Thanks, Daniel, for the story. Never apologize for breaking down. We are all human and understand. You're a good man and care a lot. God bless you and your family ❤️
I saw dad today and he told me about your visit. He loved it. Daniel, dad tells me that story about every 3 months. He misses Phil so much. Phil called dad every day around 6 o’clock for 10 years. Dad finally had the house land line removed about 5 years ago. He told me he was glad when it was gone. He looked at that phone everyday after he died wishing it would ring. ❤️
Your a very blessed man. My first wife passed away at 40 years old from cancer. You never know when you'll be called home now at 74 and two heart attacks, I look around and say i wish I could have done this or that. I could have but didn't, your brilliant in listening to the lord and being with your family and enjoying them. I have lots of grandkids and I'm really trying to spend time with them now while I can. God bless you sir I hope younger people take heed in your message
I have terminal cancer and I’m 59. Your doing the right thing! Your family will never say I wish Dad wasn’t here for us! You wife is a lucky women! Your an awesome man and father!
You will never regret putting your time with your family FIRST. I love the way you appreciate those times and how you all work together to get things done on your place. You have a jewel of a partner too.
Thank you for sharing that. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer 2 years ago. He is doing well but made me look at things so differently. For the first time after 35 years of marriage we went on a family vacation. Right before we were to leave my daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Both are well thank you Lord. We need to do what you said and have no regrets. We need to go for our dreams. Thank you again Daniel. God bless
Thanks, Daniel, for this video. It took me a while to be able to watch it because I knew it would tug at my heart, and it did. Thanks for being emotional and thanks for choosing your family over a job that could have made your dreams go away. You and the family are in my prayers and yeah, visit your uncle a little more often and maybe go fishing with him. You're not your dad but you are family. Keep up the good work and know that God's love shines through you every day.
ahhh.. tears to a man is a good sign of his heart towards Father God.. who truly knows your heart an directed your path to the place of your dreams with Him an your family.. well done daniel to hearing His voice.. the still small voice of your creator.. God truly has blessed all of you in Jesus name.. hugs of His love .. xx
Bless you Daniel. I have been watching your channel for a few months now and came across these videos from a few years back and am enjoying watching them. You have a Beautiful family and seem to have a beautiful life, thank you for sharing!
I don't know if you will even read this comment but I want to tell you , thank you. I have followed you for a long time and watched most of your posts but this is by far my favorite. You talked from your heart and it was uninterrupted. You are a special man and your family is especially blessed by you. Thanks for being you. God Bless you sweet brother.
Thank you for sharing your dad's story. It mirrors my dad's story. He was an avid fisherman and he farmed all his life. He was forced into early retirement from his job as a carpenter due to cancer. In 1992, at the age of 53, he took his last fishing trip to Michigan in August, and died November 16. You made me cry, but it is a great memory of a great man.
I know this is an old video but I needed to hear it. I lost my husband of 40 6 months after his 62 birthday this year. I have been mad at him at times. We were so close to being able to do what we wanted when we wanted. Now my daughter and her family will enjoy the acreage we bought to retire to.
Daniel,never apologize for feeling emotional. Thank you for sharing the story of your Dad and Uncle, very touching. Cabinets look great too. Maybe we will be lucky to see your Uncle someday on a video 💙
Daniel, thank you for this heart to heart talk. Life is short and you realize it more as you get older. I am glad you have more time to spend with your family. You are building memories with Houston as your Dad did with you.
What a beautiful story about your dad and Uncle. I think you made the right decision to leave your job as a trooper and spend more time with your family. What an amazing blessing you have been given. Thank you for sharing! ❤️🙏
Daniel you are a GREAT Father and Husband and we LOVE tuning into all your VIDEOS - you inspired us with your beautiful story about your Uncle and your Dad and the fact you are pursuing your dream is a wonderful thing! A lot of us do have to "wait" before we can pursue ours, so listening to you, being a part of your projects, watching you fish and go to the creek with Houston, the way you take care of your wife and family, and tending the farm and the animals is so refreshing. Thank you for all you do! Thank you for following your hear! My God Bless you and your wonderful family....until the next video......
I feel in my heart you never have to apologize for being human. Your heart has all those feeling for your loved ones. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.
Herald Ensley, long time ago fisherman spoke at my highschool graduation and it was beautiful. My dad was a fisherman. But Herald Ensley's quote was "GONE FISHING INSTEAD OF JUST A WISHIN"
Well Daniel, I'm crying for you. I lost my father early. He was only 59. I am currently 66. He never got to retire. Cancer took him way too soon. Anyway, I love your heart. Your family, and your vlogs are so incredibly easy to enjoy! Just keep being you! And thank you for allowing us all into your life. Love and prayers from Indiana, Rossi J
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was very close to my Dad as well. Unfortunately while I was in Vietnam in 1969, he died from a heart attack at the young age of 46. I never got the chance say goodbye or go fishing with him again. I was only 22, that was 50 years ago and not a single day goes by that I don't think of and miss him terribly. God Bless you and your family!!
I tell all younger people to do their dreams NOW. Do not wait for retirement because you don’t know what yiur situation will be. I planned on hiking the entire Appalachian Trail. Now I’m lucky to do a small trail at a state park. I did a lot but still had a lot I wanted to do. DO IT NOW!!!!
I lost my dad when I was 5 an im 27 now. Its has been one of the hardest things I've ever been through. But I believe everything happens for a reason. Make sure you go spend more time with your uncle before its to late.. stay strong and think of all the good times you got to spend with your dad. Much love. Have a good day
Your dad sounds like an amazing man - same as you are to your kids. I can't wait to go on so many fishing adventures with my little 2 year old boy - love him to bits!
Lol LOVE you wife... 😂😂😂 The dog put the hole in the window LOL. I just listen to the ending of your video very touching, you’re very lucky that you have people to talk to you about your dad. And yeah you did make the right decision to enjoy your life instead of putting your life in danger going to work every day with your job. That’s awesome that you could spend every day with your family and do things together. It is hard to make your dad rest in peace. I haven’t had my dad since I was nine years old so I know how hard it is. I’m glad to watch your videos I wish I was able to live on a farm and do all you do LOL but that’s physically impossible LOL thanks for sharing your family with us bless you all
I lost my dad in 2004 to kidney cancer. And now I'm alone because God called the love of my life home at young age of 52 suddenly of wegners autoimmune.I ve shared before but life is short so cherish every day Daniel and arms family...may God bless.remember real men cry and love God
Ugh!! I just gotta say, my 8 year old son found your UA-cam a while back. You and your family have become such a part of our lives almost instantly. He chose your family to follow, he looks forward to your videos, love watching Houston fish( I think he wants to be like him😄) but my WHOLE family really enjoys y'all. Sending you so much love from my family to yours!
Thank you so much for telling us your personal story at the end of this video. I'm in tears 😭 I'm inspired by your lucid take back from your father and your close uncle/friends experience. Thank you for honoring the man your father left behind & thank you for looking after him 🤗💕💓💕🦄
i'm just joking you all are the best i love you 😊😊😊😊😊 tell Houston I Said hi and Emily to i have animals as well i know how Houston feels about the goat s gettin tagged
I was especially touched by your story about your Dad. I am caring for my 63 year old husband who is dying of cancer. We have been fortunate enough to have purchased a small home in southern Florida to winter in and all our dreams have been changed because of this cancer journey we are now on. I understand your uncle's anger.
Your Dad is so proud of the man you are I am sure! Congrats on going after what you love & I know your kids are happy to have you there all the time! GOD Bless You and your family!
Hugs n love. My husband died at 58, shortly after our 23rd anniversary, in 2008. My Dad died in 1982 at 75, from cancer, my Mom in 2007, in her 100th year from old age. Her younger brother, my Uncle Karl, just died at 102 this week. Miss them all. Take care, you are in my prayers.
I cried when you told the story of your Dad and Uncle. .I myself is not a spring chicken either. I look for every day to spent time with my youngest Grandson. He loves his Grandma so much. We play and enjoy each day. Thank you Daniel for your story.
You are a great storyteller. I cried harder than you did while listening to you. I lost my dad from cancer in 1988. I recently ran across the video of our last Christmas with him. He died 4 months later. He was 74 years old. You remind me of him because I could, and did, sit and listen to him tell stories from when he played for the Cubs and other teams. I never got tired of hearing him talk. I know this video is older but I watch all of your posts. Please keep up the great work. I am so glad that you are able to do what you are doing.
I lost my Dad and I felt my heart was broken in half that was our relationship. But I can cry with you and remember the good times, laughter, serious conversations, etc. Talk as much with your uncle as you can and you will learn do much from him. God Bless you.
Hahahaha! ❤️🤣 Dutch I won’t get Daniel to see this I doubt....But I love that wood heater in his house. Do you know where he got it, that one can buy one like it ? Definitely the Nicest looking wood burning Stove I’ve ever saw!!!! 👍❤️ ✝️
Maybe because I’m a girl, I’m crying like a baby... brought back memories of my daddy and his passing. I was 15 days away from my 15th birthday... last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer of the rarest kind... I was terrified... on 9/11/2020 my daughter turned 15. I just knew I wasn’t gonna make it to her birthday and I prayed and prayed for it not to be this way for her... three weeks after her 15th birthday I was blessed with the best gift ever, that I was cancer free. I started watching these videos shortly after chemo started, and my husband and I want to homestead. This has given me so much to hope for and new dreams to achieve. These families, Arms, and Dutch and his family, and that awesome little guy Jack, (I love watching the kids, they give me hope for a better tomorrow in America) you all gave me a little spark to keep my fires burning... on days I would pray for God to take it all away because it was just too much, no strength to even hold my iPad or iPhone so I would sling it onto the tv and hold the remote... you just don’t even know how close to home this came to me. I don’t want to turn this into being about me, I just want to say thank you...
So sorry for your family's loss of your dad, even if it was years ago. Yes, life is too short for many people. I came to the same realization after watching people I knew die young. I saved and bought my small home on the water as soon as I could afford to--because I love kayaking, boating and even just watching the fish in the water. I bought an affordable home--below many peoples' standards so I have time to spend doing the things I LOVE and time to use my gifts. God bless you and your family.
I love watching your videos and listening to you speak and inspire people to follow their dreams. I cried like a baby listening to your story about your Dad and your uncle as I too lost my Dad 8 years ago at the age of 80. No need to apologize for getting emotional as that is all part of the healing process. I have learned a lot from you and hope to put a lot of it to use in the next few years after we buy our own little homestead. Keep up the great work!!
Don't apologize for expressing your emotions...even in tears. I'm older than you and I wished I expressed my true emotions to my family and friends. Don't live with that regret.
This is probably one of my favorite videos it is so heartfelt it made me cry. You have to visit your uncle more often hear more stories keep up the good work on your videos take care
Big changes, like leaving a career or selling a house and moving during a pandemic are scary, but big picture in the long run - made us happy. Thanks for being real and sharing your story! Love ya man.
God bless you and your wonderful family. I love watching all your videos. It warns my heart to see a young man like you enjoying your life and your family each and every day.
Daniel, you don’t realize how much you bless people with the heart too hearts you have. I enjoy every video you post cause every time I take something from that video and apply it to some aspect in my life. Thank you and I hope god continues to bless you and your family.
I'm crying right along with you Daniel!!! There were soooo many things my dad wanted to do with my mom when he retired. He passed away of lung cancer 6 months after he retired and now my mom is on hospice, dying from COVID-19. I visited her today. She still knows who I am but it won't be long before shes with my dad. I so wish they could have lived out their dreamms!!! Do what you want to do and can do now because tomorrow is not promised!!! BIG HUGS!!! 🤗💓🤗💓🤗💓
Prayers for you and your family ... my sister and her husband are hospitalized right now :( I dislike this virus very much ... at least they are letting you see her !!
@@rachelbrekken8488 we had to bring her home from the hospital and got hospice set up or they were just going to let her die alone in that hospital! Today was the first time I've seen her since March. She didn't even look like my mom anymore....😭😭😭😭😭
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! I retired (early) and after raising three children …lived in the city🤦🏽♀️ I always wanted to farm🥲 So I farmed where I lived and turned my garden into a COMMUNITY GARDEN where fresh vegetables weren’t always available. It was so fulfilling! And a TEACHABLE MOMENT for city kids and seniors,it is AWSOME to see small gardens throughout my neighborhood. Now I in a new home and years older and still gardening …in container bags and could not be Happier. Enjoy your family😌
Now you made me cry! So happy you did this for your family. I'm on my journey now at 62 and alone, but I finally found some land up in Missouri that I'm driving 12 hours up from Texas to go look at tomorrow. It's going to be very hard to start by myself with raw timbered land and build it into the homestead God put on my heart 10 years ago, but he is with me and I am so blessed! We are not guaranteed tomorrow so don't put off til tomorrow what is on your heart today! May not get to actually live there for another year but I'll get a good start by spring and see how the Lord moves it along. Your message today was a confirmation for me Daniel. Be blessed brother!
What a heartbreaking beautiful story Daniel. God did put you on the right path. I also lost my father in his sixties. I was his advocate when he was dying in the hospital for five weeks. It was the best thing I have ever done. My father died with me telling him how much I loved him. This was a gift. Cherish those wonderful stories from your uncle. Not liking the black cabinets is no big deal. You have a terrific wife you adore, who has her own sense of color. It may not be my taste, but they are not my cabinets. Bless you both and the rest of your family.
Thanks alot Daniel! I'm at work! ......."Got something in my eyes fellas I'll be ok in a moment." Your family is wonderful and we love your videos. God bless you all!
Never apologize Daniel for showing us your “raw” side. No regrets for this life, EVER!! That Simple Green detergent is great for everything. It even kills wasps on a lighter note. Take care and God Bless!
Very inspiring for me. You just solidified what I want to do. My gift. Thank you! Very sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. You will rock this brother. Keep the vibes high and the prayers flowing. ☮️
Well Dee Jay has a very good eye for decorating I really like the cabinets and sink, and don't ever apologize for being human thank you for sharing that story and remember when you and houston cast out so is he God 🙏 Bless
i lost my dad early he was only 50 and i miss him every single day and daniel no need to apologize for crying i am 59 and i cry a lot when thinking of my dad need to take ya uncle fishing in ya place thanks for sharing ya family with us and GOD BLESS
I'm not sure how I came across your video today, but I'm so glad I did. I sat crying with you, taking to heart what you shared. Thank you, and may God bless you and your family on your journey.
I shed a tear for all the children who lost the father's young. My children were 9, 15 and 19 when there dad was taken home. Daniel you are a great dad to your children. The memories you have given them are worth more as they get older. Give your children the connection to your father through your uncle. Let him tell them the memories he has. Those stories are precious.
Daniel, The title of this video suggests you cried because DJ painted the cabinets black, but it was a more serious matter. It's ok to shed a tear and share it with us. I lost my father in 2008 and my mother in 2013. I have been living in the house I grew up in for ten years. Living here always reminds me of my childhood. I remember going way out west in Miami Florida for target shooting (cans) when I was about 10 to 12 years old. Of course I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, but I will never forget it. 🤗 My father got us into motorcycles when I was 14. Lots of memories as you have for you're father. Hang in there Daniel, hopefully without regrets as life goes on.
I'm in tears right now. You're living your dream and I'm so hapoy for you and your family. Yes, spend time with this uncle, make those memories. Wonderful story ❤
I found your channel several months ago. I lost my dad in 1979. I was 14, I still miss him, but, fond memories are there. I'm sure that your dad would be proud of you and all three of your kids. He's watching over all of you and loving it! You and your wife are wonderful people. Love watching you and the kids grow together. God bless you all.
Oh Daniel , I’m so glad you retired when you did . I’m sorry about your dad , thx for sharing this story with us , God bless you . I tried to get my husband to retire early but he wouldn’t he waited till he was 70. I am older than him I feel he wasted the years we could have shared with each other. And I can’t get them back !! Thx for listening to our story . Love and prayers for you and your family . ☹️
Maybe consider Dusty, Cross Timbers Bison -keep it in the family!!!! And don’t forget Buffalo Hippy!!!!! And DeJay’s Mom’s original store!!! I’m sure we would ALL buy from the family businesses!!!!!
I just now watched this and I want you to know that the black is awsome!!! Good job Mrs. Arms! When I build my cabin I put black cabinets in my kitchen along with black table and chairs and hutch cabinet and I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! So, don't worry about it. Tell your hubby that it will grow on him! On the other hand, Daniel, you have a heart of gold! I am sorry about your dad. There will come a time when you will see him again and maybe even go fishing with him! With your faith in God and His promise of everlasting life, you can be certain that we will see all our loved ones again. I am looking forward to that time myself!
This video touched me deeply. I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad. I just lost my Daddy in June and just about lost my husband May 1 in a terrible car accident. This year has been hard for everyone. It's just now been hitting me. I've been thinking a lot about things I regret and it's hard, I totally understand what you are saying. I keep trying to remember God has a plan and it's greater than I can imagine. Thank you for sharing your heart, you help a lot of people in the process. May God continue to bless your family and keep following your dreams. Go fishing with your uncle while you still can!
Loved the raw emotions, this is my first time to ever listen to you. The black cabinets caught my attention. I painted mine black too. I never regretted it. I painted the kitchen a sea milk glass color. I have lost my mother, husband and my daughter all in a 4 year period. My tears still flow too. Thank you for being real. Grace from Va.
My dad passed away in 1985. He was 68 years old, the same age that I am now. I was 30 when he passed. It’s ok to cry about your dad and the memories. I cried for years after my dad passed until I realized that he wasn’t coming back. My dad loved life and he wouldn’t want me to cry over his death. Although I still shed a tear every now and then when a memory pops into my head, his memories are the very things that help me not to cry. They are happy memories. Don’t get me wrong, I really miss my dad and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He was my friend, my buddy, and my dad. Your dad sounds like a man that I would get along well with and the way you describe him makes me sad that I never got to meet him.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Don't ever apologize for being real. My husband has been disabled since 2011. I wouldn't give up a single minute of time with him. We struggle at times, but we have a love and passion for Christ. And God keeps us going. We have almost lost him 2x since we married in 1999. I know God works miracles bc we have seen them. Thank you for sharing your faith, family and farm with us. Very thankful for your channel.
My husband sat by me at the casino to see if l was ready to go. I was talking to him and he didnt answer. Looked over. Looked like he was taking a nap. No pulse. Got him on the ground, did cpr. Got him back. The security gaurd got him on the chair and bam he went down again. Got him back. Gods good.
I lost my dad to cancer when he was in his late 40's, I feel your pain bubba. Losing my hero sure does cut deep, and is still tender too. I do a lot of soul searching, making sure to create joyful moments and memories with my family. The blessing in it for me is that it has really taught me to slow down and enjoy the moments with those I love. May GOD blanket yall in his love, mercy, and grace.
Tears are falling like rain down my face!! I lost my dad in 2008 to sepsis and my husband in 2009 to bad heart. Enjoy your family and take the time to make great memories. And get your uncle and spend time with him. Love you and your family.
We’re glad your off the streets and home with your family that’s number one! You’re on the right path walking in his will. Thank you for sharing your heart!
I understand where you were coming from, both my parents passed from cancer in their early 70's. In my heart, I know you are doing the right thing for yourself and your family!!
You guys are getting stuff done all over the farm, together. Your uncle went through what many husband's or wives go through when they lose their spouse. I feel for him in his loss. It's still heavy in his heart. Thank you for sharing this story and pushing people to listen to what God puts in their hearts.
No need to apologize for ur tears it shows you have a very genuine heart may God bless you and your family an give you strength to get through your tough moments. I love listening to you talk about things and your family & videos
Thanks for the story I say with tears in my eyes, I am 72 and it still hurts today from the loss of my parents.Allways keep it real and make sure that you love your family above anything other than our maker !!
Thanks, Daniel, for the story. Never apologize for breaking down. We are all human and understand. You're a good man and care a lot. God bless you and your family ❤️
I saw dad today and he told me about your visit. He loved it. Daniel, dad tells me that story about every 3 months. He misses Phil so much. Phil called dad every day around 6 o’clock for 10 years. Dad finally had the house land line removed about 5 years ago. He told me he was glad when it was gone. He looked at that phone everyday after he died wishing it would ring. ❤️
Your a very blessed man. My first wife passed away at 40 years old from cancer. You never know when you'll be called home now at 74 and two heart attacks, I look around and say i wish I could have done this or that. I could have but didn't, your brilliant in listening to the lord and being with your family and enjoying them. I have lots of grandkids and I'm really trying to spend time with them now while I can. God bless you sir I hope younger people take heed in your message
I have terminal cancer and I’m 59. Your doing the right thing! Your family will never say I wish Dad wasn’t here for us! You wife is a lucky women! Your an awesome man and father!
Thank you for sharing, my dad has been gone 19 years. Miss him everyday
You will never regret putting your time with your family FIRST. I love the way you appreciate those times and how you all work together to get things done on your place. You have a jewel of a partner too.
Thank you for sharing that. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer 2 years ago. He is doing well but made me look at things so differently. For the first time after 35 years of marriage we went on a family vacation. Right before we were to leave my daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Both are well thank you Lord. We need to do what you said and have no regrets. We need to go for our dreams. Thank you again Daniel. God bless

Daniel, thank you for this heart to heart talk. Life is short and you realize it more as you get older. I am glad you have more time to spend with your family. You are building memories with Houston as your Dad did with you.
What a beautiful story about your dad and Uncle. I think you made the right decision to leave your job as a trooper and spend more time with your family. What an amazing blessing you have been given. Thank you for sharing! ❤️🙏
Daniel you are a GREAT Father and Husband and we LOVE tuning into all your VIDEOS - you inspired us with your beautiful story about your Uncle and your Dad and the fact you are pursuing your dream is a wonderful thing! A lot of us do have to "wait" before we can pursue ours, so listening to you, being a part of your projects, watching you fish and go to the creek with Houston, the way you take care of your wife and family, and tending the farm and the animals is so refreshing. Thank you for all you do! Thank you for following your hear! My God Bless you and your wonderful family....until the next video......
Loved this heartfelt video. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless 💕
Nobody knows how long they have. You made the right decision...family over career. You're awesome! Congrats on your blessed life and family.
I feel in my heart you never have to apologize for being human. Your heart has all those feeling for your loved ones. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.
Herald Ensley, long time ago fisherman spoke at my highschool graduation and it was beautiful. My dad was a fisherman. But Herald Ensley's quote was
"GONE FISHING INSTEAD OF JUST A WISHIN"
You need to get Houston to go fishing with your Uncle before he’s gone
That will give him a contact memory with his grandpa 🙏🏼❤️
Well Daniel, I'm crying for you. I lost my father early. He was only 59. I am currently 66. He never got to retire. Cancer took him way too soon. Anyway, I love your heart. Your family, and your vlogs are so incredibly easy to enjoy! Just keep being you! And thank you for allowing us all into your life. Love and prayers from Indiana, Rossi J
My husband died at 58, shortly after our 23 anniversary.
Daniel, put the plastic over your Kubota, too!! May I ask, why black?!?!?!?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was very close to my Dad as well. Unfortunately while I was in Vietnam in 1969, he died from a heart attack at the young age of 46. I never got the chance say goodbye or go fishing with him again. I was only 22, that was 50 years ago and not a single day goes by that I don't think of and miss him terribly. God Bless you and your family!!
I tell all younger people to do their dreams NOW. Do not wait for retirement because you don’t know what yiur situation will be. I planned on hiking the entire Appalachian Trail. Now I’m lucky to do a small trail at a state park. I did a lot but still had a lot I wanted to do. DO IT NOW!!!!
I knew you were gonna make me cry! Lost my dad on Dec 20, 1999, still miss him every day... your dad would be so proud of you and your awesome family!
I lost my dad when I was 5 an im 27 now. Its has been one of the hardest things I've ever been through. But I believe everything happens for a reason. Make sure you go spend more time with your uncle before its to late.. stay strong and think of all the good times you got to spend with your dad. Much love. Have a good day
I lost my dad when I was 10.. I was a daddy's little girl!!
@@judybowman5060 sorry to hear that.
Your dad sounds like an amazing man - same as you are to your kids. I can't wait to go on so many fishing adventures with my little 2 year old boy - love him to bits!
Lol LOVE you wife... 😂😂😂 The dog put the hole in the window LOL. I just listen to the ending of your video very touching, you’re very lucky that you have people to talk to you about your dad. And yeah you did make the right decision to enjoy your life instead of putting your life in danger going to work every day with your job. That’s awesome that you could spend every day with your family and do things together. It is hard to make your dad rest in peace. I haven’t had my dad since I was nine years old so I know how hard it is. I’m glad to watch your videos I wish I was able to live on a farm and do all you do LOL but that’s physically impossible LOL thanks for sharing your family with us bless you all
Wow... that was a real emotional story. Thank you 💗 for sharing. Don't ever be ashamed to cry. It proved that you're human. God bless you Daniel.
"That's all I got", That's enough!!!! Crying like a baby hoping no one comes in the door at work. Love what you do and thanks for sharing!

Blessings from France
Sorry for your loss
So sorry for your losses Candice. You're in my prayers!
The black cabinets look great also love the REAL stories
Ugh!! I just gotta say, my 8 year old son found your UA-cam a while back. You and your family have become such a part of our lives almost instantly. He chose your family to follow, he looks forward to your videos, love watching Houston fish( I think he wants to be like him😄) but my WHOLE family really enjoys y'all. Sending you so much love from my family to yours!
I appreciate you Daniel.
I retired early because my Grandfather's and my Dad died within the first 6 months of retiring.
I miss fishing with them.
Lost my husband when he was 65 of cancer .Then I decided to retire when I turn 60.
God bless you.
Thank you so much for telling us your personal story at the end of this video. I'm in tears 😭 I'm inspired by your lucid take back from your father and your close uncle/friends experience. Thank you for honoring the man your father left behind & thank you for looking after him 🤗💕💓💕🦄
Daniel you are a big baby😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 loser im a hater
i'm just joking you all are the best i love you 😊😊😊😊😊 tell Houston I Said hi and Emily to i have animals as well i know how Houston feels about the goat s gettin tagged
@@janagrogan7501 what a sad, sick joke!
I was especially touched by your story about your Dad. I am caring for my 63 year old husband who is dying of cancer. We have been fortunate enough to have purchased a small home in southern Florida to winter in and all our dreams have been changed because of this cancer journey we are now on. I understand your uncle's anger.
Prayers for you and your hubby.
Your Dad is so proud of the man you are I am sure! Congrats on going after what you love & I know your kids are happy to have you there all the time! GOD Bless You and your family!
Don't be sorry. I'm almost 70 and I still cry when talking about my parents. It is a gift that we still care that much.
Im 63 and miss my father more now than ever. Cherishing the memories
I miss my Dad too. Take care. Take your Uncle fishing.
I lost my husband to stomach cancer 2 years before we retired, it's never easy saying goodbye... Stay blessed, because family 👪 is everything...🙏
Hugs n love. My husband died at 58, shortly after our 23rd anniversary, in 2008. My Dad died in 1982 at 75, from cancer, my Mom in 2007, in her 100th year from old age. Her younger brother, my Uncle Karl, just died at 102 this week. Miss them all. Take care, you are in my prayers.
I cried when you told the story of your Dad and Uncle. .I myself is not a spring chicken either. I look for every day to spent time with my youngest Grandson. He loves his Grandma so much. We play and enjoy each day. Thank you Daniel for your story.
You are a great storyteller. I cried harder than you did while listening to you. I lost my dad from cancer in 1988. I recently ran across the video of our last Christmas with him. He died 4 months later. He was 74 years old. You remind me of him because I could, and did, sit and listen to him tell stories from when he played for the Cubs and other teams. I never got tired of hearing him talk. I know this video is older but I watch all of your posts. Please keep up the great work. I am so glad that you are able to do what you are doing.
I lost my Dad and I felt my heart was broken in half that was our relationship. But I can cry with you and remember the good times, laughter, serious conversations, etc. Talk as much with your uncle as you can and you will learn do much from him. God Bless you.
Danget I got something in my eye now and it keeps watering up 🥺 thanks for always keeping it REAL brother.
That makes two if us!!!! Heart wrenching story but yet amazing!
Hahahaha! ❤️🤣 Dutch I won’t get Daniel to see this I doubt....But I love that wood heater in his house. Do you know where he got it, that one can buy one like it ?
Definitely the Nicest looking wood burning Stove I’ve ever saw!!!!
👍❤️ ✝️
Me too Dutch.
Maybe because I’m a girl, I’m crying like a baby... brought back memories of my daddy and his passing. I was 15 days away from my 15th birthday... last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer of the rarest kind... I was terrified... on 9/11/2020 my daughter turned 15. I just knew I wasn’t gonna make it to her birthday and I prayed and prayed for it not to be this way for her... three weeks after her 15th birthday I was blessed with the best gift ever, that I was cancer free.
I started watching these videos shortly after chemo started, and my husband and I want to homestead. This has given me so much to hope for and new dreams to achieve. These families, Arms, and Dutch and his family, and that awesome little guy Jack, (I love watching the kids, they give me hope for a better tomorrow in America) you all gave me a little spark to keep my fires burning... on days I would pray for God to take it all away because it was just too much, no strength to even hold my iPad or iPhone so I would sling it onto the tv and hold the remote... you just don’t even know how close to home this came to me. I don’t want to turn this into being about me, I just want to say thank you...
@@CCRider5312 I’m pretty sure its original to the cabin his father built they added onto.
Wonderful words of wisdom. Take you Uncle fishing he'd love that. Blessing to you and your family!
So sorry for your family's loss of your dad, even if it was years ago. Yes, life is too short for many people. I came to the same realization after watching people I knew die young. I saved and bought my small home on the water as soon as I could afford to--because I love kayaking, boating and even just watching the fish in the water. I bought an affordable home--below many peoples' standards so I have time to spend doing the things I LOVE and time to use my gifts. God bless you and your family.
I love watching your videos and listening to you speak and inspire people to follow their dreams. I cried like a baby listening to your story about your Dad and your uncle as I too lost my Dad 8 years ago at the age of 80. No need to apologize for getting emotional as that is all part of the healing process. I have learned a lot from you and hope to put a lot of it to use in the next few years after we buy our own little homestead. Keep up the great work!!
Don't apologize for expressing your emotions...even in tears. I'm older than you and I wished I expressed my true emotions to my family and friends. Don't live with that regret.
Daniel, please don't ever apologize for showing emotions, and having love in your heart. These are characteristics of a real man.
This is probably one of my favorite videos it is so heartfelt it made me cry. You have to visit your uncle more often hear more stories keep up the good work on your videos take care
I'm a 74 yo lady and I need to find my gift because I have to keep working to live!! Thanks for the nudge!!
Big changes, like leaving a career or selling a house and moving during a pandemic are scary, but big picture in the long run - made us happy. Thanks for being real and sharing your story! Love ya man.
God bless you and your wonderful family. I love watching all your videos. It warns my heart to see a young man like you enjoying your life and your family each and every day.
Daniel, you don’t realize how much you bless people with the heart too hearts you have. I enjoy every video you post cause every time I take something from that video and apply it to some aspect in my life. Thank you and I hope god continues to bless you and your family.
I'm crying right along with you Daniel!!! There were soooo many things my dad wanted to do with my mom when he retired. He passed away of lung cancer 6 months after he retired and now my mom is on hospice, dying from COVID-19. I visited her today. She still knows who I am but it won't be long before shes with my dad. I so wish they could have lived out their dreamms!!! Do what you want to do and can do now because tomorrow is not promised!!! BIG HUGS!!! 🤗💓🤗💓🤗💓
@ Jennifer Thacker hugs and prayers to you and your family.
@@florencekirk9021 thank you so much!!! This has been a horrible week for all of us...
Blessings God will take care of you
Prayers for you and your family ... my sister and her husband are hospitalized right now :( I dislike this virus very much ... at least they are letting you see her !!
@@rachelbrekken8488 we had to bring her home from the hospital and got hospice set up or they were just going to let her die alone in that hospital! Today was the first time I've seen her since March. She didn't even look like my mom anymore....😭😭😭😭😭
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! I retired (early) and after raising three children …lived in the city🤦🏽♀️ I always wanted to farm🥲 So I farmed where I lived and turned my garden into a COMMUNITY GARDEN where fresh vegetables weren’t always available. It was so fulfilling! And a TEACHABLE MOMENT for city kids and seniors,it is AWSOME to see small gardens throughout my neighborhood. Now I in a new home and years older and still gardening …in container bags and could not be Happier. Enjoy your family😌
Now you made me cry! So happy you did this for your family. I'm on my journey now at 62 and alone, but I finally found some land up in Missouri that I'm driving 12 hours up from Texas to go look at tomorrow. It's going to be very hard to start by myself with raw timbered land and build it into the homestead God put on my heart 10 years ago, but he is with me and I am so blessed! We are not guaranteed tomorrow so don't put off til tomorrow what is on your heart today! May not get to actually live there for another year but I'll get a good start by spring and see how the Lord moves it along. Your message today was a confirmation for me Daniel. Be blessed brother!
What a heartbreaking beautiful story Daniel. God did put you on the right path. I also lost my father in his sixties. I was his advocate when he was dying in the hospital for five weeks. It was the best thing I have ever done. My father died with me telling him how much I loved him. This was a gift. Cherish those wonderful stories from your uncle. Not liking the black cabinets is no big deal. You have a terrific wife you adore, who has her own sense of color. It may not be my taste, but they are not my cabinets. Bless you both and the rest of your family.
Thanks alot Daniel! I'm at work! ......."Got something in my eyes fellas I'll be ok in a moment." Your family is wonderful and we love your videos. God bless you all!
Never apologize Daniel for showing us your “raw” side. No regrets for this life, EVER!! That Simple Green detergent is great for everything. It even kills wasps on a lighter note. Take care and God Bless!
Very inspiring for me. You just solidified what I want to do. My gift. Thank you! Very sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. You will rock this brother. Keep the vibes high and the prayers flowing. ☮️
Never ever be sorry for showing your emotions. It shows you are human and how loving you are with your family!
Daniel, I love you and your family and your show. Bless your heart for being real and taking us on your journey with you. ♥️
Well Dee Jay has a very good eye for decorating I really like the cabinets and sink, and don't ever apologize for being human thank you for sharing that story and remember when you and houston cast out so is he God 🙏 Bless
i lost my dad early he was only 50 and i miss him every single day and daniel no need to apologize for crying i am 59 and i cry a lot when thinking of my dad need to take ya uncle fishing in ya place thanks for sharing ya family with us and GOD BLESS
I'm not sure how I came across your video today, but I'm so glad I did. I sat crying with you, taking to heart what you shared. Thank you, and may God bless you and your family on your journey.
I really love the fact that you stood your ground and painted the cabinets black, it really lite up the kitchen.
I shed a tear for all the children who lost the father's young. My children were 9, 15 and 19 when there dad was taken home.
Daniel you are a great dad to your children. The memories you have given them are worth more as they get older. Give your children the connection to your father through your uncle. Let him tell them the memories he has. Those stories are precious.
Daniel, The title of this video suggests you cried because DJ painted the cabinets black, but it was a more serious matter. It's ok to shed a tear and share it with us. I lost my father in 2008 and my mother in 2013. I have been living in the house I grew up in for ten years. Living here always reminds me of my childhood. I remember going way out west in Miami Florida for target shooting (cans) when I was about 10 to 12 years old. Of course I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, but I will never forget it. 🤗 My father got us into motorcycles when I was 14. Lots of memories as you have for you're father. Hang in there Daniel, hopefully without regrets as life goes on.
I'm in tears right now. You're living your dream and I'm so hapoy for you and your family. Yes, spend time with this uncle, make those memories. Wonderful story ❤
I found your channel several months ago. I lost my dad in 1979. I was 14, I still miss him, but, fond memories are there. I'm sure that your dad would be proud of you and all three of your kids. He's watching over all of you and loving it! You and your wife are wonderful people. Love watching you and the kids grow together. God bless you all.
Thank you for being human. Thank you for teaching your children how to live in the real world. much love, many hugs
Thank you for sharing that story of your Uncle's. I cried my eyes out.
When you got emotional I felt it was genuine. I teared up with you. Love your channel for that very reason. Stay safe.
Oh Daniel , I’m so glad you retired when you did . I’m sorry about your dad , thx for sharing this story with us , God bless you . I tried to get my husband to retire early but he wouldn’t he waited till he was 70. I am older than him I feel he wasted the years we could have shared with each other. And I can’t get them back !! Thx for listening to our story . Love and prayers for you and your family . ☹️
Maybe consider Dusty, Cross Timbers Bison -keep it in the family!!!!
And don’t forget Buffalo Hippy!!!!! And DeJay’s Mom’s original store!!!
I’m sure we would ALL buy from the family businesses!!!!!
I just now watched this and I want you to know that the black is awsome!!! Good job Mrs. Arms! When I build my cabin I put black cabinets in my kitchen along with black table and chairs and hutch cabinet and I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! So, don't worry about it. Tell your hubby that it will grow on him! On the other hand, Daniel, you have a heart of gold! I am sorry about your dad. There will come a time when you will see him again and maybe even go fishing with him! With your faith in God and His promise of everlasting life, you can be certain that we will see all our loved ones again. I am looking forward to that time myself!
This video touched me deeply. I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad. I just lost my Daddy in June and just about lost my husband May 1 in a terrible car accident. This year has been hard for everyone. It's just now been hitting me. I've been thinking a lot about things I regret and it's hard, I totally understand what you are saying. I keep trying to remember God has a plan and it's greater than I can imagine. Thank you for sharing your heart, you help a lot of people in the process. May God continue to bless your family and keep following your dreams. Go fishing with your uncle while you still can!
Loved the raw emotions, this is my first time to ever listen to you. The black cabinets caught my attention. I painted mine black too. I never regretted it. I painted the kitchen a sea milk glass color. I have lost my mother, husband and my daughter all in a 4 year period. My tears still flow too. Thank you for being real. Grace from Va.
Great WORDS of wisdom! Life is short and time flies but love of life is precious.
My dad passed away in 1985. He was 68 years old, the same age that I am now. I was 30 when he passed. It’s ok to cry about your dad and the memories. I cried for years after my dad passed until I realized that he wasn’t coming back. My dad loved life and he wouldn’t want me to cry over his death. Although I still shed a tear every now and then when a memory pops into my head, his memories are the very things that help me not to cry. They are happy memories. Don’t get me wrong, I really miss my dad and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He was my friend, my buddy, and my dad. Your dad sounds like a man that I would get along well with and the way you describe him makes me sad that I never got to meet him.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Daniel, you are a good man of faith, you are a blessing for so many! Be blessed!
Don't ever apologize for being real. My husband has been disabled since 2011. I wouldn't give up a single minute of time with him. We struggle at times, but we have a love and passion for Christ. And God keeps us going. We have almost lost him 2x since we married in 1999. I know God works miracles bc we have seen them. Thank you for sharing your faith, family and farm with us. Very thankful for your channel.
My husband sat by me at the casino to see if l was ready to go. I was talking to him and he didnt answer. Looked over. Looked like he was taking a nap. No pulse. Got him on the ground, did cpr. Got him back. The security gaurd got him on the chair and bam he went down again. Got him back. Gods good.
I lost my dad to cancer when he was in his late 40's, I feel your pain bubba. Losing my hero sure does cut deep, and is still tender too. I do a lot of soul searching, making sure to create joyful moments and memories with my family. The blessing in it for me is that it has really taught me to slow down and enjoy the moments with those I love. May GOD blanket yall in his love, mercy, and grace.
You are awesome I learn something from your talks every time I mean real stuff as you say. May God continue to Bless you and your family.
Tears are falling like rain down my face!! I lost my dad in 2008 to sepsis and my husband in 2009 to bad heart. Enjoy your family and take the time to make great memories. And get your uncle and spend time with him. Love you and your family.
We’re glad your off the streets and home with your family that’s number one! You’re on the right path walking in his will. Thank you for sharing your heart!
Thanks for being real!! I’m convinced you’ve touched a heart or two today with what you said about your dad and uncle! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍😢
Bless your heart precious memories. But we have the joy of knowing one day we will see them again. Thank you for sharing your story.
I enjoy watching your posts Daniel. Thank you always for sharing the experiences of you and your family brother. I feel ya
Don't apologize for tears. Stay real--we love you for that. Bless you & your family always.
I understand where you were coming from, both my parents passed from cancer in their early 70's. In my heart, I know you are doing the right thing for yourself and your family!!
Yes real men do cry, thank you for sharing Daniel
I liked smelling the coffee when my parents would percolate it. Have a good day. You made me cry. God bless.
You guys are getting stuff done all over the farm, together. Your uncle went through what many husband's or wives go through when they lose their spouse. I feel for him in his loss. It's still heavy in his heart. Thank you for sharing this story and pushing people to listen to what God puts in their hearts.
No need to apologize for ur tears it shows you have a very genuine heart may God bless you and your family an give you strength to get through your tough moments. I love listening to you talk about things and your family & videos
Thanks for the story I say with tears in my eyes, I am 72 and it still hurts today from the loss of my parents.Allways keep it real and make sure that you love your family above anything other than our maker !!
