I grieve for you and am amazed at your strength. What drew me to your videos is the joy you see in the little things like food and sunrises and life in general. I now know why! Bless you!

    Gina, that's a nice name. I forgot to tell you that you have a pretty voice when you are singing when you're on the road in your car. I'm sorry about your dad but life is like that. Everybody u know or love ends up dying. Just be glad you're still shining bright and traveling across America and doing what you love to do. I really wish I could do what you're doing.

    Just catching up on your earliest videos during this long weekend. Wow, you are seriously the most interesting channel on UA-cam. I wish I had traveled when I first left the military the way you are now, instead of seeking work again right away. I’m still hoping too, maybe in a few more years there is just so much I want to get out and see while I’m still young enough to do the things I love.
    So sorry for your losses as well. That was so sad to listen to and I could feel the pain as you talked. You have really been through a lot so far but you seem very resilient and clearly you were raised right. I hope your channel continues to grow from 100 when this was posted and hopefully up to 5000 soon enough. Hope you’re having a good Thanksgiving and safe travels to you.

    @MarkD864 2 місяці тому +1

    Thanks Gina, it means a lot to me that you shared this. I have a daughter 21 and son 23, and we are from Upstate SC. I've taken 3 road trips with my son, and 1 with my daughter, they were all special. My wife's father passed away suddenly in a motorcycle accident a couple years after we were married; all these years later she stills cries on his bday and holidays. While there's no way I will ever know the loss that you've experienced, it hurts me to even imagine, and it helps me to appreciate and reflect on all that's good in my life. Gina, you are a living piece of your father. You are a testimony of his love for you, and I can feel the good in you. Being myself, the 'black sheep' of most everyone, I think I would probably have liked him. 🙂 I think you are so brave - traveling on your own, and because of all you've been through. I don’t believe I could be that strong, and I think you'd be a great person to know. I honestly just want to adopt you, and go on road trips with you! 😂
    If I could leave a few more kind words for you. I don't remember the quote exactly, or who wrote it, but someone long ago once said: Don't ever grow old, always keep the heart of a child. I've never felt like a grown up after 54 years. I say this because I see a child's heart in you, and that is a good thing. 🙂My wife and I have recently become 'empty nester's', so to speak. My son has really been my best friend, especially with my daughter away at college. He recently moved out, and while I miss seeing him everyday, I'm still happy for him, that he's on his own. I realize he has to make his own life, the same as my daughter. I don't know all the specifics of your dad's situation, but I know you shouldn't blame yourself. My kids happiness means more to me than my own, and I'm certain yours meant more to him. Cancer and the treatment associated can put peoples minds in very depressing and dark places, and I'm sure he would tell you what happened wasn't your fault. Being a father, I know he's proud of who you've become. Gina, I hope you find peace on your travels, and allow yourself to find love again, because you deserve it. 🙂

    I feel for you Gina. Over a span of seven years I lost my dad, then my mom, then my younger brother. Though all were difficult, my brother was the hardest. He was my best friend, as well as my roommate. It took a full year for me to pick myself up from that. It also took that long for me to be able to go back to places we frequently went and enjoyed. I understand your pain, and I feel your grief. I remember the intense feeling of being completely alone. It takes time, but things do get better. Thank you for sharing this. I wish you the best of luck.

I had no idea why UA-cam recommended your videos to me but now I see why. The pain of loss never really goes away but you learn to live with it. your heart starts getting filled with new things as life moves on, it’s gets easier a little bit at a time.

    Gina,
    Your Corolla video is showing up on automotive "recommended" lists, so you might reach a more diverse audience of people than you anticipated. They will have varying perspectives, and some will wonder what demons might drive a youngster to live out of her car.
    Regardless of any urge they may have to give unsolicited advice, they should at least hope that Fate provides enough leeway for you to understand and find what it is you seek.
    At least one worried old man in the crowd wishes you a safe journey from the bottom of his heart.
