I cried with you about Amy. She’s always with you. Hang in there girl. Lean into it. Talk about it. Cry. Then remember your why. Always enjoy seeing you even when it’s brutally honest and real. Much love and hugs.
Sandi, Im a mid 50's guy who's life did not turn out as well as I'd would of liked. I struggle a lot with depression and take medications to keep the lows from being too low. But I wanted to let you know that your smiling face and can do attitude has been a great blessing and encouragement to me. Your love for Amy and the grief you feel for her loss reminds me that quitting life is irreversible and the pain which you leave behind cannot be undone. Thank you
My Dr t. Put me on venlafaxine which the pharmacy tells me is a mood alteral . Hope I spelled that right. Often I forget to take it but I seem to remain stable. I feel like crying sometimes so I do and Iam still alright. You're not alone. Greetings from Florida (north) I live in the Santa Fe _ itchtu
Dear Sandi, know that is all right to mourn for family and friends! There is no time limit to mourning! Those who have touched our lives leave us with precious memories and if tears come with remembrance, I say let them flow. Tears are exclamations of our love and appreciation. Our son lived for 28 months following a diagnosis of glioblastoma-blastoma brain cancer. It’s been 8 years. I still cry and laugh with my memories and that good, because he is worth it! I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔🙏🏻🧡
I remember Amy. When she passed I could not watch you for quite sometime. I can only imagine your sadness. I have returned to watch every video you share and am now going back to view the ones I missed.
Sandi, I am a 64 yr old woman. My life has not been what I planned, but I make it work. I must say I have been disabled for about 15 years. I love watching you and your time with your kids and sheep. I like watching the farm work, my husband had a cousin with a farm. I used to help milk cows when they needed help. I miss their farm, it is still there and being worked but I can't drive to get there. My husband also passed away 20 years ago. I love what you do and it makes me happy.
Not a farm girl at all, but as a doctor I can certainly relate to that feeling of recognizing the will to fight in some of my patients, and that silly smile we get when someone who was touch and go becomes someone who's on the mend and has an appetite again. So happy for you Sandy! It hurts like hell when we lose some, but damn, there's no better feelling than winning some. Sorry for the ewe and the premie lambs. but thank you for sharing your world with us. It has been beyond therapeutic this year.
pipitameruje thanks for all you do dr. I appreciate all the hours you put in. Sandi is awesome to share her life on the farm, even the bad with the good. Please stay safe everyone.
“You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don’t give up.” ―Chuck Yeager. very true
This vlog hit me real hard when I saw you cry for your friend. My husband who was my best friend has been dead for 6 years and it hurts so much this time of the year so bad. People tell me to get over it and it should be getting easier but it isn't. You are the most real person on youtube and I respect you so much and I look forward to every day with glee in my heart for new vlogs. I love you and will be praying for you and your wonderful family. Keep up the great work.
I know it’s been over a year since you wrote this but it raised so much anger in me I had to write. People who think you should “get over” the loss of a spouse are incapable of understanding the depth of the connection you had with him. I don’t think missing someone ever gets ‘easier’. It may be that you don’t have the gut-wrenching ache 100% of every day as time goes on. That does not at all mean that it’s easier. It means your mind is preparing you to continue making new connections and having experiences that are not things you and he would have shared. The key here? You are absolutely grieving the way that is appropriate for you. If you ever need help doing your daily activities or feel so stuck you want to give up, please contact anyone who can help you get to a counselor who will help create individualized coping mechanisms to do those specific things. Missing those we love is okay. Love doesn’t abruptly stop simply because the person is no longer physically here. Sometimes the best way of honoring the love shared is to live a life as full as possible. That includes remembering the past, recognizing its importance, and being thankful we had the time we did with those who are gone yet still going forward with things we want to try. I know that was wordy. Christmas Eve was the 46th anniversary of my oldest cousin’s death. She would have been 71 this year. I was 11 at the time and losing her was like losing a big sister as she and my mom were only 4yrs apart (uncle was 18 when my mother was born). I still cry every year. Some years it’s for a few minutes and some years it’s for longer. I choose to allow myself those tears so when I learn of another person’s journey with grief, I respond with as much compassion as I wish others would.
P.O. I'm so sorry you have been having such a rough time of it. I eagerly await each new posting! I'm also binge watching the past episodes and still catching new things. Please keep up the good work, Sandi. That you show such caring for each and every sheep and mourn your losses is a measure of what a good heart you have. That you can show us the bad and hard times along with the good times is a measure of how open you are with all of us, farmers and armchair kibbitzers alike. Love, respect, and bear hugs, from a 70 yr old armchair viewer.
Sandy I am very thankful for you sharing your sheep and life on the farm. I lost my son to covid 19 on Nov.8th. You, Billy, Bella and the sheep, and your family are a light in the darkness right now.
We will love you through your sadness. You are precious. Picture thousands of arms around you. The outpouring of the love we have for you and yours through the ups and downs is palpable.
USA/Texas here... I'm thankful that you let us be apart of your life and family. I absolutely love and respect that you just do you and keep it real. I'm very sorry for your communities loss. Always look forward to your life stories. You have my greatest respect for how you treat your lambs. Even though they are bred and raised for meat, you don't treat that as just a source of income or property. You give them love, attention, and the best quality of life that you can while they're with you. That is to be commended! Happy Holidays and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Grief is an odd thing and each of us deals with in differently. It can come and go and then it can hide for some time. You do what you need to make it through. Hugs to you from someone who lost her mom 30 years ago and still has her ups and downs.
Ps, has anyone ever told you what loving, gentle, kind hands you have. I really noticed with all the care this ewe needed. Every day in every way you make me proud.😁
Last Christmas you saved me. After the losing my husband of 40 years, I could not Focus on anything. Your lambs and lambing helped me sooo much. The way you explained how lambs act , The way they won't step into a shadows and other things that you taught us, reminded me so much Of how Jesus thought of us. That we were sheep that only Obeyed one master. How we should stay out of dark shadows and Dark Places. You do not know how much I thank you. How you take time to explain things. We have a family member that is fighting the virus at 49, And today we lost a family member with the virus at 93. The 49 year old they are not giving much hope. But I know God will do miracles And I don't believe she's done with her work yet. Once again I pour myself into your Christmas lambing. Please know you help a lot of people at this time, when they can't get out And they're stuck in the house I have went through cancer and chemo so I am one of those who is stuck in their house. You do such a great job and you love your lambs. It shows and anyone who says it doesn't, does not know you. I pray blessings and safety to all of God's children
I hope all goes well with the 49 year old. It is so frustrating, this virus doesn't care who it cuts dwn. It seems to me you and your family have suffered enough. My thoughts are with you.
@@marionward5958 When you have taking kids off the street that was on drugs and alcohol and give them a home you're going to go through sufferings. I just didn't realize how much the suffering would be. But to suffer for Jesus in righteousness will be worth it all when we get to heaven. Thank you so much for your comment and your prayers
Sandi. You are a very Beutiful lady we all shead tears when you shead tears from missed loved ones. Then we laugh when you laugh, we love to walk along with Mark and you. A plus is seeing the kid's helping is just icing on the cake. Please Take Care of Your Self be safe around all Farm Equipment.
Sometimes you just miss someone you loved to be with so much; out of nowhere it's just back again. I think that at that moment they let us now they're still there for us, though in another form. The happy memories will be back in between the tears. Keep on going girl.
I feel like it's the same. Sometimes those moments are so random too. It makes me wonder if it's our soul recognizing the touch of their spirit that makes it come out of nowhere like that.
Fighting & Loss seems to be the theme of this year! We fight each day hoping to get 1 day closer to an end, that seems to be No where in site. Loss - to those we care about & love. I've had family & friends which had covid, battling recovery & death. Im like you! Smile an power through. You've blessed me your Smile, Compassion, an laughing at you trying not to fall in a cow paddy! I Just Want to say Thank You for being TRUE to YOURSELF!!🐑🐑🥳🥳🥳 Blessings from cold Minnesota
Good Luck On VLOGMAS. I found your channel last yr during Volgmas and Can't believe it's been a YEAR!! Watching your channel has been such a joy and I always feel like I have a far away friend with you. Thanks for always being your genuine self and for not being afraid to share the good and the bad.
Talking in my doctor voice, “back pain” stretch, try yoga and proper lifting technique. You are awesome and caring. My first medical practice was Orthopaedic Oncology, it was so hard watching patients fight and lose their battle, but was such a satisfying feeling when they won their battles. Thank you for being so real.
It is easy to see how much you care for your family, friends and your animals. Emotion is a good thing and it is OK and health to express it. We all have people in our lives we have lost and miss. Certain things trigger memories and remind us they are gone but we can remember the good times time we had with them. It reminds us that someone thought we were worthy of the love the left within us. It is there to draw on when we need it. In your relationships with your family and friends you are doing the same. You are depositing that love for the future when they need it. In time your children will remember the things you do for and with them that you think are small and insignificant as memorable and very significant in their lives and it will warm their hearts.
Nothing like a little miracle with your ewe. Keep those people you lose in your heart with a warm memory. Trust me you will be sad for a moment and then that memory will flood in and your heart will be happy and that my dear Ms Sandi is how I have survived my losses. Your biggest Colorado fan. 😘
Sandi, I want you to truly know how much your videos really do mean to me. Im not a sheep farmer nor will I probably ever be but I love watching every moment of every video you post and come 12pm daily im always looking forward to the next video. What you do does matter and the fact that you do open up about your struggles with emotions really hits home for me. I too struggle from time to time. I wish in a simple comment such as this I could really express how watching your videos has not only helped me deal with my issues but also given me hope that things do get better. Thank you so much for everything you do for us and thank you for continuing to keep going!
Hi again SANDI So much to be thankful for all of us have. I know for sure there is a bright spot a positive if we just look for it. The loss is tough an empty spot in our life when losing someone we love. But to think how blessed we were to know and love them! Imagine what life vfc we like if they never were in our lives in the first place. I remember that saying better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. So I do believe we must celebrate them smile and laugh at all the wonderful and special times and how our lives changed because ok f them. That we do for ourselves knowing that's how they would want it.
Sandi a loss is hard at anytime of the year, but I find it hard at this time of the year. Remembering the people in our lives that touch us deeply is the greatest gift they leave us with. I am sorry for your loss.
Jaysus that was a rough one to watch. My wife asked me why i was crying and i said i i'm not crying i just got something in my eye. Thank You for being so honest with the ups and downs of your journey as a human being and a farmer.
Aww sandi . Im so sorry your dear friend is gone ... in the last 7 months . Both my inlaws died . And with lock downs and trying to protect them as much as we could. We didn't see them as much . Has been very very hard on us as a family .. sending you hugs and love from across the pond. Xx
You really are a special person Sandi, you have such a good heart. You are an amazing sheep farmer that persists where other people would fail. You wear your heart on your sleeves, and that is why you are so relatable to all your UA-cam family. Take care Sandi and I wish you the best in all your incredible achievements 💖💖💖
Hi Sandi! Nurse here. We have to use proper body mechanics when lifting and moving items. Bend at the knees when you to lift something heavy, even if it only weights 20 lbs. When you lift an item, keep the item close to your body. When you lift something and need to turn to move the item to another place, do not lift the item and twist your body. Lift the item, then turn your body by moving your feet and walk towards where you want to go (no twisting your torso). When you have to lift a heavy gate, bend your knees, lift the gate, keep the gate close to your body, walk to where you need to place it, then bend at the knees to put the gate down. Improper body mechanics causes back pain very easily. I think it would be a good investment for you to make some slight renovations in the older barn across the street. The gates should be secured on a post and be able to swing open and closed so you don't have to lift them. Some people end up with life long back injuries and are unable to work. If you could hire a physiotherapist they would be able to help you and your family with proper body mechanics around the farm. Also, I live less than two hours away from you and I would love to come show you proper body mechanics and I am free of charge! Love your videos!
What a lovely human you are! I hope Sandi saw your comment. I'm 2 years late, filling in from 1 to where I started somewhere in the late 500's. If you didn't hear from her, I'd suggest DM-ing her. As a retired hospice and palliative care, and osteopathic family physician, what you are offering is a terrific 🎁.
Kinsey is sooooo darn smart. She is just adorable. Sorry for your loss Sandi. Life is very difficult. Thank you for sharing yours with us. It is good to remind each other that things get hard but we have each other.
Such a beautiful soul you are. After my farm body gave out, I became a psychologist so I could put my empathy skills to use. We empaths (I'm looking at you, sister) are so sensitive which is a blessing and a curse. It makes us more creative and in tune with others, however, we feel things so deeply that it can affect our health. I get migraines after a stressful event and all that blood can finally rush to my head. It's so maddening! You deserve every good thing that comes your way. I can see your self esteem heightening as each year goes by. Your people love you and I'm one of 'em! Yay for the ewe and the care she received from you and Carissa!
Sandy, Just know you are loved and respected! This has been a horrible year for so many and dealing with loss never goes away buts lessens with time. Once someone is in your heart they will always have a piece of it! Stay strong, Stay healthy!
If I see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile. Santosh Kalwar Always keeping a good thought for you and your family.
Virtual hugs for you. Remember you are never alone. You have your family, sheep, and us viewers. We all will give you a listening ear and (the humans at least) a hug (real or virtual) when needed. Remember though, those you've lost are never really gone so long as there are those left who remember them.
Sweetie , a bloody good cry can really work wonders .. I advise to have a good howl every month or so .....we women ( and men ) usually keep on going and don’t always let out the sadness as we go along so it builds up and if we don’t have a big de stress cry every so often it can really become so much worse .....I find if I watch a sad movie before bedtime and have a good bawl I wake up feeling lighter and less stressed ..( even if my eyes are puffy ) love your channel , I’ve watched pretty much all your videos and enjoy watching the day to day , the happy , the sad and the wonder of birth .....but yeah, have a good cry now and again, it doesn’t mean that you are weak , it means you’re human . Love from Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺
That ewe is a fighter, like you. Never give up.just pick yourself back up and keep on going. You are amazing, and it’s normal to have off days. Amy was a gift, and over time I’m sure her memories will be only the happy ones. It takes time to heal a big wound. Lots of love and prayers.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
You're so awesome Sandy . I lost my daughter at 28. Times are hard but you make me smile. You pick me up and I love you for that. Keep on doing what you do ! Applause !!!
Sandi, we love you. Hang in there. So glad you are honest about your emotions. Times can be tough. But we support you regardless. Go enjoy your chocolate.....it will melt any sadness. We support ya.
Sandi, you feeling things so deeply just shows how big a heart you have. You are a very caring, loving person. It’s one of the reasons we keep coming back. You are a real person with a hard working family that love each other. Blessings on you, your family and all your animals.
Absolutely loved this video. I laughed, I cried with you, I smiled. What more can you ask of a person then to see and feel their emotions. My best friend died going on three years ago. Like you, I have good memories, and down so low when I realize I can never talk or laugh about our day. I'm so sorry for your heart breaks. I really do understand. Love ya
I so much appreciate you sharing also the things that move you. Not just sharing the things you like, but also the parts where you share more intimate feelings.
Loss of a loved one and the feelings and memories associated with them are so bitter sweet. They creep up on us when we least expect them, sometimes so welcomed and other so painful. Xo Much love and comfort to those who are impacted by this loss, it’s so sad.
I’m sorry for the loss of someone so precious to your community. I so appreciate your authenticity and your willingness to share your heart so freely! Looking forward to Vlogmas!
Your human side is so great to see. You share the side of you that is not shared often. To see the great in others is so wonderful. Not all of us can do that. Your migraine is a sign you are holding on to feelings you are feeling about the loses in your circles. It can be hard to let go of work and just shut down for a bit. Crying can wash the pain and missing others away. It is ok to cry. Humans who are in touch with themselves have the release of crying and grieving. You need a hug? Here is one from me to you. HUGGS!
Sandi, remember that you always have Amy with you in your heart. And it is ok to feel it tucking at you at times, it cements your bond tighter. And by sharing her story and memories, you will keep her alive right there, in your heart, but also in our hearts. Prayers for you and your ewe.
So sorry for the loss of your ewe and two babies. I am so thankful you fight for your sheep. You have such a beautiful heart. I hope you have a blessed week. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Your ewe lamb's eyes look fine at the end of your video, but a great product to have in your vet box is Vetericyn spray. It is excellent for all types wounds and safe for eyes. So many ups and downs for you this week, hoping your successes will pick your spirits up. I'm sure the turtles would be helpful! Sorry for the loss of your friend in the Ag community, it's especially hard when you lose someone to suicide. I've no doubt your openness about your own mental health, here, has helped many, many people maybe even saved someone. I'm sure he'd be proud of you for carrying the torch and helping educate people about farming.
I send you prayers, the loss of someone dear will forever effect you, it just means you have a huge heart and wonderful people in your life. You're amazing and I love you sharing your good days and ruff days. I know most everyone can sympathize with you and our hearts ache to know you're in pain. My belief is the ones who left us are a step away watching from a distance and waiting for us to join them in heaven. Much love to you beautiful lady 🙏
Ahhh Sandi, bless your heart ❤️ you know I think of you as one of those who wears their heart on their sleeve. I for one am glad you share even the hard losses. Your memories of Amy will be with you forever. ❤️ The dorothy lynch dressing is a midwestern favorite! We love it! I hope that you are able to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones!
Blimey Sandi i ended up crying my eyes, something i needed to do for days. I have post op blues, having to isolate alone, family and friends popping by on doorstep visits, sending you extra big hugs, its good to let your feelings out. These flipping lock downs are so awful. Hugs to anyone watching who needs them xxxx
Hi Sandy hope you having an amazing day. My Grandfather was very well known by our community aswell and he passed last year. You or mark may know him his name was MAYNARD CRESSMAN he was from Breslau Ontario. Me and my family have set up funds to help with student scholarships for agriculture at the University of Guelph there has been money setup for anyone that goes to the University of Guelph the same school Jess is going to. Hope she could get some help from our family that would be amazing. We were big pig farmers with an operation of over 3000 pigs. Very hard to see him go since he was such an inspiration to us all and we miss him very much. Hard to loose a loved one or a close friend. Wishing you all the best. Blessings to you and your family. See you next video like always.
She was part of your life and you just don't trow her out like that. So it's okay to cry as you remember her. That's love sweetie. I have had migraines for over 53 years now. Still learning how to deal with it. Make sure you drink allot of water. It helps. Live you girl 💜🇦🇼💚🇦🇼💜
Great honest video Sandi! One of our mutual subscribers asked me what management system i use for the sheep. I had to explain i wasn’t as organised as you! 😅😁
Have you ever opened up about what happened to Amy? Seems as if she was very young and it was unexpected. So sorry for your loss. My dad passed away 11/11/14 . It was very hard. He was diagnosed with cancer on 9/11/14 and passed exactly 2 months later. It's always harder when its unexpected. They say time heals, but all it doesnt. It just makes the times it hits you really harder a little further and further apart, but there is always the random times it hit, plus all the significant days like birthdays, holidays, the anniversary of the passing. Thank you for always being such a beacon of strength and courage! ❤
Hi Sandi sorry you are feeling sad , it’s just because you are a lovely ,caring,compassionate person , hope your poorly lamb continues to improve and thank you for everything you do for your viewers, love from Derbyshire 🇬🇧 xxx
Wishing you and your family and friends a wonderful holiday season. I love your vlogs. You are an amazing, genuine person. I'm in Houston, Texas and being a 70 something, recently retired person has kept my husband and me in virtual lockdowm since March. It's been difficult not seeing my children and grandchildren. But I'm pretty resilient and know this pandemic will go away and there will be joy in our lives again. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Judi
Sorry for the loss within your community. My condolences to you and your community. I can so relate to your headaches. We recently lost a cousin. I've been suppressing dealing with the grief, which is the source of my headaches.
I love your openness to have real life feelings. In February, it will be 3 years since I have lost my Mom. I was preparing for Thanksgiving and had one of those moments wash over me. I had a good cry, told her that I love her and went on with my day. I also suffer from migraine headaches. When in a sensitive moment, let the tears flow instead of holding them back. It will lessen your headache. I love VlogMas. Praying for you and your sheep. Love from Illinois, USA.
I feel for you. It is soo normal because when you’ve have had losses and someone else dies, you have to revisit those loses to process the new loss. If there anything good about the processing deaths, is that you get new coping skills/friends that help you get thru the losses quicker and get to the wonderful moments quicker.
I'm an College Education Student and your Vlogs in a lot of times helps me in how I manage my school works because I have been having difficulties with studying so watching you really does help me a lot so thanks a lot
Working at UPS the holidays are a struggle with so much extra work. So glag vlogmas is coming back this year..... it was a huge help getting through the long hours at work!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Hello my Shepard friend❣️😎 I have been watching you for almost 3 years and I swear I know more about sheep than I thought I never would lol! You are a great teacher! I swear to you that as long as I’m here you never cry alone. I love when the babies are born I cry joy and heartbreak when the little ones can’t come to life. “No one cries alone in my presence.” This was said by Dolly Parton in steel magnolias and I find that true to this day. I also watch a guy called the hoof GP and cows hooves holy crap! There’s also a young man in Scotland who has a channel called ‘The sheep game’ If you’re looking to see what they do over there. I still love the Lambpeeds makes me giggle and my husband used to look at me under his lashes lol he’s wondering if I’ve gone round the corner or my cheese slid off my cracker lol but he likes your channel but he can’t watch as he’s gone blind. He’s only 35 and I’m 65☺️. We met online in 2006 in my chat room back when Microsoft still had chat and we spent 4 years talking everyday getting to know each other. I was smitten long before I knew our age difference so we got married and I now live in Abu Dhabi UAE. He spoils me rotten and I’m happy to be your subscriber❣️Hugs and giggles, Judi❣️
Get your blood pressure checked. I got migraines when my BP was too high which was connected to deep emotional trauma, Don't let it go unchecked, it could kill you. We need and would miss you more than you know. Hugs
Did a Thanksgiving trivia game yesterday and one of the questions was what other country celebrates Thanksgiving and when? And I was like, I know this because of Sandi's videos! Also, I loved watching the ewe run away from you giving her water knowing you were having problems with her getting up at all. It's frustrating when they won't let you help them, but you gotta smile at their progress.
Don’t ever feel bad about not giving up....also caution...our COVID-19 experience started with Migraines...saying a prayer. Thank you again for your commitment to the channel.
I live in the city where the Esther Price chocolates are made. We used to go trick or treating at her niece's house and she would give the kids small goodie bags of chocolates and the adults got bigger bags of chocolates. It definitely is chocolate from the Gods and we are VERY proud to be its birthplace and still its hometown so many years later!!!! I don't usually comment but I absolutely LOVE your videos and NEVER miss one. Love ya!!!💜💜💜💜🐑🐑🐑🐑
Not under lockdown here in Ohio but with cases increasing day on day we should be staying home and socially distancing. Vlogmas is going to help SO many people get through their days ! Thanks for all you do ! #brocksbringcheer
I’m so sorry about your friend/neighbor passing, losing someone breaks the heart and I know you still miss your friend, you always will. Miss Ewe is trying so hard, I 🙏🏻 she makes it.
Thank you for sharing everything you feel comfortable sharing with us. When you are upset, I feel like I was here for you. You are the sweetest and strongest person I have seen on social media. I am glad you are getting the new , lighter equipment. You can’t take care of everything to your fullest capabilities unless you take care of yourself first.
Sandi, I am so glad to see that your ewe lamb is doing better, but Im so sorry about the ewe that you had to put down. I know that you do not take that lightly, and you'd only do it if there was no other choice! We had to put down both of our dogs within 10 days of each other, this past September. It was beyond awful! I am so sorry for the loss in your community! My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and of course the farming community reeling with his passing! Much love to you, your family, and of course your flock!! Kristin from Oklahoma
You know the importance of positive reinforcement when healing, and you've definitely been that ewe's shining star in her darkest hours!!! Hang in there Sandi, things will improve for her, she's a fighter!!! I empathize with you with the loss of Amy, we had the similar situation with my husband's best friend, he too suffered with mental health and depression, and he left everyone behind on his terms. We have not had closure yet, going on 2 years, his body has not been found. I still mourn him, he was very special to my family, and I loss a special person in my life when we lost him. I am thankful for YOU and your videos!!! You always have that glowing smile and caring for your sheep is contagious!! I HAVE to get my daily fix of your videos!!! Stay positive, stay safe, stay healthy!! Thank YOU for everything you do. My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
Sandi, when I wrote before I hadn't finished it yet. Now, in the end I am so sorry that you have to cry. It makes me also sad. I am new on your chanel so I don't know all stories. But, you're a strong person and I admire your strength and positive energy.
So glad the ewe is doing better. Her eyes are more alert and clear. Give her a little time , she'll come around more and more. I admire you sticking with her condition in getting her better. 🐑
I am an Australian, & I have been to Ontario Canada Twice and love the place and the people. Cry it is OK Hugs to u and your family aand Merry Christmas to u and yours from me and mine 381
I cried with you about Amy. She’s always with you. Hang in there girl. Lean into it. Talk about it. Cry. Then remember your why. Always enjoy seeing you even when it’s brutally honest and real. Much love and hugs.
Sandi, Im a mid 50's guy who's life did not turn out as well as I'd would of liked. I struggle a lot with depression and take medications to keep the lows from being too low. But I wanted to let you know that your smiling face and can do attitude has been a great blessing and encouragement to me. Your love for Amy and the grief you feel for her loss reminds me that quitting life is irreversible and the pain which you leave behind cannot be undone. Thank you
Thank you for your openness to sharing your struggles, for the sake of others who are also going through hard times.
This is it a sweet and thoughtful message. I hope things get easier for you soon.
Ry beautiful
My Dr t. Put me on venlafaxine which the pharmacy tells me is a mood alteral . Hope I spelled that right. Often I forget to take it but I seem to remain stable. I feel like crying sometimes so I do and Iam still alright. You're not alone. Greetings from Florida (north) I live in the Santa Fe _ itchtu
It amazes me cause there is nothing she doesn't or can't do
Dear Sandi, know that is all right to mourn for family and friends! There is no time limit to mourning! Those who have touched our lives leave us with precious memories and if tears come with remembrance, I say let them flow. Tears are exclamations of our love and appreciation. Our son lived for 28 months following a diagnosis of glioblastoma-blastoma brain cancer. It’s been 8 years. I still cry and laugh with my memories and that good, because he is worth it! I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔🙏🏻🧡
I remember Amy. When she passed I could not watch you for quite sometime. I can only imagine your sadness. I have returned to watch every video you share and am now going back to view the ones I missed.
Sandi, I am a 64 yr old woman. My life has not been what I planned, but I make it work. I must say I have been disabled for about 15 years. I love watching you and your time with your kids and sheep. I like watching the farm work, my husband had a cousin with a farm. I used to help milk cows when they needed help. I miss their farm, it is still there and being worked but I can't drive to get there. My husband also passed away 20 years ago. I love what you do and it makes me happy.
Not a farm girl at all, but as a doctor I can certainly relate to that feeling of recognizing the will to fight in some of my patients, and that silly smile we get when someone who was touch and go becomes someone who's on the mend and has an appetite again.
So happy for you Sandy! It hurts like hell when we lose some, but damn, there's no better feelling than winning some. Sorry for the ewe and the premie lambs. but thank you for sharing your world with us. It has been beyond therapeutic this year.
thanks so much for this! Love it when others understand this feeling!
It’s a lesson.
totally understand i was a psw and did many palliative care cases we know they are going to pass but the fighters make it so much better hugssssssss
@@SandiBrock look into EMDR therapy. It has helped us with all the stressors of the pandemic. Cheers!
pipitameruje thanks for all you do dr. I appreciate all the hours you put in. Sandi is awesome to share her life on the farm, even the bad with the good. Please stay safe everyone.
“You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don’t give up.” ―Chuck Yeager. very true
We don't call it backing up...we call it advancing to the rear!
This vlog hit me real hard when I saw you cry for your friend. My husband who was my best friend has been dead for 6 years and it hurts so much this time of the year so bad. People tell me to get over it and it should be getting easier but it isn't. You are the most real person on youtube and I respect you so much and I look forward to every day with glee in my heart for new vlogs. I love you and will be praying for you and your wonderful family. Keep up the great work.
I know it’s been over a year since you wrote this but it raised so much anger in me I had to write. People who think you should “get over” the loss of a spouse are incapable of understanding the depth of the connection you had with him. I don’t think missing someone ever gets ‘easier’. It may be that you don’t have the gut-wrenching ache 100% of every day as time goes on. That does not at all mean that it’s easier. It means your mind is preparing you to continue making new connections and having experiences that are not things you and he would have shared.
The key here? You are absolutely grieving the way that is appropriate for you. If you ever need help doing your daily activities or feel so stuck you want to give up, please contact anyone who can help you get to a counselor who will help create individualized coping mechanisms to do those specific things. Missing those we love is okay. Love doesn’t abruptly stop simply because the person is no longer physically here. Sometimes the best way of honoring the love shared is to live a life as full as possible. That includes remembering the past, recognizing its importance, and being thankful we had the time we did with those who are gone yet still going forward with things we want to try.
I know that was wordy. Christmas Eve was the 46th anniversary of my oldest cousin’s death. She would have been 71 this year. I was 11 at the time and losing her was like losing a big sister as she and my mom were only 4yrs apart (uncle was 18 when my mother was born). I still cry every year. Some years it’s for a few minutes and some years it’s for longer. I choose to allow myself those tears so when I learn of another person’s journey with grief, I respond with as much compassion as I wish others would.
It's OK to talk about here or anywhere. Tears are just an expression of how much you loved. Prayers and good wishes!
P.O. I'm so sorry you have been having such a rough time of it. I eagerly await each new posting! I'm also binge watching the past episodes and still catching new things. Please keep up the good work, Sandi. That you show such caring for each and every sheep and mourn your losses is a measure of what a good heart you have. That you can show us the bad and hard times along with the good times is a measure of how open you are with all of us, farmers and armchair kibbitzers alike. Love, respect, and bear hugs, from a 70 yr old armchair viewer.
Hi Sandi. Cammy from The Sheep Game channel really thinks highly of you. The sheep community worldwide is awesome. Hope you and your family stay safe.
He is so amazing!!!
Sandy I am very thankful for you sharing your sheep and life on the farm. I lost my son to covid 19 on Nov.8th. You, Billy, Bella and the sheep, and your family are a light in the darkness right now.
Hi Annette. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May the memories of your son help to comfort you during this difficult time. ❤️🇨🇦
We will love you through your sadness. You are precious. Picture thousands of arms around you. The outpouring of the love we have for you and yours through the ups and downs is palpable.
USA/Texas here... I'm thankful that you let us be apart of your life and family. I absolutely love and respect that you just do you and keep it real. I'm very sorry for your communities loss. Always look forward to your life stories. You have my greatest respect for how you treat your lambs. Even though they are bred and raised for meat, you don't treat that as just a source of income or property. You give them love, attention, and the best quality of life that you can while they're with you. That is to be commended! Happy Holidays and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Hear, hear. I couldn't have put it better.
Grief is an odd thing and each of us deals with in differently. It can come and go and then it can hide for some time. You do what you need to make it through. Hugs to you from someone who lost her mom 30 years ago and still has her ups and downs.
Ps, has anyone ever told you what loving, gentle, kind hands you have. I really noticed with all the care this ewe needed. Every day in every way you make me proud.😁
Mourning someone, means you've had a very special person in your life. Embrace her memory tightly, you've been very blessed to have had her. ❣️
Last Christmas you saved me. After the losing my husband of 40 years, I could not Focus on anything. Your lambs and lambing helped me sooo much.
The way you explained how lambs act , The way they won't step into a shadows and other things that you taught us, reminded me so much Of how Jesus thought of us. That we were sheep that only Obeyed one master. How we should stay out of dark shadows and Dark Places. You do not know how much I thank you. How you take time to explain things.
We have a family member that is fighting the virus at 49, And today we lost a family member with the virus at 93. The 49 year old they are not giving much hope. But I know God will do miracles And I don't believe she's done with her work yet. Once again I pour myself into your Christmas lambing. Please know you help a lot of people at this time, when they can't get out And they're stuck in the house
I have went through cancer and chemo so I am one of those who is stuck in their house.
You do such a great job and you love your lambs. It shows and anyone who says it doesn't, does not know you.
I pray blessings and safety to all of God's children
I hope all goes well with the 49 year old. It is so frustrating, this virus doesn't care who it cuts dwn. It seems to me you and your family have suffered enough. My thoughts are with you.
@@marionward5958 When you have taking kids off the street that was on drugs and alcohol and give them a home you're going to go through sufferings. I just didn't realize how much the suffering would be. But to suffer for Jesus in righteousness will be worth it all when we get to heaven. Thank you so much for your comment and your prayers
@@heavenboundhomestead126
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for all that you do.
May God continue to bless you and your families.
Sandi.
You are a very Beutiful lady we all shead tears when you shead tears from missed loved ones. Then we laugh when you laugh, we love to walk along with Mark and you. A plus is seeing the kid's helping is just icing on the cake. Please Take Care of Your Self be safe around all Farm Equipment.
Sometimes you just miss someone you loved to be with so much; out of nowhere it's just back again. I think that at that moment they let us now they're still there for us, though in another form. The happy memories will be back in between the tears. Keep on going girl.
I feel like it's the same. Sometimes those moments are so random too. It makes me wonder if it's our soul recognizing the touch of their spirit that makes it come out of nowhere like that.
Fighting & Loss seems to be the theme of this year! We fight each day hoping to get 1 day closer to an end, that seems to be No where in site. Loss - to those we care about & love. I've had family & friends which had covid, battling recovery & death.
Im like you! Smile an power through. You've blessed me your Smile, Compassion, an laughing at you trying not to fall in a cow paddy! I Just Want to say Thank You for being TRUE to YOURSELF!!🐑🐑🥳🥳🥳
Blessings from cold Minnesota
Good Luck On VLOGMAS. I found your channel last yr during Volgmas and Can't believe it's been a YEAR!! Watching your channel has been such a joy and I always feel like I have a far away friend with you. Thanks for always being your genuine self and for not being afraid to share the good and the bad.
Talking in my doctor voice, “back pain” stretch, try yoga and proper lifting technique. You are awesome and caring. My first medical practice was Orthopaedic Oncology, it was so hard watching patients fight and lose their battle, but was such a satisfying feeling when they won their battles. Thank you for being so real.
Retired hospice and palliative care physician here. I totally agree with you. ❤
It is easy to see how much you care for your family, friends and your animals. Emotion is a good thing and it is OK and health to express it. We all have people in our lives we have lost and miss. Certain things trigger memories and remind us they are gone but we can remember the good times time we had with them. It reminds us that someone thought we were worthy of the love the left within us. It is there to draw on when we need it. In your relationships with your family and friends you are doing the same. You are depositing that love for the future when they need it. In time your children will remember the things you do for and with them that you think are small and insignificant as memorable and very significant in their lives and it will warm their hearts.
Sandi - You have the biggest heart. Please don't ever change. You show your strength when you show your vulnerabilities. What an inspiration.
Nothing like a little miracle with your ewe. Keep those people you lose in your heart with a warm memory. Trust me you will be sad for a moment and then that memory will flood in and your heart will be happy and that my dear Ms Sandi is how I have survived my losses. Your biggest Colorado fan. 😘
Sandi, I want you to truly know how much your videos really do mean to me. Im not a sheep farmer nor will I probably ever be but I love watching every moment of every video you post and come 12pm daily im always looking forward to the next video. What you do does matter and the fact that you do open up about your struggles with emotions really hits home for me. I too struggle from time to time. I wish in a simple comment such as this I could really express how watching your videos has not only helped me deal with my issues but also given me hope that things do get better. Thank you so much for everything you do for us and thank you for continuing to keep going!
Hi again SANDI
So much to be thankful for all of us have. I know for sure there is a bright spot a positive if we just look for it. The loss is tough an empty spot in our life when losing someone we love. But to think how blessed we were to know and love them! Imagine what life vfc we like if they never were in our lives in the first place. I remember that saying better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. So I do believe we must celebrate them smile and laugh at all the wonderful and special times and how our lives changed because ok f them. That we do for ourselves knowing that's how they would want it.
Sandi a loss is hard at anytime of the year, but I find it hard at this time of the year. Remembering the people in our lives that touch us deeply is the greatest gift they leave us with. I am sorry for your loss.
Jaysus that was a rough one to watch. My wife asked me why i was crying and i said i i'm not crying i just got something in my eye. Thank You for being so honest with the ups and downs of your journey as a human being and a farmer.
Aww sandi . Im so sorry your dear friend is gone ... in the last 7 months . Both my inlaws died . And with lock downs and trying to protect them as much as we could. We didn't see them as much . Has been very very hard on us as a family .. sending you hugs and love from across the pond. Xx
You really are a special person Sandi, you have such a good heart. You are an amazing sheep farmer that persists where other people would fail. You wear your heart on your sleeves, and that is why you are so relatable to all your UA-cam family. Take care Sandi and I wish you the best in all your incredible achievements 💖💖💖
Hi Sandi! Nurse here. We have to use proper body mechanics when lifting and moving items. Bend at the knees when you to lift something heavy, even if it only weights 20 lbs. When you lift an item, keep the item close to your body. When you lift something and need to turn to move the item to another place, do not lift the item and twist your body. Lift the item, then turn your body by moving your feet and walk towards where you want to go (no twisting your torso). When you have to lift a heavy gate, bend your knees, lift the gate, keep the gate close to your body, walk to where you need to place it, then bend at the knees to put the gate down. Improper body mechanics causes back pain very easily. I think it would be a good investment for you to make some slight renovations in the older barn across the street. The gates should be secured on a post and be able to swing open and closed so you don't have to lift them. Some people end up with life long back injuries and are unable to work. If you could hire a physiotherapist they would be able to help you and your family with proper body mechanics around the farm. Also, I live less than two hours away from you and I would love to come show you proper body mechanics and I am free of charge! Love your videos!
What a lovely human you are! I hope Sandi saw your comment. I'm 2 years late, filling in from 1 to where I started somewhere in the late 500's. If you didn't hear from her, I'd suggest DM-ing her. As a retired hospice and palliative care, and osteopathic family physician, what you are offering is a terrific 🎁.
Kinsey is sooooo darn smart. She is just adorable. Sorry for your loss Sandi. Life is very difficult. Thank you for sharing yours with us. It is good to remind each other that things get hard but we have each other.
Such a beautiful soul you are. After my farm body gave out, I became a psychologist so I could put my empathy skills to use. We empaths (I'm looking at you, sister) are so sensitive which is a blessing and a curse. It makes us more creative and in tune with others, however, we feel things so deeply that it can affect our health. I get migraines after a stressful event and all that blood can finally rush to my head. It's so maddening! You deserve every good thing that comes your way. I can see your self esteem heightening as each year goes by. Your people love you and I'm one of 'em! Yay for the ewe and the care she received from you and Carissa!
Sandy, Just know you are loved and respected! This has been a horrible year for so many and dealing with loss never goes away buts lessens with time. Once someone is in your heart they will always have a piece of it! Stay strong, Stay healthy!
If I see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears.
If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile. Santosh Kalwar
Always keeping a good thought for you and your family.
Virtual hugs for you. Remember you are never alone. You have your family, sheep, and us viewers. We all will give you a listening ear and (the humans at least) a hug (real or virtual) when needed. Remember though, those you've lost are never really gone so long as there are those left who remember them.
Sweetie , a bloody good cry can really work wonders .. I advise to have a good howl every month or so .....we women ( and men ) usually keep on going and don’t always let out the sadness as we go along so it builds up and if we don’t have a big de stress cry every so often it can really become so much worse .....I find if I watch a sad movie before bedtime and have a good bawl I wake up feeling lighter and less stressed ..( even if my eyes are puffy ) love your channel , I’ve watched pretty much all your videos and enjoy watching the day to day , the happy , the sad and the wonder of birth .....but yeah, have a good cry now and again, it doesn’t mean that you are weak , it means you’re human . Love from Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺
That ewe is a fighter, like you. Never give up.just pick yourself back up and keep on going. You are amazing, and it’s normal to have off days. Amy was a gift, and over time I’m sure her memories will be only the happy ones. It takes time to heal a big wound. Lots of love and prayers.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
You're so awesome Sandy . I lost my daughter at 28. Times are hard but you make me smile. You pick me up and I love you for that. Keep on doing what you do ! Applause !!!
Sandi, we love you. Hang in there. So glad you are honest about your emotions. Times can be tough. But we support you regardless. Go enjoy your chocolate.....it will melt any sadness. We support ya.
Prays for you from the USA for strength during to rough spots. And thank you for letting us all be a part of your life good and bad.
Sandi, you feeling things so deeply just shows how big a heart you have. You are a very caring, loving person. It’s one of the reasons we keep coming back. You are a real person with a hard working family that love each other. Blessings on you, your family and all your animals.
Absolutely loved this video. I laughed, I cried with you, I smiled. What more can you ask of a person then to see and feel their emotions. My best friend died going on three years ago. Like you, I have good memories, and down so low when I realize I can never talk or laugh about our day. I'm so sorry for your heart breaks. I really do understand.
Love ya
Caring means you are human! I look forward to your vids every day! Just an old goat farmer. We love you.
I so much appreciate you sharing also the things that move you. Not just sharing the things you like, but also the parts where you share more intimate feelings.
Loss of a loved one and the feelings and memories associated with them are so bitter sweet. They creep up on us when we least expect them, sometimes so welcomed and other so painful. Xo Much love and comfort to those who are impacted by this loss, it’s so sad.
I’m sorry for the loss of someone so precious to your community. I so appreciate your authenticity and your willingness to share your heart so freely! Looking forward to Vlogmas!
Your human side is so great to see. You share the side of you that is not shared often. To see the great in others is so wonderful. Not all of us can do that. Your migraine is a sign you are holding on to feelings you are feeling about the loses in your circles. It can be hard to let go of work and just shut down for a bit. Crying can wash the pain and missing others away. It is ok to cry. Humans who are in touch with themselves have the release of crying and grieving. You need a hug? Here is one from me to you. HUGGS!
Love that you are giving dog an opportunity to push the sheep. Just give her words of encouragement when she does it.
Sandi, remember that you always have Amy with you in your heart. And it is ok to feel it tucking at you at times, it cements your bond tighter. And by sharing her story and memories, you will keep her alive right there, in your heart, but also in our hearts. Prayers for you and your ewe.
Keep giving her feed before you go to bed. The energy she gets keeps her going.
So sorry for the loss of your ewe and two babies. I am so thankful you fight for your sheep. You have such a beautiful heart. I hope you have a blessed week. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hello from Ohio. I am glade to see your lamb doing better.. Sorry for your loss of a friend..
Your ewe lamb's eyes look fine at the end of your video, but a great product to have in your vet box is Vetericyn spray. It is excellent for all types wounds and safe for eyes. So many ups and downs for you this week, hoping your successes will pick your spirits up. I'm sure the turtles would be helpful! Sorry for the loss of your friend in the Ag community, it's especially hard when you lose someone to suicide. I've no doubt your openness about your own mental health, here, has helped many, many people maybe even saved someone. I'm sure he'd be proud of you for carrying the torch and helping educate people about farming.
I send you prayers, the loss of someone dear will forever effect you, it just means you have a huge heart and wonderful people in your life. You're amazing and I love you sharing your good days and ruff days. I know most everyone can sympathize with you and our hearts ache to know you're in pain. My belief is the ones who left us are a step away watching from a distance and waiting for us to join them in heaven. Much love to you beautiful lady 🙏
Ahhh Sandi, bless your heart ❤️ you know I think of you as one of those who wears their heart on their sleeve. I for one am glad you share even the hard losses. Your memories of Amy will be with you forever. ❤️ The dorothy lynch dressing is a midwestern favorite! We love it! I hope that you are able to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones!
Blimey Sandi i ended up crying my eyes, something i needed to do for days. I have post op blues, having to isolate alone, family and friends popping by on doorstep visits, sending you extra big hugs, its good to let your feelings out. These flipping lock downs are so awful. Hugs to anyone watching who needs them xxxx
Hi Sandy hope you having an amazing day. My Grandfather was very well known by our community aswell and he passed last year. You or mark may know him his name was MAYNARD CRESSMAN he was from Breslau Ontario. Me and my family have set up funds to help with student scholarships for agriculture at the University of Guelph there has been money setup for anyone that goes to the University of Guelph the same school Jess is going to. Hope she could get some help from our family that would be amazing. We were big pig farmers with an operation of over 3000 pigs. Very hard to see him go since he was such an inspiration to us all and we miss him very much. Hard to loose a loved one or a close friend. Wishing you all the best. Blessings to you and your family. See you next video like always.
She was part of your life and you just don't trow her out like that. So it's okay to cry as you remember her. That's love sweetie. I have had migraines for over 53 years now. Still learning how to deal with it. Make sure you drink allot of water. It helps. Live you girl 💜🇦🇼💚🇦🇼💜
My deepest sympathies for the wife your friends in the community. Such a heartfelt story. So much ❤Love
Great honest video Sandi! One of our mutual subscribers asked me what management system i use for the sheep. I had to explain i wasn’t as organised as you! 😅😁
But you are REALLY good at riding the wild rams!
Amy sounds like she was a very cool individual. I'm glad you had her in your life. Be well and thanks for the holiday wishes!
Have you ever opened up about what happened to Amy? Seems as if she was very young and it was unexpected. So sorry for your loss. My dad passed away 11/11/14 . It was very hard. He was diagnosed with cancer on 9/11/14 and passed exactly 2 months later. It's always harder when its unexpected. They say time heals, but all it doesnt. It just makes the times it hits you really harder a little further and further apart, but there is always the random times it hit, plus all the significant days like birthdays, holidays, the anniversary of the passing. Thank you for always being such a beacon of strength and courage! ❤
Hi Sandi sorry you are feeling sad , it’s just because you are a lovely ,caring,compassionate person , hope your poorly lamb continues to improve and thank you for everything you do for your viewers, love from Derbyshire 🇬🇧 xxx
You always do the absolute best for all of your animals Sandi , no need to give any negative opinions sway your confidence 😘 .
Wishing you and your family and friends a wonderful holiday season. I love your vlogs. You are an amazing, genuine person. I'm in Houston, Texas and being a 70 something, recently retired person has kept my husband and me in virtual lockdowm since March. It's been difficult not seeing my children and grandchildren. But I'm pretty resilient and know this pandemic will go away and there will be joy in our lives again. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Judi
Sorry for the loss within your community. My condolences to you and your community.
I can so relate to your headaches. We recently lost a cousin. I've been suppressing dealing with the grief, which is the source of my headaches.
I love your openness to have real life feelings. In February, it will be 3 years since I have lost my Mom. I was preparing for Thanksgiving and had one of those moments wash over me. I had a good cry, told her that I love her and went on with my day. I also suffer from migraine headaches. When in a sensitive moment, let the tears flow instead of holding them back. It will lessen your headache. I love VlogMas. Praying for you and your sheep. Love from Illinois, USA.
I feel for you. It is soo normal because when you’ve have had losses and someone else dies, you have to revisit those loses to process the new loss. If there anything good about the processing deaths, is that you get new coping skills/friends that help you get thru the losses quicker and get to the wonderful moments quicker.
I'm an College Education Student and your Vlogs in a lot of times helps me in how I manage my school works because I have been having difficulties with studying so watching you really does help me a lot so thanks a lot
Working at UPS the holidays are a struggle with so much extra work. So glag vlogmas is coming back this year..... it was a huge help getting through the long hours at work!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Hello my Shepard friend❣️😎 I have been watching you for almost 3 years and I swear I know more about sheep than I thought I never would lol! You are a great teacher!
I swear to you that as long as I’m here you never cry alone. I love when the babies are born I cry joy and heartbreak when the little ones can’t come to life. “No one cries alone in my presence.” This was said by Dolly Parton in steel magnolias and I find that true to this day. I also watch a guy called the hoof GP and cows hooves holy crap! There’s also a young man in Scotland who has a channel called ‘The sheep game’ If you’re looking to see what they do over there. I still love the Lambpeeds makes me giggle and my husband used to look at me under his lashes lol he’s wondering if I’ve gone round the corner or my cheese slid off my cracker lol but he likes your channel but he can’t watch as he’s gone blind.
He’s only 35 and I’m 65☺️. We met online in 2006 in my chat room back when Microsoft still had chat and we spent 4 years talking everyday getting to know each other. I was smitten long before I knew our age difference so we got married and I now live in Abu Dhabi UAE. He spoils me rotten and I’m happy to be your subscriber❣️Hugs and giggles, Judi❣️
Made me cry and sorry for your loss...
Wishing healing for you and yours
Thank you for being so real and honest. You keep us going ! Our struggles can go away for w1 minutes every time we sit down to be with you! Hugs
Get your blood pressure checked. I got migraines when my BP was too high which was connected to deep emotional trauma, Don't let it go unchecked, it could kill you. We need and would miss you more than you know. Hugs
It is so nice to see how much you care about each of your sheep
Awww, Sandi. My heart goes out to you about Amy. Love you darlin'. ❤
Did a Thanksgiving trivia game yesterday and one of the questions was what other country celebrates Thanksgiving and when? And I was like, I know this because of Sandi's videos!
Also, I loved watching the ewe run away from you giving her water knowing you were having problems with her getting up at all. It's frustrating when they won't let you help them, but you gotta smile at their progress.
Don’t ever feel bad about not giving up....also caution...our COVID-19 experience started with Migraines...saying a prayer. Thank you again for your commitment to the channel.
I live in the city where the Esther Price chocolates are made. We used to go trick or treating at her niece's house and she would give the kids small goodie bags of chocolates and the adults got bigger bags of chocolates. It definitely is chocolate from the Gods and we are VERY proud to be its birthplace and still its hometown so many years later!!!! I don't usually comment but I absolutely LOVE your videos and NEVER miss one. Love ya!!!💜💜💜💜🐑🐑🐑🐑
Dorothy Lynch!!! Very local thing! Love that someone sent it to you!!
Not under lockdown here in Ohio but with cases increasing day on day we should be staying home and socially distancing. Vlogmas is going to help SO many people get through their days ! Thanks for all you do ! #brocksbringcheer
I'm glad that you're so honest and tell us all about everything.
I’m so sorry about your friend/neighbor passing, losing someone breaks the heart and I know you still miss your friend, you always will. Miss Ewe is trying so hard, I 🙏🏻 she makes it.
Thank you for sharing everything you feel comfortable sharing with us. When you are upset, I feel like I was here for you. You are the sweetest and strongest person I have seen on social media. I am glad you are getting the new , lighter equipment. You can’t take care of everything to your fullest capabilities unless you take care of yourself first.
Sandi, I am so glad to see that your ewe lamb is doing better, but Im so sorry about the ewe that you had to put down. I know that you do not take that lightly, and you'd only do it if there was no other choice! We had to put down both of our dogs within 10 days of each other, this past September. It was beyond awful! I am so sorry for the loss in your community! My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and of course the farming community reeling with his passing! Much love to you, your family, and of course your flock!! Kristin from Oklahoma
Seeing that one hobbling away from perceived danger, amazing mother nature
You know the importance of positive reinforcement when healing, and you've definitely been that ewe's shining star in her darkest hours!!! Hang in there Sandi, things will improve for her, she's a fighter!!! I empathize with you with the loss of Amy, we had the similar situation with my husband's best friend, he too suffered with mental health and depression, and he left everyone behind on his terms. We have not had closure yet, going on 2 years, his body has not been found. I still mourn him, he was very special to my family, and I loss a special person in my life when we lost him.
I am thankful for YOU and your videos!!! You always have that glowing smile and caring for your sheep is contagious!! I HAVE to get my daily fix of your videos!!! Stay positive, stay safe, stay healthy!! Thank YOU for everything you do.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
I hate triggers...sorry for the new loss and memories of an old loss...happy to see the ill ewe feeling better!
Sandi, when I wrote before I hadn't finished it yet. Now, in the end I am so sorry that you have to cry. It makes me also sad. I am new on your chanel so I don't know all stories. But, you're a strong person and I admire your strength and positive energy.
I cried with you today. You touched my heart. I love your channel.
