This was beautifully put together Tom. The flashbacks combined with the present were perfect, and showed just how much time has passed. Thank you for sharing this tradition with us. Traditions truly help relive memories.

[@area___]

those throwback clips bring tears to my eyes.

[@stroudsburg3]

Hello Mills family my mother died 40 plus years ago at age 49. We were a family of 6 kids. We still miss her so . Like you are Tom we had a good loving father that kept us close as a family. My husband and I have been married for 36 years and although my 3 kids never knew my mom they know all about her from the stories I share and her recipes I pass on to them. You children are who they are because of you and Andrea. Thank you for sharing this special day .

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

Little did Andrea know what a great gift her KZbin hobby would be for her family and viewers. You did an amazing job mixing the old memories with the new ones.

[@wends2110]

I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while and to be honest I can’t believe it’s been four years that Andrea has been gone. My heart still breaks for your great loss and I think this is the most beautiful way to keep her memory alive for her sweet little ones.

[@josi7690]

I can't believe it's been four years as well. I discovered the channel toward the end of Andrea's life. I'm still catching up on old videos. She was a beautiful, kind, gentle mom to those beautiful children.

[@saraatintochristlikeness9098]

Wow... thank you for compiling this Memior for Andrea. You have blessed your children so much by keeping this tradition alive. You are doing a great job!

[@HEFALF]

Happy Birthday Andrea. Still watch old videos. The kids are growing up on ya Tom!

[@annamaria8755]

A magical place Tom and family. I know Andrea is looking over you and is so proud of each and every one of you.

[@hildabailey2670]

Happy Birthday in heaven 🥳

[@janejones1797]

This was a very special video, especially for those of us who were around when Andrea was alive. Thank you!

[@coppertone711]

A really great memory, thanks for the great video. The drive is beautiful.

[@staceynelson2357]

Thank you Tom for sharing the beautiful tribute to your sweet loving wife Andrea. Those clips you fit into the video of the past as compared to the trip now, were absolutely perfect. I always remember a video you made after she had passed, and at the bottom you put the words " I'll take good care of them, love Tommy". You have done that and then more. You're a wonderful loving Father.💖💙

[@dgomes8876]

Everything about this video is beautiful. Beautiful past & present memories. Stay encouraged. Jesus is your strength!!

[@suewalters9822]

Tom, you did an awesome job editing this. We loved seeing clips of Andrea and the love she had for her family. You should be proud of how the kids have progressed and the parenting you have done. Its been 4 years, time sure goes fast. Just a reminder to cherish everyday with the kids ones you love. So sorry Thomas wasn't there. Take care and have a great Sunday.

[@girlnextdoor0703]

[@loridreisbach554]

Happy Birthday Andrea. You will never be forgotten. Andrea would be so proud of you Tom.vyour a wonderful dad

[@justelleslife507]

Hi beautiful Eden, I hope you read this message because it's for you, you being the oldest daughter knowing your mom the longest, kudos to you for stepping up to the plate, taking on more responsibilities while your heart misses your mom, wish it never happened, I loved your mom too, the best way to honor her is to take the best parts of her, integrate them into you she was very wise, my dad died when I was around your age over 50 years ago, so I know how hard it is to lose a parent when you're young, be kind to yourself, be patient with yourself and say out loud the best parts of being you, dads need hugs too, every once in awhile go and give your dad the biggest bear hug, he will love it! I cannot wait to see how much you will grow into the beautiful person, inside and out, God wants you to be, with all my love ~ EB

[@scrimdaddy]

Such a good dad haven’t watched you videos for a while but teared up watching her again . She would be so proud of you all

[@dawnpayne4227]

Keep those memories alive that's all they have left. Someday you can take your new wife and take this same journey together with the kids and keep the old and new together as life. You did a great job with this .enjoyed it alot. Happy birthday Andrea

[@lindabehrens6813]

[@pattiwilson3916]

I so enjoyed this Tom, thank you!

[@MissBurr1]

I love this family, best dad ever, thanks for taking us with you on this beautiful trip.

[@jmestyles1436]

Loved the video & blew my chewing gum bubbles while watching 🤗 I had only found your channel right at Hannah’s birth & was so saddened not long after with Andrea’s passing. Never having children I’ve loved watching your family & loved how Andrea ran it all with such pride. I believe Andrea was a diamond in this rough world we live in & now a angel to watch over your precious family. Thanks for the video & sharing the memories……💐 Happy Heavenly Birthday Andrea 💐

[@josi7690]

I love your comment about Andrea being a diamond in this rough world we live..... so true.

[@livmcguirk663]

Such beautiful memories, and such a beautiful family ❤️ God bless you guys

[@kezza138]

Gosh this was good. I could see the kids thinking about their Mum occassionly, what a beautiful place to remember her. The flashbacks were so good. Very clever and most enjoyable. Happy Birthday Andrea x

[@Wendy-yg8yu]

They were all so young. All of them have beautiful memories of Andrea’s birthday and how special a day it was. I’m sure they make sure Hannah also knows. The scenery looks like Central Ontario Canada.

[@mommabear8673]

Tom you are such a great dad keeping Andreas memories alive.. She was such a beautiful soul and her kids are her living legacy. You're doing a great job dad..

[@Mrsmadison45]

Looks so beautiful ❤ definitely celebrating 🎉 great memories for your Wife's Birthday ❤

[@karbear26]

I love that you still celebrate Andrea’s birthday! Isn’t it her 45th birthday? I remember watching those original videos! I’ve been around for a long time! Too bad the gas station you used to go too isn’t good anymore! I used to love banana hula bubba when I was little! Fun to see how big the kids have gotten! Wow 4 years since she passed I remember when it happened so sad! I love how you keep her alive in your hearts by doing these traditions!

[@jenniferknight2788]

Andrea loves this garunteed!!

[@kellycrooks4061]

Beautiful video! The editing was very well done. ❤

[@growingfromhome.]

This is both beautiful and heart wrenching and hopeful. To be remembered as she is- a wonderful thing. I love that y’all have memories and traditions and also aren’t afraid to change things or start new things. This was lovely to watch and only cried… many times. 🥹

[@colaw77]

Loved this…the old memories perfectly intertwined with new ones. Such a beautiful place!

[@liddlekiddle1962]
