I lost my mom a few months back and it is extremely devastating. tbh this video wonderful and reminds me of how no matter what age you are (I'm 22) you will always need your mom. And tbh this is what it felt like being with her before she passed away. Me her giant baby. I need her. I miss her so much. Welp here come the tears.

Sending lots of hugs. ❤️I lost my mom last year. I spent part of her last night in her hospital bed snuggling with her. I was 37. You’re never too old for mom snuggles.

I will never forget the image of my 60 year old mother crawling into bed with my 86 year old grandma. And just curling into a little ball next to her.

It was beautiful, yes, but also, I wish I had never seen it, I feel haunted knowing someday I'll do the same for her

u/FunSushi-638 3h ago

Oh boy... I'm bawling. I can picture this so clearly in my mind. I lost my mother in 2021. I WISH I could have curled up with her, but she was in hospice care and didn't want a bed. All she had was a recliner chair. It was awful. I had just ordered her a new one... 2 days before she passed.

u/LukesRightHandMan 11h ago

My sincere condolences. Yours is exactly the same story and timeline as my girlfriend, except she’s a couple years younger. I never realized the impact losing a parent would have on someone our age, especially when I’ve been through and seen a lot of loss. She’s devastated, more than a year on.

u/coslet 13h ago edited 13h ago

It’s been 5+ years and I still have those days. I’ll play her favorite music and just remember her metaphorical wing over me. In all honesty I still need it, but I know she’d be happy to see my growth. My heart is with you ❤️

Lost my mom 4 years ago, I was 25. It sucks, but just know you can live on and make them proud. I like to think my mom is watching me go on in life and I feel a little cheer from somewhere when I do something good. I got my masters and I just knew she knew it and was beaming with pride.

Dammit now I gave myself the tears

I live with and care for my parents. They're in their '80s, mom is disabled, and she still tries to take care of me and in her softer moments calls me her baby girl. She never did that once i was no longer a little girl, and I love to hear it now. I treasure her.

u/emc3o33 7h ago

I am so, so sorry you’ve lost your mom. I’m more than twice your age and still miss/need my mom. I chose to believe she’s still with me in some way, but it’s not the same and it sucks. I wish I could hug her again. Well, here come my tears.

u/Aalleto 11h ago

I just lost both of my grandmas in November and last week and I'm just reeling from the loss and dramatic shift in family dynamic. I cannot even imagine your loss, I'm so sorry

u/destroythethings 3h ago

fuck, I am so very sorry you lost your mom. especially at your age. I lost my mom when i was 33, and I'm still lost, a couple years later. things like this always remind me of her too. sounds like you had a good one. some day not too far off you will be able to laugh sometimes instead of cry. sending hugs. 💜

My mother is very short and I am very tall. I've been taller than her since I was 10. This video definitely reminds me of us!

Peacock egg. Lol. Lord.

This is absolutely adorable though. I was waiting for a clip of mom just sitting on baby’s back like everything’s exactly the same as it always has been. Just trying to keep her little girl safe and warm.

u/xxsuscitatexx 10h ago

I know we'll never truly know, but does the chicken ever think "this is a weird looking my kind" , "she's getting REAL big for one of my kind" and if so at what point. Like she clearly isn't hesitant to be Mom regardless

u/foxyshmoxy_ 4h ago

In my mind she's bragging to all the other hens how special and beautiful her baby is. and so big! so strong!

u/Cyynric 11h ago

We used to live somewhere with a lot of open yards and woods, and one of our neighbors had a roaming gang of chickens and guineafowl. They would wander from yard to yard, then return home at night. They were so much fun, and our dog loved to sit at the window and watch them. We called them the "fancy chickens."

u/holagatita 5h ago

there was a peacock that roamed around my Midwestern city for a couple months in mid 2020, being loud as fuck on people's roofs and cars, and delighting everyone on the Facebook group's made to track him. he lives on a farm now and has a wife lol

The still sleeping under mom got me. I'm tearing up. I remember when I was little I loved sleeping with my mama. I hated my step-dad bc he didn't want me sleeping with my mom anymore. I'm an adult now and my mom and I aren't close. Anyway, I love birds!!
