These old footage always carry so much emotions even if you don't know the people in them. Thank you for sharing with us. I wish i had such memories of my own family.
I loved that footage of your family, Kath. It feels extra special that you decide to show us. Also, your dad was extra hyper when he was younger hahaha
Life is to short.. you are so right.. my husband died 4 months ago after being sick for 4 years.. he was only 28.. we made every moment count.. and married just 2 weeks before he past away.. it was the best day of my life❤
This video is literally the most special, genuine, and relatable videos I’ve ever seen from a beauty influencer...I feel so connected to u on a much more personal level and it’s just really cool...I’d give anything to have videos of my parents and grandparents like that....so beautiful...,thank u for letting us into ur world in such a personal way....💕💕
I think is quite interesting that your grandpa was waiting for you in a beauty salon. Think 'bout it, isn't it a odd place? But looking at your present seems like your grandpa was kinda leading you towards your future passion and carrear. Amaizing and incredible and lovely
This gave me chills and made me so emotional??? The footage is so dream like and lovely it doesn't even seem like it actually happened, it's like a movie. Thanks for sharing such an important part of your life. Love you forever Kat
This is exactly why I love what you put out. You are so genuine. This is one of the most powerful videos put up, especially from a beauty influencer. I confront death on a daily basis with the work that I do and whenever I come home I hold my family tight and tell them just how much I love them. Putting the phone or computer away to really and truly be present in the moment. Thank you so much for sharing.
So here's the thing Kathleen, I don't know if you've ever noticed me saying this (considering I've commented this so many times on your channel lol) but you are honestly my favourite influencer EVER and I'll tell you why...because you are insanely relatable for the following reasons: 1. Something I came to find out recently about you, your obsession for the zodiac signs...I've always had that too! So personally I'm a Scorpio so you probably know that we aren't supposed to be the best of matches, but we are somehow constantly drawn to each other...thus probably why I'm obsessed with you! lol 2. I suffer from major social anxiety as well...so when I watch you, I never feel like I'm alone and you don't understand how much that means to me 3. I feel weird connections just like you as well...I have this deep connection with my late grandma too (who I was actually named after) but never met so I can totally understand what you mean! 4. I'm an extremely private person too (major Scorpio trait right there lol) so I totally understand that side of you too...so watching this video made me appreciate you even more because I understand it's not easy to put yourself out there! I could go on and on and on but I think I've typed enough here and I don't wanna bore you lol...just know that you are appreciated Kathleen, love you oh so very much! Never stop being the kind, genuine soul that you are! - from a weird stranger on the internet! x
Chicago parks.... they were so important for migrated families in the 50s, 60s, 70s. My grandparents came from Mexico and it's hard not to find pictures of the kids in them. Beautiful footage Kathleen. Beautiful family.
This video- ALL THE FEELS. Time really does fly at an amazingly fast speed. Really makes you think. We all take time for granted I think. Thank you for sharing something so intimate. ❤️
I remember you saying in a previous video that you personally feel like you look like your dad even though a lot of people don't agree. Um, these videos of your dad as a child looks SO MUCH like you! Your love for family is so prevalent, and I'm thankful that you express that love often. It's a nice reminder to cherish our family because, as you said, life is so short.
For some reason I just didn't want the footage to end. My grandpa also passed before I met him, so this brought me some kind of closure that I never knew I needed💓 Gracias por compartir un pedacito de tu vida con nostros Kathleen 😘
I'm not as personally close to a youtuber as I am to you. You have no idea who I am, I am just a subscriber to you but you're like my family, my sister. I couldn't help but feel upset when I read you cried and everytime you smile I genuinely feel happy. I don't know why I'm typing this either but just wanted to let you know, I'm here for you always, just like our subbie family is with you always!! I want to thank you for sharing these memories with us!! I teared up while listening to you... Also congratulations on 7th year of marriage!!
KathleenLights That made my day!! I'm really happy I could make YOU happy. Thankyou for your response... sorry to be mushy but your simple reply really made my day better!❤
Oh man, I really enjoyed this video!!! Similarly, my greatgrandpa passed away before I was born. My great-grandma raised me until I was 5 and she used to tell me all these stories about my great-grandpa. Shortly after my great-grandma passed away, I had a vivid dream of my great-grandpa pushing me on a swing for a good couple hours. When I told him I want to go back home, he looked very sad and that he has to return to the church (or smth like that) and that he cannot come with me. I didn't think too much of the dream after then. THEN, when I was 10, I was going through family pictures of my dad when he was really young and I saw my great-grandpa and I got goosebumps immediately because he was exactly what I have dreamed of. Mind you, I have never seen his pictures before this time. He was wearing the same grey top hat as well. I think he wanted to show himself to me when my great-grandma passed away and I was missing her so much. I am a scientist, but it's incredible how so many things cannot be proven or explained. :) thank you so much for sharing your family videos
The videos at the end are so touching. Thank you for sharing a piece of you! I can relate to what you're talking about 100%. My grandma (my mom's momma) died four months before my birth. She was with my mom the entire time of her pregnancy and hoped to stay long enough to hold me. Sadly she passed away sooner than expected. Turns out I'm the spitting image of my grandma: her face, body shape, her walk, her personality... and I'm the only one in the family to take after her. I never met her, have very few pictures of her and only own a small video of a family celebration where she walks in a garden with one of my cousins. This connection you feel, I've felt it my entire life and I can't really explain it. It just feels good, as if I carry her in me somehow. She just couldn't leave me alone. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one feeling this way, and I know how emotional that can make you.
The real question here is why am I crying at Kathleen’s old footage of her family 😂 I’m a psycho. I loved seeing the old footage! I always felt that special connection with my grandma too even though she died when I was 2 and I never really knew her, so I know exactly what you are talking about. ♥️
Her new collab is called Dream St (assumption from what she’s shared) she’s talking about how much this dream she has had means to her, and she also talked about the date, December 17 so if I’m not mistaken....which I totally could be obviously BUT maybe her collab will drop December 17 in memory of her grandfather who she never met but has had dreams of. Love it love it love it. I totally just started putting pieces together that could be totally wrong but I tried. Lol love it, love this, love u! These clips are awesome, love from Chicago!
Lizbeth Ribota I was hoping it would launch sooner than that, but you might be right. And I would gladly wait until the 17th seeing that it’s a special date to her and her family.
I got so excited to see the photo of it on instagram, but after seeing this video and assuming thats the meaning behind it, that's even more exciting! I hope she really does end up launching on the 17th. It's so amazing to see her accomplishing things like that. I'm so proud of her ❤🙏
Let’s hope that all of these dots are really connected and she launches the 17th bc that’s a great Christmas present, even if it’s to yourself lol....and also, maybe that’s why she decided to get her “17” tattoo when she went to Vegas....love how everything with her is so symbolic she’s amazing!
Your Dad was such a funny guy, and your Grandpa? DAAAAAMN 😜 But in all seriousness, this made me pretty emotional too. Thank you for sharing such a private part of your life with us. You're so real, Kathleen 😍
What an amazing video!!! That footage was so incredibly touching, even tho I do not know anyone I was watching. What touched me the most was seeing kids outside playing! Not sitting inside on their phone or Xbox etc. Parents outside with their children playing!!! My God, the world was sooooo different back then! I was born in 1969 and this footage was exactly like my childhood!!! Life was so much simpler and slower and compassionate back then. Thank you so much for sharing such a special part of yourself with us.
My Uncle died from AIDS days before I was born in May of '92. He was my Mom's best friend and they spent every moment together. Even though he was a man, and I am a woman, my Mom says we're so similar in so many ways and have the same loving spirit, which I take as a compliment. I never got the chance to meet him but I've always felt this weird connection and bond with him. I literally cried a little when you said you felt a connection to your Grandpa even though you never met him because I have always had that same feeling with my Uncle and thought I was the only one! I guess there are just some bonds that are meant to be held, no matter what. Love you!
Oh my goodness, Kathleen! This made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal thing with us. I've been subscribed to you since before you hit 500k and this was so special to see, because it's so close to your heart. Happy (late) Anniversary to you and Danny also! God bless you and your family. Much love xoxo
Your dads soul is infectious ! Loved this video so much! My parents seem to be about the same age as yours and they lost all their home videos, photographs, and year books in a flood decades ago. So I have only seen about one or two photos of them in their teenage years. Watching this made me imagine I was looking at my own family and got me quite emotional. Thanks for sharing such a personal find !! ❤️
I've always felt close and personal to you.. but this video opened me up to another level of a connection. This is by far one of thee best videos you have ever done. So true, genuine, and full of love. Family is so important.. Kathleen thank you for simply being you.. you bring so much happiness to this space.. truly one of the best youtubers ever.. ❤
I always feel like I’m hanging out with a girlfriend when I watch your videos! I definitely need to work on being as natural and easy going as you in my videos! 💗
You’re truly something special. I hope you will always remember that. I’m from China, and that’s really nothing special but I hope you know that you’re not influencing people in the states but all around the world! How cool is that! Favorite you tuber, I actually forgot how I came across your channel, but it’s been 2 years and I’m so so so so so sooooo glad that I diddddddddd
I totally relate to having a strong connection with a relative you never met. My grandmother (my namesake) died six months after I was born. And I've always had this really strong connection with her. Like how you said you get emotional when people talk about your grandfather and you miss him even though you never knew him. I am exactly like that with my grandmother. You are so lucky to have those amazing home videos. Thanks for sharing them with us.
my mom passed away a few weeks after i turned 20, and i get really sad thinking about how my future kids will never meet her. i hope they somehow have a connection to her like you do with your grandfather.❤️
I feel the same way about my dad. He was only 44 when he passed away very suddenly. It was 5 years ago and it still hurts so bad. It makes me so sad that my future kids will never know how special he was. But seeing Kathleen i have hope that maybe they will understand. This video made me very emotional.
I never met either of my grandpas, they passed away when my parents were 9 and 12, and I lost my dad when I was 19. I’m 22 now. And same. I get so sad thinking about the future, my kids, my marriage, my three brothers, and graduating with my bachelors in nursing all without him. This is so special.
I have the exact same thoughts about my father. My daughter was only 2 when he died. He loved her to pieces and thought she could do no wrong and she loved him, but she is now 6 years old and already doesn't remember him because she was so young when he died. It breaks my heart. I wish so badly that she could have him in her life because he made such an amazing impact on my life and he would've done the same for her. :(
Kenetrice Nichole I was 4 when my dad died and i although I don’t “remember” him I got to know him through photos and old clothes he wore. I was always too afraid to ask anyone in my family about him because I thought it would make them upset but when I finally did start asking questions I felt closer to him. Make sure your daughter knows that she can ask you anything. If you have anything left of his let her see it or have it, it honestly really really helps.
My husband's biological grandmother died when his dad was really little due to a bad blood transfusion after giving birth to his dad, I guess back than they didn't know exactly what was wrong with her blood but it was bad, anyways he always felt a connection with her because he was born 2 days after her birthday but was due on her birthday Dec 10th, I'm due with our first daughter Dec 24th but will be having her via c-section on the 19th and we are naming her Eva after his grandmother which supposedly means "gracious giver of life" 😊
*Wow, what a blessing!🎁 Thank you soo much for sharing.* I too have felt a connection to my Grandpa that passed on at 44 before I was born. He is with me always, I have his eyes. 😻
Something similar happened to me. My grandfather passed away when I was very young. A few years ago we planned to convert my parents wedding and engagement tapes onto CDs. To our surprise those same tapes also included hours of footage taken by my late grandfather of his everyday life. It was such a sweet rememberence that he was still there with us.
you look so much like your dad! and in the clips when he was in the white suit you can tell you guys have a similar goofy personality. i loved this video!!!
Your dad was quite the entertainer, lol, I see where you get your personality from! So cool for you to share this with us! My dad died unexpectedly at 53 of a heart attack so I can relate to what happened to your grandfather.
I think you feel so connected because you have your grandpas soul. After he passed on his soul went to you. I truly believe our souls move on too different family members as we pass on.
Kathleen I don't know if you'll read this message or not, but I just turned 45 and you're so lucky to have those and trust me cherish them. I've lost my entire family by the time I was 19 parents grandparents everyone. And unfortunately I don't have any photos to cherish so you are so lucky and I see that you know that. You're pretty special person and although you look young you're very smart well-spoken and mature for your age. Happy holidays to you and Danny and all your little pups and your family.
I AM Literally CRYING. I feel like everyone thinks of different things when they see this footage. For me, it's that everyone deserves a chance at a better life. My parents were immigrants and they worked hard, and just seeing this footage of the three kids and everyone running around in the patchy snow and laughing and so excited, it makes my heart break a thousand times to think of families denied that kind of happiness and sense of appreciation and excitement. God bless THAT USA
Awe Happy Anniversary to you and Danny.....7 years Wow, major achievement even thou you still look about 17.... You'll really appreciate when you get to my age (48) lol....once again my day is on hold cos Kathleen is here to Light up my Life.....yahhhhhh..... Lots of luv&hugs from Ireland ......xPx
I def believe in reincarnation. Your grandfather passed before you were conceived and I believe that's why you have such a connection with him bc his soul was reborn when you were born. Your grandpa was extremely handsome
You're so right. I lost my grandfather when I was 12ish and my grandmother about a year and a half ago. Now in my early 30s, I put together a slideshow of photos/video of her when she was young through to her later years for the services. I wanted us all to see that even though in her later years (she had dementia) she had lost much, if not all, of what made her who she was - a tiny, feisty, little Italian spitfire - that we should remember and celebrate the life she lived and who she was, rather than dwell on the sad later years when she just wasn't herself in any way. I had just 3 or 4 clips of just a couple seconds each that a family member dug up of them at their wedding and family events. Having those clips of them so young, laughing, and celebrating big and small things in life is something I cherish so much. It was and still is SO hard to watch but I am so happy to have those tiny snippets on record. As a photographer, I'm partial to photos but there's nothing like having those moving clips despite their lack of sound and horrible quality.
It's a big possibility that you feel this connection to him, without physically meeting him, because you knew each other before you were born. since he passed a year before you were born, your soul could have been with his soul until you were born. I know it depends on your beliefs, but I'm a spiritual person and I truly believe that's a possibility. I've also had dreams like that. My older brother passed away in the womb at 6 months, so I've never met him but always wanted to know who he would be when he was older. Then one night, when I was younger, I had a dream that I was at my cousin's house and they had a framed photo of him on a shelf. I knew it was him because he looked so much like my family but it wasn't anyone I knew. I've only had two dreams as vivid as that so I know it was real, like some kind of communication. also, what I wouldn't give to have footage of my mom like that. :) to have video of the moments I have photos of, would be amazing.
Crystal Lins: that’s what I was thinking too!!! I do believe our souls know each other before we are born. I was carrying my oldest son when his great grandpa passed away. One of his first words was, “Papa”, as he pointed to the portrait that my hubby had tattooed of him.
My Mother's father died in a car crash when she was 11 years old. I've always felt a strong connection to him as well. I've only seen a handful of photos of him but I dream about him a lot too. Thank you for making this video. There's been a lot of times where I felt alone in the fact that I miss him, like my family does, but I don't have any memories of him. I can relate to this video a lot. I'm really glad you have these videos so you can see him. You're honesty and sincerity are what I love most about you.
On november 17 i found out that i have bone cancer...i am 19 years old.this has changed me in so many ways.. i live every second that i have...i am not writting this for ur petty..just plz plz plz LIVE dont just exist..life is so small!thank u kathleen..i wish some day that we ll hang out.sorry for my english.
Eve M, I really hope that you get through this terrible infliction....at such a young age you don't deserve it, no one does.....much prayers, luv&hugs from Ireland babes.....xPx

I will keep u in my prayers always Eva m💝💝🙌🙏🙏😇😇😇 love and hugs and kisses from me ans my babies Justin and naya. My daughter is almost 4 and my son is almost 2, xoxox
that footage at the end of your family❤️ I know exactly how you feel when you talk about the connection you have with your grandfather and also about the emotions you get when looking at those videos. All we really have is right now. Life is so unexpected and people seem to forget that. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for sharing this Kathleen. I am 31 and recently lost my mom to cancer. It’s been making me think a lot about how short life is etc. These home videos are precious..there comes a point where memories are all you have of some people and I’m so glad to see you treasuring them :) ❤️
My grandpa died when my father was nine years old. I only know very few stories of what he was like and only a few pictures of him, and when my grandma was still alive she always said my dad was the spitting image and character of him. I, too, have always had this longing to know what he was like... love this video, Kathleen. Thank you for opening up to us. You’re not alone in your feelings ❤️
My grandfather died right after I was born and I have always felt deeply connected to him and have dreamt about him many many times. Never heard someone else say that, you aren't the only one!
Thank you for sharing, it really makes me think about my family and the way I feel about them. Being away at college makes me miss them, and I think about how I am here for them, since I am the first to go to college in my family. Really appreciate how you share your personal stuff with us, it makes me feel like I know you better!
My Great Grandma passed away last Thursday at an amazing age of 91. I've been crying ever since. Luckily, me and my siblings got to share many memories, as did my Dad and my Grandad. Everything seems so raw. She was such a trooper, so determined and brave. Unfortunately I'm dealing with chronic pain at the moment and can hardly leave my bed, therefore I won't be able to say goodbye to her one last time. It honestly breaks my heart. Until her last breath she was asking about me, despite her pain. She was so loving and caring. She is now back in the arms of my Great Grandad❤️ Cherish the loved ones surrounding you, give them your all and make amazing memories❤️❤️❤️ Ps. I'm a mess from writing this, it's natural to cry when your feelings are so pure.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy that you had time with your gr- grandma. I know that she loved you as you loved her. Just know the peace that she is with gr-grandad. She is happy.
Wow Kathleen, amazing memories of days gone by that wont return ....such a treasure to have, I always remember rolling in the grass, fun innocent times of many moons ago. Your grandma was such a looker and your grandpa soooo handsome, and well what can we say about your dad, I got Al Pacino vibes from Scarface.....and boy has he got the rhythm......the man can bust a move.....plain to see where your got your gorgeous looks from.....luv&hugs xPx
I love that you have these memories to watch. I have the same feelings about my granddaddy that passed away from a massive heart attack before I was born. I feel connected to him like I've always known him except I've never met him. I so wish there were videos of him to watch. Thanks for sharing!!
WOW, what a precious gift you have in these videos. And for to share them with us, is just as precious. Keep being you Kathleen, you are truly loved and appreciated because of it. God Bless you and Danny, also Happy Anniversary. Much love
I completely believe in being connected with spirits, even ones you’ve never met physically. My Mom passed away when I was 17 and my Dad passed away when I was 20. I have a baby cousin who is now 2, she would be my Mama’s niece, and we have no doubt that my mama has connected with her. When she was a baby she would randomly start laughing into space and smiling (she was an older baby, not at the young age where babies just smile when they’re sleepy or for no reason) and she looked JUST like my Mama. She came out looking like her and still to this day strongly favors her. It’s something I hope my future kids will have with my parents. It’s so special. I know how much these videos mean to you!! It’s priceless and the feeling is indescribable
I love this video Kathleen. Having that video footage is absolutely priceless. Your grandpa was such a handsome man! It’s nice to see you open up a little bit more and share all of this..love you!
I lost my very very close grandparents this year. One Month apart. They're my world. And I miss them every single day. 😢❤️ Thanksgiving was very hard for me this year because it's the first holiday without them , and I know Christmas is going to be even harder. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤️
Omgosh it is so nice to hear of someone who has these feelings that I do with my nan who passed away when I was 3 and I’m two years older than you! There have been times where I get so emotional and I don’t know why but I start crying thinking of my nan and I didn’t know her. I wish to hear her voice, see her walk and all other things! When I cry for her I wish I would dream about her but never have! It is a real connection we have Kathleen, hold it with you for the rest of your life!
So crazy how life plays out. I have always always looked to TH-cam videos to make me feel better about life when it gets me down... on Wed. Nov. 22nd (your anniversary) I lost my sister in law/one of my bestest friends. I’ve been so down and out I couldn’t even respond to a text let alone get on TH-cam to comfort me... & tonight, the night before we lay her to rest, I looked to some TH-cam videos to calm me down and you posted something so meaningful. God is real. You’ve always been an angel and now it’s truer than ever. Thank you 💛
If someday you're reading through your comments I'd like you to read this. Thank you so much for being so genuine and beautiful in every way, you're definitely my favorite youtuber. This video made me cry so bad, I have been away from my family for 2 years now and I've lost my grandma, uncle, and best friend during these years. There is nothing more important than family, being away alone it's very hard, and memories are what keep me going. Thank you again for sharing your story. 💖💖💖💖
Kathleen I understand you so deeply. I love old videos or photographs from my family, seeing my parents when they were kids or teens, before they were my parents it's such a blessing. It actually makes me really emotional and nostalgic. I'm a 90s kid and even though I'm only 28 I feel life was so much better and happier back then. There was this sense of hope and faith that the future had something great to offer and that eventually everything was going to be okay, that we have lost now a days. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Kathleen. I deeply agree with what you said. Tomorrow is not a guarantee so live ur life cherishing every moment because you never know which one is your last one. I adore you girl! Thanks for uploading even on vacation❤
Kat, i feel the same way about my grandpa! When i was young i would go to my grandmas house and flip through photo albums, mostly ones that had pictures of me. One time i found an album of childhood photos from my grandpa, and it blew my moms and grandmas mind that i could point my grandpa out of all his siblings even though i had never seen him. I’ve always had dreams of my grandpa at different stages of his life, like a lanky brunette little boy when i was young, and later on him as a teenager, adult, older man, etc. when i turned 17 i got a tattoo of lyrics from the song “remember me” by Johnny Cash (his favorite artist) in memorial of my grandpa and my sisters thought i was crazy for it because i had never met him-he died 4 years before i was born. I’ve just always had a weird connection to him and i thought i was alone in feeling this way about a family member that I’ve never met. But, weirdly enough, it feels like he’s always with me, which is why i chose to get “through the sunshine and the shadows” tattooed on my arm (now after i have my baby i plan on my whole upper left arm being dedicated to my grandparents with tattoos that remind me of them).
The footage of your dad and grandpa made me cry. I'm such a daddy's girl so that touched my heart so much. What a sweet thing for you to do for your dad and yourself. Love love love this.
YES!!!!!!! I've always felt connected to my father's mother. She passed away from breast cancer when my father was only 14, so I never got to meet her. I look almost identical to her, and my father said that I remind him of her sometimes with the way that I talk and carry myself. A part of me has always missed her presence even though I never got to be in it. You're not alone.
That was so precious. Thank you SO much for sharing. Your dad was so cute! What a ham! Lol And it's not weird that you feel connected to your grandpa. I think that recurring dream you had about him as a kid was him visiting you. Those dreams are so vivid...different from regular dreams. He obviously feels connected to his grandbaby too...to come all the way from Heaven to see you! Shows how special you are, chiquita banana. You're my favorite. Thanks for doing all you do and for being the person you are. 😘😘
My thoughts exactly! I have very dysfunctional family. We usually don't get along, my family members always focus on things that aren't so important rather than spending quality time together. I don't know why and it makes me very sad. We don't have any traditions in my family, they don't even celebrate Christmas (well, they did when I was very little but not anymore - now we do it because of me, I love Christmas!). I live with my mum and grandmother, but I also know my uncle and my cousin, I have a half-sister (also half-brother but he is awful, not a part of my family anymore, so I often say that I only have a sister). If I'll have a family of my own someday, I'll make sure that is a nice one, though!
OMG this video is everything!!! This just touched me in so many ways! My grandma raised me, and I remember the perfume she use to wear, when she passed away her bottle of perfume was given to me, I will smell it all the time. My husband and I were in an apartment fire (everyone was okay thank the Lord) but all I wanted was her perfume bottle, when we were able to go back in the building months later, my husband came out with her perfume. Treasure the moments you have. ❤️
This is just beautiful! One thing I love about you is that you are so real and sincere and that’s what makes you stand out from all youtubers!!!! You are just different I never met you but it’s like you are my sister I never had!!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
The meaning of your message is so true! Always take photos and videos of your loved ones an cherish the moments you have with them. My parents and brother passed away in a house fire when i was 6 weeks old. I was also there, but my dad saved me by laying on top of me so i wouldn't get burned. I have always felt such a strong connection to them even though i didn't really know them. Thank you so much for sharing this video! Its great to see this side of you💖
My abuelo died when my dad was 15 years old so I never got to meet him. I only know a few stories about how he was as a man and father but that’s it. I feel crazy that I miss him so much and feel like a part of me is missing, especially for a man I’ve never known. They only had two pictures of him because he died in the 70s and they were poor. My tias and abuela always tell me that my dad is a splitting image and personality of my abuelo. It is the only thing that brings me some peace knowing I have my dad still.

These old footage always carry so much emotions even if you don't know the people in them. Thank you for sharing with us. I wish i had such memories of my own family.
I was thinking the same... wish i could have some footage of my grandparents. Loved this video!
My thoughts exactly. All the best :)
Same
I loved that footage of your family, Kath. It feels extra special that you decide to show us.
Also, your dad was extra hyper when he was younger hahaha
Mdi223 he was SAVAGE! and i love it
more like a banana Such a cutie :3
Now we know where Kathleen gets it from 😂♥️
Suzanna SP done, girl. Hope you get your A :)
I MAKE VIDEOS WITH MY TWIN SISTER :)
Life is to short.. you are so right.. my husband died 4 months ago after being sick for 4 years.. he was only 28.. we made every moment count.. and married just 2 weeks before he past away.. it was the best day of my life❤
This video is literally the most special, genuine, and relatable videos I’ve ever seen from a beauty influencer...I feel so connected to u on a much more personal level and it’s just really cool...I’d give anything to have videos of my parents and grandparents like that....so beautiful...,thank u for letting us into ur world in such a personal way....💕💕
Brittany Pemberton completely agree!!
This was wonderful, it really touched my heart!
Brittany Pemberton thank you so so much!!!!! Thanks for being here
I think is quite interesting that your grandpa was waiting for you in a beauty salon. Think 'bout it, isn't it a odd place? But looking at your present seems like your grandpa was kinda leading you towards your future passion and carrear. Amaizing and incredible and lovely
i was thinking the same thing😭
Wow this gave me chills. Amazing, I agree.
I don't know why I cried so much watching these home videos. Thank you so much for sharing it!!!!!!!!!
This gave me chills and made me so emotional??? The footage is so dream like and lovely it doesn't even seem like it actually happened, it's like a movie. Thanks for sharing such an important part of your life. Love you forever Kat
Sorivel Valenzuela thanks for watching!!!
Best video you’ve ever done.
Jade Martinez I agree
Agree.
This is exactly why I love what you put out. You are so genuine. This is one of the most powerful videos put up, especially from a beauty influencer. I confront death on a daily basis with the work that I do and whenever I come home I hold my family tight and tell them just how much I love them. Putting the phone or computer away to really and truly be present in the moment. Thank you so much for sharing.
Kathleen, i wish you knew how many lives you touch through your channel!
tatiannaFBG you all touch my life every day!
So here's the thing Kathleen, I don't know if you've ever noticed me saying this (considering I've commented this so many times on your channel lol) but you are honestly my favourite influencer EVER and I'll tell you why...because you are insanely relatable for the following reasons:
1. Something I came to find out recently about you, your obsession for the zodiac signs...I've always had that too! So personally I'm a Scorpio so you probably know that we aren't supposed to be the best of matches, but we are somehow constantly drawn to each other...thus probably why I'm obsessed with you! lol
2. I suffer from major social anxiety as well...so when I watch you, I never feel like I'm alone and you don't understand how much that means to me
3. I feel weird connections just like you as well...I have this deep connection with my late grandma too (who I was actually named after) but never met so I can totally understand what you mean!
4. I'm an extremely private person too (major Scorpio trait right there lol) so I totally understand that side of you too...so watching this video made me appreciate you even more because I understand it's not easy to put yourself out there!
I could go on and on and on but I think I've typed enough here and I don't wanna bore you lol...just know that you are appreciated Kathleen, love you oh so very much! Never stop being the kind, genuine soul that you are!
- from a weird stranger on the internet! x
Dida's Corner ❤❤❤ love from another weird stranger on the Internet
I really hope she can sees this
dude im a scorpio too and all my significant others have been aquariuses the Scorpio -> Aquarius draw is real
littlemissreeder this is cute!!! I sent it to my bf (the aquarius) and that's exactly how we work that's so cute
Dida's Corner So nice to see that there are many of us “wierd strangers” that have so much in common!
Chicago parks.... they were so important for migrated families in the 50s, 60s, 70s. My grandparents came from Mexico and it's hard not to find pictures of the kids in them. Beautiful footage Kathleen. Beautiful family.
This video- ALL THE FEELS. Time really does fly at an amazingly fast speed. Really makes you think. We all take time for granted I think. Thank you for sharing something so intimate. ❤️
Krystal Kay Beauty thanks for watching!!
I remember you saying in a previous video that you personally feel like you look like your dad even though a lot of people don't agree. Um, these videos of your dad as a child looks SO MUCH like you! Your love for family is so prevalent, and I'm thankful that you express that love often. It's a nice reminder to cherish our family because, as you said, life is so short.
For some reason I just didn't want the footage to end. My grandpa also passed before I met him, so this brought me some kind of closure that I never knew I needed💓 Gracias por compartir un pedacito de tu vida con nostros Kathleen 😘
That footage...😭😭😭😭😭😍😍🙏❤
I'm not as personally close to a youtuber as I am to you. You have no idea who I am, I am just a subscriber to you but you're like my family, my sister. I couldn't help but feel upset when I read you cried and everytime you smile I genuinely feel happy. I don't know why I'm typing this either but just wanted to let you know, I'm here for you always, just like our subbie family is with you always!!
I want to thank you for sharing these memories with us!! I teared up while listening to you...
Also congratulations on 7th year of marriage!!
Namita Mohile awww thank you so much!!!! This comment made me so happy!!
KathleenLights That made my day!! I'm really happy I could make YOU happy. Thankyou for your response... sorry to be mushy but your simple reply really made my day better!❤
Wow kathleen...This story about your grandfather is beautiful. Its crazy, but I was born Dec 17th, 1989. Wow, just wow.
Oh man, I really enjoyed this video!!! Similarly, my greatgrandpa passed away before I was born. My great-grandma raised me until I was 5 and she used to tell me all these stories about my great-grandpa. Shortly after my great-grandma passed away, I had a vivid dream of my great-grandpa pushing me on a swing for a good couple hours. When I told him I want to go back home, he looked very sad and that he has to return to the church (or smth like that) and that he cannot come with me. I didn't think too much of the dream after then. THEN, when I was 10, I was going through family pictures of my dad when he was really young and I saw my great-grandpa and I got goosebumps immediately because he was exactly what I have dreamed of. Mind you, I have never seen his pictures before this time. He was wearing the same grey top hat as well. I think he wanted to show himself to me when my great-grandma passed away and I was missing her so much. I am a scientist, but it's incredible how so many things cannot be proven or explained. :) thank you so much for sharing your family videos
elle That is so cool!
Thank you for sharing this with us Kathleen ❤
omg, loved seeing the old footage!!
That's amazing. I wish I had some videos of my grandparents and parents. Ur dad is goof ball. I love it!
The videos at the end are so touching. Thank you for sharing a piece of you!
I can relate to what you're talking about 100%. My grandma (my mom's momma) died four months before my birth. She was with my mom the entire time of her pregnancy and hoped to stay long enough to hold me. Sadly she passed away sooner than expected. Turns out I'm the spitting image of my grandma: her face, body shape, her walk, her personality... and I'm the only one in the family to take after her. I never met her, have very few pictures of her and only own a small video of a family celebration where she walks in a garden with one of my cousins. This connection you feel, I've felt it my entire life and I can't really explain it. It just feels good, as if I carry her in me somehow. She just couldn't leave me alone.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one feeling this way, and I know how emotional that can make you.
The real question here is why am I crying at Kathleen’s old footage of her family 😂 I’m a psycho.
I loved seeing the old footage! I always felt that special connection with my grandma too even though she died when I was 2 and I never really knew her, so I know exactly what you are talking about. ♥️
Her new collab is called Dream St (assumption from what she’s shared) she’s talking about how much this dream she has had means to her, and she also talked about the date, December 17 so if I’m not mistaken....which I totally could be obviously BUT maybe her collab will drop December 17 in memory of her grandfather who she never met but has had dreams of. Love it love it love it. I totally just started putting pieces together that could be totally wrong but I tried. Lol love it, love this, love u! These clips are awesome, love from Chicago!
Lizbeth Ribota I was hoping it would launch sooner than that, but you might be right. And I would gladly wait until the 17th seeing that it’s a special date to her and her family.
I got so excited to see the photo of it on instagram, but after seeing this video and assuming thats the meaning behind it, that's even more exciting! I hope she really does end up launching on the 17th. It's so amazing to see her accomplishing things like that. I'm so proud of her ❤🙏
Lizbeth Ribota Yaas!!! I think your theory is right! Somebody please tweet this comment to her!!!
Let’s hope that all of these dots are really connected and she launches the 17th bc that’s a great Christmas present, even if it’s to yourself lol....and also, maybe that’s why she decided to get her “17” tattoo when she went to Vegas....love how everything with her is so symbolic she’s amazing!
Why am I so nostalgic watching this family I've never met? 😖
Your Dad was such a funny guy, and your Grandpa? DAAAAAMN 😜 But in all seriousness, this made me pretty emotional too. Thank you for sharing such a private part of your life with us. You're so real, Kathleen 😍
This video made me cry.
Kathleen is such a beautiful person.
What an amazing video!!! That footage was so incredibly touching, even tho I do not know anyone I was watching. What touched me the most was seeing kids outside playing! Not sitting inside on their phone or Xbox etc. Parents outside with their children playing!!! My God, the world was sooooo different back then! I was born in 1969 and this footage was exactly like my childhood!!! Life was so much simpler and slower and compassionate back then. Thank you so much for sharing such a special part of yourself with us.
I'm crying Kathleen. I literally have no words but thank you for sharing this.
My Uncle died from AIDS days before I was born in May of '92. He was my Mom's best friend and they spent every moment together. Even though he was a man, and I am a woman, my Mom says we're so similar in so many ways and have the same loving spirit, which I take as a compliment. I never got the chance to meet him but I've always felt this weird connection and bond with him. I literally cried a little when you said you felt a connection to your Grandpa even though you never met him because I have always had that same feeling with my Uncle and thought I was the only one! I guess there are just some bonds that are meant to be held, no matter what. Love you!
Queen x Christine I'm so so sorry for your loss
my uncle also died from AIDS and i feel the same way. i've never talked to anyone about this feeling but im glad im not the only one
Oh my goodness, Kathleen! This made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal thing with us. I've been subscribed to you since before you hit 500k and this was so special to see, because it's so close to your heart. Happy (late) Anniversary to you and Danny also! God bless you and your family.
Much love xoxo
Your dads soul is infectious ! Loved this video so much! My parents seem to be about the same age as yours and they lost all their home videos, photographs, and year books in a flood decades ago. So I have only seen about one or two photos of them in their teenage years. Watching this made me imagine I was looking at my own family and got me quite emotional. Thanks for sharing such a personal find !! ❤️
When your dad did the eyebrow lift that was so you Kathleen. Beautiful
The footage just made me so emotional I loved it.
I've always felt close and personal to you.. but this video opened me up to another level of a connection. This is by far one of thee best videos you have ever done. So true, genuine, and full of love. Family is so important.. Kathleen thank you for simply being you.. you bring so much happiness to this space.. truly one of the best youtubers ever.. ❤
I always feel like I’m hanging out with a girlfriend when I watch your videos! I definitely need to work on being as natural and easy going as you in my videos! 💗
Natalie Bennett you are girl!!!! Your videos are amazing
That's how I feel about your videos, Natalie ❤️
You’re truly something special. I hope you will always remember that. I’m from China, and that’s really nothing special but I hope you know that you’re not influencing people in the states but all around the world! How cool is that! Favorite you tuber, I actually forgot how I came across your channel, but it’s been 2 years and I’m so so so so so sooooo glad that I diddddddddd
I totally relate to having a strong connection with a relative you never met. My grandmother (my namesake) died six months after I was born. And I've always had this really strong connection with her. Like how you said you get emotional when people talk about your grandfather and you miss him even though you never knew him. I am exactly like that with my grandmother. You are so lucky to have those amazing home videos. Thanks for sharing them with us.
my mom passed away a few weeks after i turned 20, and i get really sad thinking about how my future kids will never meet her. i hope they somehow have a connection to her like you do with your grandfather.❤️
I feel the same way about my dad. He was only 44 when he passed away very suddenly. It was 5 years ago and it still hurts so bad. It makes me so sad that my future kids will never know how special he was. But seeing Kathleen i have hope that maybe they will understand. This video made me very emotional.
I never met either of my grandpas, they passed away when my parents were 9 and 12, and I lost my dad when I was 19. I’m 22 now. And same. I get so sad thinking about the future, my kids, my marriage, my three brothers, and graduating with my bachelors in nursing all without him. This is so special.
I have the exact same thoughts about my father. My daughter was only 2 when he died. He loved her to pieces and thought she could do no wrong and she loved him, but she is now 6 years old and already doesn't remember him because she was so young when he died. It breaks my heart. I wish so badly that she could have him in her life because he made such an amazing impact on my life and he would've done the same for her. :(
Kenetrice Nichole I was 4 when my dad died and i although I don’t “remember” him I got to know him through photos and old clothes he wore. I was always too afraid to ask anyone in my family about him because I thought it would make them upset but when I finally did start asking questions I felt closer to him. Make sure your daughter knows that she can ask you anything. If you have anything left of his let her see it or have it, it honestly really really helps.
My husband's biological grandmother died when his dad was really little due to a bad blood transfusion after giving birth to his dad, I guess back than they didn't know exactly what was wrong with her blood but it was bad, anyways he always felt a connection with her because he was born 2 days after her birthday but was due on her birthday Dec 10th, I'm due with our first daughter Dec 24th but will be having her via c-section on the 19th and we are naming her Eva after his grandmother which supposedly means "gracious giver of life" 😊
*Wow, what a blessing!🎁 Thank you soo much for sharing.*
I too have felt a connection to my Grandpa that passed on at
44 before I was born. He is with me always, I have his eyes. 😻
Something similar happened to me. My grandfather passed away when I was very young. A few years ago we planned to convert my parents wedding and engagement tapes onto CDs. To our surprise those same tapes also included hours of footage taken by my late grandfather of his everyday life. It was such a sweet rememberence that he was still there with us.
Aww I'm tearing up, that was such a beautiful story, Kathleen! Thank you for sharing that with us! Your dad is so silly, and he had some moves!!
LaceyAlexa hamsters&cats hahahah
You’re such a fun person. This video was different and wonderful 🖤
you look so much like your dad! and in the clips when he was in the white suit you can tell you guys have a similar goofy personality. i loved this video!!!
I actually work at a Walgreens, so this makess me so happy we can provide for you and your family! This gave me all the feels so there's that lol
Your dad was quite the entertainer, lol, I see where you get your personality from! So cool for you to share this with us! My dad died unexpectedly at 53 of a heart attack so I can relate to what happened to your grandfather.
I love that you felt comfortable enough with us to share this Kathleen! You are forever my inspiration and I wish nothing but the best for you!
This had me in tears. Your family is so beautiful.
Oh babe I can hear you ramble all day. I love your personality. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
Why am I crying though??? I’ve been thinking all the same things lately. Must just be us aquarians getting all in their feels
Khlo Khlo literally, me too. Been thinking bout the same exact things and crying a lot. Is this a period for aquarians?!
Hey hey! Aquarians don’t have a monopoly on feels! Take it from this Scorpio, I teared up too!
I'm an Aries and I'm often emotional so your point is invalid :)
I think you feel so connected because you have your grandpas soul. After he passed on his soul went to you. I truly believe our souls move on too different family members as we pass on.
Kathleen I don't know if you'll read this message or not, but I just turned 45 and you're so lucky to have those and trust me cherish them. I've lost my entire family by the time I was 19 parents grandparents everyone. And unfortunately I don't have any photos to cherish so you are so lucky and I see that you know that. You're pretty special person and although you look young you're very smart well-spoken and mature for your age. Happy holidays to you and Danny and all your little pups and your family.
Bless you! Happy holidays!!! x
I'm so sorry you went through something like that so young and don't have any photos. You must be a really strong person!
Wow thank you for reaching out to me.. it means a lot.. happy holidays to you and your loved ones. Have blessed days..xoxo
I AM Literally CRYING. I feel like everyone thinks of different things when they see this footage. For me, it's that everyone deserves a chance at a better life. My parents were immigrants and they worked hard, and just seeing this footage of the three kids and everyone running around in the patchy snow and laughing and so excited, it makes my heart break a thousand times to think of families denied that kind of happiness and sense of appreciation and excitement. God bless THAT USA
Awe Happy Anniversary to you and Danny.....7 years Wow, major achievement even thou you still look about 17.... You'll really appreciate when you get to my age (48) lol....once again my day is on hold cos Kathleen is here to Light up my Life.....yahhhhhh..... Lots of luv&hugs from Ireland ......xPx

I def believe in reincarnation. Your grandfather passed before you were conceived and I believe that's why you have such a connection with him bc his soul was reborn when you were born. Your grandpa was extremely handsome
You're so right. I lost my grandfather when I was 12ish and my grandmother about a year and a half ago. Now in my early 30s, I put together a slideshow of photos/video of her when she was young through to her later years for the services. I wanted us all to see that even though in her later years (she had dementia) she had lost much, if not all, of what made her who she was - a tiny, feisty, little Italian spitfire - that we should remember and celebrate the life she lived and who she was, rather than dwell on the sad later years when she just wasn't herself in any way. I had just 3 or 4 clips of just a couple seconds each that a family member dug up of them at their wedding and family events. Having those clips of them so young, laughing, and celebrating big and small things in life is something I cherish so much. It was and still is SO hard to watch but I am so happy to have those tiny snippets on record. As a photographer, I'm partial to photos but there's nothing like having those moving clips despite their lack of sound and horrible quality.
I'm crying oh my god, the clips of your family. So beautiful and pure. Also you look just like your father.
It's a big possibility that you feel this connection to him, without physically meeting him, because you knew each other before you were born. since he passed a year before you were born, your soul could have been with his soul until you were born.
I know it depends on your beliefs, but I'm a spiritual person and I truly believe that's a possibility.
I've also had dreams like that. My older brother passed away in the womb at 6 months, so I've never met him but always wanted to know who he would be when he was older. Then one night, when I was younger, I had a dream that I was at my cousin's house and they had a framed photo of him on a shelf. I knew it was him because he looked so much like my family but it wasn't anyone I knew. I've only had two dreams as vivid as that so I know it was real, like some kind of communication.
also, what I wouldn't give to have footage of my mom like that. :) to have video of the moments I have photos of, would be amazing.
Crystal Lins: that’s what I was thinking too!!! I do believe our souls know each other before we are born. I was carrying my oldest son when his great grandpa passed away. One of his first words was, “Papa”, as he pointed to the portrait that my hubby had tattooed of him.
My Mother's father died in a car crash when she was 11 years old. I've always felt a strong connection to him as well. I've only seen a handful of photos of him but I dream about him a lot too. Thank you for making this video. There's been a lot of times where I felt alone in the fact that I miss him, like my family does, but I don't have any memories of him. I can relate to this video a lot. I'm really glad you have these videos so you can see him. You're honesty and sincerity are what I love most about you.
He's your ancestral guide....
On november 17 i found out that i have bone cancer...i am 19 years old.this has changed me in so many ways.. i live every second that i have...i am not writting this for ur petty..just plz plz plz LIVE dont just exist..life is so small!thank u kathleen..i wish some day that we ll hang out.sorry for my english.

that footage at the end of your family❤️ I know exactly how you feel when you talk about the connection you have with your grandfather and also about the emotions you get when looking at those videos. All we really have is right now. Life is so unexpected and people seem to forget that. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for sharing this Kathleen. I am 31 and recently lost my mom to cancer. It’s been making me think a lot about how short life is etc. These home videos are precious..there comes a point where memories are all you have of some people and I’m so glad to see you treasuring them :) ❤️
love you so so so so so much
Trust me in my channel
My grandpa died when my father was nine years old. I only know very few stories of what he was like and only a few pictures of him, and when my grandma was still alive she always said my dad was the spitting image and character of him. I, too, have always had this longing to know what he was like... love this video, Kathleen. Thank you for opening up to us. You’re not alone in your feelings ❤️
My grandfather died right after I was born and I have always felt deeply connected to him and have dreamt about him many many times. Never heard someone else say that, you aren't the only one!
I loved this video!! It even made me cry! Thank you for sharing this with us Kathleen! ❤️
Thank you for sharing, it really makes me think about my family and the way I feel about them. Being away at college makes me miss them, and I think about how I am here for them, since I am the first to go to college in my family. Really appreciate how you share your personal stuff with us, it makes me feel like I know you better!
My Great Grandma passed away last Thursday at an amazing age of 91. I've been crying ever since. Luckily, me and my siblings got to share many memories, as did my Dad and my Grandad. Everything seems so raw. She was such a trooper, so determined and brave. Unfortunately I'm dealing with chronic pain at the moment and can hardly leave my bed, therefore I won't be able to say goodbye to her one last time. It honestly breaks my heart. Until her last breath she was asking about me, despite her pain. She was so loving and caring. She is now back in the arms of my Great Grandad❤️
Cherish the loved ones surrounding you, give them your all and make amazing memories❤️❤️❤️
Ps. I'm a mess from writing this, it's natural to cry when your feelings are so pure.
Ells Bells i am so sorry for your loss 💕💕
Gandhijis I am so grateful for your kindness. Thank you so so much lovely❤️
Your story is so sad, I wish you all the comfort you can find 😘 (i'm sorry if my english is bad)
I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy that you had time with your gr- grandma. I know that she loved you as you loved her. Just know the peace that she is with gr-grandad. She is happy.
Same here my grandma passed away at 95 just a week ago, so sorry for your loss
I was always told that when a loved one has passed and you see them in your dreams it means that they are with you at that moment.
The moment old clips came up, my eyes started to water... idk why! Thank you for sharing Kathleen
Wow Kathleen, amazing memories of days gone by that wont return ....such a treasure to have, I always remember rolling in the grass, fun innocent times of many moons ago. Your grandma was such a looker and your grandpa soooo handsome, and well what can we say about your dad, I got Al Pacino vibes from Scarface.....and boy has he got the rhythm......the man can bust a move.....plain to see where your got your gorgeous looks from.....luv&hugs xPx
kathleen i cried so much during this. love you omg
Daisy Reyes me too! 😭
I love that you have these memories to watch. I have the same feelings about my granddaddy that passed away from a massive heart attack before I was born. I feel connected to him like I've always known him except I've never met him. I so wish there were videos of him to watch. Thanks for sharing!!
WOW, what a precious gift you have in these videos. And for to share them with us, is just as precious. Keep being you Kathleen, you are truly loved and appreciated because of it. God Bless you and Danny, also Happy Anniversary. Much love
I feel so close to Kathleen when shes talking, its like if im connecting with her😘 LOVE YOU !!!! 💖
I completely believe in being connected with spirits, even ones you’ve never met physically. My Mom passed away when I was 17 and my Dad passed away when I was 20. I have a baby cousin who is now 2, she would be my Mama’s niece, and we have no doubt that my mama has connected with her. When she was a baby she would randomly start laughing into space and smiling (she was an older baby, not at the young age where babies just smile when they’re sleepy or for no reason) and she looked JUST like my Mama. She came out looking like her and still to this day strongly favors her. It’s something I hope my future kids will have with my parents. It’s so special. I know how much these videos mean to you!! It’s priceless and the feeling is indescribable
I love this video Kathleen. Having that video footage is absolutely priceless. Your grandpa was such a handsome man! It’s nice to see you open up a little bit more and share all of this..love you!
I lost my very very close grandparents this year. One Month apart. They're my world. And I miss them every single day. 😢❤️
Thanksgiving was very hard for me this year because it's the first holiday without them , and I know Christmas is going to be even harder. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤️
karina herrera im so sorry for your loss :(
Thank you so much. ❤️ that really means the world to me. Have a beautiful day.
Omgosh it is so nice to hear of someone who has these feelings that I do with my nan who passed away when I was 3 and I’m two years older than you! There have been times where I get so emotional and I don’t know why but I start crying thinking of my nan and I didn’t know her. I wish to hear her voice, see her walk and all other things! When I cry for her I wish I would dream about her but never have! It is a real connection we have Kathleen, hold it with you for the rest of your life!
Congratulations on your 7th anniversary! Have a jolly holiday, Kathleen and wishing you happy days only :) 💕
Those clips at the end were so beautiful! The amount of love that was shown in them few minutes was just so heart warming!
So crazy how life plays out. I have always always looked to TH-cam videos to make me feel better about life when it gets me down... on Wed. Nov. 22nd (your anniversary) I lost my sister in law/one of my bestest friends. I’ve been so down and out I couldn’t even respond to a text let alone get on TH-cam to comfort me... & tonight, the night before we lay her to rest, I looked to some TH-cam videos to calm me down and you posted something so meaningful. God is real. You’ve always been an angel and now it’s truer than ever. Thank you 💛
If someday you're reading through your comments I'd like you to read this. Thank you so much for being so genuine and beautiful in every way, you're definitely my favorite youtuber. This video made me cry so bad, I have been away from my family for 2 years now and I've lost my grandma, uncle, and best friend during these years. There is nothing more important than family, being away alone it's very hard, and memories are what keep me going. Thank you again for sharing your story. 💖💖💖💖
One of my favorite videos you’ve shared with us! Thank you! Your family’s memories are beautiful ❤️
Kathleen I understand you so deeply. I love old videos or photographs from my family, seeing my parents when they were kids or teens, before they were my parents it's such a blessing. It actually makes me really emotional and nostalgic. I'm a 90s kid and even though I'm only 28 I feel life was so much better and happier back then. There was this sense of hope and faith that the future had something great to offer and that eventually everything was going to be okay, that we have lost now a days. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Kathleen. I deeply agree with what you said. Tomorrow is not a guarantee so live ur life cherishing every moment because you never know which one is your last one. I adore you girl! Thanks for uploading even on vacation❤
Kat, i feel the same way about my grandpa! When i was young i would go to my grandmas house and flip through photo albums, mostly ones that had pictures of me. One time i found an album of childhood photos from my grandpa, and it blew my moms and grandmas mind that i could point my grandpa out of all his siblings even though i had never seen him. I’ve always had dreams of my grandpa at different stages of his life, like a lanky brunette little boy when i was young, and later on him as a teenager, adult, older man, etc. when i turned 17 i got a tattoo of lyrics from the song “remember me” by Johnny Cash (his favorite artist) in memorial of my grandpa and my sisters thought i was crazy for it because i had never met him-he died 4 years before i was born. I’ve just always had a weird connection to him and i thought i was alone in feeling this way about a family member that I’ve never met. But, weirdly enough, it feels like he’s always with me, which is why i chose to get “through the sunshine and the shadows” tattooed on my arm (now after i have my baby i plan on my whole upper left arm being dedicated to my grandparents with tattoos that remind me of them).
The footage of your dad and grandpa made me cry. I'm such a daddy's girl so that touched my heart so much. What a sweet thing for you to do for your dad and yourself. Love love love this.
YES!!!!!!! I've always felt connected to my father's mother. She passed away from breast cancer when my father was only 14, so I never got to meet her. I look almost identical to her, and my father said that I remind him of her sometimes with the way that I talk and carry myself. A part of me has always missed her presence even though I never got to be in it. You're not alone.
Also congrats to you and Danny for 7 years of marriage!!!!!!!! XO been watching you from the beginning!!
Omg, you look so much like your father !!! ❤️
That was so precious. Thank you SO much for sharing. Your dad was so cute! What a ham! Lol And it's not weird that you feel connected to your grandpa. I think that recurring dream you had about him as a kid was him visiting you. Those dreams are so vivid...different from regular dreams. He obviously feels connected to his grandbaby too...to come all the way from Heaven to see you! Shows how special you are, chiquita banana. You're my favorite. Thanks for doing all you do and for being the person you are. 😘😘
Thanks for sharing such a personal piece of your life!❣️This really had me emotional and that footage was so amazing to see!😄💛Xx
First of all, your dad was made for the spotlight! Lol. This was so beautiful, Kathleen. Really inspires me to work things out with my own family.
My thoughts exactly! I have very dysfunctional family. We usually don't get along, my family members always focus on things that aren't so important rather than spending quality time together. I don't know why and it makes me very sad. We don't have any traditions in my family, they don't even celebrate Christmas (well, they did when I was very little but not anymore - now we do it because of me, I love Christmas!). I live with my mum and grandmother, but I also know my uncle and my cousin, I have a half-sister (also half-brother but he is awful, not a part of my family anymore, so I often say that I only have a sister). If I'll have a family of my own someday, I'll make sure that is a nice one, though!
OMG this video is everything!!! This just touched me in so many ways! My grandma raised me, and I remember the perfume she use to wear, when she passed away her bottle of perfume was given to me, I will smell it all the time. My husband and I were in an apartment fire (everyone was okay thank the Lord) but all I wanted was her perfume bottle, when we were able to go back in the building months later, my husband came out with her perfume. Treasure the moments you have. ❤️
Kathleen, this is such a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️❤️
This is just beautiful! One thing I love about you is that you are so real and sincere and that’s what makes you stand out from all youtubers!!!! You are just different I never met you but it’s like you are my sister I never had!!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
The meaning of your message is so true! Always take photos and videos of your loved ones an cherish the moments you have with them. My parents and brother passed away in a house fire when i was 6 weeks old. I was also there, but my dad saved me by laying on top of me so i wouldn't get burned. I have always felt such a strong connection to them even though i didn't really know them. Thank you so much for sharing this video! Its great to see this side of you💖
My abuelo died when my dad was 15 years old so I never got to meet him. I only know a few stories about how he was as a man and father but that’s it. I feel crazy that I miss him so much and feel like a part of me is missing, especially for a man I’ve never known. They only had two pictures of him because he died in the 70s and they were poor. My tias and abuela always tell me that my dad is a splitting image and personality of my abuelo. It is the only thing that brings me some peace knowing I have my dad still.
