FOUND HER LOST FAMILY (after 43 years) What Happened 2 Years Later? UPDATE! Family Reunion

[@Bella-rz5vh]

Her mom was waiting for her, thats happiness

[@bql3]

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!!

[@justarandomnobody7451]

Too bad we didn't see Kim's husband in this video. He's a very, very good man. Cheers Kyle.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Yeah he's awesome, just like Collingwood.

[@daitran4037]

SilentHotdog28 nah he has teefs though.

[@Codex_0613]

damn, her mom gave it her all, clinging onto her life so that she may one day see her daughter again, and happy that they did now she can rest easy, knowing that her long lost daughter is finally home may you rest in peace

[@avabuzzbee9014]

I think her mom did live a good life and she was able to see her mom before she passed away. That is a great closure there❤️

[@alyssangoc]

Her reunion video is my favorite one 👍🏼👍🏼 it was a very touching video and I’m glad she got to reunite with her mother and families members before her mother pass away. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@johnanderson8096]

So happy this beautiful woman found her family... the hardship/ cruelty she dealt with at an early age is unimaginable... I wish her all the Love and Happiness in the World!!! She deserves that!!!

[@kyleledotnet]

Agreed!! Thanks

[@homelabguide]

You found her daughter after many years separated. Lost her daughter is the most regret of her life. I think her mother finally rest in peace thanks to you.

[@yorkiesweetpea23]

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]

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.

[@buildbuddyplus]

I agree. She was a child during a WAR. A CHILD. Meh gossipy, toxic aunts are to avoid

[@iamdee2615]

True the toxic Aunty who cant keep her mouth shut. Later on who you always see at the Police station

[@miloo3969]

So agreed. Well said 👍👍❤️

[@scotty1404]

Kim is a beautiful spirit, she stands at the head of her family with her sister Thanh. Thanks Kyle

[@LimingLyn]

Kim’s mom was able to die in peace as she was able to see her before she died. That was the greatest blessing. Yes it’s sad you wasn’t in contact sooner, but you gave her the best gift her seeing you before passing. Now you have many family and your cup is overflowing🙆🏽‍♀️

[@JHXgal]

kIM SAID SHE WISH SHE HAD COME SOONER, BUT KIM YOU ARE FORGETTING THE GREATEST GIFT TO TO YOUR MOTHER, WAS THAT GOD ALLOWED HER TO SEE YOU AGAIN AFTER 43 YEAR,S I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT, SHE NOW WAS ABLE TO PASS WITH THAT JOY OF FINDING HER LOST DAUGHTER. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[@kateantihero3838]

She is such a warm and loving person. Seeing her fall right back in with her family and heritage is heart warming.

[@curly6726]

Hands down the renioun video is the best one on KZbin, I remember crying so much for it. Thanks for the update kyle

[@bigmocha4694]

Now the mother is in Heaven, knowing her daughter is alive and well. ♥️

[@waitingisfun]

I'm glad she was able to see her long lost daughter before she passed away.

[@ericamary6778]

Isn't it wonderful that you and Minh fit in like a member of the family?! Lovely to see an update on this story. The music at the end was brilliant. Happy Kim found her entire family X

[@denisesia8099]

I am glad Kim was able to spend time with her mom before the passing. Was the remain on the original video her father?

[@JHXgal]

i too would like to know the out come.of the DNA test

[@redwingprincess]

I was just about to ask that. I would love an update on what happened with that.

[@mamaott]

Oh my god, Kyle, I love this story, this family, and I’m falling in love with Vietnam!! What a gorgeous video. If you talk to her soon, or her family, please tell them how touched I am, and to say thanks for filming it.

[@ecuadorexpat8558]

OMG that beautiful food.. so glad she found her family Thank you Kyle God bless you all.. what a beautiful reunion

[@mrphantastic_]

I love how Minh is your personal driver when you visit VN!!!

[@Legends]

You should get rides from Minh too when you go back! Lol

[@chief7174]

No need to be sad. You gave your mom more than any money could have. You gave her peace. Peace in returning and showing her you never stopped trying to get back home. You were able to hold each other again and be reunited with more family!

[@johnanderson8096]

Thank you SO Much for the update Kyle... Kim is extridinary woman... I wish her story was made into a full length documentary... but you have told her beautiful/ mind numblingly challenging story well... very well indeed!!!

[@christopherqchin4319]

Kyle, you are doing a most wonderful act of love. Most are back with their family again. You make this happen. Thank you Kyle.

[@LiseWrigley]

With grief and loss there is ALWAYS at least one tone deaf person you have to deal with. Like the woman in the flowered shirt. Poor Kim. Sending Kim the hugest hug.

[@claudianeymour63]

She just evil

[@GriJelly]

right, that was so mean. How could she tell Kim that her mother that she hadn't seen had been calling her stupid every day.

[@anhdao4012]

@@GriJelly I’m assuming you’re not from Vietnam. People speak like this all the time. They are really straight forward and we are not really bothered by those words. I think she just reported what the mother said. I hope you could understand the tone. I think the mother was just simpleminded and thought it was easy to find the way back. Or she was just coping and trying to think of a reason why her daughter was not coming home. Perhaps it was simple to think that she had died, or maybe she was stupid, that was why she didn’t come home. Thinking of other reasons could have been more painful.

[@GriJelly]

Im not from Vietnam, I hadn't realized it was normal to be so cold towards someone else. My misunderstanding.

[@LiseWrigley]

@@GriJelly Hugs to you. Yes, the world can be a cold place. May life be good to you. 🌼

[@rangzenla]

Kim is very genuine - beautiful person.

[@PatMunang]

Thanks so much Kyle. 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.

[@sangosister]

Please let her know that her mom always loved her and missed her. That the moment they were reunited was the best and blessed day of her life!! Know that she has passed know that she got to see her baby again, although it was only a yr know that in that yr was the best time of her life!

[@KibahinaxSasuino]

so cute to see them all having fun and celebrating mom's life the way that I'm sure she would have wanted. 💙 a year before that, she didn't know her family and now they're all able to share stories of their childhoods and create new memories with her.

[@yatishafii4976]

Im so glad she found her mum n family. I cried so hard when she found her mum. Thats family love no one can break.

[@alexmederos8221]

The lady from California is really lucky to have found her mom before she died, I’ve learned that in life you have to be grateful because there’s always people living a worst than you😔❤️

[@cherylspohr9821]

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.

[@monicasaenz1736]

Poor Kim, she's mourning for her mom! 😞 She missed out on all those years, because the cruel family that didn't tell her any background info! So sad but happy her mother waited for her! Superb video Kyle! Kim is very grateful for your help and support 😊 so amazing! 🤗 Many blessings! 🙏🏼

[@ragereaver8576]

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.

[@khonghuong2087]

It's so meaningful Kyle. Thank you for keeping this work

[@Hayzelle]

That woman in the white with the blue flowers is so miserable and jealous. Put energy into the family who appreciates you. I’m so happy for you and your sisters, Kim.

[@angel-ff7lw]

Thank you for this update...it's one of my favorite family reunions💖

[@thesoundofmaria]

Sending you lots of love, Kim and Kyle. What a sad yet beautiful story to share with the world.

[@JessicaSalasS]

I LOVE HER STORY. HAPPY ENDING AND GREAT BEGINNINGS . . . . . . XO

[@gannynapenas1579]

I saw the first one and it really shows that with determination and good luck an almost impossible journey could have amazing results.

[@kimd2285]

Another amazing video! Couldn’t hold back the tears. Do more update videos please! Best of luck Kyle! And safe travels.

[@adhiantos]

Thank you for the update Kyle! The reunion is still one of my favourite videos on KZbin ever.

[@theunironicpeasant4266]

Thanks so much for sharing this update video with us! This reunion made me cry buckets lol. I'm so happy to see them again. I'm sad to hear about their mother, though, but the one year celebration is a fascinating tradition.

[@xmynhu83]

This makes me cry every time 😢

[@Jake-dc8yx]

"celebrating their death" is not the right description of this, more like celebrating the life that the person had.

[@Jahalang82]

I always referred to them as a memorial instead

[@richarddaniel1350]

That food looks delicious. I'm so happy for her. Family is everything.

[@stringslinger5504]

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 KZbin 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.

[@sbss924]

Does it hurt her to hear her mother (via the sister) calling her "dumb"-because I think that was probably said more out of pain than anything else? Big huge hug for Ms.Kim-what a beautiful lady.

[@anhdao4012]

[@Jahalang82]

When in Vietnam back in May of 2019, my cousin and aunts held a memorial for my Grandfather also. It was my first one so i didnt know what to expect but my aunts taught me how to fold little boxes used to steam cakes in out of palm leaves. The entire time they told me stories of how my grand parents on both sides treated each other... it was bad.

what do you mean hater

[@milehhphoeva]

@@kyleledotnet maybe because she kept saying how her mother thought she was dead everyday. & How if Phuoc was alive she would've came & visited her mother already, not knowing how difficult she had it in America. Also, how her sister kept saying she was dumb.. Idk, that could be just how her sister is but that's just what I thought at first hearing her sister recall just unkind conversations about her.. Overall, great documentary Kyle, please keep doing what you're doing!!

[@asiaa3024]

@@milehhphoeva I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. She just kept repeating again and again about the mother thinking the daughter must be dead. And dumb and stupid to not come back...not just once but too many times for comfort...that was very awkward and painful to watch...I felt bad for Kim to sit and listen to it...
