Two things every mom does when they visit their adult child's home (or camper, in this case) for the first time: 1-check the water pressure, 2-point out something they don't like. At least your mom is both willing _and_ able to help you make the improvements. ;)

[@andreassundberg5636]

I know the feeling. Hadn't met my father for two years and when we finally met last summer we spent three days building a deck. Working together is a great way of hanging out.

[@confusedwhale]

I think one of the main impotences in any relationship is focusing on a third thing. It's not focusing on one person or the other, which can be really weird and ego inflating, but on the building and maintenance of something else. Whether it's physical or mental, it's something the people in a relationship can look back on and see what the relationship is capable of accomplishing through sustained endeavorence. You and your dad can look back on your deck and see what both of you were able to do. And when the deck has aged and could use maintenance, you both can work on it again as you mainten your relationship... even if your dad might be older and slower than he used to be. He can still be there to keep you company, and help in whatever way you need. And if you have kids, you can share that same maintenance in the future... Or a different one, as each relationship can have their own third thing to focus on.

Making a thing is far more meaningful than doing a thing.

In 2019 my job with an airline allowed me to fly my mother to the states. She’d not been back since 2006. I had been in highschool the last she’d seen me. None of her children had been married, and none of her grandchildren had been born. She’d also been very sick in the in between years and unable to travel. Sadly she’d lost her husband the year before. 13 years apart. And she was coming to my home. I wound up on anxiety meds finally! 2019 wound up the perfect window of opportunity for it to happen. She got to hug my niece and nephew. Meet her son and daughter in-laws. Hug her siblings! I really feel for everyone that’s been kept apart for this time. I hope we can all treasure the times we get to spend together while we can. We never know what will happen next.

And my oldest speaks both languages fluently. I get it mixed up constantly but it still works Lol. Love what you did to the camper! Love from Denmark

This makes me happy cry, and it is so clear where Simone gets her amazingness from.

[@jellypopcorn]

_I miss my mum. She is gone now. But I appreciate this video. I love watching you have ideas together and sharing warm moments. Bless you both_

[@nobody13o7]

Super sweet video. Put some tears in my eyes seeing that airport hug. Wish I had anywhere near this level of relationship with my parents. I know not too late to start but they are not at all invested in my interests and I just cant just sit and watch tv for hours and call that bonding.

[@cycoholic]

Please find something, anything. I've lost both parents, my father when I was just 13 and my mother when I was 37. I'm nearly 50. Find a compromise. Watch som tv with them, they do something you like to do, and find something that both you and your parents haven't done but would like to try. Once they're gone, it's too late. Hope you can work something out. 🙂

[@stageskip___5149]

This was the perfect way for you to reconnect. You could tell she was so impressed, and then immediately wanted to spend time with you by creating and building something together in the space you renovated for her.

[@fieromike1]

First I was so excited for you to see your mom. Then I was in tears when you got to see her after so long. Then I started laughing when she started redecorating your camper. So happy that you and your mom get to spend time together.❤️

[@MikeWhalley]

I genuinely teared up when you and your mum decided to skip the museums and build stuff together. Not when you met at the airport for the first time in 2 years. When you started ripping sh*t out. Tell me I'm not weird with my emotions, please? 🤔😂

[@barence321]

That was also my favorite part! No fake bonding over art and cheap pasta. Just "hey, we should rip out that stupid useless couch and build a table!"

[@rafamadeit]

I had the exact same feeling, the airport was sweet but something about sharing an interest with your parent like that is so heartwarming

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Millions of people have met their loved ones at the airport. Simone and her mom are possibly the only ones who can say they've torn down a couch in an old used trailer in order to replace it with a table.

[@TheSpiffyNeoStar]

This is such a heartwarming video I love it so much!!!!!

[@0xteknogeek]

okay this was so wholesome but is nobody gonna talk about that amazing music sync-up at 12:17?

[@courtneylees9133]

i haven't seen my husband since the pandemic started and borders shut. This was so sweet to watch and I can't wait for the same kind of airport hug I just saw in this video!

[@AJVD2123]

It’s late, but I hope you got too see him! There are so many people in our position, you’re never alone in the wait❤️

[@chefb0b998]

This was your best project yet!!! Both my parents passed away in the last few years, and seeing you and lilla momma working together made me cry. Thanks so much.

[@cnogo33]

Simone's videos never fail to put a smile on my face. Most wholesome channel on youtube, hands down.

[@marlousv]

I love your mom! Just the mix of Swedish and English makes me think of my Swedish friends and she would fit right in with them.

[@aztechguy76]

Your mom Is AWESOME! You can definitely see where you get your creativity, sense of humor and looks from! I'm so glad you got to see her after so long. Her pup is adorable too! Great video, great project and great vibes!

[@marlenezarah6501]

I love seeing you build things with your mom. I'm glad you got to see her again after auch a long time. She seems really nice. This video is so sweet. I also love it when you speak swedish, because I understand most of it and I just love that language!

[@samuelojo6518]

Haven't seen my parents in almost 3 years. I'm planning to visit them next summer. This video makes me look forward to it even more. Thanks Simone 😊 Damn these onion cutting ninjas ... *sniff*

[@bakicci]

8:40 THE DOGE joining the group hug was so cute I teared up

[@g0mikese]

Your Mom is awesome. I love that you guys spent time building together, I think that's more meaningful than going to a museum or such, very heart warming and I'm so happy you got to see her again after so long.

[@NupplesRampage]

I am happy someone out there has a happy relationship with their parent. It warms my heart and thank you for sharing these moments!

[@RMDragon3]

12:40 As a non-native speaker of English living in the UK, I can so relate to that! After living here for a few years I now always speak and even think in English, but whenever I go back home I speak Catalan and my mind becomes such a mess of what language I think in

[@confusedwhale]

I bet it's really weird when you notice what language you dream in.

[@RMDragon3]

@@confusedwhale tbh, I don't tend to realize what language I'm dreaming in. Probably because I usually do not remember my dreams, and even if I do it tends to be quite fuzzy. That's always been the case tho so I don't think it has anything to do with the language I'm speaking 😅

[@rileystevens9364]

I haven't seen my mom in a long time and when you hugged at the airport I couldn't help but cry, I miss my mom and you guys are so sweet

[@DasGanon]

I love the fact that the trailer has the Spool as a nightstand. It's still one of my favorite Simone projects. 🧵

[@simonegiertz]

I stan spool

[@DasGanon]

@@simonegiertz Spool is Cool

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

ALL HAIL SPOOL!

[@petercudmore8608]

I am always amazed by the growth from the early days of this channel to today. It is amazing to see Simone going from trying to not design things that are good because of a fear of failure to someone who innovates and creates professional looking work across a number of disciplines. Amazing.

[@JeremySchoen]

we haven't seen our families in over 2 years too, and our kid went from a baby to a child without seeing her grandparents, we can't wait to go back. happy for you!

[@charlesjackson5291]

Holy crap, this was possibly the most wholesome thing I have seen on the internet in awhile. Thank you for being awesome.

[@shannono8397]

I cried, that was so fun watching you both greet, settle in and start a build! *I just love how you both are so skilled!

[@linw7320]

I very nearly broke out in tears to begin with, then I was laughing... now my heart is full of joy 😂 ♥ Thank you Simone.

[@alexalon9192]

I love seeing that you got this creative and clever instinct from your mom and it's so wholesome that you two can just build together like that

[@Rbjdekkald]

You mom’s laugh is just the best. This video made me smile.
