      I do hope you get home to your family. I was diagnosed last week with breast cancer. I won’t know until after the lymph nodes are tested , if the cancer has spread . The surgery is coming up. I know I won’t need chemo but will have radiation if there is cancer in the lymph nodes. Are you there because of COVID 19 . I pray you get back to your family.

    As a completely blind person, it's fantastic to see awareness being raised that we're not completely helpless, and can, infact, do many things indipendently.., like having a family.
    I wanted to thank both the family and NZOnAir for such a realistic and non-judgmental depiction of the realities of living with no site.
    I went to a specialest school for the blind in England, so I sometimes forget how non-disabled people see us and what we can or can't do.
    Speaking as a musician and music teacher it's also graite to find large groups of people willing to work together in such a productive and constructive way.
    Although, does anyone know if the studio engineers and producers were blind as well?

    @4SEEN FAMILY - I am having one of those anxious, sleepless nights though it's 2:35 am EST, USA, so I picked up my tablet, and here we are.🙋🏾‍♀️ Samantha, your voice, whether speaking or singing, is so soothing. I love the complete family interaction that you have with your beautiful and handsome sons!! I have 5 children, and I had my hands full, ending up a single mom, then grandmother, and now, a great-grandmother. I say all that to say this: Jason and Samantha, the words you share about each other, the aspirations you have for your children/family, just blessed me😇😇😇 And of course, your proud Father 💯% supports you, the smile on his face when he speaks of you and your family, my goodness. Your family story has been like a ray of sunshine for me, at this moment. You all are living proof that IT CAN BE DONE. You are encouraging me, and I hope someone else, just by being yourselves 👏🏾👏🏾 Many Blessings to you and yours. 💞💞

    I sure am! 😀
    Big thanks to this channel too! I love all these shows and am so grateful to all the families and individuals that allow me/us into their lives each episode. You’re ALL amazing 🤩❤️

  • @gailrodgers3079

    Wow! What a family. I saw a video on a British family with two legally blind parents that kept having babies and expected their two oldest girls to do all the work while the mom and dad for the most part stayed out of the way and their reason for having all the children they did was so that they would have help when they were old, pretty much forgetting the fact that their kids were doing most everything already. The younger kids were filthy and those in diapers had to wait for their sisters to get home to change the poopy diapers. Even though the mom was perfectly capable of holding the baby and giving them a bottle, that got passed off tot he daughters as well. Dad did some stuff, but they lived in a fantasy world that they were 'self-sufficient'.
    Now this family is 'self-sufficient'. I think Sam would have been appalled to be seen as a mother that didn't give the baby its bottle and I am pretty sure she changed diapers. They are interacting with those kids constantly. Raising kids with a disability is doable. The children for what helo they give have to know it is appreciated and that mom and dad love and care for them. Fantastic story here!

    • @4seenfamily551
      @4seenfamily551 4 роки тому +4

      Gail Rodgers thank you very much for your comment, I am certainly appalled to read the portrayal of that family you are talking about! I am definitely a champion of the all members of the family should contribute mentality, but leaving the poor darlings in their dirty nappies until the older siblings get home? My babies have never had to Touch a dirty nappy unless it is to take it to the rubbish bin, in fact they are currently begging that if we have more babies they will change nappies but I won’t have it. Why have babies if you don’t want to nurture them? I was clearly very affected by that story 😂😂🤣 my sincere apologies. It’s just I have come up against so many prejudicial people who probably saw the same story and think we are in capable, that our children are somehow disadvantaged by our disability, even that they would be better off being raised by other families. I am at least glad we are able to get our story out there to show how absolutely possible it is for anyone with the right attitude/mentality. Much appreciation from our family to yours.

      Deborah Kennedy when you rely on your ears most of all it is relatively easy to monitor the boys even when not being in the same. Also we are heavily involved with the school as volunteers with Parent groups and other projects They Have going on. Also with voice Technology Home work and Online work due to lockdown is easily accessible on the iPhone. Emails and Parent teacher interviews are also Not a problem at all as the school is About 2km from our residential address.

    They are smart. That’s what my family just drives for as well, we have not been blessed with human children yet but your best bet we will work together with them. Just like we already do with each other. I agree with her on the Believe that the children not having disabilities is a privilege. There are people that do not have what they have. I’ve never thought of it that way but I guess I think of it the same. The people that think it is strict can afford to just not teach their children these things because it’s not part of their lives.
