Salomon hugging his Dad during the opening of the presents was absolutely precious.

[@michellemurphy9071]

Solomon has such a tender heart. It looks like Justus was having a hard time throughout the present opening as well. You are an amazing father.

[@presleylives3320]

Michelle Murphy yes I saw that too😢such a brave boy but with a broken heart 💔 bless you Justus sweetheart and all your siblings and daddy🙏🏼💖

[@tinat702]

There are going to be lots of "firsts" without Andrea that will be hard to get through. The grieving process has NO time frame. This was the perfect video. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@caroldeaton619]

I forgot to comment. Just breaks your heart to see him grieve. My husband died June 20th my birthday was one month after July 20th I did not even celebrate. Of course I do not have so many loved ones as Tom does.

[@lmkays]

Solomon really feels your pain. What a compassionate little boy

[@annfogarty7345]

Beautiful Solomon........he knew just when you needed a hug 🤗🤗

[@stephaniejane306]

Oh Tom, the firsts are always hard when you loose someone you loved so dearly. Hang in there, you have such so much support around you. Its okay to cry and grieve. The kids seem to be coping and doing well. Asher seems to have really stepped up with little Hannah. Remember, its okay to change and adapt. You dont have to do things the way Andrea did them if its not working anymore. We are all here for you and the kids! Love from Australia!

[@ChihuahuaMama54]

Solomon😭♥️ is so sweet hugging his Dad trying to comfort him. Lord please watch over all of them🙏🏻♥️

[@millerjoan]

How sweet was it when Solomon gave his dad a hug. Happy birthday, Tom. May God bless the Mills family. 💖

[@deniselancaster6888]

Such a lovely video from beginning to end. Your children, "the best Dad in the whole world", other family, friends so thoughtful of you on your birthday. Your son "why are you crying....because you're happy" and later when you open pictures of you and Andrea, he gives you hugs. Beautiful boy, so caring. Lovely outing and gathering for your birthday meal, everyone supporting you. The cake looked yummy!

[@AnnHope53]

1st of everything (birthdays, anniversaries etc) after a loss is always hard. Be kind to yourself. May Christ be your peace and comfort.

[@melanies8473]

Thank you for sharing these moments with us. I absolutely love your family. I loved seeing the teenagers fight the wind and seeing Solomon give you a hug as you were trying to get through opening your presents. Hannah like the other kids is so sweet...I loved how she stood up a second time in response to all the cheers she got for standing up the first time. Loved seeing Claudia proud of the artwork she created for your birthday. Your children are such a blessing and so are you. Not just for eachother but for the rest of us too. I am sure that I am not the only one who finds healing in your videos, having grown up in a family that was the opposite of yours in every way possible. So thank you. You are a blessing to the world and I am thankful that we get to "follow" your family and be blessed in this way.

[@lauracondo8151]

I love this family. GOD has something special for you all.

[@hollyleming7598]

I for sure ugly cried while you opened the gifts. I wish I could give all the kids a big hug. I lost my dad in 2018 and my heart hurts everyday. You Tom are doing an amazing job as a father.

[@jamierossi2573]

I adore the boys fighting to keep the tarp. I was giggling. I was also tearing up with you Tom. Happy 43rd Birthday my friend. To see Sully hugging on you opening just makes my heart swell.

[@casstomkinson5748]

My tears started when he opened those photo's of Andrea & Tom.

[@amyeli33]

I could feel his sadness too.

[@sarahhorton631]

The way the little girls get so excited to see the pictures of Andrea absolutely breaks my heart. 😭😭💔 So precious.

[@SRFMLY1975]

Solomon you should be so proud of yourself. A very strong young man. Asher you too, your amazing with Hannah xxx

[@eileenkillen1481]

Tom your grief and pain is being shared with you here in Ireland. Thank you so much for sharing your precious family time with us. Happy belated birthday. Xxx

[@dee398]

The way sully hugged you, was so heart-warming, giving you comfort❤️❤️❤️

[@roinidaho]

Happy birthday Tom! Good girl Eden. She realized that the last gift in Rachel's box was a Christmas ornament with Andrea's picture on it. They really need that sweet sensitive influence in the line-up after all the boys! God bless your whole family.

[@rachelday9585]

Yep, she was exactly right in what it was.

[@lynnsshabbylicious6135]

One day at a time Tom that’s all you can do much love from the UK 💕

[@teresah4972]

Sweet video! All the “firsts” are the hardest. When Solomon came and hugged you, that was precious! You have a wonderful family, Tom! Many people are lifting you all up in prayer.

[@smary80]

May that fortune come true & bring you much deserved joy. You’re a wonderful man Tom, with beautiful children. 🙏🏼❤️😊

[@tania52644]

This video was an emotional roller coaster. I was laughing when Judah was zooming in on people. Cried when I saw knuckles. Cried when Tom started crying because it's his first Birthday without Andrea. Cried when I saw pictures of Andrea. Laughed about Rachel doing the multiple layers of wrapping paper like Tom used to do to Andrea. Happy Belated Birthday Tom ! 🎂

[@rachelday9585]

Everyone was asking if he was going to do it so I did a simpler version for him.

[@Simone-rx4ri]

Oh I felt your pain that day. Sometimes pictures are even just too hard to look at. The firsts of everything is the worst! Birthdays, holidays ect. I hope you manage to get through one day at a time. Bless you Tom. I just want to grab you and give you a big hug for the longest time. You are doing it, you coping, no matter what form that takes. Be proud of the father you are and how you are managing. you are in my prayers.

[@francesgrech8930]

I can never be bored watching your videos! You Tom and Andrea raised your kids so well that one can only learn from you. Each and everyone of your kids have that special something. God bless you 💕

[@FindingMyLight]

I was doing really well then Solomon hugged you and I lost it.. I was once told the way you know you loved someone and they left a permanent mark on your heart is how much you miss them.. I always always loved Andrea and your family, I never knew just how much of an impact she had on me until she sadly passed away. Not everyone gets to say they left a positive footprint on this earth. Andrea sure did and that is something that I hope that brings you and your children pride. She touched many lives and it may seem odd since many of us never met her but I truly grieve and miss her and know she is proud of how your family pulled together and is keeping her memory alive. Happy belated Birthday and I am so happy that your children have such a great role model to continue to look up to

[@marycaldiran5659]

Happy birthday Tom, I know you are missing Andrea so much today, she will always be with you and the kids. .

[@kristinaclark8307]

Thanks for sharing....God bless you all...one day at a time for sure. Loss is really hard...you get a new normal. The kids are so precious! Love the taco night snoozer at the end!

[@tesal112]

Tom ♥️ God is good He certainly is at work in your life and the lives of your children ♥️

[@susanrogers2682]

Tom Thanks for sharing your special day video and all the other days included. The kids look great you are doing a great job with them Judah is getting very good with his videos too. Sending hugs to all the kids.

[@eh5357]

The way Solomon says popcorn! 😍😍 “popcone” So adorable. 🍿

[@SuperBamamama]

That's one FIRST you don't have to go through again, it's done. This video was so awesome but I'll confess I cried when you signed TM to the school work. And that Rachel Day what a friend! Happy Birthday

[@rachelday9585]

Thanks

[@kathymckelvey1693]

Happy birthday Tom. I loved how the light was shining on you . God is good. Another day of life filled with love.

[@jenniferdowns8991]

[@HunnyBunnyHoney]

[@sandramullen7804]

[@akwardmom111]

"A refreshing change is in your future"- Absolutely yes! Tom, you are doing amazing through all this. There are times where I am watching these recent videos and I think about Andreas laugh behind the camera. Thank you for continually sharing with us!

[@carolemclemore6140]

[@debbiea6782]

Glad this was uploaded, I have insomnia, so happy to have something good to watch. Happy belated Birthday Tom. Solomon with his comfort hugs made me cry. Rachel’s extreme wrapping 🙌🏻 😁

[@rachelday9585]

It wasn't even really extreme and I knew he wouldn't really be into it but everyone keeps asking if he's going to do it so I did a toned down version.

[@wadadarnell1409]

Rachel you surly are a blessing to this family, may God bless you

[@tracigresham7164]

I have insomnia here too. I feel ya'!

[@dervlajones1024]

Rachel Day The extreme wrapping was a personal tradition between Andrea and Tom.

[@Alicia-kf9lq]

@@dervlajones1024 Indeed it was. Thank you, made me upset.

[@rebeccastacey6956]

[@dazzelingdirtyb]

Thank you for sharing Tom I know this must be so hard for you to share but thank you for being a fighter & showing us this side of the fight! I’m currently fighting with my own demons & watching you be this strong inspires me so much to keep fighting and keep going when I don’t have an ounce of hope left in me
