    Lester - you're emotional because it's the second time you've lost a home and I can't imagine how hard that must be. We don't need you to man-up - just let it out.

    It was so appropriate for you to start the video with something funny. But Lester, for the past week, my emotions have been a roller coaster. Just thinking about you and this feeling like a repeat of Harvey, my heart was breaking for you. You having to relive this again. You put out such powerful videos that I know many of us shed tears over. And I'm sure you probably shed a lot of tears too. You just made sure we didn't see them. But we know you too well Lester. And I dreaded you having to go through the barndominium because it holds a lot of memories for you. I'm so glad you have Jami to lean on. The two of you have really been through a lot this year. Just know the two have you have so many people that love and support you. Sending continued prayers, love and hugs. 🙏♥️🤗

    I think its natural to become emotional after the initial adrenaline dies off and the very hard work and lack of good sleep for days you are bound to hit the point of emotions once you take a minute and take in in the things that have changed your lives yet again. So dont apologise for being human Lester and having a really big heart because you are allowed to be emotional about things you love and lose ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    OMG! I heard Jami talking about this & it is hilarious!!! I needed this laugh today & so did you! The Sanctuary looks really good for just being flooded & you all have worked hard to clean it up. You are probably so emotional because you've reached a point where you have taken care of things that really needed to be done immediately & it's time for your mind to relieve the pressure....It's like when you hold your breath, & finally let it out. Plus, the barndominium has so many memories & was your home & it's difficult to say goodbye. Take the time to let it all out, cry, or whatever ...then your mind can start all over again. Don't be embarrassed at being emotional, it's part of what makes you so endearing, Lester. Badass one minute & a sort of crying sweetheart the next! If you all haven't found any snakes, you are so fortunate!

    You are right that this needs to be LE and Megan’s story. But I believe you see them and their strengths and challenges and will help them establish priorities to do and provide amazing guidance. And yes, just like others need help, they will absolutely need your help with not only establishing priorities but in the actual doing. I am so sorry you lost the barndominium. If you ever feel ready it would be really interesting to hear you tell the stories of some of the items from that space. It seems to hold more memories than any other space. Maybe some of those paintings etc can make their way to your big space attached to your apartment? To create a “survivor cave” apace in there would be super cool?

Keep photo albums, books, family mementos & paperwork, up high& i Everything else is not that important.

It's a place of cherished memories, hard work, hopes, plans & dreams & l think it should stay that way.

I have tried listening to some and the people they have narrating the books voices are not nearly as captivating as yours. Every video with you is a good video.

Make it a dedication that you overcame the flood. That could be a future project after everything is finished in the cleanup projects. Time to ponder and think about what you would like it to be. Lots and lots of work ahead. And for goodness sakes there is not a thing in the world to be embarrassed about crying. You created a lot of beautiful memories there.

    If no ones stays in the barndimium alot ,it probably be more needed as keeping feed in to protect it from the elements, nursery if needed, a treatment room,keeping the horse blankets along with the saddles that are in there. So much space that could be used for the good of the animals needs .
    Things are coming right along with the help of the Morrow Hill gang. Everyone that has worked hours on end should be very proud of the work ethic and accomplishments that have been done in such a short amount of time. ❤

    That barn back then gave you the chance to rebuild, survive and you most certainly did, it's presence was everything that helped you make it but remember you have and look at all the animals and feathers you have and are still taking care of and loving!

    I am so glad that you all have each other to hold each other up. I have cried, and laughed, and mourned, and giggled with the Morrow family for years, and normally I don't comment on videos, but this has been a blessing to watch, but heartbreaking to see happen to you all over again. I don't have friends or family to share my life with, but I am so thankful to have you all to share your lives with us. We love you, and we are all so proud of you.
    Edit: After reading a lot of the comments, I am so proud of your little community on the youtubes. But I am absolutely disgusted by how many hateful and negative comments that obviously miserable and self loathing human dumpsters that there are in this world. Is there not enough hate in the world? Is there not enough people tearing other people apart when they need uplifted? It is sickening. Hold your heads up, Morrow family. You've got this.

    Lester this has touched my heart so much. The love abd loss of a home and attempting to rebuild what was lost is hard. You have every right to feel the wzy you do. When my mom passed and we had to sell it, before I handed over the keys to the new owners I ask if I could walk through it one last time before they took it over. The song that built me by Miranda Lambert came rushing into my thoughts all the memories came flooding into my very soul.all my childhood, holidays anniversaries were in and around the one bedroom house that my daddy mama and we children help make it into a 3br 2 bath home. Graduations and my dad passing my mom ,sister and so many have gone. Its me now in my own home watching my great grandchidren grow into young adults. Our memories are where began, add to and decide how it might end. As for my 77 year old self my memories like you make me emotional, bring tears to my eyes but I am blessed to have lived the life I have. Your family is just one of the reasons I get up and watch a very special family. God Bless you Lester for being the man you are. Have a good day my fellow Texan😊❤

    I have a memory here in your home that I'll never forget. The day Ringo was up on the couch, standing, looking like he was trying to change the channels on the TV! And seeing Annie be brave enough to come inside as well.
    I would love to have that picture on the wall of Ringo. It's similar to my 20x24 in my bedroom.
    I love you, Lester ❤

    I feel ya today Lester. We had tornadoes hit in Sullivan, Missouri yesterday. And today ,I guess wind sheer. Not sure tornado hit yet. Big trees fell over everywhere. And quite a bit of flooding here and there.
    It hurts when you lose your home from flooding. So many memories. But you have pictures and videos. And most of all you have your families. That Lester is such a blessing. Hugs to you all. And God bless all of you.

The rush of things to be done are over flowing in your head, but listen to yourself; one day at a time. Thank you both again for your lives with us. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Makes us feel like family. Praying for y'all. 😊🙏💕

    Rebuild it but last. Get all the "necessary " work done first.
    Strip it out of the water damaged things, let it totally dry out. Then fix the other things that are more important and then relax...You will know when you are ready to rebuild it. But you will regret if you don't rebuild it.
    Start from within, your living quarters and then work out from there.......barns, well house, supply area. Hire some high school kids to help with the cleanup. I will gladly come and help, seriously. I owe you for all you have done for me/us!!!!! Love you guys.

  • @millieharmon3616

    Lester , it's been an emotional roller-coaster ride for all of us as well. Watching all of the videos of the devastation ,all the damage to Papaw's and Gigi's . The look of terror on Alissa's face as they were leaving. The hurt and longing as Tina being away from her family wanting to be able to be there. The fear and confusion of the animals as the were being taken from their home to safety. I felt so sorry for Donkey Dan ,knowing he probably remembered Harvey. I'm surprised that all of the Morrows haven't just sit down and had a good cry fest, fill another dumpster full of tissues. So go ahead and cry Lester. And then thank God for what you have , then get back to work.

    What is amazing to me is the blessing of having so much family there…and how you all help each other. I would so love to have family and land and animals…but we don’t, not close by. My husband is very sick with 2 incurable diseases, I have an injured back from 3 different car accidents many years ago. Our only daughter and her husband live 4 hours away and they have to drive over mountains to get here which get snow in fall, winter and sometimes in Spring. In my eyes you have so many blessings. I know you have difficulties. I guess I’m saying…we all need to count our blessings especially when it’s difficult.

Came home to a horrible mess. 18" of water in house. Lost everything lower level. Count our blessings Lester....we are all here. Loss is hard, very hard, but......

    Lester, I’m more than willing and happy to listen to you vent. You are working through very powerful emotions. I’m glad you shared with us. We are your safe place. The barnduminium, like a Phoenix, will rise to the form needed at Ima Survivor Sanctuary. I’m pretty sure that most FANmily do not expect things to go back to normal right away. I think what we REALLY want to do is form work parties to come help or feed everyone. But, since it’s not workable, we’ll continue to pray for your strength, fortitude and safety as everyone rebuilds.

    Sorry you're having a "bad day" coping with EVERYTHING. The losses you and your family have suffered over the several years are more than any that I could've dreamed of going through myself. Still your mind, rest your soul, and go hug the ones you love.

    Too many days and nights of doing more than anyone should have to do. Exhaustion, worry, lack of sleep, and 2nd time around gives you the license to get very emotional! You are stronger than most of the men would be! Just hang in there, and like you said, one thing at a time...Love and prayers! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

    Lester I want to thank you for being emotional. ❤ It would be concerning if you weren't. It's actually very healthy to express emotions. It shows the amazing heart you have. Full of love and thankfulness for everything you have around you and especially for your family and fur babies. Showing emotions is a strength, please remember that 🙂.
    This past July my entire finished basement flooded in a freak rain storm that stalled over the area where I live. This is the first time in my life that I have ever experienced a flood. It's not a normal occurrence here on the East coast of Canada. I live in Nova Scotia. I totally understand the magnitude of the steps that go into the tear down and rebuild and the feelings of loosing things that can't be replaced. It is just a whole lot. Mine is still a work in progress.
    God bless you and your family for the strength, fortitude, positive attitude and outlook you all have after experiencing this repeatedly.
    I pray for you all to have the wisdom you need for a permanent solution that will eliminate it from ever happening again or at the least substantially minimize any event in the future.
    Keep your chin up Lester and remember that you have an amazing heart ❤.
    Thanks for sharing the bardominium history with us.

    Evening Lester. Sometimes it’s good to share your thoughts and emotions what you have all been through would bring up emotions from past present and future. Thank you for sharing. The Barndominium was your home and your bolt hole after Harvey and is full of memories. Heard so many stories from your time there watched the videos also. Don’t ever apologise not necessary just wish there was more we could do to help you both. Please take care of you please and Jami. Lots of love and prayers. God Bless. 💕🙏🤠
