    you are my comfort RUclipsr, and I honestly think it's because of how open and honest you are. life can be equally good and bad at the exact same moment. thank you for showing up vulnerably and genuinely in this space. you make the internet a good place to be 💛

    I just lost my grandfather the week before Thanksgiving and the way you described your grandfather reminded me of my Oupa so much. He was a garlic farmer and the best person in the world. It's crazy how much impact our grandparents have on our lives. Sending you lots of love this holiday season. We are the way their legacy lives on.

    Yes, if you could get Matt to talk about how he can just... complete goals, that would be amazing! only if he's comfortable with it, of course. I've never understood how people can do that, but I admire it so much

    I appreciate you speaking about trying new things and having to get over being bad at it or feeling cringey. I want that to be something I bring into the new year as well because I feel like I’m missing out on my own life.

    Hi Mary!! Have you considered getting some of your grandfathers honey encapsulated in jewelry? I know people do that with ashes and blood, I’m sure you could do it with honey! Then his honey would always be in the world with you

    I get this feeling so much. The loss of my grandmother (we lost her in 2016) has been really hitting me these past six months. She's the one who taught me how to crochet and just doing it helps me to feel so close to her. My older sister is going to have her first kid and it's been tough processing that he will never get a stocking made by my grandma- who made all of our stockings. When I have them, my kids will never have a stocking made by her. I completely get that feeling.

    I get so excited when I see a new video from you! I’m sending love to you and your family. I lost my grandfather the day after Christmas of my sophomore year of college (also 2017). Grief is so strange it didn’t hit me until two weeks after the funeral. It will still hit me randomly, especially when I hear him in my dad’s laugh. Cry when you need to Mary, we appreciate you being so open 🤍

  • @josiek.6238

    I’ve lost one of my grandmas in 2011. Not one day went by since then, where I haven’t thought of her and not one week, where I haven’t cried. She was such an amazing, beautiful woman that teached me so much and made me the woman I am today. I bet your grandpa was just as amazing as she was. There is a beautiful saying: Where there is deep grief there was great love. And grief is just love with nowhere to go. I don’t think your pain is ever going away fully but i’m a firm believer that it isn’t supposed to. He lives on in your thoughts, your tears and smiles when thinking about him. You are his greatest legacy. ♥️

    Random but is Matt an Aries? When you described his goals it reminded me of a convo I had the other day with my friend. The Aries men in our lives always get things done relatively quickly and we are jealous of it lol like they just decide to do something and… then they just do it. I tend to overthink everything and procrastinate. I’m a sag. Anyway, love you and your content Mary. Keep being you and happy holidays!! 😊❤ ps Fergus is getting so big omg

    Mary, I felt your pain when you spoke about your grandfather. Grief is something I personally also struggle with.
    I know you have history with religion and by no means am I trying to convert you or convince you to do anything. I just hope you can find some comfort knowing that God promises us we can see our loved ones again. (Acts 24:15) They’re not gone forever.

    • @MarySkinner
      @MarySkinner  8 месяцев назад +1

      The only reason I can’t ship to Canada currently is because of the high shipping costs - over $30 per item. I wasn’t comfortable placing that cost on the consumer and unfortunately there are no other options right now. I sincerely hope in the future there’s a way to do it with minimal cost to the customer 🤍
