Keeping Tradition Alive - Carving Pumpkins

[@tondah]

Winnie & Ellis just melt my heart. They are so stinking cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@c.l.a.m.9378]

My husband's first wife passed at 39 years old from brain cancer. The kids were 15 and 9. They have turned out to be wonderful adults now with children of their own. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. There are precious memories ahead for you all. Sending you all much love.

[@cazharris5581]

When I was a kid in the UK in the ‘70s, we didn’t have pumpkins. Our mums used to have to carve a scary face into a big turnip and they were rock hard…our poor mums arm muscles must have been so sore afterwards 😂

[@bellavita3097]

Kyle, I hope you see this message and please re-create it in your British voice. This is hilarious and made my entire night. Thank you sweet Brit. 🙌🏻 🇬🇧

[@maramirkin3325]

I’ve watched a few of your videos post Jenny’s passing. And just wanted to say as empty as you feel in her absence that you are doing a great job showing up for your kids, and handling the overwhelming grief. The holidays are particularly hard, as they meant so much to you as a family. You are all in my prayers. Wishing you strength, love, and needed support. God bless you all!

[@joannamarquis2705]

My beautiful husband passed October 31. I was his caregiver for a long time. Your grief journey over the past year somehow is helping me to cope. It's still so fresh. And I am numb. God Bless You for doing all you do. I know Jenny's anniversary of passing is only 1 day from now and I am praying for the peace and comfort that only comes from God❤

[@traciebryant162]

I'm so sorry you lost your husband. Thank you for caring for him. Sending you thoughts and prayers. ❤

[@wendyouellette]

I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹! Hopefully you’re with your grandchildren on Halloween they help ease the pain. God will help you through all the Holidays coming and each year will get a tiny bit better.🦋

Love those burning lights you have on the fence. Where did you get them, please?

[@cherylgillis4978]

Our pumpkin night consisted of carving pumpkins, having cider and donuts while watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I miss those days now that they are grown and gone 😔

[@lisawilkerson8085]

Enjoyed!! Happy Holloween!!

[@aggielee8369]

Good to see all of you. The front of the house looked great in its decorations

[@tinahauser8864]

[@karenkane3220]

[@traciebryant162]

I agree!

[@andreastowers5104]

You're such a fun dad!!!

[@silvialogan9226]

Kyle, your four pumpkins look so cute. You guys did an excellent job and your place looks beautiful with all those Halloween decorations. I just made a plain Jack O' Lantern because I am not very artistic and I am not very good at carving. I am eventually going to cut my pumpkin in pieces, roast it, puree it, and freeze so that I can use it to make desserts with it.

[@erical7051]

Great job! That looks soooooo good!

[@EleanorWeldon]

Hi Kyle, I find your pumpkins pretty incredible! I just realized I’ve gotten to the age of 65 without ever having had the opportunity to carve a pumpkin! No children, unfortunately. Used to own a cat, but had to give her up in order to live in this tiny retirement home. I’m so enjoying seeing your cat, how soft and shiny her hair is, her beautiful little face. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us. You have courage and your kindness shows in everything you do. I met Jenny via KZbin while she was being diagnosed with cancer. I felt such a bond with her because of the way she made eye contact and I felt her empathy and love. It was very mysterious and had a profound effect on me. I don’t know if I ever told her that, but I know she’s listening now. Thank you both for your love. Ellie, 🍁

[@judycowling14]

So enjoyed watching the tradition of the Apples family,cutting the pumpkins and all that is involved They looked amazing!! We don’t do a big thing in New Zealand for Halloween so really enjoyed this Video,thankyou Carl,great to watch and kids having so much fun with their pumpkins!!

[@dianehess5520]

Your cat is beautiful, first time I’ve seen it!

[@georginaallison9250]

Glad to see Michael, he lost his sister, he must see Jenny in Winnie, a full year, its like a boat, drifts, always away, grief, you have so much to live for, i knew Ellis was real smart, and has a beautiful heart like mum, i wish she was here, people are people world over,remembering a famous Scottish poet, from my homeland, Scotland, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Robert Burns who said “If we could see us as others see us”, how do we see Jenny, yous as a couple, parents, so beautiful, if we ever get a cure for cancer, may it be in memory of ones like Jenny Appleford, may her story be the lead in getting to find a cure, soon, love yous all, great family …

[@EleanorWeldon]

I love Scotland and your beautiful hearts too! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Someone once told me how strong I was during the first year of my grief. But, I didn’t have a choice. ( and I wouldn’t call it being “strong”)I have to give my kids a childhood. And part of that is still finding all of the JoY I can find still. Grasping for it! I love watching your bits of joy you share. Your pumpkins are very cute! And I bet Halloween was fun xo

[@celinescrappassion2184]

i saw this poem and i translated it to english for you... It reminded me of you and Jenny “Don’t stand there crying at my grave, I'm not there, I don't sleep there... I am the wind that blows through the trees I am the sparkle of the diamond on the snow I am the sunlight on the ripe grain I am the gentle autumn rain... When you wake up in the calm of the morning, I am the flight of these silent birds Which swirl in the sky... So don't stand there and lament at my grave I'm not there, I'm not dead! Why would I just be out of your life? Because I'm out of your sight? Death you know, it's nothing at all. I just went to the other side. I am me and you are you. Whatever we were to each other before, We will always remain so. To talk about me, use the first name With which you always called me. Just talk about me like you always did. Don't change your tone, don't look serious and sad. Laugh as before at the jokes that together we enjoy so much. Play, smile, think of me, live for me and with me. Let my name be the comforting song it always was. Pronounce it simply and naturally, Without any sign of regret. Life means everything it has ever meant. Everything is still the same, it continues, the thread is not broken. What is death if not a passage? Relativize and let all the aggressions of life flow, Always think and talk about me around you and you will see, Everything will be fine. You know, I hear you, I'm not far away, I'm here, just on the other side. »

[@AlexusGtv]

Beautiful poem!
