What I Learned Through My Mom's Life

[@LizInTheSun]

I just turned 27 last month and have been battling Stage 3 ovarian cancer since October 2020. I am so happy to say that after major surgery and chemo, I got a clean scan 2 weeks ago. A BPN ambassador saw what I was going through back in December and sent me a care package from the BPN team. I won't ever forget that kindness. I have always been inspired by Nick, the BPN team, and what Go One More stands for. I remember watching Nick's video on KZbin when he announced his mother's passing. This video is definitely a loving tribute to what seemed like a wonderful lady. She would be so proud of what you all have built! ❤️💪🏼 Thank you for inspiring us all, not just in fitness, but in life!

Lovely but heartbreaking, I can relate so much I lost my 17 year old son suddenly last month and the things he taught me in his short time about being a good dad, mentor and friend will stay with me forever, I felt the exact same when he passed I just felt that “what now?” Comment deep in my heart, but rather than turn to drugs and booze to deal with it (how I used to solve my problems) I found peace in running, cycling and swimming and have signed up for an Ironman. I keep a cutting of his hair in a waterproof wristband so he’s with me every step of the way. Thanks for this video nick you have really helped me put things into perspective with helping to deal with the loss of a loved one so dear to your heart 💙

You’ve changed the lives of hundreds of thousands. You’re mom would be proud.

[@tadh844]

He made this video not for views, money etc. He made this video for the love of his mother. You are a good man sir.

[@FitLabb]

Your Mom was 100% right that being kind & generous to others is one of the best ways to live our lives. I see that in you, playing out in your videos, & you’re making her proud with how you conduct yourself in positive ways.

[@neossans]

I live with my Mom, and I'm not appreciating her enough as she's getting older. Watching your video made realize how much she loves me and how much I love her, and that I should cherish every moment with her.

[@mtate02]

Right on mate 💛

[@Lew699]

My mother had breast cancer 2 yrs ago, it literally broke me ! You helped me get through it! Thank you! Fly high mama Bare!

[@tommyleon2265]

[@stevenray661]

[@runningcoach]

My Mum also passed away with ovarian cancer on January 9th 2021, just 5 months ago. She battled so bravely for 2 years. My birthday is June 10, so all in all, this video resonated with me. Peace to our Mum's Nick and bless them both x

[@ivanr4300]

[@Cofreshh]

Prayers to you and your family 🙏🏾

[@delnorteoficial]

I lost my dad to kidney cancer this past month and it has been the hardest thing I have ever experienced. I always looked up to him as this invincible being just like you did with your mom and seeing him weighing only 100 lbs and having to take care of him the way we did was devastating. It all happened in a matter of months and listening to you brings back all those memories that I keep pushing to the back of my mind and avoiding them. I guess time is the only healer for this and listening to you helped me bring those thoughts back and confront them. I really haven't told anyone how I have felt this past month, it feels almost like I dream... Anyone reading this, please hug your loved ones, I remember the last time I hugged my dad and I will forever cherish that moment. Great work Nick, you are an outstanding person.

[@rosycheeks.]

this made me cry…so moving, life changing and inspiring. thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this intimate story

[@richardsattazahn3052]

I visited your mom at the hospital the day before she went home. She was so upbeat like nothing was wrong and so positive one of the greatest women I have ever known. She has taught me alot being one of her first students.It was and honor to be her friend

[@maggyxchuu]

This was beautiful. Just beautifully done. Rest In Peace for your mom. Thank you for this video.

[@BigWasserDigital]

I feel your pain, my girlfriend passed away from Nuroendocrine cancer Feb 6th this year, she was diagnosied Jan before. She was 42 yearsd old. I'm training for a Triple Ironman to raise awareness for this rare cancar and raise money for a UK based Charity. Its hard for them left behind, and its important to do good and stay motivated, and never forget them. How I live my life and how I treat people is very different now. Don't waste a moment to tell someone how you feel, and always push yourself in every aspect of life. Keep doing what your doing Nick.

[@jasonfoutz9245]

Your mom was a great person . She always had a soft spot for kids.

[@afeniluna1330]

Anyone that teaches and helps with special education has a very special place in heaven. Bless her soul. And don’t stop doing what you Nick. Love you man

[@robmosley1973]

Hey buddy, I lost my Mom this past October. It has been really tuff. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. This really hit home. I still have not accepted she is gone.

[@ivanr4300]

Stay strong!

[@chelseavanraam3783]

Thank you for sharing your moms story. I lost my mom 16 years ago to cancer. Your mom would be so proud of you.

[@npyle4]

As the father of a daughter with special needs (Down syndrome), thank you! Your Mom instilled some tremendous values in you that you should be incredibly proud of.

[@CarlosRodriguez-vl9gx]

Right there with you brother. I lost my father just under a month before you lost your mother. He showed me how to be a man, and taught me what unconditional love is. He lives on through me. God bless you and your family.

[@mmatrix3998]

Going to call my mom today and tell her I love and appreciate her.

[@jiridvorak]

you never know what`s gonna happen next day...so enjoy every day....

[@jro558]

Took me a day to sit down and watch this. My brother died of cancer 4 years ago. 41 years old, police officer and volunteer fireman. Left behind an awesome wife and two amazing boys, plus an entire community of people who loved him. While every loss of a loved one is so hard, cancer is an especially difficult way to lose someone. God bless you, your mom, and your family. Prayers to all:)

[@phillipfusco9574]

Had a knot in my throat the whole time, thank you for sharing such a personal thing.

[@CRODTV]

Man we knew you were tough but to share that shows a whole different level of toughness. Thanks for sharing Nick I know your Mom is so proud of the impact you are making today.

[@JALENCASTREJON]

Seeing this video makes me even more thankful that I still have my mom, because I don’t ever want to have to go through the pain that you and your family had to go through while grieving. You’re a strong person and I hope to be like you.

[@TGuidry25]

I’m sorry for yalls loss. I can’t imagine. Thank you for sharing her story and God bless.

[@davecurry3322]

Very sad but a great video. I lost my Mom 16 years ago. It was and is still a tough loss. Take solace that you got to say good bye even in her most difficult days. I never got the chance to say goodbye and tell her I loved her. She had a massive heart attack and died immediately.

[@tlishious6604]

My brother passed away 9 years ago all the sudden. Understand exactly what you went/going thru. His birthday was Sunday. Tough time but I'm blessed to have had such a impactful person in my life

[@stwephen775]

Thanks Nick! I had the joy of performing an "unofficial" wedding ceremony for my best friend of 20 years in a room with his father who was on hospice and had a couple days left to live. I grew up with this dude and his parents were my second parents. His mom passed about 5 years ago. One year ago his dads heart failed about 6 month prior to their wedding date. He called me on a Wednesday, we did the ceremony the next day on Thursday, and he passed the next day on Friday. It was magical but so heartbreaking. During the ceremony he said up and spoke the first words in days and what turned out to be his last words. A moment I will never forget. God bless you Nick!

[@ZeroToPatrick]

The greatest example of one's power...is the power of one's example. And it sounds like your Mother was powerful indeed. Blessings on her and everyone who loved her.

[@kadenwong6599]

"people are not going to remember you by the house you lived in, the cars you drove, the things you brought and the things you owned. But they're going to talk about you because of the impact you made on their life." That was amazing. That's why you can be successful because you always bring positivity to people!

[@comlay90]

Beautiful story and beautiful message Nick. I lost my dad in 2005 when I was 15 so a lot of this hits home. Life is precious, live it to the fullest.

[@wildsmooth9201]

Nick you got me running again and living a healthy life. She gave you the gift to change lives.

[@JoeRubio-kq2if]

Nick, This video brought tears to my eyes It was tough watching because I also lost my sister from cancer 3 years ago and I still have so much grief. Your mom was such a wonderful person Thank you for sharing with us. love you Nick.

[@mrplummer1988]

thank you so much, I read your dads ig post to your mom about her purse still there like she just got home and it brought me to tears

[@patrickwalsh467]

Ms. Bare is in a place where pain and suffering are banished, where happiness and health abound ever more, where courage is no longer needed, and where nothing ever dies. Thank you Ms. Bare for giving us your two sons.

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

Beautiful story Nick ❤ It's a simple reminder to cherish the relationships that we take for granted

[@gatorfanboy]

I’m a father of two great kids with special needs and love hearing about your mother. I can tell you, a dedicated and kind teacher means the world to families of special needs kids. Same with coaches and volunteers with Special Olympics. The positive impacts and inclusion for us parents and for our kids… it is invaluable. Thank you for sharing your mother’s memory and ongoing influence in this world.

[@krztuszenie]

Thanks for this video. To be honest, my mother is the best woman in my life. She is always with you and supports you.

[@jdubharrington]

How do you hold it together Nick talking about your mom? I lost my mom a year ago to cancer and just hearing your story gets me tearing up again..😥

[@JulianF_23]

Your mom sounds like she tried to make the world a better place for everyone. I'm sure that she would be very proud of you and how you are changing the world for the better. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@declanc4529]

You and your brother Preston have done your Mom proud… not letting that effect you and making your business the global brand that it is now. Kudos from the UK

[@taffyden9718]

Sorry for your loss

[@tyleredwards1016]

Whole lot of onions were cut during this one. Thanks for being so open with us throughout your journey. Your mom taught you the right way, it shows in everyone of these videos. Much respect! 🙏🏽

[@SBoots29]

I could not even imagine the pain you went through. Be it known that yes she has impacted your life and you are passing along her gift by impacting other. You have taught me stamina and perseverance. A very beautiful tribute to your MOM.

[@LiseBarrett]

Grateful to you for sharing your experiences with us. I am a cancer survivor and a Mother-as such I listened to this from both angles...you touch my Heart & inspire constantly. Keep that Heart & Soul Beautiful. Thank You 🙏🙏

[@AlexandAvivaAsh]

Very touching, Nick! Went through something similar with my mom 3 years ago. She passed with Leukemia. Thanks for all you do 🤙

[@DanDyakov]

This is a beautiful video of the saddest moments life can bring you. I lost my mom 6 months ago to cancer. Thank you for sharing your story Nick 🙏 your mom is proud of you, for sure

[@honesttruth817]

Souls like your mom let’s me know there is a God and a Heaven. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@williamw.9223]

I’m so appreciative that you shared your love for your mom and lessons learned from her. A gift to us all. Thank you.

[@StephaniePereaGarcia]

Oh man... Nick I knew you were a strong man but hearing you talk about this experience shined a light at your inner strength and resilience. I admire your drive and persistence as an athlete and as an entrepreneur but I now admire you even more for your soul. You got a good one and it shows. I'm so sorry you went through such a devastating loss. Cancer is no stranger in my life. This video and your words remind me to be forever grateful through each moment shared with loved ones regardless of the hectic stress we experience on a day to day basis. Thank you for sharing your story and for being vulnerable to help others get through these tough times together. And lastly, thank you for your service sir. You are very much appreciated and admired by many.

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

Be the change you want to see. Lead by example. Your influence is wide spread and we all play a part in this.

[@radinadimova2827]

I'm sure your mom is looking down on you and smiling at all the hard and passionate work you are doing. Praying for your family during this week.

[@soilentgreenhomestead3933]

God bless you Nick, god bless all those in the comments talking about their loved ones affected by cancer.

[@blestmin0taur727]

I’m currently stationed at Camp Casey and back in January my passed away due to a accident. She would always say that she was excited for me to come back home. Thank you for uploading this video knowing the lessons we learned.

[@hawkeye4469]

Your mom is big time proud of you brother. You’ve helped so many people. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@L_B2030]

❤️ prayers for you and your family, awesome way to honor her and them all actually

[@mastroiannisteve]

Respect! Sorry for your loss. She was/is one smart lady to leave those words with you, “if you want to see me again, you need to believe in God”. God bless you and thank you for the inspiration you provide to so many. Thank you foe sharing this video. Probably your best video ever.

[@bennyblanco123441]

That was lovely and im sure she'll be very proud of you, your an inspiration. The world needs more people like you and your mum.

[@janplenkers]

got tears in my eyes man... thank you for sharing this story, nick!

[@riab6021]

God Bless her and your family. My parents passed 7 days and 20 yrs apart. Same cancer illness. So that month will always be difficult. But take comfort in that they kept me safe while I was upstairs sleeping as my home was robbed. This event occurred the same week of their anniversary. So many things are the same I experienced with my Dad and Mom. Sadly I didn't get to hear my mothers voice when I traveled to see her in her final days. That is the most heartbreaking.

[@luisluna6742]

Thank you for the video Nick. I’m a hospice RN in western Colorado. The greatest job I’ve ever had, providing care to those in their most vulnerable moments. Supporting their loved ones and walking with them through their end of life journey. ♥️

[@Bobbytaylor1981]

This hits close to home for me. Lost my dad to cancer in 2016. He only had few weeks left when he found the cancer. Losing a parent is very painful.

[@TheBigGuyATX]

Man, I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2017 and I still feel the loss. Thanks for your inspiring, educational videos

[@ChristopherKellum]

Truly a huge inspiration to others - your mother instilled so much discipline in you - true character of how amazing your mom was not only for you but for the thousands she helped as well and it clearly had a domino effect on you as you continue to inspire the masses 💯 you’re the main reason I broke out of my fear to pursue youtube - very strong individual to get in-front of the camera to speak on your moms legacy - had me choking up on the stair master 🙏

[@MSleiman89]

Thank you for sharing this story. You are a great reflection of her.

[@ramyotman1662]

I’m so glad you shared this memories with us !! She sound like left her footprint in this world !

[@willietatum5116]

Just lost my brother. This video was timely for me. Continue to lead from the front with your example, hard work and leadership.

[@scottw1602]

My father passed at home hospice as well.. was excruciating and unbelievably hard to watch my father look at me n not be able to speak.. n him knowing it was time to say goodbye.. we have a bond brother, we have a few. God bless u and your mother’s soul

[@treymiller4373]

My mom passed away on April 28th, 2020 from heart and lung failure. She was able to pass away at home as well with her family with her. She too was a teacher and a giver like your mom! She was also a trail blazer by starting up two separate school band programs from the ground up!

[@billycarroll4159]

Great words spoken Nick,I feel like I almost know your Mom. My sister is a 8yr survivor of ovarian cancer. Thanks for sharing her story,your Mom surely is proud and watching over you.

[@CameronMartinez1]

Such a simple, yet effective, video. Lost my mom in March and I completely resonated with the sentiment about not knowing where to go from here, not wanting to do anything. We can only learn to live through the grief. Thanks for sharing, Nick.

[@checkerscat]

@nick bare I am inspired by your story and again by Mrs Bare. You have described my mother as well. Selfless and concerned for others. Her words on her dying day is "Sorry, I ruined your day". These are her words on my moving day into my new home. The greatest woman and mother I will ever know. Thank you for sharing!!

[@bradleymillmun9488]

Thanks for sharing…..❤️ My mother passed from breast cancer in 2011. Had a very similar experience to what you shared. So happy to hear she was able to see you and your wife married in the comfort of your childhood home. Cheers to mommas! Keep doing what you’re doing Brotha! You’re an inspiration to me.

[@davidporter2828]

Wow! And that is your true inheritance; the love, the memories and the lessons- they will never go away.

[@lilsoup28]

It was 2 years in March for me as well very similar my mom had cancer and unexpectedly was also given a 7 day expectancy and moved to hospice. I felt the same I never ever thought I'd actually lose her I thought it would just be a rough patch. Thanks for sharing, very important message. Sending love. ❤

[@sgtteabags1537]

[@dimitriskafetzis4889]

Nick have been really touched from your video especially the respect you have been having for your mom. Really great what you did with your wife to get married earlier than the normal date in order to include her in your ceremony and make her feel nice and proud of the family she had. It is an inspirational video and speech by you for those who indeed suffer right now with a relative or beloved in a similar position. It is also greatly inspiring any one of us to appraciate every single day and moment of our lives together with our loved ones, time and life is priceless and you really portrayed this in this video. Great reminder to all of us brother

[@cmwalker4]

Thanks for sharing man. She sounds like an amazing person. I’m sure she’s proud that you’re carrying on her legacy.
