In November, Chanel shared an emotional message on Instagram to her mom, praising Austin for being the "person who has shaped my whole world."

At the start of the video, Chanel showed her message, which had been written in the Notes app,
“How much longer until I have with my mom. Sometimes that question drifts into my mind. Not because anything is wrong, but because loving someone so deeply makes you think about how precious every moment is," Chanel read.
"I know I’m still young but when I’m mad at my mom, I always think that some people in the world don’t even have a mom because they left for some odd reason," she continued. "And if something happens, they’re going to be there with me. She is going to be there. She carried me and birthed me. She stops everything to be with me."
She went on to say, "When I look at my mom, I don’t just see a parent, I see the person who has shaped my whole world. Someone who fills my life with comfort, laughter and love. That feels bigger than anything else."
As the essay continued, Chanel thanked her mom for being there for her and helping her with her schoolwork. She said she sometimes thinks about how her mom might not be around forever and that makes her sad.
"A message to my glorious precious amazing mother! ♥️😽," Chanel wrote in her caption. In her comments, Austin wrote back an adorable message to her daughter.
"Baby, this is sooooo special to me! Your words are beautiful! I know exactly what you mean . Will be together not in this life but for the next and eternity ✨️ I love you sweetheart," Austin wrote. "Also im a very lucky girl that you picked me to be your mom 💖."
