LOOKING BACK IS TOO HARD

IN THIS VIDEO:
THE WEEKS BEFORE DANIEL PASSED AWAY. LIFE WAS SO FULL OF JOY AND BLESSINGS. HARD TO BELIEVE HOW IT HAPPENED IN A FLASH.
I MISS HIM SO MUCH. GRIEF IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. LOSING A CHILD. ALL OF IT. MY WORLD IS STILL UPSIDE DOWN. ITS BEEN LIKE 3 MONTHS NOW. (TODAY IS APRIL 18, 2024)
SOMEHOW, IN THE DARKEST MOMENTS, I FEEL THE LIGHT AND LIFT OF DANIEL'S LOVE. AND MY LOVE. BUT GRIEF IS LIKE A SPIRAL, NOT A LINEAR THING. THEREFORE, IN THE BEGINNING, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE IN A WAR EMOTIONALLY.
I HAVE MUCH TO SHARE. I HAVE HOPE, AND A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. THIS, HOWEVER, HAS REALLY CHANGED ME IN SO MANY WAYS.
I WANT TO REMEMBER THE LOVELY SPIRIT THAT DANIEL HAD. HE WAS SIMPLY, PURELY, GOODNESS AND KINDNESS.
Welcome to my channel...
Adapting. Thriving. Changing. Growing. Facing the unknown every waking day. This is my story, and I hope that you find encouragement, community, friendship here. A journey of life with a child who was born with severe disabilities, and how we are making our way through the ups and downs.
Daniel was born with a rare condition called Polymicrogyria. It was caused by the virus, CMV (cytomegalovirus). Daniel has extensive medical problems and disabilities, but we have created a loving support structure for him, and the 5 of us, and our pets, find lots of joy and love. A very unique family dynamic for sure!

Hugs! Thank you for sharing Daniel and his story.

[@jhasselberger]

Your welcome. And thank you. I have had such incredible support. I am so grateful. I never thought his life would end so abruptly like this. It’s been rough. But somehow I feel drawn to share the grief too, hoping that maybe someone else is grieving and somehow we can help eachother. Even if it is just through a video. Sending hugs

[@danielleg-tube4561]

I still miss seeing Daniel in your videos 😢

[@LifewithSandy]

Such a beautiful memorial

[@tiarasarjeant5649]

I still miss seeing Daniel in your videos... His smiles made everyone's day. Crazy that my aunt (my father's sister) passed away from breast cancer on February 1st and it hit me hard. My family can't even imagine life without me since everyone loves me so much probably because I have something to do with my name witch I'm very grateful. I wish I can give you a big hug even though I only know you on KZbin. I know Daniel is watching over you right now.

Hi Julie I miss Daniel so much ❤❤❤

[@shawnafsworld7431]

Each Day was a Real Blessing With Daniel, Although we all Miss Him I Hope He Is Happy In Heaven he’s Now able to Talk , Walk. It’s hard I Knows he’s Watching over you all & Cheering you on. I’m Sure you will have dreams of him As he Makes sure you are doing Good. He Would Want you All To Take Good care of Yourselves too. Jon , Sarah , Thomas Julie , Henry and Holly , Daniel will always be with you all. I Hope Thomas Is Okay too and that Thomas Doesn’t Feel Guilty About Dans passing it wasn’t Anyone’s Fault, I’m sure it Was God Calling Daniel back home to Heaven to be with him. Bless you all during this difficult time in your lives. But most importantly Daniel Knows that You All Love him. ***** I wonder if You had Been their with him , Would He still have passed away from the illness ? ***** HE Looks Physically Tired in the Video, God bless You Daniel he Has Family in Heaven too now who are with him Surrounding Him With Love Not Every Family or Every Parents Are Able to do what you all Have done , Some People Aren’t as Lucky God Blessed you all With 26 Beautiful years with Daniel and your Beautiful Family, BUT he Looks at Peace With you. In these video shots Bless Your Family Julie it’s Very Difficult when you Loose a Loved one. I’ve lost so many people through out my 32 Years so far of living it Doesn’t get Any easier. My Sincere Condolences To You all During this Difficult Chapter through Your life. - All of The FIRST Holidays are Harder when you lose someone I lost my Dad in 2006 17 Year ago I Was barely 15 Years old then
