The Skin Deep i have a friend who i think should tell her story. She is fighting to get her children out of the foster care system in new York these people are doing her so wrong! how can i get more information to give her so she can get in touch with you? My email is thereasa4c@gmail.com thanks
The Skin Deep thank you i will pass it on to my friend
The Skin Deep. I been wondering what are they doing now?
The Skin Deep she's very hurt from some thing. Even in happy questions, she cries n coming from someone who's lost in pain...... There is something hurting this child
The Skin Deep what is khalil he looks mexican
I looked at her and started crying, I felt like those beautiful big eyes were filled with sadness that isn't suposed to be there.
and he does not even ask why are you so sad baby girl?
nothing I think he felt it to
Yes I felt that too! Poor baby is so young but she looks like she's been through a lot :(
same girl..
Chiara Leysen yea she looked stressed and sad
When he said "Dr. Mia" and she smiled from her soul that was so sweet. He spoke life into her at that very moment. Dads are so important.
Dru Maynus Girl yes. They spoke life into me lol I need to call my dad.
Dru Maynus I hope she become a doctor !
Dru Maynus he definitely did. I could feel her soul light up when he said that.
Luxkai I'm going to call mine today
SunKissNicole Yes. I called mine and out relationship has definitely grown stronger in the last 2 months.
When she said "you're my best friend because you're always there when I need help". I bawled.
Mina Kan me too 😫😫
Mina Kan saaammeee
Aww broke my lil heart..bawled like a baby lol
Still crying
marissa clark *hands you a tissue* it's ok
I was incarcerated with this brother. Even then I knew he was more than where he was at the moment. He has done some great things in society since he has returned to it. God bless him and his family. This is real!
Hope your life is going well too 🙏
That also says something about you 😊 being able to recognize that. It’s great to hear.
@@roxiewatters1161 - Exactly!
🖤
❤
I just realized I've never had a real conversation with my dad before
Same, not with my mom either
I just realized it too..
same..
Me too
Same here, and I'm dying inside because of him.
Her eyes are so sad I’ve never seen so much pain reflected in eyes
Hibzter especially at a young age 😥
She is still at that tender age where a separation with a parent is so baffling and unexplainable, even with other adults in her life's explanations and guidance, it can only manifest as pure unadulterated sorrow. As she grows, she will learn and understand more of his situation and circumstances, which will paint a clearer picture for her. It's up to him what that picture evolves into. I had eyes like that once, although it wasn't until I was 25 that I got to fill in so many blank spots. Unfortunately for me, my father didn't turn out to be quite so strong at bettering himself, in whatever things he needed to. Luckily, this gentleman seems to not be as much of a danger in that regard. And to be honest, 9 year old her looks a lot stronger that 20+ me, at least as far as fathers go.
Hibzter right?
Hibzter children are always the ones who suffer the most when they loose a parent in any sense of the word of loss. It’s painful.
Take a look into mine
She's crying because she loves her dad.
She's crying because she's hurt
Yeh she REALLY whole heartily loves her dad!
I thought she was crying because one like you said she loves her dad and she doesn't want him to get incarcerated again because she needs him not saying that we all dont need our dads because we do I wish I had mine in my life but things happen
Indeed she does
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 I respect that ain't nothing wrong with that wish more men did that but as soon as there is any conflict with their baby mom they don't stick around long and are ready to leave so more power to you for staying strong and sticking around for your daughter wish you nothing but the best for you and yours 🙏🏾
NEVER TOO LATE: This child is so empathetic, loving, and forgiving. She's got a heart of gold. Her tears say a lot. She's afraid of abandonment and her eyes scream hurt.
So true. Great observation
Sadly thats what too many lil black girls feel. Then it carries over to our adulthood. We need more safe spaces to grow confident and learn.
@@iamdenabruton I found myself thinking the same thing. I loved this, but I must admit that I cringed when he told her that she's stronger than he thought. Strong is good, but therapy is exceptional.
Ohhh I’m not crying.. Yes I am.. This is simply beautiful. Open and honest conversation with your kids are so needed. Parents it is OKAY to be vulnerable so your kids see that we are all human..
@@virgobubz ? ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ?
This child is so pure, loving, forgiving, with a heart of gold. Don't hurt her again
He didn't mean to ever hurt her. This is a breakthrough and new beginning for them both.
That's what I was thinking.. hurt her again and I might have to find u and beat u lmao
is this even his child looks nothing like him he needs to do dna test
@@refi6438 Why? He has an angel in his life now. Only a fool would throw that away.
@@halfhawkhalfman would be doing dis service to both of them if hes not her real father.she is an angel but deserves the truth.
He is married to my niece ( this little angel's mother), and I am so proud of him...and the family is doing WONDERFUL😘
She looks like him.
Amazing!
Patricia Prendergast I was hoping they were doing great! So good to hear.
Thank you Jesus! Continued blessings to each one of them, and to your entire family.
Ppl r saying he’s not her biological father is that true or r they spreading false information?
"Theres nothing to add to you being a better parent, you're actually a great parent" I just reached a new stage of bawling. Please hug her soon dude!
Check out Khalil's full story on our new series, The Window! bit.ly/2ldzlPh
I think she had more to say about that :(
Nilleen Smith he is a wonderful parent i know this first hand
I broke down at this part
Bahahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂 I feel ya!
I remember the first time I saw this, I cried like a baby. And three years later... here I am... crying like a baby.
Same
You're not the only one! I was 😢 from beginning to the very end! She's such a beautiful girl!
same
😊
Oh my goodness! It’s so true lol
It’s crazy how society can build a man to hold back his tears
I love this comment
That’s crazy sad
The truth
That's so sad.
Shady Plum it really is it’s crazy 😓😢
I'm sorry son .. but she isn't over it. She needs a hug...and a good sense of security that u won't leave again.
Well said
What happened tho I'm confused
@@ftmrebel7500 you're disgusting
Ftm REBEL you’re an idiot
Agreed. Seems to still be some pain there. She's still young tho. There's room and time for her to work through her feelings. She's a sweetheart tho and so loyal to him!
Kids love their parents just because they exist
My dad exist i don't love him he doesn't want me ..
@@crybab3y__ hi I recommend you to listen to William Branham's sermons they are so important, urgent
Hi all of you you should really listen to William Branham's sermons they are so important, urgent
Tziporah Yisra'El Soooo true
Tziporah Yisra'El Soooo true
Children know, children understand. They’re so intellectual, and perceptive. Yet rarely given the grace they deserve.
This is soo deep. This is what I told someone the other day and they made me feel stupid😔😔
@@loveinaabmorgan9209 your level of thinking is beyond theirs!
when he says "Dr.Mia" and her whole face lights up and she smiles ❤
Angel McKinley that bit made me smile so much
Its breaking my heart to see a 9 year old in so much pain. No child should ever be in so much pain.
Iman Najeeb no kids for u 😂
Ever!! This hurt my heart so much!!! 😥
amen
I have
Iman Najeeb you so right
This is so touching. This little girl reminds me of myself as a child. I'm a 70 year old grandmother, who is still that little girl who never had a father because he was murdered at the age of 22. Girls need their fathers, all children need their fathers.
We're so glad you were able to connect to Mia and see yourself in her. Thank you so much for sharing.
cocoa banks thank you. To God be the glory!
You must be a very up to date grandma to be able to use tech at this level
Zekho I don't want my brain to stop working. I taught myself photoshop 7.0. If you don't use it you lose it.
1960's girl Wow! Much respect!
Dad was really fighting back those tears. I'd love this to be shown to fathers struggling with addiction, behavioral issues, or even just troubled young men. I can see this making a radical positive impact.
Yup
Agreed
Just did
This is how all the deadbeat fathers should be opening up and owning up to their own problems as to why they left their own families.
I also agree and to those parents in jail so they work hard to come out.
My heart is breaking for this little girl. She’s too young to be this sad.
Bey Hive Amen
She’s not over it. And I think subconsciously she understood how serious the conversation was. She’s heart from Tht gap he was away I guess
Bey Hive yea well some of us just don’t get that happy childhood.
You should be sad for generation Z that have parents failing them and teaching them what is right and what is wrong. We are coming to a place where right and wrong is blurred. This little girl is good. She’s strong and capable. And how do you know she’s sad? She was just emotional. It’s completely normal and common for children.
She is so full of emotion. She seems like a very caring person even tho she is young
she needs to stop crying so i can't stop crying now.
We'll all cry together.
friend! I see you on the WW and the Real comments. It's nice to see a familiar face. And yes girl, this here melted my ice cold heart.
relatv216 heyyyyy girl :) What is WW?? sorry i don't know.
Eve Yitu Wendy Williams lol
Eve Yitagesu right 😫😫
That little girl is going to go on and do great things in her life.
Yes speak greatness over her life
Amen!
He's tougher than me lawd when she said "You're actually a great parent" I had to seriously get ahold of myself lol a weeping mess.
GIRL! You are not aloneee
Lol. Human connection. Beautiful thing
Girl I stared bawling
That was a sweet moment. I was just disappointed he didn't say anything...like..thank you baby (SOMETHING)! It was an awkward silence then he just moved on as if he didn't hear what she said.
@@adriennegibsonchristopher2293 me too. Maybe he didn’t think the same. That’s why he didn’t say anything. He didn’t know how to respond.
when she reassured him that he was a good parent and that there was nothing to add to him to make him better parent made me cry my eyes out ugh
Thank you💚
Her questions were powerful. It seems that she is in his life for self betterment. Many times the child is the adult and the parent is the child.
Case in point.
Glad they are together. Bless them both and a blissful family union.
Same😭❤️
She loves him. That’s the purest part of the video.
@@aasiyaid-deen2690 She is not "the adult" she did not write those questions herself. She was raised by her parents to be that mature and composed. If you think she really came out of the womb that composed...like? You can already tell he's so very adult by the way he holds himself and maintains calm.
@@samaraisnt they didnt mean that in a literal way but in a figurative way of a parent having things to learn from their child so in that sense the child was parenting the parent. But only in that sense, as we do acknowledge the importance of the natural parent/child order. Sometimes children can really surprise us with the treasures within them 😊
This needs to be a try not to cry video
right? oh my 😢😢😢
I failed at the first second
amaya searcy no one would win😭
Maryama Farah I won.
I lost lol
the way he speaks to her!!!.. how he answers these questions as if he's speaking to an adult but makes the effort to elaborate in a way a child can understand without losing her in the process.. these are some seriously intense questions
yeah I love that!
Good communication skills
no such thing as lose or have or not
xoDannieDee *True*
This was great. My dad and I would do this almost weekly and there are intense questions that would come up. It made us closer and stronger. I wish more people would do it. This young lady see her father in a high regard but you could tell how much it pains her to lose him. Their love and bond is there.
The spirit of this child....my goodness. She is a gift.
Agreed
She loves and cares deep..Dr Mia
Her pain is palpable. Such sad eyes. Daddy, don’t let her down again. 😔
Tieia Middleton yesssss! Truth
Tieia Middleton I said the same thing 😔
Right, she can’t stop crying, she’s been through so much, and been very strong through whatever obstacles her family had to deal with. She’s way too emotional. This man is very important to her and he can’t let this little girl down again. She look up to him 100 percent. I’m even crying.
Y’all good can don’t talk about me what you y’all I mean I’m just going not be going to y’all do you want know what you I don’t know 🤷♀️ is I want something to do something I don’t know y the money for in a little bit I more like t and I will give call her when and I don’t know 🤔 is a the what day she is leaving her she house now I will edon’t I is was a little princess 👸 I love 💗 I I’m sorry for your long time and I don’t know 🤷♀️ I was just going to y’all call you and I will text her when I leave I am going on a walk and then I ya got to take her to get her dad and
YES Tieia Middleton this is what I was thinking too!!, she needs to be able to trust and believe and count on him not letting her down again. I'm praying for a successful outcome.
'You're actually a good parent' you could see how much that meant to him❤️
I'm late but That part made me wanna cry
He was stunned! God is so good because he continues to restore our children's faith in us even when we're not always the best parents. Children have such forgiving hearts...
I can tell He was trying so hard to hold back his tears ; but i couldn't i was crying for him 😧!
Favionna Favors so true. Same
Favionna Favors 🤣🤣🤣so true❤️
Damn I’m about to go to bed and I’m finna wake up with puffy eyes.
Favionna Favors same here
Favionna Favors I WAS SO EMOTIONAL
When he referred to her as “Doctor” and she smiled wholeheartedly 😭
YES!
Agree
7.30😢
bruh when he called her doctor Mia and they both smiled
tsonny1104 Ik 😂 that when it hit me
I hope a encourages and push her dream to a reality!!
tsonny1104 omg I totally that he said doctor me up 💀
Everybody here is crying, panting and sniffing 😭
True
Yes
Rabab Alhunaidi yes
not me bitch
jb7 really dude
this is the best "try not to cry" challenge I've ever done in my life
We still can't pass that challenge :)
Elisee 😂😂😂😂
I failed then lol
Elisee same
We have the same name!
We are all talking about the daughter but I think the father deserves some appreciation as well. He clearly has reflected upon himself, knows how to give great advice, and clearly loves her a lot. You can see it from the way he tries to hold his tears back. His words beautifully connect too. I hope this family thrives and both kids success in life
I get the feeling of both of them being appreciated, as they should be. They’re a beautiful family trying to grow.
This poor girl is filled with so much pain. Poor thing was crying before it even started. This is beautiful and hopefully therapeutic to both of them.
Thank you for sharing! You should check out Khalil on his episode of The Window! bit.ly/TheWindowKhalil
It's a beautiful thing to do this with your kids at a young age because it's raw and natural. She's not faking anything and that's what made it so much more emotional, you can feel how much she loves him its crazy
Literally Koko She is amazing her cry is for the love and extreme care she gets from her father and she feels the injustice he went through .I think she is sad for him.
Mohamed Ali The injustice was the fact that they put him in prison as an illegal migrant and he suffered. The bad things he did was when he was younger.
He didn't even say that. Don't assume things.
Why did I fall down this emotional RUclips realm. I'm done
Honestly tho, I know it's not good for me but I can't help it
You have to see the oldest biracial couple.. I’m so sad right now..
Right.
SAMEEE
This is literally me rn
When she said there's nothing to add to be a better parent...wowwww I am crying
Matt Turner yea when she said that it tore me apart lol girl is beyond her years and he is a lucky father
Crying too😭
she has beaUtiful empathy
For real😭 I strive to have a day when my daughter says that to me.
I've made the 1k number of likes......because i just cried at the fact of what you said and like i am watching the video and i burst out into tears.....
She has a quiet demeanor but behind that demeanor is great wisdom.
Daughter's need their father. Son's need their father. Life is simple!
Yes! Life is so simple, WE make it complicated.
@BIG DADDY peach Sure. And some moms are assholes. And some kids are real assholes, as well. But most people just try to do their best given the circumstances.
@Satanic Peach doesn't mean that they don't need a good and loving father.
@@mfsam1946 bullshit! Fathers offer something that mothers can't and Visa versa. While having two mothers or two fathers is better than none, it is NOT the same. Males and females offer something unique to a child's development.
Cedric Vinson Amen too that
I can't believe Mia is only 9 years old. She's more emotionally mature than most 50 year olds. God bless ❤️
Maddy Gowers 900th like
She really is! All kids are usually so much more in touch with their feelings and emotions as young kids until around the age 13 or 16 when they start to become tainted by the world and how the world tells us all to keep our emotions to ourselves or else you'll look basically unstable. It'd be awesome to live in a world where we didn't all have to lose our sense of emotion or have to hold it in to be "appropriate" and to not be viewed as "weak" or "overly emotional" This is what makes children so honest, genuine and in touch with themselves, HATE that as human's we lose those things as we get older and hide our feelings as a defense mechanism as well. Sad, but beautiful that children still get to experience this emotional freedom
Maddy Gowers yes
Maddy Gowers has to y’all come get home and from 🏠 I this chania is I don’t know want you to y’all have come do you know what I want to get do come I can don’t do
I know I'm blown away. Tears of joy and bewilderment.
The father is lucky to have such a beautiful baby girl with a big heart and pure soul. Bless her.
May Mustafa she’s absolutely stunning and it’s unbelievable she’s only 9 years old. She’s going to become someone extremely great in this world that we could all hope to become
I think it should be said that she’s lucky to have him too :). Clearly he’s made some mistakes in his past but he still managed to be “her best friend” through it all. He obviously loves her a lot.
May Mustafa hbi
It has probably been said, but how the dad constantly asks if it's his turn to speak to let his daughter fully get her thoughts out is amazing. Such a simple thing but also meaningful
Honestly I think she has so much faith in him that she is hurting because she knows he is hurting. From his point of view, he let her down and he wants to be the best father to her possible. She just doesn't want him to feel guilty and let that guilt hold him back from loving and enjoying their time together. She is a wise girl with a lot of empathy. His fight to keep the tears in while hers flow freely tells me she is also crying his unshed tears. I hope they grow past the hurt and guilt, till there is only love.
That's exactly what I thought and felt. Well said!!!
you explained it so well, it makes perfect sense.
Bruno'sBaBySquirrel it is beautiful what you have perceived .... I felt the same. She in a way wants to protect him and tell him she'll never leave...
Bruno'sBaBySquirrel perfectly said. There's nothing left for you to be a perfect parent youre actually a great parent.
Exactly, I thought just the same!!
me: *reads comments to avoid looking at her and crying too*
also me: *C R I E S*
Same!
😂😂 im dead with this comment, so true
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same
Right
Dad was trying so hard not to cry. I cried this WHOLE video. No shame. I now love this channel. It's so beautiful. New subbie. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 25 & I've been fighting it the last 3yrs. life is different for me now. ..it means more and I love worthwhile videos like this. Thank you, everyone needs to appreciate life & their loved ones more.
Journey de AbenaRose yes ma'am
I subscribed to you (: keep on keeping on girl. Stay strong ♡♡ you're stunning. much love!
Journey de AbenaRose
Journey de AbenaRose I wish you absolute strength and never lose your will to fight through this time.my best friend is battling a rare form of cancer and it's so hard watching him sometimes,but I just hope you all stay strong even when you feel weak. 💝
stay fighting beautiful
Watching this almost 4 years later and I need a follow-up on Dr. Mia and her dad!
I was just about say !!
I SERIOUSLY ASKED THAT BEFORE CLICKING THE VIDEO
Yesss
I'm fishing through the comments to see if someone posted something about an update. lol
This is what I came here for. Do that have a social media presence?
This video helped me realize I’ve never had these kind of conversations with my father. I’m 25, and I just sent him a message. After not speaking for 4 years. Thank you
Abbsters that’s beautiful
I wish I have one i feel I complete without that kink of father/daughter love so I hope you fix your relationship with him
Abbsters good for you
So wise of you! I was a “Daddy’s Girl” & Lost my father 2 years ago. Glad you made such a smart move. Love him, forgive him and allow him to love on you!! ❤️ {NO GREATER LOVE}
Wishing you the best
When she said you’re my best friend, I lost it....😩
Claire Joseph same... 😩💔
Claire Joseph!! SAME ! When I heard that I was like AWEEEEE !!! DUDEEE IM CRYING A RIVER OVER HERE
Hi.
Claire Joseph righttt😭😭😭😔
Claire Joseph I lost it too, and I had a feeling she was going to say that.
As I watched this my dad was texting me, reminding me to prepare my grad school graduation speech because he'll be sitting front row... Thank you for the reminder to be grateful for my dad's impact in my life. ❤️
k-love let me hit
woah this put a tear in my eye 💕
must be nice..
^
The girl is so mature and intelligent. The bond between her and her dad is something admirable. This was worth watching.
OMG yes! ❤
I could not have sat across that table and watched my baby girl cry like that such large heavy tears. I’d have to bring her close to me.
Gabi Maza I was thinking the same thing!
But there is some other view, or say different thinking, behind the behaviour of this girl's father. Specially there is a moment in this video , where he mention, that he realised that her baby girl is mentally and emotionally strong . And he behaving as such , may be he wants , that she have to learn selfcare , so that she cannot get hurt by anyone else , in future. But if he can express his same feeling , by giving her a hug and remove tears from her cheeks, tell , her that I want you to be more mentally strong , so that you can protect yourself from getting hurt. She can get better understanding , the message. Means I agreed with yours comment.
@@ersatnam no hes selfish and seem to not had many times to connect with her. He said it himself that he was a selfish person so the child understands his distance but is emotionally drained because she wants him around.
@@applecandyfolks7979 yeah he's so selfish because he didn't hug her 🙄. Stop it.
I was over here like "Go hug your baby man!!!!!" 😭😭😭😭
The dad was trying to hold his tears back but I cried for him😭
This little girl has the sweetest voice, she melts my heart. I hope this man does his best for her.
His voice is so calm. The way he is communicating to her is like he is creating a safe environment for just the two them.
Tierra Johnson True. You can see him hold back. He pauses and gathers himself before speaking.
Tierra Johnson dang are you an author I would love to read your books
Yes.He definitely has emotions and shows them.
she tried so hard to keep those tears in. let them out babygirl, your daddy loves you just as much as you do.
coblyfanfic yayaya
My heart melted when she said" there's actually nothing to add to you to became a great parent cuz u are actually a great parent" 😢😢
Yes wow 🤩 awesome words🥰
When she tells him that he's 'actually a great parent' you can tell it hit him pretty hard. He doesn't cry and he does moves onto the next question but just the movement of his lips shows that he was holding back something. He most likely feels that he doesn't deserve that, but is so happy that his baby girl thinks that...
Asmr for Clods RIGHTTT!! I was like, I can feel that
I was crying for him
Asmr for Clods she such a sweetheart 😭
this got to me
Exactly. Hes guilty
You could tell from the beginning that baby girl had a lot on her mind 😭 these two have my heart! I can tell that she just wants more memories with her daddy.
And how she is aware of the depth of the questions. She's smart.
When he called her Dr. Mia 😭 Baby's whole face lit up like it meant the world to her. Like she was relived he appreciated what she wanted to become in the future even though she's just a child. I really started bawling my eyes out. Such a beautiful video
BadassIzzy143 she did, kids absolutely need validation from parents it's touches their soul like no other
Man😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
She loves her dad so much it brings her to tears.
My goodness fathers the impact you have on your baby girls!!!
You know the people behind the camera was crying hard
I think if i was in the room i would be just on the floor crying my eyes out and they would probably kicked me out

Thank you for sharing.
rozey86 i know my dad but we dont have a strong connection at all. all i ever wanted was for him to love me like how my mom loves me, but it just never seemed like he did. i just hated it. ive never told anyone that before.
Taylor Sanders am sorry abt your dad. But the only love we need is frm the Creator who spoke us into existence. Only his love can fill the void and is suffice. If your heart hurts and yearns for that fatherly love ,look up to him 💕i know it's hard not being that dad's girl and having someone to guide you through life ,having to figure out life and that but you will b ok u are not alone💕
rozey86 i started crying. Oh gosh, i actually didnt know i had this much pain. Im always the one helping others haha. And you're right. God has helped me through so many things, what is to stop that now. I really needed this. Now i feel like going home to hug my mother 💛 she was my mom and my dad !
rozey86 Same!
she has a very kind heart i can see it. they both do.

HONESTLY I AM SHOOK
Jaela Love same
Ok I thought it was just me lol I started crying immediately
As soon as I saw the girl's sad face I cried immediately :(
Yessss
She had me crying and i didnt even know what we were crying about before they even got started. This little girls soul goes way beyond her years. Glad dad is in a better place in his life to be there for his family.
Beautiful and sad.
Me too 😭
Her soul is way beyond her years because she's lived through shit that mo child should have to live through, she's experienced some major pain. That'll be hard to get over.
you would’ve thought i knew the entire story the way i started crying
I’m just so happy all this is happening now when she’s young. She doesn’t have to grow up and be a 20 something year old lady dealing with daddy issues. The pain happened in her childhood and it’s getting resolved in her childhood. awesome ❤️
Coming from someone that had his dad taken away for 2 years then deported till this day it touches you in an emotional way. Now I'm in a melancholy mood.
Jonathan Gomez sending love your way man.
Victoria Dailey Thank you appreciate it. ☺
Jonathan Gomez I hope you get to see him again
I do. I go to Mexico every summer to visit him.
I feel you, I was in the same situation.
I was crying so loud that my grandma was like QUE PASA? (what happened)
Oml that was really my grandma rn, sis came from the basement and dropped her beer wondering why I was crying 😂😂
LMAO. ugly crying?
I'm snoring laughing crying and laughing and crying again
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
beautiful relationship..she's so well spoken and answers readily..I love that..she clearly can remember and express everything she loves about her father and not allowing his incarceration affect her view of him as her hero..
We agree. You should definitely check out Khalil share his story on our 3rd episode of The Window! bit.ly/TheWindowKhalil
I'm 48 yrs old. This is a recommended video on a Saturday morning in 2021 and I'm crying a river. So thanks.

Lex B literally same, when she answered the best friend question and started crying it just started coming out of me 😭
Lex B same
😂😂😂😂😂
Lex B Ikr..😢
Lex B lmao right? 😭😂😭😂😭😂😂
He trying so hard not to cry smh us men don’t feel like we can cry and that’s sad
Pmg Davis I think he’s just trying to be strong in front of his daughter
Tbh I’m not mad at him because I know for a facts my pride would never let me cry on camera no matter the circumstances let along in front of my baby girl ✊🏾 that’s just the way it is for us men
He's just not the type for it.
And it's important to show her that you're not crying. She needs a strong father.
Us men, what does that even mean? What about us Human Being ? that’s how you take your pride away and humble yourself to cry. Who cares if others see you? Me I don’t care anymore, because if you don’t let it out, you are weak. Strong humans are the ones that Cry.
@Reg. Pson "It's not a sign of pride to not cry."
Tf are you talking about? Of course it is a sign of pride to not cry. Now, if you want to debate whether having too much pride can be a bad thing, then have *THAT* debate.
You should know what you're talking about before leaving an opinion..
Their eyes have so many stories in them.
Truthful Poetry 📝🎨❤️
It's crazy cause you can just honestly tell what happened in their lives
6:03 - BRUHHHHH
Alexander Davis right ?
Her soul shines through so much. She is so present. You can feel the intensity in both of them.
*Yo her voice is so sweet*
One day, if I have kids and a husband, I will do this every month or every two months. It is important to listen and talk about the feelings in the family, I want my kids to be able to express how they feel... I wish my family talked more about our feelings, because that's really important.
This is such a great idea
Ruth LedZ great idea im doing it too
Ruth LedZ greattttt idea!!! i will try this with my kids
Ruth LedZ it's really good idea I'm gonna do that
Why am I putting myself through this emotional stress
Seriously

This little girl is a beautiful soul with such love, wisdom, empathy, and forgiveness in her heart. Where ever you are now, I wisg both you and your father, and family, a healthy loving love for one another.
The sad part is he’s in jail for being an immigrant not for committing an actual bad crime

Pathetic

You made me smile
WHY did I click this....
God, so much dust in the air.
Lmao🤣😂
Someone is cutting onions in here
Lordy. The dust.
Right 😂😭😭😭😖
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌❤❤
She is full of pain. I wouldn't be able to sit across from her and just ask random questions. I would have to hold her and ask her what the pain is saying, apologize for my shortcomings, validate her feelings and ask her how can we make this relationship better.
I feel they probably did that behind closed doors
Exactly! It's like he's more worried about how he looks (not caught crying on camera) than soothing his CRYING little girl. Be a man, SHOW her some love!!!
@@a.w.3772 he can't show her love at the moment, they have to wait until after the segment
What makes you think that hasn't happened? This isn't their entire story smh.
@@a.w.3772 go check out his insta @khacumberbatch and see how present and loving of a father he is. I think the point of the segment is to HAVE the conversation. In life you need to have hard conversations and open and sometimes that makes people emotional. I am sure they had a moment afterward but this was about not hiding behind the hugs and comfort of a loved one and being open.
The way she smiled when he called her 'Doctor Mia'
i cri
Bts' 2!3! Lyrics Hit me hard like a truck sorry to interrupt the cuteness of your comment but BTS BTS BTS!!!

When she said her dad was her best friend I cried 😭
Me tooooooo 😭😭😭
Same here
I love how her daddy plant the vision of her dreams to become a Vet. Just realize how necessary these conversations are needed. It’s the healing process for me.
When she called him an excellent parent, it touched me.
Nyakaat 😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️
This was so emotional 😧 she had the saddest eyes and her little voice just melts your heart.. you can tell he's so in love with her
