@@27aphelps I was wondering if they wanted to edit that out, since they seemed so adamant on not showing us who he was (idk maybe name wasn't what they were talking about)
@@ambersaunders4428 Emily seemed really sad and anxious during the video.. It broke my heart to see Ed and her like that because in 2018 I was in the same situation as them but with the 30+ turtles of my mother after her death.
Can we just respect Emily and Ed for taking care of Two animal collections and still having other responsibilities they both do so much and should be appreciated a lot in my opinion (I changed it because some people couldn’t read)
Hey just so you guys (Ed and Emily) know you did say the guy who was in the hospital's first name on the car ride home with his animals ("We were _____'s emergency contact"). I'm not sure if you guys want to take the video down and reupload it with that edited out or not. Edit: please do upvote this so Ed and Emily can see it. Out of respect for his privacy, please don't go back into the video and look for his name until they have seen the comments and decided whether or not to edit it out. Medical stuff is incredibly personal and we need to respect that.
Thanks for the heads up! We really only didn't want to say his full name. But it's still good to know (we must have slipped because it was an emotional moment), so thanks for thinking of us ❤
I almost went and tried to find it but didn’t I’m still working on self conscious with everything (food, working out, ease dropping, overworking myself, and much more) thank you for putting the please don’t check to find their name! It really helped me and I’m sure it did for other people!! Have a wonderful day or night!! You are appreciated!
I made "baby-books" for each of my pets, with the contact for the vet, breeder, favourite food, calendar for food and complements, weight, size, and personality. And 2 family members have been "educated" in reptile keeping and have experienced handling each and every one of my babies. (Yeah I am that paranoid for their wellbeing).
Big respect to emily and ed for caring for their friends collection even though they have their own very large collection and a facility they’re working on!❤️❤️ i hope your friend gets well very soon and you have good luck taking care of his collection.
When Ed says “most people know how to take care of a dog or cat”......me over here with my diabetic cat that needs insulin injections twice a day thinking “does he count as exotic then” 🤔
watching this after finding out he's sadly past is so heart breaking, he was lucky to have such good friends so he could spend his last few months knowing his animals were taken care of. Hope you guys are holding up okay
Did not expect to come to the comments and find out the friend has passed away 💔 I’m glad you guys still have his animals and even though it wasn’t recent I’m still sending all my love to his family and friends that surely miss him fiercely.
Their house is full of reptiles already. And they take in several reptiles without hesitation to help a friend while working full time in their new facility. it says alot about these 2 nice people! Much love from Norway
I appreciate this video so much. My dad passed away in May 2019, and he spent several days actively dying, so my whole family lived at the hospital with him. I was incredibly blessed to have a best friend who is great with reptiles (and my furry pets too) who came and took care of all of them while we were saying goodbye to my dad. She said it was no big deal, but I hope she knows how much it meant that my animals were in trusted hands while I couldn't be there.
Not to be a weirdo, but I could absolutely feel your collective energy through this video and I am so sorry you all are going through this right now. However, it makes me so happy the critters have you for such great care. Sending all my love.
seeing how sad emily is when they were in the car broke my heart. He's so lucky to have you as friends. The reptiles are truly in the best of hands while their reptile dad is in the hospital. Love and prayers that he comes home safely
The look on Emily’s face in the beginning of the video nearly had me in tears. You guys are awesome for taking care of these animals. Wishing your friend well.
I literally read the description and started crying lol. I usually don't get emotional over these kinds of things but I hope her friend makes a speedy recovery.
I have baby snakes what we can’t take care of so I was wondering if you wanna take care of them😅 one name is tiny Tim and becky and Tyler you can change them if you want they are gardeners if you can please take good care of them
Beside having a person who can take them, have also, printed on paper, a detailed instructions on how to care for every animal. I printed that long time ago and it is on the visible spot :)
Yes, because if you have a pet with any particular needs at all (special diet, meds, exotics) then someone will know what is needed, including for just cats and dogs
Even if you don’t have exotic pets, if you live alone (like I do) it’s a good idea to have a note in you emergency contact details that you have a dog/cat at home.
After reading the community tab I looked for this video and when I heard the name "Chad" dropped in the video my heart hurt. I'm sorry for your lost of a great friend.
I've heard of getting people to take care of your exotic pet when you're gone, such as a closely bonded family member or an appropriate animal rescue but I never considered having a godparent for them! It reminds me of Jamie and Dave from Birdtricks, their godparents to Storm, a parrot they trained to freefly, and I thought it was the sweetest and most precious thing I've ever heard.
Not everything lol. There's carpet pythons, green tree pythons, spotted pythons, black headed pythons, stimson's pythons, children's pythons. :) then there are all the venomous ones for those who are licensed :)
@@KaitlynBurtonISaGOD All snakes are illegal in NZ. Not a single snake down here. I'd love to have a snake but not at the expense of our native animals. We have enough trouble with those damn possums.
Even common pets, like a dog or cat- it's super important to have a back up plan. A lot of times, families either don't know how to care for animals or they simply can't or don't want to. It's sad how many pets end up in shelters due to sudden passing of their owners.

A good idea is also to talk to your exotic vet about your emergency plans. Especially for temporary situations. One year, we were hit by a freak hurricane that left us without power for 8 days in super hot weather, and I couldn’t keep my chinchillas cool. (I ran an a/c for them, since I lived in an apt.) My vet used generators during that time to stay open, and they were able to keep my chins the whole week. (& They were saints... didn’t even charge me, and every day when I visited to care for my little guys, they had already been fed and played with. The vet techs spoiled them rotten all week.
I wish I had a friend like you. Caring for my cats and dogs while having covid is one of the hardest things I've had to do. He's lucky to have such great friends. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
I'm sorry you had/are having Covid! I hope you can get a family member or a friend or somebody to take care of your animals in the future if you're ever sick and need to focus on your health.
Animals are like children, you have to have a plan for emergencies. Write out a care sheet, include your vet, etc. I hope your friend gets better without issues. You did mention the name in this video, on the drive home. Might want to edit that if you want to keep privacy.
@@charissaclarice I'm guessing you're disagreeing with the 'animals are like children' statement? But whether you agree or not, you *do* have to have a back up plan, otherwise animals go forgotten and eventually starve, which I'm sure is tons of fun to come out of the hospital to.
@@CoRLex-jh5vx Yeah, there are many ways they're not like children (apparently you're not supposed to leave children alone in an enclosure lined with leaf litter 😄), but I completely agree with Beka O'Meara's statement: The similar part is you are responsible for both animals and for children, and part of being responsible is making plans for if something happens to you. I don't have an exotic animal, I only have a cat, but she has some medical complications, so I really appreciated Emily's reminder that I need to make sure her care is all written out.
Hey sorry for your friend being in the hospital I know what that feels like my dad fell backwards and hit his head and he was not breathing my nana found him on the floor then she got my mom and my mom did cpr and he got put on a tube six days ago and he dose not have COVID-19 and he can talk and move and he woke up and we did not think he was going to make it he is coming home in a week or two but I am thankful to know that my dad is ok so I am praying for your friend like I do for my dad
I know how it feels when someone falls, my aunt fell and things got worse, she was yet alive but hanging on a thread. The thing is, the tread, it.... broken. We went to her funeral, I cried like a baby. My one regret is that I didn't go up to her body to say goodbye, she was cremated, so that regret can never ever be broken.
@@snowdragon8573 For what it's worth, as someone who's also lost loved ones... we don't get only one chance to say goodbye. You pay respects to your aunt when you think about her, when you remember her and how much you loved her.
I just had a loved one pass from covid and she had a cat and I brought him home with me . Makes me feel like I can still help and care for my loved one.
I am so sorry for your loss it must be so hard to cope with everything going on right now. I just find it inspiring how you still make the choice to be a good person and take care of their pet, who would be also having a tough time.❤️
Emily and Ed are probably the nicest people I know, she has the zoo to take care of. She went out of her way just to take care of those reptiles for a couple months cause her good friend is in the hospital! They are very good friends. Tell Cheyenne I said hi if you see this.
After about two years of asking and proving to my mother that I’m responsible enough to care for a snake, she finally agreed to let me own an eastern hognose snake! I really thank this channel for a few things, helping me overcome my fear of snakes, and starting my love for the reptiles i once feared, ty Emily!
My aunt has a golden retriever. She just spent an emergency 4 months at my house. After my aunt had a medical emergency. My aunt lives 3 states away. She has children in that state. Her dog came to my house. It was not planned. I was not the emergency contact for the dog. I was just the only one willing and able to step up and do it. My cousin lived with the dog for over a year, but was unwilling to take the dog in. I flew there basically broke into my aunt's house and kidnapped the dog and stole her car. She knew this was all happening and I stayed in contact with her the entire time. Yes dogs and cats are easier to care for, but you still have to plan for it.
Prayers for the guy who is sick. Thankful you guys were able to step on and help him out in his time of need. What a blessing you two are to him. Hoping a good and quick recovery.
I love how loving and understanding Emily's and Ed's audience is. The fact you guys were able to include the decor for each of the temporarily listed animals is just so awesome.
You can tell how Emily was faking a smile , it’s really inspirational how she can still record something if something serious happened to a close friend. We love ya Emily
Its so interesting seeing animals that just chill in my yard being exotic pets halfway around the world. That bluey looks really happy though. I love them, they are great guests in our yard.
Why are Emily and Ed the sweetest people in the world? They are so humble and I can't believe they would take their time to help their friend who is clearly very ill. Get well soon and well done to Emily and Ed for all you do for not just your friends but also for us. You guys are the reason I want to be a zoologist (it's been 4 years!) Anyway we all want to say thank you for all you do! Abigail xx
Hope that your friend makes a speedy and complete recovery, it's a hell of a lot for you guys with everything else that's going on in your lives just now... also just wanted to say that Skink is so gorgeous! 😍
Emily, I’ve never seen you so out of sorts. I can really see the concerns in your face. Thoughts and prayers to your friend. Take care, you’re an amazing couple.
Go Fund Me is not a good operation they take a huge chunk of what is donated. It's best to just designate someone trusted that will collect and hold funds. A bank account in their name or with their name as the title and the trustee to pay towards the hospital, would be free and a better idea.
Me being an empath and wanting to cry this whole video because I can feel how absolutely gutted you guys are about whatever the situation is. I truly hope your friend makes a full recovery.
This is a great lesson if you have or planning to have pets, especially exotic pets. Designating a competant caretaker in an emergency is a very wise plan.
Watching this video 7 months later, hoping your friend is doing better now. Thanks for being there for him (& his reptiles) in their time of need. ❤️❤️
At first I thought you meant that Ed and Emily should have planned better and had empty space in case one of their friends ends up in the hospital and I was mad, then I realized what you meant.
Sending love and strength to the family and human who is in the hospital. Good friends who can care for your pets are hard to come by. Glad he has y'all.
I’m so sorry for your friend’s condition 💔 I could tell just from the beginning that it was serious just by how subdued Emily was, but it hurt my heart to see how sad she got as the video went on. Thank you for filming this for us even though you’re suffering and it’s hard to have your heart all the way in it.
:0 I don’t have a snake but I never thought of having an emergency contact for my rabbit thank you, a lot of people don’t know how to properly care for them :)
It made me stop and think about what I'd want for my pey jumping spiders if something happened. They're weird pets even by most exotic pets standards but I'd still want them cared for.
What a gorgeous collection, I an wishing for rapid recovery for your friend. He has excellent taste. Also that albino rosie should be nicknamed Creamsicle.
Just saw this video. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend for a full recovery. I had a bone marrow transplant two years ago so I know how fragile life can be.
My grandma is very sick right now, so I understand the sort of feelings you're going through. Thank you for taking care of his animals, your kindness always warms my heart
Oh no, I hope your friend is okay! I wish them the best and hope they recover :( But it’s an amazing thing that you are offering to help take care of their animals :)
I’m very lucky that everyone in my household loves my bearded dragon. So when I was hospitalized for a month for my major surgery they took great care of him. I’m going to make sure to thank them thoroughly tomorrow 😭
He is so lucky to have amazing friends like you all. His blue tongue sink is adorable. I love it already so much. Keep up the amazing work guys. And thank you for spreading this message. It was one we all needed to hear. Especially during the sad times we are all facing.
I really hope he’s okay, lucky his family knew what to do. I actually wrote a book like thing for family for my bearded dragon so they’d know how to care for him lol. I love skinks! Looked so chill.
Wishing your friend the speediest of recovery and best wishes. He's lucky to have you guys as caregivers for his reptiles their in very good hands. You guys are amazing.
Wow.. How sweet you guys are.. ❤ I love that you are so caring to do this for your friend. Also.. that is ssoo smart of your friend.. I hope his recovery went well.. 🙏 I know I'm 4 years late to the party.. but it just so sweet.. and caring of you guys.. ❤️ 💕 😢

(& They were saints... didn’t even charge me, and every day when I visited to care for my little guys, they had already been fed and played with. The vet techs spoiled them rotten all week.
I wish I had a friend like you. Caring for my cats and dogs while having covid is one of the hardest things I've had to do. He's lucky to have such great friends. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
I'm sorry you had/are having Covid! I hope you can get a family member or a friend or somebody to take care of your animals in the future if you're ever sick and need to focus on your health.
Animals are like children, you have to have a plan for emergencies. Write out a care sheet, include your vet, etc.
I hope your friend gets better without issues. You did mention the name in this video, on the drive home. Might want to edit that if you want to keep privacy.

@@charissaclarice ?
@@charissaclarice what is your problem
@@charissaclarice I'm guessing you're disagreeing with the 'animals are like children' statement? But whether you agree or not, you *do* have to have a back up plan, otherwise animals go forgotten and eventually starve, which I'm sure is tons of fun to come out of the hospital to.
@@CoRLex-jh5vx Yeah, there are many ways they're not like children (apparently you're not supposed to leave children alone in an enclosure lined with leaf litter 😄), but I completely agree with Beka O'Meara's statement: The similar part is you are responsible for both animals and for children, and part of being responsible is making plans for if something happens to you. I don't have an exotic animal, I only have a cat, but she has some medical complications, so I really appreciated Emily's reminder that I need to make sure her care is all written out.
Hey sorry for your friend being in the hospital I know what that feels like my dad fell backwards and hit his head and he was not breathing my nana found him on the floor then she got my mom and my mom did cpr and he got put on a tube six days ago and he dose not have COVID-19 and he can talk and move and he woke up and we did not think he was going to make it he is coming home in a week or two but I am thankful to know that my dad is ok so I am praying for your friend like I do for my dad
I know how it feels when someone falls, my aunt fell and things got worse, she was yet alive but hanging on a thread. The thing is, the tread, it.... broken. We went to her funeral, I cried like a baby. My one regret is that I didn't go up to her body to say goodbye, she was cremated, so that regret can never ever be broken.
broke
@@snowdragon8573 For what it's worth, as someone who's also lost loved ones... we don't get only one chance to say goodbye. You pay respects to your aunt when you think about her, when you remember her and how much you loved her.
That's sad for both of u
that was a bad acident hope he is ok that would have been very seriouse sorry to hear that
I just had a loved one pass from covid and she had a cat and I brought him home with me . Makes me feel like I can still help and care for my loved one.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad you could take her cat in so you could be a comfort to each other.
I am sorry.
Covid is a real virus. Ms.Morris, I’m sorry for your loss. I’m not joking when I say that Covid 19 is a real virus and needs to be taken seriously
I am so sorry for your loss it must be so hard to cope with everything going on right now. I just find it inspiring how you still make the choice to be a good person and take care of their pet, who would be also having a tough time.❤️
Rest in Peace Chad, but at least his reptiles are in good hands.
I hadn't even thought of an emergency plan for my kid's snake, Boop. (Boop the Snoot, the 8 year old named it). Good idea.
Oh my god that is the most perfect name I have ever heard
*b o o p*
I hope he recovers soon. He's lucky to have such great friends. I wish you and your friend the best if luck
Since it's been 2 months, and we haven't heard anything, I assume, and truly hope your friend has recovered
Unfortunately, in one of their recent videos about a month ago they confirmed that the friend sadly passed away from his illness
@@mikkurzhal7390 this is so sad :( do u know which video?
I’m really sorry about your friend and hope he has a speedy recovery. But it is cool seeing all of the critters!
Spotted Python: “Wat?! I can fit in here? Hah! Dats pretty neat”
Me: Making a list of mah favorite quotes that Ed has impersonated for snakes.
Me doing the same thing: wow I think my list has every single quote
Ed's quotes are the best
Emily and Ed are probably the nicest people I know, she has the zoo to take care of. She went out of her way just to take care of those reptiles for a couple months cause her good friend is in the hospital! They are very good friends. Tell Cheyenne I said hi if you see this.
The intro made me so sad cause emily looked and sounded like she was gonna cry
Whenever I hear the name Fatness Everdeen I can’t help but giggle. I’m sorry for her loss, she was a good noodle
Fatness died??? Nooooo 😞😞😞😞
@@asmodeuso27 She did 😢
@@H0SANNA Do you know what video that was revealed?
Aw thats sad...
@@giabarrone7422 I think the first video when they came out of brumation last year. She passed while brumating :(
After about two years of asking and proving to my mother that I’m responsible enough to care for a snake, she finally agreed to let me own an eastern hognose snake!
I really thank this channel for a few things, helping me overcome my fear of snakes, and starting my love for the reptiles i once feared, ty Emily!
You can tell Emily and Ed are really bummed out about their friend... kinda breaks my heart to see them so sad
Yea its sad but he'll fell better
My aunt has a golden retriever. She just spent an emergency 4 months at my house. After my aunt had a medical emergency. My aunt lives 3 states away. She has children in that state. Her dog came to my house. It was not planned. I was not the emergency contact for the dog. I was just the only one willing and able to step up and do it. My cousin lived with the dog for over a year, but was unwilling to take the dog in. I flew there basically broke into my aunt's house and kidnapped the dog and stole her car. She knew this was all happening and I stayed in contact with her the entire time.
Yes dogs and cats are easier to care for, but you still have to plan for it.
@Brian Smith the breed being friendly doesn’t mean that particular dog is friendly.
Prayers for the guy who is sick. Thankful you guys were able to step on and help him out in his time of need. What a blessing you two are to him. Hoping a good and quick recovery.
He unfortunately passed away
I hope he gets better soon. At least he can know that his animals are in great hands.
I love how loving and understanding Emily's and Ed's audience is. The fact you guys were able to include the decor for each of the temporarily listed animals is just so awesome.
You can tell how Emily was faking a smile , it’s really inspirational how she can still record something if something serious happened to a close friend. We love ya Emily
Its so interesting seeing animals that just chill in my yard being exotic pets halfway around the world. That bluey looks really happy though. I love them, they are great guests in our yard.
Why are Emily and Ed the sweetest people in the world? They are so humble and I can't believe they would take their time to help their friend who is clearly very ill. Get well soon and well done to Emily and Ed for all you do for not just your friends but also for us. You guys are the reason I want to be a zoologist (it's been 4 years!) Anyway we all want to say thank you for all you do! Abigail xx
this is so true you are the sweetest you go to crazy lengths for a friend
Thanks for being such special people!
Sending best wishes for your friend, I hope he recovers soon
Bless your friend, I hope he gets better and I hope you enjoy taking care of his animals!
Hope that your friend makes a speedy and complete recovery, it's a hell of a lot for you guys with everything else that's going on in your lives just now... also just wanted to say that Skink is so gorgeous! 😍
Emily, I’ve never seen you so out of sorts. I can really see the concerns in your face. Thoughts and prayers to your friend. Take care, you’re an amazing couple.
ED’S HAIR LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!
Also y’all are wonderful people for doing this friend of yours.
RIP Chad ❤
Is there perhaps a gofundme for the family and/or your friend's medical bills we could contribute to?
Yeah
Hi
Go Fund Me is not a good operation they take a huge chunk of what is donated. It's best to just designate someone trusted that will collect and hold funds. A bank account in their name or with their name as the title and the trustee to pay towards the hospital, would be free and a better idea.
I believe they said his name. I really hope there is I would donate
@@amandastakeonit7402 idk know that. Thanks for the advice
I hope he gets better soon, he’s lucky to have you guys as friends!
Me being an empath and wanting to cry this whole video because I can feel how absolutely gutted you guys are about whatever the situation is. I truly hope your friend makes a full recovery.
I feel ya. Positive vibes for the sick friend
This is a great lesson if you have or planning to have pets, especially exotic pets. Designating a competant caretaker in an emergency is a very wise plan.
Oh my gosh. When Emily looked at the camera to tell her friend, "We love ya," I burst into tears. My heart.
Watching this video 7 months later, hoping your friend is doing better now. Thanks for being there for him (& his reptiles) in their time of need. ❤️❤️
This is why it's important to plan for scenarios like this.
But also it must be great to have amazing friends like Emily and Ed.
At first I thought you meant that Ed and Emily should have planned better and had empty space in case one of their friends ends up in the hospital and I was mad, then I realized what you meant.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking I need to teach my husband how to care for my turtles.
@@ethanwang3066 Definitely inspires us to be the kind of friends Emily and Ed are.
He will be so relieved to know that his pets are in good care.
Sending love and strength to the family and human who is in the hospital. Good friends who can care for your pets are hard to come by. Glad he has y'all.
We will all pray that your friend will get better 🙏🙏🙏 he’s lucky to have you guys as friends 😊😊😊
I’m so sorry for your friend’s condition 💔 I could tell just from the beginning that it was serious just by how subdued Emily was, but it hurt my heart to see how sad she got as the video went on. Thank you for filming this for us even though you’re suffering and it’s hard to have your heart all the way in it.
:0 I don’t have a snake but I never thought of having an emergency contact for my rabbit thank you, a lot of people don’t know how to properly care for them :)
It made me stop and think about what I'd want for my pey jumping spiders if something happened. They're weird pets even by most exotic pets standards but I'd still want them cared for.
I have two of my friends as my emergency contact for my dogs. They are so helpful whenever we’re traveling.
What a gorgeous collection, I an wishing for rapid recovery for your friend. He has excellent taste. Also that albino rosie should be nicknamed Creamsicle.
Just saw this video. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend for a full recovery. I had a bone marrow transplant two years ago so I know how fragile life can be.
Emily : *holds foxsnake*
Fox snake : YOU NOT MY DAD!
I hope you’re friend gets better soon.❤️❤️❤️
And how is The baby snapping turtle that was deformed that Ed loved
I hope the friend is ok! You're amazing for stepping up and taking care of them all even though I'm sure you were struggling too
I really hope your friend starts to feeling better. He is really lucky to have y’all as friends taking care of his reptiles
My grandma is very sick right now, so I understand the sort of feelings you're going through. Thank you for taking care of his animals, your kindness always warms my heart
I hope your grandma gets better
I'm sure that really helped his family that they didn't have to worry about his pets.
Oh no, I hope your friend is okay! I wish them the best and hope they recover :( But it’s an amazing thing that you are offering to help take care of their animals :)
I’m very lucky that everyone in my household loves my bearded dragon. So when I was hospitalized for a month for my major surgery they took great care of him. I’m going to make sure to thank them thoroughly tomorrow 😭
Not Emily and Ed being absolutely amazing humans. 🥺 Your friend is really lucky to have friends like you!
I'm sorry about your friend and hope they get well soon, but y'all are really good friends for taking care of their reptiles until he gets better :)
Sorry to hear about your friend. They sound very close to you because your moods have differed. Hope they get better they have my prayers 🙏
Praying for your friend to have a speedy recovery 🙏❤️
Emily: “Whoa, look at that strike”
Fox Snake: “I did not do da strike, I did dem head bob” D:
Hehee
Lol, haha!
He is so lucky to have amazing friends like you all. His blue tongue sink is adorable. I love it already so much. Keep up the amazing work guys. And thank you for spreading this message. It was one we all needed to hear. Especially during the sad times we are all facing.
Your friend is in my prayers. You guys are such good people.
I really hope he’s okay, lucky his family knew what to do. I actually wrote a book like thing for family for my bearded dragon so they’d know how to care for him lol. I love skinks! Looked so chill.
Wishing your friend the speediest of recovery and best wishes. He's lucky to have you guys as caregivers for his reptiles their in very good hands. You guys are amazing.
So sad to hear that he passed. Wishing you all the best. RIP Chad
Wait, he died?
Nevermind, I read the community post. This is really sad.
OMG, I have not been here in a while, and when I saw his hair and how colorful it was I was in shock!
I've been watching them and idk if I missed something or what but I wasn't expecting it lol
@@peachxtaehyung He said he dyed it for two million. It was actually a thing the fans were excited for for a long time.
@@juliusroman8616 ahh OK I didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know I guess I missed that lol
@@peachxtaehyung Welcome.
You can just feel the pain that they are in through their eyes and voices, I hope so much that everything turns out ok, much support 💙
Wow.. How sweet you guys are.. ❤ I love that you are so caring to do this for your friend. Also.. that is ssoo smart of your friend.. I hope his recovery went well.. 🙏 I know I'm 4 years late to the party.. but it just so sweet.. and caring of you guys.. ❤️ 💕 😢
