How beautiful is that. The way she is crying shows she was raised in a healthy, beautiful and thriving environment. The kids so eager to leave always shows red flags to me because I was one of them. You did a fabulous job raising her. 💖
I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry watching this video. I've been a viewer since The Mom's View (California days). I feel like you've all been talking about this day for so long, and it finally happened! I remember moving away for college and my family and I having a little cry session right before they drove away. It was so hard those first few weeks, but it did get easier. Being able to talk on the phone or video chat did help. Seeing how hard it was for you all to say goodbye says a lot about your bond as a family. Brailee is going to learn SO much about herself during this time, and maybe find her passions! She'll be home before you know it.
I’m 30 and I still live with my parents, and don’t intend on moving out. My sister and her husband live here too. My boyfriend doesn’t sleep here, but lives 1 minute away and spends most of his time here. We’re a close knit Italian family and we all do our part to keep the household running. We share meals every night and talk about our days, and I can’t imagine wanting to leave this love and support system. Life is too short and family is what I value most, as well as simple living. The western independence ideal has always confused me. My friends all moved out and are chronically stressed, depressed, lonely, seeking and searching. If I was treated poorly or unhappy, of course I’d leave, but I’m very fulfilled! Just thought I’d share because I agree with your feeling on that.
I definitely understand where you are coming from. I lived with my parents until I was 30, and am so grateful for our bond. However, I felt I didn’t truly come into my own until I left home. Becoming totally independent on myself changed me in ways it’s hard to put into words. I still talk to my parents almost every day and our relationship hasn’t suffered a bit. Not telling you to leave, but please don’t rule it out.
They're trying not to say where she's going for her safety. Respect their privacy ya'll. She's going to make life long memories and gain character building skills.
@@authorgirlpetparent oh thanks I'm hard of hearing so had the words on but the words don't pick up very good it messes up the words on videos for some reason
I didn't know that I would be witnessing that pivotal moment in your families' life. That was so emotional. Many of us watched Brai growing up. Go fly little one lol I remember myself leaving at the airport and there were so many tears and more tears when I called home but I was very happy enjoying my adventures. Thank you for sharing that special moment with us ♥
Thank you for sharing this tender passage in your family's story. Brai's got this! And no doubt she'll have a unique experience with stories to tell for years to come. I wish you all PEACE & LOVE.
True testament to the strong love and connection you’ve built with your baby girl. I can 100% relate and as I sit here 32 weeks pregnant with my baby girl I pray our connection is just like this
You’re so brave brailee! Even at 26, I am too scared to make a move that big. It’s inspiring to see you dive into adulthood, you’re going to learn&grow so much. Have fun, call home as often as you need ❤ you got this girl 💪🏻
About 10 years ago i went to England by myself for 2 weeks and I sobbed so hard leaving my mom. I could not imagine 4 months. 30 years old and I could never. So proud of BraiBrai💖
My daughter left from Canada to Wales almost 6 monthes ago. She will be back in 5 days. I totally get what you're going through but believe me, the time will go by so fast. Being able to do facetime makes a huge difference. The first few weeks will be the toughest.
Awe! You got this Braily and Butler family! Don’t forget the Power of the tongue: “I have anxiety” < “I FEEL anxiety but I AM not afraid. God is with me.” Praying for you guys! This will become easier as time goes on. I moved out of my parents house in 2018. I’ve been right where you’re at Braily. You got this.
It has been an absolute joy to watch Brai grow up into the amazing woman you and casey have raised. I agree this will be a experience she will look back on and be so grateful for. Loved Winston's word of encouragement too. It was fun to watch this video after watching the pregnancy's one, cause time is going to fly by with everything you will be getting ready for now. Love to your amazing family.💕💕❤❤💖💖
re cursing LOL we were going to my aunts house and I said to my son no cursing, he was prob your age at the time, he said after it was THE hardest thing to not curse in front of my aunt and cousin LOL he doesn't curse much anymore
Sobbed the whole time with you. 😭 Stopped the video and said a little prayer for Brai and the rest of the family! Sending my love, hoping the next 4 months goes fast and smooth! 💐💛
I'm totally not also ugly crying while watching this.... I feel like we've all watched Brailee grow up and are so proud of her as well but anyone who has left home before knows just how hard it is. Especially under the circumstances of not being able to come home whenever you want and all the restrictions and stuff she has. Makes me so emotional but still so proud of Brailee! 4 months will fly by and she will have such a great time down there but anything worth experiencing is never easy in the beginning! Good luck to you Brai and I can't wait to here all about your trip when you get back!
I traveled for the first time by myself this year, I was so nervous but had such a great time.She’s gonna come back with such amazing stories, I can’t wait to hear them!
My prayers are with you all. I completely understand and having them with you somewhat keeps them safer. My son is almost 20 and moved out about 6 months ago and now is renting a house and it's so crazy because it's been me n him for so long so co-defendant on him. So very Proud of the man I've raised, he graduated h.s last year and earned his Eagle Scout! ❤ much love from one Mama to another and btw Congratulations on your lil one on the way! 🙏👣
I know how you guys feel completely. I moved 14 hours away from home for college. It was very sad giving one last hug to my family, my mom amd boyfriend especially. The thing that helps me the most is being able to talk to them every single day. I call my mom everyday as soon as she gets off work, and my boyfriend and I facetime every night before I go to sleep. I did cry during this video. I have been watching for a while and I have seen brai grow up and become this beautiful and amazing young lady. I wish all of you the best.Brai will be home before you know it.
As a mom I totally understand what you are going through. I wish so much to turn back time and live those days all over again. I was amazed at how well you were holding up. Thank goodness she will be back in 4 months. The time will fly by. The rest of your family keeps you very busy. Sending you hugs.
I traveled out of the country without my parents around her age and it was super scary. But coming back with so many memories, gifts and stuff for them made it all worth it in the end. Have fun Brai
Thank you so much for sharing. Watching her grow into a beautiful young lady has been amazing. I was crying right along with y’all. Sending lots of hugs to you mama. You’re doing an amazing job ❤ Can’t wait to hear all about it from Brai 😊
I went to Europe solo and on a YA group trip at for almost 4 months at 18. Being homesick goes away and then you don't want to go home. It'll be an adventure.
This was so bittersweet to watch! Cry it out girlfriend!! I cried every move-in day of college. All four years. There is no shame in feeling your feelings. You will do great things!!
Thank you so much for sharing such a precious moment with us. Time will go by really fast and she’ll be back in no time with so many stories to share with you all ❤
You have raised a smart, strong, independent daughter in Brailee. She is going to do so much in life. I am going to be crying my eyes out next year when my last baby becomes an adult.
She is going to do amazing work! It will be hard on her but man she is soooo courageous to be doing this!! What great memories! Can't wait to hear all of her adventures!!!
You and Casey have raised an amazing human!! Brailee will thrive! I Have a been a supporter for a very long time. I am crying watching this, but I know it's see you later, never goodbye. 🤗
The time will FLY by. She’ll be back home before you know it! Coming from a 24 y/o that feels like I was a freshman in college just yesterday but it’s been 6 freaking years! So proud of her I can’t believe how long I’ve been watching, and how far all the kids have come! ❤
Its so crazy following ur family’s journey for the past 10+ years i feel like u are all an extended family members to me .. I cried watching her at the airport because that was my exact feelings when i left home at 20 .. congratulations on ur happy news .. one will join as the older one left .. that’s a beautiful life ❤ God bless
Time is a thief, my son starts college Tuesday .. my one and only .. the silence kills me. You aren’t alone in those feelings I cry daily❤hugs to you and the fam.
There’s a song by Carrie Underwood called, “Don’t Forget To Remember Me”. Reminds me of when my daughter left to College. Makes me cry every time. Look it up.
May 28, 2014-the date my daughter and her bf (now husband) moved from Cleveland to Orlando, to their “big kid” jobs and life. Since then, they got married, have had two kids, have bought a house and are doing great-living their dream. We talk every day and still have a very strong relationship. To get through it all, I just keep reminding myself that this is what I always wanted… strong confident and independent people. Just keep repeating “roots and wings” and pray- a lot. It will all be ok!
Sweet Brai ❤❤ She’s off on the first of a lifetime of adventures! Such a beautiful time in her life. You have raised her into such a beautiful young woman, and I can’t wait to watch her soar! ❤❤
This journey will make you stronger and most of all, your daughter stronger. All the best, I've been watching since your middle son was a baby, so this is crazy to see your oldest grown up. ❤😊
This is making me reflect on when I left home for university. I wasn't sad at all. I was so excited. Don't remember getting homesick at all. But now I'm thinking about how my mom was during that time. She was probably a mess.
I've been putting off watching this video 😢 then my father in law had a heart attack but hes ok now. A bird leaving the nest and now a new 1 on the way ❤ wow what a beautiful Family Kayli, thank you for sharing your life with us, I've been here since before Winston. You and your Family has gotten me through such tough times. Love you guys ❤
Aww Brailee! We’re all as moms and dads and friends and fans so proud of you! The time will fly and you’ll be back from an amazing opportunity in your life. Great job and congratulations on all your achievements. You all are amazing!
When I was 19 I moved from Vancouver to Toronto, to live with my boyfriend. I lived away for 5 years. Now we’re back living close to my family, but im so glad I did that!
Kayli You are truly the very best mama to your children! Trust in the path you are on there is a reason for everything! When one door shuts Another one opens! Remember you said her up with the very best She can be! Great job Kayli
She's gonna do great!! You'll be okay, both of you will be okay. My daughter goes to her Dad's for 2 months every summer ( not exactly the same) it was hard the first time, but now the time flies past and it's over before i know it. She is talking about moving to a different State for college~
Aw she's going to enjoy it so much. This is such a forming period in life and the independence will be so healthy for her. I had that when i was younger and it helped so much. ❤ time will fly dont worry.
I am the same as Brailee when leaving my family. I moved out my family home this year and it was so so difficult for me. But what gave me some solace was thinking, how lucky I am to have a wonderful family that is worth missing.
Good luck to Braillee, hope she has a great time 🎉Yeah so hard to see our babies all grown up. My oldest is 19 and it feel like yesterday he was 5 or 6. Be proud of the amazing job you both did raising her! She’s a beautiful, sweet young woman ❤
My daughter is turning 13 this week and I am loosing my mind over that! I can’t imagine what you are going through! I’m sure it doesn’t help that you are pregnant and hormonal! Although this is hard she is doing something so great! I pray that God gives you peace and strength! Sending my love from WA state 🌲
Aw❤ I did something like this 10 years ago when I was her age. You learn so much so fast. I cringe when I look back on how naive I was to living and being on my own, but I grew so so much and it really shapes you.
Kayli the wonderful thing is she’s doing this at such a young age that anything she does after this will be so much easier. You know what to expect, you have confidence in yourself it will be the best thing for her and you! ❤
This will make brai grow up so much more than she’s already grown! She will be just fine! 4 months is sooo short and will fly back! It will be the best thing that ever happens to her. I recommend speaking as least amount as possible. She needs to embrace the culture of where she is going, she will pick up on the language a lot of she’s not speaking English
My poor mama has her kids all over the world living our own lives. She’s proud of us but I know it’s hard. It does make our reunions always do special and epic. Stay strong Kayli! 💙
I feel you Kayli. My 19 yo dtr just got home after a 3 mos adventure. From 🇨🇦 to 🇺🇸 and I was a mess. It got slightly less…painful/ confusing after a month and then I visited her at 2 mos and then I was ok. Now she’s home and seeking her next adventure. I’m still processing that she’s not home forever and will be leaving again. 😢 🙂
It sounds like she's with a group of girls all doing the same thing. It sounds fun. I bet she'll really enjoy it and maybe even become a leader of the group. She'll definitely come back more confident.
Here's hoping the next four months will go quick for you and based on the time frame she will be home just about in time for Christmas so that will be a holiday to look especially forward to this year 😊
I know exactly how she feels only right before the last two of my children left my parents passed,and then suddenly my husband died. Remember how lucky you are for who you do still have left in your life.
So funny your guys full blown conversation while looking in the mirror at eachother lol So proud of Brailee and congratulations on #5!!! Can’t believe all of the exciting things going on your guys lives
I went away for university and then moved back in with my parents until I was 25! I love being home with my family and it is completely normal in the UK to be doing that!! As a daughter, i know what you mean about it feeling unnatural to not all be together!
Holy … this was a super super hard video 😢😢😢😢.. bawling doesn’t explain how I was / am .. I 100% get this , I went through it 6 times and I have to say at 60 it’s a sad time every time I say good bye .. I know it would be easier if I had a partner..She’s gonna be missed🇨🇦♥️😘🙏🏽👏🏽😢💎👍🏽💯
Don't mind me over here balling my eyes out with you Kayli. It is tough to be apart, but she is an amazing person and is going to have such a great experience. She will look back on this experience for her whole life!
seeing you guys say goodbye to Brailee made me cry hope the four months goes by so fast for you guys. I love watching everyone growing up wow i have been watching your vlogs for years and seen the children all grow up wow
How beautiful is that. The way she is crying shows she was raised in a healthy, beautiful and thriving environment. The kids so eager to leave always shows red flags to me because I was one of them. You did a fabulous job raising her. 💖

I haven't watched in awhile; what is she leaving to do?
@@authorgirlpetparentmost likely college
@@ForrestFam22 they mention in vid that it's not college.
@@authorgirlpetparent oh thanks I'm hard of hearing so had the words on but the words don't pick up very good it messes up the words on videos for some reason
I think she’s teaching English abroad somewhere based on what they’re saying
I'm so thankful for having been allowed to watch Brailee grow up, mature and now taking this big step. She's such a beautiful young woman!!
"no one's crying" ...just goes to show how much she loves. appreciates and will miss her family. And what a blessing that is
This has me in tears. She is going to be missed so much but know she will be back!! Love you guys!
Winston giving Brailee a pep talk at 12:33 has set me off 😢😢😢 she is so loved!
4 months is going to go pretty quick! Hang in there Kaylee! ❤

Awe! You got this Braily and Butler family!
Don’t forget the Power of the tongue:

Is there a video that talks about where she’s going and what she’s doing?
They will discuss when she gets back in 4 months

Aww Brailee! We’re all as moms and dads and friends and fans so proud of you! The time will fly and you’ll be back from an amazing opportunity in your life. Great job and congratulations on all your achievements. You all are amazing!
such beautiful relationship between this family
Go brai brai!! Wow seeing
As a kid to now, so
Special
Thanks for sharing all these years!
When I was 19 I moved from Vancouver to Toronto, to live with my boyfriend. I lived away for 5 years. Now we’re back living close to my family, but im so glad I did that!
how long is she going for? and it's okay to cry! It shows how much you love your family and how happy you were living with them 💖
Kayli You are truly the very best mama to your children! Trust in the path you are on there is a reason for everything! When one door shuts Another one opens! Remember you said her up with the very best She can be! Great job Kayli
She's gonna do great!! You'll be okay, both of you will be okay. My daughter goes to her Dad's for 2 months every summer ( not exactly the same) it was hard the first time, but now the time flies past and it's over before i know it. She is talking about moving to a different State for college~
Aw she's going to enjoy it so much. This is such a forming period in life and the independence will be so healthy for her. I had that when i was younger and it helped so much. ❤ time will fly dont worry.

Good luck to Braillee, hope she has a great time 🎉Yeah so hard to see our babies all grown up. My oldest is 19 and it feel like yesterday he was 5 or 6. Be proud of the amazing job you both did raising her! She’s a beautiful, sweet young woman ❤
😢 So happy for Brai! But Mama I can image what your are feeling. I’m crying right there with you!! Prayers to you all and prayers and love to Brailee!
My daughter is turning 13 this week and I am loosing my mind over that! I can’t imagine what you are going through! I’m sure it doesn’t help that you are pregnant and hormonal! Although this is hard she is doing something so great! I pray that God gives you peace and strength! Sending my love from WA state 🌲
i totally get how brailee is feeling I hope she had a good time!
what an incredible opportunity! I know time will flyyy by. 4 months will have come and gone before you know it. Have the best time sweet girl!
Winston is so gentle ❤
You have such a beautiful family. I can’t wait for the return home vlog. Praying for you & your husband to be comforted during these next 4 months.
Aw❤ I did something like this 10 years ago when I was her age. You learn so much so fast. I cringe when I look back on how naive I was to living and being on my own, but I grew so so much and it really shapes you.
This is wonderful, Kayli!😢😊. Brailee is going out of town and...she will miss you so much. Let's pray for her for our hearts.💙🌷🙏💖👍
Kayli the wonderful thing is she’s doing this at such a young age that anything she does after this will be so much easier. You know what to expect, you have confidence in yourself it will be the best thing for her and you! ❤
This will make brai grow up so much more than she’s already grown! She will be just fine! 4 months is sooo short and will fly back! It will be the best thing that ever happens to her. I recommend speaking as least amount as possible. She needs to embrace the culture of where she is going, she will pick up on the language a lot of she’s not speaking English
Where is she? Hang in there!!
Wishing Brailee and your family all the best! She's going to share so many stories with you all, sending love 💖
My poor mama has her kids all over the world living our own lives. She’s proud of us but I know it’s hard. It does make our reunions always do special and epic. Stay strong Kayli! 💙
I feel you Kayli. My 19 yo dtr just got home after a 3 mos adventure. From 🇨🇦 to 🇺🇸 and I was a mess. It got slightly less…painful/ confusing after a month and then I visited her at 2 mos and then I was ok. Now she’s home and seeking her next adventure. I’m still processing that she’s not home forever and will be leaving again. 😢 🙂
It sounds like she's with a group of girls all doing the same thing. It sounds fun. I bet she'll really enjoy it and maybe even become a leader of the group. She'll definitely come back more confident.
The still @17:18 belongs on the cover of Life magazine!!!!!
Even at 30, I still cry a little when I leave my parents/ they leave my house from visiting for the day.
Awes you got this Brayli you will get this amazing experience ❤
why am i crying 😭 congratulations brailee! travel safe!!
As a momma, I just know your heart is a mess. Prayers for safety as she spreads her wings ❤️
Brailee stay strong i bet so hard being an big sister to leave her little baby brothers and sister
Here's hoping the next four months will go quick for you and based on the time frame she will be home just about in time for Christmas so that will be a holiday to look especially forward to this year 😊
I know exactly how she feels only right before the last two of my children left my parents passed,and then suddenly my husband died. Remember how lucky you are for who you do still have left in your life.
Would someone be able to share what kind of a trip this is …. It not college ….. is it a mission of sorts ……
Just watched this was holding off I cried my eyes out I'm a mom of a teenager who is thinking about a mission so proud of him but it hits hard ❤❤❤❤
I remember when she was so little running with Avia and the rest of the kids now she is all grown up wow
So funny your guys full blown conversation while looking in the mirror at eachother lol
So proud of Brailee and congratulations on #5!!! Can’t believe all of the exciting things going on your guys lives
I went away for university and then moved back in with my parents until I was 25! I love being home with my family and it is completely normal in the UK to be doing that!! As a daughter, i know what you mean about it feeling unnatural to not all be together!
Going to miss you so much Braillee stay safe ❤
You will be okay🥺❤️ she will be okay❤️ sending love to your family !
And have fun Brailee !! Such an amazing opportunity !
She will do great.
She is so lucky to have your support! I hope she has an amazing time. ❤
Holy … this was a super super hard video 😢😢😢😢.. bawling doesn’t explain how I was / am .. I 100% get this , I went through it 6 times and I have to say at 60 it’s a sad time every time I say good bye .. I know it would be easier if I had a partner..She’s gonna be missed🇨🇦♥️😘🙏🏽👏🏽😢💎👍🏽💯
Love the videos but I know something that helped me when my sons left for college etc is therapy is a MUST
Don't mind me over here balling my eyes out with you Kayli. It is tough to be apart, but she is an amazing person and is going to have such a great experience. She will look back on this experience for her whole life!
seeing you guys say goodbye to Brailee made me cry hope the four months goes by so fast for you guys. I love watching everyone growing up wow i have been watching your vlogs for years and seen the children all grow up wow
4 months will fly by, and she'll be back with so much more knowledge!
