Our sheep are being BULLIED?! ...and Marge is the BULLY. | Vlog 695

- Well... my great idea of adding Teddy and Pita to the Golden Girls retirement village somewhat backfired.
Although most of the ladies are cool with the new arrivals, Billy's Mom and Marge (especially Marge) do not want to lose their rank as top dog in the pasture.
So, Carissa and I have been watching closely and by Friday Teddy seems to be holding her ground a bit more firmly, and Pita just hides.
We also had Jess's visit with the Chemo doctor, and it was upsetting seeing the path set up for her... it's going to be a rough summer for our girl.
The rest of the week was just the husband and wife team, trying to get crops into the ground (literally... it went HARD) and me trying to keep it together... (and my poor roller).

Crying is healthily, there is no need to apologize for being human. Anyone watching your channel knows it genuine and not for attention or views.
Sandi, crying is a coping skill. If you showed no emotion at this time, with all that your family is going through, I'd be seriously worried! We all know you aren't crying for attention or to get views! All of our hearts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Even if we don't know each other in real life, a lot of us have come to love you, Jess, and your family. I know that I, personally, cry when you start to. Yes, the road ahead is going to be rough, but you are strong and, when you break, Mark is there to hold you up physically and we will be here for you in whatever capacity we can be.
We're full of emotions to cry is stress relieving. ❤❤
It’s so cute watching all the girls running to you thru the field.❤️🥰😊
😅😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Sandi, we all love your raw, real emotions. Keep being yourself 🌸❤️
Don't wait till Jess is nauseated to give her the additional nauseated medicine they send you home with. I took the dosage between 36 and 48 hours for a couple days which helped me avoid being sick during the 2 rounds of chemo. Hopefully this will help her avoid it. As strong as her dosage it she may need more days. Prayers to you all. I'm 18 months cancer free.
Congratulations on your 18 months cancer free.
PRAISE BE TO GOD!
Bless you and hope you stay cancer free the rest of your long, beautiful, healthy life.
Congratulations on being 18 months Cancer free. I'm so happy for you!
May God bless you!❤
Yay,🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please don’t let the haters live in your head rent free. We all love you BECAUSE you are real. Real people cry
Love the mental image of those freeloaders.
If I could give more than one like for this comment, I would give infinite likes.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Plus it's not as if she's crying over the amount of followers she has, or because Starbucks didn’t have the right kind of milk alternative for her drink. She's a mother with a child facing cancer. She can cry all she wants/needs!
We know that you're not crying for attention, your family is going through a lot right now and we get that. ❤
Amen.
Even when you don’t cry, I am crying.
Cry all you want, we will be here for you. Love to all of you! ❤❤
Exactly
Yes, crying is totally normal and acceptable❤ its not for attention.
Well said!!! Thank you
I laughed out loud (really) when Sandy called Marge mean and she immediately stamped her foot. It was a, “Yes I Am” moment! Love the personalities of them. On the other hand, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As a retired Oncology nurse, your support system is so important. Stay strong as a family, and take help when offered. ❤
As another retired oncology nurse, Amen to that!
A retired flight nurse here. I flew lots of patients in both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. "New" health problems are always scary. Tea4s are normal and healthy. Cry all that you need to.. Praying for all of you. This too shall pass. You all are going to be stronger individually and as a family. We're all praying for you and we're there with you in spirit.
Stay strong for your daughter I tried for my but lost it because she was my favorite she was just like my dad and her and I look a lot a like she is just a tad shorter than me she past away of brain cancer and miss her so much and trying to take of myself and mom at the same time is hard when you pets to here but do what I can to care for everyone here even my mom hopefully everything will be fine and hope pray for the best out come of her health.
@@janinelindsey6087 agreed! My aunt's oncology team of doctor & nurses did the best they could for her at Princess Margaret hospital but the cancer was more viciously aggressive than they anticipated. Miss my aunt alot.
@Tammy Garcia as someone who went through my cancer journey with my mum as my support. It's not about being strong its about being there regardless of how weak you feel. I'm sure she appreciated you being there even if you couldn't hide how you felt x
You're not crying for attention, you're crying for emotion. There's a difference. You're not crying because you broke a nail, you're crying because your life is topsy turvy and scary and you don't get to take off work either. Have all the cries you need, and celebrate everything you can celebrate in between. Many hugs 🫂
You will all find your groove through this. When I did my chemo, I actually carried washable markers to softball, so when any littles asked about my bald head I explained that the medicine that was helping me took my hair away. So I let them draw on my head . They called them my chemo tattoos. Made many of them less scared about the bad word cancer. Prayers and love from a seven year ovarian and uterine cancer survivor. It was my way to laugh at my anger.
What a wonderful idea!
Sending so much love & happiness in a big virtual hug!!! You're amazing & I love the marker idea xxxx
Please, do not worry about showing your emotions ! I and probably all the rest of us out here, think of you as family. We're all here for you ❤❤❤ BIG HUGS !!!
Definitely!
@@MelanieCravens totally agree ❤❤❤we are here for you 🙏🙏🙏
Amen to that! ❤
ABSOLUTELY!!!
As an aside ~ I know you’re especially mindful of your mental health. I am too ~ and since my own VERY painful surgery just under a month ago, I became overwhelmed and needed more by way of support. Addition of a sedative helps get me through the especially rough days - and I’m tremendously thankful my very thoughtful doctor knew I’d benefit from that assistance. Sending positive thoughts and hugs your way!!!!
Ditto!
Sandi, you owe us nothing. We have your back always. If you don't feel up to recording or posting, take a break. We'll ALL be here when you return. We love you. ❤️
❤❤❤❤. Absolutely!!! Love your channel!!! ❤❤❤
What she said.
Yes. ❤
Im an Audiologist and it makes me glad to hear that the doctors are doing a base line hearing test and monitoring that. Chemo is ototoxic meaning it can cause permanent damage to your hearing, a lot of the time doctors wont tell patients this and don't monitor it so the damage is done by the time I see them. You have raised a very mature young woman in Jess and you should be beyond proud Sandy. Sending you all the love from Australia
I never knew about the hearing risks of chemo; I didn't need chemo for my own cancer treatment, but I did have 30 rounds of radiation to get through with its own list of side effects. I had only known about the most common side effects of chemo like hair loss and nausea. I'm hoping Jess avoids the worst of it. It's always interesting to read the comments from people who have experience with what's being discussed.
@nataliegraham9552 In my years in the hearing industry, protecting hearing is forgotten about and not educated on. High dose radiation can also be toxic if centred around the head/neck area. I love it when doctors are proactive about hearing, it needs to be thought of more like eyesight and regular eye checks. They say once you turn 60 you should test your hearing yearly!
Thank you for that info....I'll have to remember that important detail since caner runs in my husband's family
Just wondering.... But what good does it do to monitor it? Not like you're gonna stop doing the chemo, right? Will the oncologist really change the treatment due to hearing loss?
I lost my hearing due to meningitis or the antibiotics they used, not sure which.
@smallbeginning2 They won't stop the chemo no, but they can change the drugs and the "cocktail" they use that will not affect the hearing. That's why it's important to monitor.
Antibiotics won't affect hearing, but meningitis is a massive "killer" of hearing. Most people who get meningitis will have hearing loss, typically in one ear. There are things you can do if the hearing is gone completely, and then you can look at a cochlear implant.
I applaud Jess's foresightedness in getting herself a therapy dog! I know, adds to mama Sandi"s workload but ... more than a spoonful of loving helps the medicine go down! 💕💕💕💕
My friend, we came for the sheep. We stay for you: your farm, family, and everything that you so generously share with all of us. Your advocacy for mental health issues is absolutely righteous. And sharing your journey, the smiles and the tears and the struggles and the successes is what makes your videos feel to your Brock Flock like we're coming home, every time you post. Cry if you need to cry. We will still be here.
I could not have said this better!❤❤❤❤❤
Amen!
Yes and Amen!!!
Like what you said. Well put.
So well said, we stay for you. Sheep drew us in. You are why we stay.
After your first chemo they will know more about how much, and how quickly they can infuse the meds. Make sure she brings something to do, mints, a warm blanket, something to snack on, a hat a journal and pen. As a breast cancer survivor I do chemo comfort bags and donate them. My way of giving back. You are doing great!! Prayers being sent.
Donna, congrats on surviving breast cancer. Sounds like good advice on what to take to the chemo appointments, and I admire you for donating the comfort bags. Take care. BJ Wallace
FASTING makes you feel so much better after any chemotherapy. It costs nothing to try, and you will be jumping for joy when you feel amazing after chemo.
My oldest daughter had a double mastectomy the day the world stopped due to "c19". Please Fast before chemotherapy.
Twenty eight years ago a doctor told me to abstain from food 24 hours before chemo or radiation. Clear fluids only, she was right.
Thank you for giving your experiences for Jess. You are an Angel on our Earth. Blessings galore to you.
You can tell when people cry to get attention...that is not you! You are so real and allow us to be a part of your family! Believe me we are crying right with you. Thank you for showing us the real side, not a made up person. That's why we LOVE you and your family so much!
You said this so well. Writing and expressing myself is hard but I totally agree with your description of Sandi. Her videos are keeping me sane as I go through a divorce. I cry with her and it helps me.
Ooooh 5000 to 1 million!!! And all of us are here because you are yourself. Don't worry about crying. We love you for being you. Please never change❤
❤❤❤
You cry or laugh or scream when you need to, there's thousands of arms around you supporting you, hope you feel it. 💜💜🙏🙏
My heart breaks for Jess, I went through the same thing. Colon cancer. Once she gets a couple of treatments done it will settle down. I was terrified…I had worked myself up all the while trying to be strong for my family. Turns out my doctors and nurses were amazing about supporting me and making sure I had plenty of meds to combat the side effects of chemo.
Just be there but don’t hover. I had to run my husband off from my treatments. She is a tough cookie, she is very loved and has thousand of people praying for her. A few years from now this will all be a distant memory. I’m 6 + years in remission . I was Stage 4 when diagnosed.
Take care of yourself Sandy, do t be afraid to show your emotions. That’s your baby! I’d worry if you didn’t cry. ♥️
Congratulations. And be blessed with many more years!🎉
Sandi, I cannot imagine anyone who's been following you for any time thinking you are not completely genuine -- no hidden agendas here. So sorry this is such a difficult time for you and Jess and your family -- cancer is no joke, and facing it requires what's strongest inside us. I know there will be better days as you and Jess figure out exactly how to face this huge challenge. We will be holding the line with thoughts, prayers, vibrations, and everything else we can send you from afar. (The American Cancer Society has a volunteer program of volunteer drivers who will take patients to and from medical appointments. I'm guessing there is a similar system in Canada. Usually these volunteers are folks who've gone through the process themselves or with a family member. Down the road, this may be a resource for Jess.)
They have them here in Alberta, so I am sure that they would be in Ontario. Such a help in getting to appointments and treatments.
I imagine that being involved with many dealing with the challenges of cancer, those volunteer drivers also would be a great source of information and psychological support, too!!! 👍🏻
Continually blown away by both Mark & Sandi's multiple skills. It's "Jack of all trades and Master of ALL, too!!" Impressive work ethic! Energizer bunnies, y'all!! 💕💕💕💕
I've heard that too, people upset about people crying on camera. To be honest I just don't get why we can't accept emotions as a normal part of being human. I mean clearly you are being real and not attention-seeking. You all are so inspiring, keep doing you. ❤
Just want to give a shout out to Sandi, Mark and all the farmers out there...THANK YOU for all your hard work. It has got to be one of the challenging jobs in the world. Both mental and Physical!
A puppy is better medicine then any cure the doctors can come up with. Love little Piper
Happiness is a warm puppy ❣️ and Piper’s tushy wiggles is to die for 😍 my puppy is using me as a cooling mat - ‘Hi’ and best wishes from smoky Alberta
Or a kitten
@@katherinekelly5380 Good luck to you and stay safe. That smoke is wicked.
I’ve never looked at keeping a pet like that! In my family (going back generations) it’s always been “when things are tough the last thing you need is a small animal that requires feeding and cleaning up after” 😢 Hmm, food for thought, thank you. 😊
@@shojinryori sometimes its great to have something else to focus on and to have something that needs you to get up in the morning
My dog also has me laughing out loud at least once a day either by what she does or the situations she gets herself into - this has been really good for me and helps me see the lighter side of life
I for one KNOW you’re not crying for attention. We understand and love you and your whole family!! Thank you for keeping us posted and sharing you sheep and field work with us! ❤️❤️❤️ Prayers for all continued 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
It is ok to cry and it is healthy to do so. Cry and encourage Jess (everone) not to hide her emotions. My mom survived cancer, we cried together often. Good, bad, ugly let it go. Then pick yourselves up dust off and prepare for battle. Prayer was a big help for us. We love you all!❤️🙏
I had chemo in 2013, 12 rounds. March - August. The anti nausea meds were super. I was never sick. No nights with my head ... I hope Jess is relieved from the sickness. It seemed to be a point that our oncology center aimed to relieve the patients from. They didn't want us losing weight. Snuggle down and enjoy little Piper, so cute. Nothing like a pet to soothe the mood.😊
Sending you hugs, lifting your whole family up in prayer. I am thankful to my core for the life you share with us. My husband's favorite question for me me is, "how are the sheep today" since he knows that I decompress completely as the best part of my day. Just know, you are an inspiration when you are just yourself and you REALLY show all the parts of a farm life and wife. Thank you.
My husband asks me the same thing 😂😍
Oh my goodness me 3. And what's cool is that sandy would put a smile on his face also...and he wasn't watching her directly. Goes to show how cool this whole vlog is.
Dear sweet Sandi, Please never allow anyone's negative remarks to stop you from sharing and expressing yourself. You have a huge loving network of strangers that very much appreciate you and your family. You bring so much entertainment to us via your video's, and take hold of a piece of our hearts by sharing personal aspects as well. Much love respect and hugs to you and yours.
We are the BROCK cheer squad. It’s IMPORTANT to share the journey your family is on. We ALL (esp those that love to hang with you all year) think of you as part of my week!!!!! I always 👀 forward to see the notification that you have posted. YOU ALL GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!❤
Hugs to Jess and her full support network - you will get through this. Sandi - did you see the subscriber count for your channel? Might give you a bit of a thrill. 🎉
I’ve been watching it, too.
So close to a million !
What a testimony to the love we all have for Sandi and her family . . .
You can cry any time and we understand. This is your baby going thru something like this and you wish you could take it all away. As mothers we are going thru this with you and always will because we love Jess and you.
Sandi, I loved that shout out to young farmers. It feels so unattainable to farm as a young person now. You almost can not get in without that heritage land. We are hoping our YT channel will one day help us the way it helps you guys! THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING REAL! ❤❤❤❤
Sandi NEVER EVER feel bad for crying!!!! It’s healthy and completely understandable considering what Jess is going through right now. We love you for who you are and being real with us!
Never feel bad for sharing your emotions with us, good or bad. You realize that you being real, honest and authentic is why everyone here loves you as much as they do. You guys are going through a lot right now and if you need to vent, vent. You just posting a video has helped so many of us with a bad day, we are happy to return the favor and show our support when you clearly need the love and support back. Anyone who tells you otherwise isnt worth listening to. Wishing Jess and all of you the best on the next part of her journey back to perfect health!
The difference between crying for attention and sharing the reality of life is clear and you’ve never felt anything other than genuine. ❤ your entire family and the experiences you share. Wishing the best for everyone.
Happy for Jess & Jack that they have strong sibling bond. Bet anyone of you could whip up a spreadsheet to cover Jess's chemo treatments! 💕💕
Anyone who follows your channel knows what you are going through and know your tears are genuine and warranted. I think the majority of us actually admire your families strength and resilience while you go through this. Love and light to you.
Canola blooming is so pretty. One farm near me (Essex County) had so many people stopping for photos that they set up an antique truck for more photo shots. There is signage and a lock box for donations to the local food bank and they are seeing a lot of donations.
I bought a cute pillow with sheep yesterday and it makes me smile as I walk past it, and it’s my reminder to pray for you all 🙂
I did too! It was at Hobby Lobby.
I must check it out! A great reminder to pray for Jess and Sandi! 🙏🏻💕💕🙏🏻
Dear Sandy, your videos are about real life - and sharing is tough. NEVER apologise for being a real life caring wife, mother and partner. As a loyal follower, I’ve learned so much about farming and all its ups and downs. Your family has had a lot of tough times lately and we are supportive from our distance watching . Take care and we will wait for any videos and updates. Don’t make UA-cam another stress point. We it on you !
This whole process of driving Jess back and forth will build an amazing even stronger bond between them. You have been so blessed with such an amazing family
"I'm sorry that you are sick of people crying on their channels, I'm not using it as click bait". Don't worry about crying cus I was watching and I cried for you. My husband is my person that helps me out too. One of your videos he was making you laugh and I was thinking mine does that. Stay strong. Hang in there, you are in my prayers. Love your channel
Cry when you need to, everyone understands. It's a perfectly healthy and reasonable thing to do. Also, ask for and take every bit of help that is offered. People really want to show their love and support, so allowing them to do so helps them and your family.
The canola fields remind me of the fields of sunflowers our area has in August and September. Crowds of people show up to take photos, etc.
Keeping Jess and all of you in our prayers. I'm glad you have a friend who can guide you on what you might expect. Gentle hugs from Maryland.
Sandi, you are doing an incredible job with your emotions with what you are all going through with Jess. You cry anytime you feel! This shows the depth of your love, you don't ever need to apologize. Trust us there are many here crying as well. You and Mark have made an incredible family! Positive energy coming your way!
Sandi, you don't have to EVER apologize for crying!!! Never!!! You guys are going through a lot and you are surviving it all!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I am just totally amazed at all the different tasks you handle ... and handle well!! Thanks for taking us non-farmers along for the tractor rides!!! Stay safe. Love and prayers to Jess and all tge Brocks! ❤🐑🚜
As a couch farmer, I too am impressed with all the tasks that you cover. My Grandparents had a mixed farm so I saw all the jobs they did. They planted hay for the dairy cows and the calves that were raised for market. They also had pigs for market. My Granny bred chickens and also had some goats. My summers were fun when visiting. They didn't have electricity or running water so it was a step back in time and quite novel. When I got older and helped out, water and electricity sure would have helped when working. They finally got electricity but it was still awhile before running water. By then it was neighbours that farmed the land, but Granny had a huge vegetable garden. As we walked through the woods to get flowers for her rock garden, she showed me the birds and animals that lived there. It was always fun to visit and hear the tales about family. Especially about my Mom when she was little.
My favorite animals in the whole world. And my favorite farmer. ❤️💜❤️
Your so beautiful Sandi 💝
Do not apologise for crying. It shows how human you are and how much you care ❤
Don't worry about breaking down and crying, Sandy. We are your friends and it does more harm to hold in emotions. So just be yourself and know we are giving you big hugs ❤❤
Not going to lie chemo is hard. Jess has a beautiful family with lots of support. Sending prayers.
Keep fighting Jess. I have Stage 3 ovarian cancer. But I am 62 yrs old. Yes the drugs they use are hard on your body. Keep a positive attitude. Prayers are going out for you. This channel has help me laugh thru my treatment.
Sandy I have been going through so much the last two years. You,your family,your sheep and your farm have kept me smiling,laughing a few tears of love for what you and your family are going through,it's hard. But you have really given me the fight to fight harder. Thank you and God Bless 🙌. Your daughter is teaching me to be strong! 🙏❤️
I'm always so impressed that Mark apparently can fix ANYTHING
when one owns a farm one must learn to fix things or end up with thousands in bills per month. he is literally a jack of all trades! im all for seeing men and women like him so i too am impressed that someone is still out there doing what many of my generation and back have been doing... oh wait they are literally close to my age so....
Meet the farmer!
Sandi if you need to cry your fans understand. I know what you are going through and I did cry at times when I couldn’t help it. My daughter died of colon cancer in 2021 and it has hit me very hard, she was my best friend, my husband died in 2018, so I had no one to really talk to. If you need to cry when you talk to us it is fine. Love your channel I pray for Jess and the rest of the family. ❤❤❤❤❤
My sympathies to you for your losses. It's good you could cry for some release. So sorry for the loss of your daughter, I know I'm close with mine as well. I can't even imagine that loss. Hugs and hope being on Sandy's blog helps you. ♥
Poor Pita and Teddy being bullied by some of the golden girls, glad Tomatoes is keeping them company and giving them support.
Continuing to send thoughts, prayers, hugs and strength to you, Jess and family. You are an inspiration to many. 💕 to you all from Perth, Australia 🇦🇺
Sorry I guess that I missed the reason teddy and Pita are with the Golden girls?
Crying is okay! You cry because you have a soft heart… and Good Lord!!! It’s your daughter!!
Blessings, Healing and Love ❤
One of the many things we love about you is that you show your humanity, and there's nothing wrong with sharing your fears and pain with your UA-cam family as long as it's your choice to do so. We love you and are "here" for you. ❤️
Through your tears you teach us what it is to love a child to your core. I would worry if you didn’t. You are an open book with life on the farm and all its challenges, so I admire you for sharing the other side of your life too. Jess is a blessing to you and you to her. The level of support and love for her as she faces a challenge no one would wish on a child is amazing. You, Mark, Jack and the rest of your close supports will get Jess through the rough days ahead. Your UA-cam flock will follow you through it and keep you all in thoughts and prayers. The tough reality of still having a farm business to run may be a challenge and a distraction throughout, but if anyone can do it, it’s the Brock family. Hang in there and big hugs.
My prayers are with you all. God never gives us more than we can handle....but I often think he trusts us too much. Hang in there, all of you.
Sandy always remember Tears are never in need of forgiveness. They are a release and often keep us from shattering. You and your family are a real blessing to all of us. We love each of you. You are our extended family and friends
I’m happy to hear news about your family good and difficult. You are part of a family of people far and wide and your happiness is ours and your sadness is ours even if we couldn’t possibly know how you feel. I know the vast majority support you and share your tears. I don’t know how a person in your position could not be emotional. ❤
Sandi you are going through a lot and you are to be commended for your strength. Don't apologize for showing us the real you. Our son had open heart surgery last November and I was a mess. You and your channel helped me through some tough times. I've been saying lots of prayers for you and your family. You are never far from our thoughts. You guys stay safe out there, farming can be a dangerous business. ❤🙏🐑🚜
I am so grateful and thankful for so much joy you share with the world❣️ YOU, Sandi, DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE and I for one am thankful🥰🌺😘
HERE HERE!!
Crying is healthily, there is no need to apologize, We're all here for you, lifting your whole family up in prayer.
As a mother I just had to stop and pray over Jess and all of you as you face this battle. Hugs
So glad to see Piper doing Beagle therapy for Jess- she is such a blessing and a cutie too😊
Loving the agricultural lessons. Saw something go past me on my local road and was like, "I've seen Sandi and Mark using one of them!!" Other people take for granted things around them, but YouUbe is often my eyes (literally) on the world.
Prayers for Jess and you all.❤
My Husband mentioned air seeders and I said the same "I've Sandi & Mark talk about that.
Thank you Sandi. Thank you especially for keeping us updated on Jess, I believe we all really care about you and your family. 🌷💚🙃
You and your family are in my constant prayers, and don’t worry about your eyes leaking, nothing like a good cry.
Laughter is a great healer and tears are a great reliever, both are so good for the body and soul....never apologise for loving your daughter or feeling her pain or fear, we are all behind you as a family and especially Jess. 🙏
Never apologise for showing your feelings to us. We love you all and wish we could be there to help you through this rough time you are all going through. We want to know how everyone is cos we care. Sending you all hugs, strength and prayers ❤❤❤
Cry when you need to cry. Laugh when you feel like laughing. We are all here for our favorite farming family. God bless you all! You are special, and have become dear friends.
You can cry every time that you need to. The sheep drew us in, you and your family made us stay. Praying for all of you.
Sandi - I just want you to know that your whole family has been in my Prayers. Jess is an amazing young woman and you and Mark should both be so Proud!, 🙏💙😇🐶💜😍👏💝
Hey, if anybody has the right to cry on video, it's you. When it's your kids~❣
Moms we are the strength of our kids, even when there adults. We have it all in our heartstrings for them, and our love is there encouragement. Prayers to Sandy and all moms who are just loving there babies throughout these scary situations.
Don't you ever apologize for showing us emotion. We love you and embrace each and every event you are going thru.
To heck with those other channels. You can cry with us ANYTIME. My daughter is a cancer nurse. It's ok to be sad and scared. Jessica is young and strong. All you need to know we are praying our butts off for your family. Jessica is not in this alone.🙏❣❣❣❣🙏❣❣❣
Sandi, please do not worry about crying in your videos. Crying is a natural response to emotional events. It is ok to cry when you are talking about Jess's cancer journey and when sharing the tough parts of farming with us. You are a genuine person and you share hard things with us and that can add another level of stress to an already stressful situation . Give yourself the same same grace and understanding that you would give someone else that was in your shoes.
Sandy, I speak for myself and say that I don’t begrudge you your feelings and emotions and say anyone who does should know they could be the ones going through it. Empathy goes a long way as we reap what we sow. Much love to you and your family ❤❤❤
You are tender hearted. No crime,actually it is a strength!!! There is no shame in your game!!! Tender and strong is an absolutely world changing combination!!😇
We, your community that you built, are with you through thick and thin. We are the shoulders to cry on and the hands to hold and the ones who laugh with you so hard that we have to pee. We are your UA-cam family. Just be you. ❤❤
Hi from Alberta! Can't see the sun this morning (Saturday)! No rain in the forecast of any significant amounts. Dry, hot prairies! Hugs and prayers for you and your family! Don't hide the tears! It's therapeutic for you. Don't worry about what others on youtube think. You got this!
We love and stand with you and your family. Do what is best and we will be here.
We are all human, we laugh, we cry, we rage and we love. Never be afraid to be human, to be a mother, to be a friend. Emotions are just a part of life, and you got a team behind you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us, to show us the good and the bad. ❤
I had a lot of chemo. Best thing we ever did was put out a list of dates and times. I had so many friends sign up. They would meet me at hospital then entertain me while getting chemo. I valued the one on one time with each of them. Just a suggestion.
Here's the thing - when you cry (which isn't often!) there is a REAL reason for your emotions and you're not looking to get attention. You and your family are the "real deal"!! You are so brave to share your ups and downs with all of us and we love you for that. ❤
I wonder why those people ore so cynical. Why must they thinkmthe worst, Is it because that's what they would do? Cry on command to generate sympathy? What nut jobs.
I love the colour of canola ( it’s so strange it’s called something different here in uk 🇬🇧) only a lot of people react to the pollen 😢 but it’s a spectacular sight when in full flower, I have come to appreciate all the hard work farmers put into producing food for us all, thank you Sandy and Mark for showing us what it takes and all the prep and organising etc. keep safe and well, ❤
Some very prudish people in the US reacted to the name "rape seed" so the name was changed. Shrug, what can you do?
Don't worry about your youtube channel. Everyone who subscribes to you loves you and your family and what you do. You are all an inspiration. You feel the need to cry, you do it. It is a necessary emotional release that will help you to cope. We are all crying and cheering for you and your family. Our hearts and minds are right there with you and your family. I am one of the lucky ones. I'm a cancer survivor for 5 years now. Chemo is a hard road. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey.❤🙏😇
Oh girl you are doing fine. I once asked my mom witch of our 7 kids she loves most and she said it change because the one who needs her the most at a time is the one she loves the most. Mom is 86 and she still make time for the kid who needs her the most. And now it's my bother who lost his leg. I proudly can say he now love your post the most.
Sandi, having been on a cancer journey (stage 4 metastatic melanoma that went to his head and stage 3 rectal cancer) with my husband since 2014 until he was cancer free from rectal cancer in 2021 and NED (no evidence of disease) of melanoma 2022, I can tell you that you have to take each day as it comes, embrace ALL who want to help and don't be afraid to show your emotions...it sure helps. God bless Jess in her journey to wellness and the rest of your family in being her support and caregivers. Also, importantly, the caregivers need to relax sometimes too.
It never ceases to amaze me how resiliant and jack-of-all-trades farmers are. Absolute super heros, I dont know how farmers can keep all these things in their heads. Just WOW
Love you Sandi, tears, smiles, sadness, laughter, and all! You remain in our thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
my dad starts chemo on the 26th. I feel ya! praying for you all! I agree, take one day at a time as much as you can.
Prayers for your dad and yourself!
You two are such hard working people, learning so much about farming and lambs. When my mother was going through Chemo, I was the one who took her to the appointments, I was in my forties, now in my sixties. It has it's ups and downs. My mother had a lung cancer(she was a smoker), there was nothing they could do for her so she signed up as a tester for how different chemo treatments worked with different nausea medications, this was with the John Wayne Cancer Center in Los Angeles. These treatments slowed down the spread and gave her 3 good years before it took a turn. My mother would tell the family for the first couple of years that she felt better than she had in decades. She is gone now but I was very proud of her giving nature of doing this testing. She would tell me she didn't mind losing her hair (not all the treatments caused hair loss), but she would get upset when she lost her nose hair, she could never be without a tissue... She would laugh about it. Our Chemo days(once a week or 2 times a month depending on the treatment) were about 4 to 6 hours, plus 2 hours of driving time, I did this for 4 years. My mother would stay on a certain chemo until she had a reaction to it, then they would take a break and start a new chemo treatment. Kept myself busy during her treatments; I made a lot of afghans. Once I started bringing in my yard and hooks, other ladies joined in and started to crochet too. We shared patterns and showed off our projects. There was about 8 people getting Chemo at the same time in the room. I was the only caregiver who stayed in the treatment room during the sessions. My mother and I had some wonderful times together, she had her good and not so good days. She was my elderly mother, not my daughter. My heart goes out to you, don't know how I would handle it. Jess is a strong women, you must be very proud. Sending prayers and love. _Blessings
You can be very proud of the love and support you showed your mother. She must have been an exceptional woman to raise a daughter like you.
I'm currently going through the same thing with my dad. It's so hard to hear certain things... my dad is in his late 70s and I'm in my early 30s. I've been a caregiver my whole life. I'm really scared of what is going to happen if and when I loose him..
Glad that tomatoes is being such a wonderful girl helping out teddy and pita. Hope everything goes smoothly for jess.
"You have a puppy, you're a parent" Yessss Dogs are a lot of work and super rewarding.
Tomatoes the WalMart greeter 😂
Sandi, don’t worry about keeping it real. So sorry your family is going through this. There are many prayers be spoken for your family.
I love the idea & the practice of living & working in a community bound by friendship & family ties. Small is better. Admire how you & Mark & your partners try to farm sustainably. Love your woodlots. Vive les Brocks & company!! 💕💕
Pita's little black face always makes me smile. Also the way Ruby LOVES getting scratched. Thank you for sharing your girls with us.
