I think we all love Suzie. She said the reaction to this show made her feel as if she was "being hugged by the whole world." She was right... and I was one of them.

I lost my mum just over a month ago and I can identify to some degree. I have cards written by my mum - I found a hand made one she had made me a few years ago!

[@svenska81]

My mother had a mundane note on the back of an envelope from my father who passed of cancer at 45. She treasured that simple note, though she had many other cards, etc., but maintained “I can just hear him in my ear when reading that.”

[@josevalentin890]

As an American, I love this show. I like all types of restoration shows but this show I really adore. This episode really brought tears to my eyes. To see Suzie break down and reminisce about her late husband was a genuine moment that I have never seen on the show before and when her brother Steve came to console her warmed my soul knowing Suzie had the support of a loved one nearby to get her through that moment. I can't get enough of this show.

I had always been known as a hard a** but when i watch this show, im a on my couch with tissues 🤧 everytime, it is the passion they show not only for what they do but for bringing joy to people.

[@tresformidable]

I love Suzie! She's a very human lady, and she's very gifted.

[@ccl5141]

The Repair Shop "UK", Is the absolute best of the best. To hear the stories of those that have taken a Family Heirloom into The Repair Shop to be mended whether the stories are heartbreaking or happy is always so very touching. The entire team at The Repair Shop have a gift of love and talent to mend such items they handle with such care. It is not uncommon to see them tear up while hearing the stories or seeing the reactions of those that have returned for their items. I tear up as well, while Suzie lifted the saddle off the horse and broke down I too could not stop the tears. They are such an important part of keeping loved items around for the next generations to come. This show deserves many awards as do the people that work so well with each other. I tell you, if I had such an important Heirloom that needed mending, I would save every cent I had to take it across the pond to this team. Absolutely Wonderful Show and from Jay on down the line.... you are all Angels without Wings.

[@huggles46]

Love this show & the gang

I lost my dad a couple of years ago to Leukaemia, all very sudden and I never got to say goodbye as he was sedated in ICU on a ventilator when I got to the hospital... I desperately searched for ANYTHING that had his writing on it, even down to a padded envelope he had sent something completely unimportant to me in several months before. I cherish everything he wrote on now. I always loved his handwriting, so neat and precise, and I regularly just hold and look at the items now, knowing he wrote it in his own hand. I completely get this video and her reaction.

The clock maker is Suzie's brother and it is nice to see him there to comfort her. I was 35 when my Mum died, leaving me feeling like a lost child in a supermarket... everyone around wants to help but you're struggling with that sinking feeling. Since then, small random notes, receipt with written amendments on them. Passport and old check books mean so very much. Next year I'm 40 and as I type this, I am filled with memories of my Mother's 40th when I was a child. Watching this is a very emotional moment, I'm sure for many many people.
