You have my deepest Blessings 9/11 so so sorry for your deeply personal loss. I wish I could Hug you ❤ Be very very proud of how you have taken charge of your life over the years. Your husband would be proud of you too. God Bless you your home and your children 🙏 ❤❤❤

[@holleyvanoski1537]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and all the victims affected by 911. The place is looking amazing! Bravo!

[@holleyvanoski1537]

Hugs sent!!

[@deenaorrsnest9272]

I am so proud of you Abby. You are teaching a generation that were not alive at "9/11" how to move on with your grief. My son was 5 years old on 9/11. He decided to become a firefighter. He is out there right now on his 8th season of fighting our North/West wildland fires. Your courage to bring your grief to France and restore the Chateau gives many people faith to go on. Thank you🌼

[@pattyt7776]

I’m sure your husband is always watching over you and your children, happy and so proud in all of your accomplishments-the bonds of love are never broken. As nice as it was to have all the volunteers helping you, your kids and their friends seem to bring a really vibrant energy to the chateau right now. I am so happy they could be there during this time for you, Abby! Thank you for sharing this. ❤️❤️

[@dianehauldren8191]

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life through your adventures.🤗🤓

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

I’m sure your husband would be so happy & proud to see you following your dream. He will always be with you and the kids in your hearts. Bless him and you❤

[@craftinginmypjs953]

I am so happy to see your family around you! The Chateau is coming along beautifully!!!

[@Sushi2735]

I’m so sorry. There are just losses we never get over, and you and you kids have a extra rough time. The chateau is coming along so beautifully. You are making a simply stunning home! And the kitchen is looking fabulous! You have found so many fantastic antiques I’m blown away! Just lovely. ❤

[@Gardengirl4]

Very sorry for your loss, raise a glass to your dear husband, he would be so proud of you and your children x

[@Reet64]

Sending you a big hug to help you through tomorrow. Things are looking great.

[@welovefluffycats]

Abby your daughter is such a lovely young lady 😊

[@Judith-e8g]

God bless you and your family....I've always believed that the "passed loved ones" CAN still know and watch over us all. This is my way and my parents way to believe. You are a lady of strength....and I admire you...having raised two children...renovated a firehouse (with some help) and now taking on a chateau. Emotional strength and committed strength to go forward. Hugs and blessings from USA-Va

[@jenwhi7778]

Abby watching the kids unwrap the sheets I got so excited. It’s becoming so real. Your vision your dream. And having the kids come to stay and being together during this time is comforting for you all. ❤🕊️🌞

[@debracurry1423]

I’m so happy your children r there with you at this time of year. Brings tears to my eyes because it’s a hard time for u. Blessings to u all.

[@melodyfisher1512]

I will hold you and your family in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.♥️ I enjoyed every second of this episode. Thank you! The chateau is coming along beautifully. I love all of your finds. I’m so glad to see your kids there with you enjoying your magical place.

[@pamyacuzzo6614]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you remember. I'm sure Aaron would be so proud of you, and yes he would love it. I know I say it every time but, yes, everything is coming along so well and it's so pretty. It The Chateau just gets more and more beautiful. Love seeing your daughter and the guests.

[@pman2916]

Sad to see Bruce go but so glad your children are there with you during this difficult time. Prayers to you all🙏

[@binalavery836]

Sorry for you loss and your family's! I know many of us still cry on that day and can't imagine what you feel! Amazing that you have help and everything is looking great!!

[@laurielyon3481]

Love 💕 the chandelier in Olivia’s room. Her room is so magical!

[@cynthiamorton3583]

Allo, Abby! A good time for your family to be all together. I sense that painting is therapeutic for you in some way. Interesting that as you recognize a time of past darkness for your family you hang and seek lights. Wishing you all well as you continue your preparations for your upcoming retreat.

[@lbuffc]

I was thinking about you yesterday and your loss. You are doing so much and it’s great seeing your chateau become a home❤

[@swenger27a]

I was actually thinking about you this past week as I watched your last vlog and how hard it must be for you in September. It is that way for me during the 4th of July with the sudden passing of my Dad 5 years ago. I think your husband would probably love this adventure that you have found yourself in. My thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow.

[@taunyawren8020]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I imagine it is pretty hard being reminded. I’m glad you’re family is with you. Sending you hugs and wishing you all blessings. By the way I just remembered something. When you were all in the store shopping at the thrift store. A woman seemed to encroach upon the items you were looking at. And it reminded me that that happens to me when I go to thrift stores. Like I literally have to be discreet if I’m not sure or just grab it because it seems others become interested. Thought it was kinda funny.

[@sandra4710]

Abby my heart breaks for you. What an inspiration you are for us all! It's been such fun to be along for your chateau ride from the start. It's beautiful; every little bit of it!. And, by the way, your kids are a very handsome bunch!! Onward my dear! You are so brave!

[@HandbagDiva]

Thinking of you these next couple of days Abby & family ♥️

[@beckybox2596]

How full your heart must be to have your chateau full of youthful voices, laughter and strong bodies to carry those heavy pieces of furniture. Let yourself feel accomplished in surviving these twenty + years. ❤ Blessings to you and your children.

[@gailboddie4219]

Your living the life Abby.

[@catkiki7779]

God Bless you and Give you peace with luv!

[@laurielyon3481]

Sending thoughts of comfort at this time. I think your husband would be so proud of how you bravely raised your family so wonderfully. And how you have taken on a chateau restoration project that will bless many people now and in the future.

[@MissSilencedogood]

This is exactly what you needed during this difficult time, a fruitful distraction. You are so lucky to have your kids and willing "colitas" is what we call them in Spanish when referring to the boyfriends who come along for the ride. They make moving things and helping out such light work so they do earn their keep lol. When everyone pulls together it works so much smoother. Count your blessings and from here they look like many aww. 💕

[@melodygarry9016]

Thinking of you on 9/11. 💕 On a lighter note, as your daughter was squatting down looking at dishes, right at 10:29 her boyfriend walked up behind her holding the lamps and a chair, and the movie “The Jerk” with Steve Martin came to mind. “…and that’s all I need…just this lamp…and this chair…”

[@ma-ac5507]

I love your paint!!! That replacement of cabinet is gorgeous. Bruce is going to be missing even for seeing how wonderful and nice person he is. CHLOE!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you There are so many things to thank how wonderful and beautiful everything is coming. You get your Kids and more Wonderfull young people. The Chateau is coming so Wonderfull. OH Glory to GOD. Do not be worry about anything. People will enjoy it so much, Remember is a different place no matter what and the company, the love, the wonderful things you will be sharing. Histories, new people. COnratsd for everything good that is going in your life. My best good energies, a big hug and Blessings. Remember to tell CHLOE that I love her and give a hug from me. à bientôt 👏❤ ☺🙏🏻

[@debranicholson9223]

Bless you and keep you especially during this time ❤ wonderful that you have your kids with you!

[@ceahorse56]

Your husband would be so proud of you and the kids! Can only imagine how hard it must had been to move forward but your strong and seem happy now. Did Olivia forget her frame art on the first visit to the thrift store? She put them down to look at the silver pieces and I never saw them again. ❤ to your family!

[@ritagarrison8315]

Thinking about you and your children on this day, just know you are an awesome person and mother and what you are doing is so admirable, you have accomplished so many things to be proud of and an inspiration to us all, you place is so beautiful, I'm excited when Sunday rolls around to see what you are doing for the week, God Bless you and your family and hope Bruce finds his way back also

[@laurielyon3481]

Wow Carter’s room is really striking, and coming together nicely!

[@BCapStarR335]

I'm so glad that you and your children can be together tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the browsing, purchasing, & placement of your beautiful finds! Everything is coming together nicely.

[@lgrigg5439]

The joy on my face when your video comes up!! You should be so proud of yourself and your beautiful family its a shocking thing that you had to go through god bless you and your family.

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Oh, Abby, what a hard day for you! It's wonderful to have your kids with you today. How amazing to have those young, strong people there! Somehow they seem so much more resilient than we do, as we age. I feel that now. The chateau is looking gorgeous, and all that hard work is paying off! Take care.

[@MinaBurrows]

9/11 still hurts yes- so many years passed and yet it is still so raw. Sending you ❤. The place looks amazing. Bruce and all the volunteers are just wonderful! ❤🎉

[@jillphillips3227]

Thinking of you and your amazing kids on this bittersweet day, 22 years after your world imploded. Far away is good and your sweet hubs would be so proud of all you and the kiddos have ended up in France. I think he is always just a whisper away from you and the kids......sometimes its hard to be quiet enough to hear that whisper, but always worth the effort. Sending love and thoughts.....carry on, rejoicing...often with tears, but moving forward! Cheers!

[@LaPrincessa1947]

Aaron would have been so proud of what you've done with your life!

[@conniebaldino1081]

My deepest condolences! Nice your daughter is there helping you shop. You should ask the girls from Lady of the Chateau Productions where they shop at brocante an antique shops. They seem to get nicer things at better prices. I also think the wall hanging over the long table is a little small, maybe you could use it some where else. You have plenty of places, lol! ♥️♥️♥️♥️😘

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Thinking about you and your family today and all the families who lost so much on that awful day.

[@caz6453]

Abby, my heartfelt condolences to you and your children on this somber day of remembrance.

[@gdbreon8300]

I just love the green room! Thank you for sharing your French journey. 💕

[@jamieloom22]

I will never forget that the morning of 9/11 the sky was an incredibly beautiful blue with no clouds & bright sunshine.

[@lmgtulsa]

Sending you and your children lots of loving and happy vibes tomorrow. Im glad your kids will be with you.

[@Bookhart2]

OMG. I need those cardboard inserts from the sheets! Fun video this week. Those strong, young “ furniture movers” looked to be a big help. And the girls, I know, are going to be great decorators for you.

[@katherineridings7937]

I had no idea you were touched by 9/11 in this way. I am so sorry to hear this. I didn’t know you specifically of course, but I have covered your family as well as the many others impacted by this tragedy in prayer over all these years. I have been following you for months unaware of this history. To “meet” you this way is surreal. We will never forget. Hugs to you from Kansas.

[@JuanDiaz-be2pr]

Hi Abbie, is so awesome to see to transformation. I love the sightseeing of France, thanks for that. Hugs from Boston!

[@Ramona-i6d]

Absolutely beautiful seeing those young people there helping. You must be thrilled to have your children there.❤️

[@boyroyboy226]

So much progress! So grateful your children and the others (boyfriends and yoga instructor) are there to help. Many hands make light work. The chateau is coming together! Much continued success to you.

[@TravelingLight777]

You are a strong woman and a heroine and exactly where you are supposed to be. Thank you for inspiring us all at the Chateau Borie💙❤️🤍

[@maddiedelvalle7327]

So sorry again. I dread this upcoming day . I’m a New Yorker and I feel it every year…Lots of love to you!

[@BrandonHunt-c3y]

I know your husband would be very proud of you and your children, to me I'm proud to know you are doing something you love and knowing it's hard moving to another country, it makes all of us see that people can move on , be proud of yourself Abby, I see you as a strong person that alot of us want to be , you give us the strength to do the same, God Bless you, enjoy life

[@reginagurganus3064]

Abby, I'm so glad your kids and their SOs are there with you. Everything looks like it's coming together. I will be thinking about you and prayers are sent out to you and all of the families of 9/11. We will never forget. My heart goes out to you.

[@maryhirsch2909]

There are losses we just never get over. Prayers for you and family. So glad the kids are there with boy friends! Everything is looking so nice. Love the places you go shopping. I would be going nuts! Love the kitchen. Bless you all.

[@predatornz.5493]

😢 Big hugs on to u Abby even tho it's been years since the horror of 9/11 I can see it's still very raw , but I bet Aaron is looking down smiling at what u are doing and have done over the years he be so very proud of u . ❤💜🎨 The painting is gorgeous.

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

Your daughter does have a very good sense of design, and it looks like she really enjoys the challenge of using it. As you are nearing the finish line, I think of all the hard work it has taken the 'army' to get there. When you are truly happy with the completion, I hope you do a before & after tour of each part of the chateau (coordinating with the first walkthrough video). I have been there since the begining . Your vision has created a bright, timeless and beautiful elegance to the old chateau. I truly enjoy each episode. Thank you for sharing your excelent adventure!

[@maggiecostello7755]

Sending you and your family lots of love and best wishes at this very sad time. It’s great to see the Chateau coming together after all the hard work you have put in, well done. 💐🌷

[@dianajemison105]

I'm so happy that the kids are with you. I'll be thinking of you today, as I'm sure most of your subscribers will be. You found some really nice things while you out brick et bracking. I love the mirror. I'm glad you had some muscle there to take that furniture upstairs. I hope you have lots of laughs and fun times while your kids are there. 😊

[@carolehanrahan]

I'm glad that you have so many wonderful distractions and so many lovely people around you this time of year. The chateau is really starting to take shape with all of your hard work.

[@ianrussell1897]

I am sorry to see Bruce go, hope to see him again in the near future. So sad for the emotional anniversary of 9/11, can only imagine the pain you must feel. BUT you have come so far and love following your journey in France.

[@maurawhelan3530]

Deepest sympathies on your loss. You have made a lovely life and adventure for yourself and given so much joy to so many. your husband would be pleased I am sure. Enjoy the chateau! It’s so fun to watch your progressAbby. Xo

Dear Abby, sending my thoughts,love & prayers,for the loss of your husband🙏❤️ Family & friends are wonderful to have around you at these times ! Their full of energy & great that they’re helping move furniture & make up the beds 🛌 for you ! Lots of love 🥰💐

[@hiris1903]

The trauma of a sudden terrible unexpected loss seems to imprint itself in the subconscious memory, so I understand how you can feel the approach of the anniversary date. Grief is something that we need to embrace, knowing it's no longer constant, so the lows can be endured knowing the good times are close by. Love your adventures in France! Beautiful children you have :)

[@TravelingLight777]

Would love to put one of the antique daybeds in the garden with outdoor fabric and a lounge umbrella over it Lol 😂 💙🤍❤️

[@amypulliam3934]

Prayers for you and all others on 9/11 that have been affected or lost loved ones. We all are affected but not all have lost. Your chateau is becoming absolutely beautiful, elegant and a home. All of your treasures and furnishings are beautiful. Blessings.

[@valerieb.4912]

Abby, The other day I was thinking about you and hoping that being in France would make 9-11 a bit of a positive reflection for you and your family. Also, your Chateau is really coming together so nicely and beautiful just like the owner. Take care and God Bless.
