As a mother who lost a child 51 years ago DeeJay I can atest that you never get over that loss of a child. You know God had a purpose but the mothers heart there's always a missing piece. I remember my daughter every year on her birthday, I know one day I'll see her again.
I lost mine in 2008 at age 29 hugs to you
Hugs..I lost my adult son less than a month after he retired from the Army after 20 years. It’s been ten years ago last month.
I lost my 38 year old daughter 20 days ago 🙏❤️

I am Memaw Left here on Friday the 11th to have a great family night at the Farm Show Demo Derby. Not knowing what was ahead of us all. Fun and excitement turned into fear and heartbreak when my 16yr old grandson life flighted to Children's in Pittsburgh with severe head injuries where he was in seizures and not being able to function. PRAYERS WENT OUT . When we finally got to bring him home a couple days later we had to put shoes on, walk him, take care of him. I went to their home to help. I did get home today as he stood with me and hugged me and making huge steps in getting better. Its going to be a long road. But when my daughter dropped me off got me settled and headed home. I locked my door, turned around and cried so hard, thanking God for answering our prayers. I have cried and cried because I could finally let it out. I no longer had to be so strong for others was holding on to it all. Also for the prayers and those answered.
Im 64 year old grandad, they call me Popi. I dont cry, but after reading your story I was close. GOD BLESS you Memaw.
My wife and I will also pray for your grandson to have a full recovery. GOD BLESS.
So so to hear about your grandson. Many prayers for the whole family, I live an hour north of Pittsburgh ..my granddaughter was in xChildres at one time Manytight comfort hugs comfort hugs to you.
U poor thing. Much love and hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤❤
Thank you all but we are ok he will take time but he will heal. And we have God to thank for that blessing.
@@yomudd4x443 I am curious as to why you don't cry. I'm 61, and while I don't cry all the time, I have no issues at all crying when a situation warrants it. God gave us a whole range of emotions, and crying is just as good as any of the others.
I lost my daughter when she was 54. My brother lost a child at 36 hours. It’s a horrendous loss any time. Sorry to hear of anyone’s loss. 💔💔💔
No fair! That was such a tease! I can't wait to see that fluffy little donkey!!❤😂
We lost a son at 14 months old due to an accident, so I know personally what the Smith family goes through on a daily basis. My heart and prayers go out to them.
🙏💗
I'm so very sorry for your loss of your son! I pray God gives you His comfort and His peace!
Unfortunately drowning is the number one cause of death in 1-4 yr olds. From ages 5-14 drowning is still the second highest cause of unintentional death after automobile crashes. It's really hard to get past especially if there's too much self-blame and should-a, could-a, would-a-isn or worse finger pointing. I've seen marriages fall apart after an accidental child's death with the blame game. Any of the above is never going to bring that child back and it leaves one with resentment and bitterness keeping you from moving forward .
I had a strange "dream" once when I was really sick as a kid it was all bright and then I was b y a stream with trees with tire swings and climbing rope swings and children everywhere. Some were flying kites Some were playing with pets. Or playing ball. The best part was JESUS was sitting on a log telling stories to all the littlest ones. As I approached he offered me a space to sit next to him. I was just filled with a sense of peace and amazement. Then Jesus said to me it was not yet my time and it became foggy and cloudy and I could no long see anything. I woke up in my bed and was told some horriffic fever I had broke. I have two sisters that died at childbirth. I could "feel" them there. Just know if you lost a young child, they are hanging out with Jesus and angels ❤
@@Og-Judy Wow what an amazing story ❤I remember when Granger and Amber lost their son, it was devastating, but they believed God needed River more ❤
DeJay, your videos are always very uplifting. God bless y'all. How is Weston and Max? I miss seeing them. It's a shame there aren't more channels like the Arms family, not saying there aren't any, but not many who share God. Love and prayers for the Arms family. ❤🙏🙏❤
Oh, my goodness!! The quick clip of Freedom's new baby...it's gorgeous!! I can't wait to see the next video!
I've always said that the worst thing in life has to be losing a child and thankfully, I don't know what that's like and hope I never do.. my sons are in their 30's and I have 3 granddaughters and I never want any of them to go before me. My heart breaks for anyone that's ever lost a child.
Oh my, that baby donkey is adorable!!! Anxiously waiting for the next video! Thank you, DeJay, you are such a sweetheart and it's a joy to watch your videos! 💜❤❌⭕
I hope you never know that pain!
@@teresamurray7839 Me too, Teresa. I deeply feel for any woman that has suffered in this way.
I love watching Charley run around! He’s so cute!
OMG Dejay! You had me in tears, then suddenly jumping for joy for Freedom’s new baby! Waiting on the edge of my seat for an update!
God bless you all❤
I guess you know Jessie is living her best life ❤😊
I lost my son 20 yrs ago when he was 28 from a rare form of cancer. It wasn't usually found in people as young as he was. Oddly, when he was 4, his best friend came down with a rare form of cancer for someone his age! I am sure that the two of them are currently together comparing notes in heaven. They were both 2 of the strongest fighters I've ever seen; right to the end.
I got Granger's book, and saving it to read on Vacation next week. I cried over their videos, too. I hope you didn't get kicked, DeJay! Can't wait for the next video!
Have learned to go forward after losing my girlfriend in 2016. I'll never get over it nor forget, but she wouldn't ever want me to giveup and not go forward and get the best out of life that God has given. It's help in my sobriety and stay on the right track. We all have trials but if you confront them with a positive attitude you will privail. It's is better to trust in the Lord then to put confidence in man Psalm118:8.
Aww man! DeJay that was mean! 😁
Can’t wait to see the new baby! 😍
I am waiting on my copy of Granger’s book.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
hey from watertown ny
My niece was a victim of homicide last week and there's no clues as to who is responsible. It's been gut wrenching grief for us since. You sort of like just go through the motions. We laid her to rest Monday. To hear a mother you've known for more than half your 61 years cry out in complete and utter anguish is something you won't soon forget. She was only 25 years old with a small son. Love you guys.
I am so sorry.
So very sorry for the pain you feel now in the loss of your niece. May God send his healing love to you and your family and for justice
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.
DeJay, you are such a blessing to all of us for being with Daniel and your kids. They are all a blessing, so good the way you and Daniel are bringing them up. Bless you.
Charlie is so cute - being close to him/her may help when fully grown. Oh, dang, now we have to wait to see the new baby. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing, eh :))
❤❤❤❤❤❤ somebody is a mama me thinks!!! I bought his book! It is an excellent read
DJ your my pickuper when I'm having a crappy day love u guys ❤
We are not guaranteed days on earth, and we have no control on tomorrow. We all travel through life, and we have people that enter and exit our life. After losing my only child it took a long time to understand this. I have ordered his book and eager to read. Thank you for sharing!.
You are such a blessing!
I hope you never get tired of me saying your videos are awesome they all are
You always cheer me up with your videos, today was a lousy day, so I was glad to get to sit for a few minutes and cheer up a bit. God Bless you and your family. Did I see a new baby at the end??😊

And, your sharing about loss and love and recovery was lovely! Thank you 😍

Congratulations! On the new baby!
Hello, First time watching your videos!😊😊😊
DeJay, you are such a blessing to many.
You share your love for the Lord & god that I’m very thankful.
God bless you & your family.
So good to see both of the kitties getting along so well now. Congrats on the new baby to the farm. Very exciting.
Thank you so much for recommending Granger Smith's book! I had listened to his music now and then but I had not gotten much into his backstory. I knew he was from Texas, but that was about all I knew. His backstory is phenomenal! And I discovered that he used to live less than two miles from me and now lives less than 30 miles from me! I will have to look into going to the next Yee Yee celebration. I have been binge watching their channels and cannot wait for the book to arrive!
I read Granger’s book and it was so so good and heart touching.
Oh my gosh now I have to wait until next time to see the baby! That’s pretty cool. I don’t know if I missed it or not but I didn’t hear a song of the week! Well, y’all stay cool, and have a blessed day!
I’ve been following Granger and family for years! They are a precious family! It was so heartbreaking to hear of River’s passing! I just finished reading his book! It will inspire everyone who reads it!!
You are such a blessing. Thank you for sharing your faith and God’s blessings with us. I needed to hear this today. God bless you.
My deepest condolences to the Smith family! My heart goes out to them for their loss. Looking forward to your new addition to your farm! DYB new babies are always so exciting!
I had to read it a little at a time. I couldn’t read through the tears. Their story touched me deeper than so many I have listened to. I know and pray that his book will help others that are going through a loss.
What a tease this ending was!! I can’t wait for the next episode.
I started following him back then I lost my son and love them so much
Ok! That was not very nice of you to leave us hanging like that. 😊
I can’t imagine loosing a child at any age! Parents should not out live their children!
Thanks for sharing about Granger’s book. It sound very uplifting and sad at the same time!
Thank you for sharing your farm life with us today! 💕
Hi DeJay. What a blessing you are. God is so good to everyone. I believe you just have to listen and believe. Love and joy to you my friend.
Thanks for liking my comment
Loss my son when he was 4years 38 years ago, I always say you will never get over the loss but you do learn to cope you have to when you still have other children to look after .❤
Thank you for sharing about Grangers book!!
Dee Jay
Nice share on Granger Smith & your self "Like a River" thank you
Blessings David
I was looking closely at the donkeys bc of your intro. I saw the white baby on the hill and wondered if I missed a video of the new baby. Can’t wait til next time❤
Can’t wait to see the baby ❤
God Bless you for your open faith and witness.
DeJay, I absolutely love your content. It is so real and heart warning. Oh my goodness a new baby on the farm. I can't wait to see the baby and find out if it is a boy or girl. Keep being yourself. God Bless you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
Love the ending of the video ❤❤❤❤❤
Granger’s book was one of the best that I have ever read about grief and I highly recommend reading it. He is so brutally honest and my heart always feels a little broken for he and Amber when I think about River. I have been watching The Smith’s for a long time and enjoyed watching all of their kids including Riv and enjoyed his antics so much and when I learned of his passing I felt so broken hearted for all of their family. He was a very special little boy and not scared of anything. I pray for then everyday and have watched their battle with grief and cried along with them. So very proud saying that I am a follower of their channel and am looking forward to seeing where they go from here. Get the book and read their story…You won’t regret it!
I seen it😮 when you zoomed out lol Congratulations on the baby
Thanks for sharing.
OMGosh DeJay! What a terrible teaser! Cannot wait to see more of that new little one!!❤
As always, stay safe and blessed! ❤🙏❤
A long time ago I met Granger on y'all's channel and found out he had a youtube channel. I've been watching them ever since as being a native Texan. The way I see it Yee Yee is a Texas brand and I do have a tee shirt with Yee Yee on it and wear it proudly. The Smith's are really great people. I do appreciate the fact I met them through y'all. I do look forward to his movie that will be coming out. I've looked for his book but haven't found it yet. I love the donkeys and if they allowed them in my neighborhood I would be tempted to get one but they don't. I do keep up with Jessie and she is doing so good. Enjoyed and thanks. Love y'all
Was watching Jesse today. You sure picked a great home for her. She is such a lover. Jason &Brooke give her lots of lovin.
I had seen you and Daniel at TS when you bought the treats,picked up some for my dwarf goats they love them
We lost an 11 month old due to downs syndrome. What a gift he was. I'm with you DeJay, I am so proud of The Smiths. This CRPS (look it up) has changed my life. I call it CRAP. So your family and all the You Tube Families have been such a blessing to me! Oh wow!! congrats on the new baby!!! Oh boy-- a cliff hanger! But what I really want to tell you is................................ Next time! Two can play this game!! hahahhahha LOVE you guys!!
I can't wait to see the next video!! I hope Freedom didn't get ya too bad.
Tragic things happen to get us through and be stronger during the pain and draw us closer to Him and then we trust Him more. It becomes our testimony.
....and you are doing a great job of putting out a very great message. 👍 ❤ ☝️
So sorry for their loss. We all deal with things differently, as long as we deal with it!! That's what my brother told me after Dad passed. I've had to tell myself that repeatedly in the last couple years. I lost him and another brother within 3 days of each other and 3 sisters, a nephew, and 2 sister-in-laws all in such a short time. I feel broken. Empty. They were my best friends. Why??? 😭 I keep telling myself there's a reason. This too shall make you stronger!!?? Hug everyone you know when you see them. Then the circle of life. New babies come around!!!!😊👣❤
I enjoy watching your videos
37 years ago Aug 16th we lost our 3 year old Matthew in a drowning accident. He would have been 40 years old July 21st. Even though it has been so long, my precious little boy is forever in my heart, never forgotten. It took me a very long time, but I can be thankful that he will never have to deal with this evil world we live in. I can say absolutely that God's grace is sufficient and He can and will mend our broken hearts when we let Him.
Amen, DeeJay! God’s Love and mercy are powerful! ❤
We lost a grandson in 2003. That is a pain you never get over. I am excited to see the new baby!
Like a River, I like Reading an actual book too! And share the pain of losing a child, and can help heal the wound caused by sudden loss of life.
It was just 9m ago on the 15th, that we lost our lil 3yr old boy. We so can relate to what they went thru. 😢
Lost my mom when I was 9 and now my stepmom is on hospice w cancer. You never know what life will bring you.
I'm only 35 and it feels like I've been thru the mill ha.
But...we must rem, WE HAVE A STRONG GOD ❤
As always, LOVE ur videos dj AND daniel
I love the openess you share and remind us of God's love.
Thanks for the share of Grangers book and of the baby donkey.
I lost my daughter and it is a loss like no other. You learn to be able to live but the pain remains. Good people die and it doesn’t seem to be a reason. God helps you tolerate the loss. 🙏🙏
You don’t get “over” any loss, you do ho on with your life as best as you can. That’s different for everyone and it changes as life changes. I need to get that book. My boss lost one of her grown sons unexpectedly two years ago and just this week, lost a second grown son unexpectedly. Please pray for Deb.
Watching the replay 😀
I love all your beautiful Animals reminds me of when we go see my Grandmother and Grandfather early in the Am and we would have to feed the chickens and gather tge eggs,miss the good old Days,❤😂😊
Just ordered his book.... cant wait to read it!!❤ Some times he says yes, some times he says no. Some times he says wait... wait.... wait.... wait.... but God ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYERS!!
I lost my mother when I was only 14 years old and that real shook up my growth and decsion making. ☺
Is that a new baby donk??!! 😍
I lost my mum nearly 5 years ago & still now I wish I could hear her voice
Looks like you got some color in the herd that you were hoping for. Congrats on new baby.
I got Grainger's book the day it previewed. What a good book. It is so great.
I cried so much reading Grangers book,a man among men. God has shown his light on the family.
After having lost two children to drugs,. I say to others , my heart aches for for your pain. Every situation is different and to say I know your pain my not true. God's love is what gets you through. Love to all!
Oh now I can't not wait for the next video !
