I think many of us are following your page or channel because of the way you are too Lester, don’t forget that. You give the animals a voice and bring out their personalities in a very special way❤️
We love you for who you are Lester. Why am I teary eyed? We say Okey dokie too. In Britain. Or at least it was apart of my vocabulary. Keep being you... You rock.
Lester. Crying soothes the soul. In the meantime, God had a plan for you. He picked you to be The I'm a Survivor Sanctuary Sheppard. He knew no one else could do it better! It was your destiny! 🙂💜💙💚💛🧡
I say okie dokie all the time. I love that you aren’t afraid to show emotion. We all need that in our lives. Thank you for sharing your world with us 💜💜
I am originally from Virginia but grew up in Ohio and use okie dokey all the time and know a lot of other people who do too it is a normal thing to say and not just a rural what could be considered a rube thing at all.
I say "okie dokie Pokie"! I'm a Southern California Girl, born and raised. However, I did 4 years of school in West Tennessee and may have gotten it from there. Haha, I don't remember!
I Love that Ernie is a loner most the time other then with the feathered baby's, we know he loves the chickens and ducks lol. I wonder thought is he pertective at all like Anne??? I'm sure not nearly as much as her, but isn't that what alpaca's are known for ?
I just love how there's always a cat that comes up and says hello during Lester's videos. And he always pets them and acknowledges them a bit. They don't come out like that in jami or le videos. But 9 times out of 10 there's always a kitty cat coming out to hang out and say hi to Lester 💜
The reason people love you so much, is not only because of the animals. You have the perfect mixture of animals, humor, and your personality. The 1st video I watched was "run Maggie run" I subscribed right away. I was dying laughing. That was 1 1/2 years ago. Still watch EVERY video. Love the animals, love them, but your personality is what got me hooked. Then of course Jami and LE are so awesome too. So we love the animals, but we love Y'all too ❤
My dad would always say "Hooroo" instead of goodbye, it's Australian, but I don't hear many people use it here. I caught myself saying it last week, felt as if his voice was coming out of my mouth, he is still with me in ways I didn't even think about. It is amazing how small things can change our lives in such enormous ways, your camera opened up your part of the world, to the entire world, and that window has allowed light to shine into the darkness of many others. Look at how many people have been affected, influenced, entertained, saddened, saved, taught or just plain amused from your videos, all because of that small window into another world, it really is incredible, and powerful.
Lester I think this is the day you are counting your.blessings,its ok to get emotional. Love that about you and yes your blessed but you also bless so many of us,we all are winners because of two little words 💕
I don't know donkey body language, but it sure looked like around two minutes in that Dan was trying to comfort Trudy in some way. The way he hung his neck over her and tried to pull her close to him, seems like a horse behavior that they do with their baby
Oh my goodness I felt that! Galveston wasn't your destiny, and your girl came to you! Don't feel embarrassed about your feelings, thats what makes you real. I'm sure others would agree, we love to see the animals, but we love all the humans too!
Lester your lessons in life learned by "okie-dokie" reminds me of this quote. "Be like a tree🌲Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique beauty. Keep growing." ❤🎋 Your love & caring for your furry family is heartwarming 🤗 Thank you for sharing. Stay blessed 🎋 ❤🇨🇦
So well said. Love Lester and his big heart. We are lucky to know him. Lester, remember the terrible flood and everything you lost, terrible BUT it also bought you Jamie.
We use doubled wording too in our family lol! The back back of the car meaning the very back, not the back seat etc. Lol. We say okie dokie too. You are living your dream. Your calling. It takes a special family to do and juggle all that you do. And we are so fortunate to be able to see and share a little bit of ur happiness and tears. We love you lester🥰
We use okie-dokie here in Iceland too :') Lester you're a true gem, I love you man :) I love how wonderfully human you people are. Not afraid to show emotions, that's just beautiful! I'm not here just for the animals, I'm here for the whole package. I also love cars and heavy machinery aaand ... PHOTOGRAPHY ! I love hearing how a camera changed your life. A camera sure has changed my life too, I studied photography for two years. It was stupid and awesome at the same time... I've never made a penny from it, but I take pictures fur fun ... to show other people how I see the world. To have an impact on this world ! The little things matter
“Serendipity”... everything that’s happened that brought y’all to where you are now was meant to be ... saving so many animals lives and who knows how many peoples during this very difficult time with health, politics, disconnect from family due to the pandemic 😷 I think y’all are wonderful.
Lester I would rather watch your videos and listen to you talk than any other channel on FB or UT. I can’t wait every day to see your new ones‼️ Here’s love to all of you. God bless you and yours ‼️🥰👵🏻
Lester, you are confirming to a lot of us that the mistakes we've made have led us down the path God wanted us to take. Nothing is a coincidence. Thanks for sharing your heart with us.
You are a great man Lester defiantly one of Earth angels thank you for all you do God Bless you Eli is a great man your a fantastic daddy to all your babys
Lester I'm so proud you have feelings. That tells me you truly love everyone one these animals. You love Pig Trudy. I'm sure the Vet will come out and take care of her.
This has been the most inspiring video to date for me. It's amazing how life works! Things happen in such a way that you don't really realize that what is happening now is setting you up for the later. From that embarrassing moment that invokes rejection or disregard, to the tasks we do that really aren't our cup of tea or interest. You never how those moments or things are setting you up for exactly what you're meant to do and where you're meant to be. #everythinghappensforareason #greaterpurpose
Oh my goodness, how I am laughing and crying. Lester, so many of us love you and Jami, you have no idea. Thank you so very much for sharing your story! 💛 I look back at so many crazy things that changed my path in life. The one that hits me the most is how I even came to be in existence in the first place. My dad was drafted during the Vietnam War. He was finishing his final semester at a 4 year college, so he requested a delay. They refused; it had to be now. He went to boot camp and then it was off to Germany. There, he met a lady that he started to like. His friend was courting this lady's sister. Things went well. Then, at a dance they switched dancing partners. And low and behold, the new pairings took hold! He whisked her away to the States after his tour was over, they married, and here I am! I have a WAR to thank for my existence. It messes with my head sometimes.
My boys are 37 and 47 years old and grew up in small town Indiana. BOTH of them say Okie-Dokie! They are just good ol' country boys, not into all the fancy city life ways. They work hard, then go to their respective homes...their sanctuary. I'm so very grateful and proud of the young men they turned out to be! I'm also thankful that their wives are like minded, as well. It's a true blessing that the simple life suits us!!
Lester... please don’t be embarrassed in front of all of us!!! You are blessed and in turn you are blessing all of us!! I am so sick and tired of all the nasty and immoral stuff on social media!! You, Jamie and LE are all that I watch when it’s time to sit and chill!! THANK YOU!!
Lester.. I love you. Please dont change. And dont be ashamed of getting emotional. That shows you care about others. It takes a man to do that. This is why I follow you guys. You give others so much with your videos. The joy, the sorrow and the happy times. There should be more people like your family in this world. You are making a difference. God bless you !!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Northern Illinois here and we say okie dokie. Lester we watch the videos to see animals but we also watch to see your crazy antics, your family, and get blessed in return by your love and gratitude. You, Jamie and LE are always thanking the viewers but I for one say thank you for enriching my life. For giving me an amazing start to my day.
Nothing wrong when a man put his heart on his sleeve..We love you Lester and your family and farm. So glad you share with us so we can be a part of it. Keep making videos Lester.
Oh my Gosh Lester n Jami. Look at how much has happened in the 2 months since this video! The changes in the hay barn. The new littles barn. The new babies that have joined the sanctuary. Being able to offer Journey an awesome life We all are truly blessed by your hard work and efforts. Thank you. You have helped keep me sane and entertained this past year and a half. Thank you. ❤
I think this way often. It’s like the Stones sang “You can’t always get what you want, But if you try sometime you find, you get what you need” Everything happens for a reason!
Thank you, Lester, for being so open and honest. Tears are a sign of real passion----and yours is obvious! (I grew up in Illinois, and heard 'okie-dokie' a lot!)
lol ernie with his back leg warmers on, that was so cute, dan what looked like trying to comfort trudie. yes i've heard okee dokey and used it before but not in a job interview.
Sometimes He doesn't give you what you ask for, He gives you what you need. What you guys do, and do well - is a calling. The way you work so hard to make sure the babies have everything they need and want and lots of extra love and special times with you too is not something that just anyone can do Lester. The way you both make the time to work your jobs AND work the farm and still have time to pick up a camera and box of animal crackers for the babies and share your experiences with us is amazing and admirable. We learn so much from you both. You're not just teaching us, and entertaining us - but you are also enriching our lives in so many ways. I am so grateful and blessed that you share all of your experiences with us. Thank you, thank you for being who you are and sharing that heart and soul with us. You make a difference around the world for all of us. God bless you and thank you. Sending lots of love and hugs from Louisiana
I am 70 and lived in Pennsylvania as a child and learned to say okie dokie back here. And I lived in town. So thankful that you had someone bring you into the video world so that you could bring us the wonderful videos that your present. You never know what life's plan will bring to you if you stay open to change.
Lester look what God has opened up for you. You're not an idiot. Look where you are now. Keep animals happy with everything you do for them. You are very loving, and you love them animals that you and Jami, and your family were blessed with. If you don't get anything else from this. Listen God has blessed you with a grand mission. Continue to love all your babies, family, and friends. ❤❤❤❤
Lester I think it is awesome for you show your emotional side! There is nothing wrong with that! It just shows how much you care and how supportive you can be! Thank you for sharing! Love you guys!
It's there lose..It been a long time I haven't heard that word it brings back memories..you need to be yourself..Okie-Dokie I used that word here in Colorado..you made it this far with that video keep on going Lester..God bless!
i like the animals, but, you and our humor is what keeps me coming back. then when you shed a tear like only a real man can do, you're a hell of a man Lester Morrow!!! YOU ARE NO IDIOT!! you're a fantastic human being with true love and emotion in your heart. i think this is my favorite video yet Lester!! love you brotha!!!
Lester, you and your family of humans and animals are so loved. Your kindness to your 4 legged family is so heart-warming and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your day to day life with us all. You didn't have to do the videos but you chose to do it anyway and I am very grateful. Thank you for saying okie-dokie.
I’ve been watching this channel for about 6 months now. I’m going through my own changes in life having recently retired and moved to Costa Rica with my husband. I’ve been going back and watching some of the older videos so I could be caught up on your journey. This video is by far my favorite of all your videos. It is a perfect example of how impactful single moments in time can so profoundly determine our direction in life. Thank you so much for your courage to share this journey. I am very grateful, as it is helping me through mine. Love and light…Namaste.
Sweet Lester you made me cry! You are so not an idiot! It's a beautiful gift that you can get so emotional when you think about how rich you are! And I obviously don't mean moneyrich but loverich. All the baby's and people around you are so blessed! And we are blessed to have a daily sneakpeak in those lives! Fun fact: here in the Netherlands we also say Okie-dokie 😁
I think that video showed the love you have for animals and among all the devastation from the hurricane and seeing the ones that survived, who wouldn't cry over something like that, man or woman. You are very special and you have a good heart. I love that you can get a little mad but then it turns into laughter, like the video with Huck and Shirley on your Jeep. I watch you and your families videos not just for the animals but because of you guys as well because y'all love your animals and y'all are funny but also the raw emotions. I live in SC and I was raised by great parents who were caring to others and I'm the same way and I have a love for animals.
Lester, you and Jamie are such wonderful folks! And even more because of what you guys do for the animals! I’m glad you saw the beautiful connections in your life’s journey. May God continue to bless both of you for many years! 🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have definitely heard Okie Dokie I'm in my 60's cousins lived in Arkansas my Aunt lived in Dallas Texas have used it before. Glad God put you in the right place at the right time. You wouldn't have your son's if you had moved there too or met Jami. You are a lucky man.😁❤🙏
People, including me say Okie-Dokie in MN. You’re not alone. 😁 I enjoy your ramblings. You have so many stories to share. I’ll listen to them all. You’re a good man Lester.
It's OK Lester. Don't feel stupid EVER ! Everything in It's own time and you're right, everything happens for a reason. You aren't an idiot. You are a very humble, sweet guy that loves animals just like a lot of people do and got to do great and many things, to be a great teacher and coach, and help animals live happy lives and have great kids and a super great family. I know your parents couldn't be prouder either and I'm so glad this is helping your Dad too and getting him his shots for his knees. So awesome.. Good People:) Another awesome video too!
Okie dokie Lester, what you Jami, LE, sister Kim and the rest of your family have brought me in over a year of watching Ima Survivor, I so appreciate and thoroughly enjoy it all, thank you!
Lester, Lester, Lester - this was a beautiful heart felt video. I laughed and cried when you did. FYI, we Canadians used to use okie dokie, but haven’t heard it foe while. Your life journey has been some bad things and some great things. You are a wonderful warm hearted man, we all LOVE you. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You cry because Your human! You have emotions! Your greatful for what you jave and what ppl have given you! Because you caputured the the beauty, the need the pain, the joy it all brings you for what you do! An that okdoke you said is their loss and our gain and the animals on the farms gain! GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR YOUR FUR BABIES! Never think anything less! We all love you jamie le lex and the rest of the family and the gang! Its because of who you are a loving caring person!
Boy howdy, Lester! Momma's family was from Texas... I love your videos! Love my Texan relatives, the friendliness, story telling, expressions, accents, just nice people. Bless your ❤...
You have a gracious way about telling your stories and I was happy to hear this particular one. Crying with you too so nice to have the Morrow family in my life. Bless you
Lester I love your videos. Not only because of the animals. But because you are not afraid of showing your emotions. Not all guys can or will do that. My mom use to tell me and my brother. A true man is someone that is not. Afraid of showing their emotions. You are one of the good guys. I love you and your family and animal babies.
Lester, I'm a new yorker and we say okie dokie too. Lol. So glad Trudy is better. Love all of you and God bless you all. Keep up the amazing job you and the family do. Your videos get me through the day.
Oh Lester you have touched my heart with your emotion!!!!! Between laughing and wiping my own tears away as you tell your story and share what you’re seeing! I sure love your channel and listening to you speak!!
Sometimes words provide directions in our lives we never intended or anticipated. In hindsight I often laugh at my mindset during various episodes and situations throughout my life. The reality has not always been 'my plan(s)' but certainly were the better plans.
This video forced me to think back on things that changed my life for the good and the bad. I appreciate you for sharing such emotional experiences in your life. You show us it's ok to be human....okie dokie!!!
Thank you, Lester, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing us your heart. God works in mysterious ways, for sure! May He continue to bless you and your family as you continue to care for and love HIS creatures. 💗
We say okie dokie here in Minnesota. I love that you are real and honest and not afraid of showing emotions. That is one of the reason I married my husband and probably why we are still happily married after 32 years.
It's all good Lester, I to sometimes go around saying Okie Dokie Smokey your such a wonderful caring and most of all your so funny and we all love that about you... Take care and have fun with all your sweet beautiful fur babies! 😊 ❤
it's nice that donkey dan knows something is wrong with Trudy and you can see in his face and in his eyes he's trying to make her feel better and comfort her and be there for her. Almost like he's protecting her and purposely putting the shadow on it in case the sun is hurting it or something.
Bless you all. Thank you for sharing your life, but also realizing that it was not all you, you give credit to Dr. Sanford, God, and your subscribers. Thank you for being real, and humble.
Lester you touch my heart...you are so humble and appreciate EVERYTHING...Jami and you deserve all goodness this world can give you bc you give it right back ten fold...don't ever change...love you big guy💙
Lester u are just emotional right now from what you have said to us. Love the new area of the stalls that are being built half way right know. Lester u feel so proud of how far u have come in ur teaching.
Lester I am so glad I came across your videos . Some days I spend hours watching your family's videos. I laugh I cry I talk to y'all. In many of your videos you say, "I don't know what's wrong with me." I'm here to tell YOU there is nothing wrong with you. You are loving your family and animals. I hate it when I hear the phrase " big boys don't cry." I beleive that is where today has fallen apart. REAL MEN cry. Thank you for all you do for your animals and me. God bless.
There is nothing wrong with a man feeling so passionate about doing what he loves. U found ur calling
Exactly. That's why we love him soooo much.
Amen!
That's just lovely pig Trudy and Dan .
Lester just keep doing what your doing with your sanctuary with Jami and LE you are all good people that's why we love you and your family x
❤❤❤
I think many of us are following your page or channel because of the way you are too Lester, don’t forget that. You give the animals a voice and bring out their personalities in a very special way❤️
Hi Pia, this is Lou, thank you for the kind words.
Agree - wouldn't want Lester or any of them to change- gotta love them for being themselves and loving their babies 👍🏿🇦🇺
@@ImaSurvivorSanctuary ❤️
@@mariagrant3706 That’s why we love them😊
Oh Lester, a man crying is a wonderful thing. Men always try to be so tuff, so its refreshing to see a man show feelings.
I taught my son that it's OK for men to cry. 💜
How sweet of Donkey Dan to care about P.T. 💜
We love you for who you are Lester. Why am I teary eyed? We say Okey dokie too. In Britain. Or at least it was apart of my vocabulary.

Me too & I'm from Boston originally. Now in Florida.
I am originally from Virginia but grew up in Ohio and use okie dokey all the time and know a lot of other people who do too it is a normal thing to say and not just a rural what could be considered a rube thing at all.
I say "okie dokie Pokie"! I'm a Southern California Girl, born and raised. However, I did 4 years of school in West Tennessee and may have gotten it from there. Haha, I don't remember!
Ernie is a crack up, he has a good time alone if there's no one around too play with, he's a funny boy😄
I Love that Ernie is a loner most the time other then with the feathered baby's, we know he loves the chickens and ducks lol. I wonder thought is he pertective at all like Anne??? I'm sure not nearly as much as her, but isn't that what alpaca's are known for ?
I think Ernie is my favourite. The quiet one in the back, but when they shine it's a firework display!
❤❤❤
I just love how there's always a cat that comes up and says hello during Lester's videos. And he always pets them and acknowledges them a bit. They don't come out like that in jami or le videos. But 9 times out of 10 there's always a kitty cat coming out to hang out and say hi to Lester 💜

paw paw and the rest of the gang too! ♥️
Thanks so much!
Lester to me an a lot of women you show how a real man can show there emotions. I love how you show that. You are not a idiot!!

Hi Smajs, this is Lou, thanks for sharing your story.
That was so beautiful glad you have good memories to look back on.
You are an amazing man Lester Morrow with a great big heart & soul ! You are real! Thank you for all you do! I love your entire family!
Ditto.
So sweet Donkey Dan comforting his ladies, even Pig Trudy!💖.... always there if they want him!
I don't know donkey body language, but it sure looked like around two minutes in that Dan was trying to comfort Trudy in some way. The way he hung his neck over her and tried to pull her close to him, seems like a horse behavior that they do with their baby
I thought the same thing.
I thought the same thing too.
I was thinking the same thing, comforting her and protecting her.
@Mykah Shalom No, Dan is playing his role as protector and comforter.
Definitely. 💜
I remind myself to keep my eyes off the circumstances and "look up" keep my eyes on the Lord who has our best at heart.
Laural
I believe you tears are your overwhelming gratitude, life is good and gives back when you give.
I love how pig 🐷 Trudy and Donkey Dan, are great friends 😍
I love all your animals ❤️🙏❤️🦋🦋🦋
We come for both...the animals and you all..or ya'll. 😉
You have created an entire community and I appreciate it so much. Okie dokie!! ❤
Its not just about the animals, its you too. We love you, Lester. God had a plan from the beginning. 💙💙💙
Oh my goodness I felt that! Galveston wasn't your destiny, and your girl came to you! Don't feel embarrassed about your feelings, thats what makes you real. I'm sure others would agree, we love to see the animals, but we love all the humans too!

We use doubled wording too in our family lol! The back back of the car meaning the very back, not the back seat etc. Lol. We say okie dokie too.
You are living your dream. Your calling. It takes a special family to do and juggle all that you do. And we are so fortunate to be able to see and share a little bit of ur happiness and tears.
We love you lester🥰

Oh my Gosh Lester n Jami. Look at how much has happened in the 2 months since this video! The changes in the hay barn. The new littles barn. The new babies that have joined the sanctuary. Being able to offer Journey an awesome life We all are truly blessed by your hard work and efforts. Thank you. You have helped keep me sane and entertained this past year and a half. Thank you. ❤
I think this way often. It’s like the Stones sang “You can’t always get what you want, But if you try sometime you find, you get what you need”
Everything happens for a reason!
Thank you, Lester, for being so open and honest. Tears are a sign of real passion----and yours is obvious!
(I grew up in Illinois, and heard 'okie-dokie' a lot!)
Lester it's okay it just shows that you are a very humble person and that's what we love about you buddy .
lol ernie with his back leg warmers on, that was so cute, dan what looked like trying to comfort trudie. yes i've heard okee dokey and used it before but not in a job interview.
Lester you are a true hero! Life is some crazy sometimes but it makes us who we are today.
❤❤❤
Sometimes He doesn't give you what you ask for, He gives you what you need. What you guys do, and do well - is a calling. The way you work so hard to make sure the babies have everything they need and want and lots of extra love and special times with you too is not something that just anyone can do Lester. The way you both make the time to work your jobs AND work the farm and still have time to pick up a camera and box of animal crackers for the babies and share your experiences with us is amazing and admirable. We learn so much from you both. You're not just teaching us, and entertaining us - but you are also enriching our lives in so many ways. I am so grateful and blessed that you share all of your experiences with us. Thank you, thank you for being who you are and sharing that heart and soul with us. You make a difference around the world for all of us. God bless you and thank you. Sending lots of love and hugs from Louisiana
I love hearing you talk Lester. It's not just the animals, it's the heart felt stories that you tell. Okie dokie?! lol I say that all the time. 💜
I am 70 and lived in Pennsylvania as a child and learned to say okie dokie back here. And I lived in town. So thankful that you had someone bring you into the video world so that you could bring us the wonderful videos that your present. You never know what life's plan will bring to you if you stay open to change.
Lester look what God has opened up for you. You're not an idiot. Look where you are now. Keep animals happy with everything you do for them. You are very loving, and you love them animals that you and Jami, and your family were blessed with. If you don't get anything else from this. Listen God has blessed you with a grand mission. Continue to love all your babies, family, and friends. ❤❤❤❤
You do often say how blessed you are, but WE are truly blessed to see all of your beautiful babies! Thank you for being you! ❤
Lester I think it is awesome for you show your emotional side! There is nothing wrong with that! It just shows how much you care and how supportive you can be! Thank you for sharing! Love you guys!
Okidoki is said in Manchester UK commonly
"See ya later... okidoki"
Yes it’s known in my country in England too
Oh my goodness! Just brought me to tears...I firmly believe that everything happens for a good reason ..this just confirmed it 😘
Wow! Loved hearing the back story of how all the videos started! So cool! Everything happens for a reason. Yep
It's there lose..It been a long time I haven't heard that word it brings back memories..you need to be yourself..Okie-Dokie I used that word here in Colorado..you made it this far with that video keep on going Lester..God bless!
i like the animals, but, you and our humor is what keeps me coming back. then when you shed a tear like only a real man can do, you're a hell of a man Lester Morrow!!! YOU ARE NO IDIOT!! you're a fantastic human being with true love and emotion in your heart. i think this is my favorite video yet Lester!! love you brotha!!!
Lester you are a wonderful and kind man. The animals feel your love, they feel safe and they love you right back. ❤️
Lester, you and your family of humans and animals are so loved. Your kindness to your 4 legged family is so heart-warming and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your day to day life with us all. You didn't have to do the videos but you chose to do it anyway and I am very grateful. Thank you for saying okie-dokie.
Lester, I love the animals & feathered babies. But your comments make them extra special. Love you all, & God Bless.
I’ve been watching this channel for about 6 months now. I’m going through my own changes in life having recently retired and moved to Costa Rica with my husband. I’ve been going back and watching some of the older videos so I could be caught up on your journey. This video is by far my favorite of all your videos. It is a perfect example of how impactful single moments in time can so profoundly determine our direction in life. Thank you so much for your courage to share this journey. I am very grateful, as it is helping me through mine. Love and light…Namaste.
Wow... Such a Beautiful, Sad, wondrous blessed story. So much LOVE TO YOU, JAMI, L.E. AND ALL THE BABIES❤️❤️❤️
Sweet Lester you made me cry! You are so not an idiot! It's a beautiful gift that you can get so emotional when you think about how rich you are! And I obviously don't mean moneyrich but loverich. All the baby's and people around you are so blessed! And we are blessed to have a daily sneakpeak in those lives! Fun fact: here in the Netherlands we also say Okie-dokie 😁
I think that video showed the love you have for animals and among all the devastation from the hurricane and seeing the ones that survived, who wouldn't cry over something like that, man or woman. You are very special and you have a good heart. I love that you can get a little mad but then it turns into laughter, like the video with Huck and Shirley on your Jeep. I watch you and your families videos not just for the animals but because of you guys as well because y'all love your animals and y'all are funny but also the raw emotions. I live in SC and I was raised by great parents who were caring to others and I'm the same way and I have a love for animals.
Lester, you and Jamie are such wonderful folks! And even more because of what you guys do for the animals! I’m glad you saw the beautiful connections in your life’s journey. May God continue to bless both of you for many years! 🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have definitely heard Okie Dokie I'm in my 60's cousins lived in Arkansas my Aunt lived in Dallas Texas have used it before. Glad God put you in the right place at the right time. You wouldn't have your son's if you had moved there too or met Jami. You are a lucky man.😁❤🙏
People, including me say Okie-Dokie in MN. You’re not alone. 😁 I enjoy your ramblings. You have so many stories to share. I’ll listen to them all. You’re a good man Lester.
God Bless you Lester to me emotion and truth takes a man to be able to show passion for what he believes in.
It's OK Lester. Don't feel stupid EVER ! Everything in It's own time and you're right, everything happens for a reason. You aren't an idiot. You are a very humble, sweet guy that loves animals just like a lot of people do and got to do great and many things, to be a great teacher and coach, and help animals live happy lives and have great kids and a super great family. I know your parents couldn't be prouder either and I'm so glad this is helping your Dad too and getting him his shots for his knees. So awesome.. Good People:) Another awesome video too!
Okie dokie Lester, what you Jami, LE, sister Kim and the rest of your family have brought me in over a year of watching Ima Survivor, I so appreciate and thoroughly enjoy it all, thank you!
Lester, Lester, Lester - this was a beautiful heart felt video. I laughed and cried when you did. FYI, we Canadians used to use okie dokie, but haven’t heard it foe while. Your life journey has been some bad things and some great things. You are a wonderful warm hearted man, we all LOVE you. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You cry because Your human! You have emotions! Your greatful for what you jave and what ppl have given you! Because you caputured the the beauty, the need the pain, the joy it all brings you for what you do!

Lester you have me crying. Crying shows your kindness and caring. Just think of this beautiful place you are at. Oakey dokey!
Boy howdy, Lester!
Momma's family was from Texas... I love your videos! Love my Texan relatives, the friendliness, story telling, expressions, accents, just nice people.
Bless your ❤...
You have a gracious way about telling your stories and I was happy to hear this particular one. Crying with you too so nice to have the Morrow family in my life. Bless you
You are for real and have true emotions you don't hide, the caring you have for your animals is so much love, now my tears are falling, Bless yous
Lester I love your videos. Not only because of the animals. But because you are not afraid of showing your emotions. Not all guys can or will do that. My mom use to tell me and my brother. A true man is someone that is not. Afraid of showing their emotions. You are one of the good guys. I love you and your family and animal babies.
We love your passion!! That’s why I watch 😀
Lester, I'm a new yorker and we say okie dokie too. Lol. So glad Trudy is better. Love all of you and God bless you all. Keep up the amazing job you and the family do. Your videos get me through the day.
You, Jami, and the rest of the family are doing God's greater purpose. God loves you brother!
Oh Lester you have touched my heart with your emotion!!!!! Between laughing and wiping my own tears away as you tell your story and share what you’re seeing! I sure love your channel and listening to you speak!!
Sometimes words provide directions in our lives we never intended or anticipated. In hindsight I often laugh at my mindset during various episodes and situations throughout my life. The reality has not always been 'my plan(s)' but certainly were the better plans.
This video forced me to think back on things that changed my life for the good and the bad. I appreciate you for sharing such emotional experiences in your life. You show us it's ok to be human....okie dokie!!!
Okie dokie you are counting your blessings. How beautiful is that. Yes I'm celebrating and crying along with you. 🥰😉
Thank you, Lester, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing us your heart. God works in mysterious ways, for sure! May He continue to bless you and your family as you continue to care for and love HIS creatures. 💗
Love it that u show your emotions Lester please don't stop because it is who u r today and your fur babies need u
We say okie dokie here in Minnesota. I love that you are real and honest and not afraid of showing emotions. That is one of the reason I married my husband and probably why we are still happily married after 32 years.
It's all good Lester, I to sometimes go around saying Okie Dokie Smokey your such a wonderful caring and most of all your so funny and we all love that about you... Take care and have fun with all your sweet beautiful fur babies! 😊 ❤
I just love you and the sanctuary so much, Lester!! Thank you for the morning smile..and tears!!
You are so welcome!
Lester, thank you for putting your 100%, open, honest self on here for all of us to love life with you :)
it's nice that donkey dan knows something is wrong with Trudy and you can see in his face and in his eyes he's trying to make her feel better and comfort her and be there for her. Almost like he's protecting her and purposely putting the shadow on it in case the sun is hurting it or something.
Bless you all. Thank you for sharing your life, but also realizing that it was not all you, you give credit to Dr. Sanford, God, and your subscribers. Thank you for being real, and humble.
I just love you guys! Good hearted, humble people making a difference for animals that need it 😁 so much heart, love, and passion
Lester you touch my heart...you are so humble and appreciate EVERYTHING...Jami and you deserve all goodness this world can give you bc you give it right back ten fold...don't ever change...love you big guy💙
Lester u are just emotional right now from what you have said to us. Love the new area of the stalls that are being built half way right know. Lester u feel so proud of how far u have come in ur teaching.
You are blessed, Lester...and you have blessed many, animals and humans, alike!
Lester I am so glad I came across your videos . Some days I spend hours watching your family's videos. I laugh I cry I talk to y'all. In many of your videos you say, "I don't know what's wrong with me." I'm here to tell YOU there is nothing wrong with you. You are loving your family and animals. I hate it when I hear the phrase " big boys don't cry." I beleive that is where today has fallen apart. REAL MEN cry. Thank you for all you do for your animals and me. God bless.
Thank you Melody, we are glad that you enjoy them.
