I just want to say; the way you are with aunt Linda absolutely warms my heart. Even though it was only a little clip of you and her … I sat there and replayed it many times with the biggest smile on my face as tears filled up my eyes. You are by far one of the sweetest human beings in this planet. I’m so proud of you Bonnie ❤️
Lord have mercy, I'm crying too. Huge knot in my throat. Your parents are so freaking sweet. I can't explain how your family has encouraged me to be even closer to my family. Just adore you. ❤ Oh, and I'm making cinnamon rolls from your cookbook to celebrate your wonderful parents!!!!!
Awww! My heart hurts for you Bonnie! When your heart gets so full, the overflow comes out as tears sometimes...I cried when they told "Us" goodbye on their channel! And you have so much planned, for the next year and a half, your going to stay So Busy! It won't stop you missing them, but it does make the time go by faster! Just remember to take it easy on yourself for a hot minute everyday ok! Take Care Sweet Girl! We love ya! ❤️
Comfort is having everyone in their place and when someone leaves, it disturbs the balance in our lives. Bonnie, just make lots of videos; we’ll help you through these two years.😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stop doubting yourself,Bonnie, you have a beautiful and real way of expressing yourself. I appreciate that about you, you have helped me in expressing myself in a calm and sincere way. Thank u you! 😍
Seeing your emotions as you said goodbye to your mom made me wish I had had that opportunity. Just to see my mom one more time before she passed away would have been wonderful.
You’re family has such a sacred bond, it’s so special to watch. Thank you for sharing your parents with us Bonnie, we’ll be missing them right along with you guys. They are such wonderful people. They are in my prayers💕
Always after watching one of your moms vlogs it makes me strive to be a better person and wife. They are two of the sweetest people and I’ve never met them
Seeing you say by to your parents made me hysterical! I lost my mom in 2019 and I wish I could have one more hello and goodbye with her. Lincoln is so grown up it’s crazy to see your last baby become a little man!
I have such a love for you Bonnie when I see your heart for your family. I never knew how much I loved my mom until I had my first son. Sometimes my heart aches when I don’t see my momma for a while. And I always hope my 3 sons will grow up to love me as much as I love my mom 😂❤️ love you all!!
This vlog took me from laughter with ivia and Lincoln in the bed to tears with grandma and grandpa Griff pulling out back to laughter with the look on Cody's face and the dress then back to tears, happy tears with you send aunt Linda! Bonnie you are one to look up to with how you treat and take care of your family! Every vlog really shows your love for everyone! Il be praying for your mom and dad and for you!
Bonnie, there are no words needed. Boston is your emotional twin. Your parents are leaving knowing they are loved and supported. What a beautiful gift.
Aww Bonnie, my heart hurts for you when watching you wave goodbye. Just made me remember you waving goodbye to Ellie and Jared. I hate that you’ve had to be the one to wave goodbye to the people you’re so close to. Even if you are happy for them, it’s hard! 🧡
Rough Fourth of July this year. Our community is in mourning and in disbelief. We will get through this together, we are stronger than ever. Highland Park Illinois Strong ❤️💔. Hug your families, friends, neighbors even tighter.
That two year old that lost both his parents, his father shielding him with his body, then the two strangers that took him into safety, and putting his photo in public media asking if anyone knew who this child was? He was the apple of their eyes, the authorities thwarted him from doing the same thing in Wisconsin, yes we combat this by being kinder, more loving and compassion to everyone.
Oh Bonnie. I sobbed for you. I put myself in your place knowing how much I would miss my parents. In fact I do miss them as they are both in heaven and I cry for them most days. I live in England and I love your family. You are all so special.
Poor Olivia is breaking my heart. I know her pain all too well as my grandparents are my entire world. Love you guys, it will be hard but they’re going to have so much fun and help people too ❤️❤️
I feel for you Bonnie. Love your parents. They are amazing and have a special grace to them! Such a beautiful family you all have ❤️ & that’s such a great blessing!
Goodmorning Hollien family.Awwww this is a beautiful and emotional volg .Grandma and grandpa Griffiths will be missed dearly.Hope the best of luck on their mission.God bless them both.❤️💙
Olivia: no I asked nicely the first time 😂 I go to school with her and she is such a nice sweet girl. Even though I’m not as close as we used to be she’ll still always say hi to me and is just such a nice girl
That was super sweet- you and Joel are so good at acknowledging the kids feelings and nurturing the whole family. Safe travels for Chad and Jennifer. Lincoln looks so much like Chad to me ❤️🕊💕
My Bestemor (Danish for grandma) is like a second mother to me and she was gone for just three weeks and it was so sad and we missed her so much my heart goes out to you guys and I can only assume how much serving a mission means to them and how much pride you have for them to be able to do this but also just breaks your heart because the reality is they will be gone for two years. So much and so little can change in that amount of time it's hard to fathom and come to grips with.
Saying goodbye to your parents is there an emotional and private feeling. Going on a mission so far away you'll be able to Zoom them they'll be back in 2 years I wish my parents were like your parents are I lost my mom when I was 25 from cancer and I lost my dad 5 years later from heart disease. You know I'm 65 now and I still miss them. And boy we think Maverick was the best movie I want to go see it again it's funny our grandson and his friend never saw the original so we showed it to him with our home videos love you guys so much and I am very emotional with you watching your parents leave God bless and may the Lord be with you always.❤❤ happy Fourth of July🇺🇸
I've never even met your parents and I had a tear in my eye as they drove away, I've been watching them for years now and I'm happy to say I am the family bread maker thanks to your moms videos! Keep your head up, two years are going to fly by! Prayers for all!
Oh my gosh, I’m only 5 seconds into the video and seeing Brent and his famous bike horn made me so happy. I went to USU and lived in Logan for 5 years. Miss seeing him.
Lol oh lincons face when you told him he closed his eyes 👀 for a hour and a half and cracked up. Thanks for making my day with that stunned face of his.
Two years is a little while to see your parents but it will fly by before you know it. Seasons change and there is a time and a season for everything. Bonnie your parents are very loving and giving people. We can see just how much they love their children and grandchildren. Love your Aunt Linda. 💞😇
I can’t imagine how hard this must be to know it’ll be 2 years. I know you are so proud of them. You handled it with grace and time flies so I’m looking forward to that vlog when you’re hugging them again ❤️
Bonnie, you're the funniest and prettiest mother in the world with lots of good vibes and lots of love.💙💙💙💙💙🌈💖💖💖💖💖👍. Also, I'm following you on Instagram to see what's new today and more.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍
Everyone needs their mom and dad no matter what age so I know how hard this must be even though it's a great and exciting thing it's also a sad and scary thing of not knowing! May God bless you and your family remember it's his plan and everything will be all right ❤️
My brother in law just surrendered to the ministry and my sister is my best friend! I’m oldest and she’s next of 5 and her 6 kids are my best friends! They love their DeeDee and if they have to move away I may cry to no end and accidentally pack myself with them!! I feel your pain! God bless y’all!!
Yes Tom Cruise is still a looker and he just had his 60th birthday on the 3rd! I wanna wish yur parents a safe trip! I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers!! Aunt is just so sweet! We love her for sure!! 👍💞💖💝💖💞👍

Oh Bonnie I just want to give you a big hug sweetie. Joel that high school analogy was perfect. I bet Aunt Linda was thrilled with your surprise visit ☺. Lincoln is such a little tease! Reminds me of my 7 year old grandson Cody! Sending love and big hugs from Wilsonville Oregon
My mum is my best friend and she lives two plane rides from me across Canada. I am in Ontario she is in British Columbia. She recently left a three week visit and my heart still aches. Had been three years since I had seen her in person!
The fact that you didn’t know what to say after they quit said alot by itself… im in canada and every fall my parents leave for florida for the winter and it broke my heart every time ❤️
Doubts & worries are within our human nature... 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.' TY for sharing this bittersweet vlog and especially for putting yourselves out there. GODSPEED to Grandma & Grandpa Griffiths.
Currently watching this while making the famous Griffiths roast and dinner rolls. Wish I could insert a picture here. Also can’t tell if it’s the onions or the video that’s making me tear up. Love you guys, these two years will fly by just as the last two have ❤️
I’ll tell ya what, I cried like a baby watching this. My grandparents passed away when I was young. I grew up wishing for grandparents like the ones my friends have. If I could think of what my grandparents would be like they would be like Grandpa and grandma griffiths. ❤️
Gah! It's so hard! We said goodbye to my sister and her family for 4 years! They're home now till January and then it'll probably be another 4 years. They're missionaries in Africa.
I think it's my parents leaving or something... Goodness I've been crying all week watching all these family vlogs. Love you guys and your sweet family. God Bless them ♥️🙏
Hi Bonnie, I was wondering if you would be able to sit down and talk some time about how you taught your kids to be so good at chores and helping you. I don’t plan on being a mother quite yet, but I admire how well you’ve been able to raise your beautiful children, and I’m curious if you have any specific tips on how to do this :)
Bonnie my heart aches for you. You are a beautiful, strong woman who loves her parents. I am crying with you, I wish I could give you a big mommy hug. Thank goodness for FaceTime and WhatsApp, at least you can video chat with them. Praying your parents have a blessed mission and a safe return home. 🙏🏻💕
I hope you see this. You could pick a mirror in your house or make a board of sticky notes with the number of days until you see them again. 1 being the last note you take off.
I just want to say; the way you are with aunt Linda absolutely warms my heart. Even though it was only a little clip of you and her … I sat there and replayed it many times with the biggest smile on my face as tears filled up my eyes. You are by far one of the sweetest human beings in this planet. I’m so proud of you Bonnie ❤️

Your Mom & Dad Are Doing A Mission For Our Lord. They Are Going To Help People . May Our Lord Bless Them During Their Mission.

I feel your emotions and they’re not even my parents. Blessings to you all as you go through these next two years.
Seeing your emotions as you said goodbye to your mom made me wish I had had that opportunity. Just to see my mom one more time before she passed away would have been wonderful.
Bonnie, you and Joel are such good parents and children to both sets of your parents. All of us will miss your parents, please know that. Hugs!
You’re family has such a sacred bond, it’s so special to watch. Thank you for sharing your parents with us Bonnie, we’ll be missing them right along with you guys. They are such wonderful people. They are in my prayers💕

Aww Bonnie, my heart hurts for you when watching you wave goodbye. Just made me remember you waving goodbye to Ellie and Jared. I hate that you’ve had to be the one to wave goodbye to the people you’re so close to. Even if you are happy for them, it’s hard! 🧡
I cried along with you all... 2 years will go by fast and at least you'll get to have video calls now. So much love!! ❤️
Oh goodness my heart! It’s never easy to wave goodbye to the people we love. Much love to you all, your parents are an absolute blessing to many.

Cody’s adorable face when Olivia puts the costume up to him.
How sweet y’all went to visit Aunt Linda.
God bless your parents! And y’all
Sometimes you just need a memory for yourself, and that is 1000% okay. I'm crying again. I hope they have a safe and successful mission.
That was super sweet- you and Joel are so good at acknowledging the kids feelings and nurturing the whole family. Safe travels for Chad and Jennifer. Lincoln looks so much like Chad to me ❤️🕊💕

But it’s OK you’re a good person and you’ll see him soon
Happy 4th of July

Sitting here bawling my eyes out... Why couldn't they have come to Queensland Australia 😭😭😭
Hi Bonnie, I was wondering if you would be able to sit down and talk some time about how you taught your kids to be so good at chores and helping you. I don’t plan on being a mother quite yet, but I admire how well you’ve been able to raise your beautiful children, and I’m curious if you have any specific tips on how to do this :)
Yes please
Lincoln’s nostril flares while rubbing your feet made me LOL!!
Ok this one had me crying too!! 😭
Remember they are doing work for the Church, while the separation is painful they and your family will be blessed by their selflessness!
Awe Bonnie, I was boo hooing with you. 💕
Wow! Garmets !
When the title popped up saying 4th of July i didn’t finish reading the title, I grabbed my tissues lol. I was right to grab them..
Oh my heart. ❤️
Two year will go by fast.
Ugh I’m bawling!!! Side note: what happened to Aunt Marlene’s eye???
I dont like goobyes I am in tears watching this so sad
I’m crying 😭
"I just closed my eyes" haha that's what they all say
Tell ur parents to have a safe travel
Two years will go fast and at least you have face time too!!!! I know it’s easy for me to say😃
I love your sweet family! I have to ask..did Ruby’s family offer to come say goodbye? I hope so. I wish you all the best!
I wondered the same thing... So odd, i wonder what happened
I love your family ♥️
It’s crazy that I’ll be an incoming sophomore in college when they come back.
My mom is and was my best friend too but passed in 2003
Maybe you can go visit next summer the seniors can have visits
so cute
Bonnie my heart aches for you. You are a beautiful, strong woman who loves her parents.
I am crying with you, I wish I could give you a big mommy hug. Thank goodness for FaceTime and WhatsApp, at least you can video chat with them.
Praying your parents have a blessed mission and a safe return home. 🙏🏻💕
I hope you see this.
You could pick a mirror in your house or make a board of sticky notes with the number of days until you see them again. 1 being the last note you take off.
I like your idea! Sort of like a big Advent Calendar.
Awwwww 🥲
