  • This was intense.. My dad was almost taken away from me on October of 2011. He suffered a heart attack and was out on life support because he could not breathe by himself. He got an open heart surgery because his heart was working 15%, that time was the hardest I've ever been through. Thankfully he is by my side for a long time I hope. When I think about him leaving I burst into tears. But he is a strong man and I'll stick with him forever. Thank you for opening up with the world because it jus

  • That was really beautiful.

  • my dad is the most evil person on this earth, unimaginably/unrealistically evil, you couldn't even think the things he does, and then some people get their lovely dads taken from them. this choked me up.

  • Being 17 and losing your dad and having a sick mom must've been really difficult, you're a one tough cookie.

  • Ingrid, I thought at some points of my life, everybody was out to get me, even my mom and dad, and after this video, I realized that I should capture every moment that I can get with friends, family, everyone. Because any moment they could be gone forever. I cant relate to much to your loss,I havent had too many, and not one that I remember or knew well, but I can say sorry, without trying to make it more devistating or rude. We love you Ingrid,

    XXXOOOXXXOOOXXXOOO <3 :):):):) <3

  • I had to cry, Ingrid. You're inspirational <3

  • thanks you Ingrid

  • Thank you so much Ingrid!! This will be a video i will continually refer back to during times i feel lost and broken

  • Alright Ingrid. You got me crying. I never knew we had so much in common. My father died when I was 17, too. My mother has battled cancer too. I too did a year abroad, after which I rediscovered myself, but I came back to find a lot of my friends were not the people I thought they were. I had to find new contacts, needed to surround myself with people and passions that fit with the person that I had become.

    I am happy for the both of us that we're on the right path! <3 Love you!

  • @Jazzabelle85 It is so brave of you to share that! <3 :)

  • study abroad? where??

    this is so touching, thankyou for this video!!! thankyou so much! you are amazing!

  • @loriecious She was in France, Belgium, Italy and England! I think that's it :)

  • You're such a sweetheart. I lost my father too, when I was 5. You're lucky you got to spend many quality years with him but it doesn't make up for that loss, and I'm sorry. However, you send such a positive message and I thank you for that. You're inspirational in many ways. Nice video, hun.

  • Thank you for sharing Ingrid. You're so brave and an inspiration. What a beautiful person you are :)

  • sitting here crying . im so sorry for everything you have lost and i am so proud of the amazing woman you have become. you are a big role model of mine

  • I like you Ingrid. I am happy to say we very nearly share a birthday. I'm the day after yours and I am few years older. Go Aquarian Love!

  • @nicobeing Hey! When's her/your birthday? I'm also Aquarius feb 11 :)

  • From 7:00 onwards I always cry...

  • thank you very much for sharing this with us Ingrid. xoxo

  • Ingrid, you really are an inspiration to me. I always had this inner battle in me, being insecure about the way I looked. This video made so much sense. Thank you. :')

  • You are such a beautiful person Ingrid you are such an inspiration to thousands of people hope that one day I can meet you, love you so much! xxxx

  • You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Not ontly from the outside, but also from the inside. You've grown so much, and I honestly have to say that, even though you don't even know me, I'm so proud of you. You are my biggest inspiration and my role model. I hope to be such an amazing person as you are when I grow up. I lost my mom 3 years ago and still miss her everyday, but you made me believe that there is still hope for me. so thank YOU. <3 ~ Laura, 13 yrs.

  • This is why your're my favorite guru.

  • i needed this video, i have watched all your new ones and i came across this one today, when I really needed it. You give me hope, that life can be better. You are a truly amazing person, i wish you all the best of luck in your life, but I dont think you will need it. Thank you for this video and sharing with all of us, it not an easy to share the "bad" with people, so thank you Ingrid.

  • I cried. I've never met my grandmother. (my mother's mum) She past away 12 years before I was born. It's so sad that people you love is suddenly taken away from you. :( Thank you.<3

  • Inspirational. Subscribed!

  • Yep. I cried.

  • This made my cry, i lost my Dad to cancer. Your Dad would be so proud of you, Ingrid.

  • No one is perfect. All we can do is try to be our best under sometimes difficult circumstances. You seem to be doing just that. And I hope that the young man waiting for you at the altar will be as wonderful as the man who couldn't be there.

  • I was crying so much I had to stop and pause the video to breathe so that i could hear you talk (':

  • It's not fair that father's like mine can sit around and forget their daughters but good fathers like yours are taken from you. It just shouldn't be that way.

  • @mrsgalab920 Please, be THANKFUL for what you have. You never know what you have until it is gone.

  • @mrsgalab920 Amen.

  • how did her dad pass??

  • stay strong Ingrid

  • Oh Ingrid this was such an amazing video to watch, I can totally relate to you as I lost my Mum suddenly when i was 16. Your Father will be SO proud of the person you are turning into as you always hold yourself with such poise and dignity. I hope you and Luke have many many years of happines together. Thank you for sharing this with us (and making me cry!) x

  • OH LORD!!!! You got me cryin'!!!!!! So beautiful, you are very powerful with your words!

  • Your father is still with you <3

  • I related to this so much Ingrid. And you really made me feel more in touch with my feelings and emotions. Thank you so much. You are a beautiful individual, inside and out.

  • This is like the most emotional and beautiful video I've ever seen, everytime I watch it I start crying...

  • I decided to watch this video again, and when you started talking about your dad, I LOST it! I can't stop crying! I love you so much Ingrid! And your dad would be SOOO proud!

  • Ingrid, thank you so much for opening up like this. You are a strong, and inspiring sweet-hearted woman, with a great sense of humor. If your father could see you now he would be the proudest papa around. This was a very tough thing to share, but this letter has helped me and many others to see that there is a light still, and a chance for greatness even when the light is beginning to dim, or when that light has been stolen. I just want you to know that sharing this has helped me to not give up.

  • I had to pause this video so I could cry,Ingrid your an intelligent beautiful person who is a role model to many young girls like me,thankyou.

    Love from a 13 year old girl in England x

  • Whenever I feel alone and like crap, I know I can come back to this video and remember what you told me:

    "No one's life is perfect...we all have our own struggles that we have to go through."

    "If you are ever in a place where you feel like there's no hope and you've lost everything, you havent...there's always hope.

    "Keep fighting and you will find your light again.When you do, you will be stronger than ever."

    Thank you, Ingrid.

I wish you all the best and a very merry christmas :)

  • Oh my gosh Ingrid. This made me cry so much! I have the biggest lump in my throat from trying to hold back the tears. I love all of your videos and you inspire me every time I watch one. You come across as such a self-assured, strong, independent person and it's obviously because of how strong you have been through all of the hard times in your life. I think you are a wonderful person. Hope you have a lovely Christmas! xxx

    I've recently been watching your Vlogmas videos and never got the chance to watch your vlogust videos. I relate to what you have gone through. I'm 18 and on April 4, 2011 my mom passed away. She went before my prom, before my graduation and like you said with your dad, they wont be there when we walk down the aisle. I support you every step of the way, I'd love to meet you one day.
