My brother is a male nurse in that PICU and was on Rivs care team! Bless you all and thank you for your continued support of the work Dell Children's does
I can understand how hard it is to go to a hospital that did so much to try and save our babies. It's been 18 years and I still can't bring myself to go to the same hospital where my daughter passed away at. She will be forever 2 months. Thank you for everything you and your family do.
12:09 Thanks we were at Dell Children's Hospital over Christmas a few yrs ago. Actually we got out on Christmas. We declined gifts because we knew we were going home. Thanks for all you do.
Mavy cracks me up...I just love watching him and his wild little tells...LOL...I had to watch this video again because it makes me smile...Amber, I love what y'all do to help out the children...I'm glad you're doing what you need to do for you and your family...and putting God first...that's the BEST...Love Hugs Happiness and Prayers...💗😇🙏🏻
God bless all those who worked on River, trying so desperately to save him and in the end helped him save other lives through donating his organs to others. What a selfless act of courage and mercy! God bless his family so that they know how many they helped and saved and acknowledge their extreme act of courage, and love for others! Truly American Heroes!
Amber I think it's amazing that you give back at the hospital it's amazing that you show other families Joy in a time where they're going through terrible times.
May God continue to strengthen all of you as a family. Only He has given you the ability to share your deepest pain and deepest joys. Our granddaughter had infantile spasms which is both deadly or debilitating. While she suffers some physical repercussions from them but we are blessed to have her. I know your strength can only be supernatural and your story was such an odd source of strength during our own pain. I pray all the haters are forever removed from your memories and know overwhelmingly we love and care for your beautiful family. None of you failed any of us. ❤❤❤❤❤
While you have certainly been missed, Amber, I'm so glad you've taken this time for yourself, your family, your book, etc. Thanks for the update on the Dell Children's program. I know it has to be hard, but I love how you've taken all of that pain and funneled it to something helpful for others. Thanks for our raw vulnerability in telling that story. Speaking of stories, love listening to Maverick create his. That kid is a hoot! Until next time, thanks!
It's so hard Amber. . I am dealing with my own health issue right now and have surgery in 2 weeks. I am aware and feel all the emotions of being scared, frustrated, hopeful etc and I always think how these little kiddos don't truly get it they are just fighting for life. It is heartbreaking. I love donated here locally every year just hoping to bring one smile. As I mentioned below it is nice to see your glee back in your and Grangers eyes, it continues to give me hope as I continue my grief journey with my dada. Don't ever apologize for taking you time, You can't get that back and we will be waiting. Much Love Kelly
Just started ‘Like a River’ today as my last read of 2024. So ironic this pops in my subscription feed as well today. Sending lots of love to you all ❤
Thank you Amber for continuing to help others and bring good from something so sad and painful. Little River's memory continues to live on though everything you do for others. May God continue to bless you and your family.❤
Oh, Amber God bless your sweet spirit! Please don't ever apologize, and you have not failed anyone. You've been doing exactly what is the most important. I have the book, 'Like a River' and cried as you talked about walking those halls again. As a mom, I can't imagine your pain. Praise God for His Peace Which Passes All Understanding. Thank you for sharing, and caring for others. You are one awesome lady. Hugs ❤
The Foundation is going to be incredible. The events Im sure that you have been planning or more accurately have dreamed about will be so amazing. I can't wait to go to one and donate and support you all.
Amber, thank you for all you do for those kids in the hospital that River was in! Really enjoyed your video. Granger, I agree with you that Maverick needs his own podcast! Looks like you and Lincoln were having fun out there. Love y'all and God Bless!❤️
Awesome light’s to have at the deer lease 🦌 thanks for sharing Granger 🤍 God bless you Amber for making all the children and their families, bringing joy to their lives ! ♥️🎄🎅💚✨🙏🦋
Dang! We were at the Monday night game...would have loved to meet up with y'all. It was a great night in Green Bay! Couldn't have asked for better weather late December in Wisconsin and a WIN. Love your channel. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas! Blessings for the new year XO
I agree with you about the world being broken. I live alone. I am a widow. I do have family but they dont live in the US as I do. There for I don’t open any gifts at Christmas. I am not envious in any way that I have nothing to open. I learned at an early age, I will get nothing & like it. I do however give to others, mostly anonymously. I love that more than anything.
5:52 Mavy sounds like an adult, until he opens his backback ...marshmallows, ✔️proof he is still 3. Yep..throwup here, here, here. Yep, 3. Love Lincoln singing!!! Can't wait to see Daddy & Linc at the Packers game. Amber, you've poured your head & heart into this book. Enjoy your family time!!! ❤RiverKellyFoundation Dell Hospital season of giving. TY for doing this every year, since River joined Jesus where heaven got a lot faster & brighter. Trust God's plan
Hahaha. Mav is hilarious. Did he say Ope? He needs to come up to Wisconsin if he’s gonna talk like that. 😂 Amber, don’t apologize for not showing up on here. You’re pouring into what’s filling your soul in this season.
Love you Amber and family and all that you do in memory of sweet River!!! I was with my best girlfriend when we were kids when she was killed. It was an accident along a road. It was in 1957 and to this day whenever I go down that road I still think of her, and always will. You will always think of River at that hospital Amber, but also think of all the good and happiness you bring, if only for a short time. But some will be remembered for a long time as well!! Happy New Year!!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Nice shot old man!🤣 Tell Mav , if he doesn't behave like me I had to wear a harness "Pink" Tell him there's always the harness🤭 🤗. Im so proud of you Amber🐦✝️. YEE YEE 💗. JO JO IN VT 💞☃️
Amber you are absolutely 💯 % absolutely amazing person love 💝 your family and god bless love 💝 from Ohio Irene and god bless Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈 2025 Maverick is a blessing to the Smith family love 💝 from Ohio Irene and god bless you all may god be with all the families in that hospital 🏥 Granger Amber London, Lincoln River, and Maverick you are all in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞💞💞💞
since mav is somewhat into monster trucks and crazy stuff like that, you guys should take the family to supercross at the cowboys stadium next year, supercross is dirt bikes racing on dirt tracks with peaky jumps, a section called whoops which the simplest way i can describe them is big bumps squeezed together for riders to skim over the top when built right, or jump them, unfortunately, there’s only 9 whoops, and they are mainly jumpers. But, supercross/motocross has me a bigger fan of a sport than i was with baseball, i’m going to the races when i can, watching the videos, buying the merch, as very much emotionally invested. There’s two stars of the sport in two different classes, in 450’s, it’s 21(i think) year old australian jett lawrence who is/will be the next big thing, with this crazy smooth style. In 250s, it’s haiden deegan, all american kid, from temecula, ca, his dad is a legend in his own right, and haiden likes to talk trash and has a much more aggressive style. The 250s have two coasts, i think arlington is east coast.

Maverick is amazing ❤

The closer our relationship with Christ is… the more we become sensitive to the injustice! of this fallen world…🙏

There is no where in this world like Lambough field and the Green Bay Packers

How do you drown out the wind in your filming?
