Much love,
Stef and the gang x
I haven’t watched you guys in a couple of years, I kind of fell off the RUclips wagon. This is the first video I saw of yours on return. Beautiful, but very sad. Im so sorry for your loss. Thank you for always remaining true to yourself.
How come this family has only under 260K. The filmography and the story telling is beyond amazing on this channel. It is so wholesome and I love it!
Hi Stef and Hannah 👋
I've been watching since Grayson was born but am never usually a commenter! I'm a primary school teacher and recently read a story called 'The Invisible String' to my class. It was so lovely and talks about how even if we aren't physically with somebody we are still connected by an 'invisible string'. Just thought it might be a nice way of explaining to the boys that even though their Grandad has passed they are still connected! Just thought I would mention it 🥰
To this day i can't believe we're not watching these little movies in theaters but on youtube. The gift you have is incredible, thank you for letting us in on your life because it is a truly beautiful journey🤍
The sadness and the joy all intertwined is so heartbreakingly beautiful. You really have a gift. Thanks for sharing it.
That scene with the boys dancing.. Jesus we watched little chubby Squeeky G be born and now look at him 🥺 he’s like a full on big kid now :( x
It took me 6 years to be able to drive down the road on which my dad used to live before he passed away from a massive heart attack. We have to do things in our own time, when we are ready.
I'm so sorry to read this, sending you all my love and healing💜
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for your kind words 🥰🤍
The sad bit was incredibly sad and I felt it in my soul.
In some ways Stef your Dad was documenting his memories just as you do. How many vloggers take a shot of the menu! Reliving a memory is a beautiful thing. Well done on facing the darkness head on. Glad you are feeling a bit lighter after it.
Love this
the boys dancing and grayson’s face changing colours… so beautiful
Thank u so much for this video. Something that we should remember. All of us. People don't go anywhere after death. Their essence will always be there with us. In moments. Every moment that we appreciate. It's so beautiful. So important. Thank u so much.
On a deep level, you comforted me, Stef. I lost my dad last year.He wasn’t ready, so wasn’t I, and I had to take on where he left off with my mother. Caring for her was the hardest. He was with me, comforting me in those initial days. Now he’s just around, sometimes I hear him chatter, sometimes just move about, smile, work, sometimes he’s the crow which eats a biscuit from my hand each day.
Holding on to things is about loss ..
Agree that the spirit of someone lives on within you but the clarity of them fades with time. My Father passed away 41 years ago when i was a teenager. Good to see you back always, from a Brit in bloody freezing Toronto.
The cinematography is just amazing 🙌
Your pal Tom made this episode wonderful 💙 its the little joys in life as Tom says 💙
My brother and I cleared out my late mother's house last year and she too threw NOTHING away...so know that one!!!! I also believe that she lives on in us....beautiful film!! 🙂
Lovely to catch up as always. Lovely necklace Hannah. Stef, I loved the way you articulated the feeling of losing a parent and how we make peace with it. I think the last couple of years have made many of us crave for a simpler life.
You make the most beautiful videos/ short films of your family. I cry and laugh during each one… I wish I could document my family so eloquently. ❤️ So true about losing people, they’re always there.
Watching the boys dance brought a little piece of joy into my day 💞
This was truly so very beautiful. In May of 2015, my amazing dad was diagnosed with Late Onset Dementia. Sadly, on July 27, 2015, he took his own life. He found his peace that day. I took care of my beautiful mom for almost 2 years and on Feb. 25, 2017, she dies at home surrounded by all of her kids, sister and grandkids. She was now with my dad, again. My parents were the best...my childhood and adulthood has been such a beautiful gift, because of them. I see and feel my mom and dad around me, every single day. The wind blowing against my face. A male and female Cardinal in the tree. A night sky full of stars. I take each of those in so deeply. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us and your amazing videos, which are like watching a short film. Hugs to you all ❤
One of my favourites of all time! Been watching your videos since Grayson was born and they just keep getting better and better. Beautifully shot Stef!
It has been years, and your videos bring me so much joy. thanks guys.
Oh, and I forgot to say that this video is absolutely beautiful. Stef, you are so talented. I can see you directing films ('cool' arty ones at cinemas that you can have a glass of wine in) :)
I really needed this video this morning, and your advice on loosing a parent. I lost my Mom 5 months ago, and it’s been so very hard. Love to you, and your family. I have been following your family for years, the boys are so big too. I also loved the song that was playing when they were dancing. Beautiful video. Joy.
Well, I started crying when I pressed play.
As always a beautiful vlog. xxx
I love that message about how you think about your dad
My grandmother also collects menus from restaurants and holidays she’s been on, she has a folder of them. Not sure when she reads them but it’s funny to hear your dad did the same! Put such a smile on my face!
I deeply relate to what you’ve shared about losing someone, and I think Mary Elisabeth Frye did too when she wrote:
“Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.”
thanks for the video!
I knew exactly when you arrived at his house where you were before you said and I was right with you. 3 years ago I was…and you are right he is always with you. Remember grief is a ball in a box. Your family is so beautiful and your videos are such a joy ❤️
God I just love you guys
Hi .. so happy to see you both ..this was lovely.. Stef, I had to do the same 3 yrs ago when my Mum died ... everything you said about that experience made sense and was strangely comforting 😊... great to have you back ! Love Pauline x
This is exactly what I needed today, a beautifully cinematic film with a bit of humor talking about the hard stuff. Thank you ❤️
The cinematography is spectacular, beautifully done
What a lovely vlog. Thank you for sharing the experience of going to do your dads house. The shot of you Stef sat on the chair, was framed so beautifully. X
So well said 👌❤️❤️ I've lost both Mum and Dad and I feel their presence everywhere, everyday..
This was beautiful..well all your films are beautiful...but this was something special. So happy ya'll are back!
I paused at 12:11 listening to Stef's beautiful reframe of presence in loss and I just wanted to say Thank you, Stef... and Hannah too because you've always held your own loss in a very delicate way that always felt very human to me. I always end up on your videos when I need them whether or not the tone or mood is directly related to me and I think that's what connection really is. You find what you need when you need it. Your dad and my dad (and everything in-between) brought us to this point where I'm typing this too long comment... Anyway, thanks. xx
I had missed these cats so much!!! Welcome back you lovely rascals.
Okay, so this might be my favourite thing you've ever done. Thank you for sharing it
It leaves always a nice, comfortable feeling watching your videos! Thank you so much for that!
Ummmm dude! That video made me cry and laugh, but mostly cry! The boys dancing was so beautiful. You and your sister at your dad's... far out. My mum died two years ago and I do agree with you that she isn't really gone. It is very hard though. I had to go through my sister's things when she died in 2012. I put it off for six months. I was so glad when it was over though. Sending hugs.
Made my morning! Love to all of you- I think we're all feeling a little directionless with the world the way it is right now. We're all in this shit show together :')
Thankyou for sharing this. So meaningful. Currently grieving the loss of my nan who was like a mum to me. Your "live, laugh, love" speech really resonated with me. She will always be a part of me, in the same way your dad is a part of you ❤️
great to see you all in a vlog, and memories of Grandad, love these vlogs like the old days. miss you all, x
I am soooo happy you’re podcasting again!!!
Beautifully done, taking on such an emotional task can be very daunting, but you did it. I hope the time with your sister will become a cherished memory that brings laughter and smiles. Much love to your family, and thank you for another heartfelt video. Your dad will always be with you. ❤️
I loved everything about this! How beautifully sadness and joy can coexist. And seriously, why not live on a boat!? That would definitely be a whole vibe. Here for it!! xx love from South Africa
You guys are cool, yea ! come back soon !
Dear human that's reading this, we may not know each others but I wish you all the best in life!✨
Your videos always reduce me to tears, & I mean that in the nicest possible way if you understand me lol! It was lovely what you were saying about your dad Stef, about him not being around anymore in a physical sense, but in a spiritual way, I’ve just lost my brother, I Will remember your words when I’m thinking about him x
Lol I cracked up at the 'I'm surprised he even had a bin'
You are absolutely right. Everything is a game. A con. It's all driven by capitalism. We are encouraged to be part of the game by credit scores, ownership of certain things. And you will note that the content creators that live lux and encourage the acquisition of luxury items and homes are the ones who are being paid the most as content creators.
I refuse to engage with any of it. Lux items are still things. They are just expensive things. I have enough stuff!
Haha “dripping in cool” 😂
Pure art. Love the edit. Worth waiting for such great content. Thankyou for sharing about your dad and your experience. My parents aren’t dead yet but that weight sits on my shoulders now today.
I used to watch your channel a lot and I remember your dad. He seemed really lovely. I just thought of ya'll today and so I thought I would check-in. My dad passed away last year too which was really tough. It's so funny because I was watching "About Time" and the dad dies in that film as well and I was crying like a baby and now I'm here, healing with ya. God has been really instrumental in my healing. Knowing that I have a loving Father at all times. Of course, I still miss my biological dad. I'll be walking down a corridor and think, "Man. I miss him" but yeah, he's also my motivation to better because he used to say, "whatever you're doing, do it well". So doing things wholeheartedly is my way of remembering my dad and "bringing him to life again". Happy healing (for the vast spectrum of days that you will go through). :)
Stef, you made my soul feel calmer after this video - thank you
So much easier to deal with death by always knowing the person is always with you in your memories.
I loved the opening edit, the way the bag came along and blocked out some of The Michalaks title and the airport noises timed with the title. The little details of your videos are just so perfect
Really enjoying this video!! Great mix of things. can’t believe how much the kids have grown! I feel the same about losing a loved one, they are here with us still ❤️
Beautiful, as always.
God I missed this!! such a beautiful video ♥️
The music, the cinematography, the emotion - this was great, and you two are definitely cool. Your vlogs have such a rare quality to them.
Wow, this was beautiful. The camera work accomplished a sense of nostalgia really reflective of the feelings. Well done
Getting Wes Anderson vibes from this…beautifully done!
Miss seeing you guys every week. Grayson is getting so tall!!! Compared to me you’re very cool. Sending love and hugs from Las Vegas.
So beautiful!
Omg, Stef, your hair looks amazing! That's so weird to say! But seriously, I'm happy for you
Loved this vlog! …and I actually think that you two are one of the coolest people around! 😀
Awesome! Your vlogs/little films make me very happy 🙃
This is my favourite video out of all you’ve ever made ❤️
Loved loved loved the vlog. The beauty is captured so well. Thanks guys x
Your memories are on tape (and RUclips), his were in a box in the form of a menu or a ticket. Same. ❤️
I feel similarly. My dad was also a violinist. When I play off his parts I have to decide whether to use his penciled in fingerings or not. It's a whole discussion.
This made me smile ❤️
This is phenomenal!!
Love you guys! Everything you said in the chat at the end resonates so much.
I sold the house and left everything to start a new life in a tiny house. The only problem was that I brought myself with me 😂 Hannah, I am finding yoga and meditation so helpful too.
You're videos are always very nice to watch , love the edit
Beautifully done
I cried and I laughed watching this... I call that a win 😂
🌱
Life sometimes feels like a game with diminishing returns…
I really enjoyed this video Stef!
Love the Video and the necklace!! :)
So good ♥️
missed you guys!
Great ❤️
Loved this one xx
Love you guys x but please allow subtitles, or captions, I really rely on them xxx
Your vlog made my day.
yay
♥️
Hannah! Can you please tell me with what camera exactly you’re filming your pieces? I so like your footage and I’m in the process of buying a new camera… so… all tips welcome! Thank you 🙏🏻💙
Stef my dad is the exact same way 😂 He's not passed but I recently helped him move house and he had over 5 boxes filled to the brim just exclusively for old love letters from ex girlfriends and receipts from every fuckn coffee he's ever bought... drove me mad 😂😂
Just love yr vlogs xx
