BOB 😍Best dad ever!
Bob, have an amazing time in NZ.
Bob deserves to go to New Zealand, best dad.
NZ, is awesome, Bob deserves to go there!
New Zealand is a must go, even if your sister wasn't there. From Lord of the Rings to fjords to big teeth (IYKNK). Have fun no matter what you end up doing!!!
This is such an inspiring idea, E+B!
My bucket list item is to travel to South Korea with my mom, Cindy. She was adopted at the age of 6 by my grandparents, who brought her back to the US to start her new life. She’s turning 53 this year + has never returned to South Korea. I would absolutely love to share that moment with her, as we explore our culture together. My mom has truly sacrificed everything for me, especially as we’ve navigated losing both my dad + step-father to their own battles with cancer. She has taught me how to be a proud Korean American. I can’t imagine a better way to honor her life by going back to where it started. 🇺🇸🇰🇷
South Korea is one of my favorite places in the world.
I'm not from there but traveled there for business in the past.
The food, the people... and the fruit. The best fruit in the world.
This bucket list wish really touched me!! ❤️
@@midwestlakelife i had no idea, thank you for sharing! It sounds amazing there 😍
Oh my, I am rooting for you and your mom!
Jessica...I so appreciate your thoughtfulness for your mother. I am the proud mother of 3 adopted from South Korea who are all grown now and are wonderful human beings. My oldest after college traveled back to her birth country and has been teaching English in Seoul for the last 9 years and loves it. My other two have taken the opportunity to visit South Korea and learn more about their heritage and culture. I hope your mother gets the opportunity to travel to South Korea and experience 1st hand the genuineness and warmth of the Korean people...their history, culture, and so much more! Much happiness to you & your mom.
Our son, Jay (age 11), is a two time cancer survivor. He started his first battle at age one. Jay's experience taught us that your bucket list can't wait! This is such a spectacular idea, and I'm so glad you guys are doing it. Keep spreading that love and positivity! You guys are amazing! ❤
Jay's biggest bucket list item is to see the Great Wall of China! We'll get him there!

I’m usually a silent follower but I’ve been following y’all’s journey for quite sometime. My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and as your videos started coming out sharing your experience it went along with hers. I am so inspired by the both of you.
I think my bucket list dream would be to go to China with my mom and husband. My mom (single mother) adopted me when I was 8 months old from China. Our dream has always been to go back. She’s worked so hard to provide and give me everything I could’ve dreamed of. I don’t know much about my history but I’d love to go back to the orphanage and see where I came from.
ok
Phwew, prepare yourself love. Those orphanages there are worse than run down dog kennels at home. Hope you get your dream come true!!
You guys are so inspirational
Very good

I am excited and can’t wait to watch this journey with you all!
My bucket list is in honor of my mom who succumbed to breast cancer last year after fighting bravely for 12 years. It was always her dream to see the castles in Ireland because we have distant relatives that still own one. On one of her last good days we discussed taking this trip and trying to find this castle, unfortunately she never got that chance but I would still love for her bucket list wish to be fulfilled!
Heartfelt hugs sweetheart 💖
@Susette Smith hugs from my ❤️
@@kathleenelias0 Thank you for your kind words. We continue to find ways to remember and honor her just as she continues to find ways to let us know she is still with us. 💕
@Susette Smith Sending love your way! Sometimes the grief feels just as fresh as the day we said goodbye to her.
And yes, the advances in medicine are lifesaving! If she had been diagnosed ten years earlier it would have been a death sentence. Instead we got 12 additional years with her. Ultimately her body just couldn’t handle it anymore.
Yessssss ! I love this idea!!!❤❤❤
This is such a fun idea🧡
So, here it goes. My dad brought myself and my two siblings up after my mum passed away in 2001 from cancer. My sister also passed away in 2007, but he kept our family going through all the hard times and always stayed positive. He worked 7 days a week to support us and gave us as much as he possibly could. He truly is an inspiration and is the light of my life.
He is now 65, still works full time, and is currently undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. He’s always dreamed of going to either Japan or New Zealand in his life, but unfortunately has never had the chance, and has only left the UK a few times. My bucket list item would be to experience visiting one of these places with my amazing dad, and to be able to give back somewhat for everything he has given to me throughout my life🥰
So sorry to hear about your losses! Praying that you and your dad will go on these adventures! Continue to share your testimony and post it on social media with a gofundme. Seek Christ will for your life daily and he will lead you on the path of hope, faith and truth! When I lost my dad 18 years ago, I new that my goes was with me. I experienced so many miracles right after my dad’s death, that all that I could do is seek to do his will daily! This world is not our homes! Yet he wants us to live life to the fullest while we are here. Just like Eamon and Bec are doing. They also are making great friends along the way! Keep up the hope. God is loving and merciful. He blesses those who ask! 🙏🤗❤️🩹
What a strong amazing man! I hope he gets his bucket list trip checked off!
I can relate and would love to meet you, your Dad, Eamon & Bec in New Zealand. This would be such a joyful, healing adventure. I just moved into my new apartment with a view of the Rosarito Beach Hotel pier from my kitchen window and patio in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, just south of the border from San Diego, Ca. My mom took me here when I was kid. She would be turning 100 this Nov 22 if she were still alive. I am planning to take some of her ashes, flowers, and scatter them from the pier on her birthday. (See my post above).
to New Zeland with Eamon's dad!!!
Although I've watched your channel for many years, it became special to me when I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer shortly after you, Bec. Watching you go through chemo helped me believe I could be brave in my treatment here in Nova Scotia. I also remember the day you rang your bell and I was laying ill in the hospital bed on my 4th round of chemo and I cried and started dreaming of when I could ring mine. Eventually I got to ring it! I now, at 22 years old, have terminal ovarian cancer. I'm getting to do a lot of my bucket list, but some is out of reach because of my health. I've always wanted to find a cliff in NZ and do a hike to set up a tent. Waking up to the sun on the ocean and making coffee in the silence of the morning 🌅 what a dream. Big hugs xo
I pray that God will minister a healing of miracles over your body and that you will rejoice for all of your days ❤ I pray you are comforted through every trial and that you are touched by His power. I break death off of you in Jesus name.
Oh sweet girl 🥰 what a magical vision this put in my mind. My thoughts are with you and hope, after one year of you writing this, that you are still able to check off bucket list dreams. My wish for you: no matter where you and your soul are that you are surrounded by love and peace. 🩵
let’s GOOOO!!!!!!! Eamon and Bec are BACK BABY 🥳💪🏻 I am overflowing with joy! Love you two and cannot wait to see what this next year brings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you guys too!! ♥️♥️♥️
I do food reviews while I’m high on my YouTubę chånnel ‼️

Hi Kara and Nate or should I say Captain Nate.
Bec's cancer treatment journey started right when my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was going through chemo treatments, rang her bell, and then went through radiation at similar milestones of Bec's. Seeing Bec staying so strong is exactly how my mom was fighting, but unfortunately, she did not have the strength to continue. Through her treatment process, she lost a lot of weight and became malnourished and weak to the point where she couldn't walk more than a few steps for 4 months. She decided her life was best spent without treatment and passed on August 6th of this year.
When she found out her diagnosis, she shared it with my family and didn't know how to process it. One thing she said was "Do I just live my life to the fullest now and go to Europe to complete my bucket list?". It's one place she always wanted to visit, but got sick way too fast to travel, but I knew if I ever got the chance to go to Europe, I would do it in memory of her. She loved cruising and I know she would of loved to sail around the Mediterranean. It's my goal to do this so she can experience it with me.
I know she's still with us and her presence in my life is so strong. Cancer takes way too many lives but seeing stories like Bec's give me hope that one day, we will all get through this.
Thank you for always creating such inspiring content and thank you for sharing your authentic selves with us. I know what you went through was hell and I am so proud of Bec and her fight to move forward and come out of it thriving. Truly inspirational.
We just lost my niece's amazing hubby to PC...a brave 28 month battle but he's still gone way too soon. So sorry for your loss.
@@CathyGreenCakes thank you for your condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss too. PC is TOUGH. Fighting to find a cure.
My uncle lef earth on agust 6 due to pancreatic cancer as well, 18 months fighting but it wasn't enough 💔 my condolences to your family
@@marianaandion7791 I'm so sorry for your loss 💜
@@alisonjannette3084 i am so sorry that your mom died but i will para that things will get better
As someone with ten dogs, most of them are rescues, over half are seniors, and two are have very serious illnesses. Last year, we took in 2 of these dogs from my dear friend who passed from breast cancer. We really didn’t have the space, but we are making it work. So in honor of her, my bucket list includes finding a way to help a small, underfunded animal rescue here in North Central Florida. I have already hosted an on-line auction to raise funds, but this rescue is barely surviving…
Since you love Oso so much, maybe you would consider helping this animal rescue. Kennel space, food, training, veterinary care, etc. Thank you for your consideration!
I love this ❤ As a fellow rescuer of senior dogs, thank you so much for what you do. They deserve it so much!
My bucket list item is to take my mom to Hawaii because she chose a house over Hawaii in her first marriage. The marriage didn't last and she didn't end up with the house. So I really want to give her that experience as she's been the best mom a person could ask for.
Oh I pray you all get to Hawaii soon l b
Mine is definitely an opportunity to see the northern lights with my grandma! Years ago I asked her what her biggest dream is, and this was her immediate answer. She is almost 80 years old now, and I haven't forgotten about her dream. Excited to see the new chapter E&B!!
With you in Alaska ❤️👌
Come to the BWCA in Ely, MN. I live on the edge of a forest, and we see Northern Lights often. I hope that you can give this gift to your grandma! Best of luck.
@@steepedinadventure I live in lower MICHIGAN.
In the U.P. I saw them a few times. They are so beautiful.
@@evalinawarne1337 They are! We are lucky to live in a place with so much natural beauty.
Northern lights on my wishlist since I was a little girl! Pushing 60 🥴 and 🇿🇦 is on the other side of the planet.
I'm 51...so I'm getting older and time seems like it is flying. A bucket list item of mine is to hike the El Camino from France to the coast of Spain. Its a pilgrimage that is good for the body and soul. Take me with you! Love you guys!!!!
Gloria, I walked the Camino Frances twice. Second time was this August. If the camino is calling you: follow the call! You can do it! It will change you.
That has definitely been on my list for a long time. I would also love to hike in the Dolomites
Mine as well. I've booked cc it for the end of April. I'll be 70 in January and I'm type 1 so it'll be a challenge physically and spiritually. So excited!
My DIL is your age and she's planning for that in 2024. Good luck!
I started the Camino in 2019 and got a job offer the day I arrived in France so I went home after 12 days. God-willing I'll be back next June, but I can say honestly, I've thought about being back there every day for the last 3 years. I hope you get your wish!
Bucket list idea: Seeing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in Finland or Iceland with my husband! I have always loved the northern lights and have never been to either place.
Also on my list! along with dog sledding and potentially staying in an ice hotel or something like that.
Yes 🙌🏼 ❤
This is my bucket list item too (not necessarily anywhere, just to see them)! ❤❤❤
same! seeing this natural phenomenon must be an unreal experience and I want to see them one day too! 🙂
Awwww I’m from Finland and grew up seeing Northern Lights. I hope you can see them too!
I am a mumma of a little girl with low vision and Downs syndrome. We never go on holidays and I never get a break from caring for her. We live Australia and my only thing on my bucket list right now is to be able to travel around Australia and show my kids the beauty of our amazing land, one day... Oh and Make Bob go to NZ !!!!
So happy for you!! One of my bucket list items (which I’m currently working on) is providing 100 mothers living in extreme poverty with a long term revenue opportunity. I lived in Burkina Faso while working on poverty alleviation projects in 2015 and I am collaborating with a friend there to make it happen. You are already involved with many charities and I am sure you can find a community you would love to help. When we help mothers that help becomes exponential as their children benefit! Good luck to you both, thank you for sharing your inspiring lives with us and have a great year!! By the way I love your Chai!!
Our church has supported the widows project in Uganda…they get interviewed, get land, and many are now self sustainable and even sending kids to University!!! 🙏David Moore.🙏
The bucket lists on here are making me cry😭
Giving women microloans is the BEST thing you can do...for their family and community ❤️ Women almost always repay the loan and grow their venture and multiply it...research this to see how wonderful this can be! Good luck with your project 👍
❤
I’m an old lady (58)….compared to you two that’s for sure! But I just love following your adventures and love your authenticity and your fun, positive, outlook on life. My developmentally disabled sister passed away suddenly several years ago. The monarch butterfly holds a special place in all our hearts as it makes us think of her. I’ve never really been very many places or taken any extravagant or adventurous vacations but the one thing I’ve always wanted to do is go to overwinter site in central highlands of Mexico where they migrate to from the US and Canada. I understand you have to ride mules to get to the location but it’s absolutely magical with millions and millions of monarch butterflies clinging to the forest trees. It would be so meaningful given the connection to my sister.
🦋❤
I would like to see this
My brother passed away in 2015 as a result of PTSD and I've been struggling ever since with understanding who I am in this world, feeling like I belong, feeling like my dreams are worth pursuing, and just "being" in general. In 2020, during the pandemic, I started writing a book (fiction) inspired by the year after we lost him. While it was (and has been) cathartic, it made me realize I am more damaged emotionally from the loss than I thought I was. Between the pandemic, dealing with this loss and (not so) newfound levels of grief, feeling trapped in my financial/career situation, I've developed this wanderlust. What started out with little walks around my neighborhood, grew into hiking my local state parks, somewhere along the line developed into a full blown wanderlust to see the world. And each day that passes, I ask myself if it's a byproduct of depression or something else, but regardless, I have longed to go on an adventure to find the pieces of myself that are out there. Part of me thinks it's this undying devotion to honoring the dream my brother and I had of exploring the world together. Since money is super tight for me, I've resorted to driving up and down my state for the past couple years; taking in the beauty from all of it's corners and writing wherever I can. Lately I've been pushing the boundaries and take small trips into the surrounding states but can never go too far. In 2023, I hope to finally save enough money to pull that metaphorical trigger and drive cross country from NJ to California, exploring landmarks big and small, and explore our backyard (like my brother and I once dreamed of) by any means necessary; even if that means sleeping in my car, camping on the side of the road, and stretching every last penny to do it. Quite frankly, it's far more than a bucket list item. It's something I feel I have to do.
HOW BEAUTIFUL!!
GOOO YOU!
❤️
So inspiring.
The loss of a sibling never fades, it hangs around because the love never dies. Good luck!
I cannot even imagine loosing my sibling, my heart aches for you. That is so special that you’re able to turn such loss into such a beautiful gain in a sense. grief can really break a person but you are able to stay so strong and so positive. I know your brother is looking down on you so proud❤️
I’m from California and want to go cross country in my vehicle to see the sights on my way to New Jersey where my sister-in-law lives. We are kindred exploring spirits. I hope you get all the votes!!! ❤
tears flowing down my face.....literally. In 2011 at the hands of a $1 billion hospital I have PTSD & debilitating anxiety which drove all of my family away, my friends away, and I have so much pain and mistrust that I find it impossible to even talk to my neighbors. I spent the first six years 97% sure I was going to take my life, and then I dropped down to about 85% for about four years, and then the last two I finally just accepted I would never be happy again and I came to terms with that and became content. Out of this cocoon/ chrysalis and the caterpillar stage of having my whole life liquefied, the emergence of which has been something that has turned into something spectacular experience. I've never felt so much freedom in all my life - and all because I literally don't care what anyone thinks about me anymore. But I also know that I'm a self-admitted codependent person who's navigating this world so entirely alone it's hard for me to even comprehend. It was in 2011 that I discovered RUclips and it it was the only extension of a social life that I had… And still remains that way today. I'm still trying to iron out all of the pains and issues that have happened. But I am here to stay....no matter how few and far between the smiles are. I am succumb with grief that your brother was not able to make it out to the other side. Losing a brother is quite hard... it just hits differently.
My bucket list item is actually for my parents ❤️. They watch your channel, but would never post for themselves.
My Mom and Dad are amazing parents, partners, and just great people. I'm so lucky to have them as my role models and look up to them so much! They have been following you on RUclips for the past few years and I was introduced to your channel through them. They love the outdoors and adventure!
After an expected loss in our family in 2014, and another life changing medical emergency in the family in 2016, my parents outlook on life became, "live in the moment because you don't know what tomorrow brings." Since then they have gone on many adventures and even completed hiking the 46 high peaks in NY! During this time, they started watching your channel and fell in love with van life! Their plan from this point was to move to van life after they both retired and travel throughout the states and Canada. Fast forward to January 2021. With 4 years until retirement, my Dad got hurt at work and could no longer work. After a surgery and long recovery, my parents outlook on life became even stronger and they truly live in the moment. Things have been tough over the last year and a half, but they keep pushing through. Their hope is to still do van life...some day. Financially they have to put it on the back burner. That's why I'm posting my bucket list for them. I want to see them get a van and be able to travel. After they've done so much for me my whole life, I want to do something for them and see them continue to live in the moment and follow their dream of van life traveling.
Thanks for reading ❤️
I hope they get their dream!! 💛🙌🏻🎉
I have NEVER commented on a video before as I don't generally put myself out there. I turned 50 this year though and am starting to appreciate that life is short and you need to chase after the life you want for yourself. I'll put my bucket list item here - but then continue on why I've connected with you.
I want to take my son (and daughter) to the Galapagos Islands. My son is 13 and on the autism spectrum. He doesn't connect with a lot of experiences, but LOVES penguins. We had the chance to interact with penguins at an Aquarium in Niagara Falls, New York and it was a special experience. To be able to take him to a penguin's natural habitat though would be a life long memory and open up his own mind to opportunity. He also struggles with anxiety so a trip like this would demonstrate to him his inner strength and the world of opportunity that awaits. That's the other part of putting myself out there more - to be a role model to my two kids and the possibilities available to them.
I've also been inspired by Bec's cancer journey. In my early 30's my best friend fought and died from cancer. We lived 3 time zones away from each other and I didn't appreciate the struggles she went through in treatment and as a new mom. Seeing Bec's journey, positivity, kindness and energy in her interactions with the health system and other patients was inspiring. To see the the gratitude and kindness she gave and received gives me hope and optimism for the struggles of the health system coming out of the pandemic.
Eamon and Bec you are an inspiration to many. I look forward to continuing to follow your adventures, the friends you make along the way, and the positivity you spread. And to have the opportunity to share in some of that would be MAGICAL!
Wow! Praying that you will get your wish! 🙏❤️🩹🙏
Me too 🙏
I'm a long-term, two-time breast cancer survivor AND also a penguin biologist who has taken students to the Galapagos! I would love to see this bucket list item selected, because a Galapagos adventure would highlight the importance of protecting wild places on the planet as well as illustrate how healing nature can be for all humans -- especially for those considered neurodiverse. Nature needs us, but WE also need nature to be truly healthy and connected.
Please get in touch if you need resources or suggestions to make this happen (there are research teams who would love to get some visibility too - researchers have really struggled during the pandemic). Seeing Galapagos penguins in the wild is tricky because they are highly endangered (perhaps 800 breeding pairs left in the world), and you obviously don't want to have a negative impact on the birds during your visit. But it can be done and my students have always reported that their visit to the Galapagos Islands was truly life-changing (and I've taken students all around the world). It's a magical place.
HUGE HUGS to Eamon and Bec for this brilliant idea and for your incredible courage to share your cancer journey and your BLY... I just love you both!
GALAPAGOS PENGUINS FTW!!!!! 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧(BTW these are King penguins, not Galapagos penguins -- again illustrating why Galapagos penguins need a lot more love!)
Okay, here it goes! My wife is an absolute powerhouse and literally the most amazing mom, partner and pillar in our community. Long story short - we currently have a new baby and after the birth my wife was sick for many months. We endured a long hospital stay as my wife healed and it was an extremely challenging time for us navigating being new parents and my wife recovering from postpartum anxiety/depression among other physical aliments. My wife is literally the most amazing person I know. Even when she's struggling she tries her best to bring positivity to every space. In her personal life, she completely selfless and spends her time volunteering for women's groups, organizing and participating in community events, and is also a business owner/officiant. When I said she's a powerhouse... I mean it. All that to say, she deserves something big to celebrate all of her accomplishments over the last year and if this challenge could help me attain that for her... I would be forever grateful. One of her bucket list items is to visit all of the continents and so far she has been to North America, Asia and Africa. If we could help her knock off another continent, somewhere she can put her feet up and enjoy... that would be AWESOME.
My name is also Bec and I’m giving this a shot! These videos of Bec’s journey have been so hard for me to watch but totally worth it to see her & Eamon’s strength through it all - my mom first had breast cancer when I was in high school in 2011 and in 2021 it returned. I quit my job to take care of my mom through surgery and more treatment. While she is doing amazing at the moment, it’s terminal. My dream would be to have a van built out to take my mom on the most amazing road trip through all of Canada and the US, starting with our family back in Canada. We live in NJ and haven’t been back since before her treatments. She also hasn’t ever been out west and I want her to experience all of the beauty this road trip would have to offer her. ❤
Ooh ..best kick cancer butt wishes 💕💕💕 the west is soo beautiful , my father grew up there in Montana and told me soo much about it…
My heart goes out to you. I lost my mom to breast cancer in 2011 after a five- year battle. I know this time with your mom is bitter- sweet, but I pray God fills it with precious memories to carry for the rest of your life. 💜
I lost my Mom then my brother then my Dad to Cancer and one other brother battled Cancer an has been cancer free for 20 years…… I hope you get on the short list and can make beautiful memories together ❤
My family has had a nature reserve in the mountains of Rio, Brazil, for my whole life (I'm 25) and has turned it from old barren farm into a beautiful full second growth Atlantic forest. My parents always worked really hard and maintained it financially through their own earnings, but since the crisis hit we lost everything. That place (which you are very much invited to visit) is my favorite place and a heaven in the midst of a country heavily moved by deforestation and a destructive government. My dream has always been to see the reserve continue to flourish and perhaps even extend it, but now its future is uncertain. So, I guess my new dream is to raise enough money per year to at least pay off the basic expenses so that it doesn't need to be sold. We are nothing without Nature, and it plays such a vital role in our physical and mental health. And this place is truly special, you can feel its power when you visit it. Thank you guys for always tirelessly bringing happiness into my weeks with your videos, and for being who you are. You are both so strong and incredible, and Bec, you are truly an inspiration and I admire you with all my heart. Thank you for letting us in on your journey
I’m catherine (Kieran’s daughter) and as a fifteen year old watching these videos, all I can say is thank you.
I get the feeling that most 15yr olds are out with friends and living the lives they love. I love the life I live too, but I’m a little different.
When I was two my mum passed from breast cancer and I’ve now lived 13 years without her. I can’t remember much; not her voice or a cuddle. And as I teenage girl I am struggling without her. However, I know just how strong and loving she was, dedicating her life to find cures for other people, and I believe I got my sense of adventure from her. My bucket list wish is to meet you guys and get to tell the world about her, i want to raise awareness and you two have the platform to help me do that. Your videos have given me the support I need when I miss her most and have felt the at my loneliest. Thank you!
❤
Want to vote this up 100 times... you are such a brave girl!
Bye mom and dad got a divorce when I was about eight years old. My dad was from Ireland
you should be able to go and meet them
This absolutely pulls at my heart strings...You hang in there sweetness , she will stay alive through you always..I don't know you but I think you are gonna do big things..😉😘
Hiking the Camino de Santiago would be a dream. This pilgrimage route has been around for over 1,000 years, and it's still going strong today. The reasons are endless, but here are a few reasons why I want to go...experience real Spanish culture, visit famous historical sites in Spain, explore small villages and towns that don't get many visitors, enjoy some of the best walking trails in Europe, and of course, make new friends along the way!
PS I'm just getting over Covid. 11 days so far, and it has not been fun. I'm glad you're feeling better.
I did the Camino de Santiago in 2019 and 2022 and it was the most incredible experience. Walking over the Pyrenees and leaving a rock at the iron cross to leave your burdens behind. It's about 30 -35 days adventure and Eamon and bec would be a great adventure for you. It's the absolute best community, life changing from France to Spain 790 km walk!
@@lindahiggins4674 That is amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I have a rock that I have carried with me for a while and would be the perfect symbol to leave at the Iron Cross. It's time for me to be unapologetic about what I want in life and stop settling for less than my best self. It's time for me to take control of my life and do whatever it takes to get where I want to go.
My friend and I are planning to do this too!!!!! We walked a marathon and half 5 years ago in honor of a dear friend we lost to breast cancer. It was a real test of mental and physical strength to get through it, but we did it! ✨ The last year, this same friend I walked with, has really struggled with depression, and I just know this pilgrimage will lift her up! ...blues 💙and greens 💚, eh! If you guys add this to your bucket list, WE WILL BE THERE!!!
@@danabilhimer I love this! Thank you for sharing.
I began watching you two because you reminded me of one of my sons. After Bec got cancer, your story hit home. My husband has two cancers - one that has been cured and one that has metastasized. When first diagnosed, we started on the “bucket list” and have accomplished so many things together in these past 6 years. For this I feel very grateful and blessed. Bec, as you sent Eamon off on the trip alone (until you could join him), I am reminded that soon my husband will be sending me off alone to navigate life as a widow and I will have to discover bucket list items for solo living. Top of my list will be travel to places like Iona and/or the Camino de Santiago to help sooth my heart and clear my mind as I discover my new normal. Thank you for your witness to living life to the fullest, loving each other as well as those you meet along the way, and cherishing the joy of life.
Sending you so much love Clara!
Sending you love and strength🙏🏽💖
Go and do the Camino the Santiago, it’s a blessing
My cousin did the Camino three years ago in memory of her son who passed away in tragic accident in 2009. It's a very uplifting experience, you meet so many great people. Sending you my love
Wishing you love and Peace enjoy each other.
My husband died last year and I’ve just traveled to his grave to finally set his stone and begin the next chapter of my life. Yes, we knew what was on the horizon for him and I still live each day grateful in the understanding that we spent the time we had together being positive and joyful. It frees me now to make a new life for myself until we ‘catch up later’ . Now I’m just ‘in retreat’ after catching Covid and I think your idea of a pilgrimage of the heart is exactly perfect👍🏼❤️🥰
Hey! I don’t want to apply for anything because there are people wayyy more deserving than I in the comments, but I did just want to reach out and say thank you for sharing your story online. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and it’s something I’ve dealt with for at least 15 years (I’m 27 now). It’s a pretty debilitating illness which means I have to spend a lot of my time at home, not able to go out. One of my biggest passions in life is travelling when I am able to - watching your videos let’s me really get a break from how I’m feeling and just immerse in the adventures you have. Also the way you shared your experience with cancer was so relatable and pure - I am not in any way saying that they are similar illnesses, but just knowing that someone else is strong enough to get through such a major illness as the one you did Bec, inspired me. You both have such big impacts on peoples lives and that is magical - enjoy your bucket list year to the max. Sending all my love from the UK ❤️✨
That’s so touching 🙌
Hi, I am someone who suffers from sinus tachycardia! I understand the feeling of not being able to do anything. It is so hard to watch others live your dreams but you just have to remember that you are fighting, so many people lose their battles but you, you haven’t. There are so many people in similar situations and I think it’s nice to come together and support one another as they go through something. Just know that I will always be here cheering you on as you get stronger and stronger, good luck my friend, I wish you well❤
💟
Hi same here I am 65 and have chronic fatigue syndrome also chronic pain and fibromyalgia and arthritis. Now they have found polyps on my thyroid. I no how it is not too have the energy most days to get from the bed to my couch. Most days I am just in the bed. I have followed since the beginning of Eamon and Bec. They have helped me through a lot of days. Bec is such a Warrior. But my heart goes out to you having Chronic fatigue Prayers for you Hun.❤️
@@nannapatty110 such a lovely message, and I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling too. Take care of yourself ❤️
As a single mother who has overcome breast cancer not once but twice my biggest bucket list is taking my wonderful son to London for a high school graduation present. My son is one of the best kids he tries so hard, and knowing it’s not easy for him because he’s has Asperger’s.
Liz, praying that you will be able to take your son to London as a graduation present! It this does not work, please do a gofundme. I am sure that your friends and family and those who know you would love to support you! May God grant you your wishes! Everything is possible through Christ who give us faith and life! God bless you! 🙏❤️🩹🤗❤️🙏
ok
I started crying hearing that you are getting MARRIED!!! 👰🏻♀🤵🏻What a sweet way to celebrate a challenging year!❤❤❤
I’m so excited for your wedding day too!
I love you guys, Eamon and Bec! I found your channel and started watching and binge watched when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m going through treatments now. And I have to admit that I cried a lot during this video. You guys are so uplifting and encouraging and inspiring. This past year has been very difficult for me. Splitting up with my husband about a year ago and now living alone for the first time in 35 years. Getting diagnosed with breast cancer and going through treatments without a partner has been extremely difficult. This year my mom also got diagnosed with breast cancer and my sister was diagnosed with uterine cancer. They both underwent surgery and are both doing well. 2022 has been one of the most difficult times in my life! And I’m looking forward to 2023 being an awesome year! I used to scuba dive and I always wanted to dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Something that does not look like it will ever happen for me. So if this bucket list item is chosen, I can live this dream vicariously through you guys. Thank you so much for bringing joy to me and so many other people! You guys are the best! Love you so much! Hugs!
Christine ~ Sending you healing energy, peace and love, as you finish up this extraordinarily difficult year, and, look with excited anticipation towards the New Year of 2023 ... 💛🍁🧡🍁🤎
Sending hugs and prayers for full recovery and healing for you and your family.
Omg your comment made me tear up. Sending you healing vibes, wherever you are ❤
Sending you all the strength
Sending you healing, I would love to go to Australia!
My paternal grandparents have always been my rock in my life. In 2019 I wanted to plan to take them on a in country trip to wet their feet to travel by plane. My grandfather passed away in 2020 not because of catching the covick but our family believes from the grief of what weirdly anomaly was occurring weighed deeply on his caring heart. He passed peacefully at home while my grandmother tried to do everything she could for him but he just smiled back as if knowing. My family never truly has mourned his death because the world shut down. My grandmother had to learn how to live life without her partner of 50 years married. They’re immigrants who came to the USA to prosper for their family and worked their butts off running a small family business lunch truck (before lunch trucks became popular iykyk). Not being able to properly mourn my grandfather in the height of a global shutdown was taxing for me and I had to dig myself out of that state. Before the panorama happened I thought I’d have a house, a child, and be able to savor those monumental moments with both my paternal grandparents.
Ultimately, my Bucketlist is to travel with my grandmother not only every chance I get while she is still physically with me BUT too purposefully plan a trip to Italy and bring my grandfather’s ashes to lay to rest with his parents.
I’ve always wanted to see sea turtles hatching because I love how they are determined to get to the sea despite the low survival rate - they have such a motivation for life, great mantra
Did this one! You'll love them. So perfect and tiny. Its important to guard them from the seagulls, etc as they make their way to the sea. That experience will stay with me for the rest of my days. Make it happen Charlotte!
My bucket list is to go to Alaska to see glaciers!
@@susandunaway8290 where did you see them and what time of year? Definitely going to do my best to see it, so magical!
@@Choosepostivity believe it or not, it was an unexpected hatching on Ormond Beach in Florida. It was early summer, there weren’t many people on the beach, but when they started coming out of the sand everyone, parents, kids, seniors, all rushed over to help them make it to the sea. In the divisiveness and turmoil of the times we live in, in that moment (and so many others) I’m reminded of the good in people. 😉
I've always wanted to go to Rwanda and see the mountain gorillas! They are my favourite land animals and I admire the work Dian Fossey has done! See those gorillas in the wild would be a dream come true! 🥰
I’ll come too - after Kenya & Uganda!👌
I’m triple thumbsing up this one please! ❤️
Aw guys - what a bloody gorgeous vlog - we found ourselves smiling alongside you especially after the year you've had - you deserve the world. So excited for TBLY!!! 🤗
p.s We've got our merch!! 🥳🥳
Thank you @king-it for helping out with the cabin. Love your channel. I am looking forward to the final boat tour and adventure on your channel.
We love you both so so so much 💛💛💛💛
I just burst into tears seeing your ending and where you are!! This is the absolute best!!
My bucket list … polar bears in Churchill MB, an extended visit to the island of Bermuda and to volunteer help in a wild animal sanctuary and feed a chimpanzee baby.
You are on the right continent to visit a sanctuary… just sayin…
On my bucket list: in 2020 you inspired my courage to try Van life. My kids lived across the country and I needed a constant way to see them and experience adventures along the way... so I bought a toy hauler.
I even started to renovate it with some friends. Fast forward, my kids live with me full time now and we've often daydreamed about what to do with the trailer. It remains unrenovated. I would love to still create this space of adventure for my family. I'd love to finally finish renovating my trailer so we can go play!
Thank you for inspiring so many of us to dream big again! #hopingtobeseeninthereplies 🤷♀️
My bucket it item is to take my partner to Columbia to visit his best friend. My partner Matthew was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was 18. He has since gone through radiation, three surgeries, multiple chemotherapy’s has just failed out of clinical trail and has just started his second round of radiation (which is very rare). We are currently trying to get the fund to go travel but I work minimum wage and he is unable to work due to his condition. God willing once he is finished with this round of radiation we will get to travel once more.
Please think about starting a gofundme to make your partners dream come true. Praying n for a full recover for him.
Mine is 180% seeing penguins in Antarctica and sleeping in a sleeping bag on the ice!!!!! Similar to Kara and Nate. ❤️🐧 it would be incredible to see the glaciers and ice shelves before climate change takes them away, I graduated a marine science major and we spent so much time talking about this so it’s important for me to see it in my lifetime. Also I’m just that weirdo that enjoys extremely cold places over hot places 🤪🤷🏼♀️
That's mine too!!!
I have always wanted to go to Antarctica because the trip seems so peaceful. I have been searching for peace for a long time and something about being in a place only a few people have ever been is like a beautiful nugget of "Peace on Earth" 🕊🌎
@@adfhhskfjsiofen1208 maybe joint bucket list adventure?! Hahaha
I am 73 years young, and I have a bucket list. I’ve completed several bucket list items, like travel to Switzerland, Germany, France, and a few islands, but I would like to buy property and build a container hime on it, with water collection, and dolor panels. I travel a lot. Not always in Europe, but in the United States too. I would love to travel to Canada it seems amazing there. Have a blast on your trip Eamon.
That would make a great video
This.
Honestly, on my bucket list is to meet Bec! My mom is a breast cancer survivor and never truly shared everything she had to go through almost 12 years ago. She too had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation as well as a mastectomy. I was truly a young dumb 18 year old when she went through treatment and watching your journey just made me realize how strong she was and how amazing you are! I hope you guys have an amazing BLY !! It is much deserved.
You guys are so inspiring! ✨
My dad has been my moms caregiver for over 20 years and I see the toll that it has taken on him. He is 75 years young and his spirits really need to be uplifted!✨ He loves boats and has volunteered his time for over 16 years to the Power Squadron, a national boating group that takes care of the waters in and around the United States. He is the father of 6 and has shown all of us what “death till us part” is all about. He has stood by my mom through it all when he could have left for a more “easy” life. My bucket list wish would be to give him a once-in-a-lifetime mariner experience on the water anywhere in the world. That would be really magical. ❤️
That is so sweet and kind! Praying that you can have your wish!
Well said Virginia! Bo deserves it!🤞
Thank you! ❤️
So true!! He and our mom have been through so much in their 50 years of marriage. He could seriously use a joyful once in a lifetime experience!
That would be amazing!
The day I watched your I Have Cancer Video was the day I got a call from my doctor saying I had cervical cancer. I was already crying for you and with one phone call my life got flipped up side down (not in the good way like Will Smith). My dream is to build a non for profit to help young adults who are battling cancer with outdoor adventure retreats to build connections and a community, one thing I felt like I was missing during my cancer journey. I bought a van during the pandemic to outfit as a camper van but it ended up being a lemon and I lost $20k. I would love a van to travel and live and not worry about rent or work to focus on this new project. Being diagnosed with cancer at 31 has complete chanced my life and my new life goal is to help anyone struggling with cancer and build connections within this weird but beautiful community.
There are many weird phenomenons that happen in life, I feel like i was meant to reach out as I watch the your video the same day I got diagnosed and Becs and I have the same birthday! You unknowingly help me during my cancer journey and if nothing comes from this, this is my thank-you to you!
Lots of love, Megan.
I've been watching you guys for years and was really sad to see Bec's struggles but glad that she is now in recovery. The 5k challenge was absolutely amazing to watch as a former runner. What an inspiration!
Several years ago my wife, son, and I took a life changing trip to Cuba. We had no idea what we would encounter. We packed up a suitcase for ourselves and a suitcase full of items to donate. We were amazed by Cuba, the people and culture. We handed out as much stuff as we could leave behind. The people of Cuba don't have many resources to work with. This touched my son's heart and so he began collecting 100's of pieces of sporting equipment to take back to Cuba. Unfortunately, our son Laun suddenly passed away last year due to a rare heart condition at the age of 23. Our bucket list item is to take all the sporting good (soccer) equipment and toys, Laun collected, back to Cuba. The plan is to donate the equipment to schools and teams on the island in a few cities or towns. We want to honor Laun's legacy by spreading his love and compassion for others in Cuba. Much of the heavy lifting (collection) is complete, we just need to find away to deliver.
Commenting to get Laun to the top of the comments!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Would love for y'all to get to honor his legacy in that way.
YES TO THIS! My husband is from Havana but has family all over the island. He also used to be a teacher and has plenty of connections with schools and teams that would be so so grateful for these items. We would love to help :)
Watching you guys living your best lives after such testing times is really heartwarming and inspiring. Becs has given me courage through my Health issues this year. So far in less than a year I have lost my best friend to cancer, had a double fractured arm,a heart attack and a month ago ,a massive tumour and my kidney removed. We named the tumour Jack so he could hit the road! Anyway, like Eamon was your rock Becs,my rock has been my daughter, India, 21 . She has supported me, held me, run our little school,kept the house running and just been amazingly strong. Her plans to travel etc had to be put on hold and she deserves to have an amazing adventure . She has been planning a road trip to New Zealand and my bucket list wish would be to share some of that road trip with her so whatever happens she will always have those memories. #2023 #dontletcancerstopyou #newzealandroadtrip
Hit the road jack, and don’t you ever come back!! I’m so sorry about your loss, stay strong ❤
@@Kristypuff Thanks Kristy!
Travel with both of your moms ❤️ We know how much our moms can support us and I believe that both of your moms deserve a dream trip! As a mom myself, I would cherish a trip with my kids when they are older ❤️I would take your moms to some tropical paradise when they can eat good food and enjoy a stress free visit with you two ❤️
My mom had cancer this year and I would love to do a trip like this with her too. She watches you guys and found inspiration through watching your channel. She is doing well & I am forever grateful ❤️ My mom has been there for the birth of my 3 children and held me during my oldest sons father death. Moms are amazing and never can underestimate their power 🙏
🙏❤️🩹🙏
OK, so my bucket list is for my mum and dad! I've always said I would send Mum & Dad on the Orient Express trip, Something they used to go on about quite a bit over the years. Unfortunately, I've never been in a position financially to be able to afford it. Mum has been fighting Cancer for the last five years and is on her fifth Chemotherapy. It would be amazing to see them both have a trip of a lifetime traveling on the amazing Orient Express before they can't travel anymore.
My thought also was The Orient Express. It's on my bucket list as is seeing the Northern Lights in person.
This feels like a big one and not very possible, but it is my heart’s greatest desire… I am a single mom of 7 through birth and adoption. The kids and I very much want to own a home where we can practice hospitality to others. We have lived in a tiny home (renting) for the past 12 years and it has brought blessings upon blessings. I have worked hard on it and created a place of beauty and hospitality for others through my gardens and yard by inviting all people to have community here through our Friday night fires in our backyard. It has been amazing to invite practical strangers and see them develop friendships with others and start to have community.
My kids and I dream of owning a much larger home in the area or property with multiple structures to create space for others to find solace and community and to rent out to support ourselves. A place where the gardens I tend and the butterflies I raise can bring people peace and healing. A place where I can make medicine from the plants I grow (I am studying to become an herbalist) and share that medicine and those plants with the community. This has been on my vision board for many years now (we even have a name for it! : La Casita de las Mariposas) and it’s the one thing I cannot seem to figure out how to make happen. I do not own our current home, and while it has been exactly what we needed for so many years, it is no longer a healthy situation to be in with our landlord, but we are stuck. I have lived such a rich life with these children, but if there is one thing I want to be able to do with these kids, it is that.
I'm so happy to see how well you both are doing and I look forward to following along on such an exciting adventure this coming year! You two are so deserving of such an amazing year!!
My husband’s grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer and was given 3 months. She is 88 and she is a breast cancer survivor. Her dream has always been to travel to Adri and go on a safari. I hope she gets to go. Thank you for always being an inspiration. I absolutely love your videos and your positivity. Thank you for also spreading mental health awareness but supporting better help therapy. I love you guys so much and I’m excited for your tear to come! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
i am so sorry and hope you guys have a great 2023 and a great day
ok
ok
This video makes me so excited for 2023! Bucket list idea: I definitely think you both, (with me) should go swimming with humpback whales In Western Australia when they are migrating north. Something I feel so drawn too being in a big ocean with such amazing animals!
Same! I am also in WA ❤
And the whalesharks!! Im from Exmouth
Or Moorea. ruclips.net/video/Z72rDQqBVpQ/видео.html
And meet up with Max & Occy!
This is mine too ❤
I’m so thrilled for you both to be chasing your passions again after such a hard year. My bucket list item is to convince my almost 70 year old mother to travel to the Norwegian island that she’s named after (Senja) and to then go with her and my stepdad. She’s never been but she talked about wanting to go when she was younger. No time like the present!
I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma around the same time Bec got her diagnosis. Your videos made me feel less alone and they came at the perfect time in my life. I’m happy to share that all of my scans have been showing up cancer free but I am only about halfway through my oral chemo treatment. My bucket list item is to stay in the most unique Airbnb!
I am currently waiting for my tests on a lump. Bec’s journey encouraged me to get checked and to make sure I am healthy for myself, my partner and my kids. This journey has made me think about my life and what I want to do before I die.
My bucket list item is to go to burning man. They have a temple they build every year, people out in photos, write messages and wishes on the wooden walls, at the end of burning man it it burnt down. To symbolize releasing those things and to move on to the next stage of life. Even seeing a video of it made me cry, let alone seeing it in person.
Whether or not I have breast cancer, bec has given me hope about this situation and I truly cannot thank her enough.
Happy travels and here’s to 2023
I hope you make it to Burning Man. It can be a life changing experience.
Sending you positive vibes and lots of love. xx
I hope this bucket list dream comes true for you and I hope everything goes well with your test results. Sending you love and positive vibes ❤️🤗🙏
When I saw your comment, God immediately laid it on my heart to reply. I’m so thankful for your courage and strength and I’m so thankful for you sharing this for those who are going through a similar situation. Even on days you may not feel strong now that you are. God will help you with your strength. He says you are strong and enough and have immense worth. Same goes to any who may see this! Please go listen to the song “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. I’m praying for you I pray that God’s Will may be done in your life whatever it may be. I pray you have peace. I pray you get to have your dream come true! God bless you. God is with you. Thank you for sharing. It’s such a help to so many people God is using you in so many peoples lives, including mine. God has a purpose planned and used for you. You are needed you matter, and you are loved by so many people, but most importantly, by God, He loves you more than anything else He created in the whole universe infinitely. Be you always. I’m praying for you mentally physically spiritually emotionally. I pray that you feel refreshed all throughout your body. #JesusSavesAndLovesAll❤❤🙌🙌😁😭
Prayers 🙏
This looks amazing! One of my largest bucket list items includes a dream trip with my mom. I have a younger sister with severe special needs and for the past 21 years, my mom has given her all to raise my sister who requires 24/7 care. My mom's biggest bucket list items is to visit Antartica, she's had pen pals that worked on McMurdo station there, has essentially watched all documentaries on it, and even had a small saving jar to save up going there until life got in the way. My mom has always been one of my inspirations (she embodies everything it is to being a teacher to students with Special Needs), and giving her all to anyone who's been sick. If there is anyway that I could make this trip possible for us, an entire escape into a new world, I would do it!
Okay so this is for my best friend 🌸
We met in kindergarten, and who would have known she would be the angel in my life. I experienced CSA for 10 years starting at the age of 3. I didn’t know this then, but the innocence I felt was ripped from me was restored in the depths of our friendship. The way our souls connected is a bond we feel endlessly. In a way, she saved my inner child and showed me I can be filled with light and joy. Unfortunately, we grew up far apart from each other. I moved away around the age of 8. We did our best to stay connected but life moves so fast. Now we’re in our mid 20s, she has 5 Children and an amazing husband. I have an amazing partner and beautiful son, and time seems to be moving faster now. We live across the country from each other and I can still feel the love of our friendship strong. We chat as much as we can, but truth is we miss each other so much, more and more everyday. For my bucket list, I always think about surprising her and going on a best friends trip. Doing all the cool things we would dream of doing together when we got older. I would want to make sure it’s all documented so the world can see how important it is to hold your closest friends tight now matter how far they are. Find those who fuel your inner child and love them unconditionally.
Love & light ✨
Thank you Bec & Eamon for being you! So grateful to have such positive influences in my life. Shine on 🫶🏽
Beautifully said!
I’m one month out from my double mastectomy and I still have roughly a year of chemo to go. My bucket list item is to go to Alaska in June to celebrate the summer solstice with my best friend who has been one of my biggest supporters on my journey 💖
Being a young woman myself (35), watching Bec be as strong and resilient as she is has given me hope on some of my darkest days. THANK you both from the bottom of my heart for being so raw with all of us. I can definitely tell you it made a difference #bucketlist2023
I had double mastectomy, because it was a relapse..then many many times of draining fluid out, then chemos again .. now I am still alive
Alaska is my Mom's dream travel destination too! Good luck with your treatments and I wish you a smooth recovery.
#bump #bucketlist2023
Thank you all for the support and likes! Hopefully Eamon and Bec see this!
It’s my senior year in high school and my family was originally planning on doing a trip to London to celebrate, but my mom is battling melanoma cancer so we are waiting for her to recover! London and Paris is the top of my bucket list with my amazing mom!
My grandpa kept a bucket list, and one of the last things on it was to ride in a helicopter. When he unexpectedly passed in 2012, the last thing he did before he left us was ride in a helicopter to the hospital. I’d love to ride on a helicopter over Greece, a country that he loved with many family ties for us. So happy to see y’all traveling again, much love! ❤
Sorry that his helicopter ride was to the hospital, but it's like God knew his timing and wanted him to complete his list. Sounds like a cool grandfather!
I am a 13 year old girl and have been watching your channel for 3 years! I also have been watching kara and Nate’s for 3 years and I have a bucket list item of getting to meet you both. I am in love with your videos and it would be a dream come true to meet you both!
Clare continued to dream big. Traveling is worth more than any material things you can buy. Save at least half of all money and when you can travel travel travel. I’m 60 now and have traveled a bit but wish I would have started younger. Make it a priority in your life. Its a beautiful world out there full of culture, beauty, and adventures just awaiting you. Praying you travel and live your best life. I have a Blenheim Cavalier too named Missy.
@@Sedgies I agree that is my same bucket list
My bucket list item is to visit Liberia, Africa with my sister who was adopted from there when she was 4. We’re both in our 30s now and she hasn’t been back since she was adopted. It would be the trip of a lifetime to go together and experience her culture, learn more about her heritage and where she comes from. Adoption often comes with so much unseen pain, related to identity and understanding one’s self. This journey would be so meaningful for her and it would mean the world to me to share that experience with her! ❤
Love y’all so much, you give me so much inspiration to embrace life. Excited to see what 2023 holds!
Giving this a shot! Even though commenting on stuff like this is waaay out of my comfort zone. Thank you guys for everything
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
Håper du får opplevd drømmen din uansett hva som skjer

So happy to see the post notification from your guys!!! Makes for a perfect Sunday!!! My bucket list is actually not for me, but for my husband of 26 years. He never asks for anything and works so hard for us....but over the past few years he has mentioned wanting to go see the Grand Canyon. Everytime we see a commercial with the Grand Canyon in it or a movie, he always says how he wants to see it more than anything. We are on a fixed budget with absolutely no extra funds to come in to put towards a vacation to go see it. He always does everything he can to support us and make our little life as happy as can be, so to be able to suprise him with a bucket list trip to the Grand Canyon would be....well I'm at a loss for words as to how it would feel. I've been trying for years to figure out a way to get us there and have yet to accomplish it that I have never really sat down and thought about the udder excitment and happiness it would bring to my husband if it really happened!!! The joy of being able to tell my husband that his dream is coming true would be amazing!!! I could finally give back to him all the love and happiness he has given to me ❤️
I can relate to this I got to go see the Grand Canyon a few years ago with my now husband and my 2 sons. Then We went to the Grand Canyon by train a few years later such an amazing trip. I hope you both get to experience this amazing adventure. We went first to the Northern rim and then to the Southern rim. hope you can see both as they are beautiful.
@@kitcatforever Wow!!! I know it was amazing!!! We both love to hike so hiking around there would be icing on the cake! Thanks for the good wishes...I'm not giving up on trying to get us there!!
I am 13 and sense I was 9 I have wanted to buy a VW van to travel the world in. I can’t work yet but I have been trying my best to save up my money so that hopefully by the time I can drive I can live in my van. That is probably the biggest thing on my bucket list and my biggest dream. I love watching your videos, you guys inspire me so much! You guys are my favorite RUclipsrs to watch. ❤️
Can we call it a BECket list since our girl has us all out here living more intentionally?!❤
Struggled with infertility for six years and finally have my triple rainbow baby boy, my biggest bucket list item is to give him as much fun and adventure as possible❤ love you guys!
That's a great idea BECket list. hugs to you

Becket list! BECK YEAH!!!

Growing up in the foster system, I watch the family’s I lived with go on vacation but I would be left with another family for a week or however long. I would love to travel somewhere sunny and sandy. Sounds cliché, but for someone that’s never been, sounds like an adventure. Watching Eamon & Bec has been my connection to traveling without traveling. What a year you all had! Much prayers and love to you all!

I love this one!! I hope you get to cross this off your bucket list someday. 😊
This one breaks my heart. This just proves those people were into fostering for the WRONG reasons! You take kids in to give them a home not a place to sleep grrrrrr
Eamon and Bec you are so inspiring! On my bucket list would be to take my Papa to italy to live out his dream of seeing where his father fought in WW2. He talks about it all the time and it would be so special to take him there. Thank you both for everything you are doing!!
What! That's my dream as well but for myself. My ancestors are from Reggio de Calabria Italy
I’m 19 and I’ve studied Arabic for 7 years but I’ve never had the chance to go to the Middle East. So here’s my shot at crossing that off the bucket list! As it did for most people, COVID totally changed my life. The last 1.5 years of high school were over zoom for me. The state program I received a scholarship to study abroad in Morocco with was cancelled. The pandemic totally reshaped what I thought was possible for my life and changed my trajectory. I got my EMT license and decided I wanted to work in healthcare. Ultimately, I think I would love to work in healthcare in the Middle East and put both my medical and language skills to use! But I know I need to be fluent in Arabic first. After years of online language learning, I know an immersion experience would cement what I’ve learned over the last years. I would love to study abroad in Lebanon and attend a language program there!! I hope to receive financial aid and scholarship from the program but would love help actually getting to Lebanon and being able to travel more widely in the Middle East. I’ve watched you guys since I was in middle school! I’ve watched you guys since I was in Middle School 6 years ago and I’ve always been inspired by the adventurous spirit your channel embodies. Thank you for what you do! And I’m so glad your back at it!!
❤Help finish my late MOM’s bucket list by backpacking Spain for her & leave her ashes there:
First, So glad to see you guys back on the road and you feeling better Becs!!!! Cancer is an f*ckin battle. I lost my mom to breast cancer in 2015. Cancer was so agressive she was diagnosed in January, completed her chemo, and was supposed to be fine. But 3 weeks before my wedding that October, she went in for a headache and it was then we learned it metastasized to her brain and my mom was given 3 weeks to live. Despite that, she was so determined to make it to my wedding and even declined to take morphine so she could be lucid. She was too weak to walk me down the isle, but I am so eternally grateful she was there to give me away. My mom was and is my hero and gave her whole life to raise myself and my 5 sisters after our das cheated and left her. She never complained, just worked to make our dreams come true, laying her own down.
Her greatest dream, was to go to Spain, she used to say-“ I don’t care where I live once I get there, leave me to live in the streets”. I planned to go when I finished grad school and take her ashes with me but didn’t get to because of well 2020. So that is my bucket list, to finish my moms bucket list for her by backpacking for one month in Spain for my mom and spread her ashes there.
Love you guys!!!! Have the best bucket list year ever!!!!!🎉🎉
Oh my goodness !!!! Everyone better like this comment !!! This beautiful soul deserves to have her eternal resting place be her dream destination, it’s so hard to be a single mom but we never complain because of our children are our greatest love !!!
@@jenniekmonterio4316 thank you Jennie. I couldn’t have said it better, she may be gone but she still deserves the world!
@@ciarahelm9440 ❤️ Your’re so welcome !! She sounds like she was an amazing Mom & raised a very thoughtful daughter ! I’m rooting for you to get to Spain for your Mom !!!!
My dad passed away when I was 3 and since then it's been just me, my brother, and my mom. She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on my 13th birthday nearly 5 years ago. The thought of losing her too absolutely shattered me. My brother and I were 13 and 14 at the time and couldn't truly grasp how serious and scary the situation was, but not once did my mom show any fear. She showed strength, patience, and always had such a good attitude despite how sick or serious the situation really was. She truly is the strongest and most selfless person I know. She was always worried about our happiness over her own. Thankfully she is now cancer-free and still the bad-ass woman I have always known and loved.
Watching your journey Bec, has been so beautifully heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. You continued to hold onto that positive attitude and I truly do admire you for that. And Eamon, you have really been the best partner for Bec. A strong support system is so needed in a time of uncertainty and I hope you know how appreciated you really are.
A bucket-list item that my mom and I have always had is taking a trip to Europe specifically Italy and just absolutely indulging. Our love language has always been food and we have always dreamed of taking a trip around Europe and eating our hearts out. In all honesty, my mom has no idea who you guys are (she's a millennial after all lol), but I just know that she would adore your kind hearts.
Honestly, we wouldn't care what we do! Not only is it the Bucket List Year, I have coined it the YEAR OF YES! Say yes to things because as we all know too well, life is precious. Love you guys!!!
And on a completely separate and more selfish note (just to throw it out there): My bucket list item is going to an F1 race in another country! I've recently gotten super into Formula 1 and the culture and experience of going to a race seems so exciting and exhilarating. Just thought I'd throw that out there for fun :)
Hi my name is Mia and my Partner's name is Dominic.
I have always had an itch for traveling but have always been hesitant to leave the safety of my homeland with its first world comforts. I've been taught to be so cautious of life, so much so that I think I have held back on opportunities because of fear. Eamon and Bec were the original people to inspire me to travel, so recently I took a daring leap and went on a solo adventure traveling a few states and seeing a few friends. I loved it. After that I have become obsessed. Eamon and Bec helped me broaden my horizons past traveling within my own country.
Dominic is a total biology nerd and I am an artist through and through. Recently we lost his uncle to ALS. The shock of loosing him, and heaps of previous trauma, has left Dom with severe anxiety. I feel helpless as a partner in his healing and grieving process (other than offering up resources like BetterHelp). His uncle did more for him than any other parental figure in his life. He is a wonderful man because of him.
Recently we have been having more conversations about anxiety and death. More specifically the feeling feeling of never truly living, and the toll it has taken on both of us. Nobody wants to have regrets on their deathbed, but especially us.
I have a lot of dreams but mine aren't as specific as his. I have always wanted to travel but never really knew where, I have always wanted to help people but not sure which, until I met him. Ever since we started dating, Dominic shared his dreams in detail. I fell in love with how he dares to dream. His biggest dream is to travel to Japan. Across the world in a nation where we don't speak the language. At first I was like "no way I am going to do that". But persistently and in detail he would nerd out about the different species of animals on that side of the world. With he passion for the island nation a world away my fears slowly started to melt, just enough to start hoping a little. He ignited something in me. A dream to cling too.
We are young, broke, and hungry for life. It doesn't have to happen now, but I am manifesting it happening because it will. I won't let time pass us by.
Thank you to anyone who read this
At 62 years of age and after having so many amazing adventures, blessings, peace and joy over the years. The only thing I can think of right now for a bucket list is that everyone rally around Sarah and Luca of LEAW. Subscribe to their channel, watch their videos and keep them in your heart and prayers. They are an amazing Italian couple who have a precious 7 month old daughter named Luce. Luca/husband/daddy has recently had 3 major strokes. He is very young and it came out of nowhere. My bucket list is that they will be flooded with support and love as they navigate the path to recovery. Thank you and God bless.
Well said. Sarah is dealing with the tragedy as best she can. I feel so bad that this has happened to them, right before their next adventure. They need all the love and support they deserve.
@@wendywalsh-pardey9439 Amen. That means, I agree. Thank you Wendy.
I am 5 years older than you and have started my retirement journey. Less purple shoes, more road trips.
I love them, their daughter is absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing this! ❤
I went over and subscribed to their channel. The first thing I thought was he looks like Emon. I hope everyone will go over and subscribe to their channel!!!!
This entry is for my dad. He's 75. He's gone through a ton and experienced a ton of loss (his first wife and his oldest son at different times in his life). He's the most kind and humble guy I know. He provided for us and paid off his house by working at Safeway as a grocer. He has always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride over the Grand Canyon. I've never been able to afford to take him and I think it'd be the best way to tell him thanks for all he has done for me. Thanks for listening guys.
That sounds lovely WJ. Hope it happens for your dad!
Reading the other comments has inspired me to share mine too. Thank you, everyone! And thank you to you both, Eamon and Bec, for giving someone the opportunity to live their life dream.
My sister was big on bucket lists. She had her own list but in January 2022 she died after a devastatingly short second fight with cancer and she couldn't tick off some of the things she had on hers. The main thing that I have been wanting to tick off of my bucket list for years has been to renovate my own van and an addition to my bucket list now is to call my van, Suzanne, after my beautiful, brave sister. My sister inspires me every day to live my life to the fullest and I have presents that she bought me for the van ready to have pride of place in her.
You are both so inspiring. I wish you all the health and happiness in your lives and can't wait to continue following your journeys. Much love 💞
I found this channel in the midst of my own health struggles. I was about to graduate college, live abroad, and had plans to solo travel around the world (with my cat!) when last year I got very sick with several chronic illnesses from a genetic connective tissue disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Bec gave me so much strength through my own challenges, I really felt like I was living her life, feeling stuck and like my life too was on stop.
Thankfully, I've been doing so much better lately, working hard to get better, and am finishing up my college degree! Because of my illness, I'm no longer able to travel like I used to, on my feat all the time going from hostel to hostel. Instead, through your videos & other youtubers, I've been inspired to change directions, and have been saving up for getting a Van to travel the world. I'd love to make this dream come true - or just as well, to go somewhere awesome with you all in your own van and meet a fellow warrior who has fought alongside me this past year, a few thousand miles away.
xx Mimi, sending love from San Francisco
I am so grateful you made it through this year and you are getting married
So are we 🥹. What a year it’s been!!!
This is my very first You-Tube comment. After watching you guys for the last couple of years. Having enjoyed all the wonderful moments you have shared and also actually having cried through the rough times you went through, I just want to thank you for giving us joy, strength and lots of heart felt moments. One thing on my bucket list is to travel to JAPAN and visit the "Snow Monkeys" in Yamanouchi.
My daughter did this! She sent me a video clip of it. I hope you get to go, it looked amazing.
Yes! This has been mine as well! And to see the cherry blossoms bloom!
@@victoriam4502 yes, this too. I find the Japanese culture very interesting.
Snorkel on the shores of Japan my father was a vet and passed 2 months ago and told me and my son so many stories from when he served… beautiful memories forever ❤
So glad you guys are doing this no one deserves it more! Have fun and be safe sending all the love and good vibes
Meeting you two and possibly going on a van trip in Canada would be a dream. I cannot begin to explain the amount of healing and soul-searching your videos have led me to. There are so many amazing things I could list on a bucket list, but as my mom has taught me, it's not what you're doing... but who you're with. I genuinely think you two have so much positive energy, life experience, wisdom to be passed down, and love to be shared. That is something you can't put a price on. It's a priceless gift to create memories with such beautiful souls as yourselves. I have traveled the world, and experienced many hardships in my young life of 20 years. After losing my father to his alcohol addiction last year, I decided to study abroad in Italy to find myself. Even though I am across the world from America, I find peace watching your videos. I tear up with Bec and admire her ability to be vulnerable. I have a deep desire to learn how to wear my heart on my sleeve again after so much loss and pain. The amount of strength she has, and support Eamon has shown, has to be contagious. To soak in even a slight ray of that sunshine would be a memory worth passing down. These kind of friendships formed are what I seek in my life more so than any location or materialistic purchase. I would be honored to learn from you both on a personal level and simply walk side by side with you in life either continuing virtually, or for a brief moment on a little van trip. What a dream that would be. Thank you for being such lights in this world and know that your love reaches far beyond the internet and genuinely affects lives for the better. Love you guys
The northern lights with my mom, she’s was recently diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last month and waiting because journey has help me and my mom go about this so much easier knowing shes not alone ❤
Just great to see you guys back to doing what you do best.
My bucket list is to see Bob get to NZ
I’m 75 and my personal bucket is to keep as healthy as possible
Take my 14yr daughter to see the northern lights, its a dream we both share. She’s the kindest person I know and always puts others before herself. Treating her to a trip of a life time would be such an incredible experience. Can only imagine how an experience like that would change her life going forward.
O goodness the northern lights ..fingers crossed ..❤
We love you guys! 💕 Our bucket list is to fulfill our daughter’s bucket list which was her last wish to us❤🌻Bec, so proud of you! Be strong, stay inspirational and know that your struggle it’s only temporary!!! 🥰🤗🌻
Bec and Eamon - both superstars in your own right, sharing your cancer journey - Bec was raw and real and so inspirational... and what a partner Eamon was throughout. Thank you.
My bucket list item is actually for my daughter (M). She is now 18. When she was not quite 10 she lost her sister/best friend (C) in a tragic accident. Her sister/my daughter was only 12, she had only been 12 for 12 days when she was taken in an accident. She was out living life with all the joy she sparked when the boat she was on was hit by another boat. She never came home. We have never been the same.
M has never recovered. Three years after losing her sister she got a tumour near her brain. She had surgery and recovered over the space of a year. M lost all her friends from her grief and her illness. M then turned down a very dark road in to mental health issues and has had uncountable hospital admissions and has even attempted to end her life more than once. As a mum this is heart crushing. Then her tumour returned just before she turned 18. So another round of surgery and dealing with horrible symptoms, of which she is still battling.
I just want my daughter to see there is so much to look forward to, and so much to live for. I want her to see that her life, even though she feels so broken has so much potential. She has always wanted to fly business class and I would love to give her that experience, but I would love her destination to be to a place where she can help ie an orphanage in a disadvantaged country or an animal sanctuary. I need her to be able to see that even though is feels so dark now....there is hope and light within reach.
I think it was cathartic for me just to write this, there are so many worthy bucket list winners..... keep spreading your happiness Bec and Eamon. Thank you from a mum in Aus.
Wow, as a mom, I am so touched by your testimony! I am so sorry for your loss! Keeping you and your daughter in my prayers! Life is a precious gift not to be wasted. Yet in Christ we have the promise of eternal life! I pray that you can find hope and healing in the author and perfecter of our faith and the creator of life! Be blessed Jodie! You and your daughter are not alone in this journey! 🙏🤗❤️🩹🤗🙏
Eamon and Bec you 2 rock. My bucket list item is to take my dad who was diagnosed with vascular dementia this year on a Rocky Mountaineer train trip in British Columbia. He has lost so much of his memory in the past 2 years, I want one last trip with him as the daughter he remembers. Keep living your best lives ❤
Watching the sunrise in the Serengeti with the most amazing animals. Watching animal/nature documentaries growing up is what sparked my love of ecosystems and encouraged me to get my bachelors of biology.
I want to meet Eamon and Bec, who have given me hope in tough times, I am only a few hours away from their cottage or from their business. You guys are great and make all Canadians proud because you represent all that is good and worthwhile in life.
My bucket list item is to be a passenger in my husband’s fully restored ‘65 Chevy Nova. He was gifted the car by his sweet parents as a high school graduation gift (37 years ago). We met shortly after that at college in Chicago, but I never got to see the car until we moved back to Virginia after college. Over the years, the car has deteriorated and is long past driving. He holds on to it though, because it gives him a connection to his parents (who have both passed away), and he’s just crazy about it - hoping and praying that one day it’ll run again. I think it would be the perfect way of giving back to him after his many years in the mental health profession. He is a much-loved counselor, and is so dedicated to his work, but it’s exhausting sometimes, and he often needs a boost. Driving in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with the windows down, in his ol’ Chevy, would be like a dream come true for us, and something we could finally check off our bucket list. Thank you for giving this wonderful gift to the world; we all love and appreciate you two! ❣
Love this! 💓
❤❤❤
That's the dream!
Happy Bucket List year! I have always wanted to go to an Elephant Sanctuary in Africa to help for a few days and cuddle a baby elephant. They are such emotionally intelligent animals that manage to seem graceful despite their size!
I love this idea you two!!! My bucket list would be for my brother Mike. He is a 2 time cancer survivor. The first time he was 7 and the second time he was just starting college. When he was cleared from isolation following a stem cell transplant, the pandemic hit forcing him to isolate even more from the world. So much of his life has been spent in quarantine. He's now 23 and it would be amazing for him to have a converted van so he could explore and make up for time lost ❤️❤️❤️
Chelsea, have you thought about doing a gofundme and also reach out to different cancer organizations? May your brother Mike get his wishes. Contact Trent and Allie, from Mountain Made Van, I things that is what their shop is called. They have a RUclips channel. Anyway they might be able to help! Best wishes with everything. Much love.
Chelsea. You might want to contact Trent and Allie (RUclipsrs) with Mountain Made Vans! Tell them your story and see if they have any ideas how to help you make your wish come true. Also, you could make a gofundme in your brother’s behalf as well as reach out to Cancer organizations. May God make your wish come true. With much love. ❤️🩹🤗💕🙏
Traveling more is huge for me because I have young kids and my husband and I tend to use them as an excuse not to go anywhere because it’s so much more difficult packing everything we need and finding hotels and airbnbs suitable for our needs. We have talked about building our own van for a few years, but haven’t been able to make them time.
A van would solve so many of our problems from where to stay and making it kid friendly, to carrying everything we need with us!
About 10 years ago I felt like I had checked off all my bucket list items. I wanted to dream up more, but then life got in the way. An extremely stressful career in emergency services, a divorce, my brother being the victim of a senseless homicide, the pandemic. Life has just been survival mode for so long that I didn't get a chance to rethink my "list". Recently, that's what I've started doing and an old dream surfaced to the top. Bike touring. In Madagascar. With a group of new adventurous souls that hopefully are to become new friends. Have a great year you two, can't wait to see what you get up to.
Something on my bucket list is to take a multi-day dog sled adventure in the Canadian Arctic. It's probably not going to happen directly for me at this point, but I would love to see you guys take on that adventure. Watching your love and strength and togetherness this past year has been incredibly inspiring. I'm so excited about what's in the store.
Eamon and Bec, you two have been an inspiration to me and my fiancée since we started our van journey in 2017. Watching how much you care for each other and the love you show to strangers you meet along your journey makes us want to embody that attitude with every Sunday's video.
This year, we purchased a home on good sized plot of land with some close friends of ours in Colorado. There are many bucket list ways we want to use this property to help benefit the community around us, and two of those are a large community regenerative farm and a creative makers space for wood, metal and art.
We have the land to offer, but not the means to fully get these projects started yet. We would love love love to partner with you to make this dream come true and make a impact in the lives of Northern Colorado residents!
michael's fiance here! Hope we get to meet up with you Eamon and Bec at some point even if not through this bucket list challenge. I feel like we have so many similar dreams with our property as you two, especially when you were talking about buying that campsite property!
Michael and Mikaela are the real deal. Community is their biggest passion. They have been inviting others to crazy trips and amazing camp experiences. Now that they have a space to grow their community and welcome others, I am excited for the magic to unfold. You two are an inspiration to me and I can't wait to come see your property! Love you guys.
Yay! A Colorado native here. I'm in Longmont and would absolutely love to have Eamon and Bec come visit!!
As the 64 year old Father of Michael he and his amazing fiancé Mikaela have invited me to move from Phoenix to Colorado to be with them in whatever way I can enjoy and contribute to this bucket list dream of theirs while it unfolds.
So…Why Not?
The next leg of my journey will be with them beginning December 1.
Eamon and Bec,
watching your videos I can see why you are the people they’ve chosen for Inspiration.
Michael & Mikaela’s heart for each other and community are your kind of people and so worth investing and partnering with.
In your own way your showing people other ways to live a fulfilling and impactful life with incredible honesty.
Keep believing in your journey and Stay the Course!
Michael and Mikaela are awesome and such welcoming, adventurous people!
Seeing Bec share her cancer story was something I was deeply moved by. I was diagnosed with 2 types of lymphomas on New Years 2021 and have undergone 2 years of treatment since. The diagnosis stage was unfortunately very traumatic and also involved IVF. As I enter my last year of treatment, my husband and I are planning a road-trip through Europe’s rural countryside for summer 2023. This trip is to celebrate my life and contribute to my healing. I originally wanted to road-trip through Ukraine and visit the places where I grew up, I haven’t come back in almost 20 years. However the plans had to change and we will be traveling through near by countries instead.
The way I found Eamon and Bec in the first place was a few years ago by googling van life ideas and possibilities. I’ve always dreamt to be a part time nomad. We don’t have the opportunity yet to build a van or buy a completed one, so we will be renting a car. My bucket list item for 2023 is to road-trip through Europe and meet locals. Being autistic makes meeting others very difficult. Not sure how we will find the courage and make it happen exactly, but after watching Eamon and Becs travels thats something I really want to do this coming year.
Why do I feel I so often see cancer linked with IVF?
@@tracygarrett3952 Unfortunately, chemotherapy can damage some or all of a woman's eggs. Some women choose to harvest their eggs and freeze them prior to chemo.
My husband and I love your videos! When you first asked for bucketlist comments I thought because we are twice your age and not athletic, I shouldn't comment. Sitting in the hospital yesterday while my husband had a heart procedure for the 5th time then receiving not great news from the results we had a conversation that yesterday was the 1st day of the 2nd half of our lives and it's time to live! So, here I am! One thing on our bucketlist is to take our family on an Alaskan cruise and have some excursions of fishing and seeing whales! We have 2 sons that are 22 and 24 and it would be a DREAM to be able to do this! Thank you for being an inspiration for our strength and to go and live and make adventures happen!
I started following you two when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer on 4/18/19. Your vlogs have gotten me through so many tough and still trying times. I am currently stable with maintenance chemo. I have laughed and cried with you both and my bucket list is to come hang out at the cabin with you two.
Greece has always been on my bucket list, the last year I have been taking care of my parents especially my dad who survived two aneurysms fifteen years ago. Speaking with them I realized I need to start living my life so there are no regrets when I get to their age. They came to America seeking a better life and they are happy with what they accomplished. It's time for me to make sure there is nothing left on my bucket list when I'm much older. You guys helped me through the pandemic. Thank you. And why do I always cry now when I watch you video's????
I promised my autistic son a trip to Greece. I can't wait to make it happen. We had it planned when covid shut down the world. Have to plan it again
Greece is one of my favourite countries I've visted
Bec’s hair is SO adorable on her, it’s hard to even picture her with long hair again. The little pixie cut just suits her so well. I know it wasn’t by choice, but she sure is adorable!
I totally agree! 💯

My name comes from my uncle who was lost in the sea escaping from Cuba as a "balsero". I have the exact same name and I always had a huge connection with the sea.
That's why doing an atlantic crossing in a sailboat would be my bucket list choice.
Your name actually has got northern origins. It is a very old name sprung from Scandinavia. So maybe you have got that background in your family too. Greetings from Sweden!
Eamon comes alive when Bec is around. What a precious thing to share together. Truly better together 😊
You both deserve the world & I’m so glad it’s finally once again yours to conquer. Cannot wait to be taken along as you help people achieve their dreams 🙌🏼💛
Hello Eamon & Bec! I found your RUclips channel when I was in the hospital with my daughter this past 3 years have been a major roller coaster starting with my sister who lost the battle of depression and suicide in 2020. I was 3 month pregnant when I found out. This was about when I found your channel and would live for your weekly videos! You guys made me so happy and encouraged me to keep going. That ultimately messed with my mental health. I had my baby girl in April 2021. In June she was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia she was born with no bile ducts so bile was leaking into her body and poisoning her for two months. That caused her to have fibrosis of the liver and because she had fibrosis it was basically too late to save her native liver but they still wanted to try so she had her first surgery at 2 months old. From there we lived in the hospital for over 30 days. We knew right away the surgery wouldn’t work so she was put on the Seattle Childrens transplant list the beginning of Aug. We we’re struggling to maintain weight and she was labeled ftt (failure to thrive) my girl was 5 months and 9 - 10 pounds so she needed a brovic it’s basically an iv line in her chest and the line when in surgical in her neck and came out in her chest all under the skin she had that from September to December I was a 24/7 nurse and mom to two other toddlers too. We would feed and draw blood through it. We carried iv cords around for months. In December 8th 2021 it was like any normal night but she was a little extra fussy. Next thing we know she’s puking up blood a lot of it over and over we call emergencies service and emt comes and take us to the children’s hospital the whole time I’m having a panic attack the emt doctor is holding me while I’m holding my baby but he also tells me he’s going to try his best to get her there safely and alive but he can’t promise anything only try. We finally make it over 20 people are in a room waiting so many watching. The death social worker comes and talks to us I don’t really wanna talk I just wanna get 4 hours away to our team who listed us for transplant so they can help her. They stabilize her that night and the next morning we’re life flighted 4 hours away. When we get there they tell us that with everything happening we could be considered status 1A so any liver in the PNW is OURS I was still really nervous so my sister who’s o positive flew up here from GA when she got here they did test right away to get her ready for surgery because unos isn’t guaranteed. On December 11th my sister texted me she’s a 100% match we kinda already knew she was so we were just waiting for the official go too maybe 10 mins after my sister texted me the phone in our icu rings my fiancé missed the call. They called back again like 10 mins later it was our nurse to tell us Unos Called and we got a deceased match in Spokane and they’re on there way to go get it. My heart sank god answered my prayers. She got two matches while on the phone her dad told them the college said my sister was a match too! She was so excited she was like this is great if the liver is damaged she still has part of her auntie. The deceased liver was a great liver and split in two it saved an adult and my baby girl. The surgery lasted 18 hours on December 12th 2021 my girl was given a second chance at life. We lived near the hospital at The RMCH for 4 months. We’ve been home now since March. Life’s been good we’ve had a few rejections episodes but have been saved. I thought I experienced enough heartache and I was done BUT on July 15th 2022 my dad was murdered by his girlfriend she shot him in the face and ran away on her bike she has not been found and rumors around town is she’s in Mexico but who knows. When Bec got her diagnosis we were in the hospital with our girl she had just had her surgery and I was sitting with my iPad and my headphones and just started crying my fiancé asked me what I was watching and I said Bec has breast cancer. I never missed a release date on a video I always watched them right away you guys are really my favorite people. My 2023 bucket list is to marry my fiancé he proposed to me last year in October and all the stuff I’ve been through I just want to marry him and go on a vacation. Anywhere just to go somewhere hot and not think about anything and live in the moment. I lost so much and with almost watching your kid die in your arms does something to you. I haven’t had a sit down moment from life in almost 3 years and experienced so much pain. We’ve lost our savings to buy a home through it all the I feel like I lost myself through this pain. My bucket list can be a million of miles but the biggest one is a break/trip from life.
With lots of love Shay 🫶🏽😊
(EDIT) If you read all the way through thank you sm that means a lot. I rarely feel like I’m a seen person and I posted this thinking no one would read or see it. Thank you. I know Oakleigh will love all the love and prayers sent her way. She’s my little fighter. I owe everything to her.
I would like to nominate you. You deserve to go someplace. I read your whole story and it’s amazing what happens and the amazing things that happened and the not so amazing and then horrible things that happen. In the next video that comes up put in a very short version of this and then your desire for a wedding and a vacation. Do you mention your long post from this video if anyone wants to read the whole story. I would vote for you. Sending blessings your way from God.
Wowsers!!! I hope you’re ok and am really glad to hear that you’re looking forward to some light at the end of the tunnel.
@@jeannerountree952 Awh thank you for reading I don’t normally comment on videos or think people will read it. And I definitely will I didn’t realize how long it was then when I posted it I was like woah 🥹 You’re so sweet I definitely should find a shorter way to say all of this. I was just babbling and when I get started on these past few years I just don’t stop.
@@LucyBarnard I am. I’m happy that I can truly say I’m at peace and okay with everything that’s happened and just ready to live. I’ve prayed a lot and sometimes you just have to let go and let god to turly feel. A lot of bad things have happened to our family but we just gotta stay positive because it could be worse. We’ve met many friends some are family now because biliary Atrisa brings everyone close some people we know have their child to this illness and I still have mine so all I can do is be grateful she wasn’t apart of the hundreds who lose to this battle yearly and we know her life isn’t guaranteed and I can’t waist time with my precious baby girl worrying about all the sad and bad things that happened. It took me a while to get here but I’m glad I’m here. 🫶🏾
Dear Shay: I am speachless (a rarity) after reading your story ... Oh my God in heaven I don't know how you and your family got through this harrowing time?!? I am terribly sorry about the brutal death of your Dad at the hand of his girlfriend, but am so relieved your baby survived; and, I pray you will be able to marry your partner in 2023. Be well, take some time out for yourself whenever possible and continue to keep the faith! Hugs from California 💛🍁🧡🍁🤎
I have been struggling with drugs and alcohol addictions since I was 13 after being abused as a child. I have converted my own van (twice now) from being inspired from you guys and also Kinging it (I'm from Wales 🤟) I've always wanted to do a motorbike adventure across Indonesia 🙌🙈 I'm a learner motorbike right now, but I'm trying to save some pennies to do my test so I can live best life on the open road. Bec and Eamon, when I watch your videos I get face ache from smiling from start to finish! You guys fill me with so much hope and happiness, I love you guys so much 💗 ❤️❤️❤️ and I love you Amy and Craig! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, 2023 needs some light and some adventure and LOTS of joy! I'm so happy you're looking forward to it all.
I have spent the past 11 years at home, birthing and raising our lovely 4 children with my husband. 3 years ago, right before the pandemic started, he had a stroke when our youngest was 4 months old. We've spent the last 3 years being grateful for every day and trying to squeeze in every moment as a family. After a recent cross-America move we're determined to have more adventures all together. One of our bucket list trips for 2023 would be 2 weeks traveling around Ireland. We want to camp/hike in the Wicklow Mountains, swim in the sea with the Happy Pear crew, visit Giants Causeway, drive the Ring of Kerry, see the Aran Islands, drink hot whiskey with locals and watch some Gaelic football. Maybe 3 weeks? Maybe forever!
Hoping all of your adventures come to fruition with all the ones you love!
