    She's holding her precious son in heaven! My first time watching. I have subscribed. God bless you n your son for what you do. I'm a senior living in Colorado. I do 6 memorials groups in FB for local high school youths who pass away and a group for locals who have contributed to commenity. So I honor people just like you are doing just differently. It feels good in our hearts to cafe about these people who are no longer walking this planet we live in.

    Thank you for cleaning her gravestone.
    I feel for her because I’ve had 3
    C-sections and so I know a little what she went through.
    My last CSection the doctor put staples in and they didn’t hold so I was put on bed rest until the wound closed up enough that it wouldn’t get infection.
    I had a visiting nurse come out and change the dressings that they packed in so that it was clean. She also weighed my son each time she came out.
    She said he was growing like a weed.
    He is now a big handsome strapping man in his 30’s.
    I can’t help but think that but for the grace of God I could have met her fate too.
    The doctor told me if I was to get pregnant again it could kill me so I had him tie my tubes before I went home

      Ronin and I were visiting my mom’s grave back in December of 2022 and he asked if we had any other family there that I could introduce him to. So ronin got to meet his great grandmother (we cleaned her headstone a few months ago)and his great grandfather. Then I remembered my 8 year old uncle was there also. He was hit and killed back in 1971 getting off the school bus when a semi failed to stop. So we found his grave and it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in decades. If ever. So he was close in age to my Uncle Jimmy and I could see the wheels turning in his head. He asked if I had any tools in my truck that could help clean it off for him. I just happened to, so he sat there for a good while cleaning it off for him. I pulled out my phone and recorded it for family, as I thought it was the sweetest thing. Then after he was done he said he wanted to clean more. So the channel was all his idea really. ☺️
