@@randomvintagefilm273 As someone who has a bachelors in psychology, I can say that it can be a good thing. If he's happy, and his kids are happy, and this woman will love him and those kids, then there is no reason why it would cause any psychological damage. He will always love his wife he lost, just as those kids will always love the mother they lost. His new fiance isn't gonna change that.
If she is someone whom his children know before, its alright to begin with. But theirs is a long distance relationship, never have they see each other than virtually and most importantly, they are of 2 different cultures. If this woman is single, did she really loves him that much to be a mother to 7 children? Or she only wants to go to America no matter what?
@@Kyobonation I'm willing to bet my ranch and 360 acres of land, that all this woman wants is to get a green card. She will probably take him to the cleaners.
I know Nate did an amazing job covering the Daybell/Vallow case, but THIS is the reason why I started to watch East Idaho News all the way from PA. Heart of gold, Nate. It is so apparent that you actually care
1 car. Yes, I’ve started watching with Daybell/Valliw case but agree with you also! This is the real reason why I started watching East Idaho news all the way from Utah!!! 🤣😀. And all the other secret Santas that I have been watching tons of now! And I used to be from PA!!! Outside of Philadelphia from the Main Line area, Gladwyne... where would you be from by chance?! Yes, Nate does care! He is a good man…
Nate is not JUST a reporter; he’s a true empath who cares about others. And Dakota, as a widow whose sweet hubby passed in his sleep totally unexpectedly, I relate so much to your story. Your courage to share with us, is a far reaching ministry that goes beyond any man-made religion and reaffirms the soul connection. Thank you. 💕
Dakota, Abbey, and the children, I sincerely wish nothing but abundance of infinite blessings to you. I remember when I last saw ur Saint Nick surprise coming from love, and still ugly cry to this day when thought of. Thank You Nate, Saint Nick, and Jesus for all the wondrous great works that you do for the ppl in need! You all esp touched the Dakota family and helped them to heal (from what ya can), spreading good not just for that time, but for the rest of their lives. You all are the epitome of grandness...and then some. God bless you all and thank you so much for sharing 💒 PS If anyone is reading, please send a prayer to Jesus for my son. He needs blessings living thru inoperable cancer. If anyone can help, send your prayer to Jesus for him. We Thank You in advance for making lives blessed n better by this selfless act of generosity towards another 💞
@@lorrainewhitlock5377 Lorraine, that was so selfless. TY so much for that love, kindness and generosity towards another. It's most heartfelt, endearing, that my son retrieved a blessing of prayer by you, thru Him! N what a beautiful prayer it surely is 🎯 💞 Thank You 💒 We couldn't ask for anything more but with what you gave. What a grand priceless gift we shall thoroughly enjoy. N as always, abundance of blessings thru Him to you...and all 🙏
God please send this man his new wife to love & take care of him & the kids in the way his first wife would have. Continue to touch this family and bless them in way they need. Amen
Isn't God the SOB who took his wife in the first place ? Shame on you for asking this "God" to try and "make" it right by replacing what he took. Prayers aren't what he needs....
I was so concerned about this fine young man and his family. It's so good to know he's been able to pull the family through the rough stuff and all are beginning to heal.
Lovely to hear how all the family is doing so well. Look forward to the next update and meeting the new special person who is going to be joining the family. Sending you the best of wishes for you all from Yorkshire, England.
I have a friend who went through the process of getting his bride to the US. It was lengthy. She's been in the US now maybe 5 yrs. They are wonderful together. Funnest thing? Teaching her to drive. She's awesome. They have 2 children, now & loads of friends & our Lord. God bless you all!
I think the fact that Nate keeps contact with so many, is just awesome. I remember the first video clip and crying my heart out. Dakota, I'm so happy that you found Abbey. Wishing you all a wonderful time together. Of everything in this life, love 💘 is the most important thing. Many blessings 🙏.
My mother raised us after my father passed away ALONE, I can guarantee if she had a partner after my father her life and our life would be much better. She would be much happier, and we would have a father figure or even more siblings in our life. He is doing the right thing.
Aww, I remember that story, it was so touching. I'm so glad he is doing so well. Nate, I watched NBC Nightly News Kids Edition last night (yeah, I watch that lol) and lo and behold, there was darling little Emmy!!! I must tell you, she is the cutest, smartest, and sweetest little girl ever! You must be so proud! You're a great dad, Nate.
I am so happy Dakota has found a beautiful new partner, I was really hoping for this since I've watched the first Secret Santa video with him. I wish him, his wonderful partner and the beautiful kids just the best for now and forever. Dakota really is an inspiration.
Oh wow she’s a Filipino? Oh congratulations I truly believe that as a Filipino as well she will love your kids i can guarantee you that Sir because we don’t just love our family blood but we are raised in a culture that once that your married into a family you’ll treat them like yours
From South Africa to one of my own "faith " may Heavenly Father continue to Bless you and your family. In my thoughts and prayers constantly and so happy that you know families are together forever and eternal. Keep being strong as a family please 🙏
Such a great update indeed. Wishing Dakota and the children happiness in life. Surely our Heavenly Father knows us and will be there always to help us.
Dakota my husband and I wish you and your family the very best. You have been an inspiration to us. We pray for Heavenly Father's blessing to continue to be with you and you family.
@@thearodriguez8268 Why is it any of your business? My father met a woman in Panama on the Internet and they video chatted for several years and finally my dad went to meet her and they fell so in love with each other that they ended up getting married and they are still married 11 years later! I couldn’t ask for a better Christian stepmother she takes such good care of my dad.
May God bless this man and his family tenfold. Everytime I listen to his story it touches my heart. I pray he and his children find some joy and happiness as they move forward from their heartbreak I wish for him the best in his comeing marriage may it be blessed by our Heavenly Father.
I remember i was so emotional after i watched that video that secret santa gave you a surprise, God is really Good and he helped you and your kids move forward, i wish and pray that God will continue to give you comfort and blessings, i know lots of people are praying for you too, i wish all the best for you and the whole family.
Dear Dakota, may almighty bless you and your children , I have full faith in you and your ability to raise the family with all the love the kids deserve , may God give you all strength and courage that you need!! Dear East Idaho , news all thanks to you and secret Santa for all that you guys are doing to keep humanity alive !!
Secret Santa whoever you are just know you are touching more hearts than their are stars in the skies. Random Acts of Kindness are never out of season.
Well I sure shed some tears when I first saw him get some much needed help. Abby sounds like a Godsend, the Phillipine people are so darn nice, that has been my experience with people from that island nation . All the best to you and your family Dakota .
This is why I like watching stories from East Idaho News. They follow up with the people that have been helped. Most of the time you see a story and never find out anything else. This is how a news Org should be!
its 02.18am here in Wales, UK...........i,m addicted to this show..........."loving" it.........SO many descent, good people having a "hard" time of IT etc............i "always" say.....there,s always someone "worse-off" than your/myself etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great to "See" well-deserving people "Get" etc.........Best of Luck to them all..........
Many Prayers for you and your family Dakota!! Your a good dad, sorry for your loss!! How are the kids doing!! God🕊 Bless you and your family!! Life can be good, I am so happy that you found someone to love!!❤USA!!😊🙏
May God continue to bless you and your family. You seem like an awesome father and a good person. I hope your new relationship will continue to blossom.
Nate even looked to have gotten teary eyed with that gift 🥲 what a terrible thing that happened to him and his family. What a great guy and father! Thank you secret Santa! ❤️
I only found your channel yesterday so have been watching these secret santa vids. I saw his story last night, it made me cry. It's nice to see how he's doing now. :) BTW, this secret santa is just a wonderful person.
So happy his life is filling with Joy, I lost my husband in an accident 8 months ago, it's so hard raising 4 little children alone and with the help of a supportive community just like he has, I've thought so often of Dakota, and was wondering how he's doing, anyone who hasn't walked in these shoes hasn't felt this pain, but it takes everyone's prayers and support to Carry us when we can't walk alone,it gets harder and more emotional by the month, thanks for updating us, this was special, I'm thankful to God for the blessings he's bestowed upon Dakota's family,they deserve the best
You deserve the best, too! Sending you hugs and love! Like I told another widow in the comments, it takes a really strong and special soul to go through life with this, and I'm wishing you so many blessings and peace and sending you strength!
@@meeesy thanks,yes it takes a lot of strength, strength from the Lord, no one can do this alone, it's the hardest thing I've ever gone through and very extremely emotional, I wouldn't wish it for anyone, although I pray that I'll be stronger and more humble by walking this journey, right now we are only trying to survive and focus on one day at a time
He is really a good guy and a father!! I witnessed that.. and we prayed everything and everyday for the decisions we are making.. and we are so thankful for being guided.. and we are so grateful for all the blessings.. and i am so happy that the kids and dakota are happy..
Dakota thanks you for sharing your faith and testimony through all of this! Love it!!! when the gospel firmley planted in our lives and hearts it becomes part of us, our personality! We share it naturally. I do this often through my job as well. It just naturally comes out. So happy you're happy!
Thanks so much Mr. Eaton & your organization for these updates! Dakota & his children was one of the stories that I think of often & pray for since my 1st viewing of it.
you have my prayers from the Uk, I am too a mother and a grandmother of 2 adults now and 4 beautiful grandkids.

I wish you all the Happiness in the world Dakota God bless you and your family. Julie in The UK
Please let this new woman be a blessing to this man and children he doesn't need any more grief please god bless this family

Can count on Nate making me cry at 4:30 in the am. I can't even imagine trying to get by with one child if something happened to a parent let alone 7.
How are you managing?
"I'm not". 😂💗

Beautiful interview,praise be to God.
It must be so hard to open your heart again after loosing the love of your life
I dunno. I find it weird (the time line I'm seeing) that he found another "love of his life" a year after his wife passed. Seems way too soon to me.
