AN EMOTIONAL VLOG | Lydia Elise Millen

[@gingerpetrone]

Lydia, you say this is your worst vlog but I think this was one of the best. The reason I watch you, and I’m sure so many others as well, is because you’re so genuine. Showing your vulnerability outside of the glitz and glamour proves that you are just a normal person who happens to film their life. I think people can forget that your life can be just as hard as everyone else’s despite all the luxuries your job affords you. My mom was just in hospital and it’s so hard to see family members, especially your parents, in that state. I’m wishing your dad a quick and speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing this vlog with us!

[@lydiamillen]

Thank you Lauren! I hope your mum is OK and healing well 🥺🤍

[@princesskaideka]

Sending love and positive thoughts ❤❤❤

[@kayleighjones451]

I couldn't agree more!!!!! Hope you're Mum is okay xxxxxx

[@tenwaystowearit]

Yes. I second all of this. Love your comment Lauren. ✌🏾👏🏾♥️

[@JADE-ov1xd]

Beautifully said….. ❤

[@earthmother45]

Truth Bomb: "You never know what's happening so it's always better to just be kind." 🥰

[@impressyourselfnow]

As a RN it is shocking to the family members as a quadruple bypass is quite an intensive procedure. Your reaction is understandable. This is heavy lifting not just for the patient but for their loved ones. Coming out and being blocked in tip the scales along with the unnecessary unkindness. Kindness is free and so powerful even when you don’t feel it. Big Hugs Lyds, wishing your dad a speedy recovery and beautiful holiday to you , one of my favourite souls on You Tube! Keep shining and know you are changing lives and thought processes for the good of all! ❤. P.S the P.Js are lovely lol

[@fanni24]

I'm gonna be honest, I cried with you. Seeing you sit in that dark parking lot and sharing your emotions with us uncamouflaged really touched me. It's so important to value the small things in life like a good laugh with a family member, those are the really valuable moments! And the reason why you became a part of the very few people I still follow on KZbin is because you're videos are filled with so much joy, laughter, smiles, kindness -- and yes! If you feel better by ripping out that bloody vanity island, do it! Do it now! Because this is what life is about, isn't it, enjoying the journey?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Oh Lydia I cried along with you. It is so difficult to see your family members unwell. Sending you a massive massive hug and a quick recovery for your dad xxx

[@Cfoots03]

Oh Lydia, I’m sooo sorry. We all cried together on this one. There is absolutely nothing for you to say sorry about. You sharing your human experience and vulnerability was brave and a reminder to us all. This time of year can be full of Christmas cheer but there are people also struggling for many different reasons and we should all be kinder. Sending you all the virtual hugs you can handle. ❤❤❤❤

[@jaydenc5739]

Thank you for being so open and honest with us tonight. I’m sure a lot of us cried with you and for you during this video. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery. ❤

[@EmilyRaskett]

I'm glad you're able to open up with us. I'm sending my prayers to your father for a speedy recovery. I hope you feel supported by the community as I'm sure we are all sending our love

[@bynx95]

My dad had a triple bypass 3 months ago and I had the same shocked moment when first seeing him after surgery - we just had to keep telling ourselves this was going to help him and these things heal in time! Wishing your dad a speedy recovery ❤ Ps. There is an angular cushion we got on amazon to elevate his legs when resting in bed, it helps with circulation and all that. My dad finds it helps x - Georgia.

[@annemarieheffernan4482]

Omg this video broke my heart it’s Christmas and your father is in hospital it’s completely understandable never apologise for being you. I love the changes you have made and realise what’s important 🤗🤗

[@SKN1763]

Lydia, my heart goes out to you. I know how this feels. Do not apologize for crying. Surely everyone knows what it’s like to have an emotionally rough day. I hope that your dad is discharged soon and that you will be able to visit your Grandma before long.

[@Lydia-zr2pb]

Your Dad is so lucky to have you. Thank you for sharing.

[@redlantern3371]

Hospitals can be a scary place. But good to remember that they are places of healing and a place where people's lives have been saved. I'm glad you overcame your fears and visited your Dad. Best wishes to him for a good recovery.

[@jenniferterris802]

Sending you a virtual hug, please don't ever apologise for being you, how incredibly brave of you to share you're story with us, I pray your father makes a speedy recovery and please take care, love, light & blessings to you 💕 🙏🏽

[@kimberleysingleton4449]

Don't ever feel you have to apologize for life.😍

[@helenalexander2567]

Lydia Millen you are not an idiot and don’t ever apologise for being you. You speak to others with respect and kindness so please do this to yourself too. You have every right to be upset it’s your dad xxx I’m sending you a big fat hug and get well wishes to your dad xx You are one in a million lots of love xxxxxxxx

[@jmahzi4996]

Dear Lydia, I may be one of your oldest followers but I truly adore you ! This is one of the most endearing and true to life vlogs you’ve done and it was riveting ! I am truly sorry for your fathers illness, and hoping he recovers completely and wholly very soon. Never apologize for showing your emotions, pain and fear to us. It’s what ties us all together- and helps us to relate. I am sorry for what you are going through, truly. It’s hard to watch our parents suffer in any way. Please have a happy Christmas if it’s possible. You are loved and the light you bring is needed more than ever ❤

[@ekaterinaborzikova7668]

Lydia, I cried with you too! Thank you for being open and real with us. All is gonna be ok!!!

[@glenda7846]

Lydia , never apologize for having genuine heartbreaking feelings because you're human. You love your dad and you're honoring him as a daughter should. I am a healthcare worker in the OR and I see the worry/fear some patients and families express. My heart goes out to all!

[@amymcintyre320]

Oh sweetie I would give you the biggest hug. It’s very hard to see our parents in such a vulnerable state. My Dad passed with cancer last year and seeing him slowly go was heartbreaking. We’re never prepared for this kind of emotion. Some people are just a/holes no matter how kind you are to them. Also I’d like to say I think you look fabulous in your hair bands. Keep being you and don’t ever apologise to us for that ❤❤❤

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Dear Lydia, wishing your father a speedy recovery. 👍♥👍

[@uberstevo]

Bless your heart! I wanted to give you a huge hug, seeing you so upset, wishing Daddy Millen a speedy recovery, and sending lots of positive energy to you and your family through a challenging time! 🤍

[@lynnecrawford4740]

This. my heart ached for you. Lydia this is your best vlog to date. Real, raw and emotional. We may not all have the life you have in terms of finances but we all have someone we love just like you do. so relatable.

[@aspen8110]

Wishing your father a fast recovery. ❤ I’m sitting here crying with you, this is the worst part about growing older, you have to see your family go through these changes. But I know how strong you are, no matter how much of a wet blanket you may feel! Sending love to you and your family!

[@anitaclemens2609]

I am very sorry for your father's illness, wishing him a speedy recovery. Many of us have had to deal with sicknesses and even death of our beloved parents which is hard at any age. My parents were always healthy, it was hard to see them suffer at the end. A few weeks ago, my husband had prostate cancer surgery and I went alone to visit him in the hospital every day, his family lived too far away to come see him. I was so scared for him and for myself. He is still recovering right now, and I have had to cancel all our Christmas plans and invitations. Both my cats have passed away recently, so the house was just so empty and quiet without them. It is OK to feel deeply, Lydia, we are there for you. No need to apologize. We get it.

[@karliahwhite4939]

Just so you know, Oxford hospital (and most hospitals) have various visitor car parks that you can pay for - the first 30mins are even free.

[@whoaitsjul]

Thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. It is such a human experience to grieve when someone you love is sick or injured, there is no shame in that. ♥️ Keeping you and your family I my thoughts.

[@emmafriberg9035]

I feel so connected when you share the true you. I always wonder why you or others online appologize for their hair that day or wearing no make up. I feel just more human and connected when you are just you. Sending you a virtual hug ❤

[@paulhunter5524]

Praying for your dad🙏🏽 Hope you have the best Christmas ever!🎄🎉🎊

[@NicoleGiamatti]

I had to roll this back I was crying so much. As a daughter that lost her Dad I felt every part of this moment you chose to share with us. Big hug my friend. Big hug from one daughter to another. May your Dad heal quickly.

[@sue7621]

Never apologise for being upset it’s a natural emotional response! Tears are healing! Breath! We all go through it at times! You need to forgive too otherwise it eats you up! Love and hugs from a Nurse! Love is all we need! 💜❤️💜🤗🙏

[@christawarden3824]

You are NOT an idiot to cry about your father. We have each had 😢times like this. A video is a peak into both your professional life and your personal life. We admire you and want to be the ones to listen in the dark when you need to let all of those feelings out. Be kind to yourself.

[@Nimuetootoo]

Your vulnerability over your father shows just how deeply you care....I'll hold a space in my heart for him, that his recovery is quick and complete.

[@jilll5257]

Lydia, this is so perfectly natural. Your Dad has undergone a major procedure, and it’s been a shock to see him looking vulnerable. My Dad had a quadruple bypass many years ago too, and I was exactly the same as you; emotional, upset and worried. He’ll be well looked after, and it’ll all be ok. Sending lots of love xx

[@tabithafactor]

Oh Lydia, I am an ICU nurse and deal with delirium post general Anaesthesia all day every day. Do not worry your dad will come around, do not take to heart if he says anything to you or the staff, he might not remember any of those moments. If he is confused and delirious do tell him that he is. And keep reassuring him. Play him music that he likes. If he is struggling to sleep get him some noise blocking earphones and eyemasks. Hospitals are noisy and the bright light every now and then does not help sleep deprived patient. All the best. Hope he gets better soon!

[@RJ.Mitchell]

Definitely don’t apologise Lydia, there’s nothing harder then realising that your parents are fragile & aren’t invincible. Hope dad is on the mend & you can all enjoy an even more beautiful Christmas together with a new appreciation of the little things 💕

[@marizolesquivel4348]

Don’t ever apologize for crying.. I appreciate you sharing these moments with us.. It really shows the other side of you not just what you show us.. 😢

[@debbiegreig7079]

Thank you for sharing this vlog with us. There is nothing worse than seeing a loved one in the hospital hooked up to machines etc.....I cried with you. Sending you and your Dad healing hugs and love. 🇨🇦❤

[@satisfyinggift1013]

Praying for your Dad's speedy recovery❤️🙏🏽

[@annettebeauregard97]

oh Lyds..let your body cry. you're definitely not alone with this. you're truly loved

[@racheloates6880]

Oh Lydia when I watched the part of the video with you in the dark, crying on your own I just wanted to be there with you and give you a massive cuddle. I remember going into ICU to see my Mum (age 45) after her brain tumour surgery. There was lots of bleeping, the room was very quiet, she had a drain attached to her forehead for the blood. She looked so helpless. My beautiful, strong Mum who was an ox for us all and who never got ill. She passed away 9 months later. I feel for you so much. Let the tears flow, spend as much time as you can with your Dad. Sending your family love and prayers for his health and recovery xxx

[@lydiamillen]

Oh Rachel, I can’t even imagine the pain of this! Im so so sorry, your wonderful mum 🥺🤍 im sending you all my love xx

[@racheloates6880]

@@lydiamillen thank you so much, she passed 18 years ago, 46 years of age. I was 24, my sisters were 19 and 16. We learnt to stick together and grew up very quickly. We miss her every day. Your Dad knows how much you love and adore him, it's so sad seeing them in a vulnerable way. Am really sending positive thoughts and love to him and your family, and you of course. I got flashed for going through a red light on the way to the hospital to see Mum in her last week with us. At the time I felt more upset about that but on reflection that small upset was covering my deep upset, like you getting blocked in the car park. Extra squeezes for Dad when he comes out of hospital xxx

[@lorinbritt5836]

Sending all the love and prayers for you & your dad ♥️ don’t apologise we love you as you are!

[@hannah50353]

Sorry, that you are going through a rough patch Lidia. I am grateful for what you still uploaded ❤ its ok to be human and be vulnerable; it's essential to be real.

[@lunarfaerie8552]

Your vlogs are always so authentic , this the reason I’ve watched you for so many years. We can’t always expect everything is going to be sunshine and roses because life just doesn’t work that way. Never apologise for being human, or for crying and showing emotion-these are the moments that we can be here as a crutch and support. Very best wishes to your Dad, here’s hoping he has a fast uneventful recovery.

[@VondaSims]

❤ Sending love. Don't be sorry. Gave me tears. Made me wish I were there for you. Remember going through all that with my dad. Glad you have him. Huge hugs.

[@andreaklerides8877]

You are committed to being a real person and a caring daughter, do not apologize for expressing emotion

[@justinesegal4204]

Daer Lydia You don"t have to appologize for crying. I think that it's very courageous of you to share theses emotionnal and difficult moments with us. Many thoughts to you and your family. ❤

[@lydiamillen]

Thank you Justine x

[@athanasialeontarakis6572]

This vlog is real life. I'm glad you chose to share your reality. People don't understand that your job is not who you are. You are human with human emotions.

[@despoinakonstantinidou8494]

All my best wishes to your dad for a speedy recovery Lydia.Merry Christmas!

[@PjTexas]

My heart is with you as your precious father recovers from such a serious procedure. Praying for a rapid recovery in Jesus’ Precious Holy Name. ✝️

[@isezit]

It really is so true that we never know what someone else is going through. I taught this to my children , who are now in 30s and It has helped them many times in life-- to remain kind on their side! May your dad heal up quickly. May I mention that your horse is fabulous and would love to see you show us more of him/ her and share on what you do together etc! Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

[@edelconroy6047]

I can't imagine how lovely your Dad is, wait I can, you are such a sweetheart, kind, caring, funny, loving, loyal, hard-working, a chip off the old block. Thank you for sharing that with us. Christmas can be a tough time for people, but I can't wait to see your Dad cooking pizza in the new pizza oven and enjoying a BBQ on your new patio in 2023. He must be so proud of you and Ali and the fur babies 🤗🤗🤩🌟💖🎄☃️🙏🏽

[@heatheratkins9297]

My Father in law had a triple bypass and a valve at 55 years old. Changed his life and no problems until he died of old age 40 years later. I'm sure your dad will be fine just super stressful for everyone.

[@Ingridnielsenn]

Oh sweet Lydia ❤ thank you for sharing a vulnerable moment with us. Crying isn’t weakness and crying isn’t wrong. Your feelings aren’t wrong and I’m sure all of us that support You endlessly feel honour that you will share these emotions with us, when it’s difficult to share this with even the ones closest to you. Your dad is a trooper and though I can only imagine how you’re feeling, your tears are 100% justified ❤️ despite the fact that you were this sad at some point, I really enjoyed this vlog ❤️

[@hannahloore]

Wishing for a speedy recovery for your dad ❤️ Big virtual hug for you Lydia, sometimes you just need to cry it all out ❤️

[@knutsfordweddinggallery8389]

Your so loved Lydia. Thank you for giving a part of yourself to us via your vlogs. I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery. Merry Xmas to you and Ali and your fur babies xxx

[@sandramann780]

Hi Lydia, my husband had a triple heart. bypass 5 years ago at Papworth and I completely feel for you especially when you see how invasive the surgery was but he’s fine now and I’m sure your dad will come through it with flying colours.👍

[@GmaMom]

Wonderful vlog. Authentic and honest and vulnerable!❤️. It shows you are ‘real’…which is refreshing! My heart breaks when I see how someone can be so unkind during a stressful and emotional time, especially during the Holiday season. I like when you said, “ we never know what someone is going through “. Another thing I have learned in life is ‘ any judgement I make, I will walk through’. And unfortunately, it’s been true. It keeps me mindful when I get frustrated with somebody else’s behavior. Sending you love and support and prayers for your Dad!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

[@brennapetersen8522]

Girl, you're the cutest. You're so humbled, sweet, and down to earth. I hope your life gets a little bit less hectic, but I also appreciate you for being real with us. It makes you more relatable, and it's quite lovely. I hope your dad will continue to get healthier, and I wish you the happiest holiday. I am glad you committed to us, because your videos make my week! Love from America!

[@pearll.7876]

Oh Lyds, this just goes to show that you never know what someone is going through. We’re so harsh on influencers and celebrities online when people are just trying to make it through the day. I’m sorry your dad has been poorly, at the same time it took me back to a time when my own father was sick last year. It’s such a powerless thing to go through. Thank you for sharing yourself even when things aren’t “perfect”. It makes you that much more relatable. I wish you and your family the best through the festive season. ❤

[@Lynnrazz]

Darling, you are an excellent Daughter...🥰 I'm a trauma hospital volunteer - and I'm glad you're having a good cry; it's healing - I've seen the act of a good cry help someone through a terrible moment... you cry, you'll feel better. And listen, from one Daddy's Girl to another, WELL DONE! 💚

[@fitxstella7969]

Definitely cried with you, praying for your dad and your transparency just makes us love you even more!

[@CalebManCity]

Praying your father makes a full and complete recovery. 🙏 Naturally upsetting for you and let the tears flow, they are a safety valve. Biggest of hugs! ❤

[@almatiolina6801]

"You know what? Maybe he had a rough day." (Referring to the rude guy from your storytime) is when I learned yet again why I love your chanel! I always admired you, from the day one I started watching your videos but omg I just can't help it but think that you don't stop to amaze me! We all live and learn and I love your message in this one! Wishing your father a very fast recovery, Lyds! ❤️ P.S. Yes, I cried my eyes out 😭

[@lydiamillen]

🥺 thank you Alma!

[@artsolute_beginner]

Bless you 🥰 My mum has had 3 major heart surgeries over the years, and I’m still never prepared for how she is post-surgery. He’s your dad and it’s totally normal to react with such emotion. It doesn’t matter how old of young you are, seeing your parents in such a vulnerable position is heartbreaking. Keeping him in my prayers 🙏🏼

[@jennijustice7036]

Lydia thank you for always being authentic and genuine! It means more than you may ever know! Have a merry Christmas and Happy new yr! Sending your father positive energy for a speedy recovery!

[@jennifernoonan4221]

This is most treasured video you have done. It’s the vulnerability. It’s the kind of day we can all relate to. Thank you for not scrapping this one ❤ Love to you and yours!

[@miastupid7911]

Dearest Lydia, you definitely inherited your sweet Dad's kindness and you brighten our day with each vlog. Wishing a speedy recovery to him and that you celebrate Christmas with him with joy!

I actually salute you for putting the blog up. You have described a situation so many of us are going through right now and having to deal with rude and inconsiderate people on top of it. There is never *ever* any need to be rude to *anyone*. I sincerely do not care what they've been through that day. This is one of the biggest issues in today's society - everyone feels they're entitled to their own feelings and speaking their own truths all of the bloody time, so much so that they're forgetting about the next person who might have had a relative dying, or a really bad breakup or maybe had devastating news about their *own* health. People make me so angry and I am so incredibly sorry you've had to go through that. Sending you love and hugs, Lydia. I hope you are feeling better now and I hope your dad will have a full and speedy recovery. X

[@alexandracraveiro2091]

Cried along with you in this video 😢❤ I know what it’s like to see a parent in that condition. Sending healing energy to your dear Dad!

[@mahsasabouhi7404]

I’ve been there, it’s not easy, stay strong, praying for your dad ❤❤❤❤

[@Manchitas84]

First off, the intro is NEXT level amazing. The visuals and the music selection make it just something else. It feels personal and festive and emotional. Utterly beautiful. Secondly, I want to say thank you 🙏🏻. For letting us in on the real parts of your life that we all know are there but rarely get to experience in other vlogs. We all have a good cry at home. It’s important for people to know, it doesn’t always have to be great. Goos days and bad days. We are here with you, Lydia! ❤

[@snoble20]

Best vlog ever you are human. My brother had a stroke last week at 42. My mom, aunt, and uncle were in the hospital at the same time earlier this month. To be so vulnerable is ok. We are all in this thing called life TOGETHER! Speedy recovery to your father

[@Neslin75]

Lydia, sending you warm hugs and wishing your Dad a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹. I am so sorry to hear that this guy was so rude in a time where kindness would have gone a long way. A great reminder for us all to be mindful and kind ❤😊

[@frickencarrie]

Lydia, I totally understand your shock and emotion towards your dad’s condition. My dad also had open heart surgery and it was so jarring. My dad has always been very healthy, strong, and truly not the most serious man you’ve met. When I saw him in that state, hooked up to so many monitors, it shows you just how fragile we all are. I’m terribly sorry for the grump you encountered after the hospital. What an insufferable person. Even if he had a terrible day, there is no reason to take it out on another person.

[@michelepillay9347]

Lydia, praying for your dad, that he has a quick recovery… thank you for being so authentic, and sharing moments of real life.. nothing is a show for you, just real life… that’s why I love your blogs💕

[@MeetPenelope]

No need to apologize, dear Lydia. It's very hard to see your parents in the hospital, especially at Christmas time. You nearly broke my heart when you said you couldn't see your Grandma. Best wishes to your Dad and your whole family for a healthy and happy Christmas.🤗🤗🙏🙏

[@nvrgonnabeaninfluencer]

My Dad is also struggling with heart issues and my dog was diagnosed this week with a fatal heart condition. I have been a wreck over the last two weeks and this vlog really felt like you and I were on the exact same page. It felt nice to feel connected and although I am so sorry you and your Dad are going through this, I am so thankful you shared this with us and helped me feel less alone. Crying isn't weakness, it means we're dealing with our feelings!

[@juliebrown8381]

Any time my dad has been in hospital I've cried 😢 it's such an emotional time.Sending healing prayers your fathers way. Family and friends come first always.

[@deseregeraud4749]

Oh sweet Lydia I'm so sorry to hear about your dad I wish him a speedy recovery. You are in my thoughts.

[@ItsmeImalot]

Sending much love to everyone who reads this. Kindness is always the way to go. I wish your Dad a speedy recovery Lydia. Heart surgery is a scary thing but I am sure he will be much better very fast.

[@claireangier3322]

Hi Lydia, I completely understand, I went through the same with my dad about three years ago. It's a such a shock to see someone you love in a hospital wired up to machines etc. We always think our parents, in particular, are immortal and it's a reality check to see them in that situation and environment. But to add insult to injury the idiot you spoke of blocking you in, it's the last straw. When you feel that upset all you want is to go home. 🙏🐾🎄Wishing your dad a speedy recovery. ❤

[@thefashionlady0825]

Praying for your dad’s recovery. My dad was my life. Enjoy and love him ❤❤❤

[@elizabethanne6078]

Sending your father love and a speedy recovery! My stepdad and dad went through the same surgery and they are doing just fine! We love you! Never be ashamed of letting your feelings out!

[@MindyMaeCrochets]

Dear Lydia, PLEASE PLEASE never apologize for being emotional. Your father is at his most vulnerable now and that tears at your heart. Your feelings are valid, normal and human. You are NOT a Debbie Downer. It breaks my heart when you apologize. I am wishing your father a safe and speedy recovery. Know that you are not ever alone in your love of your parents. Even though we are their children, doesn't stop us from worrying about our parents. Merry Christmas!

[@erikaskoch9806]

I’ve been in the same situation with my mother. Sometimes you just need to cry because it’s so jarring to see our the people who have always been strong are now weak and vulnerable. You, your father, and your family are in my prayers.

[@kathydoran6176]

Oh, Lydia, bless your heart, that was not a bad vlog it was excellent and deeply felt.

[@cmbenke]

Aw love. Biggest hugs. I know it’s a lot and it’s a lot to share. You have such a big heart and I appreciate the realness of this. I’ve been there and it’s soo hard. The best for you and your family. Don’t apologize for what you’re going through. ❤️‍🩹

[@gulyaorazgali7037]

Lydia, May your dad get better soon! And you are absolutely stunning without makeup and even after crying 🤍 stress is not chronic, it will be gone. Also, I love all the change you are doing with your style. It is chic country style, classic. 🤍

[@angeliaspinkluggage]

I just came out of heart surgery and the most important thing to me was having family around. My sons unselfishly came every day. My oldest lives 8 hours away came and stayed to be near his mom. That was priceless. I know your dad appreciates you all coming more than you will ever know.

[@drsusieg]

Praying for your dad's full recovery and long, heathy life. Merry Christmas 🌲

[@alanarae2997]

Aww Lydia. I cried too watching this. I've felt that way before and we've all had days like that and don't feel you need to apologize for being real. That man who treated you like that is in excusable. People need to be kinder. I hope your dad a speedy recovery and luckily you have great support around you 💕

[@tenwaystowearit]

Thank you for sharing such intimate moments with us. I pray for a full and immediate recovery for your dad. He sounds like such a sweet man. God bless him. Our dads are like monuments in our lives and they’re so strong and protect everyone else. So it’s hard seeing them vulnerable and unwell. But he is going to be just fine. I can feel it. 💪🏾♥️🙏🏾

[@hannahnimri]

Lyds I have those moments all the time! Life can be so overwhelming sometimes for us open-hearted, softies out here. I think you have such a nice way of reminding people that we are just human and we all go through shit!

[@timesandlaws7095]

You are a good woman. May you be comforted. And sending love to your father.

Wishing your dad a speedy recovery Lydia xx sending love xx as a ccu nurse, it is remarkable to see how quickly people recover post surgery, so hope all goes smoothly xx

[@joselynj443]

Lydia, thank you so much for being brave and showing us one of the tough moments in life. We love you and wish your dad a speedy recovery 💕

[@laimdzina]

Thank you Lydia for such raw and genuine vlog. You helped me to unlock tears I had been withholding for no idea how long. I had such a good cry just now and I'm one of those possibly very few people who look at crying as a form of release. What better way to spend 1st of January morning than to release the old and what doesn't serve me and start realising that what I am longing for and what I do want. So thank you so much. To me it felt like there was no need to apologise. Thank you for everything you are. Happy New Year and warm greetings from Mexican desert.

[@pw4200]

Wishing your dad a speedy recovery. My dad had a quadruple heart bypass when I was a child and obviously I didn't realise the magnitude of it. His chest scar always made me gasp, however! He recovered incredibly well. Also, get that man evicted!!! x

[@lizruffin6641]

Hello Lydia I am lifting your Dad up in prayer for a well recovery. Praying for your strength. I am sure you light up your Dads world with strength when he sees you. May peace be with you.

[@angiecowell5619]

I cried along with you Lydia today, what an ordeal. I have been there in that same situation with my late father many years ago now and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. On top of that you are faced with such a rude person, it’s awful. In a world where you can be anything, just be kind. I have been thinking if you and all will be well lovely. Never apologise, vlogs are vlogs, happy or sad, that’s life. Your content is beautiful and uplifting. Thank you for that. I am writing this in the new year so I am wishing for you and Ali a happy healthy and beautiful 2023. With love x
