in 2015 when I was told "you're not going to beat this" (and I did obviously), at the same time i was fighting for my life, country singer Joey Feek was battling cancer. And I will never forget something she said just before she passed away and it has stuck with me since then. she said "it's going to be ok, even if it's not ok". I was sick for 4 years, wrote my letters, gave things away and prepared to leave this world. Then I found a new doctor who literally saved my life. Don't give up yet, it's not over yet. Prayer, love, compassion, good nutrition, and positive energy from those around was priceless. Hang in there love, you're not alone. Sending you both love and prayers, positive thoughts.
My prayers are with you 🙏. Miracles happen 🙏🙏🙏
That's wonderful. - Kimberly
Thank you for this beautiful video. Your words about harnessing your emotions are wise-understood only in the furnace of affliction. Trust God. You have a lovely soul. I will join you in praying for Andrew’s complete restoration.
@@nikkiminkinow1378 My goodness... those words: “The furnace of affliction”. That’s exactly what it’s like. The heat of emotion can either motivate or
or overcome. Thank you.
Also, Please don’t feel any pressure to put out new episodes. Your job now is to care for Andrew because you are the best person for that job! I wouldn’t want to take away any of your time from that. Time is all we truly have in this world. We will all be here to support the fruity knitting family no matter what happens.
I agree. this is your time, not ours. Take what you need, we will always be here knitting and supporting.
They need the income.
Thank you for giving us an update and reminding us to live in the present and letting the future be what it is when it happens. I’ve adored Andrew from the first time I watched him turn to you and smile and call you “Doll”. I’m 65 years old and I haven’t given up that one day I will meet someone who will look at me with love in his eyes and call me “Doll”. You and he have been blessed to share such a love. My love to both of you.
I am so sorry. Poor Andrew. My beautiful, clever, kind and gentle 37 yr old son died in August 2024. He had a brain tumour too. He leaves a wife , and a 4 and 1 yr old. I made him socks in the last couple of months. Knitting helps a little. Thank you for your content.
We continue to pray for Andrew and the doctors and nurses treating him. We continue to pray for Andrea and Madeline too.
Please accept my condolences. I have enjoyed your podcasts. Thank you for sharing your humanity and Andrew's life memory. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Sorry I posted in the wrong place. My eyes have excessive moisture. 😞
It’s hard being a “get it done” person who is now in a situation you can’t actively control. Perhaps think of the current situation as a “season”... that this is your season of stillness, watching, waiting, walking (and, yes, fear). There will be other seasons that follow this one-seasons of working and home. Just as we can’t “get through “ winter or summer (they will last as long as they last), this is the current season of your life...not a pleasant one, but it’s visiting with you at the moment. Wonderful that you have the outlet of the natural surroundings to help you work out your frustrations. Be kind to yourself-you’re only human😊

Beautifully said Kaila, Rumi's poem 'the guest house' came to mind when reading what you wrote.
@@kerrieschreenan5620 I’m glad I’m in good company 🤗. I have heard of Rumi, but have never read his poetry...seems like I should now put him on my list. Thanks!
What a brave and honest episode, please don’t be too hard on yourself, nobody could do any more. Keep walking in the woods, get some sun and warmth on your face and breath.
Please know you all are in my thoughts, not just at update days.. Nail your exams Madeline!!!
Please don’t worry about the next episode either, we all really do understand. Sending you love and prayers.
Thank you for such honesty .Love and blessings to Andrew ,yourself and Madeleine .
Dear Andrea, when my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer, I became a horrible bitch to everyone except my mother. I sometimes hated taking care of her and the toll it had on my life, as I was writing my master thesis at university. I even discussed it with her, because I wanted her to understand that even though I did hate it, NOT doing it, not spending all the time I had with her, not talking to her and loving her and comforting her was infinitely worse. And I was grateful that this grizzly task was available for me, because it offered me a way to love her as she loved me all her life. So don't be too hard on yourself. No one is suited to this task. The only thing to do is doing it, without grace, patience or elegance, but still to just do it. Love and devotion are the rarest and sometimes ugliest of humans, but they are also the bare threads of life on which everything else is built. So be the madwoman in the forest, because what is life if not authentic. Also, to Andrew I would say that keeping the spirit alive is doing more that enough, day by day.
I looked after my sister when she had stage 4 breast cancer. There were alot of complications. I was exhausted, stressed and hungry most of the time. Dealing with my siblings was also challenging. When she died, I became trustee and guardian for the grandson she was raising. I'm saying this to say, I feel what you are and are not saying, and I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, for you. That was 5 years ago. I'm in a good place emotionally now. I loved my sister so much, and am glad to have had that time with her.
If i were there with you, I would hold your hand and hug you. So I impart every bit of strength and encouragement to you and Andrew.
Our heavenly Father sees and cares for you.
This is such a wonderful message. I'm so sorry about your mother.
yes, exactly! You are both working so hard. Existence is smiling on you, no matter what you do and how you feel.
That’s just the most beautiful, pure and real thing I’ve read for a long time. Thank you for articulating it so well. 💐
My thoughts and prayers are with you...
Dear Andrea - Caring for a very ill loved one is the hardest thing we ever do. Please give yourself space, and self care, and time. I am so proud of you for taking those walks in the woods - Nature is the supreme healer. Big blessings to you for this horrific journey, big blessings to Andrew for his courage, we are all rooting for you both.
hug all the trees you can, while you are in that forest! What a big blessing, to be there.
I would count it as a blessing to happen upon you singing in the forest. You’re always in my prayers.
God is with you. Even in the darkest hours. He is right there. Praying for you Andrew and your family.
I’m grateful that you can stay with Andrew. As difficult as it is, I know it helps you both.
Dearest Andrea, I wish I could reach thru this screen and give you a big hug. Thank you for sharing your profound thoughts, because we all will face difficult times in life, and your insights are now part of my coping mechanism. Best wishes to Andrew, good luck to Madeleine on her exams. Thinking of you all often.
This came about so fast...can't imagine going through what this family did. Andrew was so cool too. Gonna miss his interesting perspectives and ideas, the projects he would pick, watching him grow as a knitter, and the BEST smile.
I am in awe of the way you are helping Andrew and Madeleine get through this. Sending you love and respect Andrea, you’re an example to us all. Julia xx
Aaaal
My friend and I have made a pact that we don’t clean our houses before the other one comes over, because this is what “real life” looks like. Same here, we want to share your “real life” with you, and appreciate you sharing your story with us. Praying for you all in America.
Andrea, thank you for taking the time to update your many virtual friends on Andrew's condition. As many others have said, your words are so meaningful and poignant. Prayers and positive thoughts for you all.
Yes, thanks for the update.
You have over 62,000 viewers that are listening...I am sure we are all thinking of you so use this platform as your therapy and know we all are thinking of the three of you. CHIN UP!! Thank you Andrea and a big Hello to Andrew and Madeline and of course Jack 🥰😍, Sharon.
If you have time, it could be worth getting monetised on UA-cam, you have a wonderful back catalogue of content that could be earning you money. I'd happily have episodes playing in the background all day to get you the ad revenue. Sending love and hugs xxx
Dear God, please give Andrew and Andrea the miracle they are looking for. Give them peace and comfort and healing. We are all praying 🙏 sending hugs and much love. I was born not far from where you are now. It’s such a beautiful place. Nature is such a great place to reflect and release. Stay close with your faith. God is truly with you...
Andrea, there is nothing your viewers would rather have you doing than caring for Andrew. We would show up in solidarity if distance allowed! Your honesty about your circumstances lets us share in your world. May our affection for you all lighten your load just a bit. Joining you in praying for a complete recovery!
32 year cancer survivor here. Sending you a Survivor’s positive energy. Fight on A & A! Much love. ❤️
Dear Ones,
Your world wide support team is with you in spirit and faith! Thank you for sharing your family's sacred path -- we love you. Here is a boost from the poet:
"When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow,
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress."
From Ann in Boise, Idaho USA
Although this is a very sad time, it is wonderful to see you both. My heart breaks for you all. My husband passed away 2 weeks ago, so I will now be sending all my love and any extra strength I have to you all. This may also help me heal. Love to you all.
I'm sorry for your loss ❤
Deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband. 2 weeks is only a minute and yet a lifetime. God's grace to you.
@@bonniel3679 Thank you.
@@judymanning2538 Thank you.
It seems that you are doing everything you could possibly do. Focus on love and our family sends you love. You are the most amazing family, and I’ve come to love you all. I visualize you coming out stronger than ever and Andrew has the best care taker in the world. You have brought so much beauty, color and music into the world thank you very much.
You are teaching such important concepts and values in this difficult time! Wow! Such personal strength you have showing these valuable life lessons. Proverbs " Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don't lean on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your path". I've been in your circumstances. Find one thing each day to laugh or 😊
My deepest condolences for your sad loss.Andrew will be very much missed by Fruity Knitting folks, such a lovely person with a warm heart . Thinking of you and Madeleine and Jack and hoping you find comfort in your memories of happy times together. X
Thank you so much for letting me into your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Every second with Andrew counts.. we’re praying for a good recovery for him and soon he’ll be knitting again.. 🙏😘
When you feel impatient, don't pray for patience, ask the Lord to BE your patience and carry on. Bless you both!
Andrea, I am sure that in the thousands of comments you will receive in response to this video, there will be people more eloquent than I. I just wanted to say that I think your approach is brilliant. It’s not heavy, it’s honest. Thank you for sharing your experience and allowing us to get a small window into your world. My prayers continue.
I am so very sorry to hear about Andrew's passing. There just aren't words to express how I feel, wish we could all give you a huge hug. You were blessed with a wonderful man, your love radiated from the screen. He will live on in your heart. Blessings.
I’m so sad to learn of Andrew’s passing. I’m holding you both in my heart as you learn to walk with him in Spirit.
I didn't know that....so sorry and sad to learn that. I am keeping all of you in my prayers.
I didn't know that Andrew has passed. I send you love.
i was thinking that. So sorry.
Honestly, who would give this a thumbs down? Glad that the tumour has shrunk, that’s wonderful news. Hopefully, the break in treatment will give Andrew time to gain back some strength. Sending you healing vibes and thoughts of strength.
I agree about the thumbs down, who are these idiots.
Being charitable i am wondering as there are so many that they are elderly, like myself, who are not very good with UA-cam and by giving the thumbs down feel they are expressing their sadness at Andrew’s illness. Alternatively they might just be very unpleasant people.
@@helenedwards1468 Maybe, thank you for that perspective. I hope you are correct.
We're getting to the point where we can reasonably stop waiting with knots in our stomachs for Andrew to get worse, and wait for him to finish getting better. He's lucky to have you, and we're all wildly lucky that he's in the care of excellent doctors.
We are so so sorry to hear the sad news. Lots of love to you, Andrea, and to Madeleine and Jack, you are all in our prayers. 💗🌺🧡
I can't tell you how sorry I was to hear of Andrew's passing. I have watched the both of you for so long that I feel I know you. I admire your courage and grace throughout this illness. Please take care of yourself and your beautiful daughter.
I will continue visualizing Andrew - happy and healthy - on extreme knitting adventures. Nature has such amazing healing powers. May she hold you both during this struggle.
I understand what you are going through completely. My late husband battled a rare form of neuroendocrine carcinoma for 3 1/2 years. I look back, 7+ years since his death, and realize the blessings that saw me through those frightening, daunting, and challenging years. Challenges of which I could never have conceived. And there were blessings too, in the midst of the fear. I am grateful for the lessons and the blessings.
Sending massive loving, healing energy your way! 💗🙏 Expecting miracles!!
A fellow neuroendocrine tumor survivor (so far), this is such an unpredictable disease. Was diagnosed in Aug 2020 and told, since it is slow growing, There could be 10 years of survival, but nothing is for sure. So waiting for each scan to come out NOD and inbetween living life as well as it is possible.
Bright and early this morning I was lying in bed being lazy watching you tube videos and I found a lovely couple talking about knitting together. He showed her a pair of green socks knitted with love for her! I showed my husband "look at this ! He knitted her socks exactly like the pair I just knitted for you, same colour and style " I just thought Andrew was the sweetest so I continued to watch with envy as he went on walk abouts while we are cooped up in the cold here in Canada. What a wonderful life you both were living! Who wouldn't want to have a life like that? A love like that?
Then another video came up showing your eulogy for Andrew. What a shock ! I had just found you both .
Now Andrew was taken away, a vibrant life cut too short. Life throws us so many curves sometimes, its not fair , it sucks but you have to deal with whatever life brings you.
Well, words cannot express the sympathy I feel, and I see its been about 10 months since he has passed .
I hope you have been able to start to adjust to life without him .
I am a retired nurse who took care and my dad and father in law at home , both dying of cancer , and now my 93 year old mother is failing and requiring constant care.
The thing with terminal cancer is there is and end to it, you see your loved one suffering and finally they are at peace. Though you miss them terribly , you would never want them back to be living through that weakened state again. I think it is one of the most rewarding things you can ever do for a parent or sibling or a spouse or even a friend , to support them through illness and through palliative care and the end of their life.
Even though it was all new to you, though you may have felt like you didn't know what to do , you were there! Through thick and thin, sickness and health..you did a great job you could see how much he appreciated it. I hope youwill be able to remember him the way he was, with his adorable grin and the sweet way he showed you he love.
Cherish those sock.
Take care
Donna
I will subscribe to the channel and try to watch the episodes in order
Dear Andrea, You continue to bless Andrew with your strength and your companionship. What you are doing is our ultimate calling. Everything else is preparation. I watch casts daily and enjoy seeing both of you at your best. I trust that my spiritual energy will add to yours. Love to all three of you.
Thinking about all of you and hoping Andrew’s health continues to improve. 🥰😘
Dear Andrew and Andrea, I discovered your UA-cam channel about a month ago. I felt I could not continue to reap the benefits of your hard work without supporting you in some way, so I became a patron. Your message of hope and perspective was very timely for me. I will be praying for your family (Jack included) and particularly for Andrew’s complete recovery. It’s an honour to be able to support you all, even if it is in a very small way. God bless.
Andrea, my heart goes out to you. May you find peace and healing with your daughter and your knitting😢🧶💕❤️
Beautiful video. There aren’t words enough to describe how I feel for you all. You are in my prayers. Warmest love
Andrew, Andrea, and Madeline.....you are prayed for every single day. May you all feel the strength of Jesus Christ. He walks this road with you, and it’s my prayer that you feel His presence in each and every moment. Also, thank you for the updates. Andrea you are an amazingly strong woman, being exactly who you have been called to be, which is Andrew’s wife, and you are doing it well. Continued prayers for perseverance and patience. You are loved.....🙏🏼💗🙏🏼
What beautiful insights! I will be rewatching this for your thoughts on life Andrea.
Thanks you so much for the update, I have been wondering how both of you have been doing, although I wouldn't want to pry on your private lives while you're going through something so personal. Thank you for letting us all in, we all care about you two.
Beautiful video and Solveigs song brought tears to my eyes, it is so meaningful, especially at this time in your life. R.I. P Andrew.
Andrew is so blessed to have you in his life through this journey. You are an inspiration with your positivity. I'm happy to hear he has had some shrinkage of his tumor. It's a good sign. Thank you for sharing the music and a walk through the forest. Madeline is so talented. Her art work was lovely. Bless you all!
Andrea - this is not too heavy. This is such an important conversation and I thank you for your openness and your willingness to engage with us on this level. My level of confidence in you both remains at its height. And to some extent, this is about the experience, not the outcome (as it is with everything in this world). Stay the course, all of you. Your strength is inspriational. With love, xo
This was a very hard episode to watch as my sons brain tumor has returned after 5 years of remission. As someone going through it I know there is nothing I can say to make it better. However I can sit beside you with my feelings of anger and intense sadness. I can also sit beside you and hope others can be thankful for the good things in their lives. I can also sit beside you as you are angry when others take their good fortune for granted. I can sit beside you and not judge. I can know when to just be quiet and sit beside you in your feelings.
So sorry about your son, hope the best for him and your family
@@flordemariaholmes4808 Thank you!
In these past few years, you have set a stellar example for me in knitting and now you are doing an even more important example for dealing with a very tough problem in life. My dog Stash and I feel very confident that your family’s hard work is going to pay off for Andrew. Love and best wishes to all four of you.
Thank you Kathryn, I am also confident.
Thank you for honoring us with these insights into the developments with Andrew's health and your and your entire family's situation, Andrea. It means a lot for you to share your humanity and your journey with us, it brought tears to my eyes. Many are suffering and many keep it to themselves, preventing others from comprehending the full extent of our shared humanity. By making your journey OUR journey, you contribute to bringing us into touch with what it really means to be human and alive, and I value this deep connection. My thoughts are with all of you and I sincerely appreciate feeling like I can be a part of your precious family. Here's to experiencing Andrew's healing together. And good luck to Madeline on her exams!
Wishing Andrew only the best. You must be deriving so much joy from your beautiful, kind and talented daughter. Good luck to Madeleine on her exams and hugs to Jack. Stay strong.
heartbreakingly beautiful, and your daughter looks so much like Andrew. I can see the heartbreak in your face but you are a very strong woman and we are all better off for listening to you.
Thank you, Andrea, for trusting us with this precious video. What I love most about your program is your talent for finding and sharing beauty, in knitting, in nature, in relationships, and in family. This video has that in spades. Warmest thoughts to you and Madeline. It's good to see you carrying on in the world and continuing to bring smiles to our faces.
I am so thankful for this update. I’m not very poetic or articulate, but I want to say that my admiration for you both is boundless. And the dignity you both maintain in truly the most difficult circumstance is incredible.
Don’t stop believing that things will change to the better. I believe.
Thank you so much for taking the time to update us. My heart goes out to you all. Cry, scream, sing it out in the forest. What you are going through is harrowing and you’re being amazing. I loved the filming in the Black Forest, just beautiful. I send you my love.
Andrea and Andrew - when I discovered Fruity Knitting several months ago, I wondered what on earth I had stumbled into. You have become my first choice in any viewing I do daily. I look forward to watching and rewatching and sending the link to friends and family members. It takes courage to go through what you are currently experiencing and it takes even more courage to be so open and honest with your audience. You feel like family to me now.. I love the choice of music that accompanies each session and your beautiful voice. I look forward to hearing you singing again. Stay courageous, all of you. With love from Canada.
Keep knitting! Sending you positive energy from the Women on the Mountain!
I found you through Kate and sending healing energy for Andrew and your family.
As an oncology nurse for many years I have witnessed miracles when all hope has been lost ,hang on to all that positive energy .
Andrea and Madeline, you both fortified Andrew’s struggle to stay with you. Your presence and love kept him going as much as his body would allow. I am so very sincerely and so deeply sorry to learn of his passing and he is now your angel and confident until you all meet again. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I hear your words Andrea, having walked that same path with my precious daughter. My positive thoughts and hope are with you both xx
Dear Andrea, Both Eloquent and Elegant . Thank you for keeping us all informed - as you, Andrew, Family are ever near in thought. Magnificent Footage and Music INDEED. Madeleine is such a Beauty ! Thank you for that. Andrew , you are loved out here ...... in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you ALL . marcia
I was just thinking of your family. We are cheered by the news that Andrew’s tumor is shrinking. I wish he was feeling stronger, however. It’s hard to see him so exhausted. Please don’t worry about putting out a new episode. You’ve got your hands full. All three of you are in my prayers. As I am a landscape painter myself, I enjoyed the video of Madeline painting. She’s quite talented and I’m sure communing with nature this way helps her to deal with the stress.
You don't know me - Kate from The Last Homely House mentioned you and I wanted to tell you that I too am in a very lengthy caregiving role. It is exhausting and emotionally draining. Having that lovely forest in which to work off a wee bit of your stress is a massive gift. Given the knitting projects I've seen just in today's episode, I'm going to subscribe and try to watch some of the older videos in case you will get a bit of income from the old commercials. Much as I hate them, I'll sit through them. One more thing - all medical care should be paid for. 99% of the world's humans could NEVER afford such wonderful care - I hope the fundraising helps.
Heard the news today, so sorry for your loss. Sending all the love to you Andrea and Madeleine. ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot believe I just found you yesterday when Andrew was knitting a sleeve and you were working on that lovely cardigan with the peplum. Then today this episode comes up on my you tube feed and I am completely stunned. I had no idea he was ill. I am 74 and my husband, 79, is a three time cancer survivor. In 1990, when our son was only 7 months old and our daughter 3 1/2, we received the crushing blow from a 17 member tumor board, that Bart had a recurrence of the cancer that had taken his left leg and half of its hip when he was 21. This time it was in his liver in three tumors. They told him to put his affairs in order.
Without taking up too much of your time with the details of our journey, the most startling thing I learned was that “cancer” is only a word for a condition whose origin, pathology, and cure are secrets to human but plain knowledge to
Our God. My church held a day of fasting and prayer on the day I brought my husbands biopsy slides to Memorial Sloan Kettering to their chief surgeon, Dr. Murray. He called us that Friday evening to let us know that there were NO cancer cells on the slides.
Where they went I’d Gods secret.
Well pray for Andrew now too.
Lovely story, thanks for sharing
I am so sorry to hear about your Andrew. Lifting you all up in prayer.
I was so very sorry to hear of Andrew's passing. I was also diagnosed with a stage 4 inoperable cancer about 6 weeks after Andrew, and have not been following you journey, as mine is taking all of my energy. I could not agree more about the degree of exhaustion being orders of magnitude past anything I've experienced before. Thank you SO much for your perspective on this day as a caregiver -- I think it was the message I needed. Hugs and condolences to all your family.
We're feeling so sorry for your loss, we pray God will give you strength and peace in these difficult moments.
Hello Andrea and Andrew: My husband was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma, stage 4. The very best treatment he received was from Infusion Theraputics. It was a clinical trial in the U.S. around 2002 where they infused BCNU directly into the tumor (frontal left lobe near the motor strip). He was stable for over four years. Years after the infusion I spoke with the MD who was the lead investigator in the trial and told him of the excellent results; he let me know that the therapy was now only offered in Great Britain (they were "putting too many surgeons out of business in the US" according to the MD). My husband was much older than Andrew and passed away after seven years; however, they never repeated the therapy and I always wondered if additional treatments may have given him more years or even totally wiped out the tumor. Of course, the issue with brain is that it is very difficult to deliver the drug to the tumor. A simple "biopsy like" surgery and direct infusion was/is an excellent solution. Best wishes to you both. Stay strong and never (ever!) give up.
Dear Andrea, When I battled stage 3 breast cancer my motto became "I'm gonna keep on living until the day I die". It does not matter how long we live, what matters is HOW we live. I totally understand your thinking of keeping a healthy and positive picture of Andrew in your mind. Making memories each and every day. Walking in the forest and letting out all emotions the way you describe is so very healthy! I wish, hope and pray that every day towards a full and complete recovery for Andrew, he will have at least one good moment! Something to feel grateful for and to smile about! Btw....it has now been 18 years since I went through the cancer thing!
I'm envisioning Andrew in robust health right now and will continue to do so. Strength and peace to all of you.
Your strength is what you rely on in time if dispair. Andrew you are and always will be the inspiration for us knitters that thought we did not have what it takes to knit garments or socks.
My prayers are with you and keep fighting Andrew, your work is not done yet. God works in mysterious ways.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Praying for comfort.
Each moment is precious..... Remember to take deep, slow breaths and relax from the top down. All who have been touched by you are praying for your comfort and strength. Please know that no one wants you to worry about putting out content for Fruity Knitting. Your energy is for the here and now. Praying for you daily.....
Black forest is beautiful... I was on the Belgian side in the Ardennes... and I received bad news too as my companion just have been diagnosed with dementia... sure, it is absolutely not like what you are living now, but just to say that the kind of internal despair would be similar. I too have a strong impatient temper so I can reckon that it is not easy and I admire your love for him and I wish, sooooo hard, that this nasty beast goes out of his body quick-quick and that he comes back to you, in full health for you to charm us with your beautiful videos and mostly, with your love. I had breasts cancers (5 tumors in both breast) and I am ok now... so I wish with all my heart that it will be the same for Andrew. PLEASE give him a big huge hug for me, tell him we love him as love is a great healer. Take care Andrea as we love you to. Big huge hug to both of you... oh and your daughter too 💞
So sorry to hear about Andrews passing. He was such an inspiration in every episode with his story telling.
Andrea and Madelyn and Jack you are in my 💜. Lots of love to you
Such a blessing that your family embraced creativity. I can see how it also gave you tools during such a painful time. May your husband rest in God's peace and may God bless you and those who love him.♥️🙏🏼
The Lord put Andrew on my mind over the weekend, thank you for the update, my mom and I are continually praying for Andrew's complete and total healing. Stay strong and courageous, God bless you, Andrew and Madeline.
We all walk down this path, some sooner than others. It is hard to understand how something so inevitable can still feel so sudden. All we can ask for is the grace to take it in our stride.
Dear family from Chile I understend so well, because I have been in your place Andrea. There are so many dualities during the transit of such great pain and so much the need to keep strengh and balance for our loved one who need us for those who need and love us. I see that they are handling it very spectacularly recharging energy, filling themselves withe the balance that nature give that toguether they like travel. I pray to God that Andrew achieves this test and it is the of good quality...because many lessons are learned from these things, such as that life is extremely beautiful and fragile. They are great beings and energies, I was in your place going through all that whirlwind of thousands of emotions for seconds...May the good of me meet the good of you
As a survivor of b c I can hand on heart say you are both amazing 👏 sending prayers and love ❤
Your thoughts on life as you are now living it are precious and so insightful. Seize the day, living each moment fully focused on what it means to serve Andrew right now. I too am praying for you that Gods everlasting arms will uphold and strengthen you and Andrew and Madeline. Madeline’s art work is beautiful.
Thinking of you all. Happy to be a patron and don't care about content right now. Just please don't worry about it. I'm sure plenty of people will continue to support you.
I too, have called out to God for answers when going through grief and pain. My prayer for you is for healing and strength.
I lost both my Dad and my sister to Glioblastoma and it sucks. You described all the emotions spot on. Much love
Can you feel it? Me (well, not only me - many of us) walking by your side through the forest, holding your hand, praying and singing.....🌞
Thank you Eva!
SO sad , I just found you, because I love knitting and just find that you loose him. bless you and your family I will keep been with fruity Knitting.
sorry for your loss,may your memories be of comfort to you and Madeline.x
Keep your strength strong as it will get you through. Continue to be a madwoman as that will get you through as well. I am sending love from New Zealand.
RIP Andrew 💙

I watch The Last Homely House and saw the quilt auction going on. I will join in and bid as much as I can. I am looking forward to watching your videos as well. I too have cancer and know how difficult it is for my loved ones. Your honest and beautiful words today were inspiring to me. Thank you for telling us about your feelings and Andrew’s prognosis. Sending prayers to you both!
It's amazing how God comes to help and draws you to what you need when you need it! Praying for you daily!
Andrea you are such a beautiful woman inside and out. Your hair is beautiful and your so brave and full of hope and love for Andrew. PRAYERS For Andrew, I pray for both of you for miraculous recovery for Andrew. I am very close to God and was just told today I have Brest Cancer and meeting tomorrow with Surgeon. I feel a deep sense of peace and know God will give me the strength on this journey. You are giving me strength and hope with your journey please let Andrew know that as well.
May God Bless You both.
Nobody is ready to be a full time caregiver when it's been thrust upon them with no warning.
My heart and prayers go out to all of you. I have Andrew’s name on my prayer list. I’m praying for strength and peace. Please know that you are loved. God is with you, dear ones.
Persisting in joyous prayer for Andrew!
