Emotional Return To Dad’s Mississippi Hometown - Father & Son Road Trip Day 4 / Both Our Birthplaces

Road Trip May 2021 Day 4 with My Dad

[@stuckinmopro8533]

Seeing Adam pushing his dad on the merry-go-round was the most heart warming scene so far.

[@Matt561]

Honestly, then him being worried when he took his hands off lol

As a 74 year old father of a 52 year old daughter, and sons, 43 and 41 years old respectively, Adam's father and son series really relates with me. You should be proud of this series, Adam. It's really touching. Bravo!

[@moisesperez4605]

Totally agree with your comment, I’m in my 50s my dad‘s in his 80s early 80s, and we did last year in 2022 live with Adam and his dad are doing, and I see in Adams Dad, the exact expression, like my father would do when we were there Where he grew up, and how they get hypnotized that sometimes they’re talking, and it seems like they’re not even aware that you’re there, and you always wonder what’s going through their minds at the moment, fun, I did ask my father, and probably someday my kids will take me like I did my father. But I totally agree with their comment.

[@robertrowland5813]

@@moisesperez4605 Thank you for your observations prompted by the comment I made a couple of years ago. Just to update you and others who may be reading these words. It's important to make time to spend with one's loved ones. You never know when it may be too late to connect with them. My eldest child, the daughter, passed away on October 31, 2023. She was 55 years old. It's like I just wrote, "You never know when it may be too late to connect with your loved ones." So, do connect as soon as you can.

Have a good one and be careful Adam and to ur dad 👍👍👍

My mom is a throat cancer survivor. She was given a 50% chance of surviving 3 years and 20% surviving past 5 years. That’s was 18 years ago. She’s cancer free and kickin’ butt. Hope your pops follows in my mom’s footsteps.

This series with Adam and his Dad is the best work he has ever did and I love all his stuff. Great job Adam love these

[@alvankarpas6245]

FWIW, what you are doing is one of the most noble things I have seen in all my years on KZbin. I tip my hat to you young man for taking the time out of your life and on your channel to do something that has become so foreign to our culture these days, honoring our parents. And a big tip of the hat to your dad for having raised you as he did. Sometimes I skip over the Disney stuff but things like this is what makes both you and your channel stand out. Oh yeah, ask your dad if the sewing factory was KMA Manufacturing. I knew the owner and he had some plants in Ala. and Miss. Just wondering how small the world is... :-)

[@zanetaylor5639]

I love seeing Adams dad riding on the marry-go-round. It reminded me that you are never too old to have fun.

[@helgabullabong]

Adore this series. So much love and memories. Watching you spin your dad on the roundabout at the playground it struck me how time reverses our roles. You were saying "hold on, i don't want to push you too fast, don't get dizzy, have you had enough?". How many times, years ago, your Dad said the same to you at the park. Awesome.

[@daewooparts]

These videos with your pops are more interesting than Disney

[@mr.fancypants6390]

I love the Disney content, and everything else. If you don't find the Disney videos interesting, don't watch them. It's pretty simple really.

I damn near cried when your dad was talking about his dad holding him swimming in the pool. There was a pause and it seemed as though he was really absorbing the past and current moment. What a great time in your life with your dad. Many blessing for you and your family. Safe travels Mr. Woo and thank you for sharing them.

[@ellietobe]

What a great dad Adam has! I read somewhere that the memories you have when you are very young are some of the clearest. I know several people that still dream of their childhood homes. Some still want to be able to walk through those houses. A lot of stores are closing that you never would have thought would go away. The global elites are doing something to change our lives again. I remember that place where I grew up used to have one of those drive in A&W Root Beer places. The food was sooooo good! I miss their mashed potato French fries! Now everything is mushy fast food.

[@AdventureswithRoger]

So many touching moments in this one. Some say you can never go home, but you can. You just can’t stay in a world that’s no longer there. After college, I used to take my widowed Mom on road trips like this. She was a character, and we had so many laughs and good times along the miles. Now that she’s gone, I often relive the places we went. I see a bench where she sat, a restaurant table where we had a great dinner, but mostly, an empty passenger seat. And it’s bittersweet to think that the last time we visited a place, was the last time we’d ever visit together, and I didn’t even know it.

[@TheOtherBartScott]

I am loving this series with your dad. What an incredible experience you two are having. I promise you he’ll talk about this the rest of his days.
