Weird, for some reason I haven't been getting the notifications for your videos. You look really pretty with your hair down. What a nice tribute to your husband. Sharing fond memories is helpful I believe.
Thank you, Dede! Have you enabled RUclips notifications? I think there is channel notifications and then RUclips notifications. That might be it. Take care!
That was a beautiful remembrance Rosalie. Keep your head up you're doing an amazing job! It's obvious that you are all healing and thriving as a family and that's what's important God bless! 🤗
I cannot tell you enough how so proud I am of you how far you have came you and the children please don't let these negative comments get to you the haters the trolls so cold-hearted you just remember you are doing great and you look fabulous❤
Rosalie, you look absolutely beautiful. I am sure your husband would be so proud of you as I am. It's always difficult the first few years when birthdays and anniversaries come. You are weathering this with such dignity and grace.
When someone is so close to you passes away it's a tough road ahead you will remember the holidays birthday etc I think you are doing an amazing job keep your head held high and thank God everyday you are so strong ❤☮️🕊
Thank you so much, Rosalie for sharing your husband's story with us! Your kids look t like him so much in the pictures! I know it has to be very hard for you this time of year! We love you & your kids so much!
Wonderful tribute! Thanks for sharing the childhood photos of him at the end! Boy, the kids sure did inherit many of their physical traits from him! Especially Empress!
Rosalie you are absolutely beautiful in this video. I am so sorry. Sorry that you are going through this and especially with the children. I must say that you are such a wonderful person. Amazing mom, daughter, sister, friend, and wife. Watching your progress in the last year has really been incredible. Please try and take some time to pamper yourself sweetheart, you most definitely deserve it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your husband's beginning life story!!! It's a wonderful way of celebrating his life. I hope to hear more stories. Keep staying strong, and may you continue to prosper forward in your own life journey. ❤
Hi Rosalie, I am thinking of you on your husband’s birthday. The pictures are sweet. Sounds like neither of you had an easy childhood. How wonderful that you are able to bring happiness to your children. Have your seeds started to grow? Sending love 💕
I absolutely love your videos, many of us want you to stay around. I’m so sorry about your husband, it’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year since he’s been gone. Happy Belated Heavenly Birthday to him.
I loved hearing more of your wonderful husbands life...he seemed like such a loving man...20 years together!! Sadly not many stay together that long... You both fit like a puzzle piece ❤ Your a strong women and you show us how we can make it thru...so thank you!!! Hope you make more videos...I love them
God Bless you Rosalie, losing a loved one is so hard. You’re so blessed you had 20 years with him and cherish those memories with your children. He’s in all your hearts now and wants you all to be happy ❤ grieving is really love💕 , I lost my son and his sisters (4) all lost their brother, it will never be the same, but our love and memories keep us going. Wishing you and your children well🙏🏻❤️
Hello Rosalie, Once again, it's lovely to see. ❤ Your stories are always so interesting, and each one is woven into the beautiful tapestry of your life. Wishing you comfort and strength during this time, Rosalie. Your love for Eugene remains special. (If you were closer, I'd have you over for a cup of tea and a good old chat! I'm in the UK. I've been thinking of you specifically for the last two days, wondering where you are... And then: a video today = awesome! Stay strong, beautiful lady.}
Rosalie, First of all you look really great!! You are doing a great job with the children. They are so much calmer and seem to really understand you are the only one taking care of them. They love you so much! Keep up the amazing job with your children. ❤
Thank you for sharing your husbans story with us !! So nice to see you Rosalie.!! You look amazing. Your children look so much like their dad!!! Love you❤
You look great my dear and I am so very proud of you!! I'm sorry you find yourself alone raising your beautiful children, but you are stronger than you know and God will provide your every need. I wish you all the best!!!❤
Not a day has gone by I haven't thought of you. I am proud of you. You are a good leader of your family. Please be positive, happy and know God is holding you up. 😊
Wow, I am honoured Angela. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and words, it is so uplifting to me. Bless you, and know that you are such a wonderful person, God is happy :)
This was a very touching story. I’m sure you will miss your husband very much on his birthday. May God bless you and give you and your family strength and many blessings. Your looking very beautiful. ❤️🙏❤️
Thanks for sharing this story Rosalie! What an adorable baby your precious husband was!! My heart hurts for your loss. I think you once again meant to say 2023 instead of 2003. It’s ok, I know you’re still grieving. Just want you to be aware of the date discrepancy. Hope the kids are all doing well! You’re doing amazing despite your pain. You’re not alone as there are many people here that, care myself included. Please take care of yourself! 😃🐝🐞🌹
You are amazing, Luisa! I didn't want to cause you any pain, sorry if it was difficult watching this video. Yes, I keep making that error with the year. It's a habit I need to break, thanks for letting me know. You are so kind and I really appreciate it. You to care too, and thank you!
You can tell the love you have for your husband is deep, the way you tell the story, its almost as though you grew up with him, even though you didn’t. You both grew up to be good, loving parents despite not having the same loving foundation in your own childhoods. Thanks for sharing Rosalee.
Thank you for sharing those baby pictures. Your little ones resemble your husband so much. I'm sorry he isn't here to celebrate his birthday this year. As you've said, you figured he'd pass ahead of you due to his age but you're still never ready for it. Maybe you can remember happier days on his birthday. You and the kids have come a long way and I'm sure he'd be so proud of you all. Sending you love and blessings. You're a strong woman and you'll get through this. ❤
Sorry for your loss. I felt the Anniversary of his death was soon. I have the same monkey. I kept it all these years. Hope you are all well. Have a wonderful summer. Shannon
Rosalie, I have been keeping you in my Thoughts and Prayers. You are looking really pretty. I'm hoping you will hold onto all the Happy Memories. I wish you'd give update on your Precious children. Did the government make it so you and children can stay in the home since you lost your husband? I want you to know many people care of you and the children very much. If you find the time would you possibly do more family oriented activities? Just a thought. How have things gone since the neighborhood bully? Bless you my Sweet Friend. ❤🙏🏻🥰😊
what an interesting story-it is good that you have the pictures and story to go with them so they can be passed down to your children. Thank you for sharing.
Rosalie you have grown so much within this last year! Most people learn life lessons through trauma . Your husband did pass young compared to most but it was his time. Keeping your husband’s memories and passing them on is important & I would suggest writing them down as you know and remember them. Your children will appreciate the history when they are adults.
I somewhat understand the pain . I lost my dad may 15th. I watch all your video's. Your a fantastic mother. You should be very proud ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Love from Ottawa
I am honoured to hear that Christine! You are a remarkable person! The city where I met and where my husband was born and grew up is Cornwall, just 1 hour from Ottawa. That is actually where we bought my engagement ring and his wedding ring! Take care my friend!
I'm humbled to be able to sit here and listen to your story, Rosalie. It was beautiful to listen to, and thank you for sharing those photos! He was such a cutie, even in girl clothing when he was a baby lol. 🥰
I think you mean 2023 ?? I understand your pain ...life can be so hard. I do think you dreaming about your husband a lot is a good thing. It helps you to process it better. 💐 Wishing you all the strenght to pull trough! 💐
I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so painful to lose a spouse. I've been watching since you first lost him and you have come a long way! I hope you are proud of the job you've done as a single mom! Keep it up, your honesty is appreciated. Much ❤ to all of you!!
Much love to you too, Debra! Thank you for your kindness and support. I know my husband would be proud and that gives me comfort (although it still hurts.) Take care and best wishes!
I understand exactly what you’re feeling. I suddenly lost my husband May 17. His birthday was June 19. I’ve been heartbroken. My heart goes out to you. You’ve been so brave and you’re such a good mother. I look forward to your videos. Anyone saying anything negative should just watch something else. That’s so rude . Happy birthday Eugene. God bless you.
Wow. I find it so endearing seeing olden day photos. I was born in 1956 & my parents had a son first then me then my dad decided he wanted another. Then my sister was born nearly six years after me. And she was a spoilt brat. For some reason mum favoured her. We didn’t have much food or clothes back then. But my sister was chubby & dressed warm & and a real turd. She still is today. My brother passed away over about 36 years ago. I don’t understand how a mother cannot want their own child. But I love kids so I had 4 sons & would have easily had more but would have loved a girl. I could never have dressed one as a girl though. I find that a bit odd. I enjoyed that story Rosie. Sad as it was. The things that happened so many years ago. And you will always miss your love. How could you not feel like a part of you is missing. But you are a wonderful women & mother & he is watching over you. I believe that. 🥰🥰
As always Marg, I love hearing from you! Sorry to hear about your hard times, so glad they are gone into the past. I have heard about the "baby" in the family (last child born) being the spoilt one and coddled by the parents. My sister thought that was me because I was the last born, but in this situation she was so wrong. If you haven't received your letter yet, I expect it should arrive soon. If for some reason it doesn't come, let me know and I will send you another one right away! Hope to hear from you again Marg, and please keep that warm heart of yours shining!
Hi Rosalie, I hope you will FOREVER feel your beloved husband with you! It is so hard to be separate from our loved ones. :( I know the separation isn't forever, but I also know if can feel that way. I hope God will bring you great peace and comfort. Thanks for sharing the pictures! Empress looks so much like him! You look beautiful! Best wishes in the next weeks! 🙏
@@Momof8kids Thank YOU! I feel a kindred connection to you! You are very very GOOD and SWEET. Thank you for your prayers! :) I do have a sick father, that I am helping to take care of. It's hard, and I know I can't compare it to what you have gone through, but I do feel grief lately. I also recenty lost my beloved furbaby. I know these situations are different from yours, but we all go through tough times! I'm glad we can pray for each other. God Bless always! :)
@@jenniferharper1875 Jennifer, you are authentic and a very good person. I am honoured. My husband told me “goodness generates more goodness.” Thank you for sharing the goodness that you are with my family and myself. Take care my friend.
Hey @Rosalie Mom of 8 eugenics looks exactly like his daddy!!! Girlfriend you look fabulous! My oldest is 29 her bf is 59. It works for them. Your kids are perfect! You are a wonderful mom! We love you sweet Rosalie. Keep kicking ass. 💞💕💗💙💙💙💙💙💙
Sorry for the delayed response Kiymee! You are always so uplifting and thoughtful! Well, if it's working out for them then you can't argue with that. :) Sending you love as always, Kiymee! Take care!
Happy 1st Heavenly Birthday, Eugene. (Belated). Today is my Dad’s Birthday. We lost him in 2013. Keeping you and the kids in my thoughts and prayers, Rosalee. I know the anniversary isn’t going to be easy. Spend that day with the kids remembering the good memories. Perhaps play some type of game of, “Who has the ____ memory with Dad”… “Who has the ___ memory with Dad”… things like silliest, happiest, craziest, adventurous, etc. They could “win a prize” for best story. You, of course, will be the judge, at the end you can award each of them with a “the best” prize (ice cream?). They are (mostly) so young and it’ll help keep their memories going and maybe even learn something new they didn’t know. I hope that made sense and isn’t upsetting for you. It’s suppose to help. I’m VERY PROUD of you and everything you’ve been able to do on your own. 🙏🏼💜😊
You have such a warm and caring heart Rinas! Sorry to hear about your father. I am dreading July 16th coming up. Thank you for having us in your prayers, and being so thoughtful! I deeply appreciate it. Wishing you the best and take care!
That was a beautiful tribute Rosalie to your husband that you so dearly loved. Back then it wasn't that unusual to dress a baby in whatever baby clothes were available whether they were a boy or a girl. Especially when the baby before them was the opposite sex, it was just the most practical as well as economical. Sending you and your family love and healing prayers.❤
Well, your husband was a sweet looking baby. Quite beautiful! Despite the outfits. He did not deserve the unkind mother. Anyone would have been pleased to call him their son. I am glad he had you, his loving wife❤
Thanks so much for the info Theresa! Another lady mentioned in the comments that her brother had one too! Do you remember where these were purchased?? I don't know anything about the monkey so I am so glad you shared! Best wishes!
My older brother had the same monkey, at least the plastic face. When the monkey gradually got old and fell apart, mom kept the face. She passed away in 2010, but the monkey face is still in the cedar chest
Thank you for sharing. Wondering if he was perhaps born in 1952, if he was 71 when he died in July 2023? Also, it sounds like the older brother was colicky as a baby, leading to a 'mental breakdown' of the mother? Hope you were kind to yourself yesterday, dealing with remembrances of your husband.
You are so kind, Amy. Yes, I made a mistake with his age. He was 70 when he died. His brother might have been colic, but he still had the temper throughout his life. Thank you and I wish you the best!
My brother would have been 72 on June 7th. He passed at 36 years old in October, 1988. He was born in 1952. If your husband was born in 1953, he would only be 71.
@@Momof8kids Thank you. Yes, even after all these years the death of a loved one can be sad at times. I pray for you and your children as you remember your husband on his birthday and the first anniversary of his passing. I find during the first year after loosing someone is the most difficult as you remember your loved one on all these special times you had with them. This has been my experience anyways. God bless.
Hi Rosalie ,l think you meant 2023 not 2003.You said he was born in 1953 that means he would be 71 this year not 72 did you mean 1952? Not sure if l understood, or if l misheard.l can't believe a year has already passed it seems like yesterday.I hope you and the children are doing well.Take care .Happy Heavenly Birthday Eugene rest in eternal peace.xx
You are right Sheila, I meant to say 2023. He was born 1953 so I made an error, sorry about that. Thank you so much for your kind wishes, sending you love!
@@Momof8kids That's ok Rosalie it's so easy done,half the time l forget things.You are looking really well, you are doing amazing.Much love to you and the children .💕
It not been that long since he went home, interesting story. They often dressed boys like that way back then. He seemed like a nice man. I know you and the kids must miss him. Share all you want with us; I think it helps. I see a lot of him in your kids. They all favor him on some features. Hugs. Smile for he loved you and the kids, it is something you can hang on to with the kids. You are doing really well with your grief it shows you are a strong woman. He'd be proud of you. Hard to make decisions by yourself. I think he was old school when it came to being a husband. He most likely asked how you feel and then he made the decisions most of the time. So now you're left with it all, and you're doing a good job. Do not listen to the nay sayers, we all mourn and grieve differently. It is very hard, and it is not drama. It is lonely and frightening to be left to deal with everything, and you are doing it. So be proud of yourself. Block those people. Wish you could find a good support group or person. You have us, though. Prayers and God peace for you. The Lord says Joy comes in the morning so you will have that again. It just takes time. Hugs and peace!
You are so right Leem, with so much of what you say.. He was good at making decisions, so I liked it when he made a lot of the choices for us. The big decisions we always made together. I trusted his sense of judgement and we were very similar, so I didn't need to bother with the little decisions. But if he made the wrong decision, boy, would I let him know. That doesn't mean that I didn't make any of the decisions myself, especially as his health was failing more and more. Thank you so much for your warm and caring words. I love it, and am sending you all the love I can!
Hey darling I'm sorry I left a reply to one of these evil people on the comment section but all I can say is you are absolutely beautiful and I'm sorry for what you're going through your situation is sort of similar to my I am 45 my husband is 55 and we have been together over 20 years Plus with two children and my husband has a sick heart and I fear this happening to me and don't let other people bother you about how you grieve that is your business and your business alone that is up to you in God you can grieve as much as you want to or as little as you want to but I know for a fact that I would grieve really badly because my husband is my best friend like your husband was to you but the most important thing is this we know where your husband is at he is alive for the first time in his life he is with Christ in heaven heaven isn't just sitting on clouds playing Harps Heaven is an actual place the Bible says so there's grass there's trees there's Rivers there's people and he still remembers you he still knows you and he is waiting for you just remember stay close to Christ because Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven the only God Jesus is the only God there is no other God but Christ
Lady, get over it. You have too much drama. You're not the only man or woman that has lost a loved one, and a lot of us lost our loved ones. We were married over 40 some years. Okay. Even more 50 okay, so get over it. You decided to have all those children. And you knew you were married to an older man. And you know you gotta stop this.We don't want to hearr your drama anymore.I don't want to hear your draw anymore.I'm getting off your channel
She's just expressing how she feels. You are right all of us have lost loved ones and have to find a way to move on. Like I said this is just her expressing herself on her channel. If you don't want to heat it you are always free to opt not to watch her videos. I will say that just from what she has said in past videos she was very young when she married him and from what its sounded like to me he kept her and their children very sheltered and secluded from people and the world. All she knew was the life she had with him. I know he did this out of love for her and his children but it left her afraid and alone as well as completely unsure if how to move forward and progress in life without him. I really think she has come such a long way since his passing. I've seen her become so much more independent and sure of herself and I'm so proud of her for that. She has also allowed her children to make friends and interact with other children and from what I understood that's not something that was done when her husband was alive. All in all I'm very proud of how far she has come in the almost year since his passing.
@rebeccaacklin3444. Please GO... You are free to move on and do not need to come back! Your negativity affects everyone and it's unnecessary, never mind unkind and heartless! Everyone's situation is different, everyone heals at their own pace and their own way! We SHOULD remember our loved ones. I'm sorry that your heart is so cold and empty!
What a sad evil and rude person you are! Please leave her channel. She’s still grieving and the “firsts “ are always hard. There’s nothing wrong with her sharing stories and what’s on her mind! It’s healing and good for her. ❤
I loved listening to your stories and enjoyed seeing the resemblance between your children and their father. You are just doing such a great job working through all your feelings and sharing at the same time which I find to be exemplary!!! 🥰☀️♥️🫶
@@Momof8kids I will be here. 🥰 I was born in Niagara Falls across the bridge from you and I knew there was something about you I loved from my soul. Then I saw your video of what happened in your neighborhood and realized that the way you speak probably made you feel like family to me. I didn’t get to comment on it yet, but I’m very excited to try your banana bread recipe as well! Your girls looked so cute in their chef outfits!!! 🥰♥️☀️

Thank you for sharing those baby pictures. Your little ones resemble your husband so much. I'm sorry he isn't here to celebrate his birthday this year. As you've said, you figured he'd pass ahead of you due to his age but you're still never ready for it. Maybe you can remember happier days on his birthday. You and the kids have come a long way and I'm sure he'd be so proud of you all. Sending you love and blessings. You're a strong woman and you'll get through this. ❤
Sorry for your loss. I felt the Anniversary of his death was soon. I have the same monkey. I kept it all these years. Hope you are all well. Have a wonderful summer.

Rosalie, I have been keeping you in my Thoughts and Prayers. You are looking really pretty. I'm hoping you will hold onto all the Happy Memories. I wish you'd give update on your Precious children. Did the government make it so you and children can stay in the home since you lost your husband? I want you to know many people care of you and the children very much. If you find the time would you possibly do more family oriented activities? Just a thought. How have things gone since the neighborhood bully? Bless you my Sweet Friend. ❤🙏🏻🥰😊
Thank you for sharing that with us. We’re always here for you!😊
Thank you so much, Diane. I know, and it always makes me feel better sharing with you. Take care!
what an interesting story-it is good that you have the pictures and story to go with them so they can be passed down to your children. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Mickey! It is very nice to hear from you! Best wishes!
That was really lovely ❤
Rosalie you have grown so much within this last year! Most people learn life lessons through trauma . Your husband did pass young compared to most but it was his time. Keeping your husband’s memories and passing them on is important & I would suggest writing them down as you know and remember them. Your children will appreciate the history when they are adults.
Wonderful advice, Shirlyn! Thank you, and I have learned a lot, best wishes!
Your such a strong woman rosalie
I somewhat understand the pain . I lost my dad may 15th. I watch all your video's. Your a fantastic mother. You should be very proud ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Love from Ottawa
I am honoured to hear that Christine! You are a remarkable person! The city where I met and where my husband was born and grew up is Cornwall, just 1 hour from Ottawa. That is actually where we bought my engagement ring and his wedding ring! Take care my friend!
@Momof8kids awe wow really. Well ithink your a really strong women and very proud to call you my friend 🧡
Happy heavenly birthday to your husband 👍✌️
Take care you are doing a great job.❤
Thank you for the encouragement Debora. You take care also!
I'm humbled to be able to sit here and listen to your story, Rosalie. It was beautiful to listen to, and thank you for sharing those photos! He was such a cutie, even in girl clothing when he was a baby lol. 🥰
It is beautiful to hear from you, Tiffabean. Thank you and take care.
I think you mean 2023 ??
I understand your pain ...life can be so hard.
I do think you dreaming about your husband a lot is a good thing. It helps you to process it better.
💐 Wishing you all the strenght to pull trough! 💐
Yes, I meant 2023. Thank you for understanding and I really do appreciate your kindness. Wishing you all the best, take care.
You are such a strong mama Rosalie… I’m so sorry 😢 to hear it’s gonna be a year already!! I’ve been with you since day 1!!♥️
Thank you so much Heather, that is so kind of you and really means a lot! Wishing you the best my friend and please take care!
I could see a real resemblance between that last picture with Rolland and your young daughter.
You've got a good eye! Thanks and wish you all the best!
I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so painful to lose a spouse. I've been watching since you first lost him and you have come a long way! I hope you are proud of the job you've done as a single mom! Keep it up, your honesty is appreciated. Much ❤ to all of you!!
Much love to you too, Debra! Thank you for your kindness and support. I know my husband would be proud and that gives me comfort (although it still hurts.) Take care and best wishes!
I understand exactly what you’re feeling. I suddenly lost my husband May 17. His birthday was June 19. I’ve been heartbroken. My heart goes out to you. You’ve been so brave and you’re such a good mother. I look forward to your videos. Anyone saying anything negative should just watch something else. That’s so rude . Happy birthday Eugene. God bless you.
You are so sweet and kind, Marie. I am sorry to hear about your husband. Love and blessings to you and your husband. Take care my friend.
Wow. I find it so endearing seeing olden day photos. I was born in 1956 & my parents had a son first then me then my dad decided he wanted another. Then my sister was born nearly six years after me. And she was a spoilt brat. For some reason mum favoured her. We didn’t have much food or clothes back then. But my sister was chubby & dressed warm & and a real turd. She still is today. My brother passed away over about 36 years ago. I don’t understand how a mother cannot want their own child. But I love kids so I had 4 sons & would have easily had more but would have loved a girl. I could never have dressed one as a girl though. I find that a bit odd. I enjoyed that story Rosie. Sad as it was. The things that happened so many years ago. And you will always miss your love. How could you not feel like a part of you is missing. But you are a wonderful women & mother & he is watching over you. I believe that. 🥰🥰
As always Marg, I love hearing from you! Sorry to hear about your hard times, so glad they are gone into the past. I have heard about the "baby" in the family (last child born) being the spoilt one and coddled by the parents. My sister thought that was me because I was the last born, but in this situation she was so wrong. If you haven't received your letter yet, I expect it should arrive soon. If for some reason it doesn't come, let me know and I will send you another one right away! Hope to hear from you again Marg, and please keep that warm heart of yours shining!
Hi Rosalie, I hope you will FOREVER feel your beloved husband with you! It is so hard to be separate from our loved ones. :( I know the separation isn't forever, but I also know if can feel that way. I hope God will bring you great peace and comfort. Thanks for sharing the pictures! Empress looks so much like him! You look beautiful! Best wishes in the next weeks! 🙏
Jennifer, you have a heart of gold! I was touched by your words and understanding. I want God to bring you peace and comfort too, you deserve it!
@@Momof8kids Thank YOU! I feel a kindred connection to you! You are very very GOOD and SWEET. Thank you for your prayers! :) I do have a sick father, that I am helping to take care of. It's hard, and I know I can't compare it to what you have gone through, but I do feel grief lately. I also recenty lost my beloved furbaby. I know these situations are different from yours, but we all go through tough times! I'm glad we can pray for each other. God Bless always! :)
@@jenniferharper1875 Jennifer, you are authentic and a very good person. I am honoured. My husband told me “goodness generates more goodness.” Thank you for sharing the goodness that you are with my family and myself. Take care my friend.
@@Momof8kids Your husband was right! Hang in there friend! :)
Nice to see your appearance looking healthier
Very interesting 😀
Thanks for the visit!
Hey @Rosalie Mom of 8 eugenics looks exactly like his daddy!!! Girlfriend you look fabulous! My oldest is 29 her bf is 59. It works for them. Your kids are perfect! You are a wonderful mom! We love you sweet Rosalie. Keep kicking ass. 💞💕💗💙💙💙💙💙💙
Is his name really eugenics? Lol so we are embracing white supremacy. How cool 😎
Sorry for the delayed response Kiymee! You are always so uplifting and thoughtful! Well, if it's working out for them then you can't argue with that. :) Sending you love as always, Kiymee! Take care!
It was probably autocorrected. "Eugenius", it is a very old name and I love history!
@@Momof8kids lol yes it put eugenics lol sorry! He is just darling! 🫶🏻💙🫶🏻💙🫶🏻💙
Happy Heavenly Birthday to your hubby…or as we say in Hawaii, Hau’oli La Hanau!
Your husband was a beautiful baby...wow! Love and blessings ❤
Happy 1st Heavenly Birthday, Eugene. (Belated). Today is my Dad’s Birthday. We lost him in 2013. Keeping you and the kids in my thoughts and prayers, Rosalee. I know the anniversary isn’t going to be easy. Spend that day with the kids remembering the good memories. Perhaps play some type of game of, “Who has the ____ memory with Dad”… “Who has the ___ memory with Dad”… things like silliest, happiest, craziest, adventurous, etc. They could “win a prize” for best story. You, of course, will be the judge, at the end you can award each of them with a “the best” prize (ice cream?). They are (mostly) so young and it’ll help keep their memories going and maybe even learn something new they didn’t know. I hope that made sense and isn’t upsetting for you. It’s suppose to help. I’m VERY PROUD of you and everything you’ve been able to do on your own. 🙏🏼💜😊
You have such a warm and caring heart Rinas! Sorry to hear about your father. I am dreading July 16th coming up. Thank you for having us in your prayers, and being so thoughtful! I deeply appreciate it. Wishing you the best and take care!
That was a beautiful tribute Rosalie to your husband that you so dearly loved. Back then it wasn't that unusual to dress a baby in whatever baby clothes were available whether they were a boy or a girl. Especially when the baby before them was the opposite sex, it was just the most practical as well as economical. Sending you and your family love and healing prayers.❤
💕👏
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Well, your husband was a sweet looking baby. Quite beautiful! Despite the outfits. He did not deserve the unkind mother. Anyone would have been pleased to call him their son. I am glad he had you, his loving wife❤
That was beautiful of you to say Rosemarry, thank you! Wishing you the best my friend.
@@Momof8kids Thank you!
Eugenius is the double of his daddy❤️
Omg that’s Bobo the monkey! My older brother had the exact same one! I never expected to see one again! He was born in 1953.
Thanks so much for the info Theresa! Another lady mentioned in the comments that her brother had one too! Do you remember where these were purchased?? I don't know anything about the monkey so I am so glad you shared! Best wishes!
@@Momof8kids I’m sorry I don’t know where it was purchased. Both of my parents have passed away so I don’t have them to ask.
I'm so sorry for your loss i'm a widow also. But one of these days you're going to meet somebody new and move on
I am sorry to hear, I hope you are doing alright. Wishing you the best.
My older brother had the same monkey, at least the plastic face. When the monkey gradually got old and fell apart, mom kept the face. She passed away in 2010, but the monkey face is still in the cedar chest
That is amazing!! Where did your brother get the monkey?? Thank you for sharing, and what a coincidence!
I keep hearing his passing was 2003 but I know it’s 2023
Sorry, I keep making that error.
Thank you for sharing. Wondering if he was perhaps born in 1952, if he was 71 when he died in July 2023?
Also, it sounds like the older brother was colicky as a baby, leading to a 'mental breakdown' of the mother?
Hope you were kind to yourself yesterday, dealing with remembrances of your husband.
You are so kind, Amy. Yes, I made a mistake with his age. He was 70 when he died. His brother might have been colic, but he still had the temper throughout his life. Thank you and I wish you the best!
My brother would have been 72 on June 7th. He passed at 36 years old in October, 1988. He was born in 1952. If your husband was born in 1953, he would only be 71.
I'd better double check, thank you.
And sorry to hear about your brother, best wishes.
@@Momof8kids Thank you. Yes, even after all these years the death of a loved one can be sad at times. I pray for you and your children as you remember your husband on his birthday and the first anniversary of his passing. I find during the first year after loosing someone is the most difficult as you remember your loved one on all these special times you had with them. This has been my experience anyways. God bless.
Hi Rosalie ,l think you meant 2023 not 2003.You said he was born in 1953 that means he would be 71 this year not 72 did you mean 1952? Not sure if l understood, or if l misheard.l can't believe a year has already passed it seems like yesterday.I hope you and the children are doing well.Take care .Happy Heavenly Birthday Eugene rest in eternal peace.xx
You are right Sheila, I meant to say 2023. He was born 1953 so I made an error, sorry about that. Thank you so much for your kind wishes, sending you love!
@@Momof8kids That's ok Rosalie it's so easy done,half the time l forget things.You are looking really well, you are doing amazing.Much love to you and the children .💕
How did you meet your husband?
It is a great story and unique. I will share all the details in a video for everyone when I can explain it all without breaking down.
@@Momof8kids I understand.
My parents were pen pals during the Korean War.
Thats gone so quickly!! 😢😢
It not been that long since he went home, interesting story. They often dressed boys like that way back then. He seemed like a nice man. I know you and the kids must miss him. Share all you want with us; I think it helps. I see a lot of him in your kids. They all favor him on some features. Hugs. Smile for he loved you and the kids, it is something you can hang on to with the kids. You are doing really well with your grief it shows you are a strong woman. He'd be proud of you. Hard to make decisions by yourself. I think he was old school when it came to being a husband. He most likely asked how you feel and then he made the decisions most of the time. So now you're left with it all, and you're doing a good job. Do not listen to the nay sayers, we all mourn and grieve differently. It is very hard, and it is not drama. It is lonely and frightening to be left to deal with everything, and you are doing it. So be proud of yourself. Block those people. Wish you could find a good support group or person. You have us, though. Prayers and God peace for you. The Lord says Joy comes in the morning so you will have that again. It just takes time. Hugs and peace!
You are so right Leem, with so much of what you say.. He was good at making decisions, so I liked it when he made a lot of the choices for us. The big decisions we always made together. I trusted his sense of judgement and we were very similar, so I didn't need to bother with the little decisions. But if he made the wrong decision, boy, would I let him know. That doesn't mean that I didn't make any of the decisions myself, especially as his health was failing more and more. Thank you so much for your warm and caring words. I love it, and am sending you all the love I can!
All boys wore dresses until they where 18 months in those days ! British kids still are easy to change diapers ! A sign of being rich …..
I don't think my husband even knew that, he is the one who told me the story, thank you! Best wishes!
Hey darling I'm sorry I left a reply to one of these evil people on the comment section but all I can say is you are absolutely beautiful and I'm sorry for what you're going through your situation is sort of similar to my I am 45 my husband is 55 and we have been together over 20 years Plus with two children and my husband has a sick heart and I fear this happening to me and don't let other people bother you about how you grieve that is your business and your business alone that is up to you in God you can grieve as much as you want to or as little as you want to but I know for a fact that I would grieve really badly because my husband is my best friend like your husband was to you but the most important thing is this we know where your husband is at he is alive for the first time in his life he is with Christ in heaven heaven isn't just sitting on clouds playing Harps Heaven is an actual place the Bible says so there's grass there's trees there's Rivers there's people and he still remembers you he still knows you and he is waiting for you just remember stay close to Christ because Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven the only God Jesus is the only God there is no other God but Christ
Lady, get over it. You have too much drama. You're not the only man or woman that has lost a loved one, and a lot of us lost our loved ones. We were married over 40 some years. Okay. Even more 50 okay, so get over it.
You decided to have all those children. And you knew you were married to an older man. And you know you gotta stop this.We don't want to hearr your drama anymore.I don't want to hear your draw anymore.I'm getting off your channel
She's just expressing how she feels. You are right all of us have lost loved ones and have to find a way to move on. Like I said this is just her expressing herself on her channel. If you don't want to heat it you are always free to opt not to watch her videos. I will say that just from what she has said in past videos she was very young when she married him and from what its sounded like to me he kept her and their children very sheltered and secluded from people and the world. All she knew was the life she had with him. I know he did this out of love for her and his children but it left her afraid and alone as well as completely unsure if how to move forward and progress in life without him. I really think she has come such a long way since his passing. I've seen her become so much more independent and sure of herself and I'm so proud of her for that. She has also allowed her children to make friends and interact with other children and from what I understood that's not something that was done when her husband was alive. All in all I'm very proud of how far she has come in the almost year since his passing.
That's good just go on she don't need no cold-hearted comments from you anyhow
Glad your leaving her channel she doesnt need your negativety
@rebeccaacklin3444. Please GO...
You are free to move on and do not need to come back! Your negativity affects everyone and it's unnecessary, never mind unkind and heartless!
Everyone's situation is different, everyone heals at their own pace and their own way! We SHOULD remember our loved ones.
I'm sorry that your heart is so cold and empty!
What a sad evil and rude person you are! Please leave her channel. She’s still grieving and the “firsts “ are always hard. There’s nothing wrong with her sharing stories and what’s on her mind! It’s healing and good for her. ❤
I loved listening to your stories and enjoyed seeing the resemblance between your children and their father. You are just doing such a great job working through all your feelings and sharing at the same time which I find to be exemplary!!! 🥰☀️♥️🫶
You are so kind Tina! Thank you for being so supportive, and I wish you all the best my dear friend!
@@Momof8kids I will be here. 🥰 I was born in Niagara Falls across the bridge from you and I knew there was something about you I loved from my soul. Then I saw your video of what happened in your neighborhood and realized that the way you speak probably made you feel like family to me. I didn’t get to comment on it yet, but I’m very excited to try your banana bread recipe as well! Your girls looked so cute in their chef outfits!!! 🥰♥️☀️
