    Seeing Allie's dad smiling and interacting with Leo was so heartwarming. You can see the healing and comfort that is taking place. Continue talking about Leslie, she will always be with you in spirit. Also, this helps Leo to remember his Nonna.

    As a single grandfather of 4 who does not see his granddaughters every day, i have to say i am jealous of Russell getting to spend every day with Leo. This will surely aid in his healing. I can see the happiness on his face and that made me smile uncontrollably. So happy for you all.

Russell...I am so grateful you could join your daughter and family in this time of healing. All of the puzzle pieces are just falling into place. Leslie....your soul exists in these videos. You cannot deny that for a minute. This whole family just brings joy. And shows all of the rest of us how to handle tough situations. And I am grateful. I did not know how to handle it when I lost my mom. I wish I had someone to show me. Ya'll are just great in my opinion. Love you guys so much.

Allie you have so much of your moms peraonality. How beautiful.Watching Leo interacting with his grandpa was heart-warming. Trent you can see the love and respect you have for your father -in-law ,and he for you. Jennifer,Grayson and Brandon. I have a place of such appreciation in my heart.

I started crying watching Russell and Leo interacting there at the table. As a grandpa it's hard to explain what that time means and what little of it there is. Leo and Russell are so blessed. Sad this happened but their relationship will be forever changed by it. 😊

    This is probably my favourite episode to date. There was an unrushed calmness and peace about everyone. I'm sure God rushes around, following your dad, making sure your Mum's spirit, is always close. My Mum and Dad have both passed, but so much of them still lives on in me, that they are hardly gone at all. The tears will stop, I promise.

    Seeing Russell with Leo brought back a barrage of wonderful memories of growing up in a multigenerational household. At one point we had 4 generations under one roof. It was the best thing ever, and I often feel bad that my cousins didn't get to spend the time I did with my grandparents and even my Granny (great-grandmother). Leo will benefit from all this time with his dad. Sending lots of love to Russell and you both.

    I so enjoyed watching you guys today. Trents face when he heard all that snow fall off the roof was classic. It's so heartwarming to see you all have a good family time. Look forward to Mondays video.

    Wow, all that snow! Russell is nicely settled in and Trent looking as if he was in a "bar-fight" - LOL!🌻

    It's wonderful how Russell is fitting right in with all that goes on there and has adjusted so well. It will be very healing for all of you having him there. My favorite part about the snow is the silence as you mentioned Allie. Still, totally muted and silent, fresh clean air with the scent of a wood fire. That's living!

    Allie, Trent, and Russell still sending prayers of healing for you all. Family and close friends, togetherness, healing with each other and knowing that you all can feel Leslie’s presence smiling on all of you. I’m so glad that you all have each other during these difficult times. It’s good to see the genuine love, support and smiles you bring to each other.

    I am so glad you are enjoying your time with your dad and that you are now all talking about your mom. How wonderful! Talking about people who have died is the best way to keep them with us. Thanks so much for including all of us into all your family time. So nice to see your lovely meal time together!

    All I can say is be careful, hold one another close, remembering your mom and sharing those memories will help Leo remember her as well. All I could do today was gape at the snow and your tenacity. Bask in the aura of love that swirls around you. Thank you for a wonderful glimpse of your lives.
