You put out such powerful videos that I know many of us shed tears over. And I'm sure you probably shed a lot of tears too. You just made sure we didn't see them. But we know you too well Lester.

[@E.o.t.4637]

If you didn't get emotional at some point I would have been worried Lester. In the beginning of the clean up you were being lighthearted, trying to make a laugh. Everyone there had that kind of attitude towards what happened. A lot of people noticed and pointed out the positivity. Everyone was go go go. Now that everyone has a jump on the clean up reality is setting in. Everyone has to return to work and still try to get things done. Sometimes the hardest thing we have to do is set things free. This IS that time for you. That place you built into a neat home (your words) isn't the same. Can you restore it? Yes. Do you want to? That's the hard question, or do you "set it free" for LE to decide. Instead of "let it be" Set it free, set it freeeee, set it free yea set it free. speak from words of wisdom, Lester, set it free. Remember we get wisdom from our experiences/mistakes. Build a small fire and cleanse the land.💟

[@rejeanaroland8334]

That whole fiasco with the cows, Stephanie & the bees was hilarious. OMG I laughed so hard. Good thing I was in the house alone, my hubby would have thought I lost my mind. Lester, you should never feel bad about getting emotional about losing your home. My God, anyone would. I’d be a total mess it if we’re me. You already lost one home and tons of personal belongings. The thing, to me anyway, that is the hardest to lose are pictures. They are reminders of the past, the kids growing up, people that you love who are no longer here with you, all your animals & pets, fun times spent together, etc. It is devastating to lose those things. So losing the barndominium is like losing a part of yourself, so cry if you feel overwhelmed by it all, there’s no shame in that. All of us, (your social media friends/family), will surely understand. I know it takes a very long time to recover from a disaster. So much cleanup, repair & replace has to be done. And I am truly amazed at how much the whole Morrow family has gotten done already. What an awesome family y’all are. Everyone is pitching in to help one another and through it all y’all are keeping a positive outlook and counting your blessings. It is so inspiring to watch it all take place. This, this is why I love the Morrow family and this is why you’re always in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

And yes, just like others need help, they will absolutely need your help with not only establishing priorities but in the actual doing. I am so sorry you lost the barndominium. If you ever feel ready it would be really interesting to hear you tell the stories of some of the items from that space. It seems to hold more memories than any other space. Maybe some of those paintings etc can make their way to your big space attached to your apartment? To create a “survivor cave” apace in there would be super cool?

[@purepoison618]

Hi Lester - I believe you found wonderful words. Words that I was so intent on listening to, I didn’t notice the wind, until you said, “Sorry, for the wind” I didn’t hear the rooster crowing nor Uncle Dan mowing, until your words brought them to my attention. I think I blocked out all, but you and your words. No doubt that you are exhausted Lester, physically, mentally and emotionally. This has been so much to take on! There comes a day, and we all face those days, when even without our knowledge, we’ve hit that wall, our limit can hold no more and our body needs release. It’s simply our way to continue on coping. This indeed will be a lengthy process, that is going to require a lot of work and consume many long hours. I think most looking at what is ahead there around ISS, realize that and those who don’t, aren’t worth the extra time or effort that you don’t have available to worry about. I will be sad to see the Barnduminium go, but I completely understand your thoughts on that. Isn’t it ironic, that the very thing, that has caused this disaster and the enormous disaster of Harvey - In fact, almost taking Ima, the eventual namesake that started this all, is also the exact thing that saved Ima’s life and allowed her bruised and beaten body, during those first initial days, to gain the strength to stand up and start her physical journey to healing - *water* Know you are in our hearts and our prayers Lester.

[@phyllislowry6265]

OMG! I heard Jami talking about this & it is hilarious!!! I needed this laugh today & so did you! The Sanctuary looks really good for just being flooded & you all have worked hard to clean it up. You are probably so emotional because you've reached a point where you have taken care of things that really needed to be done immediately & it's time for your mind to relieve the pressure....It's like when you hold your breath, & finally let it out. Plus, the barndominium has so many memories & was your home & it's difficult to say goodbye. Take the time to let it all out, cry, or whatever ...then your mind can start all over again. Don't be embarrassed at being emotional, it's part of what makes you so endearing, Lester. Badass one minute & a sort of crying sweetheart the next! If you all haven't found any snakes, you are so fortunate!

[@NancyBagnall]

The well house is a miracle, thank you Lord. Lester be patient with yourself as you see things gone, and destroyed. Just deal with the have too things, that’s enough. Save some of the decisions until latter. You and Jamie give each other lots of hugs. And hug LE a lot. I’m praying God will show you His Will for you in all that you do.

Dan's grass looks really good! It may seem funny after just being flooded, but having neat looking property probably helps alleviate some of the stress from the distructive flooding. Folks have been holding it together mostly, during the cleanup and it is only normal for a bit of emotion. Of course it. Is going to take awhile to do all that work. All of us who have been around farms or been through mother natures fits, know it will take time. A turtle trap should be put on the pond so the baby ducks stay safe.

Lester! You did great. It's a lot to take on all at once. It's your home and it always will be. The memories you have there are great ones. It will be back together like it once was. Time is what it's all about. I love watching all your videos. You are a true leader. ❤❤❤

Lester...you have been through such a horrible pain, physically & mentally....and one thing I have noticed...all you Morrows...are definitely Warriors....and I know Jesus loves y'all...He is & has been keeping you ALL!!It breaks my heart to see what all you have had to go through.😢

Look Lester as someone who also lost her wonderful home I was mortified and to this day I have never really got over it, BUT my beautiful Furbabies survived and e have to move on. ❤ Lester when I saw the beginning I laughed so much and thought, yep that's The Morrows 😂❤ Oh my giddy aunt you scared me with the little piggie 😮😂 I saw Jamie's video and was so upset for poor Corny, keep watching Lester, all the animals are stressed too ☺️😉 Love you ❤❤

Good to process emotions and your timing is how it needs to be. The barndominium represents to me not only the significant losses you experienced and also the beginning of overcoming the strategies of Harvey. Building a temp home, helping the surviving animals. You have come a long way and glad to see you are continuing to heal. Phew, plastic piggy, scarred me too.

[@sittathecat]

Yes, baby steps! Break it down. Step by step it gets done. Maybe for LE and Megan rebuilding will further make it their own, maybe? Good will come of this for the Sanctuary.

Part of me wants you to repair the barndinium but I'm just being sentimental

I’m so proud of whole Morrow clan. You guys know how to work and work hard. Your parents seem so happy to be in their home. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery on the rest of the clean up. I’m sure your heart breaks to see the barndemidium destroyed after putting your heart and soul into it. 💔

Not an ending but a new beginning to a new journey!!!! Love you & Jami and know you are not alone in this emotional time!!!❤❤❤😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am so glad that you all have each other to hold each other up. I have cried, and laughed, and mourned, and giggled with the Morrow family for years, and normally I don't comment on videos, but this has been a blessing to watch, but heartbreaking to see happen to you all over again. I don't have friends or family to share my life with, but I am so thankful to have you all to share your lives with us. We love you, and we are all so proud of you. Edit: After reading a lot of the comments, I am so proud of your little community on the youtubes. But I am absolutely disgusted by how many hateful and negative comments that obviously miserable and self loathing human dumpsters that there are in this world. Is there not enough hate in the world? Is there not enough people tearing other people apart when they need uplifted? It is sickening. Hold your heads up, Morrow family. You've got this.

Lester, your emotions show me that you are human. God bless you and keep you safe.

[@karenglenn463]

Lester..my heart goes out to you..and Jami, I know this is hard for you..there's alot of memories there...I know you both will make the best decision ❤

[@jennawatkins1021]

Scuba Steve and her spacesuit 😂 she's awesome! I then turned so emotional over the barn dominium. So very sorry. Prayers continued for you and the family
