Life is short DON'T worry about the ones that are gone......l am 80 years old now....All of my very big family are all gone now mom dad brothers sisters wife kids aunt's uncles every single one gone now for one reason or another and l live alone in a big two story house .....Yu'all have so very much to thank God for.....Blessing my friends and Thanks
I started crying as you started to talk about how you never answered the phone when your father called on your birthday so that you could save those recordings. I too do the same thing when my mother calls, as she also sings the whole birthday song to me. This episode touched me. Happy birthday Justin.
Oh my goodness I cried listening to your dad's message. I don't know how you held it together. Happy Birthday Justin. My husband and I were married at 15 and 17 We are celebrating our 50th anniversary 11/3.
The first year sucks, my dad pasted away when I was 25. Right before my sons 2nd birthday. Doesn’t get better, I live behind their house. On same farm I grew up on, with my house. So I could take care of my mom. So almost 10 years later, it’s fine fulfilled some of his dreams. Bought truck he wanted & had money for, but would never buy himself. Finished fencing in back 8 Acres, raised horses, bunnies, pigs, ducks, and chickens on his land.
That was the most beautiful and emotional video. I love that you saved your father’s messages. I cried through the whole thing. I really relate so much. My Dad died November 8, 2009 and I wish I had some messages from him. I also met and fell in love with my husband when I was 16 and he was 17. We’ve been married 42 years and are still happy. We have wonderful children and grandchildren. I love watching your videos and seeing your family. Happy Birthday Justin. I pray you have 50 more. God bless you. ❤️
There's never a bad day for biscuits & gravy, and having grits, (cheese, plz), Justin. Happy Birthday! My husband passed away unexpectedly 3 weeks ago. I know that it will take time, and I think you just have to cut yourself slack, no matter how long it takes.
I lost my Dad 45 years ago next January. I miss him so much still. I'm so glad you have your Dad's messages so you can still hear his voice. A wonderful thing for you.
I know how you feel about birthdays after a parent passes. My mom passed in 2010, we also shared a birthday, November 2. The first birthday after she passed I stayed in bed. Year 2-8 I got up but did nothing. This year, I’m getting up and spending the day with my husbands gran, whose birthday is November 2 and is celebrating her 97th and I’m celebrating 49. Happy Birthday to you and your Pops and my mom in heaven. ❤️❤️
brother Justin my Mom has been gone these 20 years and I still miss her the same as when she first left...but I relish in the "wisdom" that she left me deep in my heart in her voice I her tell me she is proud of me and what I have accomplished with my life at 67. If you were my Son I would be very proud of you and what you and your family has accomplished. Especially the wonderful life you have given to your family. God bless you my brother....and Happy Birthday too!!!!!
Happy birthday! I took this age for granted, and All of a sudden boom! I'm 50. Enjoy your little kids and enjoy your age. I don't have regrets but I miss our team Ursini that is now doing their own lives. It happens so quickly!
I lost my mom when I was 14, its so hard without them, may I suggest getting a scrap book to write down memories put in pictures, it helps to make little keep sakes, much Love and God bless and keep you and your family safe, Amen, Happy Birthday
Lost another dear friend today, that makes 6 this year. My birthday was the 30th of Oct. Life is hard but y'all inspire us everyday. We learn through your life and what you share with us. Thank you for doing you!!💜
If you don’t process sugars well it often shows up in touchy emotions in a day or two. Taking digestive enzymes with those meals helps me with carbs. So you’ve recovered and are laughing together now. ❤️❤️
Happy belated birthday Justin. I’m glad the day ended well for you and you received the gift you wanted. It’s wonderful that you have your dad recorded, a keepsake. You are a wonderful provider to your family, a fantastic father and husband.
Happy Birthday - You are my farming/homesteading hero. I hope I can get homesteading soon and put into practice what you have pioneered for us all. God Bless.
justin, happy birthday! really makes me smile to see how much you enjoyed yourself. you are one lucky man, you have so much love, consideration and warmth around you. sending love from the land down under, really hope you had a great day mate!
Happy late birthday Justin. Glad yall could talk and get over the issues. Thanks for being truthful. I'm glad you kept those messages from your dad. Rebekah I know after having a bad day it was hard but it shows your true love for Justin saying the kind things you said. We understand its hard. Been married almost 18 years and together for 21.
Happy birthday,I can see it was a good one even though you missed your dad.We all have those days,and no one is perfect.Birthdays are hard for me now.A few years ago my nephew took his life,and the past few years have been rough when my birthday comes around,but I have old messasges on my phone that I can read from him.it helps but its also bitter sweet.Having a loving family helps.
Justin u are a amazing man your father is so very proud of u.your family makes my day's brighter. Thanks and u as a person is so genuine and so compassionate everything u do is from your heart. God bless oh and you and your wife are humans beings. Love u all.
I love you guys soo much so that Justin inspired me to get turkeys he inspired me to get pigs.. I love this family.. Lots of love coming your way from Ireland 🇮🇪
Justin always remember your dad will always be with you. Things happen in life that will remind you of the days he was with you. Hold on to the memories. God Bless you and your family. Oh and PS Happy Belated Birthday.
My son turns 42 this week as well! Happy birthday!! I understand about how difficult it is the first birthday without a parent. You have a wonderful life and family... it don't get no better. Enjoy your day!
Happy belated birthday Justin! The truth is you may be the perfect family because it takes all aspects together to make perfection. God works in amazing ways ya know. The loss of your Pop last year was a tough time, but through God's amazing grace He is giving you a new baby this year! What a blessing. Thanks for sharing with us all, you guys rock!
Happy birthday Justin ...u bring such joy and educational content to us... The way you include the family n even outsiders to your homesteading journey...I love watching every thing you post
Happy Belated Birthday. Hope you had a blessed day! 💙💛🙏 I wish I had a Justin Rhodes in my life. Lol. Need help with this new journey. Canned my chickens today that I processed a month ago..... thanks to you! 💙💛🙏
My brother n law passed nov 3, 2019, his wife on July 17, 2020 of a broken heart losing her husband.... they moved close to us so we could take care of them in their old age, which we've been doing for 5 years... And I miss them sooo very much...
It’s hard to say how we’ll be when that moment in times come.. Our kids will face that day,, one day.. I work in a hospital and see the loss of life and separation of loved ones.. It’s never easy..
Happy Birthday! She is the best milk cow. Biscuits and gravy are good no matter what they are made from 😏...bless your hearts ♥️. This is so why God put you two together. And your birthdays will be a blessing as it will bring your father back as though he just went home to The Lord. We don't mind to cry with you all. You all are important to us. 🙋♀️
Glad you had a good Birthday even though you and Rebakah had a difference of opinion. This happens to us all. It's cool you guessed what Rebakah got you. You have a Great Family and Homestead. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
I love watching Lilli she's a beautiful girl and she is a great farmer.The boys really are farmers too. They all have a way of figuring out what to do .God bless you all and keep up the great work.
I know how u felt on ur birthday I'm always like that on my birthday not having the ones we love are not around anymore is hard on special days but we all keep going with the love ones around Happy late birthday justin
I always say I’ve got mushy peas brain, not because I want to eat that though. I’d much rather have biscuits and gravy brain, although I have never eaten that in my life. A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 🎈🎈🎈
It's perfectly ok to send Teddy away and make him WAIT during emotional times. Have you ever rushed in with A VERY important message for someone only to have the household busybody on your heels screaming what what what just because they feel your "energy"? Well dogs are ALWAYS the household busybody and it's not cruel to prevent them from crashing your moment, just call them in and love them up when it's over. The dog will feel they are the center of attention because at that point they ARE and they will immediately forget any hurt feelings you may have worried they had. Happy birthday btw Justin. You are very loved.
Happy Birthday!! I wish I could say that it gets easier....you just learn a new normal. Lost my sister almost three years ago and I still find myself wanting to call her and share something special. Praying for you and your family.
Justin, you are showing us how much you loved your Dad. Each year will be difficult but yet a little easier. I want to wish you a Happy Birthday and many more. My Birthday is October 29th. What day is yours? Thanks for sharing these videos about your precious family.
Y'all are honest and good people just like the rest of us. Justin relax I've lost my Mom, grandson, and recently my twin. A suggestion I'd like to share is a memory book. Very therapeutic for me. My wish for all of you is to be Healthy, Happy, and safe. I'd like your address so I could send y'all a Christmas card. Hugs

I'll bet that your non-Southern viewers think you have an accent, but those of us in the Deep South can't hear it. :D
I know, that' why I really tried to pull it out. LOL.

Happy Birthday. You're a good example of as a parent father and husband. God Bless u and your family.
Well I was strong until I heard your dad's voice recording. It broke me down. I needed that as I miss my parents very much. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Justin!! I love the way your families give the birthday person a blessing and speak about them and what they mean to you!
Lost another dear friend today, that makes 6 this year. My birthday was the 30th of Oct. Life is hard but y'all inspire us everyday. We learn through your life and what you share with us. Thank you for doing you!!💜
We ALL lose our parents...it’s never an easy thing...hang in there guys, you’re rockin’ your farm life and your kids are awesome!
