Shadows of the Past ¦ Big Snow, Big Gaps ¦ School Week 23

[@melanieboyle606]

Andrea was so patient and saw the cuteness and funny moments with her children for what they were. She was a rare person. She is missed!

[@nancisailormoy9135]

Watching these older videos makes it so hard to see everyone enjoying life having no idea what a few short months will bring. Missing your sweet soul Andrea.

[@elenaion3736]

This makes us understand how important is to live in the present, how fragile life is and that maybe tomorrow we'll be gone.

[@nathaliemann3145]

Nanci Moy 💔😢🙏

[@yvonneduffy6812]

How can someone who looks so well be gone now, so sad for this beautiful family.

[@taniacanal9751]

Hearing her voice 🥺 You know I've heard a lot of people reminisce about their loved ones that have passed, and the number one thing they say they miss is hearing their voice. And some people say they fear losing the memory of what they sounded like. What a blessing to have these videos where not only is she talking but she is saying the most wonderful things about her love for her family.

[@cindyhorst7021]

And best of all her laugh

[@janipip9919]

What a wonderful thing that you can remember these times together. Such a loving Wife and Mother. You have been truly blessed.

[@pauaolson]

I was pleasantly surprised to hear Andrea's beautiful voice and see her precious face. 💗💗💗 Thank you!!!!!!

[@taraschmidheini4674]

Yes, I'm going to watch more of her videos again. I do miss her

[@coffeeandcraftinmama6054]

❤️ I absolutely adored when Andrea set the camera down and filmed herself, enjoying the kiddos, during a typical school day. The smiling, the laughing, the soft interaction...oh just the peace. Beautiful video and thank you so much for sharing this video. I miss her terribly. ❤️ Praying for you all❤️❤️❤️

[@Kingsleykrewvlogs]

Me too !!!!

[@silverose1209]

I have decided to find a tripod or something for my phone so I can do the same with my just turned 2 year old. I realize how precious these memories of day to day things really are. :) I already take a ton of pictures.

[@jamichelletheharris]

I never knew I could miss, and ache for someone so much that I never got to meet in person. This video had me crying. Thank you SO much for uploading it, Tom. I’m truly grateful. 🙏🏻💕 Lord bless you...

[@Whisper.119]

One of the greatest moments in life is when a baby noticed a door stop for the first time. It gets me every time :-)

[@jenniferknight1511]

"What's all over you...oh no it's not..it's gross.. it's terrible!!" The real life of an amazing mom!

[@michaeldonnasefcik1832]

This hurts to watch so I can only imagine the pain you went through watching it. I'm so terribly sorry for you losing Andrea. 🙏🏼😢❤️

[@melissa1118]

Awe. What a sweet, patient, teacher and mom Andrea was. She sets a great example.

[@Blessedbears]

If all mothers could be this lovely this world would be changed. Agreed.

[@krisr3493]

Sending love. I am in awe and amazed how she ran the house and homeschooling with so much love and grace.

[@cherrysheets9909]

That is exactly how I feel too! She was full of grace and it comes through in her beautiful videos

[@cherrysheets9909]

@@elliegoldie6140 yes a woman in the house, a mother, is normally the center of the home. Thankfully we have a good heavenly father that understands the needs of those children and I believe prayer can change their situation. They are such precious children and we need to keep them in our prayers especially with these holidays coming up so quickly.

[@foreverblessed879]

This was hard to watch but even harder for you to edit. I miss her so much! Hearing her sweet voice brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Tom! 💙

[@SuperBamamama]

This was an early Christmas present. Thank you Tom, it must be difficult to get these ready to publish.

[@terriwallacker1867]

Thanks for sharing.

[@amajnoseworthy1216]

Tom, Your children have the best mommy in the world.

[@ktack57]

I can see the deep love in Andrea's eyes. When she looks at you her eyes wrap you up in her love and it's amazing to see her deep focus of this to each child.

[@largefamilyadventures681]

I miss her so so much. This brought tears to my eyes. I remember watching y'all when i had just 5 kids and thinking i wanted a big family and we started our channel because of her. I watched her everytime y'all posted. I have 11 kids now and run my home with nearly all her ideas. Her soul is alive in our home. She is so very missed. I'm so sorry for you and your sweet babies loss.

[@joanmilano5302]

I love these "look backs". Andrea was such an amazing mom!

[@D3Hearts]

This is so bittersweet to see. Andrea and the kids so content and happy. I've been struggling lately too with the loss of my mother. It's her birthday this week. Please remember Mills Family that grief is the result of love. The pain we feel is the proof of how much we loved that person and that love stays with us forever.

[@rachelday9585]

Prayers for you!

[@1214rdc]

Miss her dearly. This was such a special treat to watch her. Love her laugh and loved her just being her. Xxxxxx. I’m a better person for knowing her. Asher you are such a good guy and hard worker.

[@lorirenner2183]

The kids look so happy and healthy! I am starting to see glimpses of this in them currently (2023). The dark circles under their eyes are fading and their smiles are a little brighter.

[@tanyaambers2763]

It warmed my heart to hear Andrea's voice you are truly missed

[@auntjosie756]

I love when Andrea is reading to the kids and says "We will have to wait till tomorrow to find out what happened" - Suspense! Oh Tom Thank you so much for giving us new Andrea footage. I know how extremely hard that had to be watching her like she is still here then facing the long nights without her there next to you. God Bless You and your sweet sweet children.

[@madisonmccarty2532]

This is breathtaking. What precious little moments for the children to look back on.

[@charchlarson1501]

Really miss Andrea. Thank you Tom for continuing to share your Family with all of us

[@teresah4972]

I cannot believe how touched I am by a family I never knew before Andrias passing. But every day, I think of your passing, pray for you all and am grateful I found your channel, so thank can continue to pray!

[@connielahman5725]

Thank you Tom for sharing these beautiful moments of Andrea loving her family.She was so very special and her children will carry her love and devotion on to their own families one day.You two have given those precious children such a beautiful childhood.💕

[@FindingMyLight]

[@nancydambrot9160]

So nice to see and hear Andrea again, and to really see how Hannah's grown and how much hair she has now. Thank you Tom for posting

[@Kingsleykrewvlogs]

[@bettymengel3043]

So good to hear Andrea's calm voice and her laughter. Thank you for editing and sharing this Tom.

[@Achristianhousewife2024]

Andrea loved her children,, but she also really “liked” them too,, I miss homeschooling mine are grown now, keeping you and yours in my prayers brother. 🙏💕

[@Christy__M]

I love seeing Andrea in her environment! She inspires me as a mom to 7 wonderful kids, ages 18-1. My husband now watches the vlogs and lives with me. Thank you so much for continuing to edit and share these wonderful cherished moments with Andrea! It seems impossible it has been 3 months since her passing tomorrow. Continued love, blessings and prayers for you all! ❤

[@tammiep9628]

Such beautiful memories that your children have of their mom, there is so much love in that house! ❤️

[@cherrysheets9909]

I have been binge-watching all of the old videos I never saw and it just bless is my heart, every single minute of it. What a treasure these are! Andrea left you many gifts in these videos, the videos themselves! God bless every single one of you

[@jessicasmith973]

How precious. Sweet memories of Andrea. Her videos will be something that the kids can look back on and remember her. My heart aches for you guys.

[@kayleighstacey9654]

Oh Andrea you are so missed :(

[@karenbrown1140]

Awe I miss hearing her voice so much ! Continued prayers for you and all the family. Her videos will always be my favorite

[@brendabrown2711]

Andrea had the most calming voice. She was such a great mother,she loved her family so much. God bless you Tom and the children.

[@cindyhorst7021]

You've raised such industrious, hard working boys

[@scarlettmartinmd9131]

Amazing children! They will go far in life!

[@cynthiaswenson3262]

this is so sad for me to watch & i can only imagine how hard it was for Tom to edit. i was thinking that Tom must feel like there is a huge hole in his heart, but then again, somehow God will heal & fill that painful gap, in His time, with something even better. it is something He has done for me over & over. i am learning i can trust God, even when the losses feel too unbearable at the time! love & prayers for the Mills family, in Jesus' name 💗💗💗

[@knuddelkatze452]

It was so sweet to hear andrea's calm voice when the video began! Such a loving mom and human! Thank you tom for uploading!

[@laurie9377]

I feel sad that I only came to know about Andrea at the end of her life. Watching and hearing the soft gentle way she interacts with the children is mesmerizing. I think of her often and the unfairness of her leaving so young and with so many children who need her.

[@Jo.H.]

So hard for you to Edit Tom, Thankyou for sharing your precious memories with us. Andrea will never be forgotten by many many people. Such a wonderful mum and wife x💖x

[@bluejae4850]

It must be incredibly hard for you to edit these, but also cathartic. Thank you for continuing to share with us.

[@pew9277]

Love hearing Andrea's voice. She was a wonderful woman. God bless you all.

[@leahpitman2731]

I mean.......I’m cold just watching the boys shoveling .....and they are wearing SHORT SLEEVES,!! Even in my house in winter I’m wearing layers! And we hardly ever get snow! Sweet family!! I’m still so sad for all of you. What a beautiful mother Andrea was! Even watching your videos I can’t imagine your heartache still. Heaven will be so wonderful....no more death!! And here God eases our pain because we know that one day we live forever!! Really live!!! Without even the tiniest hint of sin! Wow! The snow is so white....when Jesus washes our sins and we are white as snowy,

[@nell287]

Beautiful.......Thank you.

[@janetsides901]

How is it possible to miss someone I never met?

[@e.cahill9594]

Thank you Tom for this beautiful look back, I can’t imagine how hard it was for you to post this. I miss Andrea and her beautiful love of family 💕💕💕

[@cindyhorst7021]

I swear it sounds like Solomon (off camera) says "Mom you're gonna get sick I think in June" starting at 9:25

[@SISSYKAY]

I thought he said she was "going to get sick too," because she was cuddling Claudia who wasn't feeling well.

[@mystic4528]

Cindy Horst yes he did say that! Wow

[@jessademain1247]

I am so glad you have all these videos for your family and for us viewers. I am especially glad that you have these videos for the little ones who may not have memories of her. She had all the patience in the world with the kids. May she rest in peace and love.

[@kerriscakesmalvern1947]

@1.57 Andrea showed her face & the tears immediately started to fall. I like so many others miss her face, voice & sweet gentle soul. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is for you to edit these vlogs. Thank you! Sending love from the UK xx

[@agoraphobicali1149]

It hasn’t gotten any easier for me to hear her voice, and I’m sure it’s still not easy for your family as well. I wish you love and happiness as we move into the holiday season ❤️. Andrea and the entire Mills family is on my mind all of the time!

Andrea was and is an inspiration for us all, to try to be good and kind more , and to show our children and grandchildren how much we love them every single day. Just to try harder at whatever we do.

Wonderful family, Andrea is missed, she is watching over all of you All my love🙂🙃👏❤️🇨🇦

For some reason the clip with Andrea sitting on the couch sewing made me really tear up xoxo

[@souldawn2187]

I think the voice of Andrea is the closes with have to a voice of a angel 😇 💕💗💕💗

[@makingithome8493]

1:08am and can’t sleep. Andrea...why’d you have to go. Everything you did consistently turned into a Masterpiece. I seriously think of you everyday. It’s like I hear you saying, “Oh, it’s okay. It’s not a big deal. At the end of the day just do your best is all that matters.” And even while she says these things that put me at ease, she continues to inspire me to be better. ❤️
