    As a first-generation Vietnamese growing up in Canada, I'm often ashamed by how much Vietnamese culture I have lost as I've grown older and become more immersed in the west. But, coming across your videos has helped develop my Vietnamese and sparked a passion for me to stay tight with my heritage. Thank you!!

    may you rest in peace

    Kim's story is my favorite 😊. Im so happy you made an update video!
    The lady with glasses, pulled back hair, blue flowers on shirt: I get the feeling she's the gossiper lady of the neighborhood. The type that can say some pretty nasty stuff.
    She really shouldn't say Kim's mother always called her stupid. She can just say your mom mentioned you all the time.
    The part where she was saying Kim's mother thought she was 100% dead, cuz if she wasn't dead, then why wouldn't Kim be sending $money back home?, blah blah blah .
    That was hitting below the belt. I think all Asian people know what I m talking about lol; how some of the older generation aunts, etc say things with hidden meanings.
    It may sound nice or in a polite tone, but really, they're actually insulting you 😆.
    You are awesome, Kyle! God sent, to help so many people. 🥰

    • @frankreynolds9418
      @frankreynolds9418 Před 3 lety +17

      Saying that she called her stupid "every single day" over and over was not necessary. That lady was a twat. It sounds like the mother was a bit of a nomad. Moving around often and using false names. Not exactly easy to find. Kim said she came back 10 years ago and hired people to search to no avail. That lady was clearly trying to insult her and it wasn't very hidden. Kim doesn't owe her an explanation for anything. She was a child at the time.

  • @cherylspohr9821
    @cherylspohr9821 Před 4 lety +7

    I am so happy for this update!! I have been wondering how they all were doing. I know she feels one year isn't enough to help with taking care of her mother, but thank goodness she at least had a year! What a blessing it was for her mother to live long enough to see her daughter again! And she got to meet her son-in-law. The sisters are so sweet holding on to each other. I enjoy seeing all of the different food and family gatherings. Her mother had no idea how difficult it was to find her. I'm curious how expensive it is for Kim and her husband to travel there? And what do they do for a living? How often can they go to visit and how long do they usually stay? Have any of the relatives been able to visit them in the US? That would be a fun video to show them where Kim lives etc.

    People on the brink of death has a supernatural sense of the future. Her mum knew deep down that she was coming home so held on till after she arrived and said her good bye. My own mum was the same, she waited for my younger brother to come back from uni and all of us were together before she passed away this year due to cancer.

I watched your video on Pulau Bidong, then your interviews with the refugees from Pulau Galang who were repatriated back to Vietnam, then to Kim's reunion with her family and now this. Thank you so much. I was moved to tears when she finally embraced her mother again. I hope she will forgive herself and be at peace for not being able to be with her mother and to care for her before she passed.

    Kyle, thank you for sharing your mother's story. Like some or even many who landed here on your video, we came across it because we were watching reunion stories and CZcams recommended yours. For some of us, reunions are not possible due to circumstance and or time. In my own situation, there is no one left....and all I've longed for is to have loved ones back, to see them one more time before I can leave peacefully. Your mother's story brought tears of sadness and joy....and a bitter sweet content that nice people like your mother have been able to have this gift of reunification. It warms the heart to see that the families continue to bond. I wish you all continued love and happiness.

Or she was just coping and trying to think of a reason why her daughter was not coming home.

      There's a few more videos of Vietnam coming up..limited run over the next couple of months. But in terms of vlogging and making short docs... I won't stop but it is no longer my main focus in life.
