WE'RE NOT GOING HOME.

[@deedeew4040]

I am crying. I did not know Leslie personally, yet I felt her heart, her soul. She always had a smile on her face. She had a glow. She walked into a room and the room lit up. She loved her family with her every being.

From the first time you introduced your parents, I observed that your Mom was one of the few people I had ever "met" who exuded pure JOY. She was/is a gift❤😊

[@deborahallford7337]

I agree! Leslie would have been one of those that I refer to as Sunshine 🌞 , as they bring the sunshine WITH them wherever they go. She would've often heard from me, "Hey there, Sunshine!" had I known her personally. Leo loved the "Big Boat"! Adorable to watch!

[@hvac4u2]

Completely agree with this 💯! Fortunately for all of us, the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree as we can see this attribute beaming through in Allie...😊

[@bbakus8]

Allie, I admire how you respond to Leo's "wa-wa" with the correct, "water fountain", encouraging him to use correct words. Fantastic mothering!!

[@libbyrudolph6302]

Trent and Allie, the two of you have no idea how many people you touch! You share your lives with us, and we feel we really know you. We are invested in you personally and are invested in your successes and failures. Keep doing what you are doing, and we will be here to support you.

[@katherinez9654]

I was sitting at our dinner table and telling my family about Leslie and how wonderful of a wife, mom and grandma she was. I told them about how quickly she was gone from ALS. I started to cry because she was such a wonderful person with such an infectious smile. We have all been blessed by your channel and being able to share with you a little piece of her. Thank you for sharing her with us all.

[@MrDocc4u]

Yeah I held the tears back till the moment I saw NoNu and Leo facing the water holding hands,all I could see was Lesley holding Leo's other hand,😥 always missed but not forgotten,✌️❤️❤️✌️

I felt the same way. In August of 2020 I lost my Dad and we traveled from Colorado to Ohio for three weeks for services and helping my stepmother. Then in August of 2023 we lost my stepmother. Then just last month my husband lost his younger brother and this past month we have been going through exactly the same feelings as you. It has been a week now since his services and my husband and I are trying to find some peace. It isn't easy and time only dilutes the pain, grief and heartfelt 💔 sadness. The person you have lost you really haven't lost they will always be with you...just in a different way. Our condolences 🙏 to you and your's and to anyone out there going through this thing called life.

[@mysteryachiever]

Yes, that shot of Nonu holding Leo’s hand in front of the water was, like, gut wrenching. But beautiful 🙏

[@barbaraad6136]

I thought Allie should take a picture of that tender moment and put it in a frame. Who knows...maybe she already has.

[@SFoureman]

Trent's love for Leslie beams from every pore of his soul when he talks about her. That young man loves hard and deep; and, he's not afraid to wear it on his sleeve. It's a beautiful thing! Nonno and Leo's moment watching the waves. Their moment.❤

I couldn’t help but cry when Trent was honoring Leslie and again watching the clip of Russel and Leo walking out to the water’s edge. It reminded me of the clip you showed in a video not long ago of Leslie, Russel and Leo walking out to the water’s edge. It felt full circle and that feeling of finality is crushingly sad to me. I feel for all of you and my thoughts and prayers are with you all as you heal and move forward. As always, thank you for choosing to share your life with us.

[@afroborilafemme]

I’m so glad you guys decided to take a vacation after the funeral. No matter how joyous the remembrance, loss is always hard, especially when it comes so unexpectedly, so it’s so important to be able to just relax and decompress. I can only imagine the many lives Leslie touched because her vibrant smile touched so many of ours in the short bits of her we got to experience through your videos.

[@NitrosMom074]

It brought a lot of emotion for me also as I loved your mom’s cheerfulness and how much she adored Leo. It made me sad to see your dad looking lost. I can tell how empty he feels as he tries to figure out how to navigate without his beloved Leslie. Perhaps he can find some comfort in a support group. I’m single (75) and if I were there, we’d have a good time together and I’d be his friend. So fun watching the excitement in Leo as he is experiencing new adventures like boat show and his own seat on the plane, it was fun for him. How is Trent’s grandparents doing? Would love an update on those two sweeties! Great video Allie! ❤️👏

[@Camey71073]

This is such a bittersweet trip. Hearts are with all of you. For you, Allie, and mostly, your dad. I can see the emotions he feels.

She'll always be in your hearts & memories. 😢 You're fortunate with your video life that you've captured so many dear family times. It was so sweet to see Leo voicing all his wishes & experiences on your Miami escape. Hopefully the return home to your world of ice & snow won't be too great of a shock. Blessings all!

I know as Leo gets older it gets easier to go places. However it sometime is almost like moving to take a child his age anywhere it's still like moving. They have things they like to take with them and other necessary things. But it does get better and as good as he is it will be soon.
