Hi Guys, I just wanted to leave a comment pinned on this video because I've just changed the title of it, Not for any other reason than... when I saw the original title of it after I posted it, it just didn't sit right with me and with how I want to move forward with everything that's going on. Especially after ready so many of your guys messages of support from people who have been through similar situations and kind of get me when I say I've just gotta get my sh*t together and get on with the harsh reality that is life.. so I just want the video title to reflect that. I've had enough of life kicking me down and it's time to get sh*t done
Dont forget that everyone is different. Just run your life how you wanne do it. Clean your shit when you feel like it. And if you don't want to do anything just do whatever makes you happy I wish you the best
My dad was also diagnosed with prostate cancer a while back, it was such heavy news to hear… but here we are 15 years later and he is cancer free! Stay positive and keep doing what you do! It’s your turn to be his person! Sending love.
You're such a strong characterful individual! Carrying the torch for your community is not the main priority right now, but you carry it better than any Olympian. It's truly an honour for all of us to share this time with you, but please feel that you can take the time to do you Tom. Best wishes to you and your family.
The vlogs where you just talk from the top of your head with no script are actually the best, talking from the heart. Your an inspiration to so many like your dad is to you.
lost my dad to cancer in july last year. your dad is a strong individual who is going to kick the shit out of cancer. i know its cliche but keep your head up tom you have gotten me through many of my darkest days and i feel its only right that your community get you through yours. Never met you but it feels like you're a family member since you've been a big part of my life for 11 years! keep being you
It's okay NOT to be okay. Grief is not linear, it is a roller-coaster. Feel those feelings. They're always temporary anyway. I hate when people say, "BE STRONG." because it makes us think we can't be human and feel our real feelings. Take breaks; create healthy boundaries; don't be afraid to say NO sometimes. Sometimes we PUSH ourselves to put a smile on. But the ache won't go anywhere until we fully process it. Sending love and healing to you!
Couldn't agree more with this comment. Feeling our emotions it's what makes us human, it's makes us more compassion about others around us. It's okay not to be okay. As you said grief is a process that's not linear, with it not only comes sadness but all other kinds of feeling, such anger, despair, denial, guilt. Toxic positivity it's something real.
You are very brave to talk about your Dad in public, I bottled it up when my mum was diagnosed and it is not the way. Glad you are able to talk about it no matter how hard it is.
It's been hard to do so but impossible to not do so... I keep bumping into so many people who ask if im doing alright and sadly the answer is no because what's been going on with my Dad which they didnt know about. So i really kinda had to get it off my chest which wasnt really that easy to do.
Don’t rush into anything mate, take your time to heal yourself and get yourself back 100% we are all here in this ride with you mate, you are a strong individual ❤️
This happened to me from the age of 16, it's been brutal. Death after death of family and friends. People just don't understand unless they've been there themselves.
Tom, you don't need to apologize for being sad you are a human not a machine besides we are all with you and some things my Dad told me was "Never say goodbye, always say we will meet again" and "We are not Altas, we cannot bear burdens alone our loved ones will always help you bear it." All the best.
Lost my dad 12 months ago to Prostate cancer. Thought we'd caught it in time but turned out time was not on our side. Dad went from being great to not here in 6 months. But like you said, it's treatable if they get it early enough. Your dad is a fighter, an inspiration. All I'll say is make the memories, be by his side when he needs it and support him. Life's to short... make the most of it!
Hi Tom,heartfelt this really was. Don’t ever apologise to be sad,it’s better to have it out then bottle it up. I lost my dad to oesophagus cancer in 2015 and my mum to cancer also in 2018. You have to cherish the best times in life with him and keep that strong will if seizing the moment that your dads drummed into you the best you can. Words are easier than actions,and of course it’s easier said than done. But the things you are doing to cope are baby steps. Think how proud he’s be if you for fighting each day like he has too. He will get through this,he will keep Pedalling and your going to pedal all the way home with him. He’s got this,you’ve got this!!! I really relate To you in this Tom. But everyone of us is so very proud of what your doing to become a replica of strength the same as your dad. Bless you brother! Stay strong,ash ❤❤🤞👊
Hey Tom. Lovely to have you back on our screens again. My Dad had quite serious Prostate Cancer a few years back, and made a full recovery. The treatment they have for it these days is mind-blowing and the success rate is very high with it. All the best pal
Bro the strength you’re showing is unmatched. I cannot understand what you’re going through but putting things into perspective and letting your fans know is a blessing and I really hope Ken is doing good and smashes this hurdle. Tom you’re extremely strong willed and to keep this positivity is a trait not many people can handle in these types of situations. Praying for Ken and I hope you’re ok my friend. Keep your head up and if you keep this mindset, you will overcome anything! Much love to you and your family Tom.
As a long-time viewer and someone who is extremely close with his father, this hit home for me. Stay strong Tom, and lean on your loved ones for support
I carried my great grandpas casket he and my grandma passed within the same week of one another. I get it!!! much love brother just take it a day at a time. Also my dad had prostate cancer as well , the only reason we found it was because he got laid off from work. Your dad will be okay its very treatable !!
I know what you’re going through Tom as my dad had pancreatic cancer two years ago and is now being treated for liver cancer in the past week so wish your amazing dad Ken a good recovery and hopefully treatment will get it and catch it early
Stay strong Tom, I lost my grandma to bone cancer in August, and it truly does feel like life even 6 months later keeps punching down, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and we will reach it soon. You got this!
Tom... please take this from a 43 year old having been through a lot of death in the family. Don't try and be happy and just allow your self to hurt and be sad as you have every right to be hurting hard with all you are going through at the moment! In fact the best thing you can do is let your body feel all the emotion. Think of it has you are a sponge and the pain is water you're holding in the sponge... all that water has to come out so you can ring the sponge fast of slow, but just know it all has to come out for you to feel better. Sit and cry your heart out when you feel you need too. We know you like to be happy and postive but please Tom its ok to hurt and be in pain. It's all ok in time. Take care mate.
I just found you again after years, I watched the Minecraft project and COD videos when I was a kid im an adult with a job and a house now and I just want you to know you’ve brought a lot of joy to people over the years
It's funny I was just thinking this about myself. Except no house yet. Regardless, Enjoyed watching you syndicate. You kinda fell off in popularity, but I still enjoy your content here and there. Much love
Best advice I ever got when sh1t was going bad, Focus on today, don’t dwell on yesterday and fear tomorrow. Reflect on how YOU feel and what makes you happy 👍🏻 take care mate
Hey Tom, I just want to say that you being sad and down in these tough times doesn’t make you less strong, you are stronger than you think you are, it’s ok to take time and lock yourself away in a room for a bit, take time for yourself to grieve and process things, I know keeping busy helps to keep your mind off of things for a while but it will just store up inside you and will make you feel worse after, we all love you here and are here for you always, sending big hugs to you and your family at this time ❤
"How do you expect anything come to good of life if your just locked in a room" - Well i feel that i needed to hear that today myself. Keep on with the little wins Tom, keep inspiring. Hope Ken can get on the mend soon too and your all back tearing up the countryside on the bikes!
Literally going through a similar situation here in Dublin. We lost my GF’s grandad at the start of the year and her mother is now going through chemo to beat breast cancer. Some days were unbearable, it is really tough. But I know from watching your videos for so long, there is no better man to get through these tough times. You’ve inspired me so many times over the years and made me feel better when I’m down. Thank you for being you and keep on keeping on, we are all here for you and there will be brighter days!
Thank you for sharing Tom. Your not alone. you made me cry and you also have given me strength. I'm 27 years old and struggling with anxiety and what i feel like early signs of depression. I can know say, i'm not alone. Little wins is all i need just like you said. All the best to you tom and your family. Thank you, Thank you, thank you for sharing your kind heart.
Tom, during these times you find a new level of love and strength that it’s eye opening. Going through bad times makes us better, because we learn to appreciate things a lot more than we did before. Take your time and do what you need. We will be here for you
A rule to live by is one “would you look at that” a day I don’t normally comment but man I love the honesty and rawness. He’s a legend and you’re a legend. Much love
Thanks for the update Tom, this community has your back and we're holding your hand throughout the highs and lows! My dad got diagnosed with cancer with the same thing. And the word cancer scared the hell out of us all! But dad's cancer free, so I know for a fact your dad will 100% beat it aswell! Stay strong Tom! Hope it's a lovely service for Gordon too! ❤️❤️
I’ve been watching you for years man. Your a special person and always brought a smile to my face and even a laugh when I needed it the most. Keep your head up and take one step at a time because I promise you from experience things will get better Tom I promise ❤ Praying for you and your family🙏🏼
Tom its okay to be sad. Life has a wicked sense of humor and sometimes the little wins is what helps get your mind straight. Keep positive and spend the most amount of time with your dad, family and friends. Keep getting shit done. Keep making the most of it.
Love you Tom , I wish I could give you a hug but I am praying for you now and always at the highs and lows. You’ve always been here for us now we are here for you! ❤
Keep your chin up lad, things like this are touchy and are tough and it's okay to cry. Don't let anyone say any different. You have an army of people behind you. And I hope your dad is doing well. I'm sorry for your loss too. Big man to man hug my friend 👌🏻
much love and tons of respect for you, and as an oncology nurse, as weird as it sounds prostate cancer is very treatable and has very decent long-term acceptance for medication and treatment, so with his mindset he will defo crush this
All the love and positive vibes on repeat to you Tom. You don’t know me or my history but you’ve been a part of my life since I was 13 (I’m now 22) so weirdly enough I care for you as would any other of my family. Good to hear you’re still ploughing through this rough patch and know all of us syndication are here for you and love you❤️
They arent losses... They are just changes, that are going to happen no matter how much we win... Death and sickness sucks brother, but its something none of us can beat.. Ya, its hard, I remember when I lost my dad, 11 years ago. But I also realize as I get older (i'm 51 now) more people I love are going to leave this world. All I have left is my mom, and it terrifies me to think of her passing. But when she does, it'll be my turn and I have to concentrate on making sure my children are good, and well adjusted humans, that I will leave for this world. Prayers for ya man, prayers for ya.
The best honour I had was carrying my grandpa coffin he held me when I was younger and carried him on his final journey. Man like Ken’s got this he’ll be on his bike winning the race before you know it helping you do the new house up xx
Tom mate, You are one of like 5 youtubers who have gotten me through hard times. With the news of gordon and now ken. You were there for i think all of us. We are here for you. ❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂
Best of luck to your Dad, Tom. Been watching you on RUclips for over 10 years and you've always brought smiles to my face. I know a bit of what you're going through, I had the news broken to me the other day that my grandfather has terminal cancer and has only a few weeks left. As you say, "Life's too short, make the most of it!". Chin up fella
Been here since the very early days of the syndicate project. I grew up with you and watched you grow Tom, take you’re time to heal. We are here for you like you were here for us-we love you Tom
It's always better to get these things off your chest than bottle them up Tom. We're always here for you to let it out, never ever feel bad for it. Stay strong brother, things will get better, we love you.
It’s okay to not be okay, sometimes brother. You are heard and you are not alone. Take time, we will always have you and your families back. You’re a strong man and so is your father. Hug those close ❤
I've said it on one of your videos before, I'll fuckin say it again. It takes strength to talk about this stuff, but it takes a MAN to cry in front of millions. We're all here for you, and always will be. We love you Tom.
I feel you bro. My old man is unwell too, going through a similar thing, he had a procedure done last week and we’re all crossing our fingers for the test results. It hits you like a tonne of bricks when this sort of stuff happens and it makes you reevaluate certain things in life! I recently lost my cousin and my grandad, my dads dad! You need to vent and feel sad mate that’s normal and healthy! Good luck to you and your family, and respect to yourself. Danny ❤
Man I feel for you, watching you from being a small teenager and now being a 25 year old man, growing up sucks and I relate to you so much especially in recent months, we as fans are always here for you, you and your family are strong as anything and they can be seen throughout your vlogs, love you man, ps if you even come to Bournemouth again will happily take you too the best places in town for a bite to eat. Much love Tom wish you and your family the best and sorry again for your loss ❤ give your Dad a hug from me
So sorry to hear about your day but hopefully they caught it in time and he makes a full recovery. My dad had prostate cancer and they have a number of ways to treat it and now he’s doing 100%. Prayers for your father.
Don’t rush into anything mate take your time be yourself and be happy coz every time I’m having a bad day I’ll watch your videos and puts a smile on me face coz life is hard u need to live life to the fullest mate 👍🏼❤️
I think i can speak for the majority of your subs and comunity by saying: we love you , you've been here for all of us for all these years and us being supportive and consurned for your mental health ,that being here for you is the only thing and best thing we could do... we all love you and we have to thank you for the LEGEND that you are. Lots of love and a HUGE hug to you ❤❤
No need to stress hun, you can’t rush pain and hurt. You can’t have joy without pain. I am also having a rough start to 2023 as my bf of almost 3 years ended things with me. I am heart broken and I’m I will be ok. Chin up hun you got this.❤❤
We all know Ken is a strong man. He will beat this, and you'll be by his side the entire way. And in turn we'll be right there with you for support Tom. We love you all so much! Take your time, we fully respect that you need it right now.
Been watching you since I was like 17 or so, we're about the same age so I've always had a fondness and a sense of "friendship" towards you. I'm truly sorry about this rats nest of bullshit you're going through Tom. Much love brother
I carried my grandads coffin and with me being pretty much the shortest it meant my shoulder was killliiinnggg me the next day! Always gives me a giggle looking back, my short arse taking all the weight, i also kept stepping on my uncles heels infront. It always gives me a giggle looking back.. I say this because at the time my head was in such a different place, the sadness felt unbelievable, but in time you look back and see through the fog and see the little gems that make it an experience that you will be glad to be apart of. Youre going through the wars man, but you WILL see through the fog in time ♥️ We honestly love you all, the whole family. Most importantly keep yourself safe, tom
You're truly a legend pal, I'm truly truly hoping your dad will get better soon 🙏 I'm praying for him. Please keep being as strong as you've been. YOU are also a Rolemodel. An exemplary human, just like your dad 🙏
Wish I could just give you a hug. The last year's been a whirlwind for me too with losing two members of my family within a couple weeks of each other and I can say, without a doubt, that you're absolutely right that you need to keep moving forward and in the words of a wise man "Get your shit together."! Things will get better for you, just give it time.
Hi Tom, I completely understand my dad had prostate cancer while I was sitting my exams. It’s shit, I hope your dad is alright and gets it sorted. Thinking of you and your family x
Going through some shit too but nothing like you're going through, so to hear your positivity, despite everything you're going through, really helps. Much love.
I completely understand that life can be crappy. A few years ago my husband lost his biological father on Easter, then 3 months later we lost his grandpa to cancer. Plus same time around his father's funeral my grandfather passed due to self-infliction. Later that year we got into a car wreck where we almost died. That year was the worst year that I have ever had to deal with. I am so grateful for all of the support from friends and family to keep us up and moving forward. Sending love to you and your family
Those small wins turn into big things tom. I'll admit the pain never truly stops I lost my uncle 2 years ago who was like a father to me and even now I still burst into tears sometimes thinking about him. But the pain dulls with the happy memories and you've got more than enough of them I'm sure and you have a wonderful family and friends around you. And us crazy lot too lol. Just take it like you say 1 step at a time then you can run again.
I was in your position last year Tom! My father in law had prostate cancer and it took a huge toll on my family. But because we managed to catch it early on, we did all the possible treatment and just before Christmas, we got the news that he is now cancer-free! Keep your head up and we gotchu!
For us christians, moments like these are the ones that make you grow. God never promised problems would stop, he only promised to be with us every step of the way. No one knows why God does things the way he does but the fact is that its for the good of us despite us thinking the opposite (Jeremiah 29:11).
5 months later he finally got round to cleaning that garage 🤣 but for real, from watching your latest vlogs you're a new man! can't wait for the next chapter brother 💙
Much love to you buddy! In the last 5 years, i lost not only my mom and dad - but lost my twin brother too. i know how hard it is to deal with loss. But you have so much support - that's what I'm envious of. I sadly don't have that support. But stay strong buddy!
Tom you will never fathom how much I related to your words here and how much I needed them. Thank you so much brother, keep on truckin and getting shit done and ima damn sure do the same! ❤
Tom, I walked with both my nan and grandad's coffin. It solidafied my feeling and helped me get over losing them. They sorted out the order of who stood where so it was balanced. Being shorter shouldn't stop you. You will regret it. I know because my brother didn't and still regrets it 5 yrs later.
Tom, I know you may think that just because you're a idol for so bmany people (including me) I just want to say that I have been in your position but being the one positive person at work with a whole lot of shit going on behind the scenes. Having to keep everything to together even though we'd think its not..... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! You Have to remember sometimes it's okay for us to cry and be upset. It keeps us down to earth and in some cases grounds us from the world around. If I saw you now I'd give you a hug and tell you we are all behind you no matter what because we are and thats what you need right now! Much love. We are always right here and always will be
Tom, the hardest of times creates the strongest of people. You will all get through it, sadness is part of the process but regardless of the mood of the video you will always have the support of your family/friends and your RUclips family. We are here with you through it all!! We love you Tom!
You are allowed to be sad. You will be ok it's normal to feel overwhelmed. Yes prostate cancer very curable slow growing but ok to be scared mainly because you feel no control over it . Just support him. It's awful to see our parents in pain and we feel helpless.Hugs to you. My husband lost his dad his older brother and a younger brother within 12 months. He acts like a touch guy felt guilty feeling down. He didn't probably grieve so things kept popping up for 5 years went through a drinking period because he didnt deal with it hes ok now.
Just wanted to say one step at a time. We here are ALL BEHIND YOU! We all care & we all have been there or we all will be in your shoes one day, that is life. But man, it stinks. But learn from the bad times what is good & go to the next. YOU’VE GOT THIS TOM!!
Damn Tom, you really are getting dealt a shit hand. My heart breaks for you. Cancer is the biggest C**t of all but if anyone can fight it, it's got to be Ken. Like you said Tom, you've got to take the little wins. Positives from each day. You've just had some awful things happen in your life and it's knocked you. Take the wins and start building yourself back up. You'll get to where you need to be and stronger for it. Sending love and faith to you all 🫶🫶🫶

Preach brother preach, I still owe the mad lad a steak 😈
Exactly man! Got to let yourself breakdown before you can start to build yourself back up ❤️ Stay strong Tom ! x
This happened to me from the age of 16, it's been brutal. Death after death of family and friends. People just don't understand unless they've been there themselves.
@@svenkamog2232 I feel you homie, my grandfather was my best friend, until he lost his battle with lung cancer when I was 9 😒
Love you so much man
Tom, you don't need to apologize for being sad you are a human not a machine besides we are all with you and some things my Dad told me was "Never say goodbye, always say we will meet again" and "We are not Altas, we cannot bear burdens alone our loved ones will always help you bear it." All the best.
EMBRACE the sadness.
Sadness is healthy, be in touch with your emotions
it's okay not to be okay. You've got this, love to the family

Hey Tom, I just want to say that you being sad and down in these tough times doesn’t make you less strong, you are stronger than you think you are, it’s ok to take time and lock yourself away in a room for a bit, take time for yourself to grieve and process things, I know keeping busy helps to keep your mind off of things for a while but it will just store up inside you and will make you feel worse after, we all love you here and are here for you always, sending big hugs to you and your family at this time ❤
"How do you expect anything come to good of life if your just locked in a room" - Well i feel that i needed to hear that today myself. Keep on with the little wins Tom, keep inspiring. Hope Ken can get on the mend soon too and your all back tearing up the countryside on the bikes!
Literally going through a similar situation here in Dublin. We lost my GF’s grandad at the start of the year and her mother is now going through chemo to beat breast cancer. Some days were unbearable, it is really tough. But I know from watching your videos for so long, there is no better man to get through these tough times. You’ve inspired me so many times over the years and made me feel better when I’m down. Thank you for being you and keep on keeping on, we are all here for you and there will be brighter days!
Thank you for sharing Tom. Your not alone. you made me cry and you also have given me strength. I'm 27 years old and struggling with anxiety and what i feel like early signs of depression. I can know say, i'm not alone. Little wins is all i need just like you said. All the best to you tom and your family. Thank you, Thank you, thank you for sharing your kind heart.
Tom, during these times you find a new level of love and strength that it’s eye opening. Going through bad times makes us better, because we learn to appreciate things a lot more than we did before. Take your time and do what you need. We will be here for you
A rule to live by is one “would you look at that” a day
I don’t normally comment but man I love the honesty and rawness. He’s a legend and you’re a legend. Much love
Thanks for the update Tom, this community has your back and we're holding your hand throughout the highs and lows!
My dad got diagnosed with cancer with the same thing. And the word cancer scared the hell out of us all! But dad's cancer free, so I know for a fact your dad will 100% beat it aswell! Stay strong Tom! Hope it's a lovely service for Gordon too! ❤️❤️
Your role model was so successful that he made you into a role model for all of us. Sending positive vibes
I’ve been watching you for years man. Your a special person and always brought a smile to my face and even a laugh when I needed it the most. Keep your head up and take one step at a time because I promise you from experience things will get better Tom I promise ❤ Praying for you and your family🙏🏼
Sad Tom, happy Tom - either way we're going to love the hell out of you anyway ❤
Youre going through a very rough period of your life. Take your time and we will always be here for you, in good and bad times.
Tom its okay to be sad. Life has a wicked sense of humor and sometimes the little wins is what helps get your mind straight. Keep positive and spend the most amount of time with your dad, family and friends. Keep getting shit done. Keep making the most of it.
You helped all of us heal at some point tom, we are all here to help you at this time. Take care, we love you
Love you Tom , I wish I could give you a hug but I am praying for you now and always at the highs and lows. You’ve always been here for us now we are here for you! ❤
Keep your chin up lad, things like this are touchy and are tough and it's okay to cry. Don't let anyone say any different. You have an army of people behind you. And I hope your dad is doing well. I'm sorry for your loss too. Big man to man hug my friend 👌🏻
much love and tons of respect for you,
and as an oncology nurse, as weird as it sounds prostate cancer is very treatable and has very decent long-term acceptance for medication and treatment, so with his mindset he will defo crush this
Bro I hear ya man..........I lost my mom last June from lung cancer and this video really helped me man!!! Get those wins!!!!!!! 😣😣😣 We got this!!!
Ken is an absolute tank. He can't wait to get up everyday, and just look at that view!
We'll be hanging tight 😁
When it rains it pours my friend, stay strong 💪🏼 life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain
All the love and positive vibes on repeat to you Tom. You don’t know me or my history but you’ve been a part of my life since I was 13 (I’m now 22) so weirdly enough I care for you as would any other of my family. Good to hear you’re still ploughing through this rough patch and know all of us syndication are here for you and love you❤️
They arent losses... They are just changes, that are going to happen no matter how much we win... Death and sickness sucks brother, but its something none of us can beat.. Ya, its hard, I remember when I lost my dad, 11 years ago. But I also realize as I get older (i'm 51 now) more people I love are going to leave this world. All I have left is my mom, and it terrifies me to think of her passing. But when she does, it'll be my turn and I have to concentrate on making sure my children are good, and well adjusted humans, that I will leave for this world. Prayers for ya man, prayers for ya.
The best honour I had was carrying my grandpa coffin he held me when I was younger and carried him on his final journey.
Man like Ken’s got this he’ll be on his bike winning the race before you know it helping you do the new house up xx
Stay strong Tom your a G for being so open with your emotions, respect man chin up keep pushing through you got this 💪🏻
Tom mate,
You are one of like 5 youtubers who have gotten me through hard times.
With the news of gordon and now ken.
You were there for i think all of us.
We are here for you.
❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂
Not to sound too parasocial. We love you Tom. Everything will be okay in the end. Dont worry about us. Love to the family aswell ❤
Best of luck to your Dad, Tom. Been watching you on RUclips for over 10 years and you've always brought smiles to my face. I know a bit of what you're going through, I had the news broken to me the other day that my grandfather has terminal cancer and has only a few weeks left. As you say, "Life's too short, make the most of it!". Chin up fella
We are all with you Tom if you need time off everything just take your time mate
Been here since the very early days of the syndicate project. I grew up with you and watched you grow Tom, take you’re time to heal. We are here for you like you were here for us-we love you Tom
It's always better to get these things off your chest than bottle them up Tom. We're always here for you to let it out, never ever feel bad for it. Stay strong brother, things will get better, we love you.
“It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”
It’s okay to not be okay, sometimes brother. You are heard and you are not alone. Take time, we will always have you and your families back. You’re a strong man and so is your father. Hug those close ❤
I've said it on one of your videos before, I'll fuckin say it again. It takes strength to talk about this stuff, but it takes a MAN to cry in front of millions. We're all here for you, and always will be. We love you Tom.
I feel you bro. My old man is unwell too, going through a similar thing, he had a procedure done last week and we’re all crossing our fingers for the test results. It hits you like a tonne of bricks when this sort of stuff happens and it makes you reevaluate certain things in life! I recently lost my cousin and my grandad, my dads dad! You need to vent and feel sad mate that’s normal and healthy! Good luck to you and your family, and respect to yourself. Danny ❤
Man I feel for you, watching you from being a small teenager and now being a 25 year old man, growing up sucks and I relate to you so much especially in recent months, we as fans are always here for you, you and your family are strong as anything and they can be seen throughout your vlogs, love you man, ps if you even come to Bournemouth again will happily take you too the best places in town for a bite to eat. Much love Tom wish you and your family the best and sorry again for your loss ❤ give your Dad a hug from me
the one saying that got me through my worst times is "its ok to not be ok"
So sorry to hear about your day but hopefully they caught it in time and he makes a full recovery. My dad had prostate cancer and they have a number of ways to treat it and now he’s doing 100%. Prayers for your father.
Don’t rush into anything mate take your time be yourself and be happy coz every time I’m having a bad day I’ll watch your videos and puts a smile on me face coz life is hard u need to live life to the fullest mate 👍🏼❤️
every second of this video I wanted to just give you a big ol' hug. I hope things start looking up soon. We love you tom
I think i can speak for the majority of your subs and comunity by saying: we love you , you've been here for all of us for all these years and us being supportive and consurned for your mental health ,that being here for you is the only thing and best thing we could do... we all love you and we have to thank you for the LEGEND that you are. Lots of love and a HUGE hug to you ❤❤
No need to stress hun, you can’t rush pain and hurt. You can’t have joy without pain. I am also having a rough start to 2023 as my bf of almost 3 years ended things with me. I am heart broken and I’m I will be ok. Chin up hun you got this.❤❤
We all know Ken is a strong man. He will beat this, and you'll be by his side the entire way. And in turn we'll be right there with you for support Tom. We love you all so much! Take your time, we fully respect that you need it right now.
Raw and honest, the world needs more people sharing like this
Thank you Tom. ❤
A wise man once said “Tough time never last, only tough people last”
Been watching you since I was like 17 or so, we're about the same age so I've always had a fondness and a sense of "friendship" towards you. I'm truly sorry about this rats nest of bullshit you're going through Tom. Much love brother
I carried my grandads coffin and with me being pretty much the shortest it meant my shoulder was killliiinnggg me the next day! Always gives me a giggle looking back, my short arse taking all the weight, i also kept stepping on my uncles heels infront. It always gives me a giggle looking back.. I say this because at the time my head was in such a different place, the sadness felt unbelievable, but in time you look back and see through the fog and see the little gems that make it an experience that you will be glad to be apart of.
Youre going through the wars man, but you WILL see through the fog in time ♥️
We honestly love you all, the whole family. Most importantly keep yourself safe, tom
You're truly a legend pal, I'm truly truly hoping your dad will get better soon 🙏 I'm praying for him. Please keep being as strong as you've been. YOU are also a Rolemodel. An exemplary human, just like your dad 🙏
Hey brother we are here for you and you blogs help make some days better so focus on you one love brother and may god look over your family
Wish I could just give you a hug. The last year's been a whirlwind for me too with losing two members of my family within a couple weeks of each other and I can say, without a doubt, that you're absolutely right that you need to keep moving forward and in the words of a wise man "Get your shit together."! Things will get better for you, just give it time.
Hi Tom, I completely understand my dad had prostate cancer while I was sitting my exams. It’s shit, I hope your dad is alright and gets it sorted. Thinking of you and your family x
Going through some shit too but nothing like you're going through, so to hear your positivity, despite everything you're going through, really helps. Much love.
I completely understand that life can be crappy. A few years ago my husband lost his biological father on Easter, then 3 months later we lost his grandpa to cancer. Plus same time around his father's funeral my grandfather passed due to self-infliction. Later that year we got into a car wreck where we almost died. That year was the worst year that I have ever had to deal with. I am so grateful for all of the support from friends and family to keep us up and moving forward. Sending love to you and your family
Best wishes Tom. You're a beautiful human being. Thank you. For everything.
We love you Tom. You have been apart of my life longer than a lot of people. Stay strong! We will always be with you brother
Those small wins turn into big things tom. I'll admit the pain never truly stops I lost my uncle 2 years ago who was like a father to me and even now I still burst into tears sometimes thinking about him. But the pain dulls with the happy memories and you've got more than enough of them I'm sure and you have a wonderful family and friends around you. And us crazy lot too lol. Just take it like you say 1 step at a time then you can run again.
I was in your position last year Tom! My father in law had prostate cancer and it took a huge toll on my family. But because we managed to catch it early on, we did all the possible treatment and just before Christmas, we got the news that he is now cancer-free! Keep your head up and we gotchu!
For us christians, moments like these are the ones that make you grow. God never promised problems would stop, he only promised to be with us every step of the way. No one knows why God does things the way he does but the fact is that its for the good of us despite us thinking the opposite (Jeremiah 29:11).
5 months later he finally got round to cleaning that garage 🤣
but for real, from watching your latest vlogs you're a new man!
can't wait for the next chapter brother 💙
Wishing you all the best Tom. We know you're struggling right now (I'm not saying you're not) but please remember to look after yourself 🤗
Much love to you buddy! In the last 5 years, i lost not only my mom and dad - but lost my twin brother too. i know how hard it is to deal with loss. But you have so much support - that's what I'm envious of. I sadly don't have that support. But stay strong buddy!
ken is a fighter mate and a credit to you all,Keep your head up buddy and take 1 day at a time
Tom you will never fathom how much I related to your words here and how much I needed them. Thank you so much brother, keep on truckin and getting shit done and ima damn sure do the same! ❤
It’s truly ok not to be ok.
Stay strong king your doing amazing and your taking this like an absolute trooper keep being strong all your fans are behind you
LIfe is kicking his ass and he's just kicking right back tom we all support you and we are all here for you
Tom, I walked with both my nan and grandad's coffin. It solidafied my feeling and helped me get over losing them. They sorted out the order of who stood where so it was balanced. Being shorter shouldn't stop you. You will regret it. I know because my brother didn't and still regrets it 5 yrs later.
Tom, I know you may think that just because you're a idol for so bmany people (including me) I just want to say that I have been in your position but being the one positive person at work with a whole lot of shit going on behind the scenes. Having to keep everything to together even though we'd think its not..... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! You
Have to remember sometimes it's okay for us to cry and be upset. It keeps us down to earth and in some cases grounds us from the world around. If I saw you now I'd give you a hug and tell you we are all behind you no matter what because we are and thats what you need right now! Much love. We are always right here and always will be
Tom, the hardest of times creates the strongest of people. You will all get through it, sadness is part of the process but regardless of the mood of the video you will always have the support of your family/friends and your RUclips family. We are here with you through it all!! We love you Tom!
Don’t rush into it Tom, we’re all here for you & we’re not going anywhere.. take it easy ❤
Your a strong guy Tom. I have the utmost respect for you
You are allowed to be sad. You will be ok it's normal to feel overwhelmed. Yes prostate cancer very curable slow growing but ok to be scared mainly because you feel no control over it . Just support him. It's awful to see our parents in pain and we feel helpless.Hugs to you. My husband lost his dad his older brother and a younger brother within 12 months. He acts like a touch guy felt guilty feeling down. He didn't probably grieve so things kept popping up for 5 years went through a drinking period because he didnt deal with it hes ok now.
Just wanted to say one step at a time. We here are ALL BEHIND YOU! We all care & we all have been there or we all will be in your shoes one day, that is life. But man, it stinks. But learn from the bad times what is good & go to the next. YOU’VE GOT THIS TOM!!
Damn Tom, you really are getting dealt a shit hand. My heart breaks for you. Cancer is the biggest C**t of all but if anyone can fight it, it's got to be Ken.
Like you said Tom, you've got to take the little wins. Positives from each day. You've just had some awful things happen in your life and it's knocked you. Take the wins and start building yourself back up. You'll get to where you need to be and stronger for it.
Sending love and faith to you all 🫶🫶🫶
Love you man. You inspired me to put myself out there. Little wins add up!
A great man once said - it can’t rain all the time.
