Last day in Bangkok- the sad reality of expat life in Thailand

[@lillyslife]

Dear Mom, You are the greatest inspiration in my life. You have always been there for me when I needed you and you encouraged me to pursue my dreams. I thank God everyday for blessing me with such an amazing mother. I love you so much. Thank you for all the love you have given me.

[@laotouaxiong]

Hello. Can you tag the song???????

[@sjoyful6860]

Love you my sweet daughter. I will return soon, God willing.

[@anthonymcgregor8112]

Lovely respect for your mother 🙏👍

So sad to leave but I will return soon. I love my family and I love Thailand.

[@nambuzz770]

Have a safe flight back home! To be honest I just found out Lilly's channel a few days ago and saw all of her videos posted and I already love her family and especially you! Thailand always welcomes you, so please visit us and be on Lilly's video again. Looking forward to seeing you next time. :)

[@chakaridanukoolkit5554]

คุณเป็นคนดีมากๆรักแม่รักครอบครัวสามีและลูกๆรวมน้ำด้วย คุณดูแลเขาได้อย่างอบอุ่น ขอให้มีความสุขมากๆครับ ติดตามตลอด

[@megancharlotte9884]

I'm a Canadian expat living in Jordan and this video strikes close to home for me. I literally cried tears with you when you were saying goodbye to your mom. The hardest part of being an expat is that no matter where you are in the world you are always missing a loved one - If I am in my home country I am missing my husband, and if I am in Jordan I am missing my family. It never gets any easier saying goodbye, but thank god for technology and being able to keep in touch with our loved ones.

[@rellenr7641]

I cried so much watching

[@deemiller9307]

I'm an Asian expat living in the U.S. and your comments took the words right out of my mouth. Though I'm old enough to be your mom, the mixed feelings have never gone away with time.

[@aldocastanado7511]

seeing Lily's mom you can see where Lily gets her personality and spirit from and what a great influence she was on Lilly . great family .

[@hawaadam784]

Yup. Her mum so strong just like lily

[@NoelleC]

Lilly, you and your mom have such a beautiful, special connection. A mother who constantly encourages you to follow your heart and go after your dreams is truly priceless. 💜

[@laotouaxiong]

Your mom is so chill! Loving seeing Americans who are into other cultures! With all the stuff going on in the USA. This video really helps. Thanks! I sub cause your mom chill lol

[@ijackie479]

The little boy just love his grandma, holding on to her pinky :)

[@amino-acid4919]

I've never seen this kind woman in my life except here... What a good wife and mother... God Bless you. Watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@pattyanan]

Your mom is an angel. Hope to see her back in Thailand again soon!

[@cobracoqui1]

Good mom, good daughter, good grandsons, goodbyes are hardest when living so far away. Sweating my eyeballs.

[@sjoyful6860]

It’s true. So hard to part. Thank you for your kind words.

[@Thomas-ir7dy]

DHL should sponsor this video segment!! She must of been an awesome grandmother for your grandson to cry after you. Make me miss my grandma who passed away 20 years ago.

[@laorcrane1376]

I am Thai that have been in US for 14 years . Your Videos make me miss Thailand and also see current Thailand's situations. Your kids are so cute especially little one with chubby cheeks. Thank you.

[@celiachua6931]

Yes, I agree the little one, Leon looks like to the Mom Lilly. Hope, next baby 👶 Girl looks with her mom. Luke looks like to Wat.. Im A Subscriber To this blogg , wait to reach 500K Subscriber.. GBU all always FR PHillipines

[@chededios1]

I suddenly miss my mom while watching this. We have a very close relationship too. Whenever she comes to visit me and bids goodbye after, I always have separation anxiety. I cry for several days. And now I still keep on missing her, she’s gone for 8 yrs. now. I wish my mom was still alive. You’re so lucky Lilly.

[@marqui1968]

Tears 😭 here too !! Seeing your lovely Mum leave. I lost it , when your dear Luke started to cry. Goodbyes are a killer 😭😭😭 Your Mum is a gem 💎 May her travels be smooth & safe 🙏

[@motimojumder9192]

The ending was really touchy. The way both your Mom and Luke were feeling sad, especially Luk's crying for his grandmother. This is truly special. Long live your Mom.

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

Moms are the best. Dads can be too. Literally crying as I type. I saw my mom today for 20 minutes. We live one hour away in Illinois. She's doing chemo so I can't be close. She cried her eyes out wishing she could touch her grand babies. Sometimes so close could be so far. I told her to touch and rub their heads. Life is too short not to do something you might have wish you did. I told her to make sure she just washed her hands afterwards. The heart is an amazing tool to show the true power of love and touch is an amazing tool for healing. This video touched our hearts. Thank you for sharing your life, candidly.

[@Tpyang81]

Mommy’s are the best! There’s definitely nothing in this world that is closer than Gods love.... wish my mommy was still here. 😭

[@tanchinwatt5111]

Lily's Mom you are so great just like your daughter, you hv a great families and 2 great beautiful grandsons.You should be proud to be grandparents and wish you bon voyage. Comeback again and we all will be happy to see you with your dearest families in Koh Samui...cheers and GBU all

[@junebarnick3089]

I was crying when your Mom left. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

[@sjoyful6860]

Jen and Chom my sweet friends helped me so much.

[@lillyslife]

Love you Mom!

[@tikiwara4371]

You are such a wonderful individual, I love your spirit! You will always be surrounded by decent people I am sure^^. Safe trip and stay safe and sound.

[@bonrobinson735]

Mom Susan, how's the business going? We need to open one of your business here in Atl, Ga. 💜💜💜💜

[@Hmong920920]

Your mom’s love shows that even half way around the world, she still shows love and support to your family and you! Love is just as far as you put in the time!❤️👏💪

[@ginawiggles918]

KZbin. They recommend something....you watch one video, and you're addicted. I have watched at least 10 videos since yesterday and was up until 1am binging. It's morning & this is the first thing I watch. Love the family dynamic, the love story, and learning about growing their business. Amazing how the internet can make a person feel like she is part of another family's life. Susan is the kind of mother I WISH I had when I was growing up. I admit.... I shed a few tears watching this one. Glad KZbin brought us together.

[@lillyslife]

Wow thank you so much Gina!❤️😊🙏🏻

[@ginawiggles918]

@@lillyslife : Aww you're so sweet. I'm here in Laguna CA, and a grandma with a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old little girl. So I did a lot of smiling watching your 2 beautiful babies. Gotta say, "GiGi" sounds so much cuter than "GaGa" which little Owen calls me. ;-D You've hit the jackpot my dear, enjoy every moment of your amazing journey. Thank you for responding.....it was totally unexpected. Blessings to a all.

[@beezelyparker9695]

I only just found your channel when you Mom was in quarantine and been following you since. I don't even know you or Mom but will miss her in your vlogs.. I cried with you. I miss my Mum and our shopping trips in Bangkok. Sadly she passed six years ago at aged 82. She was still travelling with me at her age. But on a happy note next time if you haven't been, take your Mum to Bo Bae Markets where the Prince Palace Hotel is. Hopefully they are still operating but it's a huge wholesale clothes market also. Big Hugs xxx

[@karihanes6342]

This video had me bawling too at the end. You have a sweet GiGi and Mother.

[@allashimko6442]

Hi Lilly and Susan. I've only been watching your vlogs for a week, but it seems to me that I've known you all my life. There is so much love and warmth in your relationship. Take care of each other and try to be together as often as possible. Life is very short and we need to appreciate every day that God has given us.

[@lillyslife]

Thank you so much!

[@salbiahhussain1167]

Your mom so humble and very supportive. She has beautiful and talented daughters . Not only beautiful, polite , frenly and as humble as her. 👍😁

OMG !! This is my life... My daughter lives in Tokyo & we are in Australia.. saying Goodbye is always so hard.. the tears are crazy..... Now Covid has meant no seeing each other for nearly 2 yrs.. last time was October 2019.. and until then we had a pact every 6 months any longer was not ok... ... you are lucky your Mum got to see you during this time.... People don't get how hard it can be....

Cherish your parents every minute you can spare with them DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! My parents passed way to early and miss them dearly

[@lolitagarcia9476]

I cried when Luke is crying especially when you’re mom tried to hug him and said goodbye to Luke. You’re mom is the best mom and she remind me of my mom. You’re a loving and caring daughter. It’s hard to say goodbye but good thing that we have the best technology now that you can always FaceTime with your family. I love your blogs and this is my first time to make a comment. Your husband is a very loving and caring to his family. You have a beautiful family and both of your kids are so handsome and cute. Stay healthy and take care to you and your family 🥰

[@kathycoffman1803]

This episode had me crying at the end. Such a loving family. Cherish these moments. I no longer have my mom and think of her almost daily.

[@minfoongchin8689]

I enjoy watching your family activities, eating Thai foods by the beautiful beaches. Now, with your mom fm America for holiday is even more interesting. She is a modern mum. Great.

[@jomontanee]

Your son and your mom are so precious. ❤️♥️💕💖 And the little one is THE ANGEL!!

[@sarelito9202]

Reminds me of the times my mother used to come and visit me in Italy. It was always so much fun! She was my best friend. I didn't expect her to leave us so early. Beautiful memories of love and adventure. Wish she were still here. Glad you're enjoying yours!

[@ScottHolcomb007]

Awwwwwww! Hoping your husband has a speedy recovery and your mom has a safe trip back stateside and that you'll all see each other soon! I was born in Bangkok and didn't see my mother's side of our family until I was 47 years old. I've been to Thailand visiting family twice and hope to get back when things get back to some semblance of normalcy for us here in the US. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us!

[@lillyslife]

Thank you Scott!

[@stellamariesablay9398]

I felt that deep sadness saying goodbye to your Mom... I know it's not easy to be away from home. but Thailand is now your second home and it's where your love dwells now. Be strong and continue just how well you are nurturing your wonderful life with your husband and two wonderful kids....life goes on and maybe someday you can take your kids & your husband in the U.S.for a trip. I admire you... you have such a good heart... God Bless 😍🤩🥰

[@semiprotita]

Luke seems pretty close with grandma. I can relate when he cried. Back then I used to stay with my grandma during summer vacation and I would cry a lot whenever I go back to the city. I haven't seen her since COVID started and although we do regular video chats, nothing compares to seeing and hugging her tight. I miss her a lot.

[@diseamans6630]

So sad. I lost my mom in April. This will be my first Thanksgiving without her. I'm so thankful that I was blessed to have her and you're so blessed to have Gigi. God bless. 😭❤

[@kollettevan9746]

Nice that your mom is watching Mark Weins....it'd be awesome if you guys do a collaboration video with Mark, his wife Ying, & their son Micah. Micah & Luke would have so much fun together. Luke super sweet he cried & didn't want GG to leave.

[@susanstandard8727]

That wee Luke is such a doll baby! Thank you for your testimony! Thank you for sharing your life! ❤️

[@Miraenda]

I really miss Thailand. My fiancé, who I’ve been dating since August 2016, and I would meet in Thailand each year. He lives in Pakistan and I live in Houston. The U.S. denied our fiancé visa in 2019. We re-applied last year in February, and because of Covid, we have only been able to speak daily on Skype without meeting since October 2019. This video makes me so nostalgic and sad.

[@susandizon236]

You made me cry. I am exactly like you Lily. I am Filipina but living in Canada. The few times i went home to Phillipines i cried a river. Can't leave my mother and siblings. I felt like it's the end of the world. So hard to live in another country 😢 But be strong. Have faith in God and everything will be alright. Wat is such a good father husband and you are blessed with 2 little angels 🙏♥️

[@dusitadew4287]

I'm now here to watch again and crying again. Why am crying? I'm just happy. I like the way your mom and you keep family together. So nice. Now just wait till your mom come back. Thanks.

[@ObduliaRodriguezGutierrez]
