long time
i know this probably doesn't mean anything but i can't stop thinking about this crazy coincidence. but this exact day, august 14th is my birthday and this year i spent it listening to folklore and i started my own birthday vlogs that leslie always does and that's before i even heard this story. idk it's just kinda crazy and it makes me feel connected to her. that's it, just thought i'd share.
That was the coolest, most wholesome story I've had the pleasure to watch in a long time. That was lovely, thanks for sharing! 🥰
genuinely so happy for you and i teared up watching this 😭and the coincidence of the tswift album playing when you got there is wild LMAO
This is honestly so cute and so heart wrenching 😭
Remember communication is the main thing, siblings yall gotta talk and learn to understand eachother.
The second-generation Asian American sibling relationship experience. If I had a nickel.
I’m so happy for you 🥹
Can relate so much with this. Happy for your new found relationship with your brother! :>
Im sobbing watching this..i miss my brother ever since he got married he changed and i felt like i lost the big brother father figure ive had my whole childhood like i lost my protector..
Im so happy for you and your brother.
my little sister passed away a few years ago, its a terrible waste to let a rift grow and never mend. i am so happy to hear this. its just not worth missing out
that is the strangest sibiling relantionship i ever heard of
EXACTLY. I genuinely couldn't even begin to understand her story. Siblings who hate each other are easier to understand. Like what happened if her mom had to tell the same thing to both of them? Did she go to each other separately to repeat the same thing because they're apparently strangers omg?
Sort of reminds me of my relationship with my sister (she's six years older), we sort of had an awkward 'business-like' relationship for the longest time. Thankfully, things got better with us too... very glad Leslie & her brother are re-connecting.
Yea, having siblings a lot older than you is very difficult. My brother is 9 years older, so by the time I was in middle school he had already moved out, and moved to another state. He wasn’t able to teach me any of the lessons he learned growing up. Basically the only thing I remember of him back then is him babysitting me a couple times at his friends house when he was in highschool, him yelling at me to not play with his nintendo, and the sound of him yelling at my mom and dad what seemed like every night.
He came back around the time I was graduating highschool and we would go on drives at night sometimes, but by then the damage was done. It basically felt like he abandoned me. When I think about my upbringing it feels like I was an only child. We interacted so infrequently that our personalities are polar opposites, and everyone is always surprised when they find out that we are brothers.
@@WARnTEA I'm sorry to read that, and yes, there's always that difficulty in trying to connect with a close (yet distant) relative for whom there's almost half a generational difference. I guess I'm lucky(er) insomuch six years isn't so bad and there was another (middle) sibling both of us got along pretty well with. Like you, our personalities were just too different (still are in many respects), but while there was nothing which made us hate or even dislike each other, we just drifted apart when she left home to go to university (it's taken a long time for me to accept that a lot of it was also our dad's fault... he's not a bad man, but he's greatly flawed as a parent because of how he was brought up, something he's very regretful about, which nevertheless led to all three of his kids being somewhat uncommunicative, me especially). Despite all that, though, we slowly re-connected over about four or five years and we can say we have a sibling-like relationship and wonder why it was ever not.
I hope, one day, you'll be able to share the same with your brother and that you can reconcile.
wow, this video made to cry. im so glad leslie was able to rekindle with her brother.
It’s always really shitty when a parent favors a child and the sibling can tell, definitely screws with the sibling dynamic big time. For sure something I’ll take every precaution to avoid as a parent
Ngl this made me cry quite a bit. I lost my brother when I was very young. I am so happy for Leslie and hope she gets to create a lot of memories with her brother!
The funniest part for me is that when they are back with their family they revert to their previous relationship
This is one of the weirdest wholesome family stories I've ever heard.
I love hearing her tell stories.
i bet her parents are overjoyed that they are starting to rekindle their relationship. it must have been hard for them too. also whoever that rando that dm her brother, youre the real hero.
As an only child I don’t understand exactly but I can feel your emotions. You’re a great storyteller and I’m so happy for you ❤
