As a nurse I think you need to say “no matter what comes I will be here with you. No matter what comes, I will be here.” You cannot make false promises that you cannot deliver on. Just let your boy know that you love him and you will be with him. No matter what. It’s hard to watch people you love suffer and fight the good fight. There are services out there for cancer patients families for counseling for patients and the families. You aren’t responsible for his recovery no matter how much you may want to be. I know it’s devastating. I have been in your shoes caring for a suffering family member. Hardest thing I have had to do. I have done hospice nursing for years. Get some help. Do what the doctors tell you and listen to what they say. Denial is very strong in mothers. We always want to be in control of our families and the care. There is an old adage is let go and let God. Praying for your family
What an encouraging and motivating words for Kelly. Thank you for sharing your testimony to her. I am hoping she will heed your words. You must be a wonderful person.
PS I also wanted to add that after reading other comments here that I am truly blown away at the amazing community you have created here and I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of it!
Remember you are in the prayers of a lot of people and Jesus is there when others can't be. Hang on to his hands. Right now he is carrying you. 🙏🌹🕊️🌹✝️
There is no doubt that I will continue to keep you all in my prayers... Ray WILL get through this... And you take all the time you need.. I know I'll continue to rewatch your videos... 👍😁👍😁🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I lost my son 1.5 yrs ago and thought I could handle it through my faith and family and be ok. Nope. I did not realize how much I had suppressed. I was his caretaker for 9 mos before he passed at 34. Monday 2/6 will be my first therapy appt. I am praying for you and your son. I feel you. 😢
I went through Stage 3 colon cancer last year. My treatment after surgery began in January 2022, so listening to you brought my memories to the present. The realness of what cancer does to your body, mind and spirit through the months. I saw the fear and helplessness in my husband's eyes, I heard it in my friends voices, and I watched my children face Mom's mortality. My first colonoscopy after treatment was last week and it was clear. My final PET scan is in early February. (Scanxiety is real.) I'm reclaiming my life and I pray Ray, and all who love him, will too. 🙏
God bless you. 🙏 Could you please tell me some of the symptoms you faced with colon cancer I have a scheduled colonoscopy and I am praying that whatever I'm going through is not going to be alarming.
I will pray for a perfect scan. I have stage 3 also. I got through radiation and phase 1 of chemo without too many side effects. I just started phase 2 chemo and have already needed 8 days in the hospital. I have 6 more infusions , then surgery.
I've been a silent watcher for the most part but I feel compelled as a mom, to a mom, to tell you that I am keeping your family in my continued prayers. Also, I want to tell you how much you inspire me, not only through your crafts, but as a mom,and a caregiver to your baby boy, you are a tremendously strong person and kindness exudes from you . Your heart is beautiful Kelly. I will send you comfort, strength, love, and a well needed hug for both of us as I need one too . because I struggle to keep strong for and with my son. He has health issues as well. I can only encourage him to fight for his life . Its his fight but i will certainly push him with all of the strength i can muster . and I hope that i can fight as hard as you do . You havecan army of people praying for you. Good luck with the future results of rays pet scan
This was hard to watch because as a mother saying our children go through anything that hurts them hurts us so much that as us said can make you physically sick. I just want you to know that I will keep you and your family in my prayers but God will give you the strength you need to be as a caretaker and that God will heal Ray’s body and restore his strength May God bless you all
( This is Matt's wife) Not that me alone does anything but I just wanted to let you know that we have an extra laptop and I have run your play list non stop since you told us about Ray to get you play hours to help with income. My prayers include you and family nightly. God bless you all!!!
Wow didn't know Thats how it worked .! I will do the same. God bless Kelly and Ray and entire family. Asking God in prayer through His Holy Spirit that this entire family come close to Jesus . HE WILL CARRY THEM ALL. ie: FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND.
Miracles happen. My husband was diagnosed with throat cancer in July. After going through chemo and radiation he is doing well. I gave it to God to give me peace and to heal my Lane. Don't give up girl. I pray for your Ray every night and ask God to heal him of his cancer. It's tough really tough but God will bring you both through this. Much love.
So grateful your husband is doing well, that’s the greatest news ones hear! I’ve had 2 kids w/ cancer, my mom, me, just when you hear good, we must always celebrate! Wishing your husband, you, family, the best. Much love. 🎗
The fear you've experienced is real. I think you have been so scared that your body has been on a fast track to be everything to everybody. Its going to hit you that your body and mind HAVE to slow down! You all will find your stride in this new normal. I'm so glad you've chosen to slow that revving machine down and regenerate, or you will burn and crash. I lost my beloved mother, then my dad after and then I was diagnosed with a disease that has caused 14 surgeries. I also go through infusion with a drug for stomach cancer. Its been so very hard and depression is real. With this progressing, I have to know when to stop to take care of myself. I am alone -- you all are so very lucky to have your family. I do have some very good friends that care and help me. You're a terrific person, Kelly. You're loved and cared for by many. Be good to yourself...it's important so you can be ready to get back on that Rollercoaster 🎢!! Hugs and so much love to you and your darling son.
Don't apologize for not putting out new content. You have your priorities in order. We aren't going anywhere. You, Ray, and the girls are in my prayers, and his medical team are in my prayers.
Miracles happen everyday so I’m sending prayers up for Miracles to come down. You do what you need to do for you so you can be all you can be for your family. You got an Army for prayer warriors praying for you and your family. Praying for all of you and remember you are worth it and you can do this.
When my 33 yo daughter was diagnosed with cancer during the COVID lockdown, I shared many of the sentiments that you initially spoke about. After she started to decline, reality set in but I stayed positive in front of her. That is so important, whether you feel genuine or not. I am so sorry that you and your family have to go through this. Keep your friends and family close!
My heart with you!! But you will endure. The Lord will hold you up. You aren't alone. I know its really hard when get back home in your room. Just remember you are loved and we are here for you! Blessings to you and your family.
You and your family are so loved. I’m praying for you. Remember God is right there with you and your family every step of the way. When you get down, light a candle. Every time you look at it through out your day remind yourself of His Light and Love.
As parents, Kelly, we want to always be there and fix things for our children no matter what their age. IT's that Mother Bear syndrome wanting to protect our cubs. You are an awesome lady. You are not feeling anything that us as Mothers haven't felt for our children. Taking care of you is the best thing you can do to help your son get through this challenge. IT is still his personal journey. No matter what, your love is what he needs the most right now. YOu can't change this for him. YOu can only be there for him and he will know you love him, it will make his challenge a little bit easier. This journey takes each of us to our own personal challenges. It is very hard to sit back and realize nothing you do can change what is happening. Just know you are loved by your viewers. Your channel is a bright light to all who enjoy your content. You are a strong Woman. And your sharing your feelings will help yourself and many others when they are faced with a challenge in their journey through life. Thank you for your words and sharing them.
Kelly, you are an amazing mom. I think there are few things that can completely knock the air out of a person the way watching your child go through something so hard and feeling helpless to fix it. I know that your devotion to Ray and the girls is making a difference for them. Give yourself grace and allow yourself the moments of release that you need so that you can recharge again. You are making a difference even though you may feel helpless and your children are all the better off for it. Praying for you and your family.
still praying hard. my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer.....and one doctor said "I'd do nothing, get your affairs in order". got a second opinion, (wonderful doctor) and that was four years ago. he's fine......I prayed for a miracle, and got it. praying for you and Ray.
When my son had his life threatening health crisis, I remember feeling like, "I'm the mother. My job is to fix things." Accepting that I couldn't fix this did cause me to feel depressed, but I was so busy every day taking care of him that it hit me later. What I know is that we need to grieve for our child going through such trauma. Be kind and gracious to yourself, Kelly. ❤❤❤
Please don't ever deny you're an awesome mom! You are the best! Not only do you support your son through his journey, you also try to continue being the loving, caring, mom you are to your daughter. You are very strong and I admire you so much...keep the faith and prayers are going up continuously for Ray and your entire family and situation. God Bless you!!!! ❤❤❤
Depression affects your whole body.. from a deep sadness to hair loss and never wanting to even go outside ... it truly changes you I was the caregiver for my husband so I know about depression. Praying for healing for Ray and prayers for you and your girls' strength and comfort of heart for you all A game face is very important for your son it gives him hope 🙏 🙏 🙏 hugs and love being sent to you through prayer ❤️
I have been all along your journey all along and praying for all the family. I am praying for healing for u all. God to heal and take the cancer away. Love to u and Ray and the whole family.
I'm happy to hear some good news from the doc and how he was surprised that there wasn't any pain by his tumor, thank you Jesus. and i can't wait to hear the good news I'm sure he'll get from his pet scan. We are here for ray and you, take your time and do what you need to do well be here when you're ready to come back. Continued prayers.
not a dry eye in the house. . . We love you and your talks so much. We are Praying for you and Ray So So Much. I Promise to Watch as Many of Your Older Videos as Possible and Hope I can Encourage others to do the same. They are so Great. What You can do with a few inexpensive Supplies, is so Amazing. Stay Strong. We Got Your Back. We Will Watch Your Videos 5X so that you can take those breaks when you need them. Thanks So Much for the Update. Take Care of You, Ray and All of Your Family.
I honestly don't know how you're still standing. Your positive attitude and love for your kids is heartfelt and easily my favorite part of you as a person. Kelley I've watched my child suffer and it about killed me. Keep on being the woman and Mother you are. We all need to crawl inside, figure it out, get back up and remember to breathe. Just breathe sweetheart, I'm praying for you and the kids. 🙏🙏
Prayers still going up for your family. Remember to give yourself some self love through all of this. So important for you to take care of yourself so you can be there for your family. Depression is awful and it can take over if you aren’t careful. You are an amazing mom and such a wonderful spirit. We are all behind you.
Gosh Kelly my heart hurts for you ! Let's all just pray for positive results ! I've worked in surgery for a lot of years, and I actually have seen one woman with stage four pancreatic cancer who only had 3 to 6 months and went through all the same things as Ray's going through with her chemo ! The surgeon released her to oncology because there was nothing more he could do ! We were sad bc we loved her ! Then one day she came into our doctors office a year and a half later with thank you donuts for us all looking happy and healthy and in remission she was leaving and going to Florida and getting married and she said God is good. Prayers are good. We were all shocked and happy to see her so there are miracles let's just pray for one for Ray! ❤🙏🙏
Kelly, I'm so sorry you & your Family have to go through this. I constantly Praying for Ray's Recovery. God's Arms are wrapped around you. You have my Love & the Love of the Whole RUclips Community! May God Continue to Bless, Love & Keep You, Ray & your Entire Family. LovU, Juana Pitts
My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in the fall, and we are doing treatment #6 (infusions every two weeks) today as I watched this video. Thank you for being real and sharing your heart. It’s an incredibly hard time, and I agree with your experience of the holidays as you described. It was so difficult. Thank you for being so real. My prayers are with you.
Please be gentle with yourself 💕 You are an awesome Mom. By allowing yourself to feel your feelings, letting them show and sharing about them, you are being a beautiful role model. Being real is a huge gift you are giving your children and I’m certain countless others. Continuing to send powerful prayers and warm hugs to you all. 💕
Oh Honey, please do not give another thought to putting out more content. We are here and not going anywhere. We love you guys and we will support you for as long as it takes. FELLOW SUPPORTERS: Let's make a goal of listening to playlists and running them in the background if you have unlimited data. Let's support our Girl in the only way most of us can, by watching a lot of her channel. Stay strong Kelly, you are doing a great job and you are an awesome mom to all 3 of your kids. Hugs and prayers.
My prayers continue to be with your family. I am entering year 6 after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and hope is the thing to hold onto tight. I go every 3 weeks for immunotherapy and so far it is keeping the cancer stable and allowing me to still be here. Kelly, you are an inspiration and your words do touch hearts. 🙏🏻🙏🏻Prayers to get through each day (I’m an officer’s Mom, too) 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
Kelly thank you so much for sharing your thoughts hard as they are at times. When my mom passed 3 years ago I bought this frame saying “If God brings you to it He will see you through it”. I truly believe that. You and your family are in our prayers.
Hi Kelly. Don't beat yourself up over this. You have never been through this before. Take one day at a time as you go through this process. It is ok not to be ok. You have a lot of ppl who love you and who support you....much love. Will be praying for you and your fam.... Lean on God's grace. You are not alone in this battle....
Kelly I am so sorry you are going thru this with Ray! I know as a mother if you could take this on yourself instead of Ray you would do it!! You are doing the right thing by trying to stay positive in front of him!! Prayers continue you all of you my friend but especially Ray!!!❤️
Kelly I know exactly what you are going through and I feel every bit of your emotion. My son fought cancer 3 times from the age of 18 to 28. My son's story ended with him passing away from Covid on January 4, 2022. I know Ray is going to get through this. Please do not feel guilty for not doing enough or not being able to fix it. I still carry so much guilt for not being able to protect my son and I wish I could let it go. I'm rooting for you, Ray and your girls. Hugs ❤
I admire you Kelly so much! I love how you love your children and how you keep such a positive attitude. I can only imagine what you are going through, but please know I’m keeping each one of you in prayer. Hugs and love to you and your family. Tell Ray we are behind him 100%❤
As a cancer caretaker for my husband who has stage 4 lung cancer, I feel your pain. The only thing we can do is put it all in God's hands and stay positive and supportive. I love you !!!!
As I went through my cancer journey I kept saying to myself, well at least it isn't one of my kids. Hugs to you mama bear. My mom was my rock. One day she held me and we cried together and slow danced to "wake me up when September ends". Knowing she'd see me through no matter which way it went brought me peace. I felt either way it's gonna be ok. Prayers to you and your family. Don't lose faith ever.
God bless you Kelly. You know there’s medicine you can take for a few days to help you. Anxiety and depression medication. I know I take both . Very helpful. You are right your world has been rocked with Rays cancer. Who’s world wouldn’t be. I think you are doing a great job. You do need sometime for yourself too. Prayers for strength and healing.
Thank you for the update and for keeping it real. Your openness and honesty are teaching us about resiliency and that while hard knocks can lay us flat, we must take the time we need to find our center balance again and when we do we can and will rise once more. Sending all the positive energy and prayers to you, Ray, and your daughters.
❤ you have to take time. Your health is important too. You know we love you and your family. You are all in my thoughts every day. Thanks for the update. Rest. And do what you need to do for your family
Kelly, continuing to pray for you and the family. If you need to go to the place that brings you peace please go. If a short trip would bring you peace and center your soul it would strengthen you to be strong for everybody. It may not be the ideal situation but at least find a spot where you can center yourself! Self care is important when you are going through tough times. Thank you so much for the update!
We are your prayer warriors, yours and Rays. I lost a good friend today to ovarian cancer. But I wanted to let you know that your crafting has helped me get through her cancer battle. Two years ago tomorrow my brother suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, my mother passed away on December 21,2013. Since then Christmas has been horrible to me, but this passed year my friend who was going through the cancer battle told me love the minutes, make everything you can out of each and every minute. So just try to make the most out of your minutes and remember we are here for you and are not giving up on you!!
I have been where you are. I Pray that you find Peace and God gives you Comfort and Strength and He will see You, Ray & the Girls through this Journey🙏❤
Kelly, i admire you for how you hold it together for your self and the girls and especially Ray. I have been where you are and a lot for me i felt like i was just living an imagination of some one elses life. Keep up the good work and i will be praying for you all.
Kelly, my heart aches for you. You are such a genuine, kind and caring person. Your prayer warriors are hard at work. We are never giving up. Prayers, hugs and love for you, Ray and the girls. We are fighting the fight with you. You are not alone. 🙏💚🙏💚🙏🙏💚
Thinking of you Kelly Ray and all your family. You are a remarkable Mother and I commend you most highly. Oh my you are so loved and I send you prayers and blessings from here in England. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.
Wow, I had no idea this was all happening Kelly. There are just no words other than I'm so sorry you are all being affected by this. I will definitely add Ray to my prayers and ask also for peace, faith and strength for all of you, especially you as a mother. God be with you all and may the blood that Jesus shed for us kill every cancer cell and restore full health to Ray. God bless ❤
You are a courageous woman to be able to reflect and pull yourself up. Thank your for sharing your struggles and for the great news. I will continue to pray your son continues to get well. :-) I will support you by at least watching your videos and praying for your family.
You are doing everything you possibly can for Ray and your girls. Taking care of yourself is so important and it is very easy to get caught up in doing everything for everyone...except for yourself. So if you need to hear it today..you are enough ♥️ We continue to keep you all in our prayers and are sending all the good vibes.
Kelly, I admire you so much. As a mother I know that we don’t want our kids to suffer and I know your heart is broken. I wish I had a way to take at least some of your hurts away, because with your experiences your words has helped me through when I lost my mother and a few of my family members. Just know that I’m praying for you, Ray,Kayla, nd Allie. You are such a strong person. Take care of yourself! Love you!🥰😘
My prayers are for you and Ray God will be there for you. It is hard but in the mist of it all it will be ok. Stay strong and empowered. My prayers and regards to your family too.,,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
It`s always way harder as a Mom to watch your kids going through something serious, than it is to go through it yourself. You`re doing great, you`re an awesome mom, and your kids know that too! I will continue to pray for your whole family, and may God hold you in the palm of His hand, and give you strength, courage, and moments of peace. Love from Vancouver Island Canada.
Kelly you are a great Mom. I agree to get help. I am a nurse and I think counseling and talking with people going through love ones with cancer is a must. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Take your time I love your crafting ideas. I will be waiting when you are ready. My love and prayers.
You are definitely not alone, Kelly! I can not imagine what you, Ray & your family are going through, except doing it together! You, Ray, and your family are in my continued thoughts and prayers! Sending you & your family hugs & kisses! As always, stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
I feel for you and Ray, the girls, and the rest of your family and friends. You know that all of your RUclips family are thinking of you and sending hope, hugs, and good wishes. Continue to do all you need to do and know that we are and will be here. ❤️
Kelly, you are doing all your best being a great mother ❤. All prayers 🙏 for you and your family especially Ray. God Bless🙏 A mothers love never dies. Stay strong !!!!!❤
I was outside earlier today doing my horse chores, talking with the LORD, praying for you all, and HE brought you to my mind. I come inside and here is a video. Sending prayers of comfort and healing for Ray and your entire family Kelly. 💗
Don't judge yourself, as mothers we always want the best for our children, stay positive and strong in front of Ray and then cry and vent to someone, everything is valid because you are very important and a very valuable woman. A big hug from NYC. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kelly, you have had enough heartache for a lifetime. Just know that as depressed as you may have felt that you are an inspiration to your audience. Not only that what you are going through right now brings out how fortunate we are to have healthy children and grandchildren. Truly an inspiration! I hope you are finding some strength from your subs who are saying prayers for your son, your family and you!
I was right there with you this holiday season. I lost my husband of 47 years in August after 2 and a half years of fighting stage 4 lung cancer that was diagnosed right at the start of Covid in 2020. You, Ray and your girls are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I usually watch your videos on my TV, so don't have a way to comment from there. But want you to know that Ray and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and have been for quite some time now. I'm sure there are many others that are in the same situation and can't comment on every video and our silence is far from a lack of support! So just know you have a silent army of prayer warriors out here even if you don't see our comments regularly!
We are all here for you anytime you need us. Keep focusing on that snow boarding trip with your son. God is amazing and the power of prayer is awesome. We all love you and prayers are lifted up for Ray, you and your family.
Kelly I’ve been with you a long time. I. 80 yrs old, been thru a lot of trials. There is nothing we can do, but to express love and concern and prayers. The treatment alway show their evil aftermaths to Ray, but it’s all about keeping that faith and carry on. I’m sure you are doing that and family members too, prayers and faith, respect to those that are facing uncertainty in their life.All I can say is hold fast. that this hopefully gets better. Be strong❤❤
As a nurse I think you need to say “no matter what comes I will be here with you. No matter what comes, I will be here.” You cannot make false promises that you cannot deliver on. Just let your boy know that you love him and you will be with him. No matter what. It’s hard to watch people you love suffer and fight the good fight. There are services out there for cancer patients families for counseling for patients and the families. You aren’t responsible for his recovery no matter how much you may want to be. I know it’s devastating. I have been in your shoes caring for a suffering family member. Hardest thing I have had to do. I have done hospice nursing for years. Get some help. Do what the doctors tell you and listen to what they say. Denial is very strong in mothers. We always want to be in control of our families and the care. There is an old adage is let go and let God. Praying for your family
🫂🫂🐶
So well said. As the mom of a two time cancer survivor it great advice
Wise, wise words.
Also, get a second third and fourth opinion.
What an encouraging and motivating words for Kelly. Thank you for sharing your testimony to her. I am hoping she will heed your words. You must be a wonderful person.
PS I also wanted to add that after reading other comments here that I am truly blown away at the amazing community you have created here and I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of it!
🤎🤎🤎
Beautifully said.
Remember you are in the prayers of a lot of people and Jesus is there when others can't be. Hang on to his hands. Right now he is carrying you. 🙏🌹🕊️🌹✝️
What a beautiful sentiment. ❤
Amen.
There is no doubt that I will continue to keep you all in my prayers... Ray WILL get through this... And you take all the time you need.. I know I'll continue to rewatch your videos... 👍😁👍😁🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I lost my son 1.5 yrs ago and thought I could handle it through my faith and family and be ok. Nope. I did not realize how much I had suppressed. I was his caretaker for 9 mos before he passed at 34. Monday 2/6 will be my first therapy appt. I am praying for you and your son. I feel you. 😢
As a cancer survivor I can tell you, your presence is the most important thing. You are doing a great job mom 🌸🙏🌸
Everyone should run your playlists, so you’re still making money. Praying and hoping and sending so much love to you and your family.💙
I went through Stage 3 colon cancer last year. My treatment after surgery began in January 2022, so listening to you brought my memories to the present. The realness of what cancer does to your body, mind and spirit through the months. I saw the fear and helplessness in my husband's eyes, I heard it in my friends voices, and I watched my children face Mom's mortality.
My first colonoscopy after treatment was last week and it was clear. My final PET scan is in early February. (Scanxiety is real.) I'm reclaiming my life and I pray Ray, and all who love him, will too. 🙏
🙏
Praying or your total and complete healing.
That's amazing!!!❤️
God bless you. 🙏
Could you please tell me some of the symptoms you faced with colon cancer I have a scheduled colonoscopy and I am praying that whatever I'm going through is not going to be alarming.
I will pray for a perfect scan. I have stage 3 also. I got through radiation and phase 1 of chemo without too many side effects. I just started phase 2 chemo and have already needed 8 days in the hospital. I have 6 more infusions , then surgery.
I've been a silent watcher for the most part but I feel compelled as a mom, to a mom, to tell you that I am keeping your family in my continued prayers. Also, I want to tell you how much you inspire me, not only through your crafts, but as a mom,and a caregiver to your baby boy, you are a tremendously strong person and kindness exudes from you . Your heart is beautiful Kelly.
I will send you comfort, strength, love, and a well needed hug for both of us as I need one too . because I struggle to keep strong for and with my son. He has health issues as well. I can only encourage him to fight for his life . Its his fight but i will certainly push him with all of the strength i can muster . and I hope that i can fight as hard as you do .
You havecan army of people praying for you. Good luck with the future results of rays pet scan

Not that me alone does anything but I just wanted to let you know that we have an extra laptop and I have run your play list non stop since you told us about Ray to get you play hours to help with income. My prayers include you and family nightly. God bless you all!!!
Thank you so much Matt’s wife 🫂🤎🫂I appreciate it more than you know!
Wow didn't know Thats how it worked .! I will do the same.
God bless Kelly and Ray and entire family. Asking God in prayer through His Holy Spirit that this entire family come close to Jesus . HE WILL CARRY THEM ALL.
ie: FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND.
I will run your videos non stop after work. Thank you for a blessed plan to help. At least we can do that to help out.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️for you precious lady. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏for your son and family.
Miracles happen. My husband was diagnosed with throat cancer in July. After going through chemo and radiation he is doing well. I gave it to God to give me peace and to heal my Lane. Don't give up girl. I pray for your Ray every night and ask God to heal him of his cancer. It's tough really tough but God will bring you both through this. Much love.
I'm so happy for you and your husband. God is good.
So grateful your husband is doing well, that’s the greatest news ones hear! I’ve had 2 kids w/ cancer, my mom, me, just when you hear good, we must always celebrate! Wishing your husband, you, family, the best. Much love. 🎗
Good to hear your husband is doing better. You are so right. Our stresses can tear us apart but God can hold us together and give us peace.
Prayers for you all !
The fear you've experienced is real. I think you have been so scared that your body has been on a fast track to be everything to everybody. Its going to hit you that your body and mind HAVE to slow down! You all will find your stride in this new normal. I'm so glad you've chosen to slow that revving machine down and regenerate, or you will burn and crash. I lost my beloved mother, then my dad after and then I was diagnosed with a disease that has caused 14 surgeries. I also go through infusion with a drug for stomach cancer. Its been so very hard and depression is real. With this progressing, I have to know when to stop to take care of myself. I am alone -- you all are so very lucky to have your family. I do have some very good friends that care and help me.
You're a terrific person, Kelly. You're loved and cared for by many. Be good to yourself...it's important so you can be ready to get back on that Rollercoaster 🎢!! Hugs and so much love to you and your darling son.
Kelly may God bless you and your family. He is always faithful to those who need him. You and your family are in my prayers.
Don't apologize for not putting out new content. You have your priorities in order. We aren't going anywhere. You, Ray, and the girls are in my prayers, and his medical team are in my prayers.
Ditto! Not going anywhere.
I have been where you are. Prayers for you my dear.
We are fighting with and for you and your son through our prayers!❤
Miracles happen everyday so I’m sending prayers up for Miracles to come down. You do what you need to do for you so you can be all you can be for your family. You got an Army for prayer warriors praying for you and your family. Praying for all of you and remember you are worth it and you can do this.
When my 33 yo daughter was diagnosed with cancer during the COVID lockdown, I shared many of the sentiments that you initially spoke about. After she started to decline, reality set in but I stayed positive in front of her. That is so important, whether you feel genuine or not. I am so sorry that you and your family have to go through this. Keep your friends and family close!
2:41p praying for complete healing for Ray. May Jesus wrap you and your family in peace at this time. ❤️
♥️
My heart with you!! But you will endure. The Lord will hold you up. You aren't alone. I know its really hard when get back home in your room. Just remember you are loved and we are here for you! Blessings to you and your family.
Sending lots of prayers for you all and REALLY BIG HUGS 🤗❤️🙏
You and your family are so loved. I’m praying for you. Remember God is right there with you and your family every step of the way.
When you get down, light a candle. Every time you look at it through out your day remind yourself of His Light and Love.
As parents, Kelly, we want to always be there and fix things for our children no matter what their age. IT's that Mother Bear syndrome wanting to protect our cubs. You are an awesome lady. You are not feeling anything that us as Mothers haven't felt for our children. Taking care of you is the best thing you can do to help your son get through this challenge. IT is still his personal journey. No matter what, your love is what he needs the most right now. YOu can't change this for him. YOu can only be there for him and he will know you love him, it will make his challenge a little bit easier. This journey takes each of us to our own personal challenges. It is very hard to sit back and realize nothing you do can change what is happening. Just know you are loved by your viewers. Your channel is a bright light to all who enjoy your content. You are a strong Woman. And your sharing your feelings will help yourself and many others when they are faced with a challenge in their journey through life. Thank you for your words and sharing them.
Beautifully and truthfully stated. My thoughts exactly. 😊
Mom Bear , that's our journey I wil close to my boy's until I die. I laughed,I cried with them. God bless you , He gives a strong woman
❤❤
Take all the time you need! We’ll be there when your ready to come back. In our prayers.
Kelly, you are an amazing mom. I think there are few things that can completely knock the air out of a person the way watching your child go through something so hard and feeling helpless to fix it. I know that your devotion to Ray and the girls is making a difference for them. Give yourself grace and allow yourself the moments of release that you need so that you can recharge again. You are making a difference even though you may feel helpless and your children are all the better off for it. Praying for you and your family.

still praying hard. my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer.....and one doctor said "I'd do nothing, get your affairs in order". got a second opinion, (wonderful doctor) and that was four years ago. he's fine......I prayed for a miracle, and got it. praying for you and Ray.
When my son had his life threatening health crisis, I remember feeling like, "I'm the mother. My job is to fix things." Accepting that I couldn't fix this did cause me to feel depressed, but I was so busy every day taking care of him that it hit me later. What I know is that we need to grieve for our child going through such trauma. Be kind and gracious to yourself, Kelly. ❤❤❤
Please don't ever deny you're an awesome mom! You are the best! Not only do you support your son through his journey, you also try to continue being the loving, caring, mom you are to your daughter. You are very strong and I admire you so much...keep the faith and prayers are going up continuously for Ray and your entire family and situation. God Bless you!!!! ❤❤❤
You are so strong. We are all praying for you and your precious family. Thank you so much for sharing your journey..💞💞💞
Kelly your son, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and my heart pours out to you with Love! 🙏
Depression affects your whole body.. from a deep sadness to hair loss and never wanting to even go outside ... it truly changes you I was the caregiver for my husband so I know about depression.
Praying for healing for Ray and prayers for you and your girls' strength and comfort of heart for you all
A game face is very important for your son it gives him hope 🙏
🙏 🙏 hugs and love being sent to you through prayer ❤️

I honestly don't know how you're still standing. Your positive attitude and love for your kids is heartfelt and easily my favorite part of you as a person. Kelley I've watched my child suffer and it about killed me. Keep on being the woman and Mother you are. We all need to crawl inside, figure it out, get back up and remember to breathe. Just breathe sweetheart,
I'm praying for you and the kids. 🙏🙏

Sending you much love and prayers for strength
Gosh Kelly my heart hurts for you ! Let's all just pray for positive results ! I've worked in surgery for a lot of years, and I actually have seen one woman with stage four pancreatic cancer who only had 3 to 6 months and went through all the same things as Ray's going through with her chemo ! The surgeon released her to oncology because there was nothing more he could do ! We were sad bc we loved her ! Then one day she came into our doctors office a year and a half later with thank you donuts for us all looking happy and healthy and in remission she was leaving and going to Florida and getting married and she said God is good. Prayers are good. We were all shocked and happy to see her so there are miracles let's just pray for one for Ray! ❤🙏🙏
Bless you and your family, just remember God is still working,, stay strong, prayers coming your way 🙏🙏
Blessings to all of you.Your strength is uplifting to others as well.Praying 🙏🏻
Kelly, I'm so sorry you & your Family have to go through this. I constantly Praying for Ray's Recovery. God's Arms are wrapped around you. You have my Love & the Love of the Whole RUclips Community! May God Continue to Bless, Love & Keep You, Ray & your Entire Family. LovU, Juana Pitts
My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in the fall, and we are doing treatment #6 (infusions every two weeks) today as I watched this video. Thank you for being real and sharing your heart. It’s an incredibly hard time, and I agree with your experience of the holidays as you described. It was so difficult. Thank you for being so real. My prayers are with you.
🤎🤎🤎
Praying for your family's strength 🙏🏾 and the healing powers of our LORD and SAVIOR
Please be gentle with yourself 💕 You are an awesome Mom. By allowing yourself to feel your feelings, letting them show and sharing about them, you are being a beautiful role model. Being real is a huge gift you are giving your children and I’m certain countless others. Continuing to send powerful prayers and warm hugs to you all. 💕
Oh Honey, please do not give another thought to putting out more content. We are here and not going anywhere. We love you guys and we will support you for as long as it takes.
FELLOW SUPPORTERS: Let's make a goal of listening to playlists and running them in the background if you have unlimited data. Let's support our Girl in the only way most of us can, by watching a lot of her channel.
Stay strong Kelly, you are doing a great job and you are an awesome mom to all 3 of your kids. Hugs and prayers.
My prayers continue to be with your family. I am entering year 6 after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and hope is the thing to hold onto tight. I go every 3 weeks for immunotherapy and so far it is keeping the cancer stable and allowing me to still be here. Kelly, you are an inspiration and your words do touch hearts. 🙏🏻🙏🏻Prayers to get through each day (I’m an officer’s Mom, too) 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
I have tears 😢, Kelly, I pray 🙏🏾 for and your family. I'm praying for y'all strength and a healing for Ray.
Kelly thank you so much for sharing your thoughts hard as they are at times. When my mom passed 3 years ago I bought this frame saying “If God brings you to it He will see you through it”. I truly believe that. You and your family are in our prayers.
Just love to you.♥️Lord, please hear our prayers for Ray and family. Thank you for never forsaking or leaving us, know that your not alone.
Hi Kelly. Don't beat yourself up over this. You have never been through this before. Take one day at a time as you go through this process.
It is ok not to be ok. You have a lot of ppl who love you and who support you....much love. Will be praying for you and your fam....
Lean on God's grace. You are not alone in this battle....
Kelly I am so sorry you are going thru this with Ray! I know as a mother if you could take this on yourself instead of Ray you would do it!! You are doing the right thing by trying to stay positive in front of him!! Prayers continue you all of you my friend but especially Ray!!!❤️
Please share if it helps, but please also get personal help for yourself as well. Ray just needs to know you are there no matter what!
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Sending you love and hugs.,.. continued prayers for you and your family 🙏🤗💖
Kelly I know exactly what you are going through and I feel every bit of your emotion. My son fought cancer 3 times from the age of 18 to 28. My son's story ended with him passing away from Covid on January 4, 2022. I know Ray is going to get through this. Please do not feel guilty for not doing enough or not being able to fix it. I still carry so much guilt for not being able to protect my son and I wish I could let it go.
I'm rooting for you, Ray and your girls. Hugs ❤
My word! Hugs to you🤎🤎🤎
Hugs and prayers for you.
💕💞💖
I admire you Kelly so much! I love how you love your children and how you keep such a positive attitude. I can only imagine what you are going through, but please know I’m keeping each one of you in prayer. Hugs and love to you and your family. Tell Ray we are behind him 100%❤
Sending Heartfelt Prayers to You, Ray and Your Family 🙏🏾💗
You are a mom. That explains it all. You have every right to be in the dumps occasionally. Praying for healing and strength. Take care.
As a cancer caretaker for my husband who has stage 4 lung cancer, I feel your pain. The only thing we can do is put it all in God's hands and stay positive and supportive. I love you !!!!
You're an amazing woman and an amazing mom. God bless you all. My prayers are with you all. 🙏❤💪
As I went through my cancer journey I kept saying to myself, well at least it isn't one of my kids. Hugs to you mama bear. My mom was my rock. One day she held me and we cried together and slow danced to "wake me up when September ends". Knowing she'd see me through no matter which way it went brought me peace. I felt either way it's gonna be ok. Prayers to you and your family. Don't lose faith ever.
God bless you Kelly. You know there’s medicine you can take for a few days to help you. Anxiety and depression medication. I know I take both . Very helpful. You are right your world has been rocked with Rays cancer. Who’s world wouldn’t be. I think you are doing a great job. You do need sometime for yourself too. Prayers for strength and healing.
Praying for your son and your family!
Bless you all. Continued love and prayers.
Thank you for the update and for keeping it real. Your openness and honesty are teaching us about resiliency and that while hard knocks can lay us flat, we must take the time we need to find our center balance again and when we do we can and will rise once more. Sending all the positive energy and prayers to you, Ray, and your daughters.
❤ you have to take time. Your health is important too. You know we love you and your family. You are all in my thoughts every day. Thanks for the update. Rest. And do what you need to do for your family
Kelly, continuing to pray for you and the family. If you need to go to the place that brings you peace please go. If a short trip would bring you peace and center your soul it would strengthen you to be strong for everybody. It may not be the ideal situation but at least find a spot where you can center yourself! Self care is important when you are going through tough times. Thank you so much for the update!
Kelly: You, Ray & Your Whole Family are in My Daily Prayers & Thoughts...
God Be With You...❤️

We are your prayer warriors, yours and Rays. I lost a good friend today to ovarian cancer. But I wanted to let you know that your crafting has helped me get through her cancer battle. Two years ago tomorrow my brother suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, my mother passed away on December 21,2013. Since then Christmas has been horrible to me, but this passed year my friend who was going through the cancer battle told me love the minutes, make everything you can out of each and every minute. So just try to make the most out of your minutes and remember we are here for you and are not giving up on you!!
Hugs 🫂 to you
I have been where you are. I Pray that you find Peace and God gives you Comfort and Strength and He will see You, Ray & the Girls through this Journey🙏❤
You are so brave, and an inspiration to all of us who have experienced cancer. Just dont ever forget that you are in our prayers.
Kelly, i admire you for how you hold it together for your self and the girls and especially Ray. I have been where you are and a lot for me i felt like i was just living an imagination of some one elses life. Keep up the good work and i will be praying for you all.
Kelly, my heart aches for you. You are such a genuine, kind and caring person. Your prayer warriors are hard at work. We are never giving up. Prayers, hugs and love for you, Ray and the girls. We are fighting the fight with you. You are not alone. 🙏💚🙏💚🙏🙏💚
Thank you so much for your honesty and for sharing

Thinking of you Kelly Ray and all your family. You are a remarkable Mother and I commend you most highly. Oh my you are so loved and I send you prayers and blessings from here in England. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.
Wow, I had no idea this was all happening Kelly. There are just no words other than I'm so sorry you are all being affected by this. I will definitely add Ray to my prayers and ask also for peace, faith and strength for all of you, especially you as a mother. God be with you all and may the blood that Jesus shed for us kill every cancer cell and restore full health to Ray.
God bless ❤
God bless you sweet lady. Praying for you and for complete healing for Ray.
Continued prayers for Ray and all of you. 🙏🙏🙏
You are an amazing mom and person. I pray for you and your family. Sending you love and hope.
You are a courageous woman to be able to reflect and pull yourself up. Thank your for sharing your struggles and for the great news. I will continue to pray your son continues to get well. :-) I will support you by at least watching your videos and praying for your family.
Sending Ray positive healing energy.
You are doing everything you possibly can for Ray and your girls. Taking care of yourself is so important and it is very easy to get caught up in doing everything for everyone...except for yourself. So if you need to hear it today..you are enough ♥️ We continue to keep you all in our prayers and are sending all the good vibes.
Prayers for you and Ray and all the Family,🙏🙏 from Middletin, Ohio
Kelly, I admire you so much. As a mother I know that we don’t want our kids to suffer and I know your heart is broken. I wish I had a way to take at least some of your hurts away, because with your experiences your words has helped me through when I lost my mother and a few of my family members. Just know that I’m praying for you, Ray,Kayla, nd Allie. You are such a strong person. Take care of yourself! Love you!🥰😘
My prayers are for you and Ray God will be there for you. It is hard but in the mist of it all it will be ok. Stay strong and empowered. My prayers and regards to your family too.,,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
It`s always way harder as a Mom to watch your kids going through something serious, than it is to go through it yourself. You`re doing great, you`re an awesome mom, and your kids know that too! I will continue to pray for your whole family, and may God hold you in the palm of His hand, and give you strength, courage, and moments of peace. Love from Vancouver Island Canada.
Kelly you are a great Mom. I agree to get help. I am a nurse and I think counseling and talking with people going through love ones with cancer is a must. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Take your time I love your crafting ideas. I will be waiting when you are ready. My love and prayers.
As a Mom my heart breaks for you and your family. will pray for all of you. You amaze me by your strength.
You are definitely not alone, Kelly! I can not imagine what you, Ray & your family are going through, except doing it together! You, Ray, and your family are in my continued thoughts and prayers! Sending you & your family hugs & kisses! As always, stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

I was outside earlier today doing my horse chores, talking with the LORD, praying for you all, and HE brought you to my mind. I come inside and here is a video. Sending prayers of comfort and healing for Ray and your entire family Kelly. 💗
🫂🫂🫂
Don't judge yourself, as mothers we always want the best for our children, stay positive and strong in front of Ray and then cry and vent to someone, everything is valid because you are very important and a very valuable woman. A big hug from NYC. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kelly, you have had enough heartache for a lifetime. Just know that as depressed as you may have felt that you are an inspiration to your audience. Not only that what you are going through right now brings out how fortunate we are to have healthy children and grandchildren. Truly an inspiration! I hope you are finding some strength from your subs who are saying prayers for your son, your family and you!
My prayers are with you. You are doing well and keeping busy. Love always
I was right there with you this holiday season. I lost my husband of 47 years in August after 2 and a half years of fighting stage 4 lung cancer that was diagnosed right at the start of Covid in 2020. You, Ray and your girls are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤❤
❤🙏😢 lots of us praying Kelly. A great big hug to you. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I usually watch your videos on my TV, so don't have a way to comment from there. But want you to know that Ray and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and have been for quite some time now. I'm sure there are many others that are in the same situation and can't comment on every video and our silence is far from a lack of support! So just know you have a silent army of prayer warriors out here even if you don't see our comments regularly!
You are all incredibly strong people. Love and prayers for strength
You’re doing a great job mama ❤ We’re all still praying for you and your family and especially for Ray 🙏
Kelly you are a very strong person. Hang in there and God bless you and your family
We are all here for you anytime you need us. Keep focusing on that snow boarding trip with your son. God is amazing and the power of prayer is awesome. We all love you and prayers are lifted up for Ray, you and your family.
Kelly I’ve been with you a long time. I. 80 yrs old, been thru a lot of trials. There is nothing we can do, but to express love and concern and prayers. The treatment alway show their evil aftermaths to Ray, but it’s all about keeping that faith and carry on. I’m sure you are doing that and family members too, prayers and faith, respect to those that are facing uncertainty in their life.All I can say is hold fast. that this hopefully gets better. Be strong❤❤
