    I never write comments, but as a filmmaker and editor of many years now I just want to commend you on cutting that montage at the end. I know how impossible difficult and brave that will have been to do, and how grateful you will be for it for many years to come. A beautiful tribute to such an amazing mother who I am certain was and is so proud of you both and all you have done.

    I have always been the guy that was strong... 25 months in Afghanistan and a 37 year law enforcement veteran trying to do the best for my country and citizens I have sworn to protect. All of that with little, if any tears. The word of your mothers passing has opened the gates and the tears are flowing. I can't say I feel your pain but know this, your videos have brought a lot of people close and I want to say thank you! You guys are awesome and will always have the great memories of Leslie and your entire family. I pray God brings you peace and continues to watch over you and your entire family!

      Better than treatment is prevention,@@PJ-SanDiego. Once one gets ill, it's really difficult to turn it around. So, I think the vegans are on to something, I really do. Or at least go organic. All we can do is all we can do, right?

    I am so sorry Allie. I cannot believe how fast this desease progressed. This really hits home because I am watching this from a hotel room with my dog and two cats. My car is loaded, as I make my way across the country to my Mom, who is not doing well. Life is so precious.

  • @MoniqueDolbin
    @MoniqueDolbin 10 місяців тому +74

    I didn't expect to sob for a woman I've never met. It was an honor getting to witness her love for you all that you so generously shared with us over the years. If I've learned anything from the losses I've navigated is that love never ends. Her great love will still be wrapped around you, always. You'll just need to learn to listen with your heart in new ways to get the messages and signs she will send. Wrapping you all in so much love as you navigate this profound loss. ❤

      You've said what I would hope to convey. I too sobbed, but I do feel like I knew her. She was always authentic and genuine. I remember when they showed up in DC, slipping under the wire of COVID shutdown. She reminded me immediately of a MIL I once had, who also passed away way too young. Just a joy to be around.

      Thank you for saying what i wanted to say but it would never have come out so eloquently. I am still sniffling. Allie, it seems that your family has truly become a part of ours. What kept me going after the death of my dad, was talking to him every day, out loud. Take care of yourselves and your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are all around you ❤

    After the shock wore off, I sat in silence feeling like we lost a member of our own family! Then I reflected on how busy you have been with all the construction…..while having so much going on in the background! I am totally amazed by how well you juggled so much in your life and yet always came across as happy and at peace. My heart breaks for your loss. May your mom/MIL rest in eternal peace. ❤

    Liking this video seems silly. But there is something to love about it. There's a whole community of people that love you guys. There's the obvious love that all of you shared with your mom. The absolute JOY on her face with Leo. That is so special and something to hang onto. I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. Take time for yourselves and keep breathing in and out. Hugs to all of you!

    I’m so sorry for your loss. My cousin passed away at age 32 with 2 little children and a husband in the Marines. You hit the mail on the head when you said ALS is not fair! My mom came out of knee surgery last yr with full blown vascular dementia. 😓My mom has always been my best friend and it is so hard to watch her go thru this. Life is hard for sure ❤

  • @bighornsheep09
    @bighornsheep09 10 місяців тому +46

    There are no words to express how hard this video was to watch, so I can't imagine how hard it was to make. You and your family are in our prayers. Time will heal wounds, but it doesn't replace a loved one! The tribute to your mother was terrific, and I am sure your father will cherish what you have done for him to have a place to get away during these challenging times.

    My daughter is your age, Allie, and I also have an impossible diagnosis, though my outcome is slower, i knew you were going through something very difficult, because I have seen my daughter's eyes with the same look as I saw in yours over the past months. As a Mom, our main thought is of our kids being alright after, and sharing wonderful experiences, so we can leave them with those to help get them through it. All my love for you guys, for Russell. What a wonderful gift UA-cam will be, because you have captured the love and joy of your Mom at her best, and that is how she wants to be remembered, because that is what I am trying to give mine. Love you.

    🦋 Couldn’t Stop thinking about you guys since seeing this video this morning. I really think the number of views, the number of likes, and the amount of comments says it all. While your mom is dearly loved and missed by all of you, her kindness and love reached into the homes of tens of thousands of people that had never even met her except on your channel. Her light shined brightly for so many to see. Again, I send you much love and many blessings and cozy gentle hugs to you.

    The worst part about UA-cam, you as creators have no idea who we are as viewers. But as viewers, we feel like we know you as friends or even family. Allie, it's no question where you get your upbeat, positive attitude from. Your Mom had an infectious smile and attitude. It was obvious she loved life to the fullest. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. You opened up your heart about this and made an amazing tribute in her honor. May God bless your family and everyone who Leslie touched.

    What a wonderful gift you gave your Mom on the night of her passing to be present with her, expressing love and she will not be forgotten. I shall remember when you told your folks about expecting Leo, the joy and laughter when you filmed them seeing Leo and their decision to move closer to you all. She was so enthusiastic. She indeed is your first and best friend Allie, that is always in the present tense. I'm sorry of her passing and yet, i reckon you will still hear her voice and wisdom, what she would laugh at and sense the things that she would take pride in your family moving forward. I share this as today is the anniversary of my mum's passing and have found this especially true in my experience. Be gentle with yourselves. Keeping you in prayer ... God's strength and peace surround you all. M

    I haven't been watching youtube for the past couple of months because my dad was really sick... he passed away Dec. 24th. So sorry for your loss... I was shocked to hear this. I was watching your latest video, and saw your dad there and saw the comments... I had to stop watching and backtrack to figure out what happened. I am glad your dad is moving in with you... I am moving in with my mom! I will always cherish the last few months I spent with both my parents while I still had both of them!

    I happened to just hit on your video. What a beautiful loving tribute to your mother. She looked to be as beautiful inside as she was outside. I lost my brother in law to ALS. He lived almost one year after diagnosis. His was a fast transgression as well. You are so right, it is a terrible, horrific disease and I pray that one day no one will have to have it or that any family will have to lose someone they love to it. You, your family and your Mother will be in my thoughts and prayers.
