    Wow! This looks amazing! So homey and inviting. You will make lots of beautiful memories here, along with some peaceful times for yourself.
    I am reminded of a verse in the book of Proverbs. "In all labor, there is profit."
    May our Father continue to rain His blessings down on you and your loves. 😊

    The transformation of your home from the very beginning to now is just extraordinary! You have taken something a lot of people would have hauled off and just kept the land and you have transformed it into something absolutely beautiful. You have a great eye to see the beauty in things that others including me.. might miss. I'm going to be honest it amazes me!! I'm sure Timmy is up there singing for the Lord and having a grand time in the warmth of his love. Know that you will see him again but also know that your life continues and Timmy would want you to live a full one. We all love you, support you, and keep you in our prayers. God Bless

    Flower gardening and working in my yard was my solace after I lost my husband almost seven years ago. It gave me a purpose, something to take care of and I felt like I was needed. Yard work and flowers has since become one of my absolute favorite things to do!! I pray that it will bring you as much joy and peace as it has me over the years! Keep moving forward, you are doing great!!! ❤❤❤❤

      Regena Hatfield….
      This is such a beautiful post and I just wanted to point that out. It seems like there’s so much negativity out there and the people that are miserable and negative feel like they need to snarl, unnecessarily, at others. If they’re miserable, they want others to be miserable too. What’s the saying, “Misery loves company “? No thank you. So yes, this post really touched my heart ❤️ and I know it had to have had the same effect on Stephanie. More people need to spread love. Stephanie’s got such an incredible channel and her and Timmy were so sweet and perfect for each other. He’s so loved and will be missed so much by many. I hope that in addition to her lawn and garden projects, her memories of Timmy will also provide solace while she grieves his absence.

I know it lightens your heart, even though you’re grieving. I loved that your last video was titled, “Learning to live with grief.” You are doing a great job, and we will support you all the way!

    Hi Stephanie ! I hope after you get everything done on your patio, you get a rain shower to nestle everything in. God puts something special in his rain that makes the earth so lush! I have continued to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. The bracelet you got is precious. I could see the pictures of you and Timmy. What a thoughtful gift! It was comforting to see Timmy's hat, watch and Bible! I know that sounds crazy cause I never got to actually meet him but Timmy had such a wonderful way of making me feel like family. You and your whole family do. Y'all gotta a fan in Texas for sure. I love how your folks are always there when you need them! That's the way it should be. Your Dad letting his little grandson help him plant was just precious. The love and patience your family has in helping each other is what this world needs so desperately. Good men and women are far and few between. I just love all y'all and I am so thankful you have their love and support! God bless and keep you in His loving care! 😘🇨🇱 Vivian from Texas

I love Merina. I love the tree, stone, and flag as well. They are all so precious. It was very touching to see Timmy's cap, watch, and Bible. I can hear him in my head as I text, singing peace in the valley. Love Melissa in the mountains of Virginia. 🙏

    Stephanie, I love the patio, it looks so cozy and a perfect place to be when it's not too hot outside. I think the step stones are a good idea so the kids won't be tempted to walk through the mulch and scatter it into your rocks. The privacy fence will be nice, maybe you can hang some pots on the fence and maybe put some lights also. Yes, Merina is a wonderful thoughtful person, I love her & family they are so much fun to watch on their channel. I'm glad to see you are trying to stay busy it helps I think when we have lost someone, it keeps our mind busy instead of dwelling on things we can't change. When we lost our daughter, I knew she would have wanted us to live for her. God Bless you Stepanie, Kathy

    I love all the work you did on your outdoor patio! It looks beautiful💐! You have such a wonderful talent and I'm thankful you are continuing to share it with us. Your ability to move forward after loosing your husband is a witness that God's grace does sustain His children. That and finding comfort in knowing you will see your sweet Timmy again. Prayers and hugs from Michigan🙏🩷 Have a blessed week!

    Your yard looks so beautiful Stephanie! I love the courtyard idea, very cozy. It's expands your whole living space. Also having these projects and being in nature is so therapeutic. Good for the soul. Love the flag too. And your parents are the best! Thanks for sharing. ❤

    Stephanie I was so sorry to hear about Timmy😔 such a sweet soul with a heart for God and a lovely voice that blessed us every time he sang.. I immediately told my husband about it and he knew exactly who I was talking about because I tell him about you and Timmy all the time..I started praying for you immediately..I’m so thankful you’re continuing your videos .. Timmy will continue to bless us through you.. As always you did a beautiful job on the Tribute video to Timmy.. Please don’t give up on your “Get Healthier” journey.. Take care of yourself.. you know Timmy would want you to and you’re doing a great job!
    Thank you for the hard work you do and for allowing us to be a part of your journey.
    God Bless You,
    Your city friend with a country heart.. Belinda ❤

    Everything is so so beautiful. It’s such a therapeutic thing for you to do. I always say, I’m going to my happy place when I plant my flowers and do my flower beds. 🌸. My husband passed away last year and enjoyed watching me plant. I bet Timmy would love what your doing too.
