Lexxy and Parker look a lot a like. They both favor Joe. This video really touched my heart. It was great to see Lexxy and Mema.

[@janicebattle6456]

That was my first reaction when I saw the two together. They are definitely siblings. Hope your neck feels better soon. It is such a shame that it had to happen now. Blessings.

[@auroranight3779]

Us military families create our own "families" at every duty station, as we are all struggling with being away from our families, especially during stressful times and holidays. HUGS There is nothing comparable to a home cooked meal by Mom! (I am a little jealous, sadly; THANKFUL that when either my children come or I get to visit them that I am able to provide this for them. I no longer have my Mom with us) I ALWAYS get snotty nosed, Multnomah Falls eyes and don't want to let my babies go when I hug them and they must leave again! HUGS and understanding! They will ALWAYS be our babies and they are always welcomed back home and have a place under our rooves, even if it is a tent! May you have gentle seas for the ferry portion of the journey.

[@thegoodfight426]

Don't stress over the critics! I thought the cricket segment was hilarious! You lightened many people's day, I'm sure! I cried seeing you and your family together! I'm ready for Jesus to rule and reign so that people can have more than just a roof over their heads! I will be praying over your neck, so expect that pain to go! Love you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness, seeing little Parker crying over Lexi leaving broke my heart and made me cry. ❤ So glad you guys got to spend time with her. Praying for your neck to heal and for a safe journey the rest of the way. Thank You for sharing your journey

[@DreamingOfAlaska]

@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 why are you replying to me dummy, I'm just a viewer like you. I think you need some therapy because you seem really upset over someone else's life lol. I'll be praying for you to find inner peace from God because you definitely need it. I'm not sure why you think it's ok to just attack someone for no reason but misery loves company so maybe that's why you do it, you are miserable with your own life and are trying to make Tina miserable too. Luckily Tina is a smart Godly women and she will not let you affect her. Like my mom told me when I was little "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" so that's my advice to you. Also if you don't like Tina's channel why the heck are you still watching it and then taking time to comment lol 😂 , what a sad sad person you must be

I balled like a baby! He misses his sissy so much! Thx for watching!🤍

Thank you Tammy! 🤍🤍

[@nancylong886]

I hope and Pray you neck gets well. I know from experience how bad it can hurt. You have a Beautiful daughter and Mom. I'm so excited that you are almost to your new forever home in Alaska. Videos when you feel up to it. Stay safe. God Bless you all And you are NOT whining so don't pay attention to people that are negative. Can't imagine having a neck that is causing severe pain and having to sit in a truck all day driving across country.

[@brendasusanchristensen7058]

Ignore the haters! You are amazing! End of story! Your daughter is so pretty and seems so sweet! And your Mom is so precious!

[@dremaclover9775]

I laughed till I cried when you finally ate the cricket. I shared it with my family and friends. Even my husband got such a huge kick out watching your reaction. You are such a hoot. And so brave…!

[@hillarywattenbarger3203]

Girl! I was so proud of you eating the cricket!! 🤣🤣 I was over hear cheering you on!!

[@cham3784]

I often get a frozen neck and I can tell you it’s one of the worst pains ever. It’s debilitating as that’s all you can focus on. I really hope you can get it sorted and enjoy the rest of your trip pain free. Sending healing energy to you 💫🙏🏻

[@judyschepp8748]

I agree about the neck pain especially when riding in a vehicle on bumpy roads. Just makes travel miserable. And I don't understand the lack of empathy for Tina. Negative Nelly's are everywhere😔😒🤔

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

Aw, I know exactly how you all felt saying goodbye to Lexi. We are in the UK & our son lives in Vienna. Sometimes it's a long time between visits. You all have your Mama's cheekbones.😃 What a lot of money though you had to pay at the vets. Our dog just had a 2 night stay ,3 days over a weekend. She had antibiotics, X ray, iv, fluids & food & that was £380. I nearly fell off the sofa when you said how much Bradley's treatment was. They are so worth it though. I'm new to your channel & enjoying watching your journey to start your new homestead. Safe travels.x

[@yvettemiller2155]

Tina , I’m so glad your mother is still alive, was able to celebrate Thanksgiving Dinner with your family.

[@reginagoodson8268]

So much to love about this video!!! Beautiful Lexxy, fabulous Memaw, emotional Parker, camera shy Joe (and James) stoned…errr…sedated Bradley, protector Gunner and so much love! I hypothesize that once you guys get settled into the cabin your neck will be much better - even exciting and wonderful life changes can be stressful. I hope the ferry ride is better than you could imagine and look forward to catching up when the next video posts.

[@ScreechingWife]

Oh darlin’ you are so on spot about the world today. I am with you and your distrust in people. It’s so sad that we must be on total guard all around us. Praise our Heavenly Father for the blood of Jesus that kept your family safe during this very long road trip. I’m so excited for y’all and your future life in Alaska. Will be following along for the trip!! ❤

[@monicasonger3120]

Oh my goodness....that's where my daughter was born too! 38 years ago. It was crazy back then! They told me I had to leave her in the hallway in her bassinet while I went to a "class." Crazy!! Needless to say....I did not!

[@sidneywaddell7765]

Happy you got your internet! I cried my eyes out with you Lexie and Parker. Happy you kept your good bye with your sweet momma for just you. Safe travels ❤️

(based off the disclaimer you gave beforehand, I knew I was gonna love her.)😄Thanks so much for sharing that with us. Prayers for you and your neck, Tina. That certainly is hard when physical ailments keep us down for a time, and especially for you while you're traveling. Bradley looked so cute after his vet visit. 😆 Hope you're all well!

Loved your video! Your daughter is a beautiful young lady with a wonderful personality. ❤ That's really nice of you to share your family time together. Your mom is an amazing, talented and hard working lady. I can see that you have inherited her strong will and determination to survive and be successful. She's a sweet, down to earth lady and reminds me of my mom. Haha I could almost smell and taste your meal and I think I'm going to the store tomorrow to get some goodies for an early Thanksgiving meal. 😅😉Sorry to hear about the neck and the pain. I've been in 3 different accidents and since 1997 and I have nerve damage in my neck. I've been seen by chiropractors and an Osteopathic doctor for year's. You've been doing a lot lifting and moving heavy objects and it's possible that you could have strained or pulled a muscle and a muscle relaxant and Ibuprofen might help. It's not fun to be in pain so I hope and pray that you get relief soon 🙏 Thanks again for a great video! I'm looking forward to the next one. Oh yeah, I go to KZbin for Physical therapy exercises and that might be something that would be of help to you out. Good luck 🙏💖

[@renamaemcdonald2075]

Departures from loved ones is so tough!😭 I don't know if you have looked into satellite internet. Some remote communities use it but not sure how expensive it would be for the service you will need. Also it's good to know that wounds have been treated with plain white sugar. We had our dog's stitches on her back legs pull apart. We cose not to get them stitched up again because there was no guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. The vet told us to clean them 2x a day & sprinkle with a good amount of white sugar, then wrap it up again. It was winter so we had to make sure the wounds were wrapped up in water resistant material. Each day we could see a big difference in the wounds healing up!
