yes so very true having lost my beloved daughter aged 13 (and then the loss of the gorgeous dog carrying her name at just aged 4 is soul destroying.... grief overwhelmes me at times and it feels like it smothers me with utter sadness but occationally it lets me come up for air....but the truth is.....utterly devastating (life changing) loss will now always walk beside me...😥💔
My once in a life time, Sadie-the-Dog, got kidney disease and we nursed her, cooking for her, vet visits and regular IV hydrations, for nearly a year. When she passed, I was destroyed. I didn't work for a month. I got a phone call that I had not paid a bill and although shocked that I had forgotten, I told the person calling that we had a death in our family and apologized. The person was so sympathetic. When I hung up, I realized what I had said and did not feel even one bit guilty. She passed 28 years ago. I get weepy to this day over her and hope there really is a heaven so that I will someday see her again.. She was/is the love-dog of my life. I loved all my dogs after her, but there will never be another Sadie-the-Dog. Grief for such an innocent being is so understandable.
Mine was named Zeke. He's been gone 10 years, and I still miss him every single day. I never really got over his loss, although I've been blessed with great dogs since his death.
it's nice to have a home to go to with a mom waiting to see you. I miss my mom like I was a little kid. Cherish time with yours because when they are gone, life is never again the same.
So glad you're home. The farmers who helped with your tire were awesome! Your filming and editing is crazy, great angles! I hope your heart is healing, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh no Blue!😢 I’m so sorry Maria. I haven’t watched the channel in a while. So sorry to hear that Blue passed. But you both have so many amazing memories together and most of them are on your channel! Gone but not forgotten ❤
Chester( my fur son) and I are sending love and healing vibes. I am so grateful for little mama keeping you company... I feel sure Blue told her to take care of mom. Bless.
So good to see you again! You've been an inspiration to me; I'm 71 and just made my Subaru into a camping nest,, and am headed to Big Sur, California. I never thought I could do this in a Subaru, but your Ru videos showed me it's totally possible, even at my age. Anything is possible! I'm glad you're home with your family for awhile....I do think that rainbow was love from Blue. 🌈 Love to you and Taz!! ♥
grieving is the weirdest longest journey ive ever been on in my life. The only advice I can give that makes any sense is to be kind to yourself and let yourself feel every feeling in full, the more you pretend you're okay the worse that breakdwon when you realize you aren't is going to be. you're allowed to cry and be sad, but continue living life and seeing the world, help Taz find her place in it too ! Blue was the luckiest dog in the world and I know for a fact he understood how privledged he was. Give yourself some props for that ♥
I agree! If u try to heal faster? It will prolong it! Like I said my boy died 4 years ago! Every year around the time of his passing? I get sad and cry. But this is part of being a fur mom! And the pain is worth it
gosh you are so much stronger than me. Its been 2 years and I'm still crushed. I've rescued/ fostered two dogs since then , one from a kill shelter (45 minutes left before I adopted him. ) Tuck ( Belgian Malions , and Lucky, German Shepard) They both have a wonderful home. Nothing will replace Racer but helping other dogs kinda helps. proud of you ❤
Hi beautiful traveler. That our fur baby angels are here with us for only a short part of our lives is almost cruel isn’t it? I lost my Max kitty on 5/5/24, my Bella kitty 7/30/24. I’m devastated as are you, as are the many who write loving comments to you. Thank you for sharing Bleu with all of us. He was a very special companion indeed! God Bless You
Just finished this video and teared up when you finally made it home. Grief is no joke. One day at a time. Glad you can spend time with your family. Sending hugs from Louisiana!
Welcome back to fabulous, one of a kind MICHIGAN ✋️!!! Didn't know you were from Muskegon! I'm so close to you!!! The pain of losing precious Blue will never leave you, Ria. You will learn to live with it. Each one of my dogs has taken a chunk of my heart with them. My last labbie, Luca, I lost 3 years ago and I still tear up thinking about him. That's grief. That's also what it means to love something with every cell in your body!
I have watched your trip from the start. I cried so when Blue died. I am a big dog lover, and I was heartbroken over it. Your new one is sweet. Blue would be glad. Stay safe and I’ve enjoyed this whole thing. God bless you …
So sorry about Blue, he was precious. This new baby is so sweet! Enjoy your videos so much. I am not getting a lot of house work done, can’t wait to see the next one! Good luck😊!
Taz is showing her personality more & coming out of her shell. I lost my Gizzy girl last week after 15 years 8 months so I feel your pain. Luckily I had picked up a Aussie doddle pup 2 months before her passing so he is helping ease my pain somewhat. It's still hard! I picked her ashes up today & leaked tears all over the place once again! We all loved your Blue!😭❤
I just recently came across your channel.. and i had to subscribe! Im so sorry for your loss. Blue is such a beautiful soul. I loss my dog 2 years ago and “Winter” was the “love of my life”. I just bawled last night watching the video remembering Blue. Things will get easier. It just takes time.
I cry with you over Blue. You will grieve for him the rest of your life. Years from now you will think your over the grief and something we’ll pop up and you find yourself crying for no reason. I know this because I am living it 27 years and a still miss my Trapper.❤❤❤
Ah, I just knew there'd be a Maria video today! Your guardian angels were out on the trip, and that includes the rainbow, which I'm sure Blue sent you. We are very connected to our pets, no matter what. So glad you are home with family to help your grief somewhat. Taz's personality is coming out and she is adorable! Much love sweetie. Always with ya.
Even though I'm an introvert at heart, that interaction with the farmers and how they were being informative while also cracking jokes to ease the tension/stress; just amazing. Love all of these vibes
Well, first girl, you PARK like I do my truck!! It's a TALENT!! I am SO THANKFUL TO GOD for the farmers that stopped and helped u!!! My heart still hurts for u with the loss of Blue...I have hurt for u!! U come from such a loving family....it'll help u spending time with them! Sending u love from Oklahoma!
I lost my 15 year old beagle Finnegan two weeks ago and I feel like I can't breathe. He was basically my whole world. I miss him so much. I'm so sorry to hear about Blue. Sending lots of love to you and Taz. 💚
❤ I'm so happy you are home and get to spend time with your family most precious thing during this time is that you have other family members to help you get through the good times bad times and the worst times. I'm so happy that you have Taz and Blue as ur guardian angel 😊
Grieving takes time. There will be waves of emotions meeting you where you are. The deeper the feelings the deeper the love and acceptance. Take care of yourself, just as you as a mother took care of lucky little Blu.
Your poor mother. If I had a daughter roaming reckless around the country by herself like you, I’m not sure I could sleep at night, I’d constantly worry about her. That being said, I enjoy your videos, you have a great sense of adventure, & you’re very brave. Much sympathy for your loss of Blue.
Parents get used to it eventually, if boys can do it so can girls! Haha but once a parent realizes they’re reckless they just relax after some time! It takes a lot of communication
I agree with you. As a mother, I would be worried like crazy. 1 because my child is traveling alone and 2 in an unreliable vehicle. I pray that GOD protects her while she's out there.
I agree I wouldn’t sleep well if my sons lived out in a vehicle . I grew up in Colorado and I kept my parents up at night camping and driving around the mountains. This was in the 70’s and we didn’t have cell phones I called my mom collect everyday to let her know I was ok. I was always out on an adventure . I had a 357 with me never had to use it .But I loved it great memories . I’m so glad my sons aren’t like me . Best wishes to Mary
While fueling. Keep the nozzle in the upright position. Turn the nozzle sideways once you are done, and give it a few shakes. Remove the nozzle, and keep the tip in the upright position.
We're still connected to those we love even after they're gone. They're still with us. Every living thing in the Universe is connected. Also, always, always carry an appropriately-sized breaker-bar for changing tires! Something long enough where you can get some leverage on it! Dude said: "Where'd you get this thing, Rhodesia?" There hasn't been a Rhodesia since 1979, homie. Where did he come up with that one lol
Bless your heart! I feel your lost, my dog has been gone 2 mts also, and she was my everything. I know it’s bittersweet having passing the same places you and Blue have travel. Thank God for our precious memories. Stay safe sweet girl.
I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing...thank you for posting. My heart goes out to you for your loss. Grief is a journey you never get over...it will get easier but it will still come in waves. I lost my best friend 2 years ago...he was a 5 yr old Rottweiler named Merdock and had the most loving gentle soul. It was sudden and I was devastated. To this day I still cry thinking about him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take the time you need and looking forward to you're cont journey once you are ready. Hugs❤
You are awesome ! Live you best life make memories. At 60 yrs old I'm wishing I'd have done what you are doing long ago. Thank you for sharing your experiences with other like myself you didn't have the courage to take that leap. I know it has been tough without Blue but glad Taz is share your journey now take care of yourself and thanks again for sharing.....
Hey girl I for one am very proud of how daring you are to go this alone with your AWESOME dog.😊 glad I found you and plan on watching your adventures.wish I could be you but being 74 soon I cant as iam to old for such adventures.
Proably wouldn't have been able to bust those lugnuts loose with that set you have even if you had the correct socket. Need a breaker bar or a tire iron.
I hope your little lady settles into road life experiencing less anxiety as she continues to adjust....and I hope home helps to mend your broken heart.
I hope you had a warranty on that tire! That could have been a nasty accident. What wonderful men to stop and help. I love seeing things like that so we know there is still a lot of good in this world. My heart aches for you losing Blue. I'm doing all the snuggling I can with a 12 1/2 year old Golden Retriever that has cancer but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. He is still the love bug he always has been and way more active than most normal 12 year old dogs. I can't imagine life without him.
I’m from Texas born and raised, but when I was working for Marriott hotels and resorts, they transferred me to Livonia Michigan, we loved the summers there, but the winters are just too long. We were living in Southfield Michigan at that time later we bought a house in Garden City, Michigan. I had two sons that were born in Southfield Michigan at Providence Hospital. At that time I was working for the Dearborn. I loved that job. It was a beautiful hotel built by Henry Ford. I have so many fond memories of that hotel. Christmas time we would decorate that hotel up it was absolutely beautiful. I’m really enjoying watching your blogs.
I'm such a cry baby. I just made it to the end when you and Taz are home and you're outside waiting for the dogs to meet. When I tell you I'm SOBBINGGG 😭😭😭
Without adversity there would be no adventures. Old tire guy here you’re blown sidewall was caused by low pressure overheating very common you have excellent choice of tires because of the stiff side walls the tire still stayed off the rim. 👍to the 2 gentleman who came to the rescue bless them. All in all I love this episode you are a true trooper and this was a great episode. Hope you get some rest and much needed you time and family loving enjoy look forward to your return. God bless from a fan in SC☮️out
Welcome home from a Michigander❤. Glad you made it home safely. I had to say goodbye to my girl (Belgian Malinois)last June. Hardest decision ever and I still cry all the time. She was almost 15 last June. There's days I feel ok but then others it just hits out of nowhere. Our connection was a once in a lifetime thing. I have another rescue (German shepherd)now and love her dearly but its definitely not that same connection. Its definitely a life changer when you lose someone you shared something so special with.
I was thinking the same thing until I saw the portion of the video where she was bleeding her tire assuming the tire pressure was too high without waiting for the tires to cool first before measuring temperature
You should always have a tire iron in your vehicle. It always comes equipped with a tire iron, not a socket set. A tire iron usually has about a 1 ft handle to it and it's curved and the socket part of it fits on your lug nuts. A lug nut wrench gives you leverage so that you can get the nut off the bolt. In the future, you might want to invest in a lug nut wrench. And make sure it fits your lug nuts.
When it's a gray-market ex-military vehicle, who knows what it comes with. The farmer said the lug nuts were 1-1/16th. That's an odd size that you might have a hard time finding in the auto parts store. USDM lug nuts are 19mm or 3/4 inch.
So so sorry to hear about your Blue😞😞. I don't know what i'm ever gonna do without my Payton. Travel safe beautiful lady. Welcome back home to Michigan. ❤. I'm finally home to Ludington for a week as well to do some fishing on my boat on Lake Michigan. Safe future travels to you Ria. Love watching your videos.
Maria I am so, so sorry that you are still missing Blue so much, I definitely know how you feel. Hugs for you. It does get easier but it will take time. God bless you.
the grief of losing Blue won’t ever go away completely….it will lessen in intensity. I still cry sometimes when I think of my incredible, best ever dog, my Aussie Hannah. It’s been 5 yrs……still miss her like crazy
I am so happy that you are home. Now don’t try to post for a while, just relax and enjoy your family and heal. We will all be here when you get ready to upload more videos, but mostly what we want for you is healing.
Sorry I missed you in North Dakota. You now know what North Dakota nice is. Yes, I have stopped and changed tires for people here too. I wish I would have been able to do it for you but I am too far North. Looks like Taz is really blossoming into a good little friend. Have a good rest please.
Hugs to you and so happy your home to heal and be with family. You inspire me and I love your personality. Hope to see you on the road. Sending love to sweet Taz😊
Your Minnesota complaint makes me think of Vermonters calling New Yorkers "flatlanders" when New York has significantly more mountains and mountains that are taller. It makes me crazy!!!! I lost my best boy Preston (in my icon) almost 2 years ago, and the waves still hit me. I hope you can find some healing while home being surrounded by the people you most love. Enjoy your time there! 💙
Grief never goes away it will just become a part of you and will lessen in intensity but will never leave you.
yes so very true having lost my beloved daughter aged 13 (and then the loss of the gorgeous dog carrying her name at just aged 4 is soul destroying.... grief overwhelmes me at times and it feels like it smothers me with utter sadness but occationally it lets me come up for air....but the truth is.....utterly devastating (life changing) loss will now always walk beside me...😥💔
andrew garfield once said grieve is just the love that has nowhere to go
Well said but applies to humans first!
Love to see when strangers jump in to help. Gives me the warm fuzzies.❤
Taz is living her best life with you. She’s one lucky dog.
Warranty your tire.
Yes she is
My once in a life time, Sadie-the-Dog, got kidney disease and we nursed her, cooking for her, vet visits and regular IV hydrations, for nearly a year. When she passed, I was destroyed. I didn't work for a month. I got a phone call that I had not paid a bill and although shocked that I had forgotten, I told the person calling that we had a death in our family and apologized.

Oh how i feel you ..i
Miss so much my charlie it hurts so bad after 3 yrs .
Mine was named Zeke. He's been gone 10 years, and I still miss him every single day. I never really got over his loss, although I've been blessed with great dogs since his death.
I feel the same way. Mine was a shin tzu named Lulu and it has been 6 years and I just cannot move on with another animal. I miss her so much.
Mine was named Husky, he passed away 40 years ago, and I think of him every single day...
@@barbralawley2555 all I can do is feel sympathy for you because I know what you feel.
The gentlemen were a kick. 😂 There are good humans roaming this earth.
it's nice to have a home to go to with a mom waiting to see you. I miss my mom like I was a little kid. Cherish time with yours because when they are gone, life is never again the same.
So glad you're home. The farmers who helped with your tire were awesome! Your filming and editing is crazy, great angles! I hope your heart is healing, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Maria, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing Blue with all of us. 🌟❤️🙏🏼
I don't think you ever get over loss it just goes to a place in your heart and the memories stay there for you to always remember hugs to you❤
It doesn't get easier. You just adjust. What makes it ok is the knowledge that you gave him the best life possible. That is what matters.
Oh no Blue!😢 I’m so sorry Maria. I haven’t watched the channel in a while. So sorry to hear that Blue passed. But you both have so many amazing memories together and most of them are on your channel! Gone but not forgotten ❤
Haha you crack me up…you spill two drinks and then give a dog a tall glass of water and SURPRISE she spills it. Hahahahaha
Chester( my fur son) and I are sending love and healing vibes. I am so grateful for little mama keeping you company... I feel sure Blue told her to take care of mom. Bless.
Thank you, Lord, for the men who stopped and helped with the tire change. God Bless them.
💯🙏🏼🙏🏼💖
So good to see you again! You've been an inspiration to me; I'm 71 and just made my Subaru into a camping nest,, and am headed to Big Sur, California.

Hey, be safe!
grieving is the weirdest longest journey ive ever been on in my life. The only advice I can give that makes any sense is to be kind to yourself and let yourself feel every feeling in full, the more you pretend you're okay the worse that breakdwon when you realize you aren't is going to be. you're allowed to cry and be sad, but continue living life and seeing the world, help Taz find her place in it too ! Blue was the luckiest dog in the world and I know for a fact he understood how privledged he was. Give yourself some props for that ♥
Great advice, feel your feelings :).
I agree! If u try to heal faster? It will prolong it! Like I said my boy died 4 years ago! Every year around the time of his passing? I get sad and cry. But this is part of being a fur mom! And the pain is worth it
Hey there! I live in South Dakota, and I thought I had seen a Defender that looked eerily similar to Poe!
Come back and visit the hills next time!
RIP Blue❤ . Taz is so lucky to be in your arms .
Ria Taz is a great dog. God really planned this for your and Blue knew what was going on.
gosh you are so much stronger than me. Its been 2 years and I'm still crushed. I've rescued/ fostered two dogs since then , one from a kill shelter (45 minutes left before I adopted him. ) Tuck ( Belgian Malions , and Lucky, German Shepard) They both have a wonderful home. Nothing will replace Racer but helping other dogs kinda helps.
proud of you ❤
Hi beautiful traveler. That our fur baby angels are here with us for only a short part of our lives is almost cruel isn’t it? I lost my Max kitty on 5/5/24, my Bella kitty 7/30/24.

losing your best friend never gets easier, you learn how to live with the pain of it, I find having another dog with you helps a ton.

Thank you guys for helping our girl Maria xo

So sorry for your loss.😕
The tire lug wrench is sticking up right next to your tool box.

so happy you’re home maria! makes me want to happy cry ! 🩷
❤ I'm so happy you are home and get to spend time with your family most precious thing during this time is that you have other family members to help you get through the good times bad times and the worst times. I'm so happy that you have Taz and Blue as ur guardian angel 😊
Grieving takes time. There will be waves of emotions meeting you where you are. The deeper the feelings the deeper the love and acceptance. Take care of yourself, just as you as a mother took care of lucky little Blu.
So glad I watched your video today, I'm heading to the US in a few days and your ad re airalo is a lifesaver! Thank you!!!!
It's best to check your tire pressure in the morning because it's cooler, so you get a better reading.
Glad your home kido, get strong before your next adventure ✌️

We're still connected to those we love even after they're gone. They're still with us. Every living thing in the Universe is connected.

Dude said: "Where'd you get this thing, Rhodesia?" There hasn't been a Rhodesia since 1979, homie. Where did he come up with that one lol
Invest in a half inch drive 2 foot breaker bar and the 1/2 inch drive socket for any future tire problems
Bless your heart! I feel your lost, my dog has been gone 2 mts also, and she was my everything. I know it’s bittersweet having passing the same places you and Blue have travel. Thank God for our precious memories. Stay safe sweet girl.
Thank God for farmers❤ Grief does go away. There is hope my friend 🙏
I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing...thank you for posting. My heart goes out to you for your loss. Grief is a journey you never get over...it will get easier but it will still come in waves. I lost my best friend 2 years ago...he was a 5 yr old Rottweiler named Merdock and had the most loving gentle soul. It was sudden and I was devastated. To this day I still cry thinking about him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take the time you need and looking forward to you're cont journey once you are ready. Hugs❤
You are awesome ! Live you best life make memories. At 60 yrs old I'm wishing I'd have done what you are doing long ago. Thank you for sharing your experiences with other like myself you didn't have the courage to take that leap. I know it has been tough without Blue but glad Taz is share your journey now take care of yourself and thanks again for sharing.....
Hey girl I for one am very proud of how daring you are to go this alone with your AWESOME dog.😊 glad I found you and plan on watching your adventures.wish I could be you but being 74 soon I cant as iam to old for such adventures.
Grief is so wild, it doesn't get easier per say, you get stronger :) 💗
Proably wouldn't have been able to bust those lugnuts loose with that set you have even if you had the correct socket. Need a breaker bar or a tire iron.
I hope your little lady settles into road life experiencing less anxiety as she continues to adjust....and I hope home helps to mend your broken heart.
I’d definitely call whoever sold you the tire and tell them what happened. That’s so crazy a brand new tire did that.
She ran it low on air and then the sidewall let go you can see it in the tire
I hope you had a warranty on that tire! That could have been a nasty accident. What wonderful men to stop and help. I love seeing things like that so we know there is still a lot of good in this world. My heart aches for you losing Blue. I'm doing all the snuggling I can with a 12 1/2 year old Golden Retriever that has cancer but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. He is still the love bug he always has been and way more active than most normal 12 year old dogs. I can't imagine life without him.
I wonder where youre going..

How awesome of those two good 'ole boys to stop and change your tire! They had all the right tools too! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
I'm such a cry baby. I just made it to the end when you and Taz are home and you're outside waiting for the dogs to meet. When I tell you I'm SOBBINGGG 😭😭😭
Without adversity there would be no adventures. Old tire guy here you’re blown sidewall was caused by low pressure overheating very common you have excellent choice of tires because of the stiff side walls the tire still stayed off the rim. 👍to the 2 gentleman who came to the rescue bless them.
All in all I love this episode you are a true trooper and this was a great episode. Hope you get some rest and much needed you time and family loving enjoy look forward to your return. God bless from a fan in SC☮️out
Commenting during commercial, excited for this one!
Welcome home from a Michigander❤. Glad you made it home safely.
I had to say goodbye to my girl (Belgian Malinois)last June. Hardest decision ever and I still cry all the time. She was almost 15 last June. There's days I feel ok but then others it just hits out of nowhere. Our connection was a once in a lifetime thing. I have another rescue (German shepherd)now and love her dearly but its definitely not that same connection.
Its definitely a life changer when you lose someone you shared something so special with.
Is there a warranty on those tires? I feel like that was a flaw in the sidewall or something. They should reimburse you.
I was thinking the same thing until I saw the portion of the video where she was bleeding her tire assuming the tire pressure was too high without waiting for the tires to cool first before measuring temperature
I’ve been watching for a while now. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE VLOG. Your common sense humor is great. Be safe!
You should always have a tire iron in your vehicle. It always comes equipped with a tire iron, not a socket set.
A tire iron usually has about a 1 ft handle to it and it's curved and the socket part of it fits on your lug nuts.
A lug nut wrench gives you leverage so that you can get the nut off the bolt.
In the future, you might want to invest in a lug nut wrench.
And make sure it fits your lug nuts.
When it's a gray-market ex-military vehicle, who knows what it comes with. The farmer said the lug nuts were 1-1/16th. That's an odd size that you might have a hard time finding in the auto parts store. USDM lug nuts are 19mm or 3/4 inch.
@@stacymcmahon453I believe that's the same size as my 84 Ford f-250. It wasn't hard to find. When did the UK switch to metric anyway?
All I could think was "jeepers Creepers" when the tire blew. How nice were those guys ❤❤❤❤❤
So so sorry to hear about your Blue😞😞. I don't know what i'm ever gonna do without my Payton. Travel safe beautiful lady. Welcome back home to Michigan. ❤. I'm finally home to Ludington for a week as well to do some fishing on my boat on Lake Michigan. Safe future travels to you Ria. Love watching your videos.
You probably found the lug wrench by now. It should be with the jack. No one would filch it surely?
SD is my home state and I miss it so much, this video makes me so happy that you got to travel through it again.
I am so sorry to hear of Blue's passing, I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you for the entertaining content
Maria I am so, so sorry that you are still missing Blue so much, I definitely know how you feel. Hugs for you. It does get easier but it will take time. God bless you.
I’m just glad you’re home. Family is the best thing for you right now.
the grief of losing Blue won’t ever go away completely….it will lessen in intensity. I still cry sometimes when I think of my incredible, best ever dog, my Aussie Hannah. It’s been 5 yrs……still miss her like crazy
Love watching your videos!!! Praying your heart heals from losing Blue! I know it can’t be easy.
Great video Maria. Glad to see Taz is adjusting to road life.
Welcome back home Maria.
So glad there are still folks willing to,help others
Happy your home. Relax, enjoy your family. Most importantly, take care of you. ❤
Glad to see you’re doing ok. I hope you and your girl are enjoying time at home.
I am so happy that you are home. Now don’t try to post for a while, just relax and enjoy your family and heal. We will all be here when you get ready to upload more videos, but mostly what we want for you is healing.
Much love to you. Sending hugs. RIP Blu 😢
I cried when you got home to your Mom ❣️ My first dog was named Tazmon (Taz or Tazzie for short) 💙
So your vehicle is undoubtedly a Metric System! You need a 27 millimeter socket I believe to fit the wheel Lug Nuts..❤👍👍👍
Welcome home! Now take time for YOU!!! 💕
I’m so glad you’re home ❤. Your family must love having you home.
Relieved that you're home. I can see in your eyes that your heart is tired. Hoping you can recharge at home and be loved on ❤
Sorry I missed you in North Dakota. You now know what North Dakota nice is. Yes, I have stopped and changed tires for people here too. I wish I would have been able to do it for you but I am too far North. Looks like Taz is really blossoming into a good little friend. Have a good rest please.
Hugs to you and so happy your home to heal and be with family. You inspire me and I love your personality. Hope to see you on the road. Sending love to sweet Taz😊
Your Minnesota complaint makes me think of Vermonters calling New Yorkers "flatlanders" when New York has significantly more mountains and mountains that are taller. It makes me crazy!!!!
I lost my best boy Preston (in my icon) almost 2 years ago, and the waves still hit me. I hope you can find some healing while home being surrounded by the people you most love. Enjoy your time there! 💙
South Dakotans are good people. Prayers for you and lil' Taz.
Grief is not linear. Sadness and joy and anger and excitement can coexist. And should. Sending lots of love.
