Hi everyone. It breaks my heart to say that after living with breast cancer for the last 3 years, my mom passed away a few days ago surrounded by loved ones. She fought until the very end. For anyone who enjoyed the videos with MamaDoesThings where we goofed off together on the channel, know that she loved reading your comments, and was always so excited seeing how much you liked hearing her voice and commentary. You cheered her days up considerably and I am incredibly grateful for that.
In honor of my mom’s service in the healthcare industry and to aid other families affected by breast cancer, my family is aiming to establish a memorial dedicated to her at the hospital she worked at, as well as make a contribution to the cancer institute where she received treatment. If you would like to support these goals, you are welcome to donate here: gofund.me/d449b74c Absolutely no obligation, but any help is appreciated.
My mom was so special to me in that we always loved sharing our favorite shows, movies, music, and books with one another; she’d always be the first one I’d show the newest thing I was excited about to. Whether it was Star Wars, K-pop, comic books, or romance novels, some of my most precious memories with my mom are of us discussing media at the breakfast table each morning.
She was the one who always encouraged my imagination and creativity to grow, and I owe so much of who I am today to her. A big reason why I started making videos with her in the first place was that I honestly didn’t know how much time she’d have, and I wanted her to be part of my work and passion online.
You may have noticed my videos have been a bit sporadic this year. Outside of YouTube, I haven’t been super online in the past few months due to her health declining; as one of her caregivers I wanted to spend as much time as possible with her. I wish more than anything we could’ve had more, and i’ll always wish she was here whenever something new pops up that I want her to see, but I’m so happy we were able to have that time together. She was a constant pillar of support, and if I can be even half as strong and vibrant as she was, then I can live my life proudly.
In regards to videos: please bear with me as uploads may be a little unpredictable for the next few weeks. I’ll continue to post content I’ve already filmed and have been previously working on, and will start filming new stuff after taking some time to process everything. I know I don’t have to worry much as you guys are literally the best community I could have hoped for, but I do want to let you know what’s going on as well as continue working, even if it’s just a little bit at a time, as keeping busy helps me keep moving forward. Grief is the price we pay for love, and i’ll be working through mine for the rest of my life. Having her in my life for 27 years is something i'll be forever thankful for.
Thank you again so much for your continued love and support, and if you have any favorite moments from the videos my mom and I filmed together, feel free to share them below❤️
