The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
family.
Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

[@NBassREALTOR]

AGREE🎉🎉🎉

[@a.life.reimagined]

Way to go Ellis, these kids are amazing and I’m sure mommy was there.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Rachel_Ryder]

You’re a great father not only because you take care of the kids’ every need, but mostly because ON TOP of that, you continue to provide a loving, safe environment that consistently honors their mom & keeps her memory alive. I know what that takes, especially when you’re grieving, yourself. On behalf of your kids, thank you for being a true hero Kyle. I hope you know you’re doing the MOST!

[@NBassREALTOR]

Well said!! ❤

[@wendyrumbel4354]

Ellis did great. Love seeing the fur babies having a fun time with family. God Bless your beautiful family.

[@makesmewonder6497]

I still hear the trains sound their horns during the night & find it comforting...same sounds of my childhood.

[@JCEverett77]

Good Job Playing the Piano, I started to play when I was seven years old. Had to play at church also. Love the Kids so cute

[@hayleyvigar6970]

Hi Kyle, Ellis & Winnie. What a lovely time, if a bit chilly, your camping trip looked. Just to get away from the hustle & bustle for a few days is great & getting fresh air. Ellis you did amazing. You are doing your Mum & Dad proud, I’m sure Jenny was wrapping her arms around him when he was doing “You’ve got a friend in me.” I expect over the next couple of weeks you will be getting ready for Christmas, where has the time gone? Take care & stay safe. 💙🩵🩷

[@cammiebrecht6028]

A shooting star, Jenny is with you!!!! Creating amazing memories and living your best life!! Blessings and enjoy!!!

[@jsmm2908]

For some reason this video made me emotional, I could feel your pain but also your strength. I know you always say you were lucky to have her but she was also so lucky to have you. So glad you are able to share such a special place for you with all of us.

[@NBassREALTOR]

Amen!!

[@chrisdubois8980]

When I went camping years ago I slept very hard I thought it was because the fresh air. When we first went camping my hubby had a comment. Why do you enjoy camping it is so much work? His family always went to a cabin. He gave my way willing because he loved me...I am 71 we celebrated our 50th anniversary then he passed. I was happy for him he was unhappy and sick..I ask God to take him soon better for him and us. So happy he is in pain now and I am anxious to see him one of these days in Heaven. God Bless one and all..Love Chris

[@MatthewGodwin-iz8hg]

Kyle Winnie and Ellis and the whole family. Was thinking about you all on 5th November 2024. I have this date on my Google calendar, so I will never forget Jennifer's passing. Sending you all much love hugs compassion and respect as you continue to share your life and precious memories of your recent family holidays to Hawaii and camping trips away as in this latest vlog. Thank you for sharing and know that you're so very much appreciated and loved by Jennifer even though you can't see her she is very much there with you and is always making her presence felt by the signs that she leaves for you to recognize and know that she's with you each and every single day and night. At every Christmas, birthday, Valentine's Day , Easter and relationship anniversaries annually. She is there for you in a crisis just as she was when she was alive on the earthly plain. Take care Matthew from Middleton Manchester UK

[@Sheila612Miller]

That was very nice and well said. Have good day. Love from Minneapolis, Minnesota

Aww watching Ellis play the piano made me smile so big! I'm so proud of you Ellis!!! 😀

[@jazstackhouse985]

Great job Ellis!!!!! 🎉

[@jennyapple4704]

Thank you so much!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Watching Ellis do his piano performance gave me ptsd about my old music test. The examiner came in wearing a cloak and was very strict and serious and to a young child I thought he must be a wizard or something.Anyway I had to play him a tune on the organ and ttly freaked out and ended up getting a low mark with the comment, “Odd error. Forgot to play the left hand and pedals!” I’d just played with my right hand and was so nervous I hadn’t even noticed! Ellis did way better! 😂

[@jazstackhouse985]

it brought me back to my first recital as well! I started playing piano around age 6 and I was SO nervous to play. Ellis was definitely braver than me!

[@lorifowler4043]

Great job, Ellis!

Blessings & love to you & your family. 💙🩵🩷

[@lisaduncan3772]

Your kiddo’s are adorable! I know Jenny is proud of how you are making sure their life is happy and full. Ellis did a great job at his recital. Thank you for videoing little snippets of your life. I know how grief takes a piece of your heart that never feels quite full again. I started watching Jenny as she went through her cancer treatments. I miss her and know how hard she fought to live. Much love from Montana! 😊

[@silvialogan9226]

Going camping was an excellent way to spend the weekend and remember beautiful Jenny going with you and enjoying the trip and even holding her two lovely kids. It is so sad because cancer sucks because it destroys a person. That awful disease would be wiped out of Planet Earth forever.

[@robindegraffenreid9056]

Ellis, You did great at your piano recital. Good job☝️

[@nataliebrooks6822]

Fabulous! You're becoming a PRO at this, Kyle. So thankful I get to see how you 3 are doing due to Jenny having you document your grief journey. Much love to you and your sweet kiddos/dogs ❤
