The hardest video I will ever make

UPDATE March 2023 I appreciate all of the love, cards, gifts, money, the love letters you have written sharing your own stories with me, the photos, the recipes....all of it.....all of it! I love hearing your stories of survival and healing and your cards have meant so much to me and to the kids. Thank you for those who send cards specifically for Mason and Mina. They love to sit and read them and place the card in their room. For a logn time, Mina tapped them to her bedroom door on display. Thank you for loving my babies through all of this for the past two years!
I was asked if I could open a new PO Box for those who wanted to continue to send love, so I did and I thank you very much in advance:
PO Box 363
Standish, MI 48658
My GO FUND ME was closed in January 2022 and was placed in a protected Trust for Mason and Mina. I will never be able to thank you enough for financially covering us, both in donations as well as money you directly sent to us to survive on during our long and difficult recovery. You will never know how much you helped us. How thankful I am to each and every one of you. I wish I could have sent out thank you cards, but was unable to write with my injuries but know......I am eternally grateful. THANK YOU!!!! xox

I just found your site today. Of all day's to see this dated on Mar 2nd. That date is the day of what was also my car accident. Almost everything you went through with your body, the drunk driver, and the loss of my baby girl. I was in critical care so sadly I did not even get to be at her service, she was 8 months old. My Son was 3, and they never found him for 8 hour's after the accident. The car had been towed to the junk yard. I would wake up every so often and kept asking where he was. Fianlly my family arrived and they also asked where he was. By the grace of God they find him under all the rubble of my car. He was on life support for 93 day's. When he woke up he did not know me or any of the family. Anyone could have been his family! I think part of that was a blessing for he never asked about his baby sister bc he did not know he had one or even what the word sister meant. Yes he had a severe closed head injury. Once he woke up he had both legg's and arm's casted and his jaw was broke in 4 place's. I had a broken neck and 6 rib's broke and a head injury. I never got to see him till 6 week's after the accident. I know I am telling my story only bc I seen that date of Mar 2nd. A mother never forget's date's that tragedy happened on. My Son [only child I have now] is doing well. He learned to talk, crawl, walk, and LOVE HIS MOMMY. I am so sorry for your loss, and even tho it has been a year & a half for you, I know you still have sad day's and painful days as well. You are in my prayer's, and I look forward to watching you progress. To all your follower's please forgive me for sharing my story, it help's sometime's to just tell it.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Typing through tears my heart is absolutely broken for you. I am so very sorry. Sweet mercy! May the Lord hold both you and your son in his right hand and I know your sweet baby girl is with you both. She will be waiting for you both one day. Oh how I wish I could just hold tour hand and cry with you. God Bless you sweet sister. 💔

I lost my fiance and unborn child to a drunk driver. She was 7 months pregnant with what would have been my first daughter. Words cannot console you in these moments.

I think we should just have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to alcohol and driving. Let’s just make it so if you drink any amount you simply cannot drive. It might be inconvenient, but it would save countless lives. It would take away the grey areas. Call a cab, call a friend, or just don’t drink if you’re driving. I’d love to see that be the law.

**ATTENTION** For those of you like me who want to help but cannot afford to do so financially, try to devote some time to watching some older videos, or re-watching them. I think that will add to her YT income. So since I am not working, I have a lot of time to spend watching YT, I have set a daily alarm & am going to watch at least a few videos per day from this channel. So if you just commit to maybe one video per day or even a weekly commitment if you have less time, anything is something, right? The more of us that watch, the more of a difference it should make. Just an idea- Take care all! -☆♥︎☆

Babygirl, you need to stop apologizing. I cannot imagine the depth of hurt you have. Matt was one helluva man and he loved the hell out of you as you did him. Please do not worry about this channel or any of us. It's our turn to take care of you. You have our love and prayers for you and the kids. Take whatever time you need, forever if need be. Grieving will take a long time and right now you just need to take care of you and your babies. You mom was watching over you and the kids and now she's taking care of Matt. Love you to pieces sugar.

Me too. I sent Heather's site to a nurse coworker of mine who years ago delivered a full term stillborn after many prior losses. She kept her with her in room several days not wanting to say goodbye to her. She reminds me of Heather and would totally understand such tremendous loss and be blessed by her. She told me she is going to follow her. ❤

I haven’t even clicked anything yet to find out your name or what your channel is even about, but you just gained a subscriber. Vulnerability is scary and so, so hard, and yet it’s incredibly powerful. I welcome the opportunity to pray for you and your family as you navigate a new path in such a different way than you’d ever planned. Much love and strength to you. 💕

I understand your anger but perhaps you don’t understand the situation of this person that made it behind the wheel. They had a very high alcohol reading of .35+ they very well didn’t know how/what they were doing, let alone the capacity to call an Uber. Does not excuse them for what they’ve done. That person is dead by their actions. This woman has lost her husband among injuries. Please try to focus your anger into healing vibes for this woman and her family.♥️

@@TheKneadyHomesteader Thank you so much for your prayers for my son, drug addiction is the devil’s playground especially for a believer In Christ. The closer my son gets to having a relationship with our Lord Jesus, the more he falls into earthly traps. Yes, we all have our tribulations of hell on this earth. Some may think others are worse than others, I believe they’re all equal in pain and suffering when laid at the feet of our most high, realizing when you’re in the thick of it is the key.
