Something to be EXTRA Grateful for This Year

[@emmagohery]

The part about Shari coming to your home for lunch and to do laundry made me tear up. I am so glad she has a safe and calm place to go when she needs it. ❤

[@fatimaamery928]

Yes I feel happy for her

[@amandanicole7955]

This is what aunts and uncles are for. They love all their nieces to pieces despite hard times or disagreements. I don't know ruby's situation but I keep her and the kids in my prayers. I adore shari and love that she developed into a loving caring woman. So good to see her sweet face.

Julie, you and Bonnie are a beautiful example of “loving family”.

[@arianalempera3948]

agreed!!

[@Heidicr60]

So good to see Shari🥰! She is truly such a beautiful young lady! Her bright smile being with her Aunts and Uncles completely made my day! Happy Thanksgiving Deru Crew🦃

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@MsLazydaze]

It’s so lovely to hear you have contact with Shari

[@karbear26]

Im so glad that Shari is able to hang out with you guys since her other family has chosen to isolate themselves from you!! Shari Needs that family support where it’s lacking in her immediate family!

[@kaycieb4464]

I appreciate how Julie asks if certain things can be filmed e.g Lucy singing and Emma in the cold water. It’s so important to include the children in their own decision making, and a real step in asking for consent and choice in what they posted. A lesson all vloggers should be mindful of, especially when we start to see the fallout and consequences of informal consent. ❤

[@deniseryan4146]

Shari!!! With Shari being your oldest niece, she's like a little sister for you sisters and you sisters are like older sisters for her! Such love you have for each other! It does all your hearts good, especially your mom, getting to watch from far away💖

[@brittL]

This was so lovely! So happy to hear that Shari is a part of your lives! You can feel the love in this video!

[@anonymouse0221]

It is sad what Ruby has done to her family. I hope Shari's siblings have someone safe to talk to as well.

[@heyley2610]

Thank you for taking Shari under your wing and caring for her. You all have such big hearts

[@outwardbound2241]

I've been watching your and your families' channels on and off for the last few years. And while I don't know you and usually don't feel emotionally attached in any way, shape or form, seeing Shari in your living room and hearing that she does her laundry at your house genuinely made me happy and touched me heart. So glad she has the (emotional) support she needs. Even when we are grown and are perfectly able to manage life by ourselves, and I'm sure she does that brilliantly, we still need someone to have our back and come home to. I'm so sorry for what your family, and especially Shari and siblings, have to go through but there's always hope that eyes will be opened and things will get better. Fingers crossed!

[@susanaeirin]

Oh, Shari... How lovely is to see her again!

[@kmiller8249]

Awe so good to see Shari!!!!! She looks so grown up and glad she got out of that household. Now all we can do is pray for the other 5 kids

[@brittangeline]

So thankful for all of you for opening your arms and welcoming Shari in. She needs that and y’all are all wonderful aunts and uncles.

[@gracemerez9148]

It did my heart good to see Sherri with you and Bonnie. I have been praying for your family Tobe whole again. God is good all the time. Just watch him work. Family is priceless, treasure them.

[@DonnaSmith-ff2wu]

So glad Shari has her aunts and uncles. I hope you can make contact with Chad and the other kids soon.

[@stacypierpont]

It’s so good to see Shari with you guys. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@lucyodonnell3685]

Julie you are the kindest most humble soul 😢

[@alexisnachimson8516]

Shari looks so happy and healthy! I love this for you all! Happy thanksgiving!

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

I'm delighted that Shari is reunited with you. She is such a lovely young woman who must miss her siblings so much. Family is everything

[@aspergerstkcassidy4621]

I think it’s so sweet that you have a lot of respect for your kids and their choice whether to be on or off camera when she wanted to sing you that song and you asked her if she wanted to be on or off camera she said no and you respected that that was very humbling to see.

[@dreuzelfan]

I love to see that Shari has found a good warm home to come to whenever she likes. Its good to see her so happy and serounded by family. 🥰

[@michelleboyce6405]

Aww I’m so glad to see Shari back with you guys. Can’t wait for the rest of the kids to come home to their extended family too

[@michelebadey3883]

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW BIG MILLIE IS!!!! JULIE YOU LOOK SO PRETTY❤️ SHERRY GREAT TO SEE YOU❤️

[@melodyclarke3439]

It made me tear up when I saw Shari in the vlog. She is in my prayers along with the rest of her immediate family. I can't imagine some of the hurt and pain she is going through, but I am glad that she has her aunts for support.

[@skyler749]

So happy to see Shari hanging out with her Aunts and Uncles. Its good to know shes in good hands.

[@thepinkballerinaful]

This video made my heart melt ❤ I love the support that everyone’s giving Shari. Shari deserves nothing but love and support right now.

[@lisanichols7481]

It truly is none of our business. You guys get to choose what you share, and we understand. It's so good to see you all with Shari and to know you guys have reconnected. So happy for you all!

[@amyk.p.4953]

As a mother of daughters and aunt (of a niece), I know how much your heart is bursting with happiness to have Shari back while at the same time your heart is longing for those nieces/nephews still away. So good to see Shari’s smiling face again and so glad she is able to reconnect with her aunts/uncles/cousins (even finally meeting Millie)!

[@khdavis]

So glad Shari had you ladies - it’s always a major plus to have fantastic aunts like y’all

[@bonniestieben]

I am literally so happy to see Shari with you all. What a blessing. I pray for full restoration for your entire family, love, healing and forgiveness is Jesus' name! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Nanasews4]

So Glad, Sherri has you and your family to be there for her. Family is so important. You and Landon have much love to share with others . Thanks for supporting such a sweet neice.

[@robinnieto2703]

it’s so wonderful to see Shari with you. Thank you for sharing. We just went last night to see The Chosen at our local theater.

[@paulinedennise7856]

Lovely to see part of your family back together again. Thanks for sharing.

[@debdunham1493]

Thank you for sharing this very precious personal moment with Sherri. It is so nice that she feels safe to visits and love her aunts and cousins. I felt such joy watching this. Thank you Julie.

[@Mccann2001]

Not me getting emotional when you were talking about your niece. We all know what’s been going on so for her to have you and your sisters to go to us amazing. You are all so strong. Thank you for finally speaking out ❤ Wishing you all the best of the best 😊

[@YolandasLifeVlogs]

Julie is the sister you do not mess with. Julie's going to give it to you straight. This is why I love watching and have been watching for years now! I can't believe that! 😊 I know & understand they are all just normal human beings but I like how Julie budgets and sets the record straight on some things. There's a saying, "Things happen for a reason." I don't know why I found this entire family on KZbin back in 2015 but I love watching their family dynamics and outings. I can relate to a lot of what they do especially when it comes to cleaning and organization. Lastly, I believe in God and his word so I don't believe in idols or being a fan but I watch because I love the entire family's traditions.

[@landonderu8814]

Julie is rock solid! You’re 💯% right!

[@cmmurnick]

So glad to see Shari with you guys, she is such a strong independent young woman!! My family was broken for 7 long years and when that time ended and we healed and reunited things are better than ever before!! Sorry we missed so much during that time but grateful for what we have today!!! God Bless everyone and all of that is really none of the public’s business!! Happy holidays!!

[@JulieDeru]

Thank you so much for sharing your story!

[@melissaziegler8632]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. So happy to see Shari and that you guys have reconnected. Makes my heart happy. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️

[@courtascot]

I’m so glad you contacted Shari . She seems like one of the girls.I love Shari.she’s always been a very responsible young lady

[@meera99999]

I appreciate that out of all the siblings you seem most open to speaking about everything going on. Even if it is such a short bit letting us know Shari is okay 🙏🏼

[@nestfulloflove]

Oh it makes my heart so happy for your family to hear Shari is in contact. I really have been praying for your family over the past year.

[@blythesmile]

❤️ So happy for her and you

[@sarahg9040]

I can feel the love you have with Shari, I’m an aunt as well and it’s a different type of love. so happy for you❤️

[@maryannjuarez6228]

I'm so happy for your family. I'm sure it means as much to Sherri as it does to you. What a beautiful family, inside and out. Now my eyes are all misty. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@brendad940]

Happy Thanksgiving Deru family! I don't know why I'm so choked up right now. Shari is a beautiful young woman inside and out and it's good to see you together. I can imagine how missed the others are as I am going through something similar with my son and I hope there is a Happy resolution for your family as well as mine. Sending much love from Wilsonville Oregon

[@francesbaker9481]

Oh yes, so happy to see Shari!! What a lovely young lady. I have missed seeing her.

[@hannagonzalez7729]

I'm so thankful Shari has you 3 (4 with grandma) women in her life as amazing doll models :)

[@featherjean6291]

Going through my kids clothes as I do the laundry. Its a stark reminder of how fast they grow. Its good to see Shari. We are praying for her and her family. 🙏🙏🙏❣❣❣

[@katelyncarmichael]

I’m so glad that you guys are so close to Shari. I was so sad for her thinking she was all alone.

[@jessicafromtexas2868]

I saw the picture that bonnie shared of you three and i am so happy to see Shari is with y'all family is very important,

[@AnAdventurousLife]

I'm so thankful that Shari has her aunt's. She is a beautiful young lady.

[@bernardinemckean2618]

I am so happy to see Shari with you all. I have to also commend you on respecting your children’s right to say no in not wanting to be filmed in certain aspects of their life no matter their age. Love and hugs to you all from Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺

[@dianeh.3327]

I am so grateful you reached out to Shari! Such a blessing you sisters can help her! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Porters leg and what he was saying had me cracking up! Hope it feels better.

[@deborahroshinsky7325]

Your love ❤️ is beautiful, thank God for people like you 🙏 and Landon for being so supportive and caring. God will work this all out .

[@martegulbrandsen1308]

I am so, so happy you have such a good relationship with sweet beautiful Shari. She seems to be an amazing young lady. I think it is great you protect your privacy where your family feel like it.🙌 I am sure that often is a conversation you have in your family since so much is shared publicly. We all have understood by now, you have gone through something very hard the last months, that are probably really hard . I am so sorry! It happens in every family, I am sure.. Sometimes time is the most healing thing of all, and I am sure what is hard now, will get better again . I have been through a lot myself in my family, and know how sad and hard it can be when siblings not are able to have the same relationship as before . My brother died, when I was young, so I always feel extra bad for siblings and family in general new to be separated for some time... Because, I know how much I would like to have my brother back, right? So when you have family, alive, you still can't have a relationship with it, It is really so sad. But, in our family we have found common ground and been able to heal what has been broken for a while. It is hard, but it is possible, I promise you ❤️ I also opened my home for a very loved Niese and nephews during such times, and now when we are all all friends and healed, we agree we are so happy we welcomes the kids, or younger generation , and just made sure they didn't have to suffer because of what was going on between the siblings/grown-ups who went through a ruff time . Love is the answer for most things, and I am sure you, and all of your family know that. God bless you all, and the hurting parties especially 🙏❤️ Love from Marte over in Norway ❤️🇸🇯

[@duckyone20]

Millie is just so big now. Looks like Porter is having growing pains. I can't believe Emma is old enough to decide what doesn't fit etc. I agree you need to keep things private, it isn't anyone's business but yours. Shari is an adult now and makes her own decisions. I'm so happy you've got close with her in this stage of her life. Hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

[@10k4ci4]

So glad Shari has a safe place to land ❤ aunties are the best ❤

[@carmellaraffa6932]

Julie you are such a loving and caring person! It melted my heart seeing Shari so happy with her Aunts and Uncles! Good bless you and your beautiful family❤️

[@aidanegron1385]

Omg I love seeing Shari. Hope she’s doing amazing. She’s so sweet and funny. I’m happy that some healing has begun for the family m, hope it continues with the other children and family. I’m thinking Porter May have just had some growing pains in his bones and muscles. But it was hilarious when he literally forgot which leg he was complaining about.

[@feramaya4643]

Julie you could just see how happy you were!! So happy for you guys!!

[@christinaneeparker]

Thank you for sharing, Julie. I teared up seeing Shari 🥰 And I whooped at Emma’s achievement in the cold plunge tub! That’s one brave girl! 😮 😊

[@jillthomas4926]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you guys are helping support Shari!! Family is so important! Especially during difficult times!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Gia2001]

Aw Julie! You’re such an amazing aunt! I always wished to had an aunt growing up! And now I wish I had an aunt like you🥹❤️

[@leilaniperez9006]

It makes me so happy to see you guys there for Shari. Let alone seeing Shari with you guys! I’m glad u are there for her🥺💗

[@taz_kempf]

It’s so lovely to see Shari and to know that things may be getting back to happy family dynamics. I don’t know why or what happened to start with, and I respect your privacy. I just feel so happy as at the same time as we started to not see The Franke’s my little brother decided to distance himself from our family and we have in my seen him 3 times for very short periods as we try to mend what has broke without really knowing. Breakdowns in families are so painful to journey through. X

[@rosemarywilliams9667]

Well done you looking out for Shari .. She is a lovely young lady and you Aunty's should be so proud taking Sheri under your wings. Girl power

[@Georgia-WRBNS]

So Great to see Shari!!! We've missed you So! Thanks, Aunt Julie!

[@marlasturgill8306]

It was so good too see Shari, she’s such a sweet young lady that’s got her stuff together! Cooper reminded me of my daughter when she was his age one minute her legs would be hurting then the next she would forget about them hurting and the minute you said, I thought you hurt your legs. Lol start limping right away lol.... Kids are so funny... Emma I’m so proud of you way to show us ...

[@gina8546]

My daughter started having those " growing pains" often. It went on for longer than I liked. She was actually diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Just something to think about. I'm so happy that Shari is spending time with all of you. Happy Thanksgiving

[@martegulbrandsen1308]

We used wool on our kids, that seemed to help them through growing pain.

[@adougherty93]

Happy thanksgiving Landon, Julie, Emma, Cooper, Porter, Lucy, & Amelia!💕🦃

[@beverlyspringer2496]

I am so happy to hear that Sherry has you

[@lornavansteen4416]

My heart is happy that you are there for Shari! Coming from a family of five siblings, (which 2 have chosen to break from my family), you are doing the absolute best by giving Shari back her Aunties and uncles and cousins…. and a non judgmental place to come.I applaud you! I knew I followed your family for a reason! Tell Shari we want to see her more! Who knows she may help someone in her same situation. Happy holidays!

[@shonariordan9411]

So happy shari has you all as a safety net , delighted she has you as family , hope her younger sisters and brother get to have this as well one day soon aswell x

[@chloefrazier1289]

I am So Happy That Shari Is In Vlogs And Feels So Comfortable And At Home With You Guy's That Is So Nice To See I Love That.
