Your whole family exudes so much love and warmth! Sorry you are feeling down, however, this is a necessary part of your journey ❤️ One day, you will be making your own holiday memories! You are truly amazing! 🥰
Praying for you as you navigate the holidays. My heart truly goes out to you. I loved see you and your sister interact on this vlog! I am so thankful that you have such a sweet, caring, supportive family to lean on at this time- and always💛
I had thanksgiving shortly after my long-term relationship ended, and my siblings were there with their partners and kids. I sat with my mom for a few minutes and just cried because even though I was with family, it was the realization that things were different. It gets easier with time though. Try to focus o n creating new memories with your family. Love ya girl!
Hi! I’m sure you realize this but all of those clips of you and your mom, her looking so happy on her birthday, your sister trying on clothes… you’ll be so thankful to have those to look back on in the future. Such a loving family!
Your parents are divine, absolute lovely couple. So cute when "dad" suggested the shelves needed an upgrade. Beautiful flower arrangement for your Mom's bday. Generous and supportive parents, you're so blessed Michel😇.
I feel you on how sad you’re feeling during the holidays. I get severe anxiety since the past four Christmases have been awful but I’m hoping to somehow make it special for my teen and I despite it only being us. It is a roller coaster, the first ones are painful, but your family is so supportive which is amazing, you’ll get through this darkness season, be kind to yourself, rest and do what you enjoy. The pain doesn’t last forever, but that doesn’t stop when it hurts. I just wish I could give you a hug and talk about our experiences, but I really hope you realise how sharing this journey with the good and bad, it shows your honesty despite the fact it must be hard sharing vulnerable moments to so many of us, but as a fellow struggling human, we all support you and love you. 💜
Allow yourself enough time to grieve. You have lost someone who's been a big part of your adult life. I lost my mom almost 4 months ago and the tears just sneak up on you out of the blue. Just live in the moment and let you're heart feel what it needs to feel and then put one foot in front of the other. There is no set time as to when you "should" feel better just take each moment as it comes. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you for sharing your family with us and being real about how the holidays can be challenging. Being around family is great and you being emotional is just fine. You are going through a HUGE life change. You will build a 'new' life, memories, traditions. It is not easy but please remember to give yourself grace and be kind to yourself. One day at a time! 🤗
From someone who went through what you’re going through 2.5 years ago, I am sooo glad to see you hanging out and spending so much time with your family. They will certainly help you heal and calm your soul. Family is everything. Soak it in for sure. Prayers for you during the holiday season as well, the “firsts” are very hard.
I'm almost 65...from a large family and am a widow too. I so get the sad feelings on the holidays. Try my hardest not to think about it. My mom was a Christmas angel in my heart and eyes...I miss my parents so very much, lost a brother last year too. Once mom passed away the family drifted apart. Nobody liked my husband and that pushed them further away...tears are always a part of the holidays nowadays. Nope don't hear from but one sister anymore. Can't because they still try to run my life. I really should start new memories, yes that's what I'm going to do.😊 Find cheer where ever I can. Sigh should say it gets better with time, but for me it hasn't. Your still young enough...I'm sure you will have many more happy holidays to come...and delightful memories too. Love, Hugs and Prayers...what a lovely caring family you have. They are true treasures.😉❤💚🎄🎁
Your whole family just exudes warmth and love and I am so glad you get to be near them during this time. Change is always hard but you are going to get through this and be stronger because of it. Hang in there sweet girl because brighter days are ahead.
I am so sorry about what happened sweetie, but just know that it does get better. It is so awesome how your family is there for you, and how close you all are. Just take time for yourself, and enjoy the holidays with friends and family. If you ever need anyone to talk too I would be honored to help in any way possible.
I am praying for you. I went through exactly what you went through only I had a six-month-old at the time. I will not lie to you and say that it’s easy because it is very very hard. Some days you feel like your heart will not mend. But then a month ago by and another month and then a year and before you know it you will start to feel better. There may still be days that are hard but it does get easier. Hang in there keep your head up and continue spending time with your family they are what will help get you through the rough days.
My heart just aches for you sweety. I pray that God holds you through these difficult times ahead. You are a friend that anyone would be fortunate to have. Stay strong. ❤
Having been in your position before my heart just goes out to you so much ❤ I wish I had these vlogs when I was in your position. I can relate !, I have so much respect for you. I'm sure it is so difficult to share yourself at this time. I can assure you that your honesty will resonate with so many. You will get through all this! Things will get better ❤ Sending you so much love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
I love how peaceful and warm your family is! I know it's not easy right now, but focusing on the reason for the season can take your mind off of it and definitely help you make it though! Jesus loves you so much, Michel! Praying that He helps you through and that you still find joy in this season!
Sending you so much love during this season. I’m proud of you for having boundaries and knowing what you feel up to. I recently listed to Taylor Swifts old song called “Begin Again” and the lyrics stating the following: “I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end but on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again” It made me think of you. I know you’re light years away from thinking about that but I really believe that on a Wednesday in a cafe, you’ll watch it begin again ❤️ Stay strong
Yes holidays are hard when going thru this situation! I lived thru it as well. You can do it. Family is what makes a huge difference. Love your vids. Hope your Christmas is lovely and you feel loved! X❤️🤗
I understand about it’s hard this first holidays. Both my parents passed away last Jan(my Dad) 3 wks later my Mom 😢😢😢 It’s my first holidays without them and I understand about not eating right, taking care of myself. And to top it off my daughter went to AL and is working the Shakespeare festival. I’ve NEVER been without her! I am so proud of her for sure! Needless to say I’ve cried everyday (sometimes more than once) I have empathy for you friend!
❤❤❤❤❤. I remember first holiday with my mom. It was very hard for me. Thanks for good friends and family at the time. U will heal and find your way back to normal. I promise in your own time ok. Keep up great work. U can do it.
Holidays and grief...so very hard. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. Your apartment is looking so lovely. I'm glad that you are close enough to family to travel back and forth. You are so deeply loved. It doesn't erase the pain but you can draw strength and comfort from those family relationships. (Isaiah 43:2)
I hope you continue to spend family time and take things one day at a time. Your life wasn't built in a day and changing it will take time, but I believe everything happens for a reason and I have faith you will be truly happy/fulfilled. We're here for you and thank you for including us in your journey. Sending love and prayers!
I went through the same after 20 years of marriage. My daughters got me through it. Family is everything. 🥰. So nice to see you and your family. Good days bad days. One step at a times. X
I’m really enjoying your Vlogs. I watch your channel more than I did before. I appreciate the real talk and sharing real life. What a lovely family you have as well. 🤍🤍🤍
Nice to see you having fun and smiling being with your family! Take more of those memories and put them in your mind and try and replace those with your past situation they are much a happier thoughts for you!
Aww Happy Birthday to your sweet beautiful mom 🎂🎉🎈. This was so nice to see you with your awesome family! You are truly blessed!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day & weekend. Give Max lots of hugs 🤗. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
You have a beautiful family! Beautiful shines through the love you have for each other, the support you give to each other and the true joy you have in your hearts when you are together❤️
My hometown has a Dickens on Main Street also😍Praying you continue to do better, one day at a time. I look forward to your videos & enjoy them so so much! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, sweet girl ❤️Oh, and Sir Max 🐶 also😁
Holidays are SO hard!! I live on my own in a different country from my entire friend and family group and it’s all fun and games until Christmas and the traditions arrive and you can’t see anyone…. Please remember that just because it’s Christmas you do not need to feel happy! You don’t need to do or feel anything you can’t or don’t want to. It’s hard, it’s really really hard, but I promise you babes you are NOT alone. We’re in this together and my heart goes out to you. It will get easier I promise ❤️
Give yourself grace to feel how you feel for the holidays. Know they will be hard and different, but eventually they will become the holidays again in a new way. I separated from my ex husband right before Thanksgiving and it took years until I felt Christmassy again and looked forward to it again. Hugs and love!
My husband had a massive stroke May 1st. The damage to his brain has in 100% dependant on 24 hour care. He is in a nursing home. I live 4 hours from my family. I was just going to skip Christmas. Atleast that's what I told myself. However my 17 year old daughter and 4 year old grand daughter put my tree up and decorated it for me. The past 6 months have been so hard. Not only dealing with the stroke but my son got diagnosed with cancer went through chemo and may have to go to Emory in Atlanta and my 17 year old is 16 weeks pregnant. I cried just about all day today. I have good days and bad days. Christmas is definitely making me very emotional. I miss having my husband to help me through the tough stuff. I'm having to learn to do it on my own and I wasn't ready for that yet. You are such a sweet young lady. I pray in time your heart heals and you find peace.
I struggled with getting settled when we moved in August between two trips. Now we're finally making progress in December. 😅 take your time, you got this.
Glad you could be with your family! Holidays are hard try not to be too hard on yourself and set reasonable expectations. You can do it! Also I love hearing you talk about fashion and interior design you are really good at it!
I value your transparency through this difficult time. I am going on my second year of holidays without my ex of six years and it’s still difficult this year since last year wasn’t really normal anyway. I feel for you and I pray you have some healing this holiday season.
Just remember you are spending time with the most important people in your life your Christmas will be Special with your Family and can do what you want try to put your sadness behind you and enjoy your holiday time with your family try to smile and make the time special for your Mom's Birthday try to be happy for her they know your hurting in your heart but you are on to a better life for yourself you are a strong and courageous Lady and will do just fine.
I remember when I realized my husband was ending our marriage I went to the grocery store with my aunt and all I could do was follow her. I couldn’t make any decisions at all about what to buy. You’re not along in your struggle, it’s part of grief. It does get better though. ❤️
Your family is BEAUTIFUL!!! 💕😊. The Dickens Village SERIOUSLY has a Stars Hollow vibe. 🎄I am praying for peace for your heart, mind and spirit. 💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think you’re going to meet someone in next couple of years, and be happier than ever, until then, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I never married and for a period of several years, I lived far from any family, and resources didn’t allow me to travel. I’ve spent my fair share of holidays by myself, so I know how hard it can be at holiday time. I also have a sister and a brother. But we are all your moms age.
JJ is such a cutie-patootie and your family are just the sweetest! It’s easy to see how much comfort they must bring to you through this season of healing. Praying that Christmas is still beautiful (albeit different) for you this year ❤️
I think being home with your family is the best thing for you during your healing process. I agree with having your family vlogs are by far the best. You have the sweetest family, everyone is so friendly, loving, welcoming, and I feel a part of it ... it's like I'm right there with everyone. I look forward to your daily videos. Love the try-on hauls, unboxings, your apartment updates, and your dad is absolutely adorable!! Such a cute smile!! And his car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! Hot, hot, hot!!! Ok, enough of that ... don't want your mom coming after me with a gun. Lol You, your sister, and your mom, look identical. You could all pass for sisters. Hope your holidays with your family will be all you want and need them to be. Many blessings to all of you!
I had my first thanksgiving as a divorced woman this year and it was hard on me too. I had you in my thoughts and in a strange way it was nice to send good vibes your way while I was feeling down. You'll be in my thoughts again for Christmas. It'll get better.
Sweet darling Michel , wishing you could feel all of your community we love you so much please don'tt be sad :'(. Give thanks for all you have and move on (don't look back into your memories) dont worry you will make much more happy memories cuz you have you ! Sending you all the strength you need to just be brave
Sorry only getting to see your vlog now... Allow yourself to grieve the breakup.. a loss being in death or divorce is never easy... I lost my husband 9 years ago and special occasions are still heart felt... his loss will always be with me.. the loss will always be with you but each day gets easier... God never puts difficult times in our life that we cannot handle... So keep you head up and shed a tear when you need to... it's natural... Love from Cape Town, South Africa..
Oh Michel, my heart breaks to see the pain you're in, but I know it will ease. You will create new habits and new traditions, different ways to celebrate that don't remind you of the previous years. I'm sure you've heard people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Sometimes there is a lesson to be learned, and we move on in different directions. Sometimes we are together for a season of time before our lives take us down different paths. At times we may think this or that relationship is a lifetime relationship, only to find it wasn't. That's very disheartening, but you will grow from the experience. You are so strong and surrounded by so many people who truly love you. Be gentle with yourself, especially during the emotional rollercoaster the holidays bring. I love you and I'm praying for you.
Holidays are freakin hard! I’m nervous about Christmas too. I’m going to be celebrating alone again this year, I don’t live near my family. I pray we both will find joy this holiday 💗
Michel, I’m also going through a divorce right now. It is so heartbreaking being a Christian and feeling like I’ve failed. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I feel you fully when you say the holidays are especially hard. It would have been mine and his fifth one together, but I’ve noticed leaning on my family helps me so much. God has a plan for you and He is the rock which we all stand and lean on. I’m sending you a huge hug. This too shall pass! You are strong, courageous, and beautiful. I am SO proud of you.
All my love and strength to you during this season that has already been tough for you. But you are an amazing woman and l believe you will make it trough. Friend you are loved
You are amazing. I admire your process and bravery. I have no doubt you will find yourself on the other side faster than you think. Just want to share the reason Thanksgiving is great. You can say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Of course something always offends someone but for the most part wishing people a happy Thanksgiving and every reason to smile is just a feel good thing all around and it can last all month. Talking to people all day on the phone , the way their voice gets happier and softer when we go from business to "Have a beautiful happy Thanksgiving." is palpable.
Keep your head up and I will pray for you! I know how you feel I went through divorce after 10 years and with 2 kids. I was a stay at home mom and had to get back into the workforce. I'm 62 tomorrow and it does get better trust me. You are so lucky to have your beautiful parents. They remind me of my parents whom I lost a few years ago and miss them so much. They were always there for me. I love watching your video's and love seeing how your parents support you. Just give them all the love and thanks you can. Trust in the Lord for He will get you through this.
This is a beautiful video! It is so hard for me this year too! My daughter passed away last year, and the rest of the year went by super fast and it is coming up on the day she got sick and went into the hospital. I love watching videos about eating healthy and creating, and crafting and sewing and so much more, but I am grateful to you for this wonderful video!!!!!!! Happy birthday to your mother!!! :)
Thankful u are surrounded by fam!......my 1st holiday away from my 3 kids was like a slow death but now 12yr later and 2 of my kids are now adults they still hurt but differently
Your family is awesome!!! I'm so sorry you're having to go through this but I promise it will get easier. It might take awhile though so please remember to take care of you. I know you're trying to budget but maybe take some time to have a spa day. It'll help you feel great and it's a good confidence booster!! ❤❤❤
I love everything about this video.Your fam is so sweet,and you need those vibes in your life,I can 100% see where you get your sweet,wonderful,kind and loving personality from.Your sister is so cute with the try ons! Your turn next girl🤗😁.Much love to you and keep these videos coming,always here to watch!
Again Michel worlds best support system is family, and holidays will get easier as time goes by making new traditions and new memories remember trust and believe. Your entitled to go thru these feelings this is normal , and lastly always remember WE L❤️VE YOU!!!!!
I love you, Michel♥️♥️♥️ You are so strong!!! Always remember God is with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you. I went through a divorce over 11 years ago. We have 2 children & it still hurts...but GOD🙏🙏🙏 He will get you through. You are beautiful inside & out.💕
You are right about loving the Texas videos. I started watching relatively recently and looked for the Texas ones as they were so fun. Was happy to see you move back. Not the expected circumstances of course but I love that you just say when you are not ok but have the foresight to know that doesn't mean phooey about the next day. Just takes time to realise our life is not taking the path we had assumed it would for so long. Bit of a shock to the system. Have to laugh when glassons shows up in a video, they have been around forever as a shop in New Zealand, I have made some horrific decisions in that shop.
LOL I'm the same way with the heating pad😂I thought I was the only one🙈 I feel for you on the Holidays being hard, I experienced a similar feeling for the first time this year💔
Continuing to pray for you sweet Michel ❤️🥺. Virtual hugs coming your way! Sending you so much love. God bless you. I am thinking of you always especially during the holidays .
Omg your mom’s outfit is SO cute!! I want to wear it. Your family is adorable. I think your mom and your sister look like twins 😳☺️ Seeing your family makes me miss my family!
Your whole family exudes so much love and warmth! Sorry you are feeling down, however, this is a necessary part of your journey ❤️ One day, you will be making your own holiday memories! You are truly amazing! 🥰
"But it's with people I don't know, and that takes extra energy.....and I don't have rhat right now"
Yup. I'm with you on that. Every day
Your sister's fiancé with the "hi friends, bye friends" made me giggle! 🤗 Family is everything!
I agree, that was SO cute!!!
I love that your family is getting involved with the vlogs! They're so sweet 😊 💖
They really are the best🥲🥲🥲
Prayers for strength and comfort for you this holiday season ❤️❤️
This means a lot 🤍🤍
Praying for you as you navigate the holidays. My heart truly goes out to you.
I loved see you and your sister interact on this vlog! I am so thankful that you have such a sweet, caring, supportive family to lean on at this time- and always💛

Your family seems so sweet and loving. It’s wonderful how supportive your parents are and I LOVE your dads southern drawl.

You are such a strong beautiful soul! Prayers for strength, peace and healing on your new journey!!! Do what makes your soul at ease and joyous! 😘🙏🏻

See how much your Sister makes you smile and laugh let this take the place of your broken heart and it will help you heal quickly.

Your mom saying ‘comment below’….cracked me up!
I struggled with getting settled when we moved in August between two trips. Now we're finally making progress in December. 😅 take your time, you got this.
Glad you could be with your family! Holidays are hard try not to be too hard on yourself and set reasonable expectations. You can do it! Also I love hearing you talk about fashion and interior design you are really good at it!
I value your transparency through this difficult time. I am going on my second year of holidays without my ex of six years and it’s still difficult this year since last year wasn’t really normal anyway. I feel for you and I pray you have some healing this holiday season.
Your family seems so amazing! Glad you get to be around them while you heal.
Just remember you are spending time with the most important people in your life your Christmas will be Special with your Family and can do what you want try to put your sadness behind you and enjoy your holiday time with your family try to smile and make the time special for your Mom's Birthday try to be happy for her they know your hurting in your heart but you are on to a better life for yourself you are a strong and courageous Lady and will do just fine.
I tear up every time you play the sad music at 6:28. Keep doing what you’re doing, good times are coming 💜
I’ve started watching your ads all the way through like we used to before you were full time on TH-cam 💛 one thing I can do to bless you!
Me too!!
So sorry you are feeling down & that the holidays have been hard…praying you make new joyful Christmas memories this year ❤️
Love the brown dress. You would look really cute in it. Don’t be hard on yourself. Make new traditions and new memories.
I remember when I realized my husband was ending our marriage I went to the grocery store with my aunt and all I could do was follow her. I couldn’t make any decisions at all about what to buy. You’re not along in your struggle, it’s part of grief. It does get better though. ❤️
You have the most coolest parents. They both give me good vibes. I hope your mom had a wonderful birthday. 🤍✨
Your family is BEAUTIFUL!!! 💕😊. The Dickens Village SERIOUSLY has a Stars Hollow vibe. 🎄I am praying for peace for your heart, mind and spirit. 💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think you’re going to meet someone in next couple of years, and be happier than ever, until then, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I never married and for a period of several years, I lived far from any family, and resources didn’t allow me to travel. I’ve spent my fair share of holidays by myself, so I know how hard it can be at holiday time. I also have a sister and a brother. But we are all your moms age.
Your family is awesome. Thanks for taking us along back home. Feel well Michel! Praying for you. 🙏
you have such an eye with your flower arrangements! love seeing them! and love seeing your beautiful family! happy holidays ❤️💚
Sending prayers to you through the Holidays. I am so happy that you have such a wonderful family to surround you at this time.
JJ is such a cutie-patootie and your family are just the sweetest! It’s easy to see how much comfort they must bring to you through this season of healing. Praying that Christmas is still beautiful (albeit different) for you this year ❤️
I think being home with your family is the best thing for you during your healing process. I agree with having your family vlogs are by far the best. You have the sweetest family, everyone is so friendly, loving, welcoming, and I feel a part of it ... it's like I'm right there with everyone. I look forward to your daily videos. Love the try-on hauls, unboxings, your apartment updates, and your dad is absolutely adorable!! Such a cute smile!! And his car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! Hot, hot, hot!!! Ok, enough of that ... don't want your mom coming after me with a gun. Lol
You, your sister, and your mom, look identical. You could all pass for sisters. Hope your holidays with your family will be all you want and need them to be. Many blessings to all of you!
I had my first thanksgiving as a divorced woman this year and it was hard on me too. I had you in my thoughts and in a strange way it was nice to send good vibes your way while I was feeling down.
You'll be in my thoughts again for Christmas. It'll get better.
Sweet darling Michel , wishing you could feel all of your community we love you so much please don'tt be sad :'(. Give thanks for all you have and move on (don't look back into your memories) dont worry you will make much more happy memories cuz you have you ! Sending you all the strength you need to just be brave
WOW your FAM 😍 at the end when your mom was like “what?? Thank YOU for coming to my birthday” I rewatched that like 5 times 🥺🥺
Sorry only getting to see your vlog now... Allow yourself to grieve the breakup.. a loss being in death or divorce is never easy... I lost my husband 9 years ago and special occasions are still heart felt... his loss will always be with me.. the loss will always be with you but each day gets easier... God never puts difficult times in our life that we cannot handle... So keep you head up and shed a tear when you need to... it's natural... Love from Cape Town, South Africa..
Oh Michel, my heart breaks to see the pain you're in, but I know it will ease. You will create new habits and new traditions, different ways to celebrate that don't remind you of the previous years. I'm sure you've heard people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Sometimes there is a lesson to be learned, and we move on in different directions. Sometimes we are together for a season of time before our lives take us down different paths. At times we may think this or that relationship is a lifetime relationship, only to find it wasn't. That's very disheartening, but you will grow from the experience. You are so strong and surrounded by so many people who truly love you. Be gentle with yourself, especially during the emotional rollercoaster the holidays bring. I love you and I'm praying for you.
Holidays are freakin hard! I’m nervous about Christmas too. I’m going to be celebrating alone again this year, I don’t live near my family. I pray we both will find joy this holiday 💗
I have to add, I am so happy that you have your family, it helps when healing from grief to have close family!! 😘😘😘
Michel, I’m also going through a divorce right now. It is so heartbreaking being a Christian and feeling like I’ve failed. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I feel you fully when you say the holidays are especially hard. It would have been mine and his fifth one together, but I’ve noticed leaning on my family helps me so much. God has a plan for you and He is the rock which we all stand and lean on. I’m sending you a huge hug. This too shall pass! You are strong, courageous, and beautiful. I am SO proud of you.
All my love and strength to you during this season that has already been tough for you. But you are an amazing woman and l believe you will make it trough. Friend you are loved
You look so much like your mom. Enjoy them and hold them close. Happy Holidays!!!❤❤❤❤
You are amazing. I admire your process and bravery. I have no doubt you will find yourself on the other side faster than you think. Just want to share the reason Thanksgiving is great. You can say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Of course something always offends someone but for the most part wishing people a happy Thanksgiving and every reason to smile is just a feel good thing all around and it can last all month. Talking to people all day on the phone , the way their voice gets happier and softer when we go from business to "Have a beautiful happy Thanksgiving." is palpable.
Keep your head up and I will pray for you! I know how you feel I went through divorce after 10 years and with 2 kids. I was a stay at home mom and had to get back into the workforce. I'm 62 tomorrow and it does get better trust me. You are so lucky to have your beautiful parents. They remind me of my parents whom I lost a few years ago and miss them so much. They were always there for me. I love watching your video's and love seeing how your parents support you. Just give them all the love and thanks you can. Trust in the Lord for He will get you through this.
I pray for you to have the strength and will through this difficult time
Ah big hugs Michel. There's always good days & bad days in this process but yes the holidays are hard but just know the 2nd year of them is easier.
You are 2gether...day at a time..we love every piece of your heart and spirit!! Much love!!!!
This is a beautiful video! It is so hard for me this year too! My daughter passed away last year, and the rest of the year went by super fast and it is coming up on the day she got sick and went into the hospital. I love watching videos about eating healthy and creating, and crafting and sewing and so much more, but I am grateful to you for this wonderful video!!!!!!! Happy birthday to your mother!!! :)
Happy Belated Birthday to your mom! Much love to you and your family!
Thankful u are surrounded by fam!......my 1st holiday away from my 3 kids was like a slow death but now 12yr later and 2 of my kids are now adults they still hurt but differently
The apartment is really starting to feel like "yours" 💛
Your family is awesome!!! I'm so sorry you're having to go through this but I promise it will get easier. It might take awhile though so please remember to take care of you. I know you're trying to budget but maybe take some time to have a spa day. It'll help you feel great and it's a good confidence booster!! ❤❤❤
You are SO good with flowers!! Comes so naturally! I love seeing your creations 🤍
I love everything about this video.Your fam is so sweet,and you need those vibes in your life,I can 100% see where you get your sweet,wonderful,kind and loving personality from.Your sister is so cute with the try ons!

Your vulnerability in this vlog is truly commendable 💕 wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season
I do love your family in your vlogs, thanks for sharing everything you are going through!
Lean on your family, they love you so much and so do all of your subscribers. Texas vlogs are the best!
Again Michel worlds best support system is family, and holidays will get easier as time goes by making new traditions and new memories remember trust and believe. Your entitled to go thru these feelings this is normal , and lastly always remember WE L❤️VE YOU!!!!!
Lovely to see you with your family! Allow yourself to feel the ups & downs…it will help you heal!😘
I love you, Michel♥️♥️♥️ You are so strong!!! Always remember God is with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you. I went through a divorce over 11 years ago. We have 2 children & it still hurts...but GOD🙏🙏🙏 He will get you through. You are beautiful inside & out.💕
Your doing so well, keep strong, you can do it and it’s all going to be ok 👍
You are right about loving the Texas videos. I started watching relatively recently and looked for the Texas ones as they were so fun. Was happy to see you move back. Not the expected circumstances of course but I love that you just say when you are not ok but have the foresight to know that doesn't mean phooey about the next day. Just takes time to realise our life is not taking the path we had assumed it would for so long. Bit of a shock to the system. Have to laugh when glassons shows up in a video, they have been around forever as a shop in New Zealand, I have made some horrific decisions in that shop.
LOL I'm the same way with the heating pad😂I thought I was the only one🙈 I feel for you on the Holidays being hard, I experienced a similar feeling for the first time this year💔
❤️❤️❤️ Glad your family is surrounding you with love during this time of year ❤️
Also your future bro in law is hilarious 😂 “bye friends” 💀
It's lovely to get to see you with your family and what a blessing to be close to them during this time ❤
Continuing to pray for you sweet Michel ❤️🥺. Virtual hugs coming your way! Sending you so much love. God bless you. I am thinking of you always especially during the holidays .
Omg your mom’s outfit is SO cute!! I want to wear it. Your family is adorable. I think your mom and your sister look like twins 😳☺️ Seeing your family makes me miss my family!
