Good to see you. Spot on video. Life certainly does throw us some curveballs. I’m 77 and there’s been many. Cancer at 46. Hubby drowned at 51. In my 70’s the curveballs have been Cataracts, Pulmonary embolism both lungs, fractured femur, hole in retina, semi detached retina both eyes. We have to keep a positive attitude or we’re done for. Keep that beautiful smile. Merry Christmas! Big Hugs ❤
@@VictoriaT47 Victoria you are a true example of what staying positive can do for us! So sorry about ur hubby! That had to be so tragic especially when he was so young! But all you have been thru here you are on the other side of all that and enjoying your days which proves how strong us woman can be when we have to step up! I’m so proud of you and u are an inspiration to me! God Bless you! Go get yourself (or order online lol) something special for yourself this Christmas you deserve it ! I’m pinning your comment to show others how brave you are and that “We Can Do This” ! Sending you all my love Barb Merry Merry Christmas 🎄❤️🎄Q
Oh my I don't think I have ever clicked on a post so quickly. You are such a warrior and I am so glad to see you able to do this video. I hope the pain is abating a bit.
@@rustynails8756 that made me laugh 🤭 Thank you for being here ! Pain is always there but u just learn to live with it :( It is a lot better than it was two years ago when I was first diagnosed almost two years ago ! Love you to pieces! Sending u hugs, Babs ❤️❤️
I was so pleased to see you posted a video. Your outfit is darling and your wig suits you so well. You're right of course, navigating our way through life is never easy, but l just put my hand in His and He walks me through it. When our loved ones go first, we realize the time we shared made us stronger and happier and in time we will all meet again.
@@joycezervas4496 Thank you so much! It’s my face cream and my positive attitude and all of you that keep me feeling and looking my best! 😘 Love you, Barb ❤️
I'm looking in your eyes while you're talking and what an inspiration of strength and hope and zeal for life you are, Thank You!!! I'm so sorry you have to go through so much and the tremendous effort to get ready but I know how important it is to be and look our best and You Shine!!! I've been struggling with MS and HS for over 25 years and I know the effort it takes to get ready and show up smiling on a very few occasions that I do try to show up, when your totally exhausted but want to stay in the game as long as possible and people say "You look great!!" and I say "Thank You, and go home and collapse for hours. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas Lovely Lady!!! 💖🙏🌷❌⭕❌⭕
Hi Barb, its been awhile since I have commented. Larry, my husband of 50 passed away July 18. I shared last year he had ALS. I took care of him for 5 years. During that time, 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had to refuse all treatment as I was the only care giver for Larry. Dr put me on a chemo pill, still on it, and praise God, I survived an aggressive cancer. I was a prayer warrior for you on this journey you have been on. Your precious. Your friend Paula
Hi Paula! I’m so sorry about Larry ! It’s hard . This is Doloreses first Holiday without her Tim so it’s so hard on her! She is going to bereavement classes and it helps her! I think I honestly remember you telling me about his ALS last year and u saying you turned down treatment ! I think I commented on that! That’s such a tough disease to have and to caregiver for! I’m so happy your chemo pill is keeping your cancer at bay! I will pray for you everyday at our 10:00AM prayer! God bless you my sweet Paula ! Thank you for all the prayers I so appreciate you..love ya, Barb ❤
Why kind of cancer did you have that a pill took care of. That’s amazing i think quite a miracle really. So sorry for your loss. That’s such a hard disease. 😔
ALS took a cousin at an early age. Bless you for the love, and care, often most difficult, and for being your OWN ADVOCATE for use of immunotherapy!! I am saddened by your loss and the emptiness you must feel. By sharing your journey you are going to enable others possibly feeling or facing similar situations who will, pardon me, WILL, benefit from immunotherapy treatment with a great deal of positivity on its outcome! Do share this wherever you can. I will add you to my prayer list!🙏☺️
Thank you for your love, support and prayers! I can’t imagine a day without walking with Jesus ! I know he answers prayers ! I’m a walking example ! Love you, Merry Christmas Barb ❤️🎄
It was 2008. I lost my home and my husband passed at the same time. I lost my job also. It is hard. I send you prayers and healing angels ❤❤❤❤❤God bless you
@@solewestren3218 I’m so sorry for you also! So very sorry for your hubby too how awful for you 🙏When they foreclosed on our beautiful home and my retirement went with it, I felt like I was running in circles and no exit! It was a horrible time! We lost our business a year bf the net fell on us so we knew something was coming but never dreamed how bad it got! My Denny was working but just as we thought we were on our feet bam it dropped! He got laid off and I couldn’t work bc I broke my leg and at that time wheelchair bond!No one cared or would help! Very hard times but here we are GF still running but we are running toward a happier time! Thanks for your comment Hugs, Barb ❤️🎄❤️
@@aileenbacchus437 I’m so blessed to have my daughter still with me living close! She is my best friend. I’m trying to keep my positivity it helps heal the body ! Love ya and Merry Christmas 🌲❤️😘
I am having a double mastectomy on Monday, 12/16. I'm 75 and have no history of cancer in my large family. I had two lumpectomies, but they couldn't get clear margins. I haven't had an operation since I was 36 years old and that was a hysterectomy, so I've been in pretty good health. Barbara, you are an amazing woman and you are stronger than you will ever know. I have been following you way before I was diagnosed with cancer.. Your positive attitude has helped me look at my situation differently. I am also a person of faith and I don't know how people do it without God in their lives. I am so sorry all of that happened to you during the housing crash. my oldest son lost his house. it affected so many people. now housing is so expensive, how do young people ever afford a house? They don't; they are moving in with family.
@@devonnep.7126 I’m sending you many prayers for your surgery Monday! You made the right decision though! I would have done that if I had that choice! You will be just fine and your clothes will be bigger lol just kdg :0) God Bless you and yes what would we do without talking to God everyday ! Thank you for following me and I’m so happy that I could help you in many ways to stay strong! These are not our Golden Years are they!? My hubby says nothing Golden about this age haha It is though bc we are alive and every day is another gift given to us by God and our powerful positive attitudes! Love you and many prayers! Thank you for all my prayers you have given me too! Hugs, Barb❤️
Barbara I am sending you hugs and kisses right through the video! You and your family have my prayers and good thoughts. I'm sorry you lost your son a few years ago but know that you are loved. You're here for a reason. You're a tough broad and the Lord has your back!!
@@whiteroses47 Thank you for this comment! I knew I was a tough broad but man it’s tough filling those shoes :) The loss of my son is painful and I will always miss him thank you. Sending you hugs, Barb ❤️❤️
Your terrific. I know what it is like not being able to save. You don't think about it when your young. We just don't have good luck with it. It could always be worse. I am happy just being able to pay my bills, have a roof over my head and have food.. A lot of people don't have that. And of course health is number one. You have gone through so much yet you keep smiling and have a great sense of humor. Keep going Babs. Glad you felt well enough to do this video. Happy Holidays and a much healthier 2025 to you and Denny.
You are so right I guess it could be a lot worse ! Like my son said Money doesn’t buy happiness or health really it buys material things ! But someone reminded me on here that money sure helps us live a better financial life! We are not living a great financial life in our Golden years! But I’ve had many beautiful memories and so much fun getting here! I could do without this pain but staying positive helps! Thanks for your comment ! Sending u hugs, Barb❤❤ Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Hi Barb. (This is my third comment to this video. Lol!) I had no idea all the sad things you have been through.... You are remarkable in how you keep pushing ahead. I am praying for you... Hugs..
Lovely lady looking as beautiful as ever, wishing you all the best for the new year and your continued good health, never in a million years would anyone think you are 81.XX
Yes I checked out your description box and ordered the products. I absolutely loved every minute of your video! Prayers continue for comfort, healing and provision for you and your husband. Thank you for keeping in touch with us and making us smile!
@@strengthcomfortmedia6104 Thank you much 😊 Let me know how you like Ella’s products! It’s a miracle cream! Don’t forget to massage ! I think that video is in my Description box too:0) Merry Christmas Love ya, Barb❤️
Hi, Barb, so great to see you for a chat. You look so much better in your face than the last video. You know the greatest thing in life is to have a personal relationship with the Father. To recognise that the only way to God is through his son. So in the saviour, we should not fear what we will eat what we will wear, but put our trust in him. Agreed, prayer is what brought you to where you are today. Keep up the chats, you are loved.
@@soniaclarke1171 Amen Sonia 🙏 I don’t know what I’d do without walking with Jesus everyday! Thank you for this beautiful comment . Hugs and merry Christmas 🎄 Barb ❤️❤️
What a lovely Christmas present, being able to see you online again. Live sure can throw you curves, but we go with the flow. I love Christmas too, All our presents are wrapped and under the tree, My son and daughter in law along with brother and sister in law will be here Thursday for our meal and exchange presents. I want to tell you something, I am a breast cancer survivor going on 27 years. First time was in 98, six months of chemo, second time was in 2000 six months of chemo and 10 years of oral chemo. The good Lord has let me be here , and I AM so thankful. You are a doll and I hope your here for a long, long time . Joanne from Ohio and I am 74 and have wrinkles............lol. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Yes these curveballs can really hurt at times for sure ! You wonder how are we going to get thru this but we do! You are an inspiration! They didn’t give me chemo just a pill! I wasn’t even a candidate for a mastectomy for my breast cancer bc my cancer spread to spine, lymph nodes and bones ! So I just take a pill and every time I take it every morning I pray it goes to where it’s suppose to go:) So far so good! Thank you Joanne for this comment! Get some Ella Freda it loves to get rid of wrinkles lol Merry Christmas Love, Barb 🎄❤️
Love you Barb ❤ Great to see you looking so good and being so inspiring Denny’s voice sounds strong and you sound strong too. You are both in my daily prayers for healing and comfort. Prayers for your family too. God bless you dear lady. Merry Christmas
It always makes me so happy to see you in my feed. I could listen to you talk for hours. I guess I was too young to realize how badly people were hurt by the 2008 crash. I'm so sorry for your struggles with the insurance company. The system needs to change. Praying for you.
Thank you so much for the update. We missed you Barb ❤ You’re skin is glowing, you look beautiful 😍 Watcha wearing ? Gorgeous on you ! Tons of love girl ❤💕 And I truly feel for you, the loss, everything… I don’t have the right words. Love you❤.
Love you, Barb, so glad to see you, agree with you about Grandkids but when I start feeling sorry for myself I think of my Grandparents and get that little guilt feeling because I didn't spend much time with them when I got older either. This was the first Thanksgiving where I didn't cook THE TURKEY and dressing, etc, felt age so so much, tried to be thankful....You look wonderful, sound better, what a Christmas gift it is for me and the rest of your 'posse.' PRAYERS
@@joane8651 I miss my grandkids seeing them practically everyday! They lived with us a couple times two for a couple years so I really got spoiled with them around! Time marches on! Thank you for all your prayers too I so appreciate all of them ! Hugs, Barb ❤️ Happy NY 🥹🎊 🎉
Hi Mrs Barbara, looked in your comments and saw your name. I’ve listen to your video and read your comments. Bless your heart. We all have trials. I’m 64 and a vendor caused me to fall at work. Diagnosed with a level two TBI put me in Daffy Duck land for first 3 years and I’m still trying to recover. It caused me to lose my house on 5 acres my new car I had only a year, my 3 little dogs and had to sell ever thing I owned, a big tractor and moved in with my daughter in another state. I’ve been independent since I was 18 and at 61 to lose everything I owned but my bedroom furniture. Well if I didn’t have Jesus in my life I wouldn’t be here. Jesus saved me. I’m thankful my family took me in. I miss my independence. Talk about a curve…. I love your wig post and wanted to say I love the wig you have on boy you look beautiful in those curly wigs. I’m going to look into the one you have on try and find it. You take care of yourself and thank you for your post
After all you’ve been through, you are the one encouraging everyone else! Your love for others just shines through you, and that’s maybe why you are pulling through all the stuff that’s been thrown at you. Think about you often and say a quick prayer for you every time I do my skincare at night. Bless you and sending healing thoughts your way!
@@janmoser-lo1gc oh thank you so much what a beautiful comment ! I think doing videos and hearing from all of you with ur prayers and amazing encouraging comments is what keeps me strong bc I know ur all depending on me which is wonderful ! I’ve had a lot thrown at me but here I am! Thank you for your prayers ! Maybe that’s why every so often I get a chill and stop and reflect t for a min bc of ur quick prayers :) Sending u love and Happy holidays to you and your family ! Barb ❤️
“I’ve got a headache - it must be a brain tumor!” I almost dropped my phone laughing. I thought I was the only one. 🤭 It’s wonderful to see you. God bless you and your family this Christmas. You are loved. Every day we have another opportunity to enjoy our time here and tell others what God has done for us.

Thanks for sharing your hard-won experiences and thoughts. We don’t have enough opportunity for listening to thoughts like these. So useful, so valuable. And we are all on the same road in life, none of us getting any younger and all facing challenges. Thank you for taking the time to record this video x
Onwards and upwards lovely Barb - I can relate to so much that you've said - Bette Davies put it in a nutshell " Old age aint no place for sissies " ! love you x
We do need to go on for others who are hurting as much as us! To us moms though it’s like someone cut out part of our heart 💔 I think of him every dry and try every dry to think of a funny story about him and there are plenty cause he was that kid lol I’m so sorry for your loss too! So many others share our sadness! Sending you love and warm hugs! Barb 💚❤️

@@joycegoodpaster6412 awe thank you so very much Joyce for such kind words 😘 I’m happy you love listening to me! Merry Christmas to you and your family also, Barb ❤️🌲❤️🌲
I can relate to everything you have said. We lost everything in the 2008 recession as well, our home, my husband's place if business, my job as I worked wirh him, my dog who passed shortly afterwards. No kids. My husband was depressed and ill. He ended up taking his life because of all this and I was left with some life insurance. I found a place to live, the next several years I was the full time caregiver to my elderly disabled parents and along the way fought agressive breast cancer. I have never been the same since, it changes you mentally and physically. It's a joke the cost of senior living places. I find I am better off to stay in my larger home now and cover the repairs than go completely broke 'downsizing' with these outrageous prices. God bless you! So happy to hear you are in remission.
Omgoodness I’m so sorry ! We lost our business too but this was before the market crashed but things were going down the tubes bf it hit! It can really get to you! It’s easy to get depressed and it angers me that money and loss can do this to us! Your poor husband but sorry he left you to pick up the pieces! You were wonderful, as hard as that was, to take care of your parents! You are a great daughter ! ❤We cried and we argued over nothing but we were both so stressed out! My kids including my son who passed tried to help us financially but we were so in over our heads their money didn’t touch much ! What is the worst no one would work with us! Citi bank was our mortgage carrier and they treated us like garbage! They hounded me at 8:00 in the morning Sunday when I was at church and threatened us! They were awful along with everyone else ! It sounds like you have tried to pick up the pieces and you got a grip on life for yourself! Sometimes we only have ourselves ! You sound strong and you are moving forward ! I’m sure it changes you! It did us but we decided not to let them ruin our life and future and we had no choice than to move on! Thank God my daughter had a big home and took us in! You keep looking in the mirror and seeing a strong lady who is feisty and fought for what you got right now including your health ! You are a fighter and beat cancer too so girl YOU GOT THIS! Love you and keep that beautiful head held high ! Barb❤❤❤
@@takecontrolbeauty6402Thank you so much fellow fighter. You got this! So many of us went thru that time and I believe got sick from all the stress. Love you!
What an amazing chat. I am 67 but you and I have experienced so many of the same things. The cancer, financial stuff, the comments by others saying "you don't look sick". You are so inspiring and motivational. You are so great, keep on keeping on lady. You are a legend.
Same here, @rustynails8756! Cancer, on welfare during treatment - thankfully was covered as I'm in Canada and our taxes goes into our health care ..... just horrid for sure!
I was so happy to see this video. I had to watch right away. You are truly a fighter. When I get fed up of my medical issues I'll have to think of you. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I'd be lost without my prayers
@@wendygricken3369 Thank you for watching right away :0) We certainly all get fed up with our medical issues but we have to just deal with them ! You just watch me whenever you feel I can help you! I pray all day long so I know the feeling 🙏Love you, Barb❤️❤️❤️
Insurance companies need to walk in the shoes of their patients. Those with cancer , elderly, maybe some cognition issues…. They need to sit down and see how difficult it is for some of their patients. Getting very specific paperwork, and the mind efforts that are needed when someone is exhausted. Most have automatic payments pulled. So when patients can no longer keep up, the payments keep getting deducted. Maybe we should share what insurance companies are doing and the names of the company. Profit yes i understand, it’s a business .Greed, no.
I agree they should walk in our shoes! Maybe the new president will address this on Insurances and their non compliance to all their customers! We are only customers to them not human beings ! ❤
Grandchildren are the best! I love mine so much! What a strong women you are, Such an encouraging video even with all you've been through. I will pray for you and your husband.
Hi Barb. You look so good. ❤🙏 I’m in the same boat as you financially. I am a cancer survivor and it was rough financially. It’s been 18 yr and I’m thankful. But I’m 77 and still making house payments.
A lot of us are in the same boat! I made this video to show we are not alone there are so many of us who struggle! But we have to look at our past and be grateful for where we are today! Good for you my strong friend for beating Cancer! God bless you I’m so proud of you! House payments are the pits but mine are way cheaper than 3-4 K a month! I’d be homeless if I had to pay that! Love you thank you for the comment and Merry Christmas! Make this a happy holiday for yourself ! Barb❤️❤️
Hi Barb! I’m so happy to see your video. You look gorgeous like always! What you’ve gone through I don’t think many people would’ve survived it. You are an amazing, kind,loving truthful woman! I admire you so much. You and Denny are so lucky to have each other, it’s like my husband and me. Without each other we would be lost. We’ve been married for 62 yrs and we do things together and go places together. Thank the Lord, because without him we would be here. We’ve had our ups and downs, our losses of loved ones and other happenings, but the Lord is always beside us and guiding us all. To you, Denny and the family have a Blessed Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. God Bless you and your family. 🙏🏻 Lots of love and hugs ❤️🤗

Yes, you are a wonderful and beautiful woman of God and I am so blessed to know you! Take care and I am keeping you both in my prayers....your Denny and my Denny....love and hugs and peace and quiet...Jeanie xxooo
So wonderful to hear from you. The real estate bubble got us too at a bad time health wise. Took SS early and that was about all we have had financially. We were always generous to our children and they are all generous us. They are all wonderful beautiful children . We have lost a son and a granddaughter, and my husband recently passed away. It's important to stay strong ,like you said, for all the people that love us. You have a wonderful outlook and I can relate to you on that , and you have a good way of expressing life and its ups and downs. Warmest regard to you and your husband, Liz
You have the most wonderful smile and it’s always so great to see it. And as sick as you can be you always look so nice. Thank you for this video. I pray that you and Denny get better even if it is a little step at a time. Bless you sweet lady.
So good see you!!! You look beautiful Babs!!!! I am smiling out loud. I cried along with you and laughed with you too, like having your best friend right here!!! Wishing you and Denny and your family a very blessed Merry Christmas!!!! xoxoxo
Hi Babs 💕 really glad to see you! 💕 Talking about family for me it's me and my disabled son, that's it. He was married, but when he got sick she left. I don't know what I would do without him. I wish that I had grandkids, if something happens to me I don't know what he'll do and the same with me. Yes, it's finances, insurance, renting in an old, old house with bad landlords. It's hard to stay positive, but I do try. You look great Babs for everything that you have been through. What can we do, but keep doing, lol. Prayers for you and Denny, always!! ♥️ Love ♥️
I so agree with you, life is a roller coaster. My kids made it so fun and busy. I am 77 and have had 2 cancers, now dealing with an auto immune disease. I have been married twice, second is a winner, and has been a charm. I was told by my doctor your the prettiest 77 year old patient I have, so I know what you mean. Staying positive and admiring my older girl friends strength as their lives change makes me realize life can always be worse. We laugh and pray for each other and get through it. We are now from 55 to 92 years old. Thank you for your thoughts and videos. It's great to hear from you again. ❤ & 😂😂
I really love listening to you. You inspire me and make me smile. Everything you say about the stages of life is really spot on. I’m at the same stage as you with my granddaughter, who is 14. I miss her. 😢
Barb, my you tube friend! I am so happy to see you!! I appreciate your life chat, I can relate to so many things. We had to bring my aunt to Michigan from Chicago to live with us a few years ago. Her last 3 months of life, unfortunately we had to take her to an assisted living and it was so expensive! So I understand what you’re saying. You look beautiful Barb. I sure miss your videos and I miss your face and of course still praying for you! My best friend was just diagnosed with tongue and mouth cancer (never smoked) and now she’s going through radiation and chemo treatments. I worry about her and her teeth now because all you are going through. My daughter is a social worker also! Side tracked….. Love you Barb! Looking forward to seeing you again!
@@cherylkucharski5740 Hi my sweet Cheryl! I just love you! I’m so glad you stopped by to listen to my long video lol I’m glad also you could relate ! Getting older is not Golden like they claim … these are our Golden years …NOT! Lol but in spite of set backs we are still able to enjoy every new day together ! Michigan Senior care is off the charts! They should have cheaper places for us all, regular and assisted living too! It’s so sad Cheryl! Sorry for your Aunt too :( Email me your address! I had it but my kids cleaned out my desk and house to help me when I was in the hospital and can’t find it now ! babsishome2010@hotmail.com Thanks for all your prayers sending you much Love , Barb ❤️❤️

Sorry you have to deal with that "rotting" dental issue! LOL....Love blessings and peace during this holiday season. Hugs n love Robb
Hi Barb, I don't know if you've looked into it or not but in 2020 my husband and I got a reverse mortgage our house wasn't paid off and we had a 2nd mortgage that was due that year. We were able to pay that off and we haven't had a house payment since. We aren't sorry we got one if you have some equity in your house it might be worth you checking into it. It sure saved us!
@@Ultima771 that’s great advice ! I’ll look into that! I thought to get reverse mortgages ur house had to be paid off? I’ll let my son look into it since he is handling our finances now to help us! He has been a saver and investor in his money so he is doing very well! Last time he came to down in November he asked if he could take over for us and I said sure :) I’ll talk to him about this reverse mortgage! Thanks for ur comment! Hugs and Merry Christmas. Barb 🎄❤️🎄
@@takecontrolbeauty6402 Doesn't have to be paid off at all, you do have to have so much equity I can't remember what percentage it is but we still owed 102k on our first and 20k on our second. You don't even have to have good credit! So wonderful not having to make a house payment. Don't go with the company Tom Selleck advertises horrible company. We went with Finance America Reverse, the agent who did the paperwork was wonderful and very efficient! I hope everything works out for you! Hugs back and Merry Christmas!
Babs, I love you! You are my inspiration 💖. You’re right, life does throw us some curve balls, but we just have to keep on keeping on. With the Lord’s help, we can make it through! I still pray for you and Denny every day. God bless!
You're the best! Thank you so much for this beautiful comment! So happy u are part of my posse ! I am truly blessed! God has helped me get thru so much I can’t e en begin to tell u how blessed I am ! Sending you love and Merry Christmas ❤️❤️
I was so happy to see this video. You are so inspiring in how you have handled all the life challenges that you have had and are currently enduring. I am praying that you and Denny will continue to heal from all your medical issues. Sending my love to you both.
Money can buy you some peace of mind ..... knowing you can afford your utilities, your insurance, your mortgage / rent....etc. You're right, I think so many of us struggle for years and years and years. Very disappointing for sure! Thank you so much for sharing your very personal struggles ..... many huge hugs from your northern neighbour in Canada xoxo
I suppose money would have saved my house and car so yes it does come in handy ! Thank you for ur comment! Sending love and cheers to you for a very merry Christmas . Hugs, Barb❤
Hi Babs, you look so beautiful and healthy. But l know you have good & bad days Continue to strive & keep going. You have a very positive outlook on your life. As you said we all go thru bad times. I lost my husband over 4 1/2 yrs ago, you never know what may happen each day, l had to do cpr on him, had to pull him off the couch , as he flopped on the floor, & with the help of the dispatcher carried pumping his chest till the ambulance arrived seems liked hrs, even though my arms ached l just kept going. They did get a small glimmer of life, but he did die on the way to the hospital. But as you say, you find the strength to get on with your life. Like losing half yourself after nearly 50 yrs together, you feel lostt without your support. Your crutch, you leaned on each other now it's gone. Just you making all the decisions by yourself. So sold up, lived with my daughter for while, but then my son offerred to built a small home on his land, so l could be , close to family & support. It's the very 1st time l have ever lived on my own, very strange & can be lonely, but nice to have my own place again. Picking new furniture & bits to make it my home again. I am 75 & been in my new home just 3 mths. Still feel lonely but overcome it by doing walks every day & keeping busy , plus having 2 grand children close by taking them walks aswell,. Keeping me young. I am very healthy which is good, The walks are very therapeutic & keeps me healthy. Love listening to you. Much love to you & your husband for a long healthy life together.

@@ronaldtreacy6423 Gosh I’m so blessed to still have my husband of 50 years by my side! You put it beautifully they are our support and our crutch ! I’m so sorry you had to endure the pain of his passing and I can’t imagine how hard that must have been to do CPR on him! I’m sure he knew you were there trying ur best to save him! Sometimes when God can’t heal us he takes us home to make us whole again! I’m sure your hubby is very proud of what you did for him right up till the end ! God Bless you 🩷 How nice your son built you a home on his property! I guess u take the good with the not so good and that’s just bc ur in a strange place away from friends but how fun to decorate your own home and no mortgage wow! I use to tell my husband I could move every couple years just to get a different place and to decorate lol that’s when we were younger of coarse ! :) Thank you for your comment and have a very Blessed Merry Christmas 🎄 Sending love, Barb ♥️🎄🩷
@@cynthiapeterson2740 Awe thank you! When I joined RUclips I just wanted to help ppl be the best version of themselves they could be so I’m glad you feel I’m an inspiration! That means a lot! Merry Christmas. Hugs, Barb 🌲❤️
I hope you had a lovely Christmas with your family and that the New Year will bring lots of happy times, more miracles, and many blessings. You are a blessing to many. 💛
I'm glad to see you again. My sister says she couldn't handle all the doctor's appointments I have. You do what you have to do. I had the last appointment with the breast cancer surgeon's office this week. It's been five years, so they released me. Now it's just appointments with the oncologist for my uterine cancer, ophthalmologist for my cataracts and corneal condition, sleep apnea doctor, as well as my cardiologist, gynecologist, internist, dermatologist, podiatrist... I hope my insurance is going to be as good next year. I just got a new wig that is "Autumn Copper" and is a little below shoulder length in waves. I usually have pretty straight wigs, so this is a change. Last week I wore a green outfit, including wig, to the cancer center for my treatment. Next week I'm wearing red. I know what you mean about loose skin. I've lost weight, and I have loose skin on my upper arms and the stomach area. I also have some on my neck, which you don't have. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
So good to see you! Your attitude is inspiring!!! Will continue to pray for you sure sorry about your jaw!!! But, so wonderful that you’re in remission! God is good! (Insurance is frustrating - so sorry)! I understand losing everything- we had that happen three times. So, I understand. I’m alone now, but doing ok. The loss of your son - I remember when you let us know- sooo horrible!!! So sorry!!!
Oh my gosh, SOOO many topics hit home with me. It's like you are in my head! I was so delighted to see that you had posted a video and extremely happy to see you! Sending you my love and prayers. Merry Christmas!
Barbara it’s so nice to see your beautiful face! You make me happy when I see you. You look great and I hope you’re feeling better. I know what it’s like to lose everything. Not easy but we made it through. Have a wonderful Holiday my sweet Barbara. Love to you and Denny❤
I don’t know why RUclips just now showed me you new video. I am soooo very happy to see you looking and sounding so well. Don’t worry about the tears. I don’t think you ever get over losing a child. Both of my SIL’s lost their sons. My nephews. They were both 42 and died very suddenly and unexpectedly. I know how hard it has been on them. I can’t even imagine.i am 5 years out from my cancer diagnosis and soo grateful to still be here to see my newest grandchild and to see my youngest get married. Hopefully see the oldest grandchild graduate from high school this year. I always seem to have the odd or rare side effects too. Like the heart failure. I think it was due to the trial drug I took. But at least the cancer is gone. It is just a matter of strengthening my body again. I still have back issues. Not from cancer but just a bad back. So I know what constant pain is. We had a life change back in February. The company my husband worked for for 38 years let him and many others that had been there even longer than him go. It was very unexpected. So hubby had to go ahead and take his Social Security. He had hoped to work a bit longer and be able to save up alittle. Thank God he had almost a year of severance pay so we have been able to put alittle back. I took my Social Security early as well. I don’t get a lot but between the two of us we will receive almost as much as he made working. He may take a part time job as well. We have pretty much lived week to week our whole married life but we were able to take the kids on some small vacations here and there. His 401k had to go for our youngest daughter’s wedding 2 years ago. He was hoping to be able to build it back up but that didn’t happen. So God is helping us make it through right now. Not much extra but hopefully it will all work out. Luckily hubby is healthy so I am the one with all the drugs and drs. So far we have been blessed to get manufactures coupons for my high meds.hubby is on Medicare now and his part C and D don’t cost him anything. I had to go to the healthcare. Gov to get insurance. Since we don’t make much, mine will now be $30 a month. So we are happy about that. The copays are a bit higher but will help out. I wish we had realized how to invest our money and save when we were younger. Our son is soooo smart. He invests and makes money and has great plans for when they retire. They are going to be able to leave their daughter with some money. Hopefully our one daughter will be as wise. So far she is. The older one is a single Mom of 3 and doesn’t get much help from their Dads so it is hard on her to afford the basics. Just rent around here, is sooo high. We help her out with rides to and from school when we can. I pray all works out for you and Denny. Especially with your health and the insurance . You still look soo beautiful and have such a great attitude. I hope you and your family have a very blessed Christmas!🎄
Hi Pretty Lady, my name is Brenda and although I haven't commented on your videos much I guess because I'm always busy or think I am to busy. But I wanted to reach out and say hello and to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Very happy New Year. ❤❤❤❤❤ Glad to hear you are in remission. Take care and you are definitely a beautiful lady. I live in Arizona and like I said I haven't commented much and really haven't watched alot of your videos but I do think of you often. ❤
Babs!! I'm so happy to see you and hear how you & Denny are doing! You look absolutely beautiful! But, I know looks can be deceiving...I live in excruciating pain every minute of every day and I know you do as well. I even have trouble getting around with my walker but God blesses me daily. My dear husband of 48 years passed away in March and life hasn't been the same. We had been together since I was 15 & he was 16, sitting together in church. So we were together for actually 50 years! Today (the 12th) would've been our 49th anniversary. I managed to go to the Cemetery; my sister & I had made a beautiful arrangement, placed it at our marker next to his white cross and I put solar lights around it, too. Looks beautiful and peaceful at night. He's buried just below my parents, who loved him dearly, so I visit both at the same time. I've been having to deal with so much since he passed. Still owe on our home and my income has been cut almost in half since he passed. I'm still dealing with things even after 9 months. I totally understand about the insurance mess. Struggling about what to do for next year. I'm struggling now with spine issues and now something is going on with my bladder or kidneys so I have to see a specialist in January. Dr thinks it may be due to my having had a hysterectomy due to cancer in 2017. Isn't it funny how people you think are such good friends while hubby was still alive and checked on me so often, have suddenly disappeared. I hear nothing from them. It hurts but I'll be ok. God has blessed me in ways I never expected! Thankfully, our son & DIL have moved in with me and will eventually take over the care of the house. I don't know what I'd do without them, even tho they work & I'm here alone during the day. I thank God you & Denny are hanging in there, with God's help!! You both have amazed me! I pray God continues to bless you both for a long time to come!! Sending great big hugs, blessings and lots of love from VA! ❤️🩹✝️🙏🎄✨️🎁❄️
You do look young with all your makeup, wig, and youthful dressing, but not just that your voice, your mind, and your talking is youthful in tone. I said to my husband had I not told you she was 81 you wouldn't know she wasnt in her 60's.. It was so good to hear about Life and your life. I know I am about to get that bump of worrying about aging.. Prayers for your health and for you to stay in remission. Hugs.
Hi Barb, it's so good to see you! I'm in Florida & the retirement facilities are just as expensive as here. It's ridiculous. I hope you & Denny have a wonderful Christmas. We love you.❤❤
You do look good. We live until our body says no more, then our souls pop out, we don't die.. That is what we really are, light bodies .I'm older too, but will live until my time. Insurance companies are big stock market traders. Cute top and wig! Love you and Denny!
Love seeing you. ❤ I know you're doing so much better than you were and 🙏 the good reports continue. ❤ prayers for Denny too. I'm 75 and my husband is 69and we have our "stuff" to deal with like everyone else. We have too large a house now that we're older and arthritis holds us down, but it's paid off and that's a huge blessing. We have my mother-in-law to thank for that. Inherited money helped. I'm blessed over the moon. We have your same things you mentioned. Try to stay positive but I don't have your bubbly optimism so I'm a worrier. We get by though. God bless you and keep holding you and Denny in your care. Just love you and your videos very much.
Hi Kris🥰 So happy you stopped by to listen to my video that means a lot especially since you have been thru the same stuff! It’s difficult sometime to not be a worrier ! Things pop up new and you do worry! I’m not ever saying I don’t worry about stuff too bc I do but I slap myself across my cheek and say to myself “ Babsy snap out of it”! I usually do lol it’s wonderful to have ur home paid for, God Bless your mother in law! Can I ask you how many years have you been married? Thank you for this comment:) I’m staying positive and that’s what keeps me going! Love you to pieces and thank you for being the best part of my channel ! Merry Christmas Barb ❤️❤️🎄🎄
Hi sweet Barb! You still look so pretty as always! Very nice to see you again! You have remained in my daily prayers! May you have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year! God Bless you, yours and family!❤❤❤❤
Babs, so good to see you, you look wonderful. Cancer free WOOHOO! I love Ella Freda products. I don't like the shorts. Love to you Babs and as usual you and Denny continue to be on my prayer list. Merry Christmas to you and you family.🙏🙏
Looking gorgeous as usual, Babs. Loved this share vlog. I’m in my late 50s and often think I’m in my “end times” with all the death and decay, loss and suffering… But, in many ways, it’s like a new age. There so mush more wisdom now, more appreciation for what is and less judgement of it. One day we’ll all pass on to those heavenly realms but the older I get, the more grateful I am for the brief time we have on this amazing planet, surrounded by all this chaos and insanity lol Personally, I think senility is the stage where we realize the truth of what a comedy life is. For now, I’m grateful that I’m able to sit at your table and drink up your wisdom and teachings… looking forward to the wig reviews too:) ❤🙏💕
You’re truly an amazing lady. So wonderful to see your smiling face. The peace of the Lord be with you and your hubby this Christmas and may you receive many more blessings in the New Year. Hugs Barb! ♥️🎄♥️
@@artsydancequeen2964 thank you so much! Finances and Insurance issues are tough!!! I’m going to be 82 and trying to enjoy our every days and stay positive ! Merry Christmas. Love, Barb❤️
OMG! So good to see you, Babs! I see you're your usual wacky self... and I love it! Wishing you and Denny and the rest of your family a wonderful Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!!! Looking forward to your wig review. God bless!

Good to see you. Spot on video. Life certainly does throw us some curveballs. I’m 77 and there’s been many. Cancer at 46. Hubby drowned at 51. In my 70’s the curveballs have been Cataracts, Pulmonary embolism both lungs, fractured femur, hole in retina, semi detached retina both eyes. We have to keep a positive attitude or we’re done for. Keep that beautiful smile. Merry Christmas! Big Hugs ❤
@@VictoriaT47 Victoria you are a true example of what staying positive can do for us! So sorry about ur hubby! That had to be so tragic especially when he was so young! But all you have been thru here you are on the other side of all that and enjoying your days which proves how strong us woman can be when we have to step up! I’m so proud of you and u are an inspiration to me! God Bless you! Go get yourself (or order online lol) something special for yourself this Christmas you deserve it ! I’m pinning your comment to show others how brave you are and that “We Can Do This” ! Sending you all my love Barb Merry Merry Christmas 🎄❤️🎄Q

Oh my I don't think I have ever clicked on a post so quickly. You are such a warrior and I am so glad to see you able to do this video. I hope the pain is abating a bit.
@@rustynails8756 that made me laugh 🤭 Thank you for being here ! Pain is always there but u just learn to live with it :( It is a lot better than it was two years ago when I was first diagnosed almost two years ago ! Love you to pieces! Sending u hugs, Babs ❤️❤️
Me too! It's Barb! ❤
Just now seeing this Barb 01/06/25. I hope both your Christmas and New Year were lovely. Sending continued prayers for both you and Denny🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
I was so pleased to see you posted a video. Your outfit is darling and your wig suits you so well. You're right of course, navigating our way through life is never easy, but l just put my hand in His and He walks me through it. When our loved ones go first, we realize the time we shared made us stronger and happier and in time we will all meet again.
I’m so glad to see you again. You really do look great for someone that has been through what you have been through. 💕
@@joycezervas4496 Thank you so much! It’s my face cream and my positive attitude and all of you that keep me feeling and looking my best! 😘 Love you, Barb ❤️
I'm looking in your eyes while you're talking and what an inspiration of strength and hope and zeal for life you are, Thank You!!! I'm so sorry you have to go through so much and the tremendous effort to get ready but I know how important it is to be and look our best and You Shine!!! I've been struggling with MS and HS for over 25 years and I know the effort it takes to get ready and show up smiling on a very few occasions that I do try to show up, when your totally exhausted but want to stay in the game as long as possible and people say "You look great!!" and I say "Thank You, and go home and collapse for hours. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas Lovely Lady!!! 💖🙏🌷❌⭕❌⭕
Hi Barb, its been awhile since I have commented. Larry, my husband of 50 passed away July 18. I shared last year he had ALS. I took care of him for 5 years. During that time, 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had to refuse all treatment as I was the only care giver for Larry. Dr put me on a chemo pill, still on it, and praise God, I survived an aggressive cancer. I was a prayer warrior for you on this journey you have been on. Your precious. Your friend Paula
Hi Paula! I’m so sorry about Larry ! It’s hard . This is Doloreses first Holiday without her Tim so it’s so hard on her! She is going to bereavement classes and it helps her! I think I honestly remember you telling me about his ALS last year and u saying you turned down treatment ! I think I commented on that! That’s such a tough disease to have and to caregiver for! I’m so happy your chemo pill is keeping your cancer at bay! I will pray for you everyday at our 10:00AM prayer! God bless you my sweet Paula ! Thank you for all the prayers I so appreciate you..love ya, Barb ❤
GOD bless and keep you.. Your so blessed. You should be so proud.
Why kind of cancer did you have that a pill took care of. That’s amazing i think quite a miracle really. So sorry for your loss. That’s such a hard disease. 😔
What an amazing woman you are!!! Praise God you survived the aggressive cancer!
ALS took a cousin at an early age. Bless you for the love, and care, often most difficult, and for being your OWN ADVOCATE for use of immunotherapy!! I am saddened by your loss and the emptiness you must feel. By sharing your journey you are going to enable others possibly feeling or facing similar situations who will, pardon me, WILL, benefit from immunotherapy treatment with a great deal of positivity on its outcome! Do share this wherever you can.
I will add you to my prayer list!🙏☺️
Thank you for your love, support and prayers! I can’t imagine a day without walking with Jesus ! I know he answers prayers ! I’m a walking example ! Love you, Merry Christmas Barb ❤️🎄
You look just marvelous. You look well. I’ve prayed for you and you and your courageous battle as I will continue to. 🫶🌟💕
Thank you so much! Prayers mean so much ! Sending hugs, Barb ♥️
It was 2008. I lost my home and my husband passed at the same time.
I lost my job also. It is hard.
I send you prayers and healing angels ❤❤❤❤❤God bless you
@@solewestren3218 I’m so sorry for you also! So very sorry for your hubby too how awful for you 🙏When they foreclosed on our beautiful home and my retirement went with it, I felt like I was running in circles and no exit! It was a horrible time! We lost our business a year bf the net fell on us so we knew something was coming but never dreamed how bad it got! My Denny was working but just as we thought we were on our feet bam it dropped! He got laid off and I couldn’t work bc I broke my leg and at that time wheelchair bond!No one cared or would help! Very hard times but here we are GF still running but we are running toward a happier time! Thanks for your comment Hugs, Barb ❤️🎄❤️
Best wishes. Thank you so much for your videos your skin is so beautiful and wrinkle free ❤😊
Thank you for hang’n out :0) Thank you too about my skin! I owe it all to my Ella Freda skin Products! Sending hugs, Barb ❤️❤️

@@aileenbacchus437 I’m so blessed to have my daughter still with me living close! She is my best friend. I’m trying to keep my positivity it helps heal the body ! Love ya and Merry Christmas 🌲❤️😘
I am having a double mastectomy on Monday, 12/16. I'm 75 and have no history of cancer in my large family. I had two lumpectomies, but they couldn't get clear margins. I haven't had an operation since I was 36 years old and that was a hysterectomy, so I've been in pretty good health.
Barbara, you are an amazing woman and you are stronger than you will ever know. I have been following you way before I was diagnosed with cancer.. Your positive attitude has helped me look at my situation differently. I am also a person of faith and I don't know how people do it without God in their lives.
I am so sorry all of that happened to you during the housing crash. my oldest son lost his house. it affected so many people. now housing is so expensive, how do young people ever afford a house? They don't; they are moving in with family.
@@devonnep.7126 I’m sending you many prayers for your surgery Monday! You made the right decision though! I would have done that if I had that choice! You will be just fine and your clothes will be bigger lol just kdg :0) God Bless you and yes what would we do without talking to God everyday !
Thank you for following me and I’m so happy that I could help you in many ways to stay strong! These are not our Golden Years are they!? My hubby says nothing Golden about this age haha It is though bc we are alive and every day is another gift given to us by God and our powerful positive attitudes! Love you and many prayers! Thank you for all my prayers you have given me too! Hugs, Barb❤️

Barbara I am sending you hugs and kisses right through the video! You and your family have my prayers and good thoughts. I'm sorry you lost your son a few years ago but know that you are loved. You're here for a reason. You're a tough broad and the Lord has your back!!
@@whiteroses47 Thank you for this comment! I knew I was a tough broad but man it’s tough filling those shoes :) The loss of my son is painful and I will always miss him thank you. Sending you hugs, Barb ❤️❤️
Your terrific. I know what it is like not being able to save. You don't think about it when your young. We just don't have good luck with it. It could always be worse. I am happy just being able to pay my bills, have a roof over my head and have food.. A lot of people don't have that. And of course health is number one. You have gone through so much yet you keep smiling and have a great sense of humor. Keep going Babs. Glad you felt well enough to do this video. Happy Holidays and a much healthier 2025 to you and Denny.
You are so right I guess it could be a lot worse ! Like my son said Money doesn’t buy happiness or health really it buys material things ! But someone reminded me on here that money sure helps us live a better financial life! We are not living a great financial life in our Golden years! But I’ve had many beautiful memories and so much fun getting here! I could do without this pain but staying positive helps! Thanks for your comment ! Sending u hugs, Barb❤❤ Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Hi Barb. (This is my third comment to this video. Lol!) I had no idea all the sad things you have been through.... You are remarkable in how you keep pushing ahead. I am praying for you... Hugs..
Lovely lady looking as beautiful as ever, wishing you all the best for the new year and your continued good health, never in a million years would anyone think you are 81.XX

Hi, Barb, so great to see you for a chat. You look so much better in your face than the last video. You know the greatest thing in life is to have a personal relationship with the Father. To recognise that the only way to God is through his son. So in the saviour, we should not fear what we will eat what we will wear, but put our trust in him. Agreed, prayer is what brought you to where you are today. Keep up the chats, you are loved.

What a lovely Christmas present, being able to see you online again. Live sure can throw you curves, but we go with the flow. I love Christmas too, All our presents are wrapped and under the tree, My son and daughter in law along with brother and sister in law will be here Thursday for our meal and exchange presents. I want to tell you something, I am a breast cancer survivor going on 27 years. First time was in 98, six months of chemo, second time was in 2000 six months of chemo and 10 years of oral chemo. The good Lord has let me be here , and I AM so thankful. You are a doll and I hope your here for a long, long time . Joanne from Ohio and I am 74 and have wrinkles............lol. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Yes these curveballs can really hurt at times for sure ! You wonder how are we going to get thru this but we do! You are an inspiration! They didn’t give me chemo just a pill! I wasn’t even a candidate for a mastectomy for my breast cancer bc my cancer spread to spine, lymph nodes and bones ! So I just take a pill and every time I take it every morning I pray it goes to where it’s suppose to go:) So far so good! Thank you Joanne for this comment! Get some Ella Freda it loves to get rid of wrinkles lol Merry Christmas Love, Barb 🎄❤️
Love you Barb ❤ Great to see you looking so good and being so inspiring Denny’s voice sounds strong and you sound strong too. You are both in my daily prayers for healing and comfort. Prayers for your family too. God bless you dear lady. Merry Christmas
So good to see you Barb…hugs and prayers❤
It always makes me so happy to see you in my feed. I could listen to you talk for hours. I guess I was too young to realize how badly people were hurt by the 2008 crash. I'm so sorry for your struggles with the insurance company. The system needs to change. Praying for you.
I'm glad to see you, Barb and I continue to pray for you and your husband.
❤🙏
I rely on my Heavenly Father to get through every adversity in my life. Without Him I would never get through any of it.
Amen ❤❤❤

You’re welcome and thank you for your prayers ! Losses are hard especially your child :( Thank you for commenting .. Hugs, Barb ❤️❤️
Love you, Barb, so glad to see you, agree with you about Grandkids but when I start feeling sorry for myself I think of my Grandparents and get that little guilt feeling because I didn't spend much time with them when I got older either. This was the first Thanksgiving where I didn't cook THE TURKEY and dressing, etc, felt age so so much, tried to be thankful....You look wonderful, sound better, what a Christmas gift it is for me and the rest of your 'posse.' PRAYERS

Hi Mrs Barbara, looked in your comments and saw your name. I’ve listen to your video and read your comments. Bless your heart. We all have trials. I’m 64 and a vendor caused me to fall at work. Diagnosed with a level two TBI put me in Daffy Duck land for first 3 years and I’m still trying to recover. It caused me to lose my house on 5 acres my new car I had only a year, my 3 little dogs and had to sell ever thing I owned, a big tractor and moved in with my daughter in another state. I’ve been independent since I was 18 and at 61 to lose everything I owned but my bedroom furniture. Well if I didn’t have Jesus in my life I wouldn’t be here. Jesus saved me. I’m thankful my family took me in. I miss my independence. Talk about a curve…. I love your wig post and wanted to say I love the wig you have on boy you look beautiful in those curly wigs. I’m going to look into the one you have on try and find it. You take care of yourself and thank you for your post
After all you’ve been through, you are the one encouraging everyone else! Your love for others just shines through you, and that’s maybe why you are pulling through all the stuff that’s been thrown at you. Think about you often and say a quick prayer for you every time I do my skincare at night. Bless you and sending healing thoughts your way!

You are so beautiful and no one would ever know your age I wish you a blessed and merry Christmas you and your whole family you are just the sweetest down-to-earth person I love listening to you
@@joycegoodpaster6412 awe thank you so very much Joyce for such kind words 😘 I’m happy you love listening to me! Merry Christmas to you and your family also, Barb ❤️🌲❤️🌲
I can relate to everything you have said. We lost everything in the 2008 recession as well, our home, my husband's place if business, my job as I worked wirh him, my dog who passed shortly afterwards. No kids. My husband was depressed and ill. He ended up taking his life because of all this and I was left with some life insurance. I found a place to live, the next several years I was the full time caregiver to my elderly disabled parents and along the way fought agressive breast cancer. I have never been the same since, it changes you mentally and physically. It's a joke the cost of senior living places. I find I am better off to stay in my larger home now and cover the repairs than go completely broke 'downsizing' with these outrageous prices. God bless you! So happy to hear you are in remission.
Omgoodness I’m so sorry ! We lost our business too but this was before the market crashed but things were going down the tubes bf it hit! It can really get to you! It’s easy to get depressed and it angers me that money and loss can do this to us! Your poor husband but sorry he left you to pick up the pieces! You were wonderful, as hard as that was, to take care of your parents! You are a great daughter ! ❤We cried and we argued over nothing but we were both so stressed out! My kids including my son who passed tried to help us financially but we were so in over our heads their money didn’t touch much ! What is the worst no one would work with us! Citi bank was our mortgage carrier and they treated us like garbage! They hounded me at 8:00 in the morning Sunday when I was at church and threatened us! They were awful along with everyone else ! It sounds like you have tried to pick up the pieces and you got a grip on life for yourself! Sometimes we only have ourselves ! You sound strong and you are moving forward ! I’m sure it changes you! It did us but we decided not to let them ruin our life and future and we had no choice than to move on! Thank God my daughter had a big home and took us in! You keep looking in the mirror and seeing a strong lady who is feisty and fought for what you got right now including your health ! You are a fighter and beat cancer too so girl YOU GOT THIS!
Love you and keep that beautiful head held high ! Barb❤❤❤
@@takecontrolbeauty6402Thank you so much fellow fighter. You got this! So many of us went thru that time and I believe got sick from all the stress. Love you!
You are absolutely amazing! Funny beautiful and a true inspiration! Thank you 🙏
What an amazing chat. I am 67 but you and I have experienced so many of the same things. The cancer, financial stuff, the comments by others saying "you don't look sick". You are so inspiring and motivational. You are so great, keep on keeping on lady. You are a legend.
Same here, @rustynails8756! Cancer, on welfare during treatment - thankfully was covered as I'm in Canada and our taxes goes into our health care ..... just horrid for sure!
I was so happy to see this video. I had to watch right away. You are truly a fighter. When I get fed up of my medical issues I'll have to think of you. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I'd be lost without my prayers
@@wendygricken3369 Thank you for watching right away :0) We certainly all get fed up with our medical issues but we have to just deal with them ! You just watch me whenever you feel I can help you! I pray all day long so I know the feeling 🙏Love you, Barb❤️❤️❤️
Insurance companies need to walk in the shoes of their patients. Those with cancer , elderly, maybe some cognition issues…. They need to sit down and see how difficult it is for some of their patients. Getting very specific paperwork, and the mind efforts that are needed when someone is exhausted. Most have automatic payments pulled. So when patients can no longer keep up, the payments keep getting deducted. Maybe we should share what insurance companies are doing and the names of the company. Profit yes i understand, it’s a business .Greed, no.
I agree they should walk in our shoes! Maybe the new president will address this on Insurances and their non compliance to all their customers! We are only customers to them not human beings ! ❤
Grandchildren are the best! I love mine so much! What a strong women you are, Such an encouraging video even with all you've been through. I will pray for you and your husband.
Nice to hear your cancer is in remission.
Thank you me too!!! 😘 Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Barb. You look so good. ❤🙏 I’m in the same boat as you financially. I am a cancer survivor and it was rough financially. It’s been 18 yr and I’m thankful. But I’m 77 and still making house payments.
A lot of us are in the same boat! I made this video to show we are not alone there are so many of us who struggle! But we have to look at our past and be grateful for where we are today! Good for you my strong friend for beating Cancer! God bless you I’m so proud of you! House payments are the pits but mine are way cheaper than 3-4 K a month! I’d be homeless if I had to pay that! Love you thank you for the comment and Merry Christmas! Make this a happy holiday for yourself ! Barb❤️❤️
Hi Barb! I’m so happy to see your video. You look gorgeous like always! What you’ve gone through I don’t think many people would’ve survived it. You are an amazing, kind,loving truthful woman! I admire you so much. You and Denny are so lucky to have each other, it’s like my husband and me. Without each other we would be lost. We’ve been married for 62 yrs and we do things together and go places together. Thank the Lord, because without him we would be here. We’ve had our ups and downs, our losses of loved ones and other happenings, but the Lord is always beside us and guiding us all. To you, Denny and the family have a Blessed Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. God Bless you and your family. 🙏🏻 Lots of love and hugs ❤️🤗
@@gloriaperconti3089 Gloria it’s always so great to see you here! You have been with me for a long time and ur so inspirational to me! Always saying such beautiful comments! We are blessed to have our hubby’s still with us and they would say the same about us that they are blessed too! Denny and I go a lot of place together too! I’d be lost without him !
We have all been thru our ups and downs but here we are in our Golden years still kicking ! I can’t kick as high but I’m trying:0) Thank you for your comment and I hope you and your hubby have a very Blessed Merry Christmas 🎄 Sending you love always Barb ❤️❤️
Hi there!!@🎉😂❤ it's soo good to see you!
Hi Barb...it was so so so good to see you! You look fabulous and you made me laugh out loud so many times! I cried with you and laughed with you!! Yes, you are a wonderful and beautiful woman of God and I am so blessed to know you! Take care and I am keeping you both in my prayers....your Denny and my Denny....love and hugs and peace and quiet...Jeanie xxooo
So wonderful to hear from you. The real estate bubble got us too at a bad time health wise. Took SS early and that was about all we have had financially. We were always generous to our children and they are all generous us. They are all wonderful beautiful children . We have lost a son and a granddaughter, and my husband recently passed away. It's important to stay strong ,like you said, for all the people that love us. You have a wonderful outlook and I can relate to you on that , and you have a good way of expressing life and its ups and downs. Warmest regard to you and your husband, Liz
You have the most wonderful smile and it’s always so great to see it. And as sick as you can be you always look so nice. Thank you for this video. I pray that you and Denny get better even if it is a little step at a time. Bless you sweet lady.
So good see you!!! You look beautiful Babs!!!! I am smiling out loud. I cried along with you and laughed with you too, like having your best friend right here!!! Wishing you and Denny and your family a very blessed Merry Christmas!!!! xoxoxo
Hi Babs 💕 really glad to see you! 💕 Talking about family for me it's me and my disabled son, that's it. He was married, but when he got sick she left. I don't know what I would do without him. I wish that I had grandkids, if something happens to me I don't know what he'll do and the same with me. Yes, it's finances, insurance, renting in an old, old house with bad landlords. It's hard to stay positive, but I do try. You look great Babs for everything that you have been through. What can we do, but keep doing, lol. Prayers for you and Denny, always!! ♥️ Love ♥️
I so agree with you, life is a roller coaster. My kids made it so fun and busy. I am 77 and have had 2 cancers, now dealing with an auto immune disease. I have been married twice, second is a winner, and has been a charm. I was told by my doctor your the prettiest 77 year old patient I have, so I know what you mean. Staying positive and admiring my older girl friends strength as their lives change
makes me realize life can always be worse. We laugh and pray for each other and get through it. We are now from 55 to 92 years old. Thank you for your thoughts and videos. It's great to hear from you again. ❤ & 😂😂
You are such an angel. God will take care of you. You look wonderful 😊
@@myturkeyhollow Thank you for that! God is good and I’ll take these feel good days any time I get them ! Hugs and Merry Christmas, Barb❤️
Well you answered my question. I am so sorry about your son. May his memory comfort you. Love sent plus hugs.
I seen you and glad to see you again and still so positive! Prayers for you!
I’ve missed getting sidetracked with you, lovely lady!! Big hugs and prayers❤
@@katrinagross4525 lol thank you! Trust me I get sidetracked a lot 🤣 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Barb ❤️
I really love listening to you. You inspire me and make me smile. Everything you say about the stages of life is really spot on. I’m at the same stage as you with my granddaughter, who is 14. I miss her. 😢
You are looking fabulous! Have been keeping you in my prayers. Cancer truly sucks. You are a true warrior.
Cancer does suck! It’s all the things you get battling it! I’m doing okay though ! So far so good ! Hugs, Barb ❤️
Barb, my you tube friend! I am so happy to see you!!
I appreciate your life chat, I can relate to so many things. We had to bring my aunt to Michigan from Chicago to live with us a few years ago. Her last 3 months of life, unfortunately we had to take her to an assisted living and it was so expensive! So I understand what you’re saying.
You look beautiful Barb. I sure miss your videos and I miss your face and of course still praying for you!
My best friend was just diagnosed with tongue and mouth cancer (never smoked) and now she’s going through radiation and chemo treatments. I worry about her and her teeth now because all you are going through.
My daughter is a social worker also! Side tracked…..
Love you Barb! Looking forward to seeing you again!
@@cherylkucharski5740 Hi my sweet Cheryl! I just love you! I’m so glad you stopped by to listen to my long video lol I’m glad also you could relate ! Getting older is not Golden like they claim … these are our Golden years …NOT! Lol but in spite of set backs we are still able to enjoy every new day together ! Michigan Senior care is off the charts! They should have cheaper places for us all, regular and assisted living too! It’s so sad Cheryl! Sorry for your Aunt too :(
Email me your address! I had it but my kids cleaned out my desk and house to help me when I was in the hospital and can’t find it now ! babsishome2010@hotmail.com

So good to see you! Hope you have a Merry Christmas too🌲
You look amazing!!! The power of prayer is real in our house.......other half has been cancer free 17 years.....stage 4 esophagael stomach cancer!!! I am so happy and thankful you are in remission! Sorry you have to deal with that "rotting" dental issue! LOL....Love blessings and peace during this holiday season. Hugs n love Robb
Hi Barb, I don't know if you've looked into it or not but in 2020 my husband and I got a reverse mortgage our house wasn't paid off and we had a 2nd mortgage that was due that year. We were able to pay that off and we haven't had a house payment since. We aren't sorry we got one if you have some equity in your house it might be worth you checking into it. It sure saved us!
@@Ultima771 that’s great advice ! I’ll look into that! I thought to get reverse mortgages ur house had to be paid off? I’ll let my son look into it since he is handling our finances now to help us! He has been a saver and investor in his money so he is doing very well! Last time he came to down in November he asked if he could take over for us and I said sure :) I’ll talk to him about this reverse mortgage! Thanks for ur comment! Hugs and Merry Christmas. Barb 🎄❤️🎄
@@takecontrolbeauty6402 Doesn't have to be paid off at all, you do have to have so much equity I can't remember what percentage it is but we still owed 102k on our first and 20k on our second. You don't even have to have good credit! So wonderful not having to make a house payment. Don't go with the company Tom Selleck advertises horrible company. We went with Finance America Reverse, the agent who did the paperwork was wonderful and very efficient! I hope everything works out for you!
Hugs back and Merry Christmas!
Check carefully...Reverse mortgages are not for everyone. For us it would only be a last resort.
Babs, I love you! You are my inspiration 💖. You’re right, life does throw us some curve balls, but we just have to keep on keeping on. With the Lord’s help, we can make it through! I still pray for you and Denny every day. God bless!
You're the best! Thank you so much for this beautiful comment! So happy u are part of my posse ! I am truly blessed! God has helped me get thru so much I can’t e en begin to tell u how blessed I am ! Sending you love and Merry Christmas ❤️❤️
I was so happy to see this video. You are so inspiring in how you have handled all the life challenges that you have had and are currently enduring. I am praying that you and Denny will continue to heal from all your medical issues. Sending my love to you both.
Money can buy you some peace of mind ..... knowing you can afford your utilities, your insurance, your mortgage / rent....etc. You're right, I think so many of us struggle for years and years and years. Very disappointing for sure! Thank you so much for sharing your very personal struggles ..... many huge hugs from your northern neighbour in Canada xoxo
I suppose money would have saved my house and car so yes it does come in handy ! Thank you for ur comment! Sending love and cheers to you for a very merry Christmas . Hugs, Barb❤
Hi Babs, you look so beautiful and healthy. But l know you have good & bad days Continue to strive & keep going. You have a very positive outlook on your life.
As you said we all go thru bad times. I lost my husband over 4 1/2 yrs ago, you never know what may happen each day, l had to do cpr on him, had to pull him off the couch , as he flopped on the floor, & with the help of the dispatcher carried pumping his chest till the ambulance arrived seems liked hrs, even though my arms ached l just kept going. They did get a small glimmer of life, but he did die on the way to the hospital. But as you say, you find the strength to get on with your life. Like losing half yourself after nearly 50 yrs together, you feel lostt without your support. Your crutch, you leaned on each other now it's gone. Just you making all the decisions by yourself.
So sold up, lived with my daughter for while, but then my son offerred to built a small home on his land, so l could be , close to family & support. It's the very 1st time l have ever lived on my own, very strange & can be lonely, but nice to have my own place again. Picking new furniture & bits to make it my home again. I am 75 & been in my new home just 3 mths. Still feel lonely but overcome it by doing walks every day & keeping busy , plus having 2 grand children close by taking them walks aswell,. Keeping me young. I am very healthy which is good, The walks are very therapeutic & keeps me healthy. Love listening to you. Much love to you & your husband for a long healthy life together.

@@ronaldtreacy6423 Gosh I’m so blessed to still have my husband of 50 years by my side! You put it beautifully they are our support and our crutch ! I’m so sorry you had to endure the pain of his passing and I can’t imagine how hard that must have been to do CPR on him! I’m sure he knew you were there trying ur best to save him! Sometimes when God can’t heal us he takes us home to make us whole again! I’m sure your hubby is very proud of what you did for him right up till the end ! God Bless you 🩷
How nice your son built you a home on his property! I guess u take the good with the not so good and that’s just bc ur in a strange place away from friends but how fun to decorate your own home and no mortgage wow! I use to tell my husband I could move every couple years just to get a different place and to decorate lol that’s when we were younger of coarse ! :)
Thank you for your comment and have a very Blessed Merry Christmas 🎄 Sending love, Barb ♥️🎄🩷
Barb, you are a true blessing from God & and an amazing inspiration ❣️Thank you. I pray for you always 🙏
@@cynthiapeterson2740 Awe thank you! When I joined RUclips I just wanted to help ppl be the best version of themselves they could be so I’m glad you feel I’m an inspiration! That means a lot! Merry Christmas. Hugs, Barb 🌲❤️
I hope you had a lovely Christmas with your family and that the New Year will bring lots of happy times, more miracles, and many blessings. You are a blessing to many. 💛
@@lauras.8526 Thank you so much! What a sweet comment and much appreciated 🥰 Happy New year Love, Barb ❤️
I'm glad to see you again. My sister says she couldn't handle all the doctor's appointments I have. You do what you have to do. I had the last appointment with the breast cancer surgeon's office this week. It's been five years, so they released me. Now it's just appointments with the oncologist for my uterine cancer, ophthalmologist for my cataracts and corneal condition, sleep apnea doctor, as well as my cardiologist, gynecologist, internist, dermatologist, podiatrist... I hope my insurance is going to be as good next year. I just got a new wig that is "Autumn Copper" and is a little below shoulder length in waves. I usually have pretty straight wigs, so this is a change. Last week I wore a green outfit, including wig, to the cancer center for my treatment. Next week I'm wearing red. I know what you mean about loose skin. I've lost weight, and I have loose skin on my upper arms and the stomach area. I also have some on my neck, which you don't have. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Great to see you Barb. Sending hugs and prayers across the miles.
🎂🎉🥳
So good to see you! Your attitude is inspiring!!! Will continue to pray for you sure sorry about your jaw!!! But, so wonderful that you’re in remission! God is good! (Insurance is frustrating - so sorry)! I understand losing everything- we had that happen three times. So, I understand. I’m alone now, but doing ok.
The loss of your son - I remember when you let us know- sooo horrible!!! So sorry!!!
Oh my gosh, SOOO many topics hit home with me. It's like you are in my head! I was so delighted to see that you had posted a video and extremely happy to see you! Sending you my love and prayers. Merry Christmas!
Barbara it’s so nice to see your beautiful face! You make me happy when I see you. You look great and I hope you’re feeling better. I know what it’s like to lose everything. Not easy but we made it through. Have a wonderful Holiday my sweet Barbara. Love to you and Denny❤
Hi Barb, I’m so happy to see you. I live the advice you give and I love watching you. God bless you and your family ❤
I don’t know why RUclips just now showed me you new video. I am soooo very happy to see you looking and sounding so well. Don’t worry about the tears. I don’t think you ever get over losing a child. Both of my SIL’s lost their sons. My nephews. They were both 42 and died very suddenly and unexpectedly. I know how hard it has been on them. I can’t even imagine.i am 5 years out from my cancer diagnosis and soo grateful to still be here to see my newest grandchild and to see my youngest get married. Hopefully see the oldest grandchild graduate from high school this year. I always seem to have the odd or rare side effects too. Like the heart failure. I think it was due to the trial drug I took. But at least the cancer is gone. It is just a matter of strengthening my body again. I still have back issues. Not from cancer but just a bad back. So I know what constant pain is. We had a life change back in February. The company my husband worked for for 38 years let him and many others that had been there even longer than him go. It was very unexpected. So hubby had to go ahead and take his Social Security. He had hoped to work a bit longer and be able to save up alittle. Thank God he had almost a year of severance pay so we have been able to put alittle back. I took my Social Security early as well. I don’t get a lot but between the two of us we will receive almost as much as he made working. He may take a part time job as well. We have pretty much lived week to week our whole married life but we were able to take the kids on some small vacations here and there. His 401k had to go for our youngest daughter’s wedding 2 years ago. He was hoping to be able to build it back up but that didn’t happen. So God is helping us make it through right now. Not much extra but hopefully it will all work out. Luckily hubby is healthy so I am the one with all the drugs and drs. So far we have been blessed to get manufactures coupons for my high meds.hubby is on Medicare now and his part C and D don’t cost him anything. I had to go to the healthcare. Gov to get insurance. Since we don’t make much, mine will now be $30 a month. So we are happy about that. The copays are a bit higher but will help out. I wish we had realized how to invest our money and save when we were younger. Our son is soooo smart. He invests and makes money and has great plans for when they retire. They are going to be able to leave their daughter with some money. Hopefully our one daughter will be as wise. So far she is. The older one is a single Mom of 3 and doesn’t get much help from their Dads so it is hard on her to afford the basics. Just rent around here, is sooo high. We help her out with rides to and from school when we can. I pray all works out for you and Denny. Especially with your health and the insurance . You still look soo beautiful and have such a great attitude. I hope you and your family have a very blessed Christmas!🎄
Hi Pretty Lady, my name is Brenda and although I haven't commented on your videos much I guess because I'm always busy or think I am to busy. But I wanted to reach out and say hello and to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Very happy New Year. ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to hear you are in remission. Take care and you are definitely a beautiful lady. I live in Arizona and like I said I haven't commented much and really haven't watched alot of your videos but I do think of you often.
❤
Babs!! I'm so happy to see you and hear how you & Denny are doing! You look absolutely beautiful! But, I know looks can be deceiving...I live in excruciating pain every minute of every day and I know you do as well. I even have trouble getting around with my walker but God blesses me daily. My dear husband of 48 years passed away in March and life hasn't been the same. We had been together since I was 15 & he was 16, sitting together in church. So we were together for actually 50 years! Today (the 12th) would've been our 49th anniversary. I managed to go to the Cemetery; my sister & I had made a beautiful arrangement, placed it at our marker next to his white cross and I put solar lights around it, too. Looks beautiful and peaceful at night. He's buried just below my parents, who loved him dearly, so I visit both at the same time. I've been having to deal with so much since he passed. Still owe on our home and my income has been cut almost in half since he passed. I'm still dealing with things even after 9 months. I totally understand about the insurance mess. Struggling about what to do for next year. I'm struggling now with spine issues and now something is going on with my bladder or kidneys so I have to see a specialist in January. Dr thinks it may be due to my having had a hysterectomy due to cancer in 2017. Isn't it funny how people you think are such good friends while hubby was still alive and checked on me so often, have suddenly disappeared. I hear nothing from them. It hurts but I'll be ok. God has blessed me in ways I never expected! Thankfully, our son & DIL have moved in with me and will eventually take over the care of the house. I don't know what I'd do without them, even tho they work & I'm here alone during the day. I thank God you & Denny are hanging in there, with God's help!! You both have amazed me! I pray God continues to bless you both for a long time to come!! Sending great big hugs, blessings and lots of love from VA! ❤️🩹✝️🙏🎄✨️🎁❄️
You do look young with all your makeup, wig, and youthful dressing, but not just that your voice, your mind, and your talking is youthful in tone. I said to my husband had I not told you she was 81 you wouldn't know she wasnt in her 60's.. It was so good to hear about Life and your life. I know I am about to get that bump of worrying about aging.. Prayers for your health and for you to stay in remission. Hugs.
Hi Barb, it's so good to see you! I'm in Florida & the retirement facilities are just as expensive as here. It's ridiculous. I hope you & Denny have a wonderful Christmas. We love you.❤❤
Where is Delores' channel? So lovely to see you! You are such an inspiration!
You do look good. We live until our body says no more, then our souls pop out, we don't die.. That is what we really are, light bodies .I'm older too, but will live until my time. Insurance companies are big stock market traders. Cute top and wig! Love you and Denny!
Love seeing you. ❤ I know you're doing so much better than you were and 🙏 the good reports continue. ❤ prayers for Denny too. I'm 75 and my husband is 69and we have our "stuff" to deal with like everyone else. We have too large a house now that we're older and arthritis holds us down, but it's paid off and that's a huge blessing. We have my mother-in-law to thank for that. Inherited money helped. I'm blessed over the moon. We have your same things you mentioned. Try to stay positive but I don't have your bubbly optimism so I'm a worrier. We get by though. God bless you and keep holding you and Denny in your care. Just love you and your videos very much.
Hi Kris🥰 So happy you stopped by to listen to my video that means a lot especially since you have been thru the same stuff! It’s difficult sometime to not be a worrier ! Things pop up new and you do worry! I’m not ever saying I don’t worry about stuff too bc I do but I slap myself across my cheek and say to myself “ Babsy snap out of it”! I usually do lol it’s wonderful to have ur home paid for, God Bless your mother in law! Can I ask you how many years have you been married? Thank you for this comment:) I’m staying positive and that’s what keeps me going! Love you to pieces and thank you for being the best part of my channel ! Merry Christmas Barb ❤️❤️🎄🎄
Hi sweet Barb! You still look so pretty as always! Very nice to see you again! You have remained in my daily prayers! May you have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year! God Bless you, yours and family!❤❤❤❤
Babs, so good to see you, you look wonderful. Cancer free WOOHOO! I love Ella Freda products. I don't like the shorts. Love to you Babs and as usual you and Denny continue to be on my prayer list. Merry Christmas to you and you family.🙏🙏
I am praying for you. You are a bright Star that crossed my life today. Insurance is terrible I hate it!!
Oh gosh thank you for that! Your comment made me smile! Hugs and love ❤❤❤
Looking gorgeous as usual, Babs. Loved this share vlog. I’m in my late 50s and often think I’m in my “end times” with all the death and decay, loss and suffering… But, in many ways, it’s like a new age. There so mush more wisdom now, more appreciation for what is and less judgement of it.
One day we’ll all pass on to those heavenly realms but the older I get, the more grateful I am for the brief time we have on this amazing planet, surrounded by all this chaos and insanity lol
Personally, I think senility is the stage where we realize the truth of what a comedy life is.
For now, I’m grateful that I’m able to sit at your table and drink up your wisdom and teachings… looking forward to the wig reviews too:) ❤🙏💕
You’re truly an amazing lady. So wonderful to see your smiling face. The peace of the Lord be with you and your hubby this Christmas and may you receive many more blessings in the New Year. Hugs Barb! ♥️🎄♥️
So good to see You Barb, & hear how well you’re doing! Blessings to You & Denny (& your family). 😘🫂😘🫂
Love to you Barb and Denny, Merry Christmas with all God's blessings
What a blessing you are, dear Barb. Thank you
I'm so glad to see you again! Sending you prayers for continued remission and for your financial issues. 🙏❤
