I asked strangers to call someone that they love and tell them that they love them. Some of them called their mom, dad, and siblings, and the reactions were incredible!

How can we show more love to our parents/siblings/friends? Drop your best tips below 👇🏻
They say actions speak louder than words but there’s something about saying I love you. Its the hardest thing to say because pride gets in the way. But just imagine how the person must feel when they HEAR those words. Sometimes words are more powerful than actions, especially in today’s world. People really do NEED to hear it!
From someone who has lost her parents, say I love you, you’ll never know how much you’ll miss them when they are gone, when the possibility of even hearing their voice again is taken away,you’ll wish you’d say it more❤️
😢
Yes! I lost my parents now but I lost my dad when I was 15. I never got to know him as an a person outside of “dad” as you would as an adult, which makes me so sad. I really miss him and my mom and it’s been so long. It never goes away.
If you have a video of them, the AI will generate their voice.
In an Asian household, it was always the mother who would defend the father telling the children... "ohh your Dad loves you but he just does not know how to show it"
I really really love people say “ I love you” with their parents. I was born in the small village and lack of knowledge about that . I haven’t said “ I love you” with them until they died. And now I have been growing up with no parents and I realized that it’s really valuable to say that to them. I said that words to their tombs but they’re no more.
In many cultures, we know we love each other, we just don’t say it out
I lost my mom 2 months ago. She died after a month i moved to abroad. One thing i learned from my mom's death is to express love every chance you get. I wish I hugged my mom longer that day i stepped out of the house to go at the airport and move abroad.
This was awesome! Unfortunately, I’m older and both my parents are gone but I have two sisters that I know want/need to hear this. So….this message is for everyone. I watch alot of Chinese dramas and have learned a few words, I cried when I heard the two Chinese students say Dad, I love you (in their native language). SO COOL! Thanks for the post!
This video could not have been more timely for me. The video made me laugh and cry a little several times. Thank you to the interviewees who were generous and shared their calls to mom and dad - especially the girl at the end who understandably was hesitant about the whole thing!
I resonated with a lot of what these people said about their parents. My dad and I didn't really have the closest relationship and I only got to know more about him as he got older and was on his deathbed. My mom, on the other hand, was really close to me and showed love and affection any time she could. I've told them I love them, they've done so much for me and our family. It was good to hear it from my dad, one who didn't express his emotions much, but as he got older he became looser with his emotions. It's just too bad it took so long to hear it so openly. I knew he loved us, but he was a man of action and not words. My parents have both passed away years ago but the one thing I would suggest to people is to express your love for them often. One day they won't be around anymore. Being a parent now, I know and appreciate how much they sacrificed for our family. Those word to them are what pay it back more than anything you can do or get them, they want to know you appreciate them. I think about my dad often because I feel like there were so many wasted years we didn't have that exchange and it's a big regret of mine.
As a person, who had never had problems with his parents, I can say that being on good terms with your parents and saying you love them, are conoletely different things. Despite having built a nice relationship with them, I struggle to say that I love them. I don't know why, but it's hust how it is.
now is your time to change that second part :D
@@Sprouht getting the child to love the parent is something only the parent can change. This love must be earned. It seems like you have caring parents, but others have parents who gave zero emotional support to their children like mines.
2 years ago, cancer took my dad. Nigerian fathers never say "I Love You", the first time my dad told me he loved me and that he was proud of me, that was the moment I knew he was going to die and I also knew he was aware of the fact that he was going to die as he was a medical doctor, so he just had to say it before he dies. He died a week later after that, he was a great dad. I have a daughter now and I made a promise to myself not be be like the "typical Nigerian father". I will make sure I say it to my daughter and my future kids.
It is so nice that you learned from your father. I'm from the Caribbean, and we show our love by doing (making sure you have a good education, teaching respect for others, how to take care of a home, and many life skills). I think many times our children think that we are hard on them, and when they look at other ,more expressive cultures, they may feel like we don't love them. I struggle to say it in a meaningful way, but I show more if I think someone is being unjust or mean to my children. Then the lioness comes out in me.
I hope that as they grow older and have their own children, they may realize how much we love them, and it shows in the sacrifices we've made for them.
I enjoyed your blog. It was very insightful and inspiring. I will make an effort to express my love . Thank you ❤
difficult to watch this having grown up in an abusive household; however, i am glad to see some people being able to demonstrate the act.
But we change the program with our own kids! My 30 something year old son I'm sure rolls his eyes when I call him to tell him to drive carefully because it's raining :) My own mother would have said "Good, maybe you'll die"...
Thank you for having me! I think there are a lot of things about what our parents do that we sometimes overlook. Although I tried to move out a few years ago, I decided to stay because I'm happier being with them than being with friends. While they're still alive, we should find ways to spend more time with them because we have no idea how much that could make them happy :))
For someone who has never told my dad "I love you" as an adult (now 42), this hits home hard. I literally only just said it to my mum 2 weeks ago when she was helping me through some shit I'm dealing with.
I had tears in my eyes the minute the video started. 😢🥺😓😭
I’m sobbing here. ‘Let go of the resentment’ , hit me the hardest!
Love this episode. It’s so meaningful and inspiring for all. Do more like this one!
Thank you!
It's crazy that my parents never said I love you to me! And I say it to my kids everyday and they really don't care !
I love my mother so much every time I would go to work and come back home I would always kiss her on the cheek. It has been our ongoing thing now and it’s amazing. I should start saying I love her more on a daily basis.
This was just beautiful to watch and brought tears take care
I envy all of you.. Grab every chance you can get to let them know they are loved and cherished.. As much as I want to tell my parents how much they mean to me, they won't hear me anymore...😢
Beautiful video and concept 🌺
Beautiful video ♡ amazing job Will.
This is awesome!!
I have noticed one thing. I do not understand all these different languages they speak but I can hear the tone of voice. Many of the parents who picked up the phone, even after hearing their child's voice, their tone remains flat like they are not so excited to hear from their child. This seems strange to me.
This is really beautiful.
This was beautiful to watch,love and respect you’re parents .My parents are in heaven,I wish had said when they were here.❤❤
Well I’m crying. This is my favorite video so far.
Such a well timed release, Will. In a number of countries around the world it's Father's Day this weekend. A great message to spread at any time, but particularly pertinent to the Dad's looking forward to Father's Day (Yes, me included).
Great Job Brother....
Love & Respect from Dhaka, Bangladesh
Wow, that was an amazing segment. Loved it. God bless.
Thank you ,you just made my day😊
This video is so touching. Thank you for putting it together and thank you to the ones who shared. 💖
Wow very nice .Brilliant idea.
Man, I wish I could have said “I love you mom” before she died last year.
I said to my mom and my kids n spouse more daily but not my dad until his last day n that’s my fist and last time I said “I love you Dad”. It was way too late for this expression. Say I❤U more to ur parents n love ones if u can. Don’t wait or hesitate.
Lovely video! I call my mother and tell I love her every single day!
Really interesting interview
Emotional❤❤❤❤. Great video
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing . A lovely encouraging video . Some years ago in the UK i believe before we had mobile phones for all and you had to use a landline, there was an advert..I forget what they was advertising but it was the dad answering the phone to the daughter or a son and the dad would say hi and the son or daughter would would say hi then silence and then ask for mum . Then they showed you them doing it again but when dad said I’ll go get mum the daughter or son would say no dad how are you etc ..and the dad was so happy ..it was really eye opening . I guess now it’s the question of who’s mobile do you call first ?
I made sure I spent time with my parents and told them I loved them and showed it and when they passed I never felt any guilt or regret over what I’d wished I’d done more of ..unlike some others .I miss them..that don’t change but I’m glad I never took the time with them for granted .
Don't call, just go visit them. IN PERSON and hang out!
I admire your kindness, in such a selfish world anyone could be so helpful to engage people for bring ING love and kindness. But I am a Pakistani Muslim in our society parents takeout of pain to till death care and endeavour to give them happiness and more or less children live effectionately with their parents. But sometimes after marriage now a days they are moving to other places.bit love is always paramount. God bless u
Very touching video. My late parents told me they loved me and I told them I loved them up until their dying days. I'm very fortunate to have been raised knowing that I was loved. Thank you for this video. It made me wish I could call my parents just one more time. - Carla
Sitting here bawling my eyes out...
You have the most genuine videos
I appreciate you
Awesome 👌
You must consider the times though. I grew up in a house that did not say I love you but I understood I was loved and cared for. Everything I needed. Great school system. Beautiful home. Nice clothes. Dad took us kids on one on one dates like a round robin lol. Lately my siblings are into the I love you craze and frankly I'm a little uncomfortable. Yes I love them but it makes me uncomfortable after every conversation is the "love you."
I agree it’s a sacred and special action and emotion but don’t over do it especially just saying it to someone you just met.
this made me cry.
Sprout good channel
I feel content that I was able to say those words to my father before he passed away. Coming from a reserved, ancient culture it can be hard to express those feelings.
I I will never be able to say that to my dad. In middle school he took his job stress out on me in my siblings and be overly harsh if we did something small. He never taught me life skills as he himself lacked socially and just adhered to his cultural norms. Him and my mom were emotionally underdeveloped. Like probably most parents he just had children because he blindly followed society and his parents. He worked a job and did what he did because the script of society is ingrained in his head. He can't imagine another way of living so he can't do anything different. A parent should be someone who guides you and you are comfortable opening up to them. When I think of him I don't feel the closeness I feel when I think of a friend. This is because of his actions. Parents must earn the love of their children. Simply sheltering them and doing the bare minimum does not bring any love.
I love your videos ❤🙌
My mom, September 3rd 2003, onwards 🕊️🕊️
Sadly I can no longer tell them in person 😢 I wish had said it more when they were here. I hope they can hear me in heaven! ❤️❤️
I have a dad is 57 years old and his dad is still alive simply because he eats good foods even though he's a smoker.
Brb crying😭😭
5:07 I've been thinking this for decades now and I'm only 38yo. Life is so short
It was fantastic
It’s so interesting because I’m very big on saying I love you and in fact i dont like when people dont say it back. However, words of affirmation is not my love language I would sometimes be OK with someone not saying I love you too, but showing that they love me through quality time and acts of service which is my love language. For instance, my dad would say things like oh I appreciate you or thank you for doing this for me, but it was very rare that my dad would say I love you too, before he passed away. My mom will say it though
Watching host im always watching you i like your interview ❤❤❤
Beautiful
Best channel on CZcams.
One of my greatest regret in my life is that i did not tell my Mum that i love her when she was alive. Wanted to say it but it's not in my family culture... we always believe that action speaks louder than words.... but i guess words are important too and i know she will definitely appreciate it if she heard it.... Kept thinking i will tell her one day but she suddenly passed away from a heart attack and it was too late.... Mummy I LOVE YOU... till we meet again when my time is up.
This is perfect video. Tks for sharing . Stay connected with me. ❤❤😊😊
Baby Boomer. My parents were African-American/Native-American from the South. I started saying I love you and hugs in college and they eventually did the same until the time they died. As for myself, I always make sure my wife and children know I love them. Life is too short and tomorrow is not promised.
My dad died 6 years ago and I never heard it or told him. I know he did love us by always providing for us but I would be lying if I don't wish he would have at least told us before he died. I would give anything to just hear his voice even if it's to yell at me or tell me how screwed up my life is.
My parents are not alive. But I spent all my life, specially last years, saying "I love you". Do it.
You made me cry again.😠
😂
In india father children are living together lifetime that is real relationship 😊
I love🩵💚🤍🧡💜your channel❣️
🧡🙏
A very important and powerful video Will. I wish my parents were still both here to say I love you one more time. Cheers !
Thanks Bill.
挺有意义的
❤❤❤
You should have parents call their kids and say the same thing..wonder how that would go
Nice 👍👍🤝✔️
We saying it here in Yemen in actions
Saying 'I love you' doesn't stop you or prevent you from doing your best to show your love without saying it! For God sake, it's not rocket science! We need both WORDS and actions. Do BOTH!!! 🙏🙏
😉To these men who are unable tlo show your deep emotions. Youre missing on good relationships.
Nonsense. My mother would have said "Humph, I don't believe in stupid love, don't be so stupid. Crash" Vile woman.
So wholesome!
please and please!
Here comes the waterworks..
Most parent > child relationships are abusive. Love is an involuntary response to virtue, so to say you love someone who has been abusive to you sets a poor standard for any romantic relationship.
Why is it abusive?
@@Scott-kl1sh Many reasons. Look up a free book (available as an audiobook as well) called ''On Truth - The tyranny of illusion'.
i wanna know this universitiy is ？🙃
WHY are all those people holding cell phones?!! No wonder they don't have relationships with live people. Their lives are worthless. I don't do that s**t.
I want to know really bad how it went with the chinese girl
My Dad usually says he loves me and my siblings, as a Nigerian, it is really strange,but he always tells us he loves us,
Miss you Dad, I Love You so Much and Miss you so much.
The vast majority of parents are abusive, this is pretty warped.
Not sure where you are from but that's sad you feel that way
@@Scott-kl1sh
I'm from America.
It's not based on my feelings, it's based on research.
Look into the ace score study, Alice Miller, Daniel mackler, Gabor mate, Bruce Perry, Lloyd demause, gene abel, Stuart Shankar.
What's sad to me is that people cover child abuse up due to their own insecurity/anxiety surrounding the topic.
@@choncoocho1392 what a horrible interpretation, absolutely no academic agrees with your take on the ACE study, stop misrepresenting data. I am sorry that you had a not-so-great relationship with your own parents, but it is not the case for a majority of people.
@@sarimkh
My comment is in line with the creator of the ace study, Vincent j. Felitti.
Don't project your childhood onto me.
@@choncoocho1392Please come back when your IQ reaches double digits and not before. You could not be more wrong. First up, learn the difference between causation and incidence.
