as the eldest daughter of immigrant parents, i wanna thank you for always being the voice of how eager of us to let our parents do whatever they want in their lives without worrying about anything. hate to see them grow old and still wanting to work, but as every day passes by we're all coming to that point where their lives can be what they wished for. 💗

[@586bomin]

This is my favorite kind of videos when I realized there are so many people that can relate to the same struggles and experiences. Having Michelle voicing hers and connecting with us through them, it's something I really appreciate as part of this community ❤

[@Izzy-]

I guess I'll be the first immigrant in my family 😂 will surely be moving to US as soon as college finish and I will start working.

[@dr.brightlylyd]

yessss 😭😭

[@hxfgaming1564]

Your dad is a wise man. I admire his attitude - "we have to end it in a good note". wow

[@user-bs6ct5zz6x]

"they say they don't feel as sharp as they used to be and their bodies aren't as strong as they once" - I feel you Michele how much you are eager to love them more as time goes by. It's truthful and courageous that you showed the world how your dad spends his time at work. Thanks for sharing!

[@eshayakha8698]

I don’t know why but the narrative she puts out for her parents really makes me emotional,love you Michele 💗

[@user-er1pe9so8f]

I cry everytime I watch your videos with parents. Your relationship with them is so beautiful, warm and kind💔

[@mirandacheung528]

It’s so touching seeing the interactions between you and your parents. It’s also wonderful that you are already making an exit plan for them, before they are too old. I am sure you and your parents will have more precious moments together after their retirement. ❤ from Hong Kong

[@_bmee]

moments with parents is always so precious

[@momentsofgrace]

mich: "my heart breaks seeing my parents getting older." i get it, we all go through that. let's be there for our parents for once in a while. no matter how much they hurt us (physically or emotionally) remember always that our parents are also learning. ❤

[@robertking1367]

Hi Michelle. Have a good time in Korea with your Mom, visiting your family and pampering yourselves. It was nice seeing your Dad in his workplace, there is something really beautiful about the memories that resurface and are created there. I also think a certain pride is felt when your father sees you there as well. Words can't express it. I hope that the flight is a good one, and you arrive safely and without snow issues to deal with. Take care, I'll be looking forward to your Seoul adventures and, mother-daughter bonding times.

Korean families hit different, the way they care for each other is so wholesome 🥰

[@cliziafarina]

every time you include your parents in your videos I cry like a baby. you all are just so precious, it makes me so emotional!! love you Michelle 💖

[@erikalopez7854]

Mee too! 😢

[@seulalee8896]

부모님과 함께하는 장면들이 너무 따뜻해요. 맨하탄에서 혼자 사시는 모습만 보다가 이렇게 부모님 댁에 와서 계시는 모습도 인상적이에요.

[@stephedd]

nothing beats the joy were felling every week when michelle releases a new video❤

[@shainah.6388]

It absolutely warms my heart to see how much you care for your parents and how close you are to both of them. I unfortunately don’t have a relationship with my dad and my relationship with my mom can be rocky due to my mental health. However I strive to work hard so my mom won’t have to worry as much much about money that we’ve been doing for so long

[@yeripark8807]

I'm just curious, what was your dad's life like before he owned his business? He seems like someone who might have been scholarly- just from looking at the way he talks and carries himself. Love to see that you are spending more time with you parents, Michelle. ❤

[@RR-hi7ij]

I agree and I'm curious too. Her parent seems very wise men! This video is so wholesome.

[@poppycalliope]

The love you have for your parents is so beautiful to see Michelle! I admire their hard work ❤ I know that they are so proud of you ✨️

[@zKodla]

your deep love for your parents shows and dont let anyone tell you otherwise, appreciate u michelle ❤ keep strong!

[@deborahdallas4773]

I love to see you with your parents. I miss my mom so much. I remember the first time I noticed my mom was getting older, it like it happened overnight. Cherish them .❤❤

[@juliannefernandez0304]

michelle this video is so genuine. truly made me cry. you are awesome and so loving

[@gisellel480]

You inspire me to really step back and appreciate the little things. To thank my parents for all that they’ve done for me since coming to the US. They’ve worked hard to set this life up for us and thanking them is just the bare minimum to repaying them back. You are inspirational Michelle, seriously❤

[@gillt5177]

Michelle….Hi from the UK. Thank you for sharing such a special and precious time with your Mom and Dad. It bought tears to my eyes remembering all the special times I had with my parents ❤️ Memories are precious. Take care of yourself

[@onolynavarro6050]

Your parents are awesome people. I’m all in for this wholesome content. Listening to their story and seeing how hardworking they are makes me really emotional 🥹 but in a good way. You’re an awesome daughter Michelle❤ can’t wait for Korea vlog!!!

[@mollycrisostomo1954]

Your parents are blessed to have you as their daughter. They truly raised you well. You are likewise blessed to have parents so supportive and protective of you ❤

[@emerkelly4916]

Your parents seem like the most kind people. You can tell by the way they look at you hoe much they love you and we know how much you love them. Your videos are always so genuine and real. ❤

미쉘 브이로그 옛날부터 봐 왔는데 댓글은 처음 달아보네용,, 옛날에는 뷰티랑 뉴욕 삶이 부러워서 챙겨봤다면 최근 브이로그는 어떤 환경에서 살아왔는지 알게 되는거 같아서 너무 좋아요ㅠ 미국에서 잠깐 유학했을때 주변 1세대 부모들 고생하는 것들이 미쉘 부모님한테 보여서 참 대단하고 멋있다는 생각밖에 안 드네요.. 딸을 위해서의 도전이기도 했겠지만 부모 본인들의 꿈 또한 있었을테니까요. 그걸 해낸 부모들도, 그 밑에서 또 잘 해나가는 미쉘님도 대견합니다❤ 앞으로 더 밝은 미래 응원할게용

[@reahjeanmagbanua4861]

You've became my therapy, Michelle since 2018. Also, you have a great fam!!! love much

[@tazzytee8172]

God bless you what a great daughter you are!! Your parents are AMAZING!!! It shows in the person you have become so thoughtful!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@nataliavargas9477]

Michele I’ve been ffollowing you since forever and honestly the segment with your father, your tiny monologs and the music you chose for it all got in my feelings. You’re so talented girl. Un abrazo ❤️

[@camilaties]

I was so touched after watching this vlog. I feel exaclty the same with my parents. See them agying break my heart indeed 😢 I also have being working hard to offer to my parents a confort life. My dad is already 78 years old but he doesnt want to stop working. I live far from them and when I come home and spend some time with him, he is always so happy sharing what is going on in his work and so on. I felt really connected with this video Michelle. Thank you so much. I wish you a wonderful trip in Korea and all the best for you and your family ❤

I just love her and the way she cares for her parents,dog n friends. I'm so happy you found love with blurry salsa man. N it makes me sad when she's sad because,but I can relate because sometimes we prioritize everything and everyone but ourselves and can't see the beauty of ourselves the way we do others. You're such a breathe of fresh air in the influencer space Michelle,sending you love and light!! 🧿🌹

[@AnhVo-mv7nz]

I love these stories you are sharing about your parents. That is so lovely and touching. I wish your family the best and always want to hear you share more about your life. 😘

[@jayonai]

i really adore how you always help your parents

[@TatianaKurnosova]

This vlog was so touching...💗 I don't know why I'm getting so emotional right now, I guess I just miss my mom these days, even though we aren't really close and usually have completely opposite views on so many things... She's been living in her homecountry for the whole life and I've moved away as soon as I could and never been on the same place for long, except for the past few years when I've been residing in Korea. I catch myself on worrying about her, especially since she's getting older and had lost her husband last year, so she's alone now. I love when you showing your days with your parents. Thank you for being so genuine. Sending hugs ~

[@sonthay22]

[@tatacolica]

I’m sure it breaks your heart seeing the way they’re still working. But as a immigrant myself, I can say that is the way we were unintentionally taught haha It’s great that you can make a lot of things possible (like flying your mom to Korea). I’m sure they appreciate 😊 Sending you lots of great vibes 🫶🏼
