TODAY is THE DAY

[@MultiCinderella23]

I am behind in watching vlogs. My heart aches for you Nick as your frustration with the care your mom is receiving at hospice.

[@Chieftracyhorse]

What a fantastic son and son-in-law , you have been. Credit to both of your families. Sending you both love and respect.❤

[@p.j.driton4528]

I love the bond you have with your parents. Beautiful to see. We had a Golden Retriever named Winston. Best dog ever!

[@annciesla1003]

You guys are so amazing and strong to be with your mom I'm sorry you guys are so tired and seeing your mom this way love you both

[@sherryperez8228]

So sorry Nick about your Mom's treatment at the hospice. When my Mom was recommended hospice we did it at home. They had everything she needed delivered to my home, had a nurse 24/7, doctor came in every day at noon. We could call him anytime to come in and we also didn't want Mommy all drugged up so the nurse would monitor the pain and if she needed They would put a pastel under her tongue. My Mommy had colon cancer at 94 years old. It was the best experience I could have had. They even treated the family with psychological support. Taking care of a loved one takes a toll on you and you don't realize it. Bless your Mom and prayers that she gets better and relief from pain without the fuzziness.

[@julieyoung2788]

Sending all my love to nick & Leigh,sorry for the loss of your lovely mum ❤❤❤

[@pamelamark8578]

I hope one day you both can look back on these vlogs and realize how good you both have been to Nicks Mum. You will hopefully one day get comfort in knowing you did everything you could to love and advocate for her.

[@mandydavies955]

Hi Nick and Leigh. The worry on your face Nick breaks my heart. Leigh you are such a rock for Nick. 💙 💙

[@normalincoln8502]

Hugs for you both. Be strong & know she is all better now. ..No more pain.

[@elizabethkeogh6790]

Love to you both. When i was a kid we had a dog called Ouzo , and as a grown up had a rabbit called Jake.

[@Tac12349]

Sending lots of hugs to you both I lost both my parents to cancer it is so hard ,thank you for the vlogs and sharing your journey xx

[@karenwilliamson1861]

I feel your pain with the bureaucracy of the many different ways that all the medical people deal with things . I lost count with the number of different creams and painkillers the district nurses ordered because there was a different one that come out to see my late husband and all had their various ways on how to deal with different treatments . I know that dealing with someone with cancer can be very exhausting. The way the both of you have supported each other getting you both through a very difficult time in both your lives. Nick you did your mum proud , no matter how exhausted you felt putting 110% in everyday to help her through her treatment and care. I know that had you needed to do it all over again you would. Many people say you will get through your grief but make sure you take time for each other and things will get easier. The pain never goes away , but you learn how to deal , just remember the wonderful memories you all shared together and they will get you through. Take care of yourselves big hugs xx

[@jgilmore9986]

Thank you for sharing these videos of your Mom. I know it must be extremely difficult for you both. Hopefully you will someday think of these as extra time with your loved one. Thinking of you both

[@lorraineheath2577]

Hi nick. Yes the morphine patch when you change it that's what happens it makes you drozy. But it gets better once it gets into her system. Bless her lovely lady. Xx

[@stevenpluff6481]

Sending love and prayers. O lost my dad to cancer in 99 and my mom to a stroke in 2018 right before I deployed to Kuwait. Not a day goes by I don't think about them. Especially now that my wife and I are living in the home they built. Thanks for sharing the vlogs.

[@inkyfingeredcat]

Nescafé good blend with Antony head (giles off buffy!) I think that was what you were on about

[@margotwelland2459]

Sending sincere condolences to you both 😢so so sorry that your mum passed 🕊️ having fought so bravely to be free of pain 🤍 xx

[@tinkerterry3397]

I just wanted to say I went through the cancer battle with my brother until September of 2022. I miss him greatly but I also have so many happy memories and I am so grateful I was able to be with and take care of him through his courageous fight. My thoughts and prays are with you.😪😇

[@LesleyH]

Truly so very sorry to hear about Gail. Devastating for you all. There's not much anyone can say to help with your grief, but I do hope you can find comfort that she is no longer in pain. The love you have for your Mum will never leave you. It's a weird transition after the funeral, so stick together & be kind to each other... you're going to need each other. Thinking of you guys ❤

[@Nomis4941]

Love the dogs names after drinks- I have Eric! 7,year old Shar Pei

[@jencicchetti4646]

I love watching your videos. They bring me comfort to watch. I’ve never been to England but love learning about you and your country. I hope to visit one day. My heart goes out to you Nick and your family. Having lost my dad to cancer I know the hole it leaves in our hearts. Love to see you two together. Also, we have 2 springer spaniels names Lilo and Daisy.

Got a bit teary watching this; poor Gail bless her. How frustrating for you Nick, I`m so sorry you had to go through all that.

[@amandaturnbull6547]

Aww it breaks my heart watching the vlog tonight I really feel for you nick we also went through the same thing as you are saying with my dad who I lost 10 weeks ago it is very frustrating and as you say there's no individual needs for your loved one every single day we got told different things and just did the same with the pain relief. You are so strong and have handled it amazing sending love and hugs ❤️

[@fionachadwick8005]

Just a ton of love to you all x

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

I have to admit Leigh, your face speaks a thousand words so we always know what you’re thinking without you having to speak. We had cats called Elvis (Presley) and Marty (Wilde) named by my son who was 12 at the time.

[@sparklingchelle2763]

So much love to you both. You are amazing x

[@gemmalt7457]

Bill Bryson At Home is literally my favourite book of all time! You will never look at your house in the same way again and it's also very funny. Read it! He's my favourite author.

[@jaccroft]

Heartwarming , sad knowing what we know now , and frustrating when you just wanted mum to be well and out of pain . You can see the love you have for your family and each other , very clearly . Loved it when Leigh said “ A slither of cake my Arse” but the way he pronounced it , was so very northern like us in Liverpool . Lots of new memories still to be made , whilst still remembering the old ones . Sending hugs 🤗 x

[@janicebetts878]

Very hard to watch knowing what’s happened love and hugs to you both .❤

[@tracypapworth8217]

Lovely to hear the stories about Gail and her love for dogs... Small comfort for you during a difficult time but important none the less ❤️ my dog is a spaniel called Ollie... He brought us a huge amount of comfort after we lost our beagle Buddy a year ago. Loyal companions xx

[@eleanorsampson7582]

We have a cheeky Cockapoo and he’s 11 years old. My husband named him for a joke “Steve” when I brought him home and the name stuck! My husband finds it funny when I’m yelling Steve across the fields 😂😂.

[@hollyjade12]

My dogs are Rex & Charlie (unfortunately we lost Charlie late last year). Sending you all lots of love and hugs xx

[@natalieharris5030]

You took good care of your mom, through to the end. I know it must've been tiring. Sending good thoughts to you both. Loved having dogs. I had a red chow named Red(very creative, we were) and a yellow lab named Allie.

[@nicolaraybould3801]

My current dog is called Bailey, he's a German Shepherd cross husky but he's a rescue and we didn't name him. We have 2 cats called Phantom and Binx. Lots of love to you both. Cancer is evil and it doesn't care who it hurts.

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Good choice with the toy dog, she’ll love it I’m sure because you gave it to her.

[@claref2302]

Nick & Leigh - such devoted son & son-in-law - very touching to watch 😢 we have a dog called ‘Mushu’ - friends of ours have always has black Labrador dogs - one after the other, always called ‘jet’ ! 😂 funniest thing as they all has quite different personalities so trying to reminisce a particular dog is very entertaining - they’re up to ‘jet’ 6 !!!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

[@adomanator69]

Great vlog as usual. Longer the better! Yes, used to go roller blading. Used to play street hockey. Don’t think the kids would be caught dead wearing them these days.

[@shirleymclean79]

Watching this Vlog knowing about your mum is heartbreaking.

Lost my dad 2 weeks ago after he never recovered from his stroke in December but he was in a specialist care setting & they were just amazing with him & us ❤ We also have 3 cocker spaniels named Charlie, Kes & Sawyer. Love & positive thoughts to you xx

Very emotional to watch the vlogs knowing that you are grieving, sending our deepest condolences to Nick & family and Leigh, totally understand how hard it is to lose a parent as been through it, but know your dear Mum is at peace, its just us that are in pain with the absence of loved ones, you have some lovely vlogs to look back on and remember the good times. We love your vlogs especially the florida ones my daughter even bought me a lodge boys happy place hoody which I shall wear on our trip to Disney in May. love Glyn & Nige K

[@fionahopper4074]

Hi I have just started watching your vlogs they are fab. I know what you mean about your mum's pain control meds. I had the same problem with my mum. If your worried you can get them checked by the hospital , not sure who though. .Love all the food and the cooking..xxxxx

[@patticadieux2709]

Seeing our loved ones like that is incredibly heartbreaking. Our hospices are exactly the same. All they do is drug up the patients so they don’t have to deal with them. It’s so tough on both them and the family. I am so sorry you all had to go through that.

[@ladymiriamful]

When I was little my neighbours dog was called Brandy 🥃

[@sharonwilliamson453]

Wanted to call our Labrador tequila but my husband had the choice this time, we called her Leila

I used to have roller skates the ones where you strap them on while wearing your shoes, the amount of times I nearly broke my neck in them 😂 then I upgraded to roller boots which were dark blue and yellow then I used to go to my local sports center on a Sunday morning and go round in circles 😂 boiled eggs in the air fryer, now that’s a new one, I will have to try it, I’d have never thought of that! Sending love, hugs and sympathy to you both and I’m so sorry for your loss, totally heartbreaking 💔

Sorry I’ve already posted a comment but forgot to say what my dogs are called 😂so I have Gypsy who’s a shih tzu and Zak who is a border terrier! I must say I do like the names you guys choose I would never have thought of naming them after drinks, quite a good idea ❤

[@lyndseybond3307]

We have a Cockapoo called Ted. Will be boiling eggs in the air fryer from now on. Heartbreaking watching these vlogs knowing what is to come, you have both been a huge support to not only your lovely Mum but each other. Every meal you cook looks amazing. Take care both of you, lots of love xxxx

[@tallactordude]

I haven’t had a dog in a long time because I live in a condo that’s not quite big enough for one. But my sister has a dog named Zelda, who is a hound mix. I can just imagine what a frustrating time that was for you when this vlog was being made, and especially dealing with doctors and other medical professionals who seemed to be working at cross purposes with each other.
