Ruben 🤣🥰🤗❤❤❤❤

[@DanielleLong-qe3yv]

I love the giantic portrait of sweet and adorable Reuben .

[@nanap8473]

That’s pitiful. Bless Roo’s little heart. He’s going to miss his sister.

[@jamespaul6315]

Awww. Roo might be little but his heart is big 🥰

[@skc3753]

I feel so sad for Reuben, he really loves his sister. I’m sure she’ll be missing him too.

[@annm4833]

He looked so lost standing there in the garage, I wanted to give him a hug. 😢

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@erinsheline8398]

Sweet boy. Good luck Rachel.

[@SteveMikre44]

I never meet Rachel, but yet I'm kinda emotional to see her moving out on her own...

[@lunadog71]

Right? I feel like I'm part of this lovely family.

[@drienov]

I was sobbing myself, especially when the truck drove off!😭😭💔💔

[@dalehoward5416]

I know right. 😢 Enjoy college Rachel. Well miss you.

[@chuckh5031]

That last walk out of the garage is so overwhelming and a strong emotional tug at heartstrings. Wow.

[@ReubentheBulldog]

Really appreciate all the kind comments. Definitely projecting my parental emotions on this one. :) Also, I'll throw this out there since I was asked about his portrait, There are some Reuben photos on my old photography site so if you're interested in seeing some of my stuff (from a life, some work prior to Reuben) please take a peek at Melnotte.com Thanks everyone!

[@Lucy_Bayard_John]

Mike and Carole, you can be proud of raising a child that is now an independent person! She will carry all the love you gave her and it will be the foundation of her life forever! Good job!

[@Rob12408]

My goodness ! Your photos are BEAUTIFUL. Who knew you were such an artist ? LOL.

[@lindayoung58]

Wow! Only looked a bit right now and even upon first glance find your photos breathtaking. (Love your 'gallery' name too !) What a splendid gift you have and share- Much Gratitude! That 3/30/16 pic of Reuben as a toddler is precious- if he helped with the bandaging did he get treats??

[@mothercabbagepatch3344]

Mike you are so talented. Your photos are gorgeous.

[@kevinmcdermott8033]

Hang in their it will get easier. I know when my daughter moved out I was devastated. It is very hard setting your little girl free.

[@gb4290]

[@carolineasebrook6643]

Good luck Rachel!! We’ll miss you. Made me teary

[@token555]

Reuben is the constant when it comes to a happy distraction. My old four legged fur muffin is in the middle of another health scare, not quite used up all his 9 lives but getting close 😥 and between all the tears, two brown eyes on a wrinkly English bulldog momentarily lift my spirits. Love you to pieces sweet beautiful Roo boo 🥰😘❤🥰😘❤🥰😘

[@ReubentheBulldog]

All the best to you guys!

[@anderwmarcell9503]

All.the best Rachel

I needed that joke at the end. Why was I so emotional? Rachel is growing up too fast!!!!!

[@Justlookingfornow2023]

I feel that Rachel has grown up “before our eyes” through Reuben and his videos! I shed a tear or two watching this-congrats to both Rachel and her parents on a job well done all around! Oh, and of course Reuben was an integral part as well 😀

[@joostypip5482]

Quite simply put……beautiful and touching, these are the times we cherish and remember always….thanks! (Now Roo has a spare room!!)

[@ReubentheBulldog]

Many thanks!

[@pjg_77]

I’m actually feeling sad watching this. My own mother was literally broke when my sister left at about the same age as Rachel. You’re great parents 🙏🏻👋🏻

[@lindaking9222]

It is a difficult time when kids leave home but they do return..Reuben will help fill the gap…he senses the change

[@JH-sj3og]

Awe. He'll miss his sister 😢

[@lindayoung58]

Reuben this is so bitter-sweet. You gave Rachel great brotherly advice. (We heard truck 'clunk' from driveway- so yep, do check-in call to Dad.) Give a week or so then Sis may visit every weekend. Just remember King Roo- no matter where the girl is 'at', she is one of your subjects and loves you.

[@DavelyDriven]

It's not the same when it's always yours

[@havantpal]

That was so emotional...Our house just felt so empty and quiet when our daughter left for Uni...part of the house died...I missed her everyday...even her mess:) ....Hope it went well guys.

[@SuperQueenBee45]

This made me cry! I know Reuben misses Rachel, but perhaps not as much as Mom and Dad. Best wishes Rachel in your new apartment! Much Love and Light!☮❤🌟
