I've watched you for awhile. You're pure and real. Today, however, you allowed such a raw vulnerability that you made me stop, reaccess and feel again through the grief. I lost my adult son a little over a year ago. Eleven days later, I lost my dad. If there's anything you've ever said that needed amplified in wisdom and reality, its "make the chili." Just make the dang chili...
😢. Heart breaking for you! I had to watch my parents deal with the death of my 21 year old brother. I know they will never ever be able to live the same, but I have been crushed for them 26 years! I pray you have family or friends who are there and care!😢🙏🙏 God bless you
That is terrible. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Michelle I wish I could be there to comfort you with a shoulder to cry on in your time of sorrow
@Chickenhawk I'm so very sorry for your losses.
I understand what you are going thru I spent alot of time with my mama but I never made it there to say goodbye when she passed away but I was there while she was still holding on and I told her it was ok for her to let go and that me and my kids were going to be ok. It wasn't long after that she was gone I kick myself for not being there but I felt her presence and I know she is just one of my many guardian angels that watches over me and my family. Do not be so hard on yourself sometimes we can't always know what the future holds in store for us but God called her home and she is no longer in any pain she is smiling down on you and like me with my mama your Nana is smiling down on you and watching over you.
Don’t ever apologize for feeling love for your family. We cry because we love…a wonderful lesson for all of us. 🙏
Take a RUclips break,spend the summer completely revolved around your daughter.I lost my daughter 14 yrs ago to cancer. You can't get missed time back and tomorrow isn't promised.
@@princessmariposa828 Words of wisdom God bless you and keep you in peace!
💜🙏💕
I agree!! On May 4, 2018, my 24 year old daughter went out on 'Date Night' with her boyfriend of 4 years. They were hit and killed instantly by a Drunk Driver. We all think we have time, especially with younger family members. We have all said losing a child is a parents worst nightmare, not one of us thinks it will happen to us but It does!!! No matter your age or lifestyle When God decides its your time, its your time!
Hope you can figure out a good balance, its never easy something will have to give just don't let it be the ones you love. You'll figure it out and be finel!❤
You are so right! I agree!
Thank y'all for the prayers for my hubby Brian. He passed away a month ago unexpectedly. I know I'll see him again as he is with Jesus. I'm struggling without him though. We were together for 41+ years. Prayers are greatly appreciated.🙏✝️❤️🕊️💜🌹
Prayers... God bless you dear..💜🌹🙏
Prayers for your husband Brian. Lord please hear our prayers and lift Brian up and hold him in your healing hands. Fill him and his family is up with and wrap them all with your white holy light. Lord hear our prayers
-Anen
🙏🙌🙏
❤❤ sending hugs
Praying for Brian and you. ❤️ 🙏
We cry and are emotional because it shows we care! 🥲💕💕❤️❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻🐿️🐿️
Yes it's a beautiful and cleansing thing.
Just a short note from an old man with a little bit of wisdom, when times get tough, just say Jesus!!! And keep saying it. Anyway, just give it a try, you will not be sorry. Be blessed, and know that you are a good, good mommy 😁👍🙏
Yes!! I always say
I am a child of Jesus until I can feel the peace come over me.
God Bless You
I say Amen 🙏 Sir!
Blessings to you and yours
My husband of 11 years passed away in 14 minutes to the day three weeks following a simple surgery. The best thing he left me was NO regrets, nothing left unsaid, no guilt of things we didn’t say (or did, but didn’t mean). I can’t tell you what as gift it was for me. He used to take my work phone from me when I came through the door at night, and he’d say “you’re on Brent’s time now, and I’m not sharing you with ANYONE. I’ve waited my whole life for you, and anything that comes up at your work, can wait until tomorrow”. After he died, and up til now, that is something I’ve done. One time I had an insurance guy at the house, and when he thought he’d been there long enough, he closed his computer, packed him up, told him to meet me for lunch, then ushered him out the front door. IF you don’t protect your time, then when something happens, you’ll have regrets. You can ALWAYS look at your phone, you may not always be able to talk to the person you love. Good luck, and choose wisely. ❤️❤️
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
I learned this 2 years ago. Nearly lost my wife to a botched surgery. Its been a climb to get back.
She's still here :)
It’s great that you have a mother you’re close to. Not all of us do. And you cry when you need to because you can do that with friends and that’s what we are here for. We all love ya kiddo.
It’s a blessing that your mom is moving closer to you and your family! NOTHING is more important than your family. Not even RUclips ! I lost my mother six years ago and I miss her terribly. My boys are grown and on their own, and I miss that . Time is short sister, make each moment count . God bless you !
When you start living 1 day at a time you will start living better
I heard raw milk can help many human problems.. mayo clinic declares dangerous for older adults and people with weakened immune system.. I'd like to try raw milk for health, but afraid . Bible reminds us to not fear..just learn to manage our problem or find root cause.
Oh my, what a message. The man in my life passed away in his sleep. I didn't find out until almost a month later. I don't take things for granted, but I never thought I'd outlive him. I haven't fully emotionally processed his passing. Michelle, this video has touched me so deeply. I'm sending you hugs. Make the chili everyone!
My best advice is to never ever leave anything unsaid, no matter how trivial it may seem.
Absolutely 👍 💛 🫶 💯
Never apologize for being you. You are real, raw and human. You are loved by the tribe and I wish I could give ya a big hug.
... I lost my mom six days after my 10th birthday. I turned 67 a month ago. Make the chili.
I feel for you. I lost my mom when I was 10 and now I'm 61. I agree with the belief you should make the chili.
This is a good reminder to all of us. You can’t reclaim the past but you can make the future. Forgive, make more important connections while you can. Love your spouse and children. Every day-a new day.
Girl don’t ever apologize for being REAL!! Your precious and if people don’t like it. Oh Well!!! ❤
I took care of my mom after my dad passed away in 2012. In 2015 my husband and I moved in to take care of her so she wouldn't have to go to nursing home. She had back surgery in 2017 and had to go to rehab at a nursing home. I was at hospital every day and at nursing home every day but Sunday. Sundays I spent with my husband and caught up on chores. I was so happy when she came home. In December of 2020 she had abdominal surgery. I was able to go into her hospital room every day. On Thursday, she was moved to nursing home again for rehab. The surgery caused her to have diarrhea, which caused her to have a horrible bleeding rash. So when I wasn't with her in hospital, she would not eat or drink. The nursing home would not let me go in and see her. I could only stand outside her window. This was due to covid. If mom did not test positive for covid after 14 days, then I could go in and see her. I could only call her, and I did. Sunday afternoon the nursing home called saying they couldn't wake her up and they wanted to know what hospital to take her to. Well of course the closest one. She had renal failure and respiratory distress and passes away Tuesday morning at 10:15 on 12-15. Here it is 3 1/2 years later and I'm still a bawling mess. I miss her so much. Her birthday is coming up, July 30. Michelle, make the chili. You will not regret spending time with your mom when she moves down here. I have so many wonderful memories with mom and I love telling them. Maybe one day I'll tell you a few of them. Now to listen to the rest of your video and cry with you. Big hugs and much love to you!!!
You never get over it. You just get better at hiding it. And every now and then you cry. Even if you're an old biker. Thanks for sharing, Michelle. You're the best neighbor I've ever had.
❤ good neighbors are such a blessing, I'm sure you are too!!
It's never bad to show you have a kind and loving heart. That's why we all care about .
I’m praying for you sweetheart. Today it was 11 years my husband passed away from cancer. Live your life with no regrets ❤
Keep the chair. My brothers granddaughter loves to rock in his little rocking chair he had as a child. ♥️
Nothing wrong with crying especially when our emotions are so strong. We care with our whole heart.
just a reminder to call my dad everyday twenty-year navy Vietnam veteran 91 years old we love you for the remainder
Don't ever apologize for for being emotional It's been 20plus years since my mom passed away and there are days when I miss her so much I wish I could talk to her one more time ❤
I can relate. My mom is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s so I can’t have a conversation with her. A few months ago, I had knee replacement surgery and I was in so much pain that I wanted my mommy like a little kid would.
My Mom passed in April. We had been estranged for years, but we had a really awesome last year. Everything that needed to be said was said. Spend time with your family!!! You will never get a do-over on that!
The rocker is staying in the family! Ely said yes! 😊
Your mom will be so proud of you for making this video. This will make a profound difference in some of the people watching this video. I know it will in mine. My Grammom passed away from leukemia 25 years ago this August 3rd and I still cry and miss her terribly. Make the chili is what I’m going to do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😘
I understand your emotions regarding your mom but "make the chili" needs to be applied to "the man" too. You left him out when talking about spending time with loved ones. You need to make sure that you set aside special time to "make the chili" with him. I am 70 years old and the hardest thing I had to learn was to "make the chili" with my husband. I was guilty of always setting aside time with the kids, parents and friends but I kept forgetting about him. He went through quadruple heart surgery and that is when I realized I was very close to not ever being able to make the chili with him and it changed everything.
Of all the things I miss about my father since he has passed is hearing him speak my name. If for just one more time Id give anything to hear his voice. Take the time you need.
Being close to your Mom will be such a blessing!
Ok, I’m crying. “Just make the chili. Just put the phone down” . Truth!
My dad died in 1998. I was 21 and I’m now 48. It never gets easier. I’m dreading the day my mom goes. She’s 86. My dad was 61 when he passed. Girl, you got me crying my eyes out. ((Hugs)) ❤️❤️
It’s been 27 years since my Mom passed away. She was the sunrise and sunset for me. We spent my birthday together on August 16, and she died suddenly the next morning. I didn’t take it well. 6 months later it put me in the hospital. Spend all the time you can with your loved ones. They are the most important things in your life. Hugs. ❤
Love is like a pie, everybody who counts gets a piece and you will not notice that yours is smaller. You honor Nanna by doing some of the things she taught you and make her smile .
God is taking care of Nannas pie.
Beautiful
Never apologize for showing emotions. Dont worry about your mom seeing this. She probably will cry, but it will be tears of love and pride. I know i would. I just started watching your videos. Sometimes you make me dizzy because of your energy! Today, I found you totally endearing.
When you think about and agonize over things like this, it just proves what kind of a person, mother, daughter, and wife you are. I think you are a gem!
I’m so glad your mom is moving close to you
Her Mama's makin the chili! Michelle, just do what you can. We are not perfect. Be real with your Mama about your time. :)
beautiful keep her close!so awesome!
Swiftly fade the years and once they start driving, they start working and then they fly away.
Love and memories never die, I'm putting on my tombstone.
This video really hit home for me. I lost my son unexpectedly last year, 6/28/2023. And, next week is the 10th anniversary of my mom's passing. There is no time limit on grief. Thinking of you and praying for you.
😢. So deeply sorry for your pain and loss, especially your child! Couldn’t imagine! My parents lost my 21 year old brother in 98. The family, especially mom and dad, has never been the same! Different lenses 😢🥺
Michelle, The Holy Spirit is talking to you very loudly about what you need to do. God gives us the grace to work it out. Ask Him to help you because He will. Sometimes we need to get shaken up a bit to get it right. Peace and Blessings girl. Go make some chili!!!😢😊💖🌞😘
My mom passed away 14 years ago and I still cry when I think or talk about her. My younger brother passed away 8 years ago and my dad passed away last year. It never gets easier, but death is going to happen to all of us. Enjoy life while you can and try not to think about the sad things. My hubby of 47 years found out in November that he has diabetes. Getting older sucks but on a happier note our great grandson just turned one, he was born 4 days before my dad passed away. I have three grown kids, four beautifull grandkids and an adorable great grandson. Lots of lovely times to look forward to.
No, it doesn’t get easier..We weren’t married, but we were together for 10 years… We had three kids, two boys, and a girl. I didn’t find out I was pregnant with our daughter until 3 weeks after he died. She was born 4 days before his birthday.
50 yrs last wk for me. I still cry.😢
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, is worth losing time with your family. When time does end, you will regret spending time on social media, but you will never regret the time spent with your daughter and husband.
It’s not just social media to her it’s work. She had to do both to survive
Your right.." Make the Chili!!"" Love you for just being yourself...
We lost out son in December 16th..2016..he was 24yrs old was goingbto be a police officer, was on his way for his interview with 2 others goingbto the same..place for jobs. Long story short. It was foggy bad fog..they got Tboned..he threw his arm up to save his friend in front seat..our son was driving..in that instance his neck broke and was killed on impact ..I'm so thankful for the board games we played all our card games..and the times I picked him up and returned him to college myself...and the silly things we did..singing on the top of our lungs..especially christmas songs!!I miss him everyday..Christmas time is hard..but I've got to where I can listen to the musicians smile..from our memories!!So yes make the chili !! Life can change in a blink of an eye...
Love listening to you..things like this are real life..and myself personally glad you put it out there❤❤❤
🫂💝
😢. Praying for you! My parents went through this in 1998! Kids shouldn’t go first 😢😢!
So very sorry
They say God takes the good ones
Bless you
I hope you have some peace
Love Michelle
@michellemcclintock7074 Thank you..your right the good ones go first..it's hard still have days..but now I can think of Ty when something reminds me of him and smile sometimes I cry but I can smile more now..but thank you for your reply ❤️🙏
Just know your grandma is your guardian angel I know she's always with you and she feels your love❤️🙏❤️🙏
Hugs 😢❤
My mom passed suddenly 20 years ago from a brain aneurysm. I was 20. She never met my kids. Cherish the moments you have with the ones you love. 🌻
I'm so relieved that you have a common sense. 4 years ago, I allowed my husband to go on a medicine and I didn't read the side effects. The number one side effect turned out to be a pulmonary embolism. He passed away in his birthday. I hope other people hear what you're saying. God bless you and your whole family. ❤
Yes! So many people just blindly follow what their doctor says and trust that they're making the best decision. Unfortunately that's not always true, especially these days 😔 I'm very sorry for your loss 😔
Oh my, I am so sorry to hear that. God bless. ❤
As a mom of 3 grown children, I can tell you that you will NEVER regret putting that phone down or seeing that movie or talking about that friend/school. She's gonna graduate & move on with her life. I lost both of my parents; one in 2011 & 2014. You can't recover lost days. You're having a realization that time is truly short. So sweetheart...."make the chili" with all your loved ones. ❤
Oh sweety, please cry! Don’t worry about us….we’ll still. Be here for you!! We love you!❤
My grandfather passed, my grandmother moved to TN, the greatest blessings of my life. My grandmother passed away on my birthday 2015. She was a very active person, with a garden in the back yard, making food for the church, banana nut bread and zucchini bread for the family. She had just tried to get up to use the bathroom one night and fell and broke her neck. We checked on her daily, extremely hard to lose someone you love so quickly. And you really never know when, where, or how? Always cherish those you love. 😢 I hope sharing your story has helped you through this wave of sadness.
It's never easy. Remember how blessed you are. And how it will be again one day.
The rocking chair will bring new memories when you have your own grandchildren.. Trust me, you'll regret it when you do..
Tomorrow is not promised. I learned that the hard way. I became a widow before 30. Always tell those you love that you love them. That way no matter what happens they will always know that you love them.
There is no time limit on grief. My husband has been gone for 23 years now.
When your kid says put your phone down you must do it. She is the priority and always should be. Nothing is more important than her. When she is asking for your attention do it. If you keep saying no she will stop asking.
This! 10 years ago, my 19 year old nephew was shot and killed. My daughter was close to her cousin, and she was devastated. We all were. Starting then, we always tell each other I love you at the end of every conversation, regardless.
16 years since my little girl died, 8 years since my dad died, 31 days since my mom died, I know how come those three little words hit so hard.
I was so close to my mother. She passed 6 months ago. I find myself wanting to tell her things and then realize she isn't here anymore. 😢
Bless you, my mum passed just over a year ago..I still "talk" to her x
Yes, I still “talk” with my mum too.
20 years ago, and I still want to talk to her, then remember
My Mom would never start taking any new medicine at night. It does make sense to me. If you have any bad reactions you will know faster if you are awake. Regarding having regrets for not doing something with someone, or doing something…. I have decided that worrying about the choices if I made the right choice or not. will make me crazy. My mother was good at doing guilt trips on me if I didn’t do what she wanted me to do. So I finally decided to rely on God to help me to make the right choice. God wants us to be happy and wants us to rely on Him. You cannot live life having regrets like this. God will help you. I pray you will succeed in relying on God through your faith in him, as he will not steer you wrong.
Michelle I'm sitting here with tears running down my face because my mom went to the hospital and she had a blood infection. They gave her a drug that killed her and it's been 3 years ago and I still can't get past my Anger and the hurt I feel. I should have been there and like you said, for whatever selfish reason I wasn't or I would have stopped them from giving my mom that drug but being a Nurse myself, I thought my mom was in the safest place she could be in. Now I hate the Medical Field. I hate Doctors, and I will die before I ever step foot back in a hospital. I don't care how sick I get. 💔💔💔
I'm so sorry for your great loss. If you are lucky enough to have a good Mom they are so very special to us. I lost my mom in 2011. She went in for a small procedure and she became septic in the hospital and died. She was the greatest RN in the world. Now I hate that hospital (where she worked 2x in her career, once as a floor supervisor) I hate the Dr and nurses and the entire medical community. I don't hate them as much as I used to and a little less each year but I miss my mom more each year. Hang on to the anger for awhile because it's serving a purpose. God bless you and yours.
I feel your pain. 💔
The hospital killed my mother, too. Not a small error.
@@lynnewright31 I tried to be the best Nurse I could be because I wanted so much to help people. When that happened to my mom, it just tore my heart out of my chest. You aren't considered a sick patient anymore, your just a paying customer in a bed. It makes me sick to think that Doctors care so little about people and a lot of Nurses are just there to get a paycheck. Doctors prescribe pills to keep you sick so you will have to keep going back to them. They don't care about you or your loved ones. It makes me sick to think that they can kill people and just get away with it. The loss of my mom never gets easier and time doesn't seem to heal the pain. It just makes me miss her more and more every day.
@@betsybarnicle8016 I regret my decision to ever become a Nurse. They get away with far too much. Doctors don't care about patients. A lot of Nurses don't care about their patients. They just want the paycheck and you are nothing more to them than a paying Customer.
I lost my adult son three years ago. His life was tragically taken when he was riding his bicycle to work and a truck hit him. I have never been the same losing a child has to be the worst loss ever I remember that last time I saw him he gave me an extra, long hug. Now I know why
I am so, so sorry for your terrible loss.❤
My heart cries with you may God bless and comfort you
God bless you, sweetie. I lost my 41 year old son on 12/14/23…. 11 days before Christmas which was his birthday. I know l will never be the same. It’s absolutely the most devastating pain to lose your child💔😢💔😢
God bless you, sweetie. I lost my 41 year old son on 12/14/23…. 11 days before Christmas which was his birthday. I know l will never be the same. It’s absolutely the most devastating pain to lose your child💔😢💔😢
@@cynthiapeterson2740 I agree. May God continue to comfort you
Omg girl, I was crying with you. This is why I love you sooooo much!! You are real! Chin up and don’t hold back the tears. It’s ok to show emotions. Wish I could give you a huge hug!!!!!
Thanks for the reminder, Michelle. Bless your heart ♥. I lost a brother four years ago. He went to bed one night and never woke up. Just like that, poof he was gone. I have a sister who lives a couple hundred miles away and is in so much pain most days. She and I talk on the phone a few times a week and hearing her pain is heartbreaking. I need to get down there to see her and my brother in law asap. We never know. I agree, make that chili sooner and not later. I'm sure you'll make time for "The Kid" more and for your Mom when she moves closer to you. Life is a series of many lessons. Thanks for sharing. I was crying with you and wanted to hug you ❤
Im sorry for your loss. If you don’t mind answering, what did your brother die from? I ask because five years ago as I was just about to get into bed, I blew my nose and felt something like a lightening bolt hit the top of my head and travel down my spine. I had no idea what is was and I was thinking of just going to bed and see what happens. I would have died in my sleep. Turns out it was a ruptured brain aneurysm.
I totally feel for what you are going through, 12 years ago, in July I lost my dad, from heart disease, spent the remainder of that week with my mom driving her around to take care of business from my dad's passing. I went back to work and three days later, at work, I was told that my mother had passed, she was fighting breast cancer. All of the treatments she was getting was failing, so they put her on an experimental treatment. That treatment was working, because her cancer was almost gone, but there was a side effect from that treatment, which was blood clotting and the blood clot ended up in her lungs. When I last talked to her on the phone in the hospital, she told me she was not ready to die. My whole life changed after that. My parents were the ones that brought our family together, now I never see my family. What I am trying to say, is do what you can right now as a family, because when all of your parents are gone family tends to split up and go their own separate ways. Be happy that your loved one wants to be near you, because that can change in a second. Take care and spend as much time with your loved ones as possible.
Mama Squirrel you are so adorable!!!
Just put your phone down. I've been raising my granddaughter since birth, she's 16 now. I cherish the minutes and seconds she lets me in, just a fleeting moment. I love when she decides to stay home and we make banana bread together.
NEVER APOLOGISE FOR REAL EMOTIONS. You are such a breath of fresh air!
I am a 67 y.o. disabled woman who has been widowed twice. The first time I was 25 and had 2 preschoolers. He was 29 and died in a roll-over truck accident when he was on a camping trip with a friend. All our dreams died that day and I had to build a new life for my children. Then I met my 2nd husband and our lives changed for the better. He helped raise my kids and they were truly HIS kids. When we got the news that he had stage 4 liver cancer in 2020, it was devastating. He died 8 months later. And after he died, the mental problems my children inherited from their biological father's family showed up. They abandoned me, taking my 2 beautiful granddaughters with them. They hate me and blame me for everything they don't have in their lives. They say their childhood was terrible. But I remember it differently. I remember the laughter and fun we had especially after my 2nd husband came into our lives.
During my 2nd marriage, I lost many family members. I no longer have my parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, inlaws or a nephew. Truthfully, I have only one sibling and he lives 500 miles away and is dealing with his wife who is dying of cancer too.
I wish all my loved ones were still here. And I wish my children didn't hate me. I also wish with all my heart that my granddaughters were still in my life. But here's the thing: We have no control over our loved ones lives or their deaths. We are all only here on LOAN. We like to forget that and since life is so busy, we often do, until we lose someone. I have lost so many loved ones and I've learned that you should CHERISH EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WITH THEM. They say to never go to sleep angry at your loved ones. I agree. At least give them a hug and tell them good night. It may be the last time you get to do that. And the same for when they leave to go somewhere, even work or school. Life is so unpredictable and you don't always get a long goodbye. Many times its like my 1st husband and one day you're telling them not to forget to stop at the store on the way home from work and the next day you answer a knock on the door in the early morning on a Saturday, to see a Police Officer and your Parish Priest standing there and your life changes forever.
God bless you. You're such a kind hearted, sweet person. I'll keep you in my prayers and ask God to give you strength and peace: strength to handle all that you have in your life and all that is coming, and peace that you'll handle it knowing that He is right there with you and will never leave your side.
*Make The Chili!*
Yes, Michelle, "Daughter of the Year Award" because you carry and show such deep love for your mom and family. Even for all of humanity. Flowing tears are nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Ever. You, and they, are precious. Thank you for the Chili reminder. Shared tears with you and sending a rocking hug. 💞
So much truth in your video today. Don’t apologize for being real. You’re realizing what is really important. Hold onto those thoughts about family, it is all that matters.
I had acrylic on my nails for 15+ years. Took them off years ago now, but my nails were very fragile at the time. As they grew out the original nails came in stronger and better than before artificial nails. Your nails WILL get better... Sending HUGE hugs to all of you to show support for everything going on currently... Don't forget to BREATHE!! Love y'all.
To try to explain that my BFF and I were close.....there are no words. God made us from the same mold. 2 years before she went to Heaven she was out to dinner celebrating 3 birthdays with her 3 sisters. Every January they had a thing where they all got together to celebrate. My BFF kept having a sharp pain in her right side for months ......went to the doctor....he did a physical and found nothing. 2 weeks later she was in the restaurant with her sisters ......they had just finished dinner and she was waiting for her chocolate cake to arrive. All of a sudden a sudden excruciating pain hit her and she collapsed. An ambulance was called and they took her to the hospital. I get a phone call from her daughter telling me they are waiting at the hospital for the results of all the tests they did. I jumped in my car.....drove to hospital with the worst terrified feeling I have ever felt in my life. I got there to find her family crying. They told me the doctor had just been in to tell them she had stage 4 liver cancer. My BFF had just been told. They let me in to see her. She was hooked up to an IV with Morphine. She was no longer in pain and feeling pretty good. I sat down beside her on her bed like she asked me to do. She giggled for a bit telling me how pissed off she was that she never got her cake! I chuckled with her because I knew how important chocolate was for her. Then she took a moment and stopped.....took my hand looked me straight in the eye and said....I'm gonna fight this.....but I still know I'm gonna die. I need to tell you something that's so important.....ok? "Always eat your cake first!" I will always Love her and look forward to seeing her again in Heaven. While she was going through her last days I went to her house every day after work. The day of she told me to lay down on the bed beside her and to hold her hand. She could barely breathe let alone move. She told me she would be waiting for me in Heaven, that when I got there she would greet me holding 2 margaritas then show me where the cabana was to hang out and listen to Jimmy Buffet music. She was 58 when she passed. The irony is I'm 68 and was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. So I am now fighting the fight I watched her go through. But it's ok. I am at peace with whatever happens it's up to God. If I survive then it's because God wants me here. But if I don't then I know that when I get off the elevator going up......and the doors open....first I'll see Jesus and I'll thank him for giving his life for us. Then right behind him will be my BFF......standing there with the margaritas and I'm sure she'll ask me......did you bring chocolate cake?
😢

Never apologize because you have feelings and you're human. We're all crying with you. Great message, thank you :)
You are a great mom, wife and daughter!
You are absolutely right. Spend more time with the ones that you love. I thought I always had more time with my mom, and I always thought I’ll do it tomorrow with her, I’ll take her tomorrow, if will spend more time tomorrow, And one day that tomorrow never came. She past away 11 months ago, from cancer. If I could have one more day with her I wouldn’t leave her side. I would show how important she was to me. I hate myself for not spending the time with her and making her feel special. Because she was very special to me. So spend time with your loved ones because nobody is promised tomorrow. This was a very touching video, and it made me cry. Thank you for putting this out to the public it just shows that you have feelings and a heart.
Never control it!! It's who you are!! I'm right there with you!! I'm going to make the chili!!!💔❤
Your mama is a big girl, she can pick up and go again if she wants. Being around to enjoy her grandchild is a great thing and there are so many senior activities in Florida
I feel your pain and understand. My significant other passed away unexpectedly 9 years ago. No need to apologize for the tears. Wish I could give you a hug. Take care.
I also lost my husband 9 years ago next month. Virtual hugs.
Girl you cannot live with these thoughts! Your mom will make new friends and find her way.
Put your phone down. Nothing you do on YT is worth not taking the time to spend with your daughter while you can. Trust me.
It’s her JOB!
@@rachemlil true, but there is time management. She can arrange to have time for her daughter & comment checking at another time.
😮people amaze me
@@momp7218 Some people are Amazing and some make me scratch my my head in amazon land.❤
My mom worked at least 3 jobs my whole life. Me and my husband always worked opposite shifts because I didn't want to send my kids to daycare. Now as a single mom they stay with their father 3 days while I work. After I put my 40 hours in l, in 3 days I then take them theater 4. Although we are not together we make sure they stay out of daycare. He's been the stay at home dad over the years.
My adult son passed away seven months ago 💔 I can't tell you how important your message in this video is... You hit every nail on the head. We do tend to not remember that the last time you see or talk to someone very well is or could be “the last time". I just wanted to hug you through this video and say thank you for sharing this message and reminding everyone how precious each person is and how nothing will stay the same... Keep doing what you're doing ❤
This video showed your mom how deeply you love her. Love you sis 🙏🗡🛡❤
Put your phone down, make the chili! Enjoy time with your mom and mother in law.❤️
Never apologize for showing your emotions!
My dad passed away 9 years ago today. I miss him every day. My mom has been gone 2 years now too and the hole in my heart is huge. I just have to remember how much they loved me and do my best to love others. Bless you Michelle.
You're going through a lot of changes in your life right now. Your daughter's going into high school, your hubby has a rotator cuff problem, your mom's moving closer to you, & you're probably perimenopausal all at the same time. You're being pulled in so many different directions. Don't ever feel bad about "springing a leak" from those beautiful eyeballs here. Let it flow. It's cleansing. Bottling it up isn't healthy. I think we've all been there & done that & understand.
& oh honey, I know exactly how you feel! I'm 70. My high school girlfriend went in for a hernia surgery. They nicked her aorta & she bled out. I had just talked to her the night before. I still get weepy when a Facebook memory pops up that she commented on.
I've shared that same story about making the chili.
Love you. You can cry on my shoulder anytime. Big hugs.
Michelle, thank you for posting this, we all need a reminder to pay more attention to our friends and families. Better now than later. ❤
Please do not apologize for feeling upset and/or crying about thinking about what if someone passed. You are human and allowed to have feelings and get upset about things. My son passed a little over 7 years ago he was only 8 yrs 6 months old exactly. It feels like just yesterday. He is a constant on my mind and I still have emotions everyday. It is ok to cry.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and this video touched my heart so, so much. I really respect your bravery recording this.... PLEASE do not feel bad or apologize for your tears, God gave us that ability.
I just wanted to share with you and everyone that has commented here, that "Make the Chili" message is priceless.
We need to spend that time with our loved ones while we can ,,it's absolutely required in this life!!
I know all too well. The horror of losing one of one's children even though he was my youngest adult child my son was still my boy. He passed him away in his sleep with no warning.Due to undiagnosed heart problems and his history of chronic obstructive sleep apnea, he was only 27. He had gotten healthier and lost weight, but still his history of obstructive sleep apnea was the primary cause of his passing. He loved the Lord dearly, he's with Jesus and I'll see him again. With that separation, and the loss is monumental, and I have to live with that.
Never apologize for sharing what's in your heart. Both my parents are gone and i had to go through the guilt of feeling that I didnt spend enough time with my parents even though they lived right at my back door basically. There is never enough time. So indeed, "Make the Chili"
You’re a kind soul! It’s always good when we get even the gentlest of wake-up calls to make us remember what is really important in life!
You are so right, make the chili, play the game,hug that person.
1st time to your channel. I had to grab the box of Kleenex because I was crying right with you, remembering when I should have "cooked the chili." My Aunt, who is more like a sister (close in age and we grew up together in the same household) who had cancer asked me to stay the night with her, I said maybe next week. I didn't want my uncle on the couch with me in his bed. 2 Days later she became unconscious. I stayed there then, sleeping on their couch, every night for 3 weeks until her death. I don't know, if she knew I was there, every night or not. I will forever regret not staying the night, the night she asked me to.
I’m so proud that you are aware how important the time with the ones you love is. I lived 35 years in Alaska and my folks lived in Texas. I moved to Texas to take care of my parents when their health started failing. I so regret the time I missed being so far away. Thankful for the few years I got after moving back. Now our kids and grandkids are still in Alaska and we can’t afford to move back. We see them as often as we can and what a joy that brings. Life moves too fast 💨. Make good memories ❤😊
Thank you for this reminder. Every time I read this same post, it really hits my feels.
Do not be sorry. Your heart knows you are safe here with us.😊
You will find a way to make it all work out!! It will also be good for your daughter to have her Nana closer. They can make special memories together as you did with yours! And yes ALWAYS MAKE THE CHILI !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ MUCH LOVE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Girl you made me cry. Time is going so fast that we can't keep up with it. So cherish and welcome your momma every minute you can.
Loved loved loved this video!! ❤I am sure there was something we all needed to hear in it!!
There are no guarantees in life Michelle. Don’t assume 4 years won’t change anything. Appreciate your Mom and learn all about her while you can, as not all get to grow elderly. Said with love. 💛
You are fine. Don't let anyone tell you how long you can grieve.
Don’t apologize! If you’re going to be emotional about anything it should be your family. Definitely spend time with those you love. I have my mom and my husband, everyone else is gone.
“Make the chili.” ❤ prayer for your mom’s move.
You had me😭😭😭. No need to be sorry. You are human with a very big caring heart. ❤ I'm going to make sure that I "make the chili". No one is guaranteed tomorrow. I'm 52 and si thankful and blessed to still have both of ny parents. 80 and 81. I can't fathom my life without them. 😔
I can just see 'Squirrel Tribe 3.0/ Mom and Me' starting in September/October. And that's a good thing. Another good thing is your daughter starting her own business doing nails. You do know that little buffer thingy is nothing more than a pretty Dremel... they make one for dog nails, too. Now. Gag reflex. I have no problem dealing with that, BUT have a serious problem with a leaky faucet. Do they make flavored condoms? Now laugh with me and let next week take care of itself. Love you, girl.
Listening to this today really hit me hard because I went to a viewing at a funeral home for a co worker and dear friend that was younger than me that died. It hit me hard. I am in shock and crying. I knew her son. He cried when he saw me and I cried also. When we had trainings, she would invite me to her office to eat lunch together. It will be hard when we have trainings again because she is no longer here to invite me to her office to eat lunch with her. Also I lost my mom 20+ years ago and I miss her a lot. Spend as much time with your mom as you can and if you can't call her everyday just to chat. That is what I did with my mom and to this day, I miss the conversations we had together over the phone. What I learned today, was "life is short, go make memories before you can't make memories anymore."
