After death, what do you keep?

- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Mom and I went to Denver with my nephew, Danny.
We had to do the terrible task of deciding which things of Sassy Gran to keep, and which things to throw away.
When people pass away it’s so difficult to decide what to hold, give away, and ultimately, throw away.
It was a pretty tough week.
My boyfriends dad died last week. I just got home from spending almost the week with him at his Dads house sorting through things. It truly puts life into perspective. Anyone reading this please keep God close and have a relationship with him. Because he is all we have in the end. Seeing how his Dad is gone but his stuff is still here truly makes me realize none of these earthly things matter. Love,be kind,make memories,forgive while you’re here and put Christ first.
Thank you needed to hear that right now as I’m getting older and my son will have to sort thru my cherished items and it’ll end up breaking his heart even more. I’m going to focus on the fact it’s just stuff and I’m going to keep being grateful I’ve got time with him and his new family!!! Sending ❤️
So sorry for your loss thinking of you in this sad time god bless you & your family 🙏🏼💜✝️😢
@@stephaniepapaleo9001 Thank you! And a yes enjoy the time you have with him. Those items are meaningless in the end so I wouldn’t even worry about them. When the time then it will be figured out. Always enjoy today because tomorrow is promised to no one. In the meantime enjoy your son children are a blessing.
🙏💪💖.😉& remember we worked it out here on earth.or we worked it out afterlife.makes no difference to Jesus💖.😌so I somewhat agree with you. One way or another.It's gonna happen.👍😎😊
So so true.
This is exactly why I’m a minimalist so I don’t have to put my children through this. I went through this heartbreaking ordeal with my parents, it was unbearable.
Mom is such a classy beautiful woman. I love how she whistled at the guy walking down the street!!! Love your videos!!
I loved that too. I would do it.
Hilarious, I loved it!
It was beautiful 😂
I am sure that many viewers related to the nostalgia and tender sentiments of this video. Our spiritual and physical selves are indeed intertwined in this life we live. Love to you all. And may Grandma rest in peace knowing how much she was loved.
@@lindamerz2420 I agree...
I hope you found "the box" with Sassy Gran's recipes that she said was right up by the door! I would love to see those published in book form or some way; perhaps sell to benefit Sassy's favorite charity. Those were things her hands directly used to make others happy! Would love to have a few!
Great idea
What a fabulous idea! I love it! I would definitely buy Sassy Gran’s cookbook! 💝
Gio, I know you are super busy with the family and with your business, so put a project like this on the back burner and think about throwing in some of your own recipes maybe!? Praying for your mama and sweet Little Pete! God bless you all!
That's a fabulous idea..
Omg I loved when she whistled at that man. "Well, they whistle at me!" LOL
Ten years ago, my parents, who had been married 52 years, passed away eight weeks apart. It is difficult to confront the sorting, keeping, giving away, and/or selling of family belongings. It's not easy "divorcing" or disengaging yourself from the onslaught of emotions to get those tasks accomplished. I believe I went through a whole box of tissues every day getting through the process. Thankfully, God is so faithful and loving and gives you the strength to do what has to be done.
For her designer handbags you should auction them and donate them to charity in her name. Her fans including myself would love to buy them.
We miss her so much already. And your Mom is beautiful as always.
Will always love and miss Sassy 😘❤️ Gran. Love the rest of the family too. Your Mom is beautiful ❤️😍 too. Happy that people that needed it,got it. They're very lucky to be blessed by you.
It would have been w8nderful to have seen this all for auction,you could attach a backstory to every item.
@@isabelthurston5158 OMG that would be a historical auction for sure! I bet every item would sell
Gran Doris was beautiful, and your Momma is STUNNING!! What a good deed. Im sure the people you gifted the items to will forever be grateful! HUMANITY still exists and we do have a chance. Rest in Glamour Gran; you were indeed a Diva she received her wings. I know she's giving heaven a run for their money.
And I think it’s a wonderful idea to share some of Sassy Gran’s items with her fans!
Let your mom go through Doris boxes, sorting things out
helps her to feel closer to mom in some way! Her new hair looks lovely!
Her smile made my day!🌺❤️
Had to go through my 105 year old grandma s home last year- sooo understand all of this! However, I’m hoping your mom can show us some of the old treasures you did keep! We would enjoy that!
105??
@@sl4983 yes! Not a misprint! She was a lot like sassy gran! I wish She had let me film her! Her daughter ( my mother) is 87 and STILL waitressing - since 1968! I hoping to film her more! These elderly women are true role models! So glad we have Sassy gran to love and remind us all to appreciate them!
@@laneybop1728 that’s wonderful about your mother. How special that she is still waitressing at 87, I hope you get to film lots of her.
A quick way to get rid of stuff is to list it on Facebook for free
Freecycle
I’m so glad there was a lady who loved the furniture. She will cherish it.
Dolly you look stunningly beautiful. Don't cry. I lost a ton of people I loved and two husbands before I was 40. Im 70. I'm still crying too. I know how you feel. It's very hard. Much love and prayers to you both.💕💐🙏🙏
I lost my husband of 27 years only 6 years ago, and I know what my grandma went through when granddad died 🥺
@@rebeccalucas6063 yes it stays with you forever.💕💕
I’m so sorry Patty. That had to be really hard. I feel so awful for you and Dolly. Grief just stays with you forever in different ways. My Father was killed when I was only 3 weeks old and I still miss him anyway.
@@stephanieann1213 i hear you and I'm so so sorry my dad was 27 and I was almost 5. See we all have sad stories and memories and Sassy is looking out for us. What a woman and here we are in our grief showing love to these two lovely people and each other.💕💕
I just couldn't watch this to the end. It made me so depressed to hear that you could not find a charitable group that would take your pieces. In my younger days, I have been a single, broke mother of 2 trying to get by. I learned to thrift very well to decorate my home - beautifully I might add. And clothe my children. I am now a grandmother and still thrift for my clothing and furniture. People always tell me how beautifully I dress and what a lovely, cozy home I have. Hearing about your experience breaks my heart.
I love your comment and do the same as a single mom!!
Yes, me too, raised 5 kids much of the time with 1 job cause the kids were high strung and would get into trouble if left alone too much.
Loved the way mama Dolly whistled 😆
😍
Your mom is so sweet. She is one of those people that you just want to hug & somehow help her to feel better. She is lovely. She looks so much like your grandmother! Neither of them look(ed)their age. She’s so soft spoken but I think she can probably take care of herself…..just like sassy Gran did! You are such a blessing to be with them. That’s special memories for you to cherish. ♥️
This must of been a really hard day. Sad that the woman shelter wouldn't take the stuff. Omg I would love something of Grandma sassy. Love you guys ❤ 😘
Sending many hugs your way. I just cannot imagine how difficult that was for you. Losing Sassy is like losing the sunlight. She was so precious. God rest her soul. So happy you are carrying on her legacy. I want to extend my sympathies to your beautiful Dolly Momma on the loss of her doggie. I also wanna know what eyelashes and lip color she wears! Her eyes just pop! Lips to die for! You go Dolly!!! Maybe she can do a video on how to apply? You both take care and know you are loved! ~ Robin xo
It would be awesome for her to do a video like that, she is stunning!
I would love to see a video of how she applies her makeup too. Stunning and beautiful lady!
Would like to see her in a different color lipstick.
Throwing it away is shameful when people are in need so I’m so glad you were able to give it way!
All of a sudden you got sentimental, good for you❣️
I realize how hard it is to get rid of sentimental items. This is so heartbreaking but you'll always have her in your hearts.
I can't believe that you would be gifting some of dear Doris' belongings to us! That is amazing. I would love to have something of hers that she loved because I loved her. God bless you both and your families.
It's so awesome, isn't it???
I miss sassy Gran so much, but we all know that she's still shining bright and wearing that crown like the Queen she was! Shine on sassy Gran we will never forget you. Lots of hugs and healing to you and your mom.
Oh, my! Your mom literally had me laughing out loud in here. I spit my drink out when she started whistling at that guy.😂😂😂
Same! She's just the cutest! 😍😂
😂LoL
Keep on whistling. I couldn’t stop laughing as you look so sophisticated lol xx
My gosh, the wounds in my heart have just reopened: I lost all my folks by the time I was 16 years old. And Dolly, I'm so sorry about your losing your pup -but Gran is definitely with her now!!! She was the ultimate animal lover!
So many things were lost for me, but some things were saved. I miss the old photo albums the most. Now that I'm in my 50s, I've started gifting some of those unique antiques to younger people & they love it! I'm the last of my bloodline & had no children. So I am trying to downsize with heart now. I never saw a U-Haul truck behind a hearse, have you??? LOL!
I just love seeing the joy on a youngster's face as they hold something beautiful that's at least 100 years old & chosen especially for them. ❤️ The Spirit has never whispered wrongly to me yet! One young lady wore her "new" antique jewelry & fancy "British Hong Kong" jewelled clutch to her wedding. I cried for joy!
I also have much more true history that I hope to find a loving home for, like my Dad's genuine WW2 Montfort Point Marine memorabilia - he was one of the FIRST Black Marines. Ah, and my Mom's mint Gospel and R&B vinyl collection - James Brown Live at the Apollo, *unopened* anyone??? 😉 I'm sure God will guide me to just the right new "owners."
Grief makes me ramble on. What I'm getting at is that you already have the BEST OF Gran: her DNA. Her Spirit. I try to keep this in mind for myself too. Gran had awesome taste & I'm sure many would cherish her gorgeous worldly goods... but her beautiful SOUL is eternal. God bless you, Dolly, Gio & all your family. Please keep us posted. 🕊️ 🦋💎🦋🕊️
Sheww!! You made me cry again! You are not rambling, you are generously sharing a peice of your heart and soul! I am praying for you! I pray God Almighty will confort you through your grief. Grief is so hard. It definitely takes time to heal and a touch from the Holy Spirit of God the Father. I pray you have precious memories to hold on to. The blessings of giving far out weighs the blessings of receiving.
You may be the last of your human bloodline, but I assure you as my spirit witnesses with yours, you have a forever, eternal family! A sister in Jesus Christ, here from Kentucky.
May God bless you in mighty ways! May he put the right people around you to return unconditional love!
Do you have a youtube channel?
@Anna Harrison@Tonya Perry awww... I'm crying happy tears from my soul now... my husband says I'm a little emotional puddle sometimes! 🥰🤣🥰
I dearly love all of you! 🫂❤️🦋
What a lovely, touching and interesting message! You sound like a wonderful person, may God bless and comfort you!❤
That is soooo sad that those organizations wouldn't except your stuff. Especially the women's shelter... WoW.... glad you made a lot of people very happy!!!
It must of been heartbreaking, taking that stuff to the dump. When my dad died, most of my siblings, didn't care and after boxing and boxing and boxing stuff up. One of my brothers said, it's all going to the dump. And it was a relief after that. But soooo sad
You guys are so generous! I’m sure sassy Gran was happy it’s going to people who will use it! Dolly Mommy is amazing!
You keep the memories and love
Of course pictures, some of their favorite things.
My husband and I downsized before we moved into our senior living apt. We are saving our girls the job of doing it. We’ve never been collectors of stuff. I understand your connection to some things that bring you such fond memories. I hope some people will hear how difficult it was for you. I wanted to keep the smell of my mother. Of course it doesn’t last but the memory does. Your love for her and hers for you will last forever.🤗❤️
Amen!💖☝️Don't make children have to clean up your garbage.or stuff.Grieving is heart-wrenching enough .without that added burdon.imho.🤷♀️🙏💪💖👍😎
I know what you mean about wanting to keep your mom's scent with you. My mom wore Lancolme Tresor so I sprayed a swatch and placed it on the backside of her picture frame. The other day when I was dusting her photo, I couldn't smell the swatch anymore, it had faded and it made me cry. At least they still maje that perfume, so I'll stop by Sephora for a sample after I get to my new place.❤️
See, I’m the exact opposite. My mom didn’t know what treasures she had that held dear memories for me. The crying was so cathartic and I found things I hadn’t seen in a long time. Now my brother has died and I will do the same thing. I hope to find something to treasure!
@@KrisD007 Aww I like your attitude ❤️👍
I wish I was there when you were donating. That's so good that you gave to people who needed it.
I am so sorry you lost your precious Sassy Gran. There are not enough words to describe how beautiful and funny she came across on your channel. Please keep this channel with your sweet mom. She is such a breath of fresh air as are you.
Dolly, sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. Thank-God all of you made it back safe! 🛫Denver, Colorado. ❤
You blessed a multitude of people with those items. I am one that would rather give stuff away to someone in need, than to turn over to a thrift store or goodwill. I especially hate throwing away food. One time my daughter ordered a meal for each one of us, and it was too much so I decided to give my meal to a homeless person. Bless you both.
I just love how close you are as a family and Gio, I love how you honor your gran and your mom. You’re all beautiful ❤️❤️💜
I'm 60 and working on going through my things so my son doesn't have to. It's so hard to go through loved ones belongings because they were special to that person. I'm so glad y'all were able to find people to give things to. Oh and by the way, Mom's dress is really pretty. Would love to see the entire dress. Prayers continue for your family. Grandma would be proud of the way y'all are handling all of this. I'm so so sorry about Mom losing her pup. What a rough week. Hugs 💕
Amen.
I'm glad someone got the furniture and handbags, It's rather sad that none of the second hand stores, Wouldn't take the furniture n clothes.. When my grandmother passed away, I was supposed to get her jewelry. IDK who took it. Then My Nana n Poppy collected salt and pepper sets, my dad asked his brother if I could have them. Ohh they couldn't find them. The greed of some family members is really sad. I really loved your grandma she was a beautiful soul. Her zest , She's touched millions of people around the world. Your mom is gorgeous and I love listening to her stories too. ❤❤. I'd love anything from your grandma, I'd cherish it forever ❤️
I'm so sorry about your dog. Losing a pet can is as hard as losing a person imo. You two were lucky to have each other.
Sometimes harder.
I am so glad you touched on the things that are not given away. That was heartbreaking for me too when my Dad passed. 87 years of life in garbage bags. 😢
I so relate to this. I am going through this right now with my own possessions while I am still alive. It is so emotional.
What do you mean?
@@sl4983 I think she means she is sorting her own stuff out so the family doest have to when she passes away
@@ladyg9695 I wonder why no one is doing it with their children before that time comes
@@sl4983 not sure it might be because people don’t want to think there loved is goi g to die any time soon xx
You guys did the best thing to give it directly to the people. A lot of times, these organizations do not give it to the ones that really need it or charge it to the people who can’t afford it. Good for you guys and thank you for being so special.
I could imagine how hard that was. I would love to have a keepsake from Sassy and treasure it always.
Just found this channel and I love your mom and grandma... My son's great grandma was almost 105 years old when she passed away last month .. She lived by herself since 103.. She would get up everyday and put her jeans on and makeup on and do get hair and kept a clean house .I told my son way before she died is get to know her story... She was born in 1917 and seen alot.. My son did ask her what it was like being little. She said they were poor going through the depression.. That woman could cook like no other.. We can learn so much from our elders.. Get to know them and talk to them . They can teach you so much..I wish I had ask more questions to my grandfather.. God bless always.
Your beautiful mom reminds me of Raquel Welsh. You are all so good looking. So glad you kept wonderful things. Goodwill wouldn't even take things? ! Wow!
This broke my heart.😥
Edit~Ok, your Mom whistling at the guy leveled me back out!
Y’all are wonderful. Your Gram was a treasure…your Mom reminds me of her. ❤️
Sassy Gran had so many years of memories, she would love the fact you donated some of her things, she loved to shop alright so sad to let go of things especially when it’s your loved one she’s smiling down on you & so proud how you are all coping my hart goes out to you all on this difficult time Gio the apple don’t fall far from the tree I would be the same I’m keeping that bless you all Sassy Gran will never be forgotten she was a rare diamond 💜🙏🏼✝️😢
Man I can't understand why anyone would't accept your grandmother's nice nice things. I would have loved some of her cool stuff. I know how hard it is to dispose of personal belongings of a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
She was rare indeed...🥰🥰🥰
Dearest Gio & Firecracker Mom, I also am dealing with 3 storages of items from my mother who passed away in 2019. So many of us have been in a similar situation. I think it's a right of passage. The process is hard, long, tedious but at the same time brings back so many memories. I'm sorry you both have to go through this difficult time but I'm sure you will come across some treasures & make it all worth it. Just know you're not alone & Sassy Gran iscwatching over you helping you make those hard decisions. I wish you both peace and healing. Kind regards, Ani in Miami
Lmao at mom whistling at the shirtless man walking by! If he would have heard her it would have made his day she's beautiful 😍 I love the energy from all of you!!! Lol
I would cherish anything that was ur grandmother's. I luv that beautiful lady. I miss her terribly.
I bet Sassy Gran was so happy watching how happy seeing how excited the people where to be getting new things.
Beautiful comment of the boyfriend's dad. I spent today 4/26 going thru packed storage unit of 3yrs from my mom. Died 3yrs ago. It's so emotional & hard. I'm blessed. My husband has been wonderful thru all that. It's hard for people helping too. I'm sending love to you both and please keep your faith close, it matters. 😊🙏🌟💛☮️💙
Oh my darlings Western Australia sending love. Dolly your hair looks beautiful today! (Stunning as always) thankyou Gio, sorry to hear about people not taking your stuff THANKYOU for at least trying..even more THANKYOU for personally giving it away and blessing others. Sometimes when you have lousy people around you, 'things' become more precious (symbolic of dreams etc) you are working more miracles in life than you will ever know on *THIS* side xxxx
Your mom reminds me of my mom who passed away 3 years ago. Timeless beauty.
I didn't see a spider...I got bit by a spider!!! 😂 bless y'alls hearts!! I can't believe no organization would take donations but I'm glad y'all found people that took the items and needed them. I've lost so much from ones that have passed, I can't blame yall for having such a hard time!💖
Woohoo Dolly, loved hearing that whistle!😂😁
May God bless you both! I am trying to clean out my own home which was ransacked while I was hospitalized for a stroke. And indeed the hardest part is that no one will take anything! Hopefully, I will get stronger and go the U-haul to the dump process myself. But not until this heat goes away! My heart is with you!
it's probably better they were able to give the items to people directly instead of these organizations because you would be freaking surprised to know how much of these donations end up in the trash when you donate them to places it is sickening and then you see signs on their doors we need donations while their whole dumpster is filled with donations that they got in that they just deemed not worthy because it wasn't brand new and with the price tag on it still it is utterly disgusting I only know this because I used to go dumpster diving when I was on the streets and those places had an abundant amount of stuff in their garbage cans and some of it was brand new it just wasn't a name brand or some shit I don't know what their deal is but they beg for donations and then throw them away I'm talking women abuse centers I've seen them throwing away baby strollers cribs baby clothes out the wazoo toys like brand new shit they just throw it away and then beg for more and I'm like that's counterproductive and why beg for things from people if you're just going to throw it in the dumpster instead of giving it to somebody who needs it it makes me so angry it makes my blood boil.
I lost my grandma this January. It’s funny the things that make you emotional. She had a waffle iron that she’s had since the 50s that I got to have. Every time I make waffles in it I tear up. It’s one of my most precious items I own
How scary was that airplane flight. ✈️ I'm glad yall are safe and that Grandma was protecting ya'll!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your precious furbaby. I dread that day when it comes to my sweet, precious, smart Gidget. She's a toy poodle and she's 6 years old...I hope she lives many many many more years. 🐩
I went through the same experience with my parents home. Going through the things in their house and reliving all the memories...I had a point where I just sat down and cried. It was heart breaking seeing all the things my parents collected over time and no one wanted them. Over time you will find the things you chose to keep you will treasure because they are a part of your history. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss, we all feel it with you. But…Sassy Gran would want the love and laughter to continue on. Much love and lots of laughter sent your way. 💕✌🏽
I’m curious if losing your grandma made your mom realize how much she really is like her mom . I remember a video where you asked what they had in common and your mom was quick to say “nothing” “we are nothing alike” . But I think certain things she does she reminds me of sassy! And both beautiful as ever !
I lost my grandma this past Thanksgiving “99” yrs old. We spoke daily & I’m still having a very hard time dealing with it. I lost my mom & sister exactly 4 weeks apart. A total of “8” family members gone within 4yrs. A big part of me is missing now & it’s hard to let go of things. I definitely would LOVE to have ANYTHING of Sassy Grandma, she was an AMAZING woman with such a BEAUTIFUL HEART & SOUL. She was classy & definitely SPECIAL. God bless you Gio & your mom. I honestly check UA-cam regularly waiting for your videos as they lift me up, especially when I’m having a rough day. Thank you SO MUCH. 🙏❤️🙏♾🤗
Sassy Gran made people happy even after her death. Sharing her things with others is so wonderful!! Thank you both and the nephew for going the extra steps and thinking of others.
@ Cindy Powell, I'm so very sorry for your personal losses. Sending you a big hug in hope that it helps in some small way to pick up your spirit. ❤
@@susansnyder11 Thank YOU so very much I really needed it today. You’re so sweet truly means a lot. 🙏🙏🙏💖♾
Sassy gran is smiling down that many people have made good use of her things...
P.S.Mom! Loved that Whistle.
I wish I was there to get some of that stuff lol good for all the folks that got to get some new things! You guys are so wonderful and generous. God bless y’all ♥️ PS I wish you showed us the doll 😆
"Mom! Mom! You can't whistle at strange men!" Ahahahahaha! I laughed so hard at the who conversation!!
We still haven't gone through our Mum's things. It's not an easy process. You're very generous to offer some of your family precious things to your followers. Your Mum's wolf-whistle made me laugh😂🤣
Well just be glad she wasn't in a home where you have to move the stuff out within 30 days
This is a very important topic. I had to go through the same thing when my mother passed. We must remember that no matter how hard it is, it's only material items. I gave away to churches, family, good will, etc. It was very rewarding to donate the items. Our mothers/grandmothers will always be with us. Thank you for this video. Love you guys. God bless.
I've never owned a bedroom set in my life and I'm 67 yrs old. Lol Always wanted one but it just never happened. I have a metal frame for my mattress and a mish mash of thrift store chest of drawers. I know that had to be a big project of going through all the stuff in storage. Just like a man to want to throw away stuff! Lol You will run across so many memorabilia like handwritten letters and things that will be important to you when you see it. I'm glad you were able to make other people happy with your gifts of furniture to them.
I'm moving and it's horrible especially since I only have 2 weeks to do it and a houseful of stuff. I can only imagine what you went through and how hard that was to get rid of good stuff. My furniture is junk so were taking it to the dump, except for maybe 4 wood pieces. What a beauty your Mother is.
You are so kind and sweet to think of your followers in the middle of your grief. Speaks volumes. ❤️
I started to cry when you mentioned being on the back of the truck, watching all your grans things being buried. That would be so hard to watch and know it was going to close a chapter in her lifetime. Peace be with you, your mother and family.
It’s so sad at least you reached out too places too see if they would take but I am happy you gave her things away where they will be loved again 💕
Wow! - you all went through alot! From Mom having to put her doggie down right before you left, to the flight there... to going through special personal belongings, stirring up sweet, precious memories...to seeing the emotional Uhaul truck scene at the dump snippet.. to the initial bumpy flight home...
You two had an Angel - aka Sassy Gran - watching over you during your entire journey 😇🤍🕊
Much L♡VE from Southern California💛
Sassy Gran is still part of making people happy, and that is beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing so honestly.
😭😭😭😭omgosh, this made me think about Sassy Gran when she lost her emerald ring. She was so heart broken! Gio, you told her to think about how lucky someone would be to find her ring and how it could forever change their life. Sassy Gran finally accepted it. Then, another video made me cry like a baby!!! I mean, I just lost it when she had been so upset over her precious ring and now happy you had found her ring. Then when alone by herself, in her quite time, her sweet mind starts pondering on the fact that this lucky person didn't get to find her ring and be blessed like you had planted in her mind, soul and heart that it would happen, all in effort to comfort your gran. So she so honestly from the bottom of her heart comes up with, in her mind was a grand idea! She tells you that she wanted to throw this ring away and watch someone find it. The thought of her getting to see this person find her shinning emerald, just any person that was in need made Sassy Gran light up and glow so brightly! She knew it would be found, she said the sun would shine on it and make it sparkle😊. Oh my, how she so wanted to bless someone else with that emerald ring, make them happy, and as she said, change their life forever was a precious moment! That moment in that video to me was such a blessing to me!! In my mind, I could actually see it happening right along with S.Gran, I know if I had found something like that how it definently would have changed my life forever!
Oh how she had listened so intently to the story you was giving her about stuff is just stuff, it can be replaced, yet this one little bitty tiny peice of "stuff" could change someone's life, that was in need. You convinced Gran that it could be replaced and you would get her another one, yet to her it was definitely sentimental, as it was from her baby Gio with LOVE.
I truly believe you touched your g-mothers inner heart in a special way that day, with that comforting story!
Sassy Gran was an amazing grandmother to all whom followed her! We all felt we knew her and do love her! And she knew that! Our Sassy.Gran was a shining, sparkling emerald in the sun an the rain, that's for sure!
I never actually got to experience having a g-mother, so from my heart I do appreciate and Thank You so very much for sharing your gran with me! I feel like she was an emerald jewel that we all just randomly found.
The wisdom that woman had and shared with all her baby's was beyond amazing! I have one g-son. I do hope and pray everyday that I can be this grandmother to him like S.Gran is to you! Life's struggles always makes things tough, but a soft heart is what matters anyway. The love we can give is free! And I know he can never be loved more than the g-mother love I have for him!
He is 12 now. He lives with me. I do know he has a heart just like you have Giovanni! I pray he grows into the fine young man that I know he can and will be, and I get to live and see that happen!
Again, I Thank You for sharing!
Wow Dolly your hair looks beautiful today's video love the soft curls 😍💕🙋♀️😘 HI Gio glad you both are doing OK 👌
Its funny how life takes us on different voyages , my Mom is 89 and is in the hospital and not doing too good . If I can get a laugh out of her every day and
just a little cuddle I consider myself lucky . Your so good to your Mom ,
She's really looking beautiful in this video . Gran left and took the dog with her .
All the best .
Dog with her?
It’s been almost 2 years since my beautiful mom passed and I still have not gone through her clothes and shoes. I’ve only moved her bathroom items. I need to, but I immediately smell her in the closet and I break down. Her household items are still in boxes. I’m determined to do it by the end of the year. I think, I hope.
Maybe you could talk to her while you go through it? She’s here, I truly believe our loved ones stay with us. My son talked to my grandma 10 years after she passed, he was 2 and told me he was playing with her. They are here.
Get someone to help you. It’s too hard alone
Be patient.
Your proccessing
You need to go through all 5 stages of grief to start healing
Take your time and do it when your ready. All the comments here are really good advice. Good luck kiddo.
It’s hard but I’ve done it. I took my time and just sobbed as I did it. I needed it.
My mom passed away Jan. 2019 and my dad 5 years before. I still haven't went through everything. It's so hard to get rid of the things they loved. I know it's just things, but I'm sentimental.
I know exactly what you were saying, when you said you saw something and it took you back to when you were
a child! Great memories!!!
🙏 God bless you both! 😇
I’m sorry for the rough week, but your mom says so many things that remind me of Sassy Gran 💗 and it makes me happy! It definitely sounds like she was looking after you. Glad you made it back safe and sound.
Bless you both for donating to strangers. Sassy Grans legacy lives on. She is our treasured memory.
Lovely to see you both.
Greetings from England
Love when your mom whistled 🤣🤣❤
I know going through Sassy Gran's stuff was hard but its over now and you made it home safe thank God. 💝
Gio and Dolly I'm a real estate agent that works primarily with seniors in a 55+ golf com and I'm seeing all the stages from buying to trying to donate. Its so hard on them as they get older. I wish family could/would do more for them. I try my best to relieve the pressure of stuff. It is heartbreaking. I learned so much about the stress that comes with it. Im 63 and will be decluttering soon.
So you help them declutter?
Omg Cindy I’m the same age as u and I’m decluttering too especially clothes
I totally understand this. I live with my granny, she’s 85, and we all live in my childhood home and boy she won’t let go of anything! It’s so hard bc we’ve got our stuff too and a little boy that desperately needs a room plus I’m not fond of clutter. Let me tell you …..SHE DOES NOT CARE. Lol she doesn’t want us to leave but she would rather us all camp up together in one room downstairs :( . I’m trying to be sensitive to her feelings while still maintaining a decent home! It’s so hard.
@@geraldinelafayette1838 She should at least clear a room out for you guys
Sassy Gran will always be the boss! She is still looking over her loved ones who miss her like crazy🙏😇
Dolly you are STUNNING!! good genes! what a process you all went thru...Giavonni, always trust your gut!! the grandbabies that Doris corresponded with put in bingo cage, pull out however many items you have and bless them. just an idea😘. i really enjoy your stories and miss Ole Sass!! much love and blessings 🙏
It’s so sweet of you to share Gran Doris’s collections. Pieces of her that will live on through the many people that loved you there. 💖💖💖
I wish I could have helped somehow. I’m so good at getting things to the proper people. I’m mind blown that you had issues finding homes for everything!
I miss your lovely Sassy Gran ,may she rest in peace 🙏.Your Mom and you have done justice to her legacy.A beautiful family.❤️❤️❤️
OMG!
You guys made a bunch of people REALLY HAPPY with all that stuff!
Good to hold onto stuff that means something to you.
But share the rest.
Less is more.
Bless your hearts. ❤
I'm so glad you gave away a lot and kept what you really loved. ❤️It's very hard to go through this process. I had to go through my Mom's stuff and my Dad's stuff when they passed away. Nobody else cared, I was the only one that did it and was thoughtful about it and took a lot of stuff for donation and also had a company come and pick up stuff. This was several years ago when companies were happy to get clothes and kitchen goods and such. There was an auction of furniture and any other items. It always seems to be that feeling of guilt when you throw things away vs donating them. 🙏
I just love you guys! I have to watch even though the original “Sassy Gran” has gone on to a better place than us…. It’s so sad but I love your mom as well. She’s just as sassy, just a little different. Love you two so much❣️❣️and an extra❣️ for Grandma.
You literally loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly! Like the Beverly Hillbillies! But seriously, God bless you bc it's the hardest thing to lose someone and then also have to go thru all of the memories and decide what to keep and what to let go of. And yes, no one takes home goods very easily anymore, even if free! And doubly sad for your poor mom with the dog. It's so hard what you guys did. But you did it. Step by step. You'll get there. I know there's no reason to try and rush to get over the kids if someone. It tends to linger. But I'm glad you guys made it through those flights! Yikes!
And boy, your mom actually seems to have an eye for semi-precious and precious commodities. If she had room for all the things that were mentioned she'd have herself her own Hearst Castle!!!
I think it's important to keep very important memory triggers. Sometimes they're the key to some memories that maybe locked forever. I think in old age, they help to keep the mind alive. Anyway, I feel for you, having to filter through things.
Your Mom truly has Granny's sass, whistling to a fine lookin' specimen of a gentleman passing bye 🥰✌️
Very tough as well as hair-rising week. You've got the power of love and your guardian angel to keep you going. Bliss and blessings to you both.
Oh! Your mom whistling!!!!! The best!!!!!! 😆 My mom who tell guys thank you handsome. 😆😆 Your is too love her. I would have loved a day with Gran and your mom too. So funny. I'm sure we all would.😆
Btw Im passing out when you are talking about the pilot. Oh man!!!!!!! And floating!! Yes sassy Gran had all the wings helping you guys. God bless you guys.
😢Your fur baby. I am so sorry to hear that. My heart goes to you. My fur baby passed 6 months after my mom. Love your mom's smile. ❤️ Miss the boss.
Hugs to you all. Losing our puppers is do hard. They are family. Love you guys!!
You loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly!!! Lol 😂 love watching y’all , your mom whistling at that guy was hallerias!!! Love and miss Grandma Doris❤️👯💃🙏🏻
Man your family got good genes even your nephew is gorgeous
When that picture popped up I was like wow everyone in their family is good looking!
Agreed!!
Mom has the most beautiful smile! When she smiles her eyes smile too! Stunning!
I can only imagine how emotional this must be. My dad is a trifter and I often think about what to do when that time comes. Prayers for you all 🤲🏾.
I would love to have something with Grandma Sassy!! She was such an amazing person!! I am 66 and part of my life I can relate to your mother. I grew up in a dysfunctional family of abuse. They drinking, the fighting and so much abuse when I was a child. You are an amazing son and grandson. Love you guys so much.❤️❤️
Live-Happy I am 66 to and lived thru the same things as you it scars your heart for life.....but I now have Gio and Dolly and their family......take care 🙋😔💐🌍
TYVM for sharing your memories and the frightening flight. So glad you all made it home safely. Denver Airport is haunted. Sassy Gran is now your guardian. 🕊💙🙏🌎
I never spoke before (so plz do forgive the bluntness) but you have no idea how ever so honored I am to know of this channel. This genuine family is not just funny with their open candor sincere talks and mayhems, their enormous love is generous, inviting, caring and very vry down to earth. A lesson on how we should treat one another. Listening and watching, makes me feel as if I still had family left on earth, reminding of times when family talks and walks was together in unisome. Oooh how I yearn for those memories to become alive for me again. Just to learn about the other (inadvertently ones self too) memory lane and taking time for loved ones (anyone) is priceless. I can just imagine you guys watching past videos n going thru items how emotionally challenging it all can be, yet so elating moments in time too. As a mother whom has a son battling inoperable cancer, my only stability thru God is that it is a blessing to know anyone. 30 sec or over 100 yrs, it forms and entwines us, making eachother even forevermore blessed. Kind of keeps me grounded so to speak. Big kudos to this channel! Even though my wish is to have a family and anyone to talk to, being here sort of makes me feel at home and never alone. As Sas has left her legacy (miss you too sas), the trio will always help mold one another n eachother. May God infinitely bless this family...and may God bless you and all 🌍
