[@forestmullens6177]

[@lillian.catherine]

Both of them are :)

[@timlarson6913]

+Dramatic11 Yup. I like it that she is so positive all the time. I like that 😊 anyone else?

[@SuperPipe28]

+Tim Larson To say I like it would be putting it lightly. She's a goddamn ray of sunshine, I love it.

[@muneeraangari3121]

i adore them already

[@nameeramariyam9718]

Her voice (out of many things) is soooooo beautiful.

[@DivyaFindsYou]

It made me so sad and loved to see so much care/affection.. Love them both..! Prayers with you Claire

[@bethanjones9866]

This girl is such a happy ray of sunshine, knowing she's going to die soon is so upsetting.

[@daniellaviolet6207]

Guillaume Huet your English is really good! I'm learning French! :)

[@karlimaerie]

Bethan Jones she's still alive!

[@geetanshikaushik9708]

Karli Pierce how do you know?...she hasn't come online on any social media for an year now.

[@xoxoxoitssrahhhh]

iris west she's active on Twitter still.

[@bekayezme]

Thank you so much for this. My daughter died from cf in 1992 when she was 12. She was born in 1980 before the cf gene was found and before the vest and vitamins and everything. But I wanted to say that thought I watch other cf youtubers, they never have their parents on to ask them how they felt when they found out their child had cf. At the time we found out about our first born daughter, Katrina she was 3 1/2 years old. She started complaining of stomaches and we had her at children's hospital every night for 2 weeks. They kept telling me nothing was wrong with her and that she might being complaining to me to get attention. We were at our wits end to say the least. Then my mom said Katrina was having symptoms of cf. Back in the 60's my mom's friend's daughter died from cf. And, it was at this same time that the book Alex had just come out so I was reading that and I was sure our Katrina had the disease. So I called my pediatrician to say I wanted her tested and he said he did not believe she had it because she was always so healthy, but lo and behold she came out positive. We were devastated to say the least. At that time we only had the library and there we no information about cf. The only thing we could find was that Jimmy the Greek (he was a sports guy) had five children that died from cf. And the cf foundation send us information that gave us no hope. No one else in the family had cf that we knew of. My mother in law actually accused me of giving the disease to my daughter even though we told her her son was a carrier, too. Later, we had them tested and it turns out my husband's father is a carrier. Anyway, when you mom is talking about finding out about you having cf...I'm right there with her. It's terrifying finding out that news of your brand new child. I feel every word she is saying. I cradled Katrina and cried and cried. The poor girl probably thought I was crazy, but my heart broke so bad. And living with the idea that she was gonna have a short life; the doctors giving us no hope at all. Again, thanks to your mom.

[@shesACE]

+Green House Homestead I'm so sorry for your loss, my close friend who was also named Katrina, died a year ago Jan 7th because of congestive heart failure, she was only 23. :(

[@mattmoney6654]

sorry for your loss :(

[@taylorannbicica6389]

So sorry for your loss.

[@msppassion7206]

I am sorry for your loss but your daughter would have been proud of you and all that you've been through.

[@litzyg.9445]

Green House Homestead im sorry for your loss but now she is no longer suffering and now she a beautiful angel in heaven watching over you and you wonderful family R.I.P 💗😇😇

[@jettsetgirl]

could you be any prettier? I mean you have an astoundingly lovely face

[@ryannclarke5271]

why would anyone dislike this?!?! they must be heartless...

[@degi3333]

if they didnt have a heart they wouldnt have been able to dislike the video thus creating a paradox

[@Jake5537t]

Its probably one stupid idiot who used other accounts or bots to dislike

[@Jane24]

I would just like to think that they were watching this on their phone and meant to put the like button but tripped over a rock or a mushroom and hit the unlike button by accident then got distracted and forgot to take it back. :)

[@oelergodt]

Why even focus on it? The ratio of dislikes to like one of the lowest I've seen on any video with this many views. Be happy that there are so many awesome people out there :)

[@christywright5439]

smarticalfacts 16 I think these two buttons are often misunderstood. By clicking Like you are Adding to your Liked Videos. Well perhaps you dont want to do that because its really sad so you press the dislike. You Tube need to change these buttons to 'Give these people a thumbs up" or "This made me feel sad" etc as on Facebook emoticon buttons. What do you think about it?

[@makeupfanatics13]

My uncle had cystic fibrosis as well, you two are very alike in many ways. He was very kind hearted. I just found your videos and you seem so genuinely nice and an overall real person. I want you to know that you're special and to keep living in the moment. My uncle was supposed to die at 5, but lived until he was 42. Keep fighting, girl!☺️

[@bookcreator]

My uncle made it to 43, and they didn't even think he would survive infancy. The CF Foundation even made him the CF Poster Boy one year. Sadly, I never got to meet him, but when I went through my grandparents' things after they passed, I saw all the articles they kept from that time and some of his things. So you are right, there is always hope

[@willemkossen]

Parent here. My son is 10 now. Its been hard. Its difficult, frustrating, time consuming etc. we try living in the moment and enjoy the good things. In between the hardships. Acceptance is still hard even after 10 years.... Thanks for sharing

[@BlackRabbit098]

I see so many parents, patients, and friends of patients comment on her videos and I just wish I could be there for every singe one. I can't say everything will be okay but I hope your son is well and continues to be for years to come, never forget to be thankful and hold on to the little moments

[@ilovekansasandobsessedwith9842]

i hope you and your son will live your lives the funniest and the loveliest way

[@willemkossen]

+beyza yilmaz thank you! We try!

[@husnaa6973]

I hope things get better. ton's of prayers. x

[@user-wb8pp4tk8c]

the "there were so many things I still wanted to tell her" took me from 0 to sobbing in .5 seconds

[@StephaniehasStories]

It's so nice seeing your mom and getting a glimpse into your life at home. It's easy to see that she has so much love for you.

[@hersheybarsam]

Oh gosh this made me cry. You two are so strong. Good on you for learning to enjoy every day you have. You are both so positive.

[@HayleyRobinsonhale]

Omg when your mom started crying ... I was gone lol

[@HaleyNicole]

Wow the bond you two have is so unreal and it is just so touching to watch! You both are very inspiring yet comedic with the way you talk - great qualities :) when your mom said about how she thought "I have so many things I still want to say to her" when you were in a coma, it hit me deep! I felt the same about my dad when he passed away, and then when my mom was in a coma and passed away I thought the same things again - I really didn't learn the first time that I need to always speak my thoughts to my loved ones NOW because this moment may be all we have. Your mom realizing that and then doing it is really admirable!! And to anyone reading this - don't let time pass by, spend time & share your feelings with your loved ones ❤️

[@Sirlie08]

She is really beautiful! :o

[@garciedarling]

what a beautiful , loving, honest relationship

[@ruthiechurch7142]

Her mother, is a great mother....Claire got and still gets alot of strength from her. What a wonderful bond....you can see the love....prayers continue for a cure...lung diseases need research that steps up...and steps up quickly. Blessings....

[@bridgitnutting7840]

i LOVE what she's wearing!!!

[@peeweepixie3655]

You are such a beautiful person and you are so funny! Like seriously, you need to become a stand up comedian or something. Your personality is uplifting and one of a kind! I'm sorry that you have to struggle with a chronic illness :( God bless you and your family! Keep making videos!

[@TheMessage4U]

+Lauren Roy what a kind, uplifting and beautiful comment! May God bless you and you should have a wonderful day! `Peace and Love, *The Message*

[@EmilyCx33]

Ok I'm bawling at work. Gosh you are inspiring. I love your mom. What a great family and heartbreaking that someone with such a good spirit like yours has to go through all of this. You are changing the world though.

[@j4mesmcnei1]

How have I just found out about this amazing young lady. You are so beautiful inside and out. I am dealing with losing the most important person in my life right now, she's still here but she is dying and I know your videos are going to be a huge source of comfort for me. Thank you.

[@yessicamartinez7040]

Wow she's sooooooo beautiful inside and out

[@KateTsanka]

I can't imagine going through the same thing. So glad you can laugh and still make the best of the situation. Wish you all the best to you 😊😊

[@alinepoio2730]

Claire, you are beautiful. You're so mature and aware about everything that it's going on with so much acceptance, it's inspiring! Thank you girl

[@pricelessbeauty2969]

ur mom is the best u guys bond had me in tears literally x0x0x

[@TheXbunneh]

I only hope that one day I'd be grateful enough to have a child that is wonderful, kind hearted and passionate as Claire

[@AnnabelleMitchellLucyRoss]

Aaah your mum made me cryy :/ oh and you can see where you got your good looks Claire! Your mum is beautiful xx

[@rayobee]

You're honestly so brave and an inspiration to everyone ❤️ sending support from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪

[@Desi_Rae]

my mom died of breast cancer almost a year ago...this video made me miss her so much

[@stephandharley99]

Desi Rae my mom passed 6yrs ago and this made me miss her increaadibly. they look like they have a fabulous relationship. I miss that so so so much with my mom. she was and still is the best friend I ever had. I'd like to say it gets easier, unfortunately that's not the case (for me anyway ), but I have learned to cope better. take care!

[@daniellaviolet6207]

Desi Rae sending my love to you both 💗

[@Missprincess96561]

I've just found your videos and you are truly amazing and inspiring, you have such an amazing energy about you and you are so smiley!! 😊. Your videos are so good and your hilarious!💖

[@ffsomgwtflol]

Your mom is awesome! I bet you have got to share so much more thanks to the CF. My mum(I am from England) has never really got over the death of my brother David. He was 21 and it was cancer, but I am sure he wouldn't have wanted mum to cry herself to sleep for ten years. If you get the chance let mom know you want her to move on when she can. On the plus side Claire, you can not experience your own death and as our universe has multiple histories, you will live to be an OAP. Just poor old mum will see you die in a lot of histories. Anyway your both amazing people, thanks for sharing your story

[@stephaniepapa8046]

This video had me in tears. You and your mum are beautiful, I love your attitude!

[@72kbobert]

Thank you for sharing this with the world.

[@essetaok]

i just found her channel, can't stop watching, i want so much that she lives a really long life, i wish i could give her half of the whole life time i'm going to live so she can enjoy even more, and learn even more and spread more positivity like this

[@qateralneda]

awww this video is so touching. Your mother is amazing, loving and wise.

[@elizabethadams2113]

You are both so beautiful, and so inspiring. It shouldn't take someone having an illness - none of us know how long we have - we ALL should appreciate every day and the beloved ones in our lives for the gifts that they are. Claire, I love your message and you are truly an inspiration:)

[@skylarchumley3532]

YOURE IN A COMMERCIAL. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL IT MADE ME CRY. ;) YOURE SO GOOD AT SINGING

[@ammylover1]

What's the video called

[@Rise4star]

+Abandoneddreams if you check out Claire's playlist in videos she is in, the commercial I believe is part of it.

[@MelKokiri]

Wow you two are warriors... It must be so hard to fight through a chronic illness together, always expecting death and not knowing what the future holds for sure. You both have a huge bond, it's beautiful. (Not related but your mom's necklace is eye catching!)

[@MrScottie301]

I love that you all have not let this disease control you but instead you decided to live and love each other for as long as you can. Thank you for your honest souls!

[@carolinemorrissey6023]

i just saw an ad about the breathless choir and i saw you! So beautiful and touching, and you're an amazing singer!!

[@Chunz_Lo]

This video was so needed! Thank you for giving us more incite into the caregiver side, and Claire we're always happy to see videos from you and wishing you well. Sending you love! Thanks for sharing your light :)

[@cherylkoh7117]

Both you and your mom are so cute! I can tell that you got your sense of humour from her (besides CF). Really hope you'll live the rest of your life as painlessly and happily as you can :')

[@brennadwyer2702]

She has a amazing soul I love her so much and her mother if you are listening your daughter will have a long life ahead of her don't you worry please like if you also have all the hope in your heart

[@QuadiePoo]

Awww. Your mom is so gorgeous and so are you. You are so positive and fun and mature. Your channel is so great. I want more updates.

[@FunnyShorts-lg6ri]

There seems to be so much trash on KZbin but videos like this should be what KZbin is all about, sharing experiences and growing as a result. Excellent and amazing channel and great videos, not just the content but also how you present it. Well done.

[@cffighter9671]

Love you so much Claire!! :) You inspired me to create a youtube channel for my Cystic Fibrosis! I am excited to make videos and share them with the world! Thank you for being amazing!

[@lillian.catherine]

[@kdn5576]

I was about to skip the ad but I saw you and I stopped. It was the Philips breathless choir. I felt so proud and sang along. I have a chronic lung disease. Thank You.

[@shanhayes2488]

What a wonderful daughter you are Claire

[@833lo]

Oh wow. Your mum crying about wanting to tell you things whilst you were in a coma really made me cry!! Just so sweet. Love your videos.

[@christoffer1917]

Awww, your mom is so sweet

Firstly, my name is Melissa. And when she told you that you made eye contact while being wheeled in the hospital and it made her feel like you were telling her that it was going to be alright. Aw!!! Thinking of death. Your poor mom. I'm happy to see she really hasn't thought of an answer.
