Praying for your Mom God bless ,be strong and have faith 🙏
🇵🇭💙
My mom is sick with cancer. I literally watch your videos to find the strength to tend to her without crying, thank you, thank you so much. GOD Bless
Prayers for your strength.
all the best to you and your family ❤
Sending you the best 🙏🏾
I'm so sorry, Marc.
Be strong for her, you're her angel now.
Sending you love and blessings. 😥 💜 🫶
Im very sorry. I couldn't be there for my ma and we just lost her... Either way it really hurts
Hi Chris! I work as a dentist. I would suggest removing grandma's denture at night so that her gums could rest. Also it could help lower the risk of gum inflammation and bacterial growth. God Bless and always stay safe!
And rinse with mouthwash
I like how you relocate her to dining room for meals makes her see 👀 other areas of the house beside the bedroom...lv it!!!
I love that grandma is not cranky and hard to deal with! Always grateful for your love and care
I inspect residential care facilities for the elderly and you could teach classes on providing care and supervision! 👏🏼 you’re doing a great job!
I'd love info on how you got into this field.
Thats pretty lit!
10:10 grandma still sharp. when asked if she is tired-how can i be tired im just lying in bed, its you chris should be tired of helping me all the time. u r still strong grandma.
I am the Grandma at my house. I am 73. Being cared for by my 38 yo daughter and 14 yo granddaughter. ❤ I have recovered from stage 3+ cancer and the unexpected death of my youngest daughter, both this year. I also have major ambulatory problems requiring equipment. You are an inspiration to all of us. ❤ we use Chooseday and Good job .
So sorry to hear about your daughters passing. Congratulations on recovering from the cancer. Sending love from UK 🤗❤️
❤
Bless you. I'm sure they enjoy being with you. I'm sorry about your youngest. I lot my son in 2016. Doesn't get easier we just learn to deal with every day life and miss them.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your youngest daughter, thanks for sharing a bit about your life. Many blessings ❤
God bless sorry for your loss from Arizona ❤️🙏🫶🤗
You don't have to justify your purchases. You deserve some extras. Thanks for taking us along.😊
When I watch your videos I keep thinking about my mom who passed away last year.
She was 79; her body was small and fragile but she had a personality with which I struggled ever since I was a little girl. My mom and I fought frequently and quite intensely so it goes without saying we never had a good relationship and for my well-being, I distanced myself from her even though we lived in the same house. She slowly started needed more and more help and I was so absorbed in my day to day life and in my me wanting to protect emotionally from my mom that I didn't want to help her as often and when I did, I did it reluctantly and I sometimes had a bad attitude towards helping her myself. Still, she was always very well taken care of, even if I was upset about helping her, I always took her wherever she needed, when she needed it, no matter the time.
Seeing you help your grandma makes me feel guilty about how I treated my mom. I wish I had a better relationship with her when it mattered so that in her final days I had taken better care of her, at least, emotionally. Before we rushed her to the hospital, I went to see my mom during my lunch hour at work, made some food for her, and combed her hair into a ponytail. Then, while at the hospital, I barely left her side, if only to go get some food and sleep myself. It was about 1 am when my dad called me on the phone telling us to go see Mom ASAP because the doctors said she wouldn't make it past the night. I held her hand for the full hour until she passed away.
I guess I needed to let it out. Thanks for reading. And thank you for your videos.
I totally get what you are saying. It's ok - you did what you could do and that's ok. Had a similar thing with my mum. Because of her dementia and the fact she was in a home for the last four years (she needed 24hr care) which we visited regularly (weekly or more) I got the chance to have a different, better, relationship with her (which I appreciate not everyone gets to have). Like you was with her at the end. Please don't feel guilty - you did what you needed to do to protect yourself emotionally (I had to do the same when I was younger - my mum could be a challenging character). You were there when it counted and she would have known that and heard your voice.
Taking care of elders can be tough especially with those that have dementia and stuff like that. You did what you could and I’m sure your mother is very glad you took care of her, some people don’t do it because of their relationship and that’s also okay. Whatever you decide to do is what you think is the best (I’m sorry if some of these don’t make sense English isn’t my first language)
You should be very proud of what you did do for her in spite of what you couldnt do. You did what you could, and even if she couldnt show it, deep down she appreciated it.
Words can't express how wonderful you are to care so deeply for your dear grandma. Love you both. ❤❤
NICE!! Keep rolling fellow..... Grandma will be at the finish line to welcome you with that smile
Thank you for your service, Marine. ❤️ 🇺🇲 💙
Grandma is a beautiful lady. Bless you for taking a small time in your life to extend hers. Love you both.
This is what positive, non-toxic masculinity looks like...strength directed towards care and love. You're a role model dude 💪
Thank you for taking care of the old, wish people were more like you.
Amen!
She is such a sweetheart. I really enjoy watching grandma and chris together. She is so thankful for everything he does for her and always thanking him. Bless her heart 97 years old. ❤
Grandma’s Juicy Couture PJ’s are badass!!!
A day in the life of a caregiver. It takes a village. God bless your family as you all pitch in.
So filling orders is like your version of folding napkins. Like grandma, like grandson 🥰
My mum just became bedwridden lately. I watch how much love and care you have for your grandma and i salute you. May God give you the strength to carry on ca ring for her as i pray for strength for me to carry on taking care of her. I have been doing so for almost 10 years now. Take care. So happy that you have created a small biz in honour of your grandma. All the best for your training.
Heart touching video! Ang bait mo Chris! Hangang hanga ako sayo. Ang swerte ng mga magulang mo.
idk if anyone has mentioned this, but seeing the “lip pointing” you do with your grandma is so cool. we mexicans do it too, and it’s nice to see small little things that represent those similarities between us.
also, the sheer dedication we have to our families no matter what. my mom travels states just to care for her father still, and MAN i admire it. keep it up, we’re all here supporting you and grandma! ✨💕
Oh wow! So, lip pointing is what Filipinos inherited from their mexican/ spanish descendants? All filipinos do that, lip point when we want to point at something to someone. 🤣
Salvadorean here...we do it too! 😂
Colombians do it too. 😂
My Dad and grandma are of the same age but Dad passed away before the covid starts and he was bedridden for 4yrs and suffering from dementia before he passed away.
So much appreciation for you Chris 'cause i know the hardships your going thru.
GOD bless you more!❤
Can grandma go out of the house?
She reminds me of my grandma. My grams used to love spending time in the garden.
What a wonderful grandson you are, Chris.
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 YOU ARE NOT ONLY A WONDERFUL GRANDSON, BUT A LOVELY PERSON.
I love you and Grandma!🎉
everybody praises you for taking of grandma which is commendable. I commend you for taking care of yourself. Do you know how many useless people in your age group are on line BEGGING for money for no effort. Chris, you rock at this thing call life.
BUT. YOU ARE GETTING SHORT, IMPATIENT AND COCKY. I suggest a break. please.
People aren't useless. You don't need to put others down to lift Chris up. That's very rude.
This is coming from someone in Chris's age group that works 55 hours a week.
Every single living being is something to someone, regardless of how hard they work according to your rules.
Finally you decided to vlog and we can finally watch longer vids!
You give me strength every day as a caregiver
So impressed with you and your Grandma. Such a wonderful, yet challenging, and loving relationship. You have strong family values, Chris.
You re amazing, I’m a full time care giver for my younger brother, I don’t take time for myself, you showed me if I don’t care of myself, I can’t take care of my brother. Thank you and your inspiring.❤
Grandma is so Blessed to have you.llove watching you guys.Love you grandma.May the Lord always be with you.
I love ur grandma she's like our grandma I am proud of u for taking care of ur grandma love ur videos
Sweet Dreams, Grandma! Tomorrow is Choose Day, literally, lol!❤
I used to do art videos and still have a channel. I gave it up when I started taking care of my dad. I like that you show your daily life and some of what you do to make your videos because most people don't know all the work that goes into research, buying reliable equipment, making content, editing, etc. You're pretty amazing that you have a well laid out routine -- taking care of Grandma, taking care of yourself with healthy food, exercise, your merch business, and doing videos -- wow! It's all a gift from Yahuah God. ☺🥰😇
As a nursing student seeing how elderly are treated in retirement homes breaks my heart. You are doing an honorable service taking care of her❤️ you will be blessed
I’m glad you bought your new cameras because I’m looking forward to more longer videos like this. 😊😊. Beautiful family. ❤❤❤❤
You do such a beautiful job with your granma. She is so sweet & lovable! Blessings to all. 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Awwww loves how he behaves like a baby with grandma 😂❤
God Bless you Chris your doing a wonderful job with grandma and she is so sweet and appreciative god bless her ❤
Thank you for giving us a peek into the world of caregivers. You are amazing.
Sir chris maraming salamat! Namimiss ko tuloy mga lola ko swerte ka dahil kasama mo pa si lola ❤
I love you and grandma! She is so lucky to have you. 😊❤
I love the way she says "we got somewhere to go today" has always won my heart ❤
Keep healthy grandson because grandma needs to so bad god always bless you both 🥰🥰🥰
Sorry to hear about grandma. Praying for her eternal repose. May she rest in eternal peace with our Father. My sympathy to the family.

What a beautiful woman. Your grandma is an inspiration for us Catholic ladies! The bond you two have is amazing.
Your family is so precious. I love they everybody pitches in on the order packing etc! Love the vlogs
Hello Chris,
If you could please consider turning the stickers into magnets of the same size, this would be greatly appreciated.
Sending lots of love to you, Grandma, and Lola!!

Your lovely grandma reminds me of my own mother. Always so thankful and complimentary. She loves you so much.
It’s so awesome of ya to take care of her
I took care of my paraplegic dad until he passed 4 years ago so I truly know what it’s like idk how many times I had to pick him up among other stuff and I’d do it all over again
Now it’s the memories I have to cherish ❤
She will be missed and I will forever think of her when I say Tuesday. Sorry for your loss, prayers, love and respect.
I’m so happy to see you making long-form CZcams videos again. Your relationship with your grandma is so nice. You’re doing a great job, Chris. Looking forward to more videos!
I love watching your vids! Warms my heart. You’re awesome!🩷
I moved in with my 87 year pld mom last year with stage 4 pancreatic cancer..i was her caregiver. She passed in feb. She jept thanking me every day,praising me being such a wonderful daughter yet she was the gift to me..i picked her up exactly as u.I miss her horribly
You’re amazing! I wish we had someone like you in our family for our Lola.🙏🏼😢
I really like really enjoyed watching this kind of video 😊 I hope you can do more like these. Thank you!
I have spent years of my life as a caregiver, you are beautiful man. This connection and love is real, when memory fails, the heart prevails. Such a beautiful soul you both share through lineage, props to you for keeping that alive. What you have is real! A character that can’t be taught. Much love to y’all and the internet’s grandma :)

You are doing an awesome job with your GMA. You can feel the love and connection between you two. ❤️💜❤️💜
Thank you, you're a good grandson God Bless You Chris ❤️
After I pass the board exams and get a job, I'm definitely buying your merch!!
It's incredibly healing to see these videos, both short and longform. Thank you for sharing your days and routines as banal as they may be to you. They bring me warmth and comfort.
My father passed away a year ago, and I never had the strength to stay as his full-time caregiver. It eats at me often, though I try to remember that I was only 18-22 at the time, fresh out of high school, and burnt out. If only I had found you sooner.
Stay strong and healthy Chris and Grandma..
I'll say a Rosary for you grandma in the morning
Love your grandma! She's so full of care! Your doing pretty good with all that !!
I am so happy you started the vlogs I love your sweet grandma and the tender care you give her

Grandma's flying high now!!!God bless you and everyone in the family 🙏
How lucky grandma is to have such great loving care. It's amazing. ❤
I need to get my grandma a “you are strong “shirt . A couple month back I left a comment on one of ur videos stating my grandma was dying . But a miracle happened she is still alive. But now she’s facing new and difficult challenges ☹️ at this moment she’s back in the hospital.

Love seeing grandma, my momis 89 but lives across country so dont get to see her often.
May God bless you, grandma, and your family ALWAYS ❤
Your grandma has the sweetest disposition! What a blessing you are to her and your family.
Inspiring ❤. Can you take her out for a drive? 🎉
Thanks for posting Chris...goodluck with everything, I'm praying for the best! 🩷🤞🙏🏼
Does grandma get bored alone in bed during the day? Is she able to go for joy rides in the car? She is so precious! You too!
I was thinking that surely she can be comfy in the living room!
I can tell she would love to get outside now and then (I would say at least once a week ) by the fact that in this one day she mentioned are we going anywhere like 2 or 3 times.
@@faithahora true! I noticed that too!
you got this half marathon in the bag!
It looks so tiring watching your day in a life but you don't show it because you love it. Imagine doing that everyday and yet you have time to squeezed a little time alone for yourself and you picking up your brother too in between. You're amazing! 😊❤
Thanks for letting us inside your life with Grandma!! I am so glad you are taking care of yourself. And I hope you are building your future because one day God will take her home. ❤
For sure , you will have a good and stable life ahead , excellent management of your time , makes a worthy activity that earns income to complement your main income in the near future - survival mode . Everything of this. I guess you learn from Grandma while taking care of you as you grew in her care. Values learned and earned even without the flourish of YT. Congrats🎉
That voice. That voice is what gets me. I didn’t know that voice could be shared across elderly who are physically weak. I miss my grandma 👵🏽
Grandma reminds me of my grandma. I miss her everyday. Keep up the good work taking care of her.
You are blessed to care for your grandma, may you always stay humble and kind, your grandma loves you and you her, Thanks for sharing, may God bless always
Kaluguran na kang Grandma. Dakal mu namang lugud kaya.
Maranting quang 'public influencer' globally. By means of your vlog Christ! surely dakal or dadakal ing youth na mag-challenge quing 'care-giving' God bless u more and more powerful 'strenght' 😊🙏👍
