That’s what’s amazing about her parents… just great people, which made me want to help them even more. I’ve known them for 5 yrs and they’ve never asked me for anything. ( or ask Razel to ask me for anything ) many times I’ve offered to do things for them and I have to force them to accept it. Like Pops tooth. I’ve told him I will pay for everything to get it taken cared of, so he won’t be in pain. And yet he won’t accept…actually Razel and I had some heavy conversations about the consequences of not getting it taken cared of. Hopefully he’ll accept my offer in the future.

Thank you for watching our channel Gentle Daisy. And thank you even more for the compliments. Yes, RAZELs parents are tremendous people. They don’t speak English, but I remember the first time I met them they gave me a great big hug and a smile. We sat next to each other for a long time. I would say something and RAZEL would translate for us. They made me feel very welcome. TIL this day I still remember that first meeting. RAZELs parents are going through a bit of a hard time, health wise. We are doing everything we can medically and also keeping them comfortable. Once again. Thank you for joining us. You have a great day!

Great video! Thank you both for sharing the short visit to the province. I don't think Razel realized how much of a personal thing that is to share so thank you Razel. Cheers to you both and safe travels

We’ve been asked to do this video for a while. We’ve also been hesitant for a while too…all of our videos are spontaneous, non scripted or rehearsed…as you can tell lol. All I do is turn the camera on and out of 45min of live video I edit it down to 15 to 20 min. RAZEL doesn’t see the video until I post it. So you can probably hear some of the things she is saying to me right now about what I should of edited out..like the messy bedrooms lol…thanks for joining us Phil.

During the beginning of the pandemic we had send money to RAZEL parents to get the house renovated…much to our surprise when Razel was able to go to her parents house. The house looked worse. That’s when I ask Razel to stay there and hire some good contractors and manage the renovations. So she actually became the contractor and hire many subs with the help of her classmate who was out of work. He was actually a foreman doing construction at sm mall of Asia before he was laid off during the pandemic.
