What a beautiful surprise and moving story, Louise! Sending love ❤️

Crying my eyes out Louise, as an “oldie but goldie” I have literally grown up watching you, and I can’t explain how happy this made me.

Been watching since day 1 and I’m the exact same ! It’s amazing what you can do now xx

[@jadedarlington7899]

I lost my mum at 16, I’m now almost 23. I forgot how she sounded too, so this video really hit me. My mum never made any home videos, or let us record her - she was a master at karaoke. After watching I thought I’d put out a status asking if anyone who knew her had any videos of her, even if it was only to see her on video. My cousin came back with a video- and I heard her voice for the first time in 7 years. Thank you, Louise. If I hadn’t watched this, I wouldn’t have heard her voice again. 💜

I lost my mum when I was 19 and she 39. I am 52 now and re-found the only tape with her voice on. Louise is right...a mum never is forgotten, we will always miss her. Eventhough it doesn‘t hurt that much anymore. Big hugs

I have an audio tape from the 80's where I could hear my mom's voice (died in 1999 when I was 20 yo) and I don't have the courage to listen to it. I am afraid it would destroy me for days. Maybe this video is a sign that now is the time.

[@iz5246]

you may feel better after you have listened to it, take it as a sign, bit if you don't feel ready don't do it, wait for when the time is right, sending loads of love to you.

[@TheRhianeee]

Sending lots of love to you. This may be the sign but don't rush yourself. ❤❤

[@user-fo6kp6nt5b]

if you do this, maybe set aside a day or two to recover, and make sure you know how to take care of yourself afterwards, because you deserve it. it may be nice to let some bottled up tears out, but it's your choice! sending lots of love and encouragement your way

[@briannab4770]

I really think you should, Michaela. :) I understand that the apprehension of something we've buried for so long in an effort to forge forward and avoid discomfort can create such an intense, emotional mystery around something. The buildup to listening to it may be shakey and you feel that apprehension in your belly, but the relief (as well as a slew of other emotions) will feel so cathartic as they burst forth! All metaphorical boxes I've pushed myself to open in my life have been terrifying to approach, but once I've opened them, the beauty and healing and growth that I've experienced is incomparable. Consider that flutter of nerves inside of you as a messenger, indicating that this is something conducive to relief and healing for you. I'm sure you won't regret it.

[@serendipitytwo777]

It's a gift to you. I hope you do listen to it. It may make you feel closer to her? X

[@cherrywallis]

Louise - this was so wonderful, and moving. Didn't think I'd be crying my eyes out with you this morning. Happy Mothers Day to you, and your mum. 💕

Never usually comment but I think you and your family should be so proud of the fact that despite a difficult start you have fully broken the cycle of trauma and raised both your girls in a safe, honest, supportive, fun environment full of love. they’re going to grow up feeling confident in the knowledge that they grew up with so much love and that’s going to do wonders for their sense of self worth.

First time seeing a Louise video in almost 6 years- she’s still just as lovely and beautiful. I need to go back and watch everything I’ve missed! We love you Louise!

[@LauraCuba]

My mum died when I was 5 and there was little documentation of her because she didn't like the camera. Then I found a VHS and there she was, talking and laughing. I also broke into tears, I didn't remember her voice either. I'm so happy that you recovered this special memory 💛

I wasn’t expecting to cry this early in the day but as soon as her voice came on I burst! It’s so lovely that you have those videos to listen back to, and it’s made me want to video my entire family more and just solidify all of our memories 🤍

[@Louisepentland]

Thank you so much Naomi. Video everything!! Precious memories xxxx

[@kharris424]

Louise, you're entirely correct that you never get over the loss of someone so close to you. My fiance lost his mom almost four years ago and the grief is something he'll live with forever. Happy Mother's Day to you and your mom; she'll live forever in your memory.

[@fashioneyesta]

This was so moving Louise, I feel like our generation takes it for granted that we have cameras on our phones and we constantly film and document everything. But it has only been like that for the last 14 or so years. Which is a wonderful thing for us to have memories. When your children are older they’ll really value everything you have vlogged and documented and treasure those many memories that you have preserved ❤️

[@nellyg7591]

I remember that vlog you did years ago as part of vlogmas where you were so upset outside the graveyard saying you’d forgotten her voice and the complete sadness was heartbreaking. I’m so happy for you to be able to hear her voice, especially her saying your name after all this time xx

[@zeishasjourney]

Aww I remember this too! 🌸

[@kerihoward102]

That video pops into my mind at least once a year-one of the most heartbreakingly raw videos I've ever seen on YT.

I love how you said it, Imagine her doing this house tour in the 80s having no idea it would be listened to by thousands of people. Thank you for sharing this moment 😭🥺

[@michellerose1763]

Something about the cadence of her voice is very similar to yours, Louise.

[@luckypurplebananas]

I was thinking the same, SO heartwarming 😭

[@lucystephens2235]

I heard my dads voice at Christmas he died 25 years ago of cancer he used to write his own poetry and he recorded them onto two audio cassettes, I borrowed an old personal stereo and I heard his voice 😊 I too had forgotten what he sounded like, it was like a release I just sobbed and sobbed but I know now I can hear him when ever I want too, I would like to transfer them onto a memory stick but don’t know how to do it :-( Your mum is always around you and she would be very proud of them woman you’ve become x💕

[@hannahburt6794]

This makes me want to make sure I film more family moments rather than taking photos to be able to remember peoples voices and how they move.

[@gwenhughes8650]

Me too! So lucky we have the means to video at almost any moment

[@MissTLCmn]

She sounds like just like you and especially your daughter Darcy, there is something about the way they speak that is the exact same!! So happy for you to have this to comfort you whenever you want to hear it!!

[@cu9199]

I thought the same thing! It sounds like a mix of Darcy and Louise.

[@caitlin329]

The sort of pacing and intonation and the 'way' of speaking is so similar to Darcy especially but also mixed with Louise. It's so interesting.

[@chloenormanton4552]

You can tell how much she loved you by the way she mentions all the little things of yours around the house 💗 love how we can capture moments in time like this

[@JuMixBoox]

What a wonderful gift. Not only to have her voice back and her movements, but also have her talk about you, say your name. I'm sure it felt like a dream, even if your memory of the sound of her voice is gone. I'm looking forward to meeting her, even just through videos. Isn't that, after all, how we know you as well? Most of us have never even met you in person and probably never won't, but we still feel very close to you because of your videos. To be honest, I already feel that way about your mum a bit because of all the lovely stories you've told about her. On here, and in your book. So, yeah. I'm looking forward to meeting her.

[@sassybdassi6686]

[@bethdavies2425]

So sorry that you are going through this, it will be a hard time but your mum will be with you, in you, your memories and in your family and her friends. Learn as much about her as possible, you'll really cherish that knowledge when you're older. And this is a great reminder, that photos and videos will mean so much to much to you. All the best to you and your family.

We lost her to cancer nearly 4 years ago and it hit me right in the feels. Was lovely to hear it, but so hard at the same time. Edit: sat here crying along with you. So, so happy that you got to experience this precious gift, and how amazing for the girls!!

I felt so honoured watching this vulnerable moment. Thank you for being comfortable to share such an important and intimate moment. Yes, I cried with you. I watched my dad’s pain of losing a mother when he was very young and all he has is one black and white picture (well a copy of a picture because there’s a lot of siblings to share it with). This is so beautiful these videos found their way back to you now ❤️❤️

[@laurahalliday5943]

My mum died in 2009, I was 22. Her voice is fading and its heartbreaking for me to think that I won't be able to recall it whenever I want. She hated pictures and videos so there isn't a lot to look back on sadly. I'm so pleased for you to have found this. What a thing to treasure ❤️

Oh my goodness, having watched you for years, and having heard you talk over and over about wanting to capture yourself on film for your own girls just in case something were to happen, and how much it would have meant to you to have footage of your mum - just wow. I'm so moved, and delighted for you Louise.

[@jaclynmistry5719]

Louise, this was so beautiful, I found myself tearing up and crying so often. My Bapa died when I was 5 and I understand your pain. I was too young to remember much of him, but what I do I treasure so much. Recently, one of my uncles found old videos from when my cousins and I were babies, and my Bapa is all over them. He's carrying us, tossing us in the air, playing with us, tying my hair back. It's just so wonderful that we can have these digital reminders of our loved ones now. I'm having to make notes to take more videos of my family and loved ones, so I'll have these things to remember later. And hopefully my children will be able to see them too.

[@elizabethgrace5799]

I had a very similar experience after losing my mom from her disease and death from alzheimer's. I had come across a very old audio 1965 reel to reel tape from my father's boxes. After sending it off to be transfer to another medium...it arrived and I was home alone. allowing me to listen to what was on the tape. which was a newsy taped audio letter she was sending to her parents. She was talking to us children and we answered her questions. It totally took me by surprise how emotional I was, crying. I was able to copy and send these to my siblings. A true treasure for us. Thank you for sharing and being so open.

Darcy is such a sweet, little embodiment of your mother, Louise. Of course you are as well, but what a blessing these videos must be. I wept with you. My mother is declining with an autoimmune disease, and I’m now so aware of how necessary videos of her are. I’m so happy for you.

my mom died from cancer on April 6th, when you said "I don't want to get over this" I felt that, I don't want to forget about her and move on. I can't bring myself to go through her stuff and decide what to keep. I miss her everyday and think about everything I could've done differently and all of my regrets through out our lives together. I'm crying with you because I know exactly how you feel. I see people that look like her and think it's her all the time. It's been a long long month for me. Loss leaves a pain that no one can heal and love leaves a memory that no one can steal. What I would give for one last hug and kiss. Thank you for this.

[@kristinramsey3913]

Lost my mother in 2019 also from cancer. I also feel like I am forgetting what her voice sounds like but every time I call our house number the voicemail message is still her. Never got around to changing it. Even after she died I would call her cell phone just to hear her voice. It will be two years in July since she died and last year I didn’t get to go to her grave for Mother’s Day or her birthday which are both in May cause of the lockdown in my state.

Oh Louise. I'm bawling. Can't even imagine how wonderful it must have felt to hear her say your name. Also I know many people have said it, she does sound so much like Darcy. The was she says certain words, the same kind of infliction in her voice. It's so wonderful.

can't believe how much she sounds like Darcy!! so so incredibly happy for you Louise xx

My mum died when I was 18. I was an ‘86 baby Louise! I have two videos of my mom and I treasure them with every inch of my being! A photo of someone is one thing but, being able to hear her voice whenever I feel sad, is just incredible ❤️

✨ OLDIE BUT GOLDIE HERE ✨ love you so much thank you for sharing

Coming back to say, it is stunning how much Darcy sounds like your mom! She really has her voice and vocal mannerisms it would seem. I think that is so incredibly beautiful ❤️~Krislynner

I lost my brother in 1978. I still haven’t gotten over this loss. I am happy you have had this wonderful gift to share with her granddaughters.

I lost my mum 8 years ago and it beaks my heart that I can’t remember what she sounds like and what I remember of her seems to be fading away! 💔💔 your mum has such a soothing tone! Xxx

How wonderful. You never never forget your mother. And I think that is very normal. Happy Mothers day!

[@anitaford6559]

Oh my dear you have me in tears. Lost my mother in November and your right it is something you don’t want to get over or pass because it’s mom.

Louise. I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. How incredibly special is this for you. 🧡 It's so moving.

[@WhileTheyWereNapping]

thank you for sharing. It really helps me process my own losses. I haven’t ever watched my own wedding because my brothers are in it. I probably need therapy, but I don’t want to relive the pain. one day I’ll be as brave as you.

Beautiful!!!! Things like this always bring a tear to my eye. My mother lost her mom to suicide in 1974 when she was 12. She shares her mother with me as best she can but also doesn’t remember her voice. She’s mentioned a few times that we have some reel to reel tapes with her voice on them. Watch you and how powerful it is to be able to remember and experience a loved one has motivated me to figure out a way to listen to those tapes.

Lost my mum when I was 14 (now very nearly 24) - have always felt so lucky to have had digital videos including her voice especially knowing that you didn't. I'm so glad that you've finally got these videos they must be so so special. Xx

Louise - thank you so much for making this. I lost my mom about 9 months ago. And what you said about not wanting to "get over it" really resonated with me. This loss is still so recent, and I do need to process and recover somewhat to function, but I never want to move on from her. She was too important to me.
