[@ohiowoodburner]

I am very grateful for you sharing this Kevin. It means a lot that you took the time to share this with us. Certainly your words are touching to me but...maybe you didn't notice this...but as your are talking in your car about your dad your child seat is behind you. It is almost symbolic in a way of the circle of life. While you are mourning the loss of your dad all you have to do is turn around and see the hope of a new generation that both you and your dad played a role. You are an important man Kev! i wish you and your family the best. Joe

[@SkidderKev]

Thank you so much Joe. You are exactly right about the seat. As I rewatched it before posting this I kept staring at the child seat in the back, I was listening to my pain of the old generation passing on and staring at the next generation. Thank you so much for helping me see that through the tears Joe.

[@davidhaley7053]

If you were trying to make me cry... it worked. I feel so bad for your family. Great advice too. I'm only a phone call away. Stay strong.

[@SkidderKev]

Thank you David it means alot, not the crying but being a friend and a phone call away. Thank you

I feel your pain. I lost my Dad April 2019. Prayers and well wishes to you and yours. Thank you for stating the facts about the wills. Get it done. Your kids are depending on it.

[@SkidderKev]

Sorry to hear the loss of your dad too. Wills are so important and can make a difficult time alittle easier

[@stevenclaeys6252]

@@SkidderKev 100% I can not stress enough to people that you have to make sure you have everything in place. It is not for you, it is for the family that is still here. If you have minor children and no will. The government decides who looks after your kids. I work in financial services and It is a nightmare when there is no will. Stay safe out there.

[@austindenotter19]

Tough days ahead. The pain never goes away. You just learn to deal with it. God bless you and your family.

Thank you Dennis. The love from everyone is so great during this time.

[@HeltonLogging]

I lost My grandma and then my mother 3 years ago months apart oh man , They say the pain goes away i say hog wash you learn to deal with the pain it never eases up or goes away. I hope your feelings learn fast buddy

[@SkidderKev]

That must have been very tough Thomas. The tough part is every reminds you of them I find. And you are right you just learn to deal with or even just control it as you go on

[@HeltonLogging]

Yes sir probably about the same as your feeling. I always liked to impress my mom when i`d make stuff so now i make stuff and we set back and say mom would have a fit over that, I guess what i`m getting at is your Dad much like my mom Is very proud of you So mourn as much as you need don`t dwell on stuff (the what if`s) And keep on making him Proud. I`m a believer so i feel they are up above and all around watching. Think happiness he would want you happy. Btw if you feel the need to talk to me you know how to get me. Take care of your awesome family buddy.

[@SkidderKev]

You are so right on that. Some tuff dad did drove me nuts and now I just do it like he did just cause he would have.

[@cookiesservices4552]

Well said Kevin I hope for you that the days to come will get much easier without pops. I lost my dad a little over two years ago and I can’t say that I am over it The loss of my best friend and indeed my Superman just crushed me but over time it gets easier and we just have to stay positive to live another day. As hard as is is just stay positive and the circumstances around you will get easier to handle. Much love brother and thank you for your heartfelt sharing 👍🏻

[@SkidderKev]

Thank you for this cookie service and sorry to hear about your dads passing and best friend. I know im not the only one going through this but sometimes I feel alone in it. All these great comments have helped me see past that.

Sorry for your loss Kevin, I know how hard it is to loose someone close to you. Chainsaws and logging were the best therapy I could have ever asked... keep you’re head up bud and always remember he will be watching over you and your family!

Thanks Jon. You are right, I cut Friday and it really did clear my mine.

Kev and Family - condolences from me to you, healing is to be able to talk about it and you were there for him when he needed you. Good advice to pass on. Cheers and stay safe. Pete

[@sawsurgeon]

Hey Kev, so sorry for your loss. I am glad you made this video. This is part of that grieving process that so many people try to avoid. However it’s what we so desperately need in these times. We go through life as though we think it’s not gonna happen to us. Your dad set such a great example by making sure things were organized and prepared and in turn you’re passing his wisdom on to all of us. Will you “Get Over This?” I sure hope not, we don’t do that. These Loved ones have etched a place on our very souls and through us they live on. Over time we will ponder less and less on their final days and more and more on all of those special times we shared together. Kevin, I pray for Peace beyond all understanding and for continued blessings, healing and favor on your entire family. In Jesus’ name. Tedd

[@jameswilson322]

Very well said

Thanks for sharing and take care, Kev...

Hi Kev I'm so sorry for your loss my friend!! I don't know what to say brother. I know you were very close to him. Only time will heal the pain. Like you said at least he isn't suffering.

[@jamessween]

I am so sorry to hear about your dad, my prayers go out to you. I know it had to be hard to make this video. I did one like this on my best friend who died 3 months before retired. I cried why doing that video. I worked with him everyday at work. And loosing a dad is even harder. I feel for you. I just started watching your videos yesterday and right away bad news. I just lost another great friend from our church who died from Covid in just 4 days of having it. Life is just to short. I'm 64 and trying to run from Covid. I know soon or later I will get it. Wisconsin is very bad. I'm locked up in my house, and when I shop for food, I feel like someone is holding a gun to my back. I hope things get better for you. May God be with you and your family. God bless my friend.⛪⛪💒💫

[@SkidderKev]

Thank you James. Its been a tough road so far. Sorry to hear about your best friend passing too. Condolences to you and his family. I saw that video when I went and checked out your channel, just could bring myself to watch it. I hope you can avoid c19 . Are you able to order groceries online where you are? Maybe that is a option for ya and save some stress and anxiety for you?

[@bradlloyd358]

Loosing a parent makes you reflect a lot - think a lot - you remember the good times - your emotions are right there just under the surface all the time - but life slowly returns to normal but you are changed forever - lost both my parents within 2 years of each other - i never noticed it but people around me said I was different - maybe that’s just me I don’t know - we all handle this stuff differently - you will carry memories of your dad with you all the time and little things will happen in your day and remind you of him and you will smile or maybe shed a tear but you will never forget - keep on keepin on Kev

[@SkidderKev]

thanks for this Brad, you are right, it seems to be the little things that always bring up that good memories. I always look at his picture everyday before i leave for work. every day is easier but it is tough talking about it still. Thank you again for this nice message means alot. Kev

[@mlhrepairsllc6942]

My heart goes out to you and your family. I understand what you are going through. I have been down that road with my mother in 2002. Hard times to deal with. My father told me at that time that a family is only as strong as the foundation. Sometimes there needs to be a rock in the foundation that must take the weight. Be strong, and best wishes for you and yours.

[@SkidderKev]

Thanks mlh. And you are right, someone needs to stay strong for the family. Sorry to hear about your mother.

Wow so sorry to hear this. Wish I could say it gets better but idk. Three years ago I watched the strongest man in my world get broken down to nothing. He is in a better place with no pain. Its very hard to deal with but try to remember him when he was happy not when he was hurting. So sorry brother you will be in my prayers.

Sorry for your loss Kev. Losing family and close friends is very hard to go through, especially close to the holidays when families are usually together. I lost my mom and one of my uncles in 2017, and lost one of my aunts a year later on Christmas. Getting back to work out in the woods or in a tractor cab definitely helps, and lets you think about all of the good memories from over the years. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers sir.

Tough times Kev. Nothing to say but I’m praying for yal and thinking about you. We all deal with things different. My pop died a couple,3 years ago. I’m the oldest, and glad to see you grieving now. I tried to be the strongest in the family, and it took me over a year before it really hit me that He was really gone. It rocked me hard Bros, but after a few years now I can give you some advice. Be the Man that You are, and do the best you can to live a life that You know that You respect. Then you will realize over some time that your Pop is proud that you are living a productive, respectful life. He surely wanted you to be happy. Give it some time Bros. It won’t happen over night. But as yal string some days, weeks , months together, you will realize, All is good. Life is good , specially when the Family is OK. Take care Man. AC
