    There is always one thing that is remarkably clear, Andrea ADORED those children. I never comment but this video was so heart warming to watch.

      She made it very clear how much she loved and adored Tom and the kids. I am so glad she left these videos so the kids will be able to look back and remember how much their mom loved them. Rest in peace Andrea ❤🙏🏼

    Andrea was an old soul. Homeschooling, gardening, sewing, decorating, cooking, baking and time for her husband and kiddos. She definitely had patience of gold. She was one of a kind. She had beautiful big eyes. It's so comforting to hear her voice again . These videos of her like a treasure to your kids can look back at the videos that she made. Unfortunately, Hannah was so young when she passed away this would be amazing for her. I can't believe it's been 5 years already. Tom you should be proud of yourself you're both mom and dad to your children and they adore you and you did a wonderful job. Most men couldn't do what you've done raising your children by yourself and cooking and having birthday parties and play Christmas shopping and so forth Andrea I'm sure is very proud of you.

    My husband passed in 2014, and he had a feeding tube and had a trachea. He wasn't able to talk. Well, about a year later, a friend was helping to clean out my kitchen cabinets and was like, "What is this. It was a small recorder, and it was him talking. What a blessing because I had forgotten what his voice sounded like!! This is great for the children.

    Andrea was not like other Christian moms she was literally a Christian SUPERWOMAN she was an ultimate mama. She never raised her voice she was so gentle. This world truly did not deserve someone like her. An Angel on earth who had important things to do in heaven that’s for sure.

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  2 месяца назад +13

    Your family popped up on my YT channel just 2 months prior to Andrea passing away. I was in awe of her, I went back and watched some of her earlier videos. She was an amazing person, & a great mom. I can't believe it's been five years. I lost my husband 9 years into our marriage, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him we never had children, we said we would start trying and then he passed away. I will be 65 next month. I'm a Christian and I felt if God had another person for me he would have sent him, and that's okay. I have a full life, and I have many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. But watching you Tom, you're an amazing father, Your children are blessed to have such a wonderful dad May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.🙏❤️🙏

    These are the types of vlogs I used to LOVE to watch. The kiddos doing homework, or just enjoying life. Andrea’s soothing voice, Asher always working hard and doing his best to get clients, Judah doing his math and hating it. Solly being so adorable and all the kids so focused on their lessons. I miss these vlogs.

    This was bittersweet to watch. Andrea was so sweet, kind, humble, and a wonderful Mom and Wife to y'all. I know it has been a rough battle with not having her here with you. Tom, you have done the absolute best job a man could do being a Daddy plus a Mommy! You may not feel that way, but I don't feel anyone could top how you have taken care of your kids! You are always in my prayers, and the kids too. God is going to give you that special woman you are looking for to be your wife in His timing. God knows exactly what we need and when we need it. Its hard to wait and be patient, but He has saved you alot of heartaches you aren't even aware of since the passing of Andrea. God knows exactly who He wants for you and the kids. Just keep your faith in God cause He knows all. Love y'all!

    It is absolutely so amazing that you have so much recorded with Andrea, for the children's sake they can keep their mother close not only to their heart but their memories. And for you Tom, I'm sure many times over you just need a bit for yourself and yes to let yourself grieve. That will never go away, and you wouldn't want it to. We just don't let go of those that we love!

    Hi, I know what you are going through and everyday is a struggle. I lost my husband last August 2023 then my son lost his wife, our beautiful Lani who was only 32 years old. I now take care of her four beautiful children while my son works. At times it's a struggle and cry for both my hubby and daughter in law. My four grandchildren are going through their emotions so my son put them in counseling. I pray all the time for strength and guidance so I do a great job raising them. I don't know how she did this but I see you have more and your children all help o. Also their strength comes from nowing Jesus Christ. I'm teaching my grandchildren to pray and buy them children's bible story books. My son now goes to church so we are all healing with our loved ones gone and trying to move on. Please pray for us I would greatly appreciate it. God bless you. 😢😢❤❤😊
