I cried through this entire dedication and video. So very sorry to Aaron and your entire family. To open gifts your mom picked out and not having her there in person must have been so hard. Your bonus dad is so amazing. All those gifts yr after yr for the children and they put so much thought into it. The photos you gave him meant the world to him. I cried. As someone who has lost both parents and my brother, this really choked me up. Crystal that was so sweet to take John around and show him all the lights. My heart goes out to you all. Aaron's mom was so generous, kind, loving and sweet. May she rest with the angels and always watch over you all. Love, from Nova Scotia. You're in my prayers. xo
Oh my goodness, when Hannah and Arianna looked at each other and hugged grandpa. My heart! What a special day with loved ones. It is clear that love runs deep in your family, as it should be. It makes me happy that your kids still have grandparents to enjoy!
I love that Aaron has Joy and the kids around to help him through this rough time. It's also amazing that you guys have so many videos and pictures to remember things with Aarons mom it's amazing and so good to see her and hear her voice. Aaron needs a food processor for his ideas like potatoes abd stuff.
The amount of tears I shed on this one... whew! Having lost my mom 21 years ago... I can honestly say, it does get easier... and yet, that hole in your heart can never be filled by anyone or anything else. You have my prayers, Aaron. To the family, love on him, yes... but also, give him space to be alone when need be. Grief is a journey... and no two journeys will look the same. You have my heartfelt prayers, Aaron. Trusting God to help you find moments of joy and rest as you navigate the days ahead.
I understand the pain that you guys are all experiencing right now. My nan passed away at the start of July unexpectedly, however she hadn’t been well for a while. This was our first Christmas without her and it was very emotional. Merry Christmas to you guys and I hope you’re all doing well 💜
It’s always hard losing a loved one but it’s especially harder losing a loved one so close to holidays. Prayers for your family through this difficult time
Aaron, my heart and prayers are with you, your family and John. Your mom was always so sweet in the videos and we got to see how truly blessed you were to have had her for your mom.
When John says “We’ll be okay” at the end of the video while hugging the girls… so many tears 🥺 This was such a beautiful tribute to honor Aaron’s mom. Your family is in my thoughts & prayers! ♥️🙏🏼
The first Christmas without a loved one can be so hard but I know the love of all those beautiful grandchildren helped lift GrandPa. Honestly GrandMa was there, her spirit was in the smiles, the hugs and love surrounding you all.
I believe the same thing. Three years ago my Mum passed away from cancer the day after Christmas. I suddenly started seeing feathers everywhere and I knew it was Mum letting Dad and I know she is still with us. On the anniversary of her death Dad called me to the kitchen and there were eight little birds doing figure eights dipping up and down so fast for at least an hour. One month and a day later Dad passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep. After that I stopped seeing feathers and I felt it was because they are up in heaven so happy, pain free and even though I'm terminally ill they know I've fought illness my whole life and that 13 years ago my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live so I'm strong and when the right time comes I'll see them again. Thank you for reminding me of the peace I have because of the small signs that let me know I'm not alone.
I feel all your pain. I lost my mom and dad at a young age. But keep the tradition they did with us and grandkids. Prayers you all get though this season and slowly grieve without being filmed. Prayers for all of you. Aaron a big hug to you..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔
Love and prayers for Aaron, John and all of the family. It was so sweet to see the memories of Grandma Carol with all of the children, they were so little. God bless you all! ❤
The way she kissed Hannah on the head while Aaron was hugging her 🥲🤍🕊️🙏🏽 So sweet! Rest in Peace Grandma 🩵 btw Lucas’s hair looks so cool!! He should get the sides & back of his hair faded out & keep the top for the curls but trimmed slightly literally just a mm or 2 at the most for better curls.
I can really feel Aaron sorrow. It's hard when you lose someone important in your life, it's like you lost a piece of you and you can't get it back. I feel that especially in the holidays but it's part of life. in time the ones who are still there will fill the emptiness and you have a big family that can help you get through it. Happy Holiday Crazy Pieces.
I usually watch your vlogs during my lunch breaks. I really had to speed through a bunch of this one because I started tearing up and the crying look isn't pretty while at work. But since the first skim through I have sat and watched this again from start to finish and I have to say this is one really beautiful story you have told through love and imagery. My heart goes out to Aaron, John, Crystal and the rest of the family. Together is where you all belong.
My mom passed away very unexpectedly in 2010 and the pain of losing her is always there. I teared up watching this because it hits so close to home! I’m sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your journey. 💕
I know the pain you all are feeling. I lost my mom 4 years ago. Just know she is your angel & is with you always. God bless. Keeping you all in my prayers. (((( hugs)))
WOW that was an awesome tribute to Grandma .... my prayers go out to Grandpa and your family. It's very hard this time of year ... I lost my mom on 11/08/23 and Thanksgiving and Christmas just weren't the same but I was told that it will get easier in time
I have lost both my parents, mom 5 years ago and dad 28 years. I can't even say I understand your pain..Loss yes, but pain, no. everyone's pain is different and they behave differently..I want to saw how deeply sorry I am. Loss of mom is so difficult. Just be good to yourself, take time, eat, shower and breath..Take it day by day..The ups and downs will last a life time. It never gets better, it gets different..Bless you all. Hope all had a wonderful Christmas ❤❤❤
O my heart this is such a beautiful video of love and memories!! I lost my mom in 2017 and even though it'll be 7 years January 20th my heart never stops missing her. May your mom always watch over you being your beautiful guardian angel !!
What a beautiful gift for grandpa .Prayers. 28:45 for you all. it's always hard when you lose your mother. I know I lossed mine in 2017 .God bless you all !
Dear Pettit Family, Carol had this whole community as an extended family, I've lived her since she first appeared in the vlogs, a long with Grandpa John, she was such an amazing lady, mom and grandmother, the love she had for everyone was so beautiful. I am so very sorry for your loss. This was my first Christmas without my mom, she passed away Sept 5 with dementia, my heart goes out to you all. Just know you have someone in East Tennessee that loves you all and will miss seeing Carol❤
I know how all of grandchildren are feeling right now. Because I lost my nana When I was 17 years old. Christmas was her favorite holiday. Merry Christmas crazy piece
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. What an amazing lady she was. We just lost my cousin right before thanksgiving. He was 34 and autistic. I spent alot of my childhood helping my aunt at all his special needs events in the community.
I already know I'm going to cry. I remember the first Christmas Eve during the pandemic his parents came to give presents just stayed outside. They didnt want to miss it. Ugh that video has me balling. 😢 My heart aches for Aaron and you all that grandma isn't going to be there. 💔
I'm sorry for the loss of "grandma"...I know she was very loved and will be missed❤ I really think Halie looks ALOT like grandma. Merry Christmas to you all. May God bless you.
I love how much the girls are all grandpa girls, and he knows them so well. Broke my heart for the family that you lost such an important part of the family grandma's are such the glue to the family.
Losing someone so close to the holidays can be so hard. The holidays are always gonna hurt after you lose someone. But it does get easier! You guys should make a new tradition to celebrate Aaron’s mom’s life on Christmas Eve. She was such a beautiful, kind woman. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💖 happy holidays to your amazing family.
My heart goes out to you. This is not an easy time but loss and grief is unfortunately a part of this life. As we grieve we grow and we tend to appreciate life and time a bit more. I don’t how anyone watching isn’t crying, I’m a blubbering wreck! Know you are in our hearts and prayers. May your memories of her sustain you this holiday season.
Grandma had a fantastic life, so much love was bestowed on her, and she certainly felt the love and devotion of her grand chldren, which is the most precious gift of all. You all gave her a wonderful life full of heartwarming memories and the best of times.
These last couple of videos have definitely been so tear jerking. I loved seeing the kids when they were little and I loved watching the expression on her face. Take Care all of you and sending much comforting peace..
Thank you for sharing this Christmas celebration, mixed with grief. But mostly as a sweet tribute to Grandma Carol and sign of affection for Grandpa John. I have seen all the vlogs of Christmas at Grandma's on your channel. The most touching was the one during Covid, where Grandma and John came to you. And you opened gifts outside on the truck. The Sweetest 🌸 ✨️🌸
I know how hard it is to grieve and for your family to grieve in the public is that much more difficult. I truly feel for your family especially Aaron and John. My heart grieves for you and it reminded me of my own dad that I lost last year. Hugs to all.
Watching the past videos and the now, one beautiful thing i see is all the hugs and love. As a grandma, I was thinking what an amazing blessing to have so many grandchildren hugs they receive/received from all their lovely grandchildren. Aarons mom sure gave and received a heck of a lot of love in those arms. What a beautiful soul
I know exactly know what you are going through. I lost my mom 32yrs ago New Year Day morning. We put her in the hospital on Christmas night. I still miss her everyday. But she isn't suffering anymore. Just keep her memory in your heart
I just want to hug each one of you and say I love you for sharing your life’s with us for all these years . I’m looking for many more . I’m 64 and 65 Jan 12 and I’ve been alone for years for all holidays . My kids are busy and I’ve not seen them since my Mums funeral in Nov 2018 . They just don’t call or visit because I stay so sick . So enjoy your precious family and God bless .
I cried through this video. I would get a pic of grandma and it is a picture ornament and put it on your tree every year I have one of my and and grandma. Love u guys and send u all hug and prayers ❤
It was a heartfelt video watching the previous Christmas eves with grandma carol 🥹 got a little teary eyed big hugs to grandpa and Aaron 🩷 May your family have a blessed 2024
I cried through the whole video, this is my 2nd Christmas without my mom and the feelings are still so raw 😞 Arron (and family) I am so sorry for your loss... You all are in my thoughts and prayers. this is a beautiful tribute to grandma! Rest high in heaven sweet lady!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Know that your mom is not in pain anymore. Heavenly father and passed loved ones will care for till you are reunited.. sending our love..❤
Losing a loved one is never easy!! Around the holidays is even harder. My husband passed away in December 22nd of ‘O5. Even with all the years that have gone by it hasn’t been the same since…..
Can I just say that losing a parent never gets easy, the grief never ends. I was 16 when I watched my dad take his la at breath, 10 years have been an it’s never gotten easier, you just learn to adjust to life with out them and having to walk your life carrying them with in your heart. Your all so amazing and I send my love and condolences to you all. From Kent England uk x
Ah man, I cried through this whole thing. To know the heartache he must be feeling, how life still is going on but his wife's not here I can't imagine. I'm going to miss seeing her, she had the sweetest relationship with the kids it makes me miss my own grandma so much. Love your family and God bless.
Beautiful tribute to your mom Aaron!! I lost my younger sister 2013, then my mom 2019, and this year 2023 a brother and a niece!! Stay strong!! Much love to all!! God bless!! ❤️🙏
Many tears shed here for your loss. I know how hard it is to loose your parents. Never easy then you realize you are now the parents for all your family. It gets easier but the firsts are always the hardest. Prayers to you all as you go through this pain. God bless.
Loved watching these videos of the children with grandma and grandpa and watching how much the children have grown and all the wonderful memories you all share. Grandma has them all with her somewhere ❤🎄🌌🌠 in your hearts forever. Memories and love in your hearts ...so precious♥
The year first is very hard after losing a loved one. I lost my mom to cancer in 2018 when I was 19 month before my 20th birthday. Aaron, take as much time as you need to grief. The one thing that sucks about grief is it will sneak up on you no matter how long the loved one has been gone for. Just take each day one day at a time. May your mother rest in peace no more suffering in pain
As bittersweet as it is you gave Grandpa one of the greatest gifts of all. Quality time with his family. You surrounded him with love in this time of hardship and sorrow. I'm sure he misses his wife dearly but spending Christmas Eve with everyone I'm sure helped fill the gap significantly
What a beautiful tribute for your mom, I am sure she is watching over you all. Grandpa is surrounded by so much love from you all, and the picture frame with photos he loved so much. Blessings to you all.
So sorry, prayers for you. It never gets better, it just gets easier to deal. Your dad will need lots of attention, so I’m praying for him to have comfort and strength, because living most of your life with your spouse, it’s hard when you don’t have them. Sending hugs
I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my my mom right before my 30th birthday. It was the night of thanksgiving when she passed from heart failure from Parkinson’s. It was very hard especially with my birthday right before Christmas. So I understand how hard it is. Especially when my niece was born after she passed not even a month after. Christmas was hard for me after that for a long time. Because I was missing that person who made it special, but my son kept me going and he is a new years baby. So I had to keep going even though it was hard especially that first year. It’s been 11 years since I lost her and it’s still has its moments. I don’t think we can ever get over our loss of a parent we just learn to live without them. It’s hard but you will eventually get a little better, but it will still out of nowhere hit you. Hugs and my prayers
So hard losing a parent/grandparent. My heart hurts for you all. Treat yourselves gently, the year of firsts is the hardest, remember the good times and the love and be thankful both were and are bountiful. It will still hurt and that is perfectly normal, grief is a roller coaster for sure
I’m so glad that Aaron and John are embraced by a ton of family and are loved beyond measure. That’s what we need during difficult times. I know loss all to well myself. You just have to remember all the good times and make more memories while we are here. ❤
Pettit family I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom and grandma. I truly felt the love from all of you in this entire video. I was crying while watching. It so hard to lose someone so close to you. I lost my mom when I was 18 and I lost my grandma when I was 30. The 1st holiday of every holiday without is the hardest. It doesn't get easier but you learn to live with it unfortunately. I know she was smiling down on you all this Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pettit family.
You have such lovely memories with Aaron's mom. I know how hard it is to look at photos after you lose someone. My mom passed 2 1/2 years ago and I still tear up when seeing photos of her especially holiday photos. Christmas & birthdays are still hard without her, but I am so thankful for the memories of her. Hugs to all of you during this difficult time!
I think the dog senses that Aaron is very sad so she’s like, “daddy, I am here for you!” That is so cute.
Dog does know.
The dogs were around Grandpa, too!❤
Dogs are really smart
Yes@@kspang656 Yes they know.
I cried through this entire dedication and video. So very sorry to Aaron and your entire family. To open gifts your mom picked out and not having her there in person must have been so hard. Your bonus dad is so amazing. All those gifts yr after yr for the children and they put so much thought into it. The photos you gave him meant the world to him. I cried. As someone who has lost both parents and my brother, this really choked me up.
Crystal that was so sweet to take John around and show him all the lights. My heart goes out to you all. Aaron's mom was so generous, kind, loving and sweet. May she rest with the angels and always watch over you all.
Love, from Nova Scotia. You're in my prayers. xo
Ur not the only one who cried through the full thing my heart still hurts it's so raw when u loose a parent/grand parent
Just another tear jerker. God Bless Grandpa. I love your family and God Bless you all.
Me 2
Me too
Seriously well said! Your in my prayers I love you guys so much
Oh my goodness, when Hannah and Arianna looked at each other and hugged grandpa. My heart! What a special day with loved ones. It is clear that love runs deep in your family, as it should be. It makes me happy that your kids still have grandparents to enjoy!
I love that Aaron has Joy and the kids around to help him through this rough time. It's also amazing that you guys have so many videos and pictures to remember things with Aarons mom it's amazing and so good to see her and hear her voice. Aaron needs a food processor for his ideas like potatoes abd stuff.
The amount of tears I shed on this one... whew! Having lost my mom 21 years ago... I can honestly say, it does get easier... and yet, that hole in your heart can never be filled by anyone or anything else. You have my prayers, Aaron. To the family, love on him, yes... but also, give him space to be alone when need be. Grief is a journey... and no two journeys will look the same. You have my heartfelt prayers, Aaron. Trusting God to help you find moments of joy and rest as you navigate the days ahead.
That's why I'm not watching it sometimes sadness isn't good
I understand the pain that you guys are all experiencing right now. My nan passed away at the start of July unexpectedly, however she hadn’t been well for a while. This was our first Christmas without her and it was very emotional. Merry Christmas to you guys and I hope you’re all doing well 💜
I’m so sorry for your loss! I don’t know your religion but Jesus and God are here for you❤
Sorry for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss ❤
Sorry for your loss
My nan died last March, this was 2nd Christmas without her and just doesn't feel the same . Hopefully it gets less hard as the years go by❤❤❤
It’s always hard losing a loved one but it’s especially harder losing a loved one so close to holidays. Prayers for your family through this difficult time
Such a wonderful tribute to Aaron’s mother and a warm night for Grandpa ❤️🙏❤️
Aaron, my heart and prayers are with you, your family and John. Your mom was always so sweet in the videos and we got to see how truly blessed you were to have had her for your mom.
When John says “We’ll be okay” at the end of the video while hugging the girls… so many tears 🥺
This was such a beautiful tribute to honor Aaron’s mom. Your family is in my thoughts & prayers! ♥️🙏🏼
I'm not going to cry ..I'm not going to cry.. dang it you made me cry😢
The first Christmas without a loved one can be so hard but I know the love of all those beautiful grandchildren helped lift GrandPa. Honestly GrandMa was there, her spirit was in the smiles, the hugs and love surrounding you all.
I believe the same thing. Three years ago my Mum passed away from cancer the day after Christmas. I suddenly started seeing feathers everywhere and I knew it was Mum letting Dad and I know she is still with us. On the anniversary of her death Dad called me to the kitchen and there were eight little birds doing figure eights dipping up and down so fast for at least an hour. One month and a day later Dad passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep. After that I stopped seeing feathers and I felt it was because they are up in heaven so happy, pain free and even though I'm terminally ill they know I've fought illness my whole life and that 13 years ago my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live so I'm strong and when the right time comes I'll see them again. Thank you for reminding me of the peace I have because of the small signs that let me know I'm not alone.
Such precious memories. She loved her grand kids. In the loss you are still blessed. She would be so happy to see you guys carrying on.
I feel all your pain. I lost my mom and dad at a young age. But keep the tradition they did with us and grandkids. Prayers you all get though this season and slowly grieve without being filmed. Prayers for all of you. Aaron a big hug to you..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔
Love and prayers for Aaron, John and all of the family. It was so sweet to see the memories of Grandma Carol with all of the children, they were so little. God bless you all! ❤
What a special day! It was hard watching through my tears. Sending so much love to all of you. Grandma was so loved. ❤🎄
God bless you Carol 🫶
May he enfold you in his love as he welcomed you home🙏💕
Rest in Paradise 🌟
I also understand my grandma passed away in Feb so it was the first Christmas without my gran which does make it a sad day
Mom and Grandma memories will last a lifetime. So very sweet.
The way she kissed Hannah on the head while Aaron was hugging her 🥲🤍🕊️🙏🏽 So sweet! Rest in Peace Grandma 🩵 btw Lucas’s hair looks so cool!! He should get the sides & back of his hair faded out & keep the top for the curls but trimmed slightly literally just a mm or 2 at the most for better curls.
I can really feel Aaron sorrow. It's hard when you lose someone important in your life, it's like you lost a piece of you and you can't get it back. I feel that especially in the holidays but it's part of life. in time the ones who are still there will fill the emptiness and you have a big family that can help you get through it. Happy Holiday Crazy Pieces.

My mom passed away very unexpectedly in 2010 and the pain of losing her is always there. I teared up watching this because it hits so close to home! I’m sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your journey. 💕
Like everyone else, the tears were flowing.
Hannah and Ariana were so special when he opened his picture.
I’m glad you had such a blessed Christmas. ❤
I know the pain you all are feeling. I lost my mom 4 years ago. Just know she is your angel & is with you always. God bless. Keeping you all in my prayers. (((( hugs)))
I’m so sorry for the loss that you have endured… this video definitely pulls my heart strings😢😢😢
WOW that was an awesome tribute to Grandma .... my prayers go out to Grandpa and your family. It's very hard this time of year ... I lost my mom on 11/08/23 and Thanksgiving and Christmas just weren't the same but I was told that it will get easier in time
Mam, sorry for your loss. May God give you a peace in your heart. Much love sent from Missouri

I have lost both my parents, mom 5 years ago and dad 28 years. I can't even say I understand your pain..Loss yes, but pain, no. everyone's pain is different and they behave differently..I want to saw how deeply sorry I am. Loss of mom is so difficult.

Dear Pettit Family,
Carol had this whole community as an extended family, I've lived her since she first appeared in the vlogs, a long with Grandpa John, she was such an amazing lady, mom and grandmother, the love she had for everyone was so beautiful.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
This was my first Christmas without my mom, she passed away Sept 5 with dementia, my heart goes out to you all.
Just know you have someone in East Tennessee that loves you all and will miss seeing Carol❤
Sorry for your loss
Love Aaron's mom tender kiss it's just like the whole family from joy to everyone😊
I know how all of grandchildren are feeling right now. Because I lost my nana When I was 17 years old. Christmas was her favorite holiday. Merry Christmas crazy piece
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. What an amazing lady she was. We just lost my cousin right before thanksgiving. He was 34 and autistic. I spent alot of my childhood helping my aunt at all his special needs events in the community.
When john said grandma would of liked this it broke my heart, and i started crying.
Such awesome memories. All of you will cherish them forever. So sorry for your loss. ❤
I already know I'm going to cry. I remember the first Christmas Eve during the pandemic his parents came to give presents just stayed outside. They didnt want to miss it. Ugh that video has me balling. 😢 My heart aches for Aaron and you all that grandma isn't going to be there. 💔
Much love to you all, Grandpa is surrounded by love, Aaron your mom is smiling knowing that how much you all love him..
I'm sorry for the loss of "grandma"...I know she was very loved and will be missed❤ I really think Halie looks ALOT like grandma. Merry Christmas to you all. May God bless you.
Yes Halie to me has looked more like Grandma than Dad or Mom.
Great tribute to Carol and beautiful tradition. I cried throughout the video.
I love how much the girls are all grandpa girls, and he knows them so well. Broke my heart for the family that you lost such an important part of the family grandma's are such the glue to the family.
Losing someone so close to the holidays can be so hard. The holidays are always gonna hurt after you lose someone. But it does get easier! You guys should make a new tradition to celebrate Aaron’s mom’s life on Christmas Eve. She was such a beautiful, kind woman. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💖 happy holidays to your amazing family.
My heart goes out to you. This is not an easy time but loss and grief is unfortunately a part of this life. As we grieve we grow and we tend to appreciate life and time a bit more. I don’t how anyone watching isn’t crying, I’m a blubbering wreck! Know you are in our hearts and prayers. May your memories of her sustain you this holiday season.
Glass can be easily replaced! Nothing to worry about! Blessings to all. I love you guys.
Grandma had a fantastic life, so much love was bestowed on her, and she certainly felt the love and devotion of her grand chldren, which is the most precious gift of all. You all gave her a wonderful life full of heartwarming memories and the best of times.
These last couple of videos have definitely been so tear jerking. I loved seeing the kids when they were little and I loved watching the expression on her face. Take Care all of you and sending much comforting peace..
I can see how much Aaron is struggling he is trying so hard I’m sending lots of prayers for comfort and love ❤holidays are hard when you lose someone
Grandma was truly a beautiful person! I feel as if I’ve lost someone special too! Aaron my heart breaks for you!
Thank you for sharing this Christmas celebration, mixed with grief. But mostly as a sweet tribute to Grandma Carol and sign of affection for Grandpa John.
I have seen all the vlogs of Christmas at Grandma's on your channel.
The most touching was the one during Covid, where Grandma and John came to you. And you opened gifts outside on the truck.
The Sweetest 🌸 ✨️🌸
I know how hard it is to grieve and for your family to grieve in the public is that much more difficult. I truly feel for your family especially Aaron and John. My heart grieves for you and it reminded me of my own dad that I lost last year. Hugs to all.
Alex's comment about how gorgeous his grandma is 😭😭😭😍😍😍
Watching the past videos and the now, one beautiful thing i see is all the hugs and love. As a grandma, I was thinking what an amazing blessing to have so many grandchildren hugs they receive/received from all their lovely grandchildren. Aarons mom sure gave and received a heck of a lot of love in those arms. What a beautiful soul
I know exactly know what you are going through. I lost my mom 32yrs ago New Year Day morning. We put her in the hospital on Christmas night. I still miss her everyday. But she isn't suffering anymore. Just keep her memory in your heart
I just want to hug each one of you and say I love you for sharing your life’s with us for all these years . I’m looking for many more . I’m 64 and 65 Jan 12 and I’ve been alone for years for all holidays . My kids are busy and I’ve not seen them since my Mums funeral in Nov 2018 . They just don’t call or visit because I stay so sick . So enjoy your precious family and God bless .
I cried through this video. I would get a pic of grandma and it is a picture ornament and put it on your tree every year I have one of my and and grandma. Love u guys and send u all hug and prayers ❤
I understand your loss losing someone around this holiday season is hard
Sending all the love and prayers in this tough time 💜
It was a heartfelt video watching the previous Christmas eves with grandma carol 🥹 got a little teary eyed big hugs to grandpa and Aaron 🩷 May your family have a blessed 2024
I cried through the whole video, this is my 2nd Christmas without my mom and the feelings are still so raw 😞 Arron (and family) I am so sorry for your loss... You all are in my thoughts and prayers. this is a beautiful tribute to grandma! Rest high in heaven sweet lady!
I’m glad you guys had a wonderful time with grandpa. Making the best out of what you can and still being able to be together.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Know that your mom is not in pain anymore. Heavenly father and passed loved ones will care for till you are reunited.. sending our love..❤
Losing a loved one is never easy!! Around the holidays is even harder. My husband passed away in December 22nd of ‘O5. Even with all the years that have gone by it hasn’t been the same since…..
Can I just say that losing a parent never gets easy, the grief never ends. I was 16 when I watched my dad take his la at breath, 10 years have been an it’s never gotten easier, you just learn to adjust to life with out them and having to walk your life carrying them with in your heart. Your all so amazing and I send my love and condolences to you all.

Ah man, I cried through this whole thing. To know the heartache he must be feeling, how life still is going on but his wife's not here I can't imagine. I'm going to miss seeing her, she had the sweetest relationship with the kids it makes me miss my own grandma so much. Love your family and God bless.

Many tears shed here for your loss. I know how hard it is to loose your parents. Never easy then you realize you are now the parents for all your family. It gets easier but the firsts are always the hardest. Prayers to you all as you go through this pain. God bless.
Loved watching these videos of the children with grandma and grandpa and watching how much the children have grown and all the wonderful memories you all share. Grandma has them all with her somewhere ❤🎄🌌🌠 in your hearts forever. Memories and love in your hearts ...so precious♥
The year first is very hard after losing a loved one. I lost my mom to cancer in 2018 when I was 19 month before my 20th birthday. Aaron, take as much time as you need to grief. The one thing that sucks about grief is it will sneak up on you no matter how long the loved one has been gone for. Just take each day one day at a time. May your mother rest in peace no more suffering in pain
Thank you to you and your family for sharing the happy and sad times. You feel like family to me.
As bittersweet as it is you gave Grandpa one of the greatest gifts of all. Quality time with his family. You surrounded him with love in this time of hardship and sorrow. I'm sure he misses his wife dearly but spending Christmas Eve with everyone I'm sure helped fill the gap significantly
This was a very nice tribute to Aaron’s mom. Joy definitely knows her daddy needs love and support. Love to all of you from New Hampshire!
Beautiful memories!! Keep them always close at heart.
What a beautiful tribute for your mom, I am sure she is watching over you all. Grandpa is surrounded by so much love from you all, and the picture frame with photos he loved so much. Blessings to you all.
So sorry, prayers for you. It never gets better, it just gets easier to deal. Your dad will need lots of attention, so I’m praying for him to have comfort and strength, because living most of your life with your spouse, it’s hard when you don’t have them. Sending hugs
I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my my mom right before my 30th birthday. It was the night of thanksgiving when she passed from heart failure from Parkinson’s. It was very hard especially with my birthday right before Christmas. So I understand how hard it is. Especially when my niece was born after she passed not even a month after. Christmas was hard for me after that for a long time. Because I was missing that person who made it special, but my son kept me going and he is a new years baby. So I had to keep going even though it was hard especially that first year. It’s been 11 years since I lost her and it’s still has its moments. I don’t think we can ever get over our loss of a parent we just learn to live without them. It’s hard but you will eventually get a little better, but it will still out of nowhere hit you. Hugs and my prayers
I cried when you did the flashbacks, when John opened the picture frame and the end. May she rest in peace and always be watching over you all.
Sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and the rest of the family! Hope you enjoy your New Years!
Awesome seeing grandmas and grandpa in past years. I know they loved every minute of being with the kids. Y’all keep John busy. It’s hard I know. Hugs
My condolences to the family. You've been my comfort over the past six years since I knew you.
So sorry for your loss Aaron. Sending good thoughts and hugs from TX. :) Merry Christmas and happy holidays Pettit family.
Sorry about your loss of your Grandmother 🥺🥺 Awesome having Grandpa for Christmas. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🎄🎄🎄🎄❄❄❄❄
First Christmases without anyone are so hard, and for it to be so raw for you makes it even harder. My heart goes out to you x
Sending so much love to you and your whole family!
Can I stop crying now? So sweet…what a beautiful time you all had with Grandpa and showing beautiful memories of Gradma. 🙏🏻💜💐
This is a beautiful tribute to Grandma! R I P! I AM SO SORRY!
So hard losing a parent/grandparent. My heart hurts for you all. Treat yourselves gently, the year of firsts is the hardest, remember the good times and the love and be thankful both were and are bountiful. It will still hurt and that is perfectly normal, grief is a roller coaster for sure
I’m so glad that Aaron and John are embraced by a ton of family and are loved beyond measure. That’s what we need during difficult times. I know loss all to well myself. You just have to remember all the good times and make more memories while we are here. ❤
I loved the old video added about Aaron's mother. So sweet. Please add in other old videos.
Thank you for sharing your joy and your pain. My heart goes out to you all. Namaste and Blessings
Very sweet. I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad for all your happy memories
Pettit family I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom and grandma. I truly felt the love from all of you in this entire video. I was crying while watching. It so hard to lose someone so close to you. I lost my mom when I was 18 and I lost my grandma when I was 30. The 1st holiday of every holiday without is the hardest. It doesn't get easier but you learn to live with it unfortunately. I know she was smiling down on you all this Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pettit family.
What a beautiful dedication to your mum, be very proud and remember her with a smile not a tear
What a beautiful memory. So nice to have all those videos.
You have such lovely memories with Aaron's mom. I know how hard it is to look at photos after you lose someone. My mom passed 2 1/2 years ago and I still tear up when seeing photos of her especially holiday photos. Christmas & birthdays are still hard without her, but I am so thankful for the memories of her. Hugs to all of you during this difficult time!
