Visiting My Son's Apartment 

Ricky is such the typical parent. We worry about our kids nonstop, we want them safe and we always gotta let them know they slippin’ on the cleanliness. I tell my three sons all the time, if you want God to bless you with something more you have to take care of what he’s already blessed you with. God bless everyone who’s reading this message. Blessed Be ❤

This has put a smile on my face. Thank you Jesus! ❤️🙏🙏🙏

I know he doesn't want to leave his son right now. They are troopers for continuing to push on. Bless their family.

Awh man, that hug made me tear up. U can tell they both held each other a little extra tight for their own comfort

This is so nice to watch the relationship between a father and a son.He is doing what a dad has to do even after losing his oldest son.Pray that the Lord will continue to cover this family with his Love

That hug was too real, Rick almost teared up, Father/Son 🤎💯🤞🏾

Rickey is a natural caregiver. 🙏🙌

Rickey, you had me dying laughing, what a great father, and for the first time in a couple of days, seeing you laughing and enjoying Malik, I now can smile again, God bless, He is still GOOD!

Love the way he replies "yes sir" and "no sir". Very respectful. Put a smile on my face.

Ricky you may not know it but you're setting your son up to be a wonderful husband.. And you're also showing him how to be a great dad

It feels like I have been mourning with them as if I lost a loved one. I know they are trying to stay positive and adjust to their life without Brandon. I’m continuing to pray for them.🙏🏾

It’s great seeing you laughing and enjoying your son.

You're a BEAUTIFUL father, Rickey! God bless you abundantly, Sir. 🙏❤️😇 All is well.

This make me cry happy tears. To see a dad instruct his son is a pleasure. ❤❤❤

Picture of a father and a dad...this just touched my heart

Ricky doesn’t want to leave Malik. He keeps finding stuff to clean 🧼 so he can stay around longer 💜.

This is my dad all day and now I sound just like him towards my kids. ❤️ You never stop teaching.

This made me tear up. I wish I had this type of love and concern from my father. Never knew how that felt and I’m in my 30’s now. Beautiful family

Ricky you are so hilarious even in your grieving period.I love the way you interact with your son malic,cleaning his stove etc. You are a good dad. Thank you for making us laugh through our hard times. I just love the way you give God praise even in your times. You give me great inspiration in my 73 yrs. We love the Ricky Smiley morning show.

Just like my momma. I’ve been out of college and have a whole family now and she still telling me what to do with my house-throwing away things and all. 😂 But I will always cherish these moments. Martin was my go to whenever I was stressed out especially during exams when I was in college.

I thought my mother was severely OCD, but I think you have her beat! LOL. You came in throwing extra napkins away, cleaning dust, and wiping down stoves. I absolutely love how attentive you are and how you instill those qualities in your sons; they are going to make great husbands🩵🩵

Rickey, you are such a great dad!!

Ricky sure is a wonderful father. He is so funny.Have me cracking up all the time.

It’s wonderful to see them as adults. I remember watching them on the show. They are all still so respectful. Love it. 🤣😂 this is why Malik hadn’t invited Ricky. They know daddy doesn’t about cleaning up. Ricky used to get on this about cleaning. The funniest part is Ricky looking around for more dust and webs. My mama does the same thing when she comes to my house.

Sharing these videos with fans is good for him. It is therapeutic. It helps to talk about

LOL! Rickey, you better put on a N95 mask with all that dust. Glad to see ya spending time with Malik!

Malik, that place is too nice to be dusty!! You knew your dad was going to clown you.🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can make a snowman outta dust 🤧 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣 Our kids, I tell you. We all know Ricky taught him better. Love the bond Ricky has with his children ❤️. It's great seeing the both of them laughing together. Blessings and healing to this family in the blood of Jesus ✨️ S.I.P BRANDON 🕊 🕊 🎈🎈

This is what an Active father looks like. Prayers to you and your family Rick

I'm happy to see Mr. Smiley keeping his mind productive and seeing his videos. Sorry for the loss of your son. Believe me, we all are praying for your family.

I laughed so hard watching this video. I feel guilty for you cheering me up. I am so glad you are documenting this journey. It has blessed me.

Lol I bet he can’t wait for Rickey to leave lol Rickey riding him on that dusty apartment 😅😂🤣

We love you Rickey! You’re an AMAZING DAD!! Malik is sooooooo handsome & well mannered! 🙏🏾💙

Ricky, you are the same way I am about my son. You are an amazing Father in my eyes. I'm 62 yrs old and raised my son as a single father with Full-Custody (through the courts) of my son when he was 4 yrs old. He's 29 and living in ATL trying to become an entrepreneur and first responder. So, let the others know that You and I are the Fathers that took on the task God gave us with the gift of our children. The gifts God gave us. Peace & Blessings my brother.

This is a truly blessed son to have a great father like Rick Smiley. He is so funny and spontaneous. God bless you Ricky Smiley and your family. 😊😊🙏🏾🙏🏾

A true Leo I swear! I'm the EXACTLY same petty when it comes to cleaning lol 🤣 cleanliness is next to Godliness. first order of operation (living) is order.... lol.. My grandma was like this (clean as a whistle) I truly understand it. lol 🤣some people don't understand that having clutter around you can cause depression as well. Stay clean my loves. Love you Rickey and Malik. Very nice place Malik. cleaner than most. Continued prayers for you

I love it! Malik has grown so much since the reality show. Praying for all of you.

That was so funny when he said; you going to bake a cake. Then you'll get lock jaw in your mouth. 😂😂😂😂

So wonderful to see you smile. I was the same way with my daughter when got her first apartment when she was away at college. Malik I’m not a big duster either..🤣. Sending you guys love and prayers ❤️🙏🏾

It’s always a blessing to have parents that are down to earth and u can actually have a relationship with to take constructive criticism with love ❤

"She cleaned what???" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂...you know your daddy is super clean and neat (we know just by watching all of his social media channels)😅 💕

He is a nice young man so give him a little break. You raised him right 🙏🏾❤️

I love the love that Ricky has for his son! Ricky keep them straight and right! Keep on loving her kids and when they’re older they learn to appreciate all that you have instilled in them. Got to love it!!!

Rickey you got me rolling. Our children houses are different from ours 😂😂😂😂😂 #livelike14 It’s like they forget what we taught them 😂😂😂😂 Yes, you’ll have good and bad days. Eventually the good will out weigh the bad. Like you told Malik, what would Brandon want you guys to do. For me, we laugh and think of what Bryce would have said or how he would have acted ❤ It’s a day by day process. Sending my prayers love ❤🙏🏽#14

Your strength is helping myself gain more strength in the loss of my mother. Knowing that she’s resting in paradise. You are definitely a great role model

Hey Malik and Rickey, keep smiling and loving on each other.🙏🙏🙏

I’m glad Rickey is in better spirits now.

UH UH Malik, don't listen to your daddy about those napkins and FAWKS. When ppl come over there that you don't trust where their lips has been, give them the FAWKS from church's chicken that's in your drawer. LOL! Nice apartment :) That was nice of the couple to pay for you all's food.....

Good job Ricky, you're a great father and you can tell by the interaction and mannerism. It isn't easy raising kids. Each one is different. Malik has grown into an exceptional young man. Stay close to him, and may God continue to encourage you and the family. 🫡 😘

Rickey, I am going to continue to pray for you and your family. You are a blessing to so many. Continue to let your light shine. Brandon's spirit will live on through his daughter, Storm. Be sure to make note of a red cardinal when you see it. That's your message from Heaven that everything is okay. May God continue to bless you. You have ministered to so many through this difficult time. Thank you for allowing us to go on this journey with you. It's providing healing to so many.

This was such a beautiful visit. There's nothing like a caring parent. Dang I miss my mom 🥺 Deepest condolences to the entire Smiley family 🙏🏽

Straight dad mode😂😂😂 That’s why he’s just now inviting you over.

If I had a father this is how I would want him to be…Such an awesome father giving directions and talking on his level!!! God bless you Rick and family

Fatherhood at it's best! Praying for strength and peace of mind 🙏🏾🤎

Malik is a respectable young man and he loves his father so much.

That's what dad's are for, help clean! Ya'll look happy together ❤️👍🏽

"Say your prayers and watch Martin" nice heart warming video that inspired me. Thanks Rickey for sharing.

Nice apartment. Rickey is almost as bad as my mother. When I was in college, I shared an apartment with 3 other people. They used to love when my mom came to visit because she deep cleaned the apartment and cooked up a storm. Normally, we were rarely in the apartment except to sleep but when my mom came to visit, all my roommates would hang around the apartment. I appreciate Malik realizing that his Dad needed to spend time with him and make sure that he is okay. Praying for the family.

The People's Comedian! We love you Rickey! Our children are true blessings 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤️

Continued prayer for you Rickey! You and your family! Continue to look up...There lies the strength and joy that will carry you through.

Nice of you to shout out the restaurant 🙌🏾 So awesome of the gentleman to bless you with dinner. You’re blessed Rickey!

It's so nice to see you spending quality time with your son, Malik. The dusting sessions were hilarious. Be safe and may God continue to bless you and your family.

Absolutely love this and your bond with your babies. ❤️

Rickey said, “She cleaned what?”😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Malik is never inviting you back.

Praying you made it home safely 🙏 Love seeing you with Malik, giving him advice and asking the officer to check on him. But when you talked about making a snowman out of the dust that was too funny🤣. What you said about Martin is the truth. That show will put a smile on your face. God bless you Ricky and your family 🙏

This takes me back to my mum when she would come and expect my place. Ricky your son is so lovely and respectful ❤

😂😂😂Rickey the reason he didn't invite your ass to his apartment is because of just what you're doing!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣😭

DL: "If ya got a lil girlfriend, she need to help you dust and keep it clean. Don't have her coming over here kickin' it wit' feet up. All right nah, that's what you want?!!!" 🤣😜😂

I absolutely love the type of father he is. ❤ I have a great relationship with my son like this, I hope it’s forever with my kids

😂😂😂😂 ❤ it We need to see more men especially black men show love to their children. This made my day! Praying for you and your family. Safe travels.

😂😂 You remind me so much of my dad!! He was military, and wanted things RIGHT! 😂😂 He would have been 86 today. Happy Birthday in heaven dad! ❤️

ain't nothing like encouragement from your Parent's I don't care how old you are i love when my mom call me I am 45 yrs old🙌🙌💯💯💞💞

Ricky, this video touched my heart so much to show love to our family and friends. You had me cracking up when you were telling him how to keep his apartment.🙏🏾❤🤣

Rickey glad you went and checked on your younger son. He was happy to have you there. Plus giving life learning tips on to do things. Someone looking for you you return the favor. Rickey I pray God continue to give you the strength and peace to g an be a inspiration to your children and grandchildren. Blessings to you and your family.

RICKEY.... Stop writing on the appliances lol lol

That’s exactly what my Alabama grandma said to us growing up…take care of the things you have and God will bless you with more.

😂😂😂😂 Get him together and be petty at the same time. Lol!! I love it!

😂🤣😂 WRITTING ON THE STOVE! IT'S A YOUTH THING!🤣😂🤣 YOU'RE SUCH A DAD!💖

Aww do not put him on blast Rickey He will clean it up He know how you are He learned well about cleaning, so he will get it together. Nice place for a young man going to school May God continue blessing you both 🙏 ♥

You two had me smiling really hard. So sweet.

Rickey, you hit me wanting to throw away all these restaurant condiments I got in my drawers!!!! 😂😂😂

You are loved Rickey! A real one! It has been so faith strengthening to go on this journey with you. I pray for your strength and your families strength each day. This video made me laugh and smile. You're such a great dad. Your children know it and love you. I too watch Martin anytime I am down and feeling sad. God allows us those smiles laughs and comforts. I am glad you were able to spend time with your son. God bless yall and safe travels

That's why he didn't want you over there😂🤣 for you to make fun of his house keeping bc you are daddy. Its good to see you smiling and being Rickey again, we love you

Oh Ricky that's so sweet to have him to check on your son I got tears in my eyes

Malik is so soft spoken and handsome; just like you. Rickeyyyyy thats the very reason he had not invited you over! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But for real, i am the exact same way and have done the exact same thing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They can watch tv and see all that dust and act like they dont see it! 🤣🤣🤣 He has a very nice apartment!

If Rickey says the food is good... it's good! 🙏💝

This was so organic! Just beautiful! Mr. Smiley isn’t trying to be perfect, he’s just trying to do the best he can. It’s the effort that counts for me. I don’t need perfection either. Wished I can have this kind of relationship with my parents.

Once a parent…ALWAYS a parent.😂😂😂 I love it

Someone has skipped quite a few Saturday morning cleaning sessions 😭😂 you're right Rickey, Martin will keep you laughing and happy allllll day

Rickey You are a great Man...Father... Grandfather...I'm very proud of You....God keep You and Your Family safe💞💞🙏🙏💞💞

Rickey, you are such a dad ☺️. Even during this time in your life you still recognize that you gotta keep goin. You are such a wonderful spirit and a FANTASTIC dad!

Great Father ❤ I wish I had that for me and especially my children.

M-A-L...🤣🤣🤣, Man get the paper towels, Brah...Come on Brah!!!🤣🤣🤣 I love this!!!

Ricky, it's good to see and hear you laugh with your son after all you been through. When you wrote your name in that dust lol had me getting up dusting too 😂 continue prayers 🙏 ❤️ to you brother.

This is a divine demonstration of fatherhood correction support and leadership I love how you emphasize the connection between your success and keeping the home/your space clear and organized And that lesson on discernment when it comes to choosing a mate Blessings abundance and success can’t flow to you if your space isn’t clear

God bless you and your family. Thank you for training your son to be a clean, respectful young man, it will take him far in life. As a fatherless child, this made me cry. As a person of great faith and humanity, it made my heart rejoice to see you instill values into your son and him show you respect for doing it. Thank you and may God continue to bless you🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love this! There's so much power in a good Father and yes to watching Martin. It's definitely one of my favorite shows to uplift my spirits!

Rickey is a great parent, strong and concederate ,a great person, and a big inspiration to everyone
