    Your focus is in exactly the right place. As much as I enjoy your program what you are doing is far more important than entertaining us. 😢Take care of your selves and your mom, we will still be with you whenever you return to the boating videos. Best wishes, love your vlogs.👍

    I sympathize with you and your family. I lost my mom in 2019 to cancer. Hardest thing I've ever gone through. I still think about her all the time and I can finally smile through the tears of my memories. Hold tight to family and friends, you will get through this. Please take care

    From the moment I came across you pouring a lead keel, your passion for life has been on full display. I missed the launch party by a day and was pretty torn up. Taking a break for your family is way more important than any content. Hope your mom is comfortable as you share this final chapter with her. Peace brother..

  • @cjveeneman
    @cjveeneman 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Did the same 3 yrs ago for Dad. I feel you, and send you my love and support. God bless you during this difficult time, and I hope your family as a whole experiences a very special closeness.

    This is something I was blessed to help my parents's through. They both died with dignity at home 18 years apart. Having the oppurtunity to be with them through their journey was a gift many don't get and some wont take. After it is over they still live on inside of us, Good luck and God bless!

  • @Mtlmshr
    @Mtlmshr 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    @TheZ0dMan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I came across your channel by mistake several years ago looking for forging videos and found your video on the pouring the 100 gallons of lead for your keel, I've been hooked for the last 6 years or so watching Arabella "grow up" and consider my self lucky to see a small part of your life. All my love and support to you are your family at this difficult time. Take as much time as you need to focus on what is really important, I'll be happy to watch videos of hay bailing until you return.

    Hi Steve and family,
    I think about you, your Mom and family often. It always hits me more on Friday mornings, because it’s part of my week to see what you’re doing. I’m not encouraging you to hurry back quite the opposite, I’m hoping that you are getting to spend extra time with your Mom. Your journey is your own and I hope you’re getting as much joy as sorrow on the path.
    Blessings to you and your family.
    Dave

    You helped me through a most difficult time by giving me brief distraction and a vision of seeing things through to their completion while I dealt with relocating to the East Coast to aid my father's failing health and his eventual death. TH-cam content doesn't matter, your family and your emotional health is what is important.

  • @Bruin4Life
    @Bruin4Life 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Sending prayers to you and the family. I just went through home hospice with my mother about 7 years ago and then with my wife (cancer stage-4) 2.5 years ago. It is not easy, but I know you will get thrugh it. The grief counselors told me it is a long endless road that gets easier to travel as time goes on. Take care and stay well and safe. God Bless!❤

    Two things. First, as a young guy in the 60’s I did so much hay bucking that I still shake my head in wonder. Having said that, it’s fun to see the old school hay conveyor and the family doing this chore together.
    Second, I feel your pain re your Mom. A person only gets one mom and it’s a tough part of life at the end. My sympathies ❤️

    Steve, Sadly I know what is coming because I have been through this with several of my family members. The coming weeks will not be easy. Take this time to do what you need to do there, right now this time with your mom is far more important, from where I sit you have handled this well and made the right choices.
    I will be looking forward to when you come back to making videos, but please do take all the time you need. You owe that to yourself.
