[@Horizonlotus]

After living on my own for years, a couple weeks ago I finally went to see my parents who live in another state. I thought I was fine being alone, but after seeing them again I realized I was genuinely hurt. I was carrying that pain around for so long that I forgot what it was like to have family. They laughed and spent time with me. They fed me. Most importantly, they finally sat and listened to me, maybe because I finally found the words. Because I've made it farther on my path. I was seen. I didn't know I needed that. I see them now as real people, and it was a beautiful feeling that I didn't know I yearned for. After leaving my mother and father to go to the airport, I started tearing up on the way. I was genuinely shocked at myself. Who am I, to be crying after leaving my parents? This isn't normal for me. And then I remembered: I'm their son.

[@riledmouse4677]

Beautiful.

[@adedayod-one7470]

Yeah, I had this realization when some of my closest friends lost their parents and I realized how much for granted I had been taking them and how much I had paused being their son. I call them every week at the very least and mostly more... I Love them more than I had stopped to consider...

[@CantabileLove]

My dad and i have lived really far away from each other (different continents) for 23 years of my life and im 26, we see each other for 1 o 2 months (vacation) to have our time together every year, it doesn't matter how old i am, i still cry like baby everytime i gotta say goodbye to him in the airport.

She’ll never let you down brother. By the way, you and Preach are two of my favorite humans. I think y’all have experienced more than most will ever and have chosen to turn it in to strength.

[@damnpam8259]

This is one of those weird, wonderful things about social media...watching your favorite YTers grow through their seasons. You guys have matured before our very eyes and it awesome to see. Thank you, Aba, for sharing little peeks inside your everyday. Btw, Mama is absolutely lovely.

[@damonhellstrom5864]

Four years ago I lost my Dad to Cancer, and we weren't close. Now I remember him pretty often, enjoy your time with your mom Aba.

[@erinvasconcellos1]

Aba, I love how you always talk about the benefits of having a platform in terms of what you are able to do for others. The humility and generosity is refreshing! And Preach, that part about having to split from your parents, do your healing and then come back to rebuild the relationship was absolutely inspiring. You put words to what I hadn’t known I was feeling - now it’s time for me to get busy healing so I can reconnect and rebuild. As always, a pleasure!

[@Kenos444]

You guys are the best "influencers" on the internet. I hate that word, but i feel like BOTH of you are doing just that. Sharing your views, experiences and not to forget your comedy. Yall are great

[@MesoCarib]

I agree. And its use is appropriate in this particular situation. I'm grateful that Aba and Preach have _influenced_ my life in healthy, meaningful ways. 🍻🥂

[@liznichols4916]

I feel this so hard. I hope my kids never go "thirsty". A less than ideal relationship with my parents has made me so careful with my children. I wish you the best with your mom Aba.

[@ilikecommenting6849]

Be careful not to be overprotective. It's gonna make them soft and ultimately lead to unhappiness. Children need to understand pain, adversity and how to overcome it.

[@liznichols4916]

@@ilikecommenting6849 Thanks for that. Believe me when I say they do. The world provides plenty of adversity to overcome without needing a poor relationship with me. Trying to protect kids from all pain/consequences is far too common though and definitely not helping the child. I just want to be there for them to say "dang them consequences sucked didn't they? I still love you". That would have meant the world to me.

[@jimmie8101]

I left home at 16. I'm 28 now. I will never see my family again. It makes me so happy that you were able to have this experience. Keep doing what you're doing 🥲

[@icu3869]

Some of us must create our own families. See it for the opportunity it is, this is the hand we’re dealt. Al we can do is play wisely and make the most of reality on its terms. Gratitude is the key to happiness.Take care.

[@gouvyfam]

They might be glad to see you again if it ever crosses your mind to seek them out..

[@sjappiyah4071]

@MyOpinion375Or maybe they’re dead dickhead ? How about we not assume his family dynamic ?

[@judymiller975]

As a mum, I feel like ' Give yourself a break, you were a teenager and shit happened. Now you're older, and her circumstances have changed, yes, you can appreciate her for herself. Have fun together, listen to her, have discussions, and all the while, she's discovering new insights about you.' Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@fallenkafiel42]

I can relate. I'm 35 years old and every Friday me and my grandma do a lot of things together now and I do a lot for her now.

[@B0NES48]

Having a solid, healthy, adult relationship with your parents is always such a heartfelt accomplishment. When you’re young it’s easy to not see things from their pov and to push against because we don’t understand but when that personal growth happens and it changes the relationship, it’s comforting to have them there

[@charmionbrown1202]

Preach saying "I got water" is what I needed to hear 😂😂😂

[@kyddopeness]

“No I got water!” Preach is such a real Nigga for that one! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rari2xx]

I must say after watching you guys since 2020, this channel has made me treat life more with prosperity and integrity. Salute to Aba and Preach, more blessings otw for the both of you 🙏🏾‼️

[@iamthisiam]

2:46 It’s wild humanity has lost track of this. I have an idea of how it happened, but the recovery would be nearly impossible.

[@tudor-vladbeleuta9437]

It just blew my mind: you two guys are like Timon and Pumba, and that's fantastic. They have the same good vibe between them and to the rest of the world. Stay hydrated, Hakuna Matata !

I just love and appreciate how this whole episode is about gratitude. Sometimes we forget to be thankful.

[@zuhayerahnafaziz6956]

The title screamed, "Aba got married" for a moment. Nevertheless, I feel proud for both of you. Stay safe out there traveling.

[@fabstems3388]

Over the past year, I’ve really tried to mend the relationship with my mum. I tried to talk to her more than just shrugging and saying “it’s fine” and honestly, I’m glad I did, I love the moments when me and my mum are just sitting and talking about random shit that happened, or laughing about something together. I really do love her, I’m glad she’s such an amazing and supportive woman and this video reminded me that I should go see her again, I wanna just sit down and spend time with her again…

[@jimdw]

Yes! This hit my heart directly. Similar story, distant from family for years, then reconnected and now nothing is more precious. Thank you both for this perspective & message, the gratitude, the example of emotionally intelligent masculinity & self development that is so desperately needed in the world. 🙏❤️

[@Jennjolie]

This bring tears to my eyes, how much love and devotion Aba has for his mother. Be proud of how much you are able to do for her. Now that you've fulfilled this, give her "you". As much as you can. That'll be the greatest gift. You've done well.

[@Gwadi]

The stat that always shocked me is : In average at age of 18 you already spend 90% of the time you have with your parents. The fact that you can hang out with your mom at 33 is a blessing don't take it any other way ❤

[@codemiesterbeats]

Lost my mom at 49 while I was 33, which sucks but we were pretty close... so reflecting on things I was at least fortunate enough to have more time spent around her than average people.

[@Gwadi]

@@codemiesterbeats I'm sorry for your lost I hope you enjoyed your mom 🙏🏾

[@_.caviar]

Preach if you’re reading this,thank you for what you just said @ 6:40 about separating yourself from family for a good 2 years inorder to better yourself. I am going through the same thing & it bothers me everyday that passes but I have to do this for myself. Thank you.

[@granddaddyotaku636]

"So you're half full, not half empty?" "No... I got water..." Preach 2023 🙏

[@ajfergy5569]

I had a decent childhood but had to live with the fact that my moms selfish decisions put me in a really tough spot mentally for a long time, i had a lot to come to terms with but eventually matured and learned it wasnt worth to NOT have a relationship with my parents, and im really glad i decided i wanted to better those relationships because it has improved my life a lot i think.

[@jvamp78]

I was already feeling good this morning…but “I got water” just elevated my mood to tears of joy bc I’m so thankful for my progress and growth. Life is Good😊

[@ancientmaverick13]

Your mom seems very sweet. I like that you can appreciate what you have and aren’t constantly chasing what others have.

[@adrianchatman5734]

I've noticed that too. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that I actually like hanging out with my mom and my sister. When I was younger it felt like a chore. It's a weird thing. "We drinking." Man that just hits lol.

[@brandonlewis64]

Damn man, imma have to keep experiencing the growth through the KZbin screen. All love from this Trinidad fan 🇹🇹. Proud of you guys. Keep pushing, keep growing, keep hustling. Love.

Your mother is a lovely lady! I am so happy to see this for you. Keep on enjoying this time with her. That glass is refillable. You are doing just fine! 😊

[@Duves]

Preach’s “I Got Water” line needs to be the next merch! That was such a powerful message many of us need to hear and remind ourselves daily! 💯

[@funkymunky]

Don’t sell that shit. Feel it.

These are the things a lot of people take for granted on a regular basis, and thanks to different perspectives and realization it can help bring light to the blessings in our life we should show a little more appreciation for. Shout out to you for bringing your ma up with you, I’m sure she’s extremely grateful 🖖

[@Analysaddict]

whenever I think that you two just cannot become more relatable, more authentic, and more loveable, you just prove me wrong. Happy for you and your mom Aba, it must be a blessing. Wish you both the best, keep it up guys.

[@HuntsDown]

I love that you two are willing to be honest and have these open conversations for everyone to see.

[@ilovebettyboop17]

This is a beautiful moment. And it’s so important to show your appreciation of the small things because truly they matter so much. I’m so glad you have your family Aba. “I got water”-Preach 💚💚💚

I love this little apartment you got, it's giving nostalgia and I love that you got the opportunity to share that with your family!!

[@seochr]

Building a friendship w your parents, not as a child but as adults, is the most beautiful thing! This is the best story to wake up to 🥛🖤

[@MrChefBernard]

Man that hit me when he said. “Oh this is what family is like” my ma passed when I was 16 and I’ve just been doing my own thing since then. And now live 11 hrs from family. Hits hard.

[@CrystalRivasWelcometomyworld]

Happy for Aba! I can relate so much to this. I had a similar realization a few years ago with my mom. She worked all the time growing up, barely saw her. Now that I'm in my 30s and mom has retired, we go out for drinks, chat on the phone for no specific reason and I've gotten an opportunity to see my mom as her own person, and not just as a "mom". It's been cool. When r u doing a show in NYC?

[@johnmartinez-valentin5427]
