I'm so sorry to hear that. But I genuinely want to hope and pray the best for you. I'm sure life has been/is so hard for you but keep pushing through and you'll find the light out of the dark times. Stay safe
I definitely agree and i'm glad he is able to open up! It took me a long time to let my feelings out and i ended up going to counseling due to having anxiety and depression but im glad i did because now i am able to talk about how im feeling now rather then keep everything inside which is not good for your body or health at all.
My father too passed away on December 2013 when i was just 13yrs old. 7 years passed away still its soo painful to remember. I miss him a lot and hoping that one day meet him in heaven for sure. Bro i appreciate you for taking the step to talk about this. May Jesus bless you and help you to overcome the past situations.
My uncle passed from the same condition as your dad Sam. It was horrible to watch and ALS is a cruel disease. I was only 12 when he passed (14 now). It’s painful but we love you so much 🥺🤍
One of my family members has ALS. I know the pain. I’m so sorry Sam. He was a great man, even though not many of us know him. Thank you for trusting us
omg i cried listening to everything sam said I’m so glad a have a dad, every who has a dad pls spend as much time with them as possible, give them hugs before it’s so to late. Look at Sam I’m crying for him. 🥺
Sam thank you so much for sharing this with us and we are always there for you ❤ Wherever your dad will be he will be proud that how you have become such a gentleman 😊 Who agrees 👇
Sam is such a strong and sweet person for so many reasons. Like he lost his dad at the age of 10, and i can't imagine losing mine even after 20 years from now. And he explained just so that if one of us going through can feel like he/she is not lonely.
"10 year old me"... He went through sooo much, its ok to be 19, 29, 39, 49 (and so on) you and still feel. Its ok to cry. I was a nurse, I know what you went through and Im so sorry. Cheers to the amazing man you are, and to a bright beautiful future!! Thank you for sharing Sam & hugs to you.
Lost my dad to cancer back in 1997. I was 13. Was definitely the hardest thing going through that. Family pulling together and very good friends help a lot. Condolences to everyone that has gone through something like this or is currently. Hang in there. Time heals the pain
My mom is a single mom and I’ve grown up without a father figure my whole life. She is the most wonderful person in my life and I am so grateful for her. I feel your pain! He is in a better place now. ❤️❤️
Even though my dad didn’t pass away and he’s in prison for a long time, I get married in a little over a month and it’s just making me sadder the closer it gets because my dad won’t be here for the biggest parts of my life. Thank you for posting this, I know it must have been hard. We love you guys so much!!!!♥️
@@miaballot3738 my dad has bipolar schizophrenia and got into a bad run with drugs while being an alcoholic and not taking his meds. Turned into a really bad lifetime addiction for him and now he is serving his sentence. It’s super sad I know, but in a way I’m thankful he is in there or maybe it would’ve kept happening for the rest of my life. I just hope he stays good for the rest of my life or his!
@Georgia B he is in for 7 years, he has 3 left to go.! I know he is. I’m thankful we get to talk on the phone once a week, still isn’t close to the same but it’s amazing to hear his voice and how good he is doing😌
My friend's dad had the same thing, and he had to go through a very tough time when his dad passed away.. it is very nice of you to open up, I love you Sam
Thank you for telling your story. I lost my dad when I was four to a brain tumor and I am currently going through a very painful breakup. So, this was exactly what I needed at the time. Crazy how God works. Thank you again Sam.
Sam is so brave. If I ever lost one of my parents, I couldn’t handle it. Also, he making a video about it, and talking to the public about what happened. Jessica really found a good man❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Sam! My brother has been battling a life-threatening disease for the last few years and it is been extremely hard on me and my family. Trying to just do life and do your best acting like everything is okay when this pain and anxiety is always hanging over your head is something I really struggle with. Thank you for letting us know you better! We love you, Sam! ❤️❤️
Sam I have never seen a man as cheerful. Happy and loving as you well I might have but you continued with your dreams.The jam fam will always support you💕 and may his soul Rest In Peace. I know where he is,he is so proud of a son like you
if this was a try not to cry challange i would of failed badly im so sorry you had to go through all that at a young age, my uncle died from the same condition your dad had
Sam, it takes a lot of courage to talk openly about your experience with your Dad passing at such an early age. You have such a big heart snd I’m sure this will touch all who see this!! Love and many blessing to you. Don’t ever stop being YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️
U really touched me and reminded me of my grandmother she died in her sleep and in the morning she was walking she was happy and at 4 she past away thank you Sam u thought me to be strong 😇
The way you were describing how your dad progressively got worse reminded me of my grandma. She died nine days after my 15th birthday this year, it was the hardest time of my life, trust me Sam, you are not alone, I am literally balling my eyes out right now when I am listening to you describing this, it reminds me so much of the horrible situation that my grandma was in. She had 5 different types of cancer, and the cancer got to her heart and it made her heart stop. The doctors said that she would only have 2-3 years to live and she survived for 5 years. I love you so much Sam❤️ And remember, you and Jess are ALWAYS in my prayers 🙏
I lost my grandad about a month ago to cancer I know how you feel Sam but God gave me the strength to get through it and I feel stronger now it was a life lesson that no one lives forever it’s just a part of life and I just see it as a bump in the life rollercoaster the jamfam and I are with you it takes some courage to come out and talk about it thank you god for giving us strength 🙏
I am do sorry for your lose. My hopes and prayers go out for you. I know it’s been nine years but I can relate to this so much. My dad passed away when I was 2 and I know how it is growing up without a father. I love you guys so much and the jamfam as a whole. 🙏 We are all here to support you and will always be here for you guys. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your dad’s loss we’re here to support you you’re never going to be alone you’ll always have us and we always have your back. We love you Sam and Jess ❤️💙
Sam, I started tearing up!!😢 I'm sorry that happened to you at such a young age!!! That must have been hard! I know my parents mean everything to me...but losing my dad, that would be tough!! I'm sorry that happened to you!! We love you Sam!!!!!! ❤❤❤
@@eleonorarizzo5247 I'm so sorry buddy ...he will always love you and will be the greatest man you have ever known in your life .. He might not be there with you in person.. But I promise he will always love you ❤🥺
Thanks for being open, vulnerable, and letting us into your life. ALS is a very sad and difficult disease, and process for anyone to go through. Sam, you are a great man, and I'm sure your dad would be so proud of you!
I watched my dad die when I was 14 from lung cancer. I’m so sorry you have had to deal with this Sam. You can do this and you have all of us here to support you ❤️ even with time it’s still painful, mine was 4 years ago and I still struggle. Your so strong to talk about this. We are all here for you and you are so lucky to have Jess, I’m sure she is such a brilliant support ❤️❤️❤️
You're so authentic. It's so hard to talk about this stuff and i feel like in a way it's a release for u ❤ thank you for sharing, we love u. There is always going to be a scar inside u from this. Honor that scar. Cherish it. You are so so so so loved. You're very mature for your age and ik it feels uve had to grow up quickly but u have so much to share to this world 🌎 and im so grateful to see this aspect of u, it's truly beautiful and authentic
Sam, you have so much courage and strength for being willing to be so vulnerable with us about your dad and the emotional struggles that his loss have caused for you and your family. You absolutely will help someone else (or multiple people) dealing with something similar or the same scenario. He will always be with you and I have no doubt he is so proud of the wonderful man that you are! You are in my thoughts and prayers! 🙏🏻♥️
My father passed away in December of 2016. I hop eyou know how many people are loving you right now Sam. My prayers are going out to you. Losing someone, especially a role model/father, is the worst thing anyone could go through. Thanks for making this video Sam.
You are amazing. And your dad is so proud of you. My grandma passed away the same day 5 years ago of Ovarian Cancer. And I miss her so very much. But now she is in a better place and she made such an impact on other peoples lives. Lots of love ❤
So proud of you Sam, not growing up with a father figure isn’t amazing, you grew up and you dealt with it, you grew into a great gentlemen, God helped you through it, he is watching over you, he’s proud of you♥️
My heart goes out to you. My kids were 12, 6, and 4 when their dad died. Circumstances were much different as he died from a drug overdose however as a young child the reason doesn't matter. The loss of life does. School was difficult as the other kids would ask questions and at times demand answers when my kids didn't want to give answers. All they wanted was to be able to make that Father's Day card and give it to their dad, or see their dad at their baseball game. No matter what male role model they had, he never took their dad's place. That void was still there. Keep sharing your story. It does help. It let's these kids know they didn't do anything to cause the death as it has happened to others as well. I'm sure the light that shines in you is that burning light that your mother would remind you you have to share your dad's memory and life with! Many prayers go out to you as you will one day be a father and will be able to pass along 9 years of memories with your kids!
Sam we all love you so much❤️ my dad passed away September of that same year, when I was five,on my 10th day of kindergarten, I kind of get it. It’s perfectly fine to cry or say that it sucks, because it does! Even now nine years later I have my days where I just miss my dad. But write things down! Write what you remember, and things you miss, and things you loved! He’ll always be there, and if you look at it this way you have your very own guardian angel that is so proud of you! 💕 I needed this today, I cried almost the entire time, and it gives me comfort that someone else gets it
I lost my aunt back in september. She was one of the few people I felt I could count on. Knowing that someone else has experienced loss even greater than mine but has gone on to live a crazy influential life gives me so much hope for my future. Thank you sam for sharing this part of you with us, the jam fam.
Sam, if you're reading this Thank you so much for sharing this! It certainly takes so much of courage to do so and I just want to say that certain things in life a lot of us (including my self) take for granted. It's amazing how brave your mother is to be able to raise a child single handedly so well. I know your channel is mostly for entertainment and fun times but I've learnt so much from you about the importance of respecting women. Thanks for being a great role model, especially for the young audience. Wishing you and jess well my friend ❤
What I really appreciate in a personality of a RUclipsr or a creator that shares their life with the internet is when they actually don’t try to hide something important that has happened and many people know about. Instead, they open up theirselves to their fans and talk to them like they are family. I’m not saying this because I feel bad for you, but because this feeling of honesty and trust makes me feel so happy and proud, if that makes sense to anyone. I lost my Grandma many years ago, and she was like my second mom. She was always taking care of me when my parents couldn’t, and since I was only six when she passed away, I was crying non stop for more than a year. I have now got used to that and realized that this is how life works. And, most importantly I’ve become the strong person I am today. Thank you for reminding me that!❤️✨
I am so grateful for brave people like you and others to speak up (in the comments as well). It's obviously hard to be sharing a sad story without having flashbacks of the though memories. I lost my grandmother like 2 years ago and it was really hard for me because I was there when the message came trough that she passed away. It was hard to believe but i know she's always look down at me. I really do wish everyone is doing great, and if not i am here to set you a reminder that you are worth it and that you have loved ones around you, always. I am proud of him to trusting us with his story. Thank you!
U r so strong. My mom passed when I was 3, My dad remarried to an abusive woman. My older brother and I were abused for 3 years and my brother had to take care of me. We both got physically and emotionally abused (drugged, starved, and beaten) I wouldn’t be alive without him. ❤️ So Sam u r not alone in this fight. Stay strong. (And also everyone reading this❤️)
My mom passed on the 29th of October 2020. Something that never heals just feels less painful and more sad as time goes on. But i made peace with it. Life goes on i guess💔
I've never lost a family member that I was close to, so I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what u and many other people went/r going thru...but I still want to say that I'm so proud of u, and even tho I didn't know ur dad, I KNOW FOR A FACT that he would also be SO PROUD OF U!!! STAY STRONG SAM...WE LOVE U SO MUCH
i’m so sorry. i lost my grandmother from ALS when i was in the second grade. it was super hard for my whole family and we haven’t been the same since. i still miss her so much and i think about her all the time. it’s so awful to watch someone your so close to be in so much pain and know you can’t do anything about it. i can’t imagine how hard it would have been for you to lose your dad at such a young age. again, i’m so sorry and you are so brave to open up about what happened to you.
Empathy is a really important part of community. It’s okay for people to feel bad for you! It shows they care for you. ALS is a really terrible disease, and seeing your dad go through that had to have been incredibly hard. I’m really sorry that happen to you and your family. I’m sure your dad loved you so much, and would be really proud of you.
Soo much respect for you!! Is it weird that I am crying during listening. In my family only my grandfather is dead, but I don’t mind about him. Long story, but he almost killed my grandmother/ his wife. That was also hard for me and nobody understand. Someday I hope that I could look back positive a my past...❤️❤️
Im so sorry youve had to go through this i lost my mum from Cancer when i was 8 its truly devastating to watch your loved one die from something like this thank you for sharing about this i felt less alone with still dealing with the trauma of losing her. Your dad would be so proud of you and how far youve come 🤎
The great young man that you've become and what you've achieved is really a testament to not only your own character but also the lasting impression your dad left on you and the great work he did instilling good values upon you in the short time he had raising you, and also the great work your mom did raising you on her own after becoming a widow, having to stay strong in the midst of grief and having to provide for you and continue teaching you how to be a good person and a man. Your Dad is looking down on you very proudly!
My cousins lost their mom recently and their in their 20s. It’s so difficult for them to realize especially since two of them are getting engaged without their mom :(
I lost both my grandparents 3 years ago within 5 months of each other one because of cancer and the other from Parkinson’s and watching them loose their independence loose their mobility and become bed ridden was the hardest thing to watch. Coming home from school everyday it would feel so empty so quite in the house after losing them. I was 14 when the passed away and 12 when there health started to decline. We had so many hospital visits the hospital stated to feel like home since we would be there everyday for months on end. I’m 17 now and I’m doing much better. It’s not easy but eventually you start to feel a lot better. Love to Sam for powering through at such a young age and to anyone else who is or went through the same thing ❤️
Haven't seen my dad in 7 months because of cancer and can't go to visit him because I can't travel to hospital its heart breaking😓🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️ I know how u feel
I feel blessed to have a dad after watching this. If anyone who thinks that their parents are mean just know they want the best for you, dont hurt them ever.
My uncle died last year from the same disease and it's so horrible watching someone you love slowly fade away. I'm so sorry this happened to you and I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share ❤
Sam your so brave and an absolute inspiration. Everyone is so proud of you and i know if your dad was here he would be so happy. I will always be part of the JAMFAM forever
i went threw something like this my mom passed away when i was 7 from cancer( not exactly alike) but i know how it feels to lose a family member at a young age. and for me i don’t really have an memories from when she wasn’t sick because even when i would remember memories they were only when she was sick but you always have to remember god does things for a reason and my dad always told me “ mom did everything she needed to that takes most people 80 years+ to accomplish but it took my mom around 35 years so she did everything god needed her to” . just honestly idk if u feel the same way but when i see people with moms and having a mom when there still around 40 it hurts but you have to remember there are people who love you💙this video just really touched my heart!💙
I love that you are so open my grandma on my mother's side is sick at one point she couldn't talk now she is kinda getting better but it's in her brain and she has two very bad illnesses I guess you can call them and its very hard for everyone and even if it's not the same as your story I still kinda fell it also in 2020 a lot of family members passed and it was just hard but what I am trying to say is THANK YOU for sharing bc it made me fell that there are people who have it harder and showed me that I should be grateful for both of my parents still being alive the fast that at the moment my grandma is ok for her condition and age! Love you and again thank you so much❣️❣️❣️❣️ (Sorry if there are any mistakes English is my second language and I am 12)
My mom and dad got a divorce when I was around 5 or 6, he was on drugs and he did not treat my mom right. and looking back on it now I can see that God has had an amazing plan from the very beginning. God knows how things will end and I believe that my dad not being there for me ever has actually helped me, I know that sounds strange but I have gotten closer to God because of the stuff that has happened in my past. I believe that God knew/knows what he is doing and he has a reason for every bad thing in our life. Most of the time the bad things will bring us closer to God and make us trust in him more. -God bless (Sorry for bad punctuation and for bad grammar)
I am so sorry Sam. I lost someone when I was 16 so I know how it feels. I am 20 right now and I turn 21 in a week and a half. So it was 5 years ago. I totally know how you would feel by now. I love your videos. Your videos are so uplifting and I love it. Look on the bright side, you have a great wife and she will take care of you.
Lost my grandpa a few days ago to cancer. I´m only 14 and he was one of the most important peoples in my life. I didnt saw him scince christmas because og covid and then only one last time three days before he died. It´s very hard for me. Feel with you Sam. R.I.P Opa
i lost my gpa too in 2016. he was one of the most important people in my life. he passed from a heart attack/heart failure. he lived thousands of miles away from me so i had to say good bye through ft. he told everyone he was gonna take a nap and never woke up. he fought 2 years with heart failure
Thank you for sharing this part of your life, Sam. ❤️ I really appreciate when RUclipsrs make “real life” videos like this, because it normalizes what it’s like to be human, even if you’re also a social media influencer. My husband, Eldon’s, Dad died of testicular cancer when my husband was 3 1/2 years old. His dad was exposed to Agent Orange during Army boot camp during the Vietnam War 🥺 Eldon’s mom raised him and his older and younger sisters on her own. Eldon talks a lot about missing his dad and not having a lot of fun memories with him - only from when he was very sick in the last few months before he died (which was also at home). Regarding your Dad, Sam, I’m sure he was with you in spirit at your wedding at Yosemite, and that he will be with you at your 2nd wedding celebration in 2 weeks. In fact, I bet your dad is with you in spirit every day. He’s at least always been watching over you from Heaven. ❤️ One question I have for you: Did you know for a while that your Dad was going to pass before he did? Or was his passing sudden?
Thanks Sam for your message, it really means a lot. I lost my dad when I was young too, and for you to open up and see how you carried yourself from the day it happened until now👏🏽. Thank you for your message bro. God bless you and your loved ones♥️

U really touched me and reminded me of my grandmother she died in her sleep and in the morning she was walking she was happy and at 4 she past away thank you Sam u thought me to be strong 😇
Aww everybody’s opening up about things in their life i like how they trust us enough to say these things
So sorry Sam. JamFam is here for u. We love u so much Sam. You are so strong I can't even imagine if my dad passed what I would do ❤️❤️
The way you were describing how your dad progressively got worse reminded me of my grandma. She died nine days after my 15th birthday this year, it was the hardest time of my life, trust me Sam, you are not alone, I am literally balling my eyes out right now when I am listening to you describing this, it reminds me so much of the horrible situation that my grandma was in. She had 5 different types of cancer, and the cancer got to her heart and it made her heart stop. The doctors said that she would only have 2-3 years to live and she survived for 5 years. I love you so much Sam❤️ And remember, you and Jess are ALWAYS in my prayers 🙏
10:38 “because I’m just thinking about losing Jessica after being with her for 15 years and having kids” Oh my gosh, my heart 😢
I lost my grandad about a month ago to cancer I know how you feel Sam but God gave me the strength to get through it and I feel stronger now it was a life lesson that no one lives forever it’s just a part of life and I just see it as a bump in the life rollercoaster the jamfam and I are with you it takes some courage to come out and talk about it thank you god for giving us strength 🙏
This could be a 'try not to cry' video
Done! Love you guys
This video touched me especially beacause my dad is facing the same disease. May your dad rest in peace❤
I am do sorry for your lose. My hopes and prayers go out for you. I know it’s been nine years but I can relate to this so much. My dad passed away when I was 2 and I know how it is growing up without a father. I love you guys so much and the jamfam as a whole. 🙏 We are all here to support you and will always be here for you guys. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your dad’s loss we’re here to support you you’re never going to be alone you’ll always have us and we always have your back. We love you Sam and Jess ❤️💙
Sam has so much kindness I’m sorry you had to go through that it is very horrible that you went through that stay strong!
Sam, I started tearing up!!😢 I'm sorry that happened to you at such a young age!!! That must have been hard! I know my parents mean everything to me...but losing my dad, that would be tough!! I'm sorry that happened to you!! We love you Sam!!!!!! ❤❤❤
I lost my dad last year. He had a heart attack. I'm 15 years. I know how you feel and how you would've felt 🥺

@@sarahelizabeth862e4 thank you, i think. I don't know 😭 i am sorry for you too, i just hope and wish you all the happiness in this world ❤️
Thanks for being open, vulnerable, and letting us into your life. ALS is a very sad and difficult disease, and process for anyone to go through. Sam, you are a great man, and I'm sure your dad would be so proud of you!
I watched my dad die when I was 14 from lung cancer. I’m so sorry you have had to deal with this Sam. You can do this and you have all of us here to support you ❤️ even with time it’s still painful, mine was 4 years ago and I still struggle. Your so strong to talk about this. We are all here for you and you are so lucky to have Jess, I’m sure she is such a brilliant support ❤️❤️❤️
You are so strong too!! May your dad's soul rest in peace. I can't begin to imagine what you went through, stay strong.
@@hibamawlawi9802 aw thank you for that, I really appreciate it ❤️
This really helped me a lot
you are so strong for posting this sam:). we love you!
You're so authentic. It's so hard to talk about this stuff and i feel like in a way it's a release for u ❤ thank you for sharing, we love u. There is always going to be a scar inside u from this. Honor that scar. Cherish it. You are so so so so loved. You're very mature for your age and ik it feels uve had to grow up quickly but u have so much to share to this world 🌎 and im so grateful to see this aspect of u, it's truly beautiful and authentic
Dad is the most precious person in everyone's life ❤
Yaah! u r right. But also mom haaa
Sam, you have so much courage and strength for being willing to be so vulnerable with us about your dad and the emotional struggles that his loss have caused for you and your family. You absolutely will help someone else (or multiple people) dealing with something similar or the same scenario. He will always be with you and I have no doubt he is so proud of the wonderful man that you are! You are in my thoughts and prayers! 🙏🏻♥️
My father passed away in December of 2016. I hop eyou know how many people are loving you right now Sam. My prayers are going out to you. Losing someone, especially a role model/father, is the worst thing anyone could go through. Thanks for making this video Sam.
You are amazing. And your dad is so proud of you.
My grandma passed away the same day 5 years ago of Ovarian Cancer. And I miss her so very much. But now she is in a better place and she made such an impact on other peoples lives.
Lots of love ❤
So proud of you Sam, not growing up with a father figure isn’t amazing, you grew up and you dealt with it, you grew into a great gentlemen, God helped you through it, he is watching over you, he’s proud of you♥️
My heart goes out to you. My kids were 12, 6, and 4 when their dad died. Circumstances were much different as he died from a drug overdose however as a young child the reason doesn't matter. The loss of life does. School was difficult as the other kids would ask questions and at times demand answers when my kids didn't want to give answers. All they wanted was to be able to make that Father's Day card and give it to their dad, or see their dad at their baseball game. No matter what male role model they had, he never took their dad's place. That void was still there. Keep sharing your story. It does help. It let's these kids know they didn't do anything to cause the death as it has happened to others as well. I'm sure the light that shines in you is that burning light that your mother would remind you you have to share your dad's memory and life with! Many prayers go out to you as you will one day be a father and will be able to pass along 9 years of memories with your kids!
Sam we all love you so much❤️ my dad passed away September of that same year, when I was five,on my 10th day of kindergarten, I kind of get it. It’s perfectly fine to cry or say that it sucks, because it does! Even now nine years later I have my days where I just miss my dad. But write things down! Write what you remember, and things you miss, and things you loved! He’ll always be there, and if you look at it this way you have your very own guardian angel that is so proud of you! 💕 I needed this today, I cried almost the entire time, and it gives me comfort that someone else gets it
I lost my aunt back in september. She was one of the few people I felt I could count on. Knowing that someone else has experienced loss even greater than mine but has gone on to live a crazy influential life gives me so much hope for my future. Thank you sam for sharing this part of you with us, the jam fam.
Sam, if you're reading this
Thank you so much for sharing this! It certainly takes so much of courage to do so and I just want to say that certain things in life a lot of us (including my self) take for granted.
It's amazing how brave your mother is to be able to raise a child single handedly so well.
I know your channel is mostly for entertainment and fun times but I've learnt so much from you about the importance of respecting women.
Thanks for being a great role model, especially for the young audience.
Wishing you and jess well my friend ❤
What I really appreciate in a personality of a RUclipsr or a creator that shares their life with the internet is when they actually don’t try to hide something important that has happened and many people know about. Instead, they open up theirselves to their fans and talk to them like they are family. I’m not saying this because I feel bad for you, but because this feeling of honesty and trust makes me feel so happy and proud, if that makes sense to anyone.
I lost my Grandma many years ago, and she was like my second mom. She was always taking care of me when my parents couldn’t, and since I was only six when she passed away, I was crying non stop for more than a year. I have now got used to that and realized that this is how life works. And, most importantly I’ve become the strong person I am today. Thank you for reminding me that!❤️✨
It's really strong from you to tell that to millions of people out there. I'm wishing you all good luck of the world ❤️
I am so grateful for brave people like you and others to speak up (in the comments as well). It's obviously hard to be sharing a sad story without having flashbacks of the though memories. I lost my grandmother like 2 years ago and it was really hard for me because I was there when the message came trough that she passed away. It was hard to believe but i know she's always look down at me. I really do wish everyone is doing great, and if not i am here to set you a reminder that you are worth it and that you have loved ones around you, always. I am proud of him to trusting us with his story. Thank you!
My dad passed way from the same condition to. Before i was born so i didn't really know him and now im 14 so i went 14 years without my dad.
U r so strong. My mom passed when I was 3, My dad remarried to an abusive woman. My older brother and I were abused for 3 years and my brother had to take care of me. We both got physically and emotionally abused (drugged, starved, and beaten) I wouldn’t be alive without him. ❤️ So Sam u r not alone in this fight. Stay strong. (And also everyone reading this❤️)
My mom passed on the 29th of October 2020. Something that never heals just feels less painful and more sad as time goes on. But i made peace with it. Life goes on i guess💔
I am soo sorry. My dad died a couple of month ago.
I've never lost a family member that I was close to, so I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what u and many other people went/r going thru...but I still want to say that I'm so proud of u, and even tho I didn't know ur dad, I KNOW FOR A FACT that he would also be SO PROUD OF U!!! STAY STRONG SAM...WE LOVE U SO MUCH
I'm so proud of you Sam to be able to speak about this 🥺💗
i’m so sorry. i lost my grandmother from ALS when i was in the second grade. it was super hard for my whole family and we haven’t been the same since. i still
miss her so much and i think about her all the time. it’s so awful to
watch someone your so
close to be in so much pain and know you can’t do anything about it. i can’t imagine how hard it would have been for you to lose your dad at such a young age. again, i’m so sorry and you are so brave to open up about what happened to you.
OMG SAM IM SO PROUD OF U ILY AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE WELLDONE
Empathy is a really important part of community. It’s okay for people to feel bad for you! It shows they care for you. ALS is a really terrible disease, and seeing your dad go through that had to have been incredibly hard. I’m really sorry that happen to you and your family. I’m sure your dad loved you so much, and would be really proud of you.
Soo much respect for you!! Is it weird that I am crying during listening. In my family only my grandfather is dead, but I don’t mind about him. Long story, but he almost killed my grandmother/ his wife. That was also hard for me and nobody understand. Someday I hope that I could look back positive a my past...❤️❤️
i lost my dad to als too. it’s gonna be 3 years in october and seeing this video made me feel my dad with me as i was watching it 🤍 you’re so strong!
My uncle passed away in December of 2019. My cousins lost there dad. My grandmother still cried almost every day. ❤️. Sam you are so amazing
Im so sorry youve had to go through this i lost my mum from Cancer when i was 8 its truly devastating to watch your loved one die from something like this thank you for sharing about this i felt less alone with still dealing with the trauma of losing her. Your dad would be so proud of you and how far youve come 🤎
Sam you're the strongest guy I've ever seen!! We all love you
The great young man that you've become and what you've achieved is really a testament to not only your own character but also the lasting impression your dad left on you and the great work he did instilling good values upon you in the short time he had raising you, and also the great work your mom did raising you on her own after becoming a widow, having to stay strong in the midst of grief and having to provide for you and continue teaching you how to be a good person and a man. Your Dad is looking down on you very proudly!
My cousins lost their mom recently and their in their 20s. It’s so difficult for them to realize especially since two of them are getting engaged without their mom :(
I lost both my grandparents 3 years ago within 5 months of each other one because of cancer and the other from Parkinson’s and watching them loose their independence loose their mobility and become bed ridden was the hardest thing to watch. Coming home from school everyday it would feel so empty so quite in the house after losing them. I was 14 when the passed away and 12 when there health started to decline. We had so many hospital visits the hospital stated to feel like home since we would be there everyday for months on end. I’m 17 now and I’m doing much better.
It’s not easy but eventually you start to feel a lot better. Love to Sam for powering through at such a young age and to anyone else who is or went through the same thing ❤️
Haven't seen my dad in 7 months because of cancer and can't go to visit him because I can't travel to hospital its heart breaking😓🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️ I know how u feel
@KAYLA SMITH omgg why? you should find a doctor
Aww I’m sorry 🥺 I hope your dad gets better
Working as a nurse during covid, it’s so hard I see for not just the families but the patient!
I feel blessed to have a dad after watching this. If anyone who thinks that their parents are mean just know they want the best for you, dont hurt them ever.
Thank you, Sam. I’m 14 and my grandpa recently passed away. It has been hard but we are pushing through. I appreciate this so much! I love you🤍
My uncle died last year from the same disease and it's so horrible watching someone you love slowly fade away. I'm so sorry this happened to you and I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share ❤
Sam we are all so proud of u 💝
Sam thank you for this video my gran has motor neurons disease and its been really hard but watching you and Jess takes my mind off of it
Sam ty for sharing 🙏 I’m 14 now and my dad passed away the same day as ur dad in 2019 I understand how hard it is ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are so strong to do through that I can't imagine how you feel. Stay strong may his soul rest in peace.
@@hibamawlawi9802 Honestly tyssssm❤️❤️
Sam your so brave and an absolute inspiration. Everyone is so proud of you and i know if your dad was here he would be so happy. I will always be part of the JAMFAM forever
Your not alone. We are all here to support you and Jess
i went threw something like this my mom passed away when i was 7 from cancer( not exactly alike) but i know how it feels to lose a family member at a young age. and for me i don’t really have an memories from when she wasn’t sick because even when i would remember memories they were only when she was sick but you always have to remember god does things for a reason and my dad always told me “ mom did everything she needed to that takes most people 80 years+ to accomplish but it took my mom around 35 years so she did everything god needed her to” . just honestly idk if u feel the same way but when i see people with moms and having a mom when there still around 40 it hurts but you have to remember there are people who love you💙this video just really touched my heart!💙
The JAMFAM is here for you Sam, no matter what🤍 we got you🤍
Amen
He’s watching over you bro he’s proud of you I promise you ❤️
I love that you are so open my grandma on my mother's side is sick at one point she couldn't talk now she is kinda getting better but it's in her brain and she has two very bad illnesses I guess you can call them and its very hard for everyone and even if it's not the same as your story I still kinda fell it also in 2020 a lot of family members passed and it was just hard but what I am trying to say is THANK YOU for sharing bc it made me fell that there are people who have it harder and showed me that I should be grateful for both of my parents still being alive the fast that at the moment my grandma is ok for her condition and age! Love you and again thank you so much❣️❣️❣️❣️ (Sorry if there are any mistakes English is my second language and I am 12)
We love you Sam, we are all proud of you, and you are so strong for putting this out.❤️❤️
I’m literally sobbing😭🥺♥️ Sam you are so strong your dad is looking down and thinking how amazing his son is 🥺🕊
My mom and dad got a divorce when I was around 5 or 6, he was on drugs and he did not treat my mom right. and looking back on it now I can see that God has had an amazing plan from the very beginning. God knows how things will end and I believe that my dad not being there for me ever has actually helped me, I know that sounds strange but I have gotten closer to God because of the stuff that has happened in my past. I believe that God knew/knows what he is doing and he has a reason for every bad thing in our life. Most of the time the bad things will bring us closer to God and make us trust in him more.
-God bless (Sorry for bad punctuation and for bad grammar)
I am so sorry Sam. I lost someone when I was 16 so I know how it feels. I am 20 right now and I turn 21 in a week and a half. So it was 5 years ago. I totally know how you would feel by now. I love your videos. Your videos are so uplifting and I love it. Look on the bright side, you have a great wife and she will take care of you.
Lost my grandpa a few days ago to cancer. I´m only 14 and he was one of the most important peoples in my life. I didnt saw him scince christmas because og covid and then only one last time three days before he died. It´s very hard for me. Feel with you Sam.
R.I.P Opa
I am sooo sorry 😭
@@eleonorarizzo5247 Thank you, it means a lot to me. Have a nice day/ night
i lost my gpa too in 2016. he was one of the most important people in my life. he passed from a heart attack/heart failure. he lived thousands of miles away from me so i had to say good bye through ft. he told everyone he was gonna take a nap and never woke up. he fought 2 years with heart failure
@@brynndevries22 this sounds horrible i am so sorry 😭
@@brynndevries22 oh no, I´m so sorry for you. Have a nice day/night
Thank you for sharing this part of your life, Sam. ❤️ I really appreciate when RUclipsrs make “real life” videos like this, because it normalizes what it’s like to be human, even if you’re also a social media influencer.
My husband, Eldon’s, Dad died of testicular cancer when my husband was 3 1/2 years old. His dad was exposed to Agent Orange during Army boot camp during the Vietnam War 🥺 Eldon’s mom raised him and his older and younger sisters on her own. Eldon talks a lot about missing his dad and not having a lot of fun memories with him - only from when he was very sick in the last few months before he died (which was also at home).
Regarding your Dad, Sam, I’m sure he was with you in spirit at your wedding at Yosemite, and that he will be with you at your 2nd wedding celebration in 2 weeks. In fact, I bet your dad is with you in spirit every day. He’s at least always been watching over you from Heaven. ❤️
One question I have for you: Did you know for a while that your Dad was going to pass before he did? Or was his passing sudden?
My mom passed away when I was 11 and now I’m 15 I’m so sorry for you Sam 🥺❤️
Thanks Sam for your message, it really means a lot. I lost my dad when I was young too, and for you to open up and see how you carried yourself from the day it happened until now👏🏽. Thank you for your message bro. God bless you and your loved ones♥️
