It's no use hating it..put that energy into knowing the Lord of the heavens..the One who made everything & holds everything together..the Lord Jesus Christ who is appearing soon for His true followers..His Bride!
@@PlanetLiala..the greatest is to use it as a time to search for & know God..'call upon the name of the Lord & you will be saved'. Eternity is what we all are facing..do we know the God of Eternity?
I admire her bravery, in spite of the long scary battle she fought so well. She seemed to have a forever smile and positive outlook on her life, so that her loved ones wouldn’t be afraid or sad. I hope I’d be so brave in the face of death. RIP Maddy.❤
The greatest sadness is not death, but living the last days without seeking God and not teaching your children to seek Him, not giving your life to Jesus and then living eternally without Him. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; And whoever lives and believes in me will never die
I know how you feel because this woman and I are the same age and I found out about her and her journey the week before I turned 27. It made me feel so guilty because here I am being healthy and complaining about everything but she was at the end of her journey and she was being so positive and smiling all the time. I honestly cried my eyes out of guilt. It made appreciate life so much more and to be grateful everyday I’m alive for another year. Because that is a blessing let alone a gift. 💕❤️🙏🏽
@@cartermember21Didyou read the tribute to her in the videos description? It was so beautiful and you really got to know all the things she did in her life. I have no idea how she fit everything she did into the 26 years she was here. But reading that and watching the video showed what a special soul she was. You could do easily tell she was one of those truly good to their core people. The kind of person you don't meet very often because she somehow managed to hold on to innocence and not let life dampen her view of the world. It's so unfair she is not here anymore. She was one of those people who could of made the world a better place. I hope the over 6.6 million people who have watched this now carry some of the innocence she had, because in her memory we should all try a little harder to be like Maddy.
I don’t know how RUclips recommends this video.. I have tear in my eyes after watching..my mother is diagnosed with cancer in August 24 …. Please pray for my mother😢
I am so sorry for your mother. I lost my own mother to cancer. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I will pray for your mom's recovery. Please have hope and faith. God bless you. 🙏
I am literally bawling my eyes out. I asked God how such a beautiful angel on earth can be taken away from those that she loves, and that love her back? Her strength is remarkable. Her smile is imprinted on my heart. This beautiful girl endured so much while striving to stay alive for her family. May she rest in peace.
You have a memory to share with all- to a time when Maddy was younger. Even though most here have/had never met her…another piece to the puzzle was just added on to it. Thank you for that.
There was really no other way she could be. She had no alternative, because she loved her family so much. Like, how would a loving mother possibly act any other way, really!
As I write this, I’m battling aggressive cancer too. “Not today” that’s my mantra too. I will use Maddy as my inspiration to keep fighting and live every day with love and positivity and gratefulness. Her light and strength is eternal ❤
5G. Preservatives in foods. Think about it. Grandparents ate meat and potato’s. Not even close to the amount of crap fast food and processed boxed foods.
I’m 68, lost my wife to brain tumor in 1988, my daughters were 3 & 5. Still seams like it was yesterday I lost her! Still miss her as much today as I did when she passed! So sorry on your loss!
as a fourteen year old girl watching this for the first time i wanted to let you know how incredibly sorry i am for your family. I know that thi swas a while back but no one should have to go through this. Maddy was a beautiful warrior and she truly deserved the best in life. I hope your family is doing okay now. Your children will be so proud to know that she was their mum. Rest in peace beautiful angel xx
I was 25 & a soldier when I lost my wife 35 years ago. And I have to say your're a wise young lady & have alot of compassion for others. Please don't lose that.
My goodness...as someone who's almost 3x your age--can I just say, you are so well articulated and insanely sweet. Don't ever lose that!!! You give me hope for the next generation lol
@@tamitribbiani7907It’s important to distinguish that god had no hand in taking this poor woman’s life. hopefully, though, she is now in his hands as she rests in peace
God seems to take the spirited and beautiful ones. He took my daughter when she had just turned 20, 12 yrs ago. She lit it all up just like this beautiful lady did. God bless her family!
As a mom of three kids, I cannot imagine how hard it was for Maddie to say Goodbye to her little kids and her family. Chandler, so sorry for your loss. May God bless you, the kids, and your family.
I can’t stop the tears my husband also Passed awsy from cancer when he was 28 we had a six week old and three year old my heart is with dad and the children it’s so hard hang in there your kids are your world and moms always there with you all sending love ❤️
As a medical doctor who has been around patients that died, even young ones, and is expected to be desensitised to the realities of life, and also as someone who is not even a crier, I was sobbing by the end of this beautiful montage celebrating your wife and your life together. Maddy was obviously a remarkable, beautiful and incredible mother, wife and human being. Any of us, never having even met her, can recognise that. My heart breaks for you, Chandler, and your kids. But you have also displayed an extraordinary amount of courage in the malevolent face of cancer as you held your wife’s hand through this and so, I have no doubt that you will not only dust yourself off and show up for your children but rebuild a beautiful life for them where all of you will thrive, just like Maddy would’ve wanted. Rest in paradise to your dear sweet wife
@@87JuliR As doctors, we are more desensitised than the average person who doesn't find themselves surrounded by the dying everyday. Desensitised absolutely does not equate to apathy, a lack of empathy or becoming blase though and that is where YOU are wrong. It speaks of the 'shock' of something like human passing being dulled simply due to sheer experience. The first patient death I saw made me bawl in the duty room, my first few autopsies attended (of people younger than me) put me into a desolate and disillusioned place for weeks. Hell, being in the PICU and seeing 5 year olds arrest made me question my faith in God. While the sadness prevails each time I encounter such a case, the intensity and shock is not all encompassing and devastating as the first or second or third time and is instead replaced by quiet acceptance. It is also the only way in which most care providers can deal with the trauma of watching the precarious balance between life and death everyday and continue functioning. I weave poems and prose from patient encounters that moved me and the wonders and pitfalls of medicine, the body, the human condition. Very far from callous. I wouldn't expect you to understand what I'm talking about unless you work in healthcare so you're forgiven for your sanctimonious and ignorant comment.
@@thanishasanthosh2204 he meant the universal "you" not you in particular. Though responding to your post he was wondering out loud how could anyone be desentizised. I am an ER trauma doc and know how to read people.
She was a beautiful soul! I have stage 4 lung cancer, and I will strive to give off positive vibes, and a glowing smile like Maddy! What a inspiration for all! Heaven received a angel! U r a beautiful family!
These videos are a gift to some of us that don’t even have cancer, but have other substantial obstacles in life that feel impossible. Maddy is an angel.
I’m so sorry your family lost Maddy. She looks like an amazing human that the world shouldn’t be without. You are doing a beautiful job honouring her memory.
@@barbaraseccombe2421 May God embrace you with His love and Grace, Barbara. Your brave decision will give you time to actually LIVE, not endure the rest of your life having painful, debilitating treatment for its own sake. Be blessed
Can't believe I'm here crying for stupid reasons while there are people my age out there dying due to horrible and unstoppable diseases. Maybe this video randomly popping on my feed was the sign that I should stop worrying/having anxiety for almost everything and start living.
I’m feeling the same. Here I am over here feeling bummed out over something stupid, and then this video pops up. I can’t believe someone so young went through so much with a smile on her face no less. No one in their mind 20s just starting their life should be diagnosed with end stage cancer. Maddie has inspired me to live in the now, and stop caring about the past and future.
When you start being grateful for all the "small" things in life that's when you start living. You don't need a massive holiday to be happy. You don't need a designer item. It's a lie that we are being fed. Just because grateful for things like health...freedom...food..family....we have so much more than we realise ❤
Hello from Canada. I am watching this for the first time. I am in tears. I sit and again wonder why I survived Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I had cancer twice. I really did not have much hope . There was no one who survived the type of cancer I had. I am still the leader 5 yrs later . My oncologist keeps saying I am special. I look at Maddy so happy a mom and wife. Everything I am not. So with this, I shall keep Maddy in my mind when my depression knocks me down. I fought and beat cancer, but I can not win depression. I will replay this video to remind me that life is a gift. God Bless
You were meant to be HERE, you have more work to do on earth, you will find your purpose. It's sad, because in this day and age, it seems EVERYONE is depressed, including me. Something in our world needs to change.
It was no accident that I watched this. Though I am in tears over strangers, I cannot tell you how much I just learned from the courageous and beautiful soul Maddy seemed to be. I am about her age, I just turned 27, and I am a mother of a one year old. I can't imagine what it took for her to have to say goodbye to her family and to do her best to keep a positive outlook. She radiates strength, hope, and perseverance, and I have no doubt she will always be with your family. I will never forget her story. God bless you and your family.
To all the People that have cancer , i just whant to tell you are very courageous , you are a Hero , dont stop when you feel you cant no more 🥺,keep fighting 💥 , and overall Remember Your Very💐 VALUABLE. 🌹🌷⚘️🌺🌻 Written with much love❤
This woman deserves a movie. This showed up at the top of my recommended videos. Idk why. And I don’t know why I felt compelled to click on this 20 minute long video about some random woman I’ve never met. But I did. I spent just over 20 minutes getting to know this woman, getting to watch her hold onto so much positivity when all the odds were stacked against her, something that I, myself am painstakingly terrified of. She also seems so incredibly lucky that she has such a supportive family and the ability to afford what looked like just about the best last year you can have. By the end of this video, I now feel like I know her myself. I won’t lie, it made me tear up. Maddy sounds like a wonderful, amazing wife, mother and everything else. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
“You don’t have to live forever you just have to live” - a wise man May she rest in piece and fly high may she watch over her children from a different point of view. Amen 🙏🕊️🕊️🌹🌹
She lived more in 27yrs then most people do in 90yrs. Thanks for sharing... I needed a reality check of the precious moments we take for granted. My deepest condolences to you, sir. May God bless you and your children!
Appalling strength to live such a full life in her last year. Thanks to Maddy her kids were left with this lasting memory of their many wonderful experiences.
This showed up in my feed and I decided to watch it. My heart is broken for you and your children. She had a smile in every scene here through her journey and was so positive. What a fantastic mom. Cherish these wonderful memories of a beautiful, loving wife and mother. She'll forever be an inspiration in rough times. ❤
I get so angry when I see such young beautiful people inside and out die of cancer. Especially when they live a healthy lifestyle and do all the right things plus they are living their lives to their fullest. But then you see people that live into the 90’s who just waste their life with drugs and they are terrible people. They smoke cigarettes, eat whatever they want and never exercise a day in their lives. I’m not much of a religious person but I really hope that there is a good reason for it.
@@joeypilewsky1148Nice people don’t have to be trained too much anymore, so God call them back earlier than bad people. Nice people “get to” graduate from The School Of Life early! This is the theory what I choose to believe in:)
@@joeypilewsky1148 I hope you’re joking with this ridiculous and judgemental comment. People who smoke and do drugs have had to overcome horrible tragedies and obstacles in life too. Like being molested as children or physically abused and the list goes on for a while…. Nasty people like you say we’re wasting our lives away well I promise you this, if you had to walk in my shoes and what I’ve been through, you wouldn’t last a year.
I noticed her son did “I love you” in ASL over the coffin 😌 she was beautiful, strong and her smile definitely lights up a room. I can tell. Beautiful tribute. 🩵
What an amazing woman. I am ashamed for ever complaining about anything! She has such enormous courage. I will vow to be a better person…..just like she was.
I’m watching this three days after finding out the doctors gave my sister a 2-3 month life expectancy. I’m praying she is healed and that she gets to live all of the days the Lord has appointed. Thank you for sharing your wife’s beautiful life ❤
My prayers go out to you and all those that this horrible illness is & has affected 🙏🏾 ! I lost my mother & 2 siblings to cancer and I will forever be changed yet grateful for the time God gave me with them 🙏🏾 . Thank you Jesus 🙏🏾 ! I'm a crying train wreck right now 😢
I truly admire how she kept smiling even through the hardest times ❤ I can’t imagine what her family had and is having to go through now that she’s gone. I’m gonna keep their family is my prayers ❤❤❤
Good for him! I know of a couple once where the wife died of cancer. She had a really good friend who helped her husband care for her during her dying. She sensed that the two of them would be good for each other after she was gone. At one point when she was still alive, she held both of their hands, and then clasped them together, as if giving her blessing to their future union. After she died, that’s exactly what happened! They got married. It just happens that way for some folks. Nothing wrong with it at all.
17:16 i erupted in tears when i heard the joy in those kiddos voices as they ran to give their mama a hug and how i know that they don’t have the opportunity to do so again
My mom died from cancer the 30th august 2024, she had cancer for the last three years, I hated to see her suffer everyday, but she's with god now, god bless her soul and all of theirs too, amen
This left me sobbing. You could tell from the very first few seconds how incredible Maddie was. My heart is broken for you and for those sweet babies 💔
💔💔💔💔 I am so very sorry for your incredible loss. I have been crying, your beautiful story has brought me to tears from the unimaginable grief I feel for your family. Please know you are in my prayers. God Bless and comfort you all daily. She, INDEED, was BEAUTIFUL
@planethoth1238 Ok, so you think she’s just a young person who died? Kids in Africa are dying every minute of every day because of hunger, and some people care! But Maddy? She died of Stage 4 colon cancer and millions of people care! Maddy is not just some casual woman who came and went! She is a kind-hearted mom and wife that Chandler and his kids needed! It ain’t cool to say “Get over it, they’re just a person/animal!” To someone who lost a person/pet they loved! Maddy is more than a simple human!
Colon cancer took my father's life. When he passed away, I decided I wasn't going to be sad, I decided I would be grateful for the time we had. I firmly believe we will meet again. When the time comes, I will ask him if he is proud of me. I am so proud of him and the work he did to make me the man I am.
@@waholoopesorry74 repent your lies and put your faith into atheism. After all, atheism loves you so very much❤️ facts love you more than fairy tales❤️🤭
What a beautiful lady, and these videos will mean so much to her husband and children as they grow older. They can hear her talk and know the lady they lost when they were young.RIP I too have lost 4 family members to cancer and my one wish would be to have videos of them too.
I'm at a loss for words as this video was recommended at random. My heart breaks for you and your children. I admire her positive attitude and I commend you for editing this together. Prayers to you and your family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
As a grieving mother of two beautiful children myself 19 😇😭💔 8 😇😭💔 Omg so so sad 😭💔 R.I.P Maddie 😇😭 Condolences to Your Beautiful Kids,Family and friends xox
Yes she does! She was a beautiful lady inside and out. It’s sad she can’t be here to raise her precious children, but they will see each other again one day.
I was watching and when I saw she was only 26 and had 2 kids and died from cancer, my heart broke. I feel terrible for her loss in their family but she fought so hard and that’s what matters. Even with cancer she still had lots of fun with her family and let nothing stop her. I am sending my prayers for their family. But I know she is in heaven smiling and watching her family grow. ❤
Burst in tears at 21:36. It's been 40 years that i remember myself to have cried. Sometimes i wonder, are we so lucky to cross roads with people like Maddy and see them go or are we so lucky that we lived ordinary lives with ordinary people who made absolutely no impact in our life, not shedding a tear when they were gone rather than feel such pain as this....I really don't know. My deepest condolences.
Now I know what they mean by a smile that lights up a room. What an incredibly brave woman. She did not allow cancer to take away her happiness or her light and even in the end she faced death with a smile on her face. She is truly a hero. My condolences to you, your children and your entire family for losing this angel.
As a single father of three children now,after losing my wife of 22 years at the age of 44 to corectal cancer , the pain and suffering she went through in her 4 year battle was the hardest thing we've ever had to endure.may they RIP.
@robharkins9412 I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife….may God give you and your family strength to endure the tough days ahead…my husband passed away in 2001 from a ruptured brain aneurysm…. we were 36y/o…I was devastated!!! 😭😭😭😩😩 so I know how y’all feel!!! 😢😢
My uncle passed away in July, just 10 days shy of his 70th birthday, due to cancer. I thought I was being strong until I saw your video, which brought back memories of everything he endured and what we experienced together. I loved him like a father, and my brothers and I all share that affection. My dad, who is 86, loved him like his own son and more. I pray for strength for all of us as we continue to heal, and I extend the same prayer to you, the kids, and your loved ones.
The way her mood didn't change even after finding out the cancer was back again 😭 She was just living life for herself and your family, truly amazing! ❤ So sorry for your loss Chan! 💔
Such a beautiful person.Full of heart for her family. Such sad news for 2nd time,but still enjoying her life and family.What a beautiful person you are .And pretty too..
I have no words, sorry, so sorry. 😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤ it's just not fair. Keep smiling for the kids, you're a beautiful family. You don't deserve this. She was so beautiful.
from someone who lost their mother to cancer at an early age, i pray that these kids grow up to be strong independent people with kind hearts. i especially relate to her daughter, i hope that she has lots of females in her life that help her experience womanhood in a way that's right for her. thank you for sharing madalyn's story.
I am so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful woman Maddy was, inside and out, she brought two beautiful little kids into this world, fought cancer like a true warrior & has a husband and family that clearly love her very much!!! This was an amazing tribute to an amazing woman/wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend. Well done, she will live on in your hearts forever.. Rest In Peace Maddy.
I'm not afraid of cancer or any other chronic disease... I'm afraid of my kids losing their mother.. Because I believe no one love them the way I do.. May Allah (God) heal every soul and body.. Ameen
Dearest Chandler. I have just cried my way through this video. My heart breaks for you, as I know what you went through. I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago, and shared all the experiences you and your beautiful Maddy went through. You have 2 gorgeous children who need their Dad now, more than ever. Cherish the memories you had together, and stay strong. Sending you and your family love, from Cornwall in the UK 😢💔
Wenn der Tod nicht mehr aufzuhalten ist, das Leben nicht mehr lebenswert, sollte man loslassen... 😢😢😢😢 Ihr habt es großartig gemacht. Madalyns Liebe wird euch begleiten, solange ihr sie braucht.
Sitting here crying quietly. My husband has been fighting Stage 4 esophageal cancer for the last 4 almost 5 years. Your video has me here with tears streaming down my face. What a beautiful woman. May these memories bring you peace.
@@francinelatorraca8885please no it’s not I finally broke down reading this comment. My dad died when I was 11 of aggressive stage 4 esophageal cancer and it only took three months after his diagnosis for him to pass away. I hope things get better
I love that at her funeral you all didn't wear black. Cancer is cruel and when a loved one has it, life gets rough. Maddie is such an inspiration and never gave up and let her cancer get in the way. I know in my heart that she was an amazing woman, mother, wife, daughter, and friend to all. I know she is looking down at you and your children and the rest of your family. Rest in peace Madalyn Rae Welsh Smith. 🙏❤
It is amazing how to an outsider you would never know how ill she was by how full of life, smiley, and healthy she looked when she first found out it was back. Cancer is the worst. I teared up watching this.
Sitting here watching this in the or waiting room for my hubby to come out of his neck tumor removal surgery. Just praying they get it all. So sorry for the tremendous loss you and your family experienced. Praying for all who love her.
This video randomly came across my feed and I watched every second. Your wife was and is so stunning, perhaps the most beautiful person I have ever seen. The love she had for her loved ones was so obvious and present, I can’t imagine the void you are all feeling now. She was courageous in her fight, but so are you, Chandler. And I know you’re STILL fighting with the loss of the love of your life. I can’t make it better, but I will be praying for your healing and the healing of everyone she touched with her exuberant presence. “I’m sorry” really just doesn’t cut it, does it? I know you will continue to be an amazing dad to Wren and Andi and keep Maddy’s legacy alive. I just hope you have a strong support system. Sending all my love to all of you ❤❤❤
Im now a babbling crying mess,, my mother passd away from cancer 5 years ago.. I feel your pain. she seemed like a absolutely beautiful woman.. You can tell by the way you looked at her that you absolutely loved and adored her . Condolences to you and your family chandler
I cried the entire time!!! 36 year old man, 2 kids and I understand the importance of cherishing a life - because it all can be taken away from all of us at anytime. I just wish certain people understood this. My wife and I have been separated for 2 years. I haven't given up, but she has... Your story hit home, because I miss what family means to most people. Now I mourn each day I'm alone. Felt your pain, but thanks for sharing someone else's smile with us; I'm sorry for your loss!
Jesus is the answer! Never stop praying for her man. There is a spiritual battle we do not see, but Jesus warned about. Turn to Christ and don't lose heart!
I've been here before. Nothing worse than watching your spouse go through this. You feel numb. My wife passed away in 2020 from esophageal cancer leaving me and three young kids behind and our youngest child was just six months old. I'm definitely praying for you. I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
I imagine that what you are going through is really difficult, but I would like to talk to you about someone very special. God gives us free will to choose to live our life our way or choose to live it with Him and for Him. That is why I advise you to repent of your sins and give your life to God. Jehovah is a triune God because he is the Holy Spirit, Jesus (son) and Father; and Jesus died on the cross for our sins because we cannot be saved and we were condemned to hell because we are all undeserving of the kingdom of heaven and the grace of God. (Romans 3:23)(Romans 3:10-12). But God, in his mercy, sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and later be resurrected. JESUS IS GOD and everyone who repents of their sins, believes in their hearts that Jesus died for our sins and confesses him as their lord and savior, will be saved. Romans 10:9-10. Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, english isn’t my native language so I had to use translator. ❤
The last 5 minutes absolutely broke my heart and made me start crying. Even though I don't know her, it looked like she was so joyful and grateful for every single day on this earth. I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. May she rest in peace, knowing how excellent of a human being she was. ❤
Two babies that shouldn't have to grow up without their momma. A momma that will miss the rest of their lives and miss so many important milestones with them. 😭😭😭
@@Owen004Well, his kids now had to adjust to having a new mom not even a year after saying goodbye to Maddy. Meanwhile Jessica’s kids had years to move on from the death of Tyson before they met Chandler.
We lost my wife’s father yesterday to his 3rd cancer fight. Not sure why the RUclips algorithm brought me here, but they got it right. After a near death experience in my childhood, my father said “you fight. You always fight. God wants you to fight.” I can tell Maddy fought. My prayers go out to the fighters and families.
Man, I had no idea who you even were before this, but I am so sorry for your loss. This has made me realize I should cherish my wife and my family even more. I don’t want to have any regrets. God bless you, your kids, and all of your family.
I’ve been sitting here sobbing for the past 25 minutes after seeing this video. I love how she gets to spend her last years with the people she loves most, she’s such a beautiful, and kind women and she will always be in our prayers 🌹 🕊️
Ce qui est choquant c'est la joie et les rires du mari devant le cercueil de sa femme. Ce mec est dégoûtant, ça présageait bien que 3 mois à peine après sa mort il s'est déjà remarié !!!
Only when you have walked in another person's shoes can you understand what's happened. And you obviously have not. He gave her his everything to her and once she was gone he owed her nothing more, other to do his best to raise their children and live a good life. @@rozelleb3615
What makes this even sadder is that her birthday was only a few days away… we need to find a way to cure cancer before more beautiful people are taken ❤
I’ve buried a friend today who battled cancer leaving her 2 kids and husband. Thinking of you and your little family and sending love from New Zealand ❤
Seeing that little boy with his thumbs up in front of her final resting place shows that her fight and her perseverance will carry right on through to those beautiful kids. I lost my mother 10 years ago and this video brought back a familiar ache that I had hoped to have forgotten. I send all of my love to everyone featured here. What a strong and inspiring family.
This woman radiates energy through a screen and her smile is so bright. May she rest in the peace she deserves, and may her children grow to understand how loved they were by an amazing mom❤️
My dad passed away just about 2 years ago. He was diagnosed with skin cancer a little over 4 years ago. After they removed the spot, all the tests showed no signs of cancer. Less than 3 months later, two additional spots showed up. This time the cancer was incedibly aggressive. Within just a few months, he had black spots all over his body and face. We tried several therapies, but they weren't successful. My dad fought 2 years, until he decided, that he didn't want anymore treatment. Cancer is a dragon. We need a hero that finally puts that dragon in a long delayed grave!
As someone who lost her father to cancer at an age of 7 years old, I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing your children to be part of the journey and thank you for allowing them to say goodbye properly. It's something I never got and I know my mother did it to protect me as a child, but it's something I have to battle with now and have been for 20 years. I also have a plea for you: Please talk with your children about her a lot. Talk about all those great memories you all had together, so they will never forget them. Please don't keep quiet. It can be so hard, when you forget more and more, because noone speaks about the good moments anymore and then suddenly you can't seem to remember much anymore. Keep her in your memories and hearts. I wish you and your family a lot of strength.
I lost my mom when she was 52, I was 24, so not nearly as young, but I really relate to this. The hardest part has been not having anyone to remember her with me. My husband and children never knew her. My parents were divorced and my dad had just blocked her from his mind like she never existed. All that’s left is what I have in my mind, her art, and photos of her. Even though it can be hard, having someone to help us remember the ones we have lost really does make a huge difference.
@@Mrstriplejranch yes sorry you had to go through that even though you can’t find someone else to remember her with maybe someday you’ll find someone who can relate and you two can go on and on about memories with your loved ones.
This is so brutal and unfair. As a dad of two small kids (about the same age as yours), I cannot imagine what you all are going through. Incredible tribute to her.
He will be just fine. Look at this sick photo of all family (including husband) at funeral with her coffin behind them. Every single person there is laughing like it was happy function and not one too young life lost too fast…
Amy & Jamie, wow, wait, how you both have possibly misinterpreted Jesse's comment, as sick & negative in your own heads is quite unrealistically baffling. What is actually brutal & unfair is, that all these cancers & so-called diseases, which are intentionally engineered & evily being inflicted on many. Yet let's not get that confused, as those evil causes are NOT done, by the hand's of my God in Heaven, which is now where sweet Maddy rests.❤ Sooo..whom does that leave in your mind's, as the legit culprits, that are literally being brutal, unfair & are literally causing, these evil types of harms, on so many of our loved one's, both young & old. Don't bother answering... point made.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone get anything so right in my life. I never expected this video to change my perspective on how strong a Dad can be when its needed. Amazing.
I had to put down my dog after thanksgiving break and it does suck but everyday, I tell my self that the difference between heaven and earth is that one has pain and the other doesn’t. This helps me understand that, yes we feel pain in life, but not in heaven
It’s official. This grandma wants to be like maddy when I grow up! The grace and joy she emanated in the face of adversity lifts me tremendously. Well done Chandler.
I am so sorry for your loss. I really understand the loss is great. I was led to these videos by someone greater than myself. I have been doing ct scans and blood work because I have a large mass in my pelvic area. I am so afraid because my Dr said I have to have a biopsy plus the large mass removed. Im scared it’s cancer and I’ll have this battle. I pray for you all and everyone going through this. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
I'm sorry for your family's loss Maddie memories are priceless she handled her disease like a warrior keeping everyone around her happy and positive even after second diagnosis kept her composure....It's wonderful to see you and family and friends celebrating her life especially the last year...To see Maddie so young and full of life succumb to colorectal cancer is heartbreaking... Hopefully the medical world wakes up and starts realizing cancer can hit at any age than maybe more people can be saved...RIP Maddie condolences to you, family and friends
You can tell the type of person Maddy was through this video. The love and strength through your journey. Your memories will keep her alive. I'm glad your kids have all these videos.
I have breast cancer. Cancer is a very tough road. I admire Maddy’s spirit. I am so sorry you’ve lost her. I hope you will find some comfort in that other cancer patients like myself are inspired by and learning from her journey. Thank you for posting this. I pray you and your children are healing.

Hihetetlen, hogy milyen csodás, erős, és mindig mosolygós tudtál lenni. A menyországban egy Angyallal több lett, és mindenkit mosolyra fakaszt a lenyűgöző egyéniséged. Sajnálom, de egyben köszönöm is, hogy a videó által megismerhettelek, és sokat segítettél nekem legyőzni önmagam démonait. Nyugodj békében!
Life can be so bloody unfair. To see such a lovely young woman taken by cancer is heartbreaking. RIP Maddy, one day you'll be with your husband and kids again. God bless you and the young ones, Mike. I know how hard it is to lose your wife. Others living with cancer, I wish you the very best of luck on your journey, great strength and positivity, and hope you can kick this damned terrible disease to the curb. Bless you all.

My mom is currently on her last days from her battle of stage 4 colon cancer that mastisized to her perineal lining (her abdomen) as an aggressive cancer as well. I feel that this video randomly showed up on my suggested videos for a reason. No one should ever have to go through what they have. And it’s devastating to watch as their loved ones. My mom was just as positive and determined as Maddy is. My mom just celebrated her 50th birthday a month ago. I believe I came across this video to show that I’m not alone in this experience. Maddy looked like she had a beautiful life that should never been short lived. Thank you for sharing your experience as it helps those like me not feel isolated in such a devastating journey. Fuck cancer.
I’m so sorry, I lost my mom to aggressive cancer back in April. Diagnosed in January and gone less than 3 months later. This life is so unfair and I wish you the best in your grief journey because it’s not easy 😞
I lost my baby brother to cancer in August after a very similar situation. We thought his cancer was gone then all of a sudden it came back. I wept watching this because I feel it so sincerely! I hate cancer more than anything in this world. Prayers to everyone affected and especially this beautiful family.
I hate cancer so much
Same it’s the worst😢
I think everyone hates it 😭😭😭
It’s a horrible thing ppl unfortunately have to go through when no body deserves that kind of pain in life
It's no use hating it..put that energy into knowing the Lord of the heavens..the One who made everything & holds everything together..the Lord Jesus Christ who is appearing soon for His true followers..His Bride!
@@PlanetLiala..the greatest is to use it as a time to search for & know God..'call upon the name of the Lord & you will be saved'. Eternity is what we all are facing..do we know the God of Eternity?

@@leaneyanssens3597?
The greatest sadness is not death, but living the last days without seeking God and not teaching your children to seek Him, not giving your life to Jesus and then living eternally without Him. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; And whoever lives and believes in me will never die

I know how you feel because this woman and I are the same age and I found out about her and her journey the week before I turned 27. It made me feel so guilty because here I am being healthy and complaining about everything but she was at the end of her journey and she was being so positive and smiling all the time. I honestly cried my eyes out of guilt. It made appreciate life so much more and to be grateful everyday I’m alive for another year. Because that is a blessing let alone a gift. 💕❤️🙏🏽
@@cartermember21 your so right x
Same……
@@cartermember21Didyou read the tribute to her in the videos description? It was so beautiful and you really got to know all the things she did in her life. I have no idea how she fit everything she did into the 26 years she was here. But reading that and watching the video showed what a special soul she was. You could do easily tell she was one of those truly good to their core people. The kind of person you don't meet very often because she somehow managed to hold on to innocence and not let life dampen her view of the world. It's so unfair she is not here anymore. She was one of those people who could of made the world a better place. I hope the over 6.6 million people who have watched this now carry some of the innocence she had, because in her memory we should all try a little harder to be like Maddy.
I don’t know how RUclips recommends this video.. I have tear in my eyes after watching..my mother is diagnosed with cancer in August 24 …. Please pray for my mother😢

I went to high school with her. She was a big ball of energy that lit up the room. Always kind and made people smile
I am literally bawling my eyes out. I asked God how such a beautiful angel on earth can be taken away from those that she loves, and that love her back? Her strength is remarkable. Her smile is imprinted on my heart. This beautiful girl endured so much while striving to stay alive for her family. May she rest in peace.

I can’t believe the amount of young people getting cancer.
I honestly believe is because of the food. Sugar and carbs active our cancer cells and now a days, those two food are everywhere.

Praying for you, I am so sorry you loist your husband
As a medical doctor who has been around patients that died, even young ones, and is expected to be desensitised to the realities of life, and also as someone who is not even a crier, I was sobbing by the end of this beautiful montage celebrating your wife and your life together.
Maddy was obviously a remarkable, beautiful and incredible mother, wife and human being. Any of us, never having even met her, can recognise that. My heart breaks for you, Chandler, and your kids. But you have also displayed an extraordinary amount of courage in the malevolent face of cancer as you held your wife’s hand through this and so, I have no doubt that you will not only dust yourself off and show up for your children but rebuild a beautiful life for them where all of you will thrive, just like Maddy would’ve wanted.
Rest in paradise to your dear sweet wife
😢wow almost 6 million views in the past 6 months!
How can you even be desensitised to things like this? The day you're desensitised, you need to go do something else....
@@87JuliR As doctors, we are more desensitised than the average person who doesn't find themselves surrounded by the dying everyday. Desensitised absolutely does not equate to apathy, a lack of empathy or becoming blase though and that is where YOU are wrong. It speaks of the 'shock' of something like human passing being dulled simply due to sheer experience. The first patient death I saw made me bawl in the duty room, my first few autopsies attended (of people younger than me) put me into a desolate and disillusioned place for weeks. Hell, being in the PICU and seeing 5 year olds arrest made me question my faith in God. While the sadness prevails each time I encounter such a case, the intensity and shock is not all encompassing and devastating as the first or second or third time and is instead replaced by quiet acceptance. It is also the only way in which most care providers can deal with the trauma of watching the precarious balance between life and death everyday and continue functioning. I weave poems and prose from patient encounters that moved me and the wonders and pitfalls of medicine, the body, the human condition. Very far from callous. I wouldn't expect you to understand what I'm talking about unless you work in healthcare so you're forgiven for your sanctimonious and ignorant comment.
@@thanishasanthosh2204 he meant the universal "you" not you in particular. Though responding to your post he was wondering out loud how could anyone be desentizised. I am an ER trauma doc and know how to read people.

Can't believe I'm here crying for stupid reasons while there are people my age out there dying due to horrible and unstoppable diseases. Maybe this video randomly popping on my feed was the sign that I should stop worrying/having anxiety for almost everything and start living.
as well cry to feel better,,enjoy to every small piece of life,no big piece,this is it
I’m feeling the same. Here I am over here feeling bummed out over something stupid, and then this video pops up. I can’t believe someone so young went through so much with a smile on her face no less. No one in their mind 20s just starting their life should be diagnosed with end stage cancer. Maddie has inspired me to live in the now, and stop caring about the past and future.
Me too i have severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I wish i could trade my lifetime to someone who needs it more than me.
When you start being grateful for all the "small" things in life that's when you start living. You don't need a massive holiday to be happy. You don't need a designer item. It's a lie that we are being fed. Just because grateful for things like health...freedom...food..family....we have so much more than we realise ❤

Hello from Canada. I am watching this for the first time. I am in tears. I sit and again wonder why I survived Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I had cancer twice. I really did not have much hope . There was no one who survived the type of cancer I had. I am still the leader 5 yrs later . My oncologist keeps saying I am special. I look at Maddy so happy a mom and wife. Everything I am not. So with this, I shall keep Maddy in my mind when my depression knocks me down. I fought and beat cancer, but I can not win depression. I will replay this video to remind me that life is a gift. God Bless
Man, great job for beating stage 4 cancer twice! Man, I hope your depression gets better, just remember that God loves you!
@@chubbsdapengi2055 Same to you.. Thank You

You were meant to be HERE, you have more work to do on earth, you will find your purpose. It's sad, because in this day and age, it seems EVERYONE is depressed, including me. Something in our world needs to change.
It was no accident that I watched this. Though I am in tears over strangers, I cannot tell you how much I just learned from the courageous and beautiful soul Maddy seemed to be. I am about her age, I just turned 27, and I am a mother of a one year old. I can't imagine what it took for her to have to say goodbye to her family and to do her best to keep a positive outlook. She radiates strength, hope, and perseverance, and I have no doubt she will always be with your family. I will never forget her story. God bless you and your family.

This woman deserves a movie. This showed up at the top of my recommended videos. Idk why. And I don’t know why I felt compelled to click on this 20 minute long video about some random woman I’ve never met. But I did. I spent just over 20 minutes getting to know this woman, getting to watch her hold onto so much positivity when all the odds were stacked against her, something that I, myself am painstakingly terrified of. She also seems so incredibly lucky that she has such a supportive family and the ability to afford what looked like just about the best last year you can have. By the end of this video, I now feel like I know her myself. I won’t lie, it made me tear up.
Maddy sounds like a wonderful, amazing wife, mother and everything else. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
I’ve been sitting on my bed bawling and never realized it’s been 20 minutes. I agree with you, it needs to be a movie.
It popped on my page too also I 100% agree with you

It's popping up on the recommended of everyone randomly

She was so full of life and joy. I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer always seems to happen to the nicest, kindest people.
I get so angry when I see such young beautiful people inside and out die of cancer. Especially when they live a healthy lifestyle and do all the right things plus they are living their lives to their fullest. But then you see people that live into the 90’s who just waste their life with drugs and they are terrible people. They smoke cigarettes, eat whatever they want and never exercise a day in their lives. I’m not much of a religious person but I really hope that there is a good reason for it.

Good for him! I know of a couple once where the wife died of cancer. She had a really good friend who helped her husband care for her during her dying. She sensed that the two of them would be good for each other after she was gone. At one point when she was still alive, she held both of their hands, and then clasped them together, as if giving her blessing to their future union. After she died, that’s exactly what happened! They got married. It just happens that way for some folks. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Her smile. It’s like God added a little bit of the Sun to her, and she shone so brightly, and beautifully, and warmed others with it.

As a single father of three children now,after losing my wife of 22 years at the age of 44 to corectal cancer , the pain and suffering she went through in her 4 year battle was the hardest thing we've ever had to endure.may they RIP.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss❤
I will keep you in my prayers. Much too young. God bless you and your precious little family ❤️
@robharkins9412 I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife….may God give you and your family strength to endure the tough days ahead…my husband passed away in 2001 from a ruptured brain aneurysm…. we were 36y/o…I was devastated!!! 😭😭😭😩😩 so I know how y’all feel!!! 😢😢
Am sorry for your loss
Cancer sucks. Lost my husband to it in 2019. He was 53. Grieving comes in waves.
Rest in peace
Time doesn't last spend as much as time as you can together cause you'll regrrtbit
My uncle passed away in July, just 10 days shy of his 70th birthday, due to cancer. I thought I was being strong until I saw your video, which brought back memories of everything he endured and what we experienced together. I loved him like a father, and my brothers and I all share that affection. My dad, who is 86, loved him like his own son and more. I pray for strength for all of us as we continue to heal, and I extend the same prayer to you, the kids, and your loved ones.
The way her mood didn't change even after finding out the cancer was back again 😭 She was just living life for herself and your family, truly amazing! ❤ So sorry for your loss Chan! 💔
Such a beautiful person.Full of heart for her family. Such sad news for 2nd time,but still enjoying her life and family.What a beautiful person you are .And pretty too..
I have no words, sorry, so sorry. 😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤ it's just not fair. Keep smiling for the kids, you're a beautiful family. You don't deserve this. She was so beautiful.
Man lost his soul mate. I hope the family is doing ok she was definitely a fighter and a motivation to others. Thanks for sharing her with us.

I was moved to tears. This is an incredible tribute to her and her legacy. I’m unbelievably sorry for yours and your kids’ loss.
from someone who lost their mother to cancer at an early age, i pray that these kids grow up to be strong independent people with kind hearts. i especially relate to her daughter, i hope that she has lots of females in her life that help her experience womanhood in a way that's right for her. thank you for sharing madalyn's story.
I am so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful woman Maddy was, inside and out, she brought two beautiful little kids into this world, fought cancer like a true warrior & has a husband and family that clearly love her very much!!! This was an amazing tribute to an amazing woman/wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend. Well done, she will live on in your hearts forever.. Rest In Peace Maddy.

Dearest Chandler. I have just cried my way through this video. My heart breaks for you, as I know what you went through. I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago, and shared all the experiences you and your beautiful Maddy went through. You have 2 gorgeous children who need their Dad now, more than ever. Cherish the memories you had together, and stay strong. Sending you and your family love, from Cornwall in the UK 😢💔
I'm so sorry
So sorry for the loss of your wife🙏❤️

I hope you are able to enjoy the beautiful memories you had with your precious wife.

Sitting here crying quietly. My husband has been fighting Stage 4 esophageal cancer for the last 4 almost 5 years. Your video has me here with tears streaming down my face. What a beautiful woman. May these memories bring you peace.
Easiest cancer to beat. Wishing your husband the best

😢 I know the pain, lost my husband nearly 5 months ago, oesophageal cancer😢. God’s blessings over you and your lovely family 🙌🏼.
@@francinelatorraca8885please no it’s not I finally broke down reading this comment. My dad died when I was 11 of aggressive stage 4 esophageal cancer and it only took three months after his diagnosis for him to pass away. I hope things get better
@francinelatorraca8885
I’d love to know your sources, as this is the opposite to all I’ve ever read.
I love that at her funeral you all didn't wear black. Cancer is cruel and when a loved one has it, life gets rough. Maddie is such an inspiration and never gave up and let her cancer get in the way. I know in my heart that she was an amazing woman, mother, wife, daughter, and friend to all. I know she is looking down at you and your children and the rest of your family. Rest in peace Madalyn Rae Welsh Smith. 🙏❤
It is amazing how to an outsider you would never know how ill she was by how full of life, smiley, and healthy she looked when she first found out it was back. Cancer is the worst. I teared up watching this.
Sitting here watching this in the or waiting room for my hubby to come out of his neck tumor removal surgery. Just praying they get it all. So sorry for the tremendous loss you and your family experienced. Praying for all who love her.
In this 21 min video you can’t help but to feel you knew Maddy. What a beautiful soul. So sorry for your loss Chandler, may Maddy forever RIP. 🙏🙏
And we feel the pain and heartache.
She lived more in her short life than some people live in a whole life. What a beautiful smile. Rest with the Angels Maddie xx
This video randomly came across my feed and I watched every second. Your wife was and is so stunning, perhaps the most beautiful person I have ever seen. The love she had for her loved ones was so obvious and present, I can’t imagine the void you are all feeling now. She was courageous in her fight, but so are you, Chandler. And I know you’re STILL fighting with the loss of the love of your life. I can’t make it better, but I will be praying for your healing and the healing of everyone she touched with her exuberant presence. “I’m sorry” really just doesn’t cut it, does it? I know you will continue to be an amazing dad to Wren and Andi and keep Maddy’s legacy alive. I just hope you have a strong support system. Sending all my love to all of you ❤❤❤
This also came across my feed and I too watched every single second and cried.

Im now a babbling crying mess,, my mother passd away from cancer 5 years ago.. I feel your pain. she seemed like a absolutely beautiful woman.. You can tell by the way you looked at her that you absolutely loved and adored her . Condolences to you and your family chandler
I cried the entire time!!! 36 year old man, 2 kids and I understand the importance of cherishing a life - because it all can be taken away from all of us at anytime. I just wish certain people understood this. My wife and I have been separated for 2 years. I haven't given up, but she has... Your story hit home, because I miss what family means to most people. Now I mourn each day I'm alone. Felt your pain, but thanks for sharing someone else's smile with us; I'm sorry for your loss!
Sending you love
Light n blessings
Un abbraccio di cuore
Jesus is the answer! Never stop praying for her man. There is a spiritual battle we do not see, but Jesus warned about. Turn to Christ and don't lose heart!
26 years old!
I've been here before. Nothing worse than watching your spouse go through this. You feel numb. My wife passed away in 2020 from esophageal cancer leaving me and three young kids behind and our youngest child was just six months old. I'm definitely praying for you. I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I imagine that what you are going through is really difficult, but I would like to talk to you about someone very special. God gives us free will to choose to live our life our way or choose to live it with Him and for Him. That is why I advise you to repent of your sins and give your life to God. Jehovah is a triune God because he is the Holy Spirit, Jesus (son) and Father; and Jesus died on the cross for our sins because we cannot be saved and we were condemned to hell because we are all undeserving of the kingdom of heaven and the grace of God. (Romans 3:23)(Romans 3:10-12). But God, in his mercy, sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and later be resurrected. JESUS IS GOD and everyone who repents of their sins, believes in their hearts that Jesus died for our sins and confesses him as their lord and savior, will be saved. Romans 10:9-10. Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, english isn’t my native language so I had to use translator. ❤
And I'm so sorry for yours ✝️=💜 😢
Sorry for your loss ❤ Nobody should go through that.
Ehh... Prayers for you as well
Sorry for your loss. Praying for you! 🕊️
The last 5 minutes absolutely broke my heart and made me start crying. Even though I don't know her, it looked like she was so joyful and grateful for every single day on this earth. I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. May she rest in peace, knowing how excellent of a human being she was. ❤
Me too 😿
Me too🥲❤
Such a beautiful comment 🫶
I cried too 😪
I'm gutted... Man life can be so cruel .. God bless you and the kids.
Two babies that shouldn't have to grow up without their momma. A momma that will miss the rest of their lives and miss so many important milestones with them. 😭😭😭
Any moms worst nightmare
Unfortunately, he remarried! Their stepmother also has kids.
@@SusanDavis-mt3qeWhy unfortunately? He has every right to find happiness after such sadness plus the kids deserve à loving step Mom.
@@SusanDavis-mt3qe that is a blessing. his kids deserve a female figure in their life
@@Owen004Well, his kids now had to adjust to having a new mom not even a year after saying goodbye to Maddy. Meanwhile Jessica’s kids had years to move on from the death of Tyson before they met Chandler.
We lost my wife’s father yesterday to his 3rd cancer fight. Not sure why the RUclips algorithm brought me here, but they got it right. After a near death experience in my childhood, my father said “you fight. You always fight. God wants you to fight.” I can tell Maddy fought. My prayers go out to the fighters and families.
This was beautiful and heartbreaking. A beautiful soul gone to soon. Greetings and prayers from Germany.
Man, I had no idea who you even were before this, but I am so sorry for your loss. This has made me realize I should cherish my wife and my family even more. I don’t want to have any regrets. God bless you, your kids, and all of your family.
I’ve been sitting here sobbing for the past 25 minutes after seeing this video. I love how she gets to spend her last years with the people she loves most, she’s such a beautiful, and kind women and she will always be in our prayers 🌹 🕊️
I just needed to come back and watch this video again, I also love that they are happy at their funeral. It’s what she would have wanted.
Me too crying 🥹 what a beautiful angel Maddy ❤️❤️
What a short but beautiful life well lived. I pray peace and comfort to all. 💖🙏
Who else cried while watching this R.I.P we miss you❤️🕊️
I started tearing up. This is so sad RIP to Maddy
It hit me hard started 😭😭 crying....when the casket came up...and her two babies omg she seem so happy...such a lovely family
R.I.P Maddy 😭😭
Ce qui est choquant c'est la joie et les rires du mari devant le cercueil de sa femme. Ce mec est dégoûtant, ça présageait bien que 3 mois à peine après sa mort il s'est déjà remarié !!!
Only when you have walked in another person's shoes can you understand what's happened. And you obviously have not. He gave her his everything to her and once she was gone he owed her nothing more, other to do his best to raise their children and live a good life. @@rozelleb3615
What makes this even sadder is that her birthday was only a few days away… we need to find a way to cure cancer before more beautiful people are taken ❤
I’ve buried a friend today who battled cancer leaving her 2 kids and husband. Thinking of you and your little family and sending love from New Zealand ❤
Thinking of you as well I’m sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so very sorry
That must be horrible..
I am so sorry for your loss 😞🌈
Seeing that little boy with his thumbs up in front of her final resting place shows that her fight and her perseverance will carry right on through to those beautiful kids. I lost my mother 10 years ago and this video brought back a familiar ache that I had hoped to have forgotten. I send all of my love to everyone featured here. What a strong and inspiring family.
This woman radiates energy through a screen and her smile is so bright. May she rest in the peace she deserves, and may her children grow to understand how loved they were by an amazing mom❤️
😢
My dad passed away just about 2 years ago. He was diagnosed with skin cancer a little over 4 years ago. After they removed the spot, all the tests showed no signs of cancer. Less than 3 months later, two additional spots showed up. This time the cancer was incedibly aggressive. Within just a few months, he had black spots all over his body and face. We tried several therapies, but they weren't successful. My dad fought 2 years, until he decided, that he didn't want anymore treatment.
Cancer is a dragon. We need a hero that finally puts that dragon in a long delayed grave!
As someone who lost her father to cancer at an age of 7 years old, I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing your children to be part of the journey and thank you for allowing them to say goodbye properly. It's something I never got and I know my mother did it to protect me as a child, but it's something I have to battle with now and have been for 20 years. I also have a plea for you: Please talk with your children about her a lot. Talk about all those great memories you all had together, so they will never forget them. Please don't keep quiet. It can be so hard, when you forget more and more, because noone speaks about the good moments anymore and then suddenly you can't seem to remember much anymore. Keep her in your memories and hearts. I wish you and your family a lot of strength.
So sorry for your loss I know that can be tough I still have both my parents but I know how hard it must be sending prayers.
I lost my mom when she was 52, I was 24, so not nearly as young, but I really relate to this. The hardest part has been not having anyone to remember her with me. My husband and children never knew her. My parents were divorced and my dad had just blocked her from his mind like she never existed. All that’s left is what I have in my mind, her art, and photos of her. Even though it can be hard, having someone to help us remember the ones we have lost really does make a huge difference.
@@Mrstriplejranch yes sorry you had to go through that even though you can’t find someone else to remember her with maybe someday you’ll find someone who can relate and you two can go on and on about memories with your loved ones.
This is so brutal and unfair. As a dad of two small kids (about the same age as yours), I cannot imagine what you all are going through. Incredible tribute to her.
He will be just fine. Look at this sick photo of all family (including husband) at funeral with her coffin behind them. Every single person there is laughing like it was happy function and not one too young life lost too fast…
I don’t even know what to say to your comment except, Wow! What’s wrong with you? Your user name is fitting!
She was so young, and those kids are so small. Rest in peace.
She died but your sick…
Amy & Jamie, wow, wait, how you both have possibly misinterpreted Jesse's comment, as sick & negative in your own heads is quite unrealistically baffling.
What is actually brutal & unfair is, that all these cancers & so-called diseases, which are intentionally engineered & evily being inflicted on many.
Yet let's not get that confused, as those evil causes are NOT done, by the hand's of my God in Heaven, which is now where sweet Maddy rests.❤
Sooo..whom does that leave in your mind's, as the legit culprits, that are literally being brutal, unfair & are literally causing, these evil types of harms, on so many of our loved one's, both young & old.
Don't bother answering... point made.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone get anything so right in my life. I never expected this video to change my perspective on how strong a Dad can be when its needed. Amazing.
I had to put down my dog after thanksgiving break and it does suck but everyday, I tell my self that the difference between heaven and earth is that one has pain and the other doesn’t. This helps me understand that, yes we feel pain in life, but not in heaven
It’s official. This grandma wants to be like maddy when I grow up! The grace and joy she emanated in the face of adversity lifts me tremendously. Well done Chandler.
I am so sorry for your loss. I really understand the loss is great. I was led to these videos by someone greater than myself. I have been doing ct scans and blood work because I have a large mass in my pelvic area. I am so afraid because my Dr said I have to have a biopsy plus the large mass removed. Im scared it’s cancer and I’ll have this battle. I pray for you all and everyone going through this. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
I'm sorry for your family's loss Maddie memories are priceless she handled her disease like a warrior keeping everyone around her happy and positive even after second diagnosis kept her composure....It's wonderful to see you and family and friends celebrating her life especially the last year...To see Maddie so young and full of life succumb to colorectal cancer is heartbreaking... Hopefully the medical world wakes up and starts realizing cancer can hit at any age than maybe more people can be saved...RIP Maddie condolences to you, family and friends
So sorry for your loss chandler. Thanks for sharing the memories with us. I’m praying for you and the kids
@@rmilkyswife I pray you’re doing well now 🙏🙏
You can tell the type of person Maddy was through this video. The love and strength through your journey. Your memories will keep her alive. I'm glad your kids have all these videos.
Her courage, love for her family and determination to beat cancer were nothing short of breathtaking. RIP Maddy.
She is so beautiful🥺❤️She really seemed to enjoy life to her fullest! Pray you guys are able to continue to celebrate her life in
I have breast cancer. Cancer is a very tough road. I admire Maddy’s spirit. I am so sorry you’ve lost her. I hope you will find some comfort in that other cancer patients like myself are inspired by and learning from her journey. Thank you for posting this. I pray you and your children are healing.

Hihetetlen, hogy milyen csodás, erős, és mindig mosolygós tudtál lenni. A menyországban egy Angyallal több lett, és mindenkit mosolyra fakaszt a lenyűgöző egyéniséged. Sajnálom, de egyben köszönöm is, hogy a videó által megismerhettelek, és sokat segítettél nekem legyőzni önmagam démonait. Nyugodj békében!
Life can be so bloody unfair. To see such a lovely young woman taken by cancer is heartbreaking. RIP Maddy, one day you'll be with your husband and kids again. God bless you and the young ones, Mike. I know how hard it is to lose your wife.
Others living with cancer, I wish you the very best of luck on your journey, great strength and positivity, and hope you can kick this damned terrible disease to the curb. Bless you all.
........God didn't promise us a life that would be easy and fair, just live and enjoy today.......as we don't know what tomorrow may bring us.
@@CassidyPresley God didn't promise that, because there is no god. Don't delude yourself that there's some super being looking down on us. We're on our own.
She looks like a warrior, full of bravery and so much love!
My mom is currently on her last days from her battle of stage 4 colon cancer that mastisized to her perineal lining (her abdomen) as an aggressive cancer as well. I feel that this video randomly showed up on my suggested videos for a reason. No one should ever have to go through what they have. And it’s devastating to watch as their loved ones. My mom was just as positive and determined as Maddy is. My mom just celebrated her 50th birthday a month ago. I believe I came across this video to show that I’m not alone in this experience. Maddy looked like she had a beautiful life that should never been short lived. Thank you for sharing your experience as it helps those like me not feel isolated in such a devastating journey. Fuck cancer.
I’m so sorry, I lost my mom to aggressive cancer back in April. Diagnosed in January and gone less than 3 months later. This life is so unfair and I wish you the best in your grief journey because it’s not easy 😞
Hope for the best for your Mom
i feel the same pain! may God heal our hearts! 🤗
❤❤❤
I lost my baby brother to cancer in August after a very similar situation. We thought his cancer was gone then all of a sudden it came back. I wept watching this because I feel it so sincerely! I hate cancer more than anything in this world. Prayers to everyone affected and especially this beautiful family.
