    I don't think there is anything I can say that will take away your pain and loss, except that the children you have are so blessed to be in your life. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

    Jenn, in 1992 my sister and children were in a accident. My niece was injured very badly and passed away almost 1 yr later. She 3 and half years old when she passed.There is no time period for grief. She would be 34 yrs old. I am looking forward to seeing her again one day. Anyway, Ethan is forever safe and your family is in my prayers.

    Unschooling my children was the best thing I ever did for them, for me, for my family. They are not just learning they are imprinting emotional intelligence for future generations. I’ve been watching Molly. She would make a wonderful diplomat or advocate. If you want something done she is your go to girl. Next flight pay her to be in charge of the luggage; you’ll never have another problem. With children remember that normal is a myth but we have to cooperate with the family schedule so put the attention on what is working and those who are participating and ignore the behavior you don’t want. Works like a charm. ❤️🌸 I lost a son too. There are no words. He is with me in spirit and I feel his presence often. ❤️ I enjoy all your videos so much.

    Cannot let go of the child you lost. That will never, ever be expected of you as a mother or Daddy Kyle or Molly, Ben or Eli. Never for one second let go of your boy. He is not lost because he is with all of you in individual ways. Then as you join together to remember your piles of love atop all your memories. Just remember keep all those memories and all that love together. It brings strength, passion and more than just love for your boy lost but also the memories you each share through the years.❤❤❤

    There's no time limit on grief... Esp sudden loss and child loss, and everybody processes it in their own way. I applaud you & Kyle for knowing and accepting that this day could make you each "FEEL" whatever way you need to and respecting that it may not be the same way, is an understanding way to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you All.
    Molly did such an awesome job with the banana loaves. How thoughtful she is to not only make a couple for the friends you had there, but to also think about whether they may have allergies or not, that's a beautiful thing. She obviously is a kind, thoughtful soul.
    Homeschooling is a Wonderful choice, in my opinion. Adjust where you need to. I think that's GOOD parenting! Y'all have a beautiful, blessed weekend!! ♥️

And now I'm 60 and am into chopping up tiny cubes of spam into it . I've even seen some get the bags of mixed veggies and add them . But me I'm a meat eater so i add meat .

    I don't think any parents will ever forget or get over losing a child even in your 60s and 80s. You will always be sad to think of your son. but just remember the first 7 yts of his life, and now he's an angel, and he's always looking over you.
    in honor of your son, maybe you should call it Ethan's Ranch. I know it's not a ranch. Whatever name you pick will be an amazing name. Just remember, God , you remember what i told you, ask for Archangel Michael to help you be strong during the month of September and every day and when you are traveling. I have a question. Have you been back to Disneyland with ur other kids since the car accident?

      Love you so big!!! I always appreciate your words of love and encouragement!! I did ask and it got better, I really am so glad you told me!!
      The kids have so much empathy for others now because they have empathy for me. I allow them to see my struggle because I want them to see me not give up 🫶
