The PICTURESQUE AREA IN GERMANY WHERE MY MOM GREW UP (we never shared this!)

It is a beautiful place and the memories that you have with your mom. You'll never forget she's watching over you. And smiling for what a beautiful daughter she raised.😊

This video made me very emotional. I'm German but living abroad since nearly two years. I'm from nothern Germany and seeing your beatiful video got me a bit closer back home. To be honest I had to cry a little while watching because currently I started to sruggle with homesickness. I always love watching your channel because you are so nice people and this video really means a lot to me! Thank you so much, Danke! Und es ist wirklich schön zu sehen, dass ihr Zeit mit der Familie verbringen konntet und eine so tolle Zeit hattet. :)

[@kaykrause4469]

Kirsten, this was a beautiful way to honor your mom. When you said you could feel her presence, just know, she was indeed walking with you. My mom has been gone for six years, and I still miss her terribly. Sometimes she comes to visit me, but I never ask, that would be wrong and could invite others you don’t want. This was a beautiful place and reminded me of some of U.K villages. Very peaceful and calm. Thanks for taking us along and thanks for showing us your moms picture. She’s a very pretty lady.

@@KirstenJoerg I totally understand... I get an adrenaline rush when I turn the camera on me, so I'm able to be upbeat and energetic... but then when filming is over I breathe a sigh of relief and then have all the other feelings of the day ;-) I just got back from a quick overnight road trip yesterday with a girlfriend from Wales. This is my one week of "break" from all our American visitors all summer. Next Monday my best friend and her hubby arrive... her first time in the UK!

While watching this beautiful video I could feel the presence of my own mother. I could sense her softness and smell. She is 99, and she and dad moved to assisted living last December. My heart aches that we live 800 miles away, but I’m glad that she still remembers me. Last month when I was able to visit her face got so bright when I popped in. I bet you had a bit of a grieving heart as you toured your mother’s town. It’s a great thing to be loved so much by our mothers. What a gift from God they are. Sorry, I have to go and wipe away some tears. Thank you!

Liebe Kirsten, lieber Jörg, jetzt muss ich einfach schreiben! Auch ich bin in Kiel aufgewachsen und Mönkeberg, Laboe, Heikendorf, Heidkate, Schönberger Strand / Brasilien und Kalifornien waren gern besuchte Strände! Seit mehr als 20 Jahren wohne ich mit meiner Familie im Kreis Rendsburg-Eckernförde, knapp südlich von Kiel. Auch wir haben eine Verbindung nach Südengland, da unser Sohn 2019 zum Studieren nach Bournemouth gegangen ist und nun in Dorset bleiben wird. Wir haben dadurch glücklicher Weise des öfteren die Möglichkeit ins schöne Südengland zu reisen! Wie schön, dass es Euch in der alten Heimat Schleswig-Holstein so gut gefallen hat! Ganz herzliche Grüße!!

Oh wir freuen uns sehr über den Kommentar! Ja, wie im Video gezeigt lebte meine Mutter ja im Rendsburg-Eckernfoerde Kreis, dort haben wir auch nach wir vor Familie ebenso in Mönkeberg, Schoenkirchen und auch Lübeck.

My dear Kirsten, your happiness shines through brightly. I have never seen you so happy. Of course you would be happy to be in the village where your mother grew up, but I can tell that the village is firmly in your heart. How nice that you could meet up with your sister and brother in law too. I know how you feel because my mother grew up in a small village in Holland and I have exactly the same feelings when I visit there. Although my mother's village is now a big seaside resort, I know what lies beneath because I have many photographs of Noordwijk back in the old days. It was once a fishing village. The food is similar, I think. Thank you for showing us your delightful place. I would love to visit it one day.
