It's no use hating it..put that energy into knowing the Lord of the heavens..the One who made everything & holds everything together..the Lord Jesus Christ who is appearing soon for His true followers..His Bride!
@@PlanetLiala..the greatest is to use it as a time to search for & know God..'call upon the name of the Lord & you will be saved'. Eternity is what we all are facing..do we know the God of Eternity?
As I write this, I’m battling aggressive cancer too. “Not today” that’s my mantra too. I will use Maddy as my inspiration to keep fighting and live every day with love and positivity and gratefulness. Her light and strength is eternal ❤
I don’t know how TH-cam recommends this video.. I have tear in my eyes after watching..my mother is diagnosed with cancer in August 24 …. Please pray for my mother😢
I am so sorry for your mother. I lost my own mother to cancer. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I will pray for your mom's recovery. Please have hope and faith. God bless you. 🙏
I am literally bawling my eyes out. I asked God how such a beautiful angel on earth can be taken away from those that she loves, and that love her back? Her strength is remarkable. Her smile is imprinted on my heart. This beautiful girl endured so much while striving to stay alive for her family. May she rest in peace.
You have a memory to share with all- to a time when Maddy was younger. Even though most here have/had never met her…another piece to the puzzle was just added on to it. Thank you for that.
I admire her bravery, in spite of the long scary battle she fought so well. She seemed to have a forever smile and positive outlook on her life, so that her loved ones wouldn’t be afraid or sad. I hope I’d be so brave in the face of death. RIP Maddy.❤
There was really no other way she could be. She had no alternative, because she loved her family so much. Like, how would a loving mother possibly act any other way, really!
I’m 68, lost my wife to brain tumor in 1988, my daughters were 3 & 5. Still seams like it was yesterday I lost her! Still miss her as much today as I did when she passed! So sorry on your loss!
I know how you feel because this woman and I are the same age and I found out about her and her journey the week before I turned 27. It made me feel so guilty because here I am being healthy and complaining about everything but she was at the end of her journey and she was being so positive and smiling all the time. I honestly cried my eyes out of guilt. It made appreciate life so much more and to be grateful everyday I’m alive for another year. Because that is a blessing let alone a gift. 💕❤️🙏🏽
@@cartermember21Didyou read the tribute to her in the videos description? It was so beautiful and you really got to know all the things she did in her life. I have no idea how she fit everything she did into the 26 years she was here. But reading that and watching the video showed what a special soul she was. You could do easily tell she was one of those truly good to their core people. The kind of person you don't meet very often because she somehow managed to hold on to innocence and not let life dampen her view of the world. It's so unfair she is not here anymore. She was one of those people who could of made the world a better place. I hope the over 6.6 million people who have watched this now carry some of the innocence she had, because in her memory we should all try a little harder to be like Maddy.
@@tamitribbiani7907It’s important to distinguish that god had no hand in taking this poor woman’s life. hopefully, though, she is now in his hands as she rests in peace
God seems to take the spirited and beautiful ones. He took my daughter when she had just turned 20, 12 yrs ago. She lit it all up just like this beautiful lady did. God bless her family!
5G. Preservatives in foods. Think about it. Grandparents ate meat and potato’s. Not even close to the amount of crap fast food and processed boxed foods.
Colon cancer took my father's life. When he passed away, I decided I wasn't going to be sad, I decided I would be grateful for the time we had. I firmly believe we will meet again. When the time comes, I will ask him if he is proud of me. I am so proud of him and the work he did to make me the man I am.
As a mom of three kids, I cannot imagine how hard it was for Maddie to say Goodbye to her little kids and her family. Chandler, so sorry for your loss. May God bless you, the kids, and your family.
Can't believe I'm here crying for stupid reasons while there are people my age out there dying due to horrible and unstoppable diseases. Maybe this video randomly popping on my feed was the sign that I should stop worrying/having anxiety for almost everything and start living.
I’m feeling the same. Here I am over here feeling bummed out over something stupid, and then this video pops up. I can’t believe someone so young went through so much with a smile on her face no less. No one in their mind 20s just starting their life should be diagnosed with end stage cancer. Maddie has inspired me to live in the now, and stop caring about the past and future.
When you start being grateful for all the "small" things in life that's when you start living. You don't need a massive holiday to be happy. You don't need a designer item. It's a lie that we are being fed. Just because grateful for things like health...freedom...food..family....we have so much more than we realise ❤
Hello from Canada. I am watching this for the first time. I am in tears. I sit and again wonder why I survived Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I had cancer twice. I really did not have much hope . There was no one who survived the type of cancer I had. I am still the leader 5 yrs later . My oncologist keeps saying I am special. I look at Maddy so happy a mom and wife. Everything I am not. So with this, I shall keep Maddy in my mind when my depression knocks me down. I fought and beat cancer, but I can not win depression. I will replay this video to remind me that life is a gift. God Bless
You were meant to be HERE, you have more work to do on earth, you will find your purpose. It's sad, because in this day and age, it seems EVERYONE is depressed, including me. Something in our world needs to change.
Im now a babbling crying mess,, my mother passd away from cancer 5 years ago.. I feel your pain. she seemed like a absolutely beautiful woman.. You can tell by the way you looked at her that you absolutely loved and adored her . Condolences to you and your family chandler
as a fourteen year old girl watching this for the first time i wanted to let you know how incredibly sorry i am for your family. I know that thi swas a while back but no one should have to go through this. Maddy was a beautiful warrior and she truly deserved the best in life. I hope your family is doing okay now. Your children will be so proud to know that she was their mum. Rest in peace beautiful angel xx
I was 25 & a soldier when I lost my wife 35 years ago. And I have to say your're a wise young lady & have alot of compassion for others. Please don't lose that.
My goodness...as someone who's almost 3x your age--can I just say, you are so well articulated and insanely sweet. Don't ever lose that!!! You give me hope for the next generation lol
These videos are a gift to some of us that don’t even have cancer, but have other substantial obstacles in life that feel impossible. Maddy is an angel.
This woman deserves a movie. This showed up at the top of my recommended videos. Idk why. And I don’t know why I felt compelled to click on this 20 minute long video about some random woman I’ve never met. But I did. I spent just over 20 minutes getting to know this woman, getting to watch her hold onto so much positivity when all the odds were stacked against her, something that I, myself am painstakingly terrified of. She also seems so incredibly lucky that she has such a supportive family and the ability to afford what looked like just about the best last year you can have. By the end of this video, I now feel like I know her myself. I won’t lie, it made me tear up. Maddy sounds like a wonderful, amazing wife, mother and everything else. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
I’m watching this and thinking “she was a beautiful person inside out.” I’m sure she’s watching over you three from above and is filled with joy knowing how loved she was.
As a medical doctor who has been around patients that died, even young ones, and is expected to be desensitised to the realities of life, and also as someone who is not even a crier, I was sobbing by the end of this beautiful montage celebrating your wife and your life together. Maddy was obviously a remarkable, beautiful and incredible mother, wife and human being. Any of us, never having even met her, can recognise that. My heart breaks for you, Chandler, and your kids. But you have also displayed an extraordinary amount of courage in the malevolent face of cancer as you held your wife’s hand through this and so, I have no doubt that you will not only dust yourself off and show up for your children but rebuild a beautiful life for them where all of you will thrive, just like Maddy would’ve wanted. Rest in paradise to your dear sweet wife
@@87JuliR As doctors, we are more desensitised than the average person who doesn't find themselves surrounded by the dying everyday. Desensitised absolutely does not equate to apathy, a lack of empathy or becoming blase though and that is where YOU are wrong. It speaks of the 'shock' of something like human passing being dulled simply due to sheer experience. The first patient death I saw made me bawl in the duty room, my first few autopsies attended (of people younger than me) put me into a desolate and disillusioned place for weeks. Hell, being in the PICU and seeing 5 year olds arrest made me question my faith in God. While the sadness prevails each time I encounter such a case, the intensity and shock is not all encompassing and devastating as the first or second or third time and is instead replaced by quiet acceptance. It is also the only way in which most care providers can deal with the trauma of watching the precarious balance between life and death everyday and continue functioning. I weave poems and prose from patient encounters that moved me and the wonders and pitfalls of medicine, the body, the human condition. Very far from callous. I wouldn't expect you to understand what I'm talking about unless you work in healthcare so you're forgiven for your sanctimonious and ignorant comment.
@@thanishasanthosh2204 he meant the universal "you" not you in particular. Though responding to your post he was wondering out loud how could anyone be desentizised. I am an ER trauma doc and know how to read people.
She was a beautiful soul! I have stage 4 lung cancer, and I will strive to give off positive vibes, and a glowing smile like Maddy! What a inspiration for all! Heaven received a angel! U r a beautiful family!
“You don’t have to live forever you just have to live” - a wise man May she rest in piece and fly high may she watch over her children from a different point of view. Amen 🙏🕊️🕊️🌹🌹
I’m so sorry your family lost Maddy. She looks like an amazing human that the world shouldn’t be without. You are doing a beautiful job honouring her memory.
@@barbaraseccombe2421 May God embrace you with His love and Grace, Barbara. Your brave decision will give you time to actually LIVE, not endure the rest of your life having painful, debilitating treatment for its own sake. Be blessed
My mom is currently on her last days from her battle of stage 4 colon cancer that mastisized to her perineal lining (her abdomen) as an aggressive cancer as well. I feel that this video randomly showed up on my suggested videos for a reason. No one should ever have to go through what they have. And it’s devastating to watch as their loved ones. My mom was just as positive and determined as Maddy is. My mom just celebrated her 50th birthday a month ago. I believe I came across this video to show that I’m not alone in this experience. Maddy looked like she had a beautiful life that should never been short lived. Thank you for sharing your experience as it helps those like me not feel isolated in such a devastating journey. Fuck cancer.
I’m so sorry, I lost my mom to aggressive cancer back in April. Diagnosed in January and gone less than 3 months later. This life is so unfair and I wish you the best in your grief journey because it’s not easy 😞
My mom died from cancer the 30th august 2024, she had cancer for the last three years, I hated to see her suffer everyday, but she's with god now, god bless her soul and all of theirs too, amen
I’m watching this three days after finding out the doctors gave my sister a 2-3 month life expectancy. I’m praying she is healed and that she gets to live all of the days the Lord has appointed. Thank you for sharing your wife’s beautiful life ❤
My prayers go out to you and all those that this horrible illness is & has affected 🙏🏾 ! I lost my mother & 2 siblings to cancer and I will forever be changed yet grateful for the time God gave me with them 🙏🏾 . Thank you Jesus 🙏🏾 ! I'm a crying train wreck right now 😢
Good for him! I know of a couple once where the wife died of cancer. She had a really good friend who helped her husband care for her during her dying. She sensed that the two of them would be good for each other after she was gone. At one point when she was still alive, she held both of their hands, and then clasped them together, as if giving her blessing to their future union. After she died, that’s exactly what happened! They got married. It just happens that way for some folks. Nothing wrong with it at all.
She was absolutely beautiful inside & out. Pure Joy, Agape love, & a ray of sunshine. God continue to cover her husband, two children, extended family, & friends. This is heartbreaking. I’m an oncology NP & have held my patients & their families hands so many times during this journey. I never took for granted the sounds in the hallway when the bell was rung symbolizing completion of treatment & preparation for the next journey which we call, survivorship. People ask all the time why and how do you take care of cancer patients. My response is always the same, I’m not taken care of cancer patients, I care for people who happen to have cancer. None of them want this… they are strong people who have families, purpose in life. I’ve learned so much from my patients. Live Life to the fullest, everyday is a NEW day, live a life of gratitude. My heart breaks when moments like this happen.
She lived more in 27yrs then most people do in 90yrs. Thanks for sharing... I needed a reality check of the precious moments we take for granted. My deepest condolences to you, sir. May God bless you and your children!
Appalling strength to live such a full life in her last year. Thanks to Maddy her kids were left with this lasting memory of their many wonderful experiences.
I get so angry when I see such young beautiful people inside and out die of cancer. Especially when they live a healthy lifestyle and do all the right things plus they are living their lives to their fullest. But then you see people that live into the 90’s who just waste their life with drugs and they are terrible people. They smoke cigarettes, eat whatever they want and never exercise a day in their lives. I’m not much of a religious person but I really hope that there is a good reason for it.
@@joeypilewsky1148Nice people don’t have to be trained too much anymore, so God call them back earlier than bad people. Nice people “get to” graduate from The School Of Life early! This is the theory what I choose to believe in:)
@@joeypilewsky1148 I hope you’re joking with this ridiculous and judgemental comment. People who smoke and do drugs have had to overcome horrible tragedies and obstacles in life too. Like being molested as children or physically abused and the list goes on for a while…. Nasty people like you say we’re wasting our lives away well I promise you this, if you had to walk in my shoes and what I’ve been through, you wouldn’t last a year.
Two babies that shouldn't have to grow up without their momma. A momma that will miss the rest of their lives and miss so many important milestones with them. 😭😭😭
Сколько смотрела, столько и плакала... Какая красивая, дружная, большая семья, какие все добрые и улыбчивые... Почему хороший людей забирают от нас так рано? Мои искренние соболезнования всем родным и близким🥀
I truly admire how she kept smiling even through the hardest times ❤ I can’t imagine what her family had and is having to go through now that she’s gone. I’m gonna keep their family is my prayers ❤❤❤
I noticed her son did “I love you” in ASL over the coffin 😌 she was beautiful, strong and her smile definitely lights up a room. I can tell. Beautiful tribute. 🩵
I was watching and when I saw she was only 26 and had 2 kids and died from cancer, my heart broke. I feel terrible for her loss in their family but she fought so hard and that’s what matters. Even with cancer she still had lots of fun with her family and let nothing stop her. I am sending my prayers for their family. But I know she is in heaven smiling and watching her family grow. ❤
I'm not afraid of cancer or any other chronic disease... I'm afraid of my kids losing their mother.. Because I believe no one love them the way I do.. May Allah (God) heal every soul and body.. Ameen
I am weeping. I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Maddy. Life can be so cruel and unfair. Its so evident that Maddy was so strong and so brave, smiling even towards the end. And that she loved her family and friends so much. RIP ❤❤
This left me sobbing. You could tell from the very first few seconds how incredible Maddie was. My heart is broken for you and for those sweet babies 💔
💔💔💔💔 I am so very sorry for your incredible loss. I have been crying, your beautiful story has brought me to tears from the unimaginable grief I feel for your family. Please know you are in my prayers. God Bless and comfort you all daily. She, INDEED, was BEAUTIFUL
@planethoth1238 Ok, so you think she’s just a young person who died? Kids in Africa are dying every minute of every day because of hunger, and some people care! But Maddy? She died of Stage 4 colon cancer and millions of people care! Maddy is not just some casual woman who came and went! She is a kind-hearted mom and wife that Chandler and his kids needed! It ain’t cool to say “Get over it, they’re just a person/animal!” To someone who lost a person/pet they loved! Maddy is more than a simple human!
It was no accident that I watched this. Though I am in tears over strangers, I cannot tell you how much I just learned from the courageous and beautiful soul Maddy seemed to be. I am about her age, I just turned 27, and I am a mother of a one year old. I can't imagine what it took for her to have to say goodbye to her family and to do her best to keep a positive outlook. She radiates strength, hope, and perseverance, and I have no doubt she will always be with your family. I will never forget her story. God bless you and your family.
This broke my heart. The amount of love in this whole video, how much you love her, how much she loves you gosh my heart breaks. Such a beautiful woman, mom and human. You're an amazing man, father and husband im praying for you and your family. ❤😢
As a single father of three children now,after losing my wife of 22 years at the age of 44 to corectal cancer , the pain and suffering she went through in her 4 year battle was the hardest thing we've ever had to endure.may they RIP.
@robharkins9412 I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife….may God give you and your family strength to endure the tough days ahead…my husband passed away in 2001 from a ruptured brain aneurysm…. we were 36y/o…I was devastated!!! 😭😭😭😩😩 so I know how y’all feel!!! 😢😢
I'm at a loss for words as this video was recommended at random. My heart breaks for you and your children. I admire her positive attitude and I commend you for editing this together. Prayers to you and your family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
As a grieving mother of two beautiful children myself 19 😇😭💔 8 😇😭💔 Omg so so sad 😭💔 R.I.P Maddie 😇😭 Condolences to Your Beautiful Kids,Family and friends xox
I've been here before. Nothing worse than watching your spouse go through this. You feel numb. My wife passed away in 2020 from esophageal cancer leaving me and three young kids behind and our youngest child was just six months old. I'm definitely praying for you. I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
I imagine that what you are going through is really difficult, but I would like to talk to you about someone very special. God gives us free will to choose to live our life our way or choose to live it with Him and for Him. That is why I advise you to repent of your sins and give your life to God. Jehovah is a triune God because he is the Holy Spirit, Jesus (son) and Father; and Jesus died on the cross for our sins because we cannot be saved and we were condemned to hell because we are all undeserving of the kingdom of heaven and the grace of God. (Romans 3:23)(Romans 3:10-12). But God, in his mercy, sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and later be resurrected. JESUS IS GOD and everyone who repents of their sins, believes in their hearts that Jesus died for our sins and confesses him as their lord and savior, will be saved. Romans 10:9-10. Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, english isn’t my native language so I had to use translator. ❤
Life is so unfair! 😢 I lost my momma when she was 47 from the same cancer. Momma only had a few months in remission before it was back & it no longer responded to treatment. I am praying for y'all. I'm glad you have so much video footage for the kiddos. 😢
The way her mood didn't change even after finding out the cancer was back again 😭 She was just living life for herself and your family, truly amazing! ❤ So sorry for your loss Chan! 💔
Such a beautiful person.Full of heart for her family. Such sad news for 2nd time,but still enjoying her life and family.What a beautiful person you are .And pretty too..
I have no words, sorry, so sorry. 😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤ it's just not fair. Keep smiling for the kids, you're a beautiful family. You don't deserve this. She was so beautiful.
Dearest Chandler. I have just cried my way through this video. My heart breaks for you, as I know what you went through. I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago, and shared all the experiences you and your beautiful Maddy went through. You have 2 gorgeous children who need their Dad now, more than ever. Cherish the memories you had together, and stay strong. Sending you and your family love, from Cornwall in the UK 😢💔
Ce qui est choquant c'est la joie et les rires du mari devant le cercueil de sa femme. Ce mec est dégoûtant, ça présageait bien que 3 mois à peine après sa mort il s'est déjà remarié !!!
Only when you have walked in another person's shoes can you understand what's happened. And you obviously have not. He gave her his everything to her and once she was gone he owed her nothing more, other to do his best to raise their children and live a good life. @@rozelleb3615
I love that at her funeral you all didn't wear black. Cancer is cruel and when a loved one has it, life gets rough. Maddie is such an inspiration and never gave up and let her cancer get in the way. I know in my heart that she was an amazing woman, mother, wife, daughter, and friend to all. I know she is looking down at you and your children and the rest of your family. Rest in peace Madalyn Rae Welsh Smith. 🙏❤
Now I know what they mean by a smile that lights up a room. What an incredibly brave woman. She did not allow cancer to take away her happiness or her light and even in the end she faced death with a smile on her face. She is truly a hero. My condolences to you, your children and your entire family for losing this angel.
I am so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful woman Maddy was, inside and out, she brought two beautiful little kids into this world, fought cancer like a true warrior & has a husband and family that clearly love her very much!!! This was an amazing tribute to an amazing woman/wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend. Well done, she will live on in your hearts forever.. Rest In Peace Maddy.
As a 12 year old almost 13, I just watched this video and I am so sorry for your loss I know this was very long ago , but I want you to know that she was amazing to you, your kids, yours and her family, She spent her last moments amazing.❤❤😢😢❤❤😢😢❤❤😢as I am typing this message, I just want to say I wish she could stay with us a little longer to see her kids grow up🥹😔😢WE WILL LOVE HER ALWAYS AND FOREVER❤❤❤
This is so brutal and unfair. As a dad of two small kids (about the same age as yours), I cannot imagine what you all are going through. Incredible tribute to her.
He will be just fine. Look at this sick photo of all family (including husband) at funeral with her coffin behind them. Every single person there is laughing like it was happy function and not one too young life lost too fast…
Amy & Jamie, wow, wait, how you both have possibly misinterpreted Jesse's comment, as sick & negative in your own heads is quite unrealistically baffling. What is actually brutal & unfair is, that all these cancers & so-called diseases, which are intentionally engineered & evily being inflicted on many. Yet let's not get that confused, as those evil causes are NOT done, by the hand's of my God in Heaven, which is now where sweet Maddy rests.❤ Sooo..whom does that leave in your mind's, as the legit culprits, that are literally being brutal, unfair & are literally causing, these evil types of harms, on so many of our loved one's, both young & old. Don't bother answering... point made.
Sitting here crying quietly. My husband has been fighting Stage 4 esophageal cancer for the last 4 almost 5 years. Your video has me here with tears streaming down my face. What a beautiful woman. May these memories bring you peace.
@@francinelatorraca8885please no it’s not I finally broke down reading this comment. My dad died when I was 11 of aggressive stage 4 esophageal cancer and it only took three months after his diagnosis for him to pass away. I hope things get better
I have cry with this video at the same time hugging my baby, no mom should gone leaving her little kid and children’s should never seen their mom passes before they grow up, is even more sad when is a loving and caring mom , may she rest in peace 😢
This video randomly came across my feed and I watched every second. Your wife was and is so stunning, perhaps the most beautiful person I have ever seen. The love she had for her loved ones was so obvious and present, I can’t imagine the void you are all feeling now. She was courageous in her fight, but so are you, Chandler. And I know you’re STILL fighting with the loss of the love of your life. I can’t make it better, but I will be praying for your healing and the healing of everyone she touched with her exuberant presence. “I’m sorry” really just doesn’t cut it, does it? I know you will continue to be an amazing dad to Wren and Andi and keep Maddy’s legacy alive. I just hope you have a strong support system. Sending all my love to all of you ❤❤❤
I have breast cancer. Cancer is a very tough road. I admire Maddy’s spirit. I am so sorry you’ve lost her. I hope you will find some comfort in that other cancer patients like myself are inspired by and learning from her journey. Thank you for posting this. I pray you and your children are healing.
@@bronwyncookson9309 Bronwyn, your kindness touched me deeply. Thank you so much for your kindness and well wishes. I am doing okay but my heart breaks for Maddy’s family. Bless you and be well friend. TY!
It is amazing how to an outsider you would never know how ill she was by how full of life, smiley, and healthy she looked when she first found out it was back. Cancer is the worst. I teared up watching this.
Burst in tears at 21:36. It's been 40 years that i remember myself to have cried. Sometimes i wonder, are we so lucky to cross roads with people like Maddy and see them go or are we so lucky that we lived ordinary lives with ordinary people who made absolutely no impact in our life, not shedding a tear when they were gone rather than feel such pain as this....I really don't know. My deepest condolences.
I’ve buried a friend today who battled cancer leaving her 2 kids and husband. Thinking of you and your little family and sending love from New Zealand ❤
Seeing that little boy with his thumbs up in front of her final resting place shows that her fight and her perseverance will carry right on through to those beautiful kids. I lost my mother 10 years ago and this video brought back a familiar ache that I had hoped to have forgotten. I send all of my love to everyone featured here. What a strong and inspiring family.
I am a sobbing mess. What a beautiful and inspiring woman, and family. May she rest in eternal peace. She will be watching over you and your beautiful children, always. I am so sorry for your loss. 🤍 🕊️
I feel absolutely terrible for the dad and their beautiful children. No family should have to be ruined for any reason. Especially not because of cancer. May her soul rest in peace 💖🕊
@Cashhhhew He might be married to Jessica, but Jessica can never replace Maddy! He might do videos with Jessica one day, just like he did with Maddy, but those videos won’t be the same!
@@PlanetGuy901não sei que necessidade é essa de casar de novo. Sexo? Por que se for pra fazer as tarefas de casa, tem empregada. Eu teria vergonha de expor um novo relacionamento tão cedo. Homens, homens...
The last 5 minutes absolutely broke my heart and made me start crying. Even though I don't know her, it looked like she was so joyful and grateful for every single day on this earth. I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. May she rest in peace, knowing how excellent of a human being she was. ❤
You can tell the type of person Maddy was through this video. The love and strength through your journey. Your memories will keep her alive. I'm glad your kids have all these videos.
I’ve been sitting here sobbing for the past 25 minutes after seeing this video. I love how she gets to spend her last years with the people she loves most, she’s such a beautiful, and kind women and she will always be in our prayers 🌹 🕊️
Yes she does! She was a beautiful lady inside and out. It’s sad she can’t be here to raise her precious children, but they will see each other again one day.
Hey chandler this is the most heartfelt sad and happy memorial I have ever seen I’m so sorry for your loss she will be waiting at the heavenly gates for you just remember its only for a short time then you will be together forever god bless you and the children I hope you are all doing well thank you for sharing this video !! 😢❤😊
I don't think I have ever seen anyone get anything so right in my life. I never expected this video to change my perspective on how strong a Dad can be when its needed. Amazing.
I cried the entire time!!! 36 year old man, 2 kids and I understand the importance of cherishing a life - because it all can be taken away from all of us at anytime. I just wish certain people understood this. My wife and I have been separated for 2 years. I haven't given up, but she has... Your story hit home, because I miss what family means to most people. Now I mourn each day I'm alone. Felt your pain, but thanks for sharing someone else's smile with us; I'm sorry for your loss!
I am praying for you and your family!! I hope that your xwife will see the value of your heart and welcome you back into her open arms!!! Sometimes dreams do come true!!! And God blesses us with wonderful miracles!!!!! I pray that you receive God's blessings!!!!!
😭😭😭 I Am diagnosed of ovarian cancer last February 2024 and now I’m on my second chemotherapy, I feel so sorry to Maddy 2 beautiful kids and to her loving and caring husband may God bless this family and God will guide this kids until they grow up.
We lost my wife’s father yesterday to his 3rd cancer fight. Not sure why the TH-cam algorithm brought me here, but they got it right. After a near death experience in my childhood, my father said “you fight. You always fight. God wants you to fight.” I can tell Maddy fought. My prayers go out to the fighters and families.
As someone who lost her father to cancer at an age of 7 years old, I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing your children to be part of the journey and thank you for allowing them to say goodbye properly. It's something I never got and I know my mother did it to protect me as a child, but it's something I have to battle with now and have been for 20 years. I also have a plea for you: Please talk with your children about her a lot. Talk about all those great memories you all had together, so they will never forget them. Please don't keep quiet. It can be so hard, when you forget more and more, because noone speaks about the good moments anymore and then suddenly you can't seem to remember much anymore. Keep her in your memories and hearts. I wish you and your family a lot of strength.
I lost my mom when she was 52, I was 24, so not nearly as young, but I really relate to this. The hardest part has been not having anyone to remember her with me. My husband and children never knew her. My parents were divorced and my dad had just blocked her from his mind like she never existed. All that’s left is what I have in my mind, her art, and photos of her. Even though it can be hard, having someone to help us remember the ones we have lost really does make a huge difference.
@@Mrstriplejranch yes sorry you had to go through that even though you can’t find someone else to remember her with maybe someday you’ll find someone who can relate and you two can go on and on about memories with your loved ones.
It’s official. This grandma wants to be like maddy when I grow up! The grace and joy she emanated in the face of adversity lifts me tremendously. Well done Chandler.
I am so sorry for your loss. I really understand the loss is great. I was led to these videos by someone greater than myself. I have been doing ct scans and blood work because I have a large mass in my pelvic area. I am so afraid because my Dr said I have to have a biopsy plus the large mass removed. Im scared it’s cancer and I’ll have this battle. I pray for you all and everyone going through this. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
I'm sorry for your family's loss Maddie memories are priceless she handled her disease like a warrior keeping everyone around her happy and positive even after second diagnosis kept her composure....It's wonderful to see you and family and friends celebrating her life especially the last year...To see Maddie so young and full of life succumb to colorectal cancer is heartbreaking... Hopefully the medical world wakes up and starts realizing cancer can hit at any age than maybe more people can be saved...RIP Maddie condolences to you, family and friends
As a man I have no words to express what I feel for this young man who lost his wife. What at an incredible human and how he loved his wife was wonderful. 💙
Man, I had no idea who you even were before this, but I am so sorry for your loss. This has made me realize I should cherish my wife and my family even more. I don’t want to have any regrets. God bless you, your kids, and all of your family.
She was my age when she passed away. I’m glad her children get to have these wonderful memories of a mother who loved them so much. May her memory be for a blessing.
I’m 21 and my mom just passed away from a chronic illness a few months ago at 52, it’s really hard right now but I can’t image losing my mom at such a young age like your children did. It’s only been a few months and it’s still hard but I know she’s always with me, just like Maddy will always be with you 💕
This woman radiates energy through a screen and her smile is so bright. May she rest in the peace she deserves, and may her children grow to understand how loved they were by an amazing mom❤️
She still had that beautiful smile going through all that, I lost my grandad to pancreatic cancer it's horrible but she's still smiling I'm heaven..🤍🤍🤍😇
@@carolschober8028was she pregnant? I actually thought that was a tumour / related to the abdominal cancer, I can’t imagine her oncologist recommended she get pregnant while going through chemo and other cancer treatments.
Im crying. Not for her, necessarily, because she lived a full and beautiful life and was clearly happy and is waiting for her family to one day join her in paradise. I cry for those left behind. I cry for those children missing their mother. I cry at the notion of my own child losing me, and im not half the energetic, joyful mother she clearly was.
9:01 Watching her dance in the given situation is the saddest but so joyfull feeling I have felt in so long. I am sorry for your loss, she looked to be a special soul. Happy you hav these videos to share with your children.

I hate cancer so much
Same it’s the worst😢
I think everyone hates it 😭😭😭
It’s a horrible thing ppl unfortunately have to go through when no body deserves that kind of pain in life
It's no use hating it..put that energy into knowing the Lord of the heavens..the One who made everything & holds everything together..the Lord Jesus Christ who is appearing soon for His true followers..His Bride!
@@PlanetLiala..the greatest is to use it as a time to search for & know God..'call upon the name of the Lord & you will be saved'. Eternity is what we all are facing..do we know the God of Eternity?
As I write this, I’m battling aggressive cancer too. “Not today” that’s my mantra too. I will use Maddy as my inspiration to keep fighting and live every day with love and positivity and gratefulness. Her light and strength is eternal ❤
Prayers and the best thoughts and wishes are with you. 🙏♥️
May Jesus give you a miracle in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen.

I went to high school with her. She was a big ball of energy that lit up the room. Always kind and made people smile
I am literally bawling my eyes out. I asked God how such a beautiful angel on earth can be taken away from those that she loves, and that love her back? Her strength is remarkable. Her smile is imprinted on my heart. This beautiful girl endured so much while striving to stay alive for her family. May she rest in peace.

You have a memory to share with all- to a time when Maddy was younger. Even though most here have/had never met her…another piece to the puzzle was just added on to it. Thank you for that.

@@cartermember21 your so right x
Same……
@@cartermember21Didyou read the tribute to her in the videos description? It was so beautiful and you really got to know all the things she did in her life. I have no idea how she fit everything she did into the 26 years she was here. But reading that and watching the video showed what a special soul she was. You could do easily tell she was one of those truly good to their core people. The kind of person you don't meet very often because she somehow managed to hold on to innocence and not let life dampen her view of the world. It's so unfair she is not here anymore. She was one of those people who could of made the world a better place. I hope the over 6.6 million people who have watched this now carry some of the innocence she had, because in her memory we should all try a little harder to be like Maddy.
So utterly unfair that she had to go. She was an epitome of positivity and loved life fully. RIP Maddy.
So heartbreaking, i will never understand why God takes a wonderful wife and mom from this world and leaves me here when nobody really needs me😢
@@tamitribbiani7907It’s important to distinguish that god had no hand in taking this poor woman’s life. hopefully, though, she is now in his hands as she rests in peace
God seems to take the spirited and beautiful ones. He took my daughter when she had just turned 20, 12 yrs ago. She lit it all up just like this beautiful lady did. God bless her family!
She was so confident that she could beat it again.
@@tamitribbiani7907well obviously your prayers to your god didn't work, did it?
I can’t believe the amount of young people getting cancer.
I honestly believe is because of the food. Sugar and carbs active our cancer cells and now a days, those two food are everywhere.
5G. Preservatives in foods. Think about it. Grandparents ate meat and potato’s. Not even close to the amount of crap fast food and processed boxed foods.
@@amyg.5376nah. You dunno shit.
lo
Vax lol more like micro plastics in everything
Colon cancer took my father's life. When he passed away, I decided I wasn't going to be sad, I decided I would be grateful for the time we had. I firmly believe we will meet again. When the time comes, I will ask him if he is proud of me. I am so proud of him and the work he did to make me the man I am.
As a mom of three kids, I cannot imagine how hard it was for Maddie to say Goodbye to her little kids and her family. Chandler, so sorry for your loss. May God bless you, the kids, and your family.
I can't even imagine losing my own mom, I respect you ma'am! :)
💔
I'm about to cry at your message and your video
The video
You can literally see her name in the title and still manage to spell it wrong.
Can't believe I'm here crying for stupid reasons while there are people my age out there dying due to horrible and unstoppable diseases. Maybe this video randomly popping on my feed was the sign that I should stop worrying/having anxiety for almost everything and start living.
as well cry to feel better,,enjoy to every small piece of life,no big piece,this is it
I’m feeling the same. Here I am over here feeling bummed out over something stupid, and then this video pops up. I can’t believe someone so young went through so much with a smile on her face no less. No one in their mind 20s just starting their life should be diagnosed with end stage cancer. Maddie has inspired me to live in the now, and stop caring about the past and future.
Me too i have severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I wish i could trade my lifetime to someone who needs it more than me.
When you start being grateful for all the "small" things in life that's when you start living. You don't need a massive holiday to be happy. You don't need a designer item. It's a lie that we are being fed. Just because grateful for things like health...freedom...food..family....we have so much more than we realise ❤

Hello from Canada. I am watching this for the first time. I am in tears. I sit and again wonder why I survived Stage 4 metastatic cancer. I had cancer twice. I really did not have much hope . There was no one who survived the type of cancer I had. I am still the leader 5 yrs later . My oncologist keeps saying I am special. I look at Maddy so happy a mom and wife. Everything I am not. So with this, I shall keep Maddy in my mind when my depression knocks me down. I fought and beat cancer, but I can not win depression. I will replay this video to remind me that life is a gift. God Bless
Man, great job for beating stage 4 cancer twice! Man, I hope your depression gets better, just remember that God loves you!
@@chubbsdapengi2055 Same to you.. Thank You

as a fourteen year old girl watching this for the first time i wanted to let you know how incredibly sorry i am for your family. I know that thi swas a while back but no one should have to go through this. Maddy was a beautiful warrior and she truly deserved the best in life. I hope your family is doing okay now. Your children will be so proud to know that she was their mum. Rest in peace beautiful angel xx

This woman deserves a movie. This showed up at the top of my recommended videos. Idk why. And I don’t know why I felt compelled to click on this 20 minute long video about some random woman I’ve never met. But I did. I spent just over 20 minutes getting to know this woman, getting to watch her hold onto so much positivity when all the odds were stacked against her, something that I, myself am painstakingly terrified of. She also seems so incredibly lucky that she has such a supportive family and the ability to afford what looked like just about the best last year you can have. By the end of this video, I now feel like I know her myself. I won’t lie, it made me tear up.
Maddy sounds like a wonderful, amazing wife, mother and everything else. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
I’ve been sitting on my bed bawling and never realized it’s been 20 minutes. I agree with you, it needs to be a movie.
It popped on my page too also I 100% agree with you
Unfortunately she won't because she's no celebrity or a stupid politician
It's popping up on the recommended of everyone randomly
I’ve had the same feeling, and so I came!
I’m watching this and thinking “she was a beautiful person inside out.” I’m sure she’s watching over you three from above and is filled with joy knowing how loved she was.
U almost bursted to tears I couldn’t hold back
As a medical doctor who has been around patients that died, even young ones, and is expected to be desensitised to the realities of life, and also as someone who is not even a crier, I was sobbing by the end of this beautiful montage celebrating your wife and your life together.
Maddy was obviously a remarkable, beautiful and incredible mother, wife and human being. Any of us, never having even met her, can recognise that. My heart breaks for you, Chandler, and your kids. But you have also displayed an extraordinary amount of courage in the malevolent face of cancer as you held your wife’s hand through this and so, I have no doubt that you will not only dust yourself off and show up for your children but rebuild a beautiful life for them where all of you will thrive, just like Maddy would’ve wanted.
Rest in paradise to your dear sweet wife
😢wow almost 6 million views in the past 6 months!
How can you even be desensitised to things like this? The day you're desensitised, you need to go do something else....
@@87JuliR As doctors, we are more desensitised than the average person who doesn't find themselves surrounded by the dying everyday. Desensitised absolutely does not equate to apathy, a lack of empathy or becoming blase though and that is where YOU are wrong. It speaks of the 'shock' of something like human passing being dulled simply due to sheer experience. The first patient death I saw made me bawl in the duty room, my first few autopsies attended (of people younger than me) put me into a desolate and disillusioned place for weeks. Hell, being in the PICU and seeing 5 year olds arrest made me question my faith in God. While the sadness prevails each time I encounter such a case, the intensity and shock is not all encompassing and devastating as the first or second or third time and is instead replaced by quiet acceptance. It is also the only way in which most care providers can deal with the trauma of watching the precarious balance between life and death everyday and continue functioning. I weave poems and prose from patient encounters that moved me and the wonders and pitfalls of medicine, the body, the human condition. Very far from callous. I wouldn't expect you to understand what I'm talking about unless you work in healthcare so you're forgiven for your sanctimonious and ignorant comment.
@@thanishasanthosh2204 he meant the universal "you" not you in particular. Though responding to your post he was wondering out loud how could anyone be desentizised. I am an ER trauma doc and know how to read people.

My mom is currently on her last days from her battle of stage 4 colon cancer that mastisized to her perineal lining (her abdomen) as an aggressive cancer as well. I feel that this video randomly showed up on my suggested videos for a reason. No one should ever have to go through what they have. And it’s devastating to watch as their loved ones. My mom was just as positive and determined as Maddy is. My mom just celebrated her 50th birthday a month ago. I believe I came across this video to show that I’m not alone in this experience. Maddy looked like she had a beautiful life that should never been short lived. Thank you for sharing your experience as it helps those like me not feel isolated in such a devastating journey. Fuck cancer.

Good for him! I know of a couple once where the wife died of cancer. She had a really good friend who helped her husband care for her during her dying. She sensed that the two of them would be good for each other after she was gone. At one point when she was still alive, she held both of their hands, and then clasped them together, as if giving her blessing to their future union. After she died, that’s exactly what happened! They got married. It just happens that way for some folks. Nothing wrong with it at all.
She was absolutely beautiful inside & out. Pure Joy, Agape love, & a ray of sunshine. God continue to cover her husband, two children, extended family, & friends. This is heartbreaking. I’m an oncology NP & have held my patients & their families hands so many times during this journey. I never took for granted the sounds in the hallway when the bell was rung symbolizing completion of treatment & preparation for the next journey which we call, survivorship. People ask all the time why and how do you take care of cancer patients. My response is always the same, I’m not taken care of cancer patients, I care for people who happen to have cancer. None of them want this… they are strong people who have families, purpose in life. I’ve learned so much from my patients. Live Life to the fullest, everyday is a NEW day, live a life of gratitude. My heart breaks when moments like this happen.
She lived more in 27yrs then most people do in 90yrs. Thanks for sharing... I needed a reality check of the precious moments we take for granted.
My deepest condolences to you, sir. May God bless you and your children!

I get so angry when I see such young beautiful people inside and out die of cancer. Especially when they live a healthy lifestyle and do all the right things plus they are living their lives to their fullest. But then you see people that live into the 90’s who just waste their life with drugs and they are terrible people. They smoke cigarettes, eat whatever they want and never exercise a day in their lives. I’m not much of a religious person but I really hope that there is a good reason for it.

@planethoth1238 Ok, so you think she’s just a young person who died? Kids in Africa are dying every minute of every day because of hunger, and some people care! But Maddy? She died of Stage 4 colon cancer and millions of people care! Maddy is not just some casual woman who came and went! She is a kind-hearted mom and wife that Chandler and his kids needed! It ain’t cool to say “Get over it, they’re just a person/animal!” To someone who lost a person/pet they loved! Maddy is more than a simple human!
It was no accident that I watched this. Though I am in tears over strangers, I cannot tell you how much I just learned from the courageous and beautiful soul Maddy seemed to be. I am about her age, I just turned 27, and I am a mother of a one year old. I can't imagine what it took for her to have to say goodbye to her family and to do her best to keep a positive outlook.

Am sorry for your loss
I'm at a loss for words as this video was recommended at random. My heart breaks for you and your children. I admire her positive attitude and I commend you for editing this together. Prayers to you and your family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
Me too, I have the feeling I'm not going to make it through this one without crying 😔
My heart breaks watching this video🥲Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
As a grieving mother of two beautiful children myself 19 😇😭💔 8 😇😭💔 Omg so so sad 😭💔 R.I.P Maddie 😇😭 Condolences to Your Beautiful Kids,Family and friends xox
Don't worry, he's already engaged to be married, not even after 6 months of his wife's death...
@@mysticjc 😬😬
I don’t even know what to say. What a BEAUTIFUL tribute to an amazing mother and human being.❤
Man lost his soul mate. I hope the family is doing ok she was definitely a fighter and a motivation to others. Thanks for sharing her with us.
He’s already remarried!!
@@I-AgreeWithYouReally?
He's already remarried, absolutely crazy...
@@I-AgreeWithYou daaaamn
I've been here before. Nothing worse than watching your spouse go through this. You feel numb. My wife passed away in 2020 from esophageal cancer leaving me and three young kids behind and our youngest child was just six months old. I'm definitely praying for you. I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I imagine that what you are going through is really difficult, but I would like to talk to you about someone very special. God gives us free will to choose to live our life our way or choose to live it with Him and for Him. That is why I advise you to repent of your sins and give your life to God. Jehovah is a triune God because he is the Holy Spirit, Jesus (son) and Father; and Jesus died on the cross for our sins because we cannot be saved and we were condemned to hell because we are all undeserving of the kingdom of heaven and the grace of God. (Romans 3:23)(Romans 3:10-12). But God, in his mercy, sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and later be resurrected. JESUS IS GOD and everyone who repents of their sins, believes in their hearts that Jesus died for our sins and confesses him as their lord and savior, will be saved. Romans 10:9-10. Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, english isn’t my native language so I had to use translator. ❤
And I'm so sorry for yours ✝️=💜 😢
Sorry for your loss ❤ Nobody should go through that.
Ehh... Prayers for you as well
Cancer sucks. Lost my husband to it in 2019. He was 53. Grieving comes in waves.
Rest in peace
Time doesn't last spend as much as time as you can together cause you'll regrrtbit
Life is so unfair! 😢 I lost my momma when she was 47 from the same cancer. Momma only had a few months in remission before it was back & it no longer responded to treatment. I am praying for y'all. I'm glad you have so much video footage for the kiddos. 😢
The way her mood didn't change even after finding out the cancer was back again 😭 She was just living life for herself and your family, truly amazing! ❤ So sorry for your loss Chan! 💔
Such a beautiful person.Full of heart for her family. Such sad news for 2nd time,but still enjoying her life and family.What a beautiful person you are .And pretty too..
I have no words, sorry, so sorry. 😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤ it's just not fair. Keep smiling for the kids, you're a beautiful family. You don't deserve this. She was so beautiful.
Dearest Chandler. I have just cried my way through this video. My heart breaks for you, as I know what you went through. I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago, and shared all the experiences you and your beautiful Maddy went through. You have 2 gorgeous children who need their Dad now, more than ever. Cherish the memories you had together, and stay strong. Sending you and your family love, from Cornwall in the UK 😢💔
I'm so sorry
So sorry for the loss of your wife🙏❤️
@@DefiantAngel87 Thank you.
@@Onetxdavid Thank you.
I hope you are able to enjoy the beautiful memories you had with your precious wife.
Who else cried while watching this R.I.P we miss you❤️🕊️
I started tearing up. This is so sad RIP to Maddy
It hit me hard started 😭😭 crying....when the casket came up...and her two babies omg she seem so happy...such a lovely family
R.I.P Maddy 😭😭
Ce qui est choquant c'est la joie et les rires du mari devant le cercueil de sa femme. Ce mec est dégoûtant, ça présageait bien que 3 mois à peine après sa mort il s'est déjà remarié !!!
Only when you have walked in another person's shoes can you understand what's happened. And you obviously have not. He gave her his everything to her and once she was gone he owed her nothing more, other to do his best to raise their children and live a good life. @@rozelleb3615
maddy seems like she was an amazing kind caring woman and a great mother. I'm glad she lived her life despite her diagnosis. i am sorry for your loss.
I love that at her funeral you all didn't wear black. Cancer is cruel and when a loved one has it, life gets rough. Maddie is such an inspiration and never gave up and let her cancer get in the way. I know in my heart that she was an amazing woman, mother, wife, daughter, and friend to all. I know she is looking down at you and your children and the rest of your family. Rest in peace Madalyn Rae Welsh Smith. 🙏❤
Now I know what they mean by a smile that lights up a room. What an incredibly brave woman. She did not allow cancer to take away her happiness or her light and even in the end she faced death with a smile on her face. She is truly a hero. My condolences to you, your children and your entire family for losing this angel.
I am so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful woman Maddy was, inside and out, she brought two beautiful little kids into this world, fought cancer like a true warrior & has a husband and family that clearly love her very much!!! This was an amazing tribute to an amazing woman/wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend. Well done, she will live on in your hearts forever.. Rest In Peace Maddy.

As a 12 year old almost 13, I just watched this video and I am so sorry for your loss I know this was very long ago , but I want you to know that she was amazing to you, your kids, yours and her family, She spent her last moments amazing.❤❤😢😢❤❤😢😢❤❤😢as I am typing this message, I just want to say I wish she could stay with us a little longer to see her kids grow up🥹😔😢WE WILL LOVE HER ALWAYS AND FOREVER❤❤❤
I was moved to tears. This is an incredible tribute to her and her legacy. I’m unbelievably sorry for yours and your kids’ loss.
This is so brutal and unfair. As a dad of two small kids (about the same age as yours), I cannot imagine what you all are going through. Incredible tribute to her.
He will be just fine. Look at this sick photo of all family (including husband) at funeral with her coffin behind them. Every single person there is laughing like it was happy function and not one too young life lost too fast…
I don’t even know what to say to your comment except, Wow! What’s wrong with you? Your user name is fitting!
She was so young, and those kids are so small. Rest in peace.
She died but your sick…
Amy & Jamie, wow, wait, how you both have possibly misinterpreted Jesse's comment, as sick & negative in your own heads is quite unrealistically baffling.
What is actually brutal & unfair is, that all these cancers & so-called diseases, which are intentionally engineered & evily being inflicted on many.
Yet let's not get that confused, as those evil causes are NOT done, by the hand's of my God in Heaven, which is now where sweet Maddy rests.❤
Sooo..whom does that leave in your mind's, as the legit culprits, that are literally being brutal, unfair & are literally causing, these evil types of harms, on so many of our loved one's, both young & old.
Don't bother answering... point made.
Sitting here crying quietly. My husband has been fighting Stage 4 esophageal cancer for the last 4 almost 5 years. Your video has me here with tears streaming down my face. What a beautiful woman. May these memories bring you peace.
Easiest cancer to beat. Wishing your husband the best
❣🙏
😢 I know the pain, lost my husband nearly 5 months ago, oesophageal cancer😢. God’s blessings over you and your lovely family 🙌🏼.
@@francinelatorraca8885please no it’s not I finally broke down reading this comment. My dad died when I was 11 of aggressive stage 4 esophageal cancer and it only took three months after his diagnosis for him to pass away. I hope things get better
@francinelatorraca8885
I’d love to know your sources, as this is the opposite to all I’ve ever read.
I have cry with this video at the same time hugging my baby, no mom should gone leaving her little kid and children’s should never seen their mom passes before they grow up, is even more sad when is a loving and caring mom , may she rest in peace 😢
This video randomly came across my feed and I watched every second. Your wife was and is so stunning, perhaps the most beautiful person I have ever seen. The love she had for her loved ones was so obvious and present, I can’t imagine the void you are all feeling now. She was courageous in her fight, but so are you, Chandler. And I know you’re STILL fighting with the loss of the love of your life. I can’t make it better, but I will be praying for your healing and the healing of everyone she touched with her exuberant presence. “I’m sorry” really just doesn’t cut it, does it? I know you will continue to be an amazing dad to Wren and Andi and keep Maddy’s legacy alive. I just hope you have a strong support system. Sending all my love to all of you ❤❤❤
This also came across my feed and I too watched every single second and cried.
He's already engaged to another woman, according to his Instagram account.

I have breast cancer. Cancer is a very tough road. I admire Maddy’s spirit. I am so sorry you’ve lost her. I hope you will find some comfort in that other cancer patients like myself are inspired by and learning from her journey. Thank you for posting this. I pray you and your children are healing.

@@yesno-tm7tu Thank you so much for your kindness. I am very grateful. Wishing you and yours well.
It is amazing how to an outsider you would never know how ill she was by how full of life, smiley, and healthy she looked when she first found out it was back. Cancer is the worst. I teared up watching this.
Burst in tears at 21:36. It's been 40 years that i remember myself to have cried. Sometimes i wonder, are we so lucky to cross roads with people like Maddy and see them go or are we so lucky that we lived ordinary lives with ordinary people who made absolutely no impact in our life, not shedding a tear when they were gone rather than feel such pain as this....I really don't know. My deepest condolences.
I’ve buried a friend today who battled cancer leaving her 2 kids and husband. Thinking of you and your little family and sending love from New Zealand ❤
Thinking of you as well I’m sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so very sorry
That must be horrible..
I am so sorry for your loss 😞🌈
Seeing that little boy with his thumbs up in front of her final resting place shows that her fight and her perseverance will carry right on through to those beautiful kids. I lost my mother 10 years ago and this video brought back a familiar ache that I had hoped to have forgotten. I send all of my love to everyone featured here. What a strong and inspiring family.
She lived more in her short life than some people live in a whole life. What a beautiful smile. Rest with the Angels Maddie xx
I am a sobbing mess. What a beautiful and inspiring woman, and family. May she rest in eternal peace. She will be watching over you and your beautiful children, always. I am so sorry for your loss. 🤍 🕊️
I feel absolutely terrible for the dad and their beautiful children. No family should have to be ruined for any reason. Especially not because of cancer. May her soul rest in peace 💖🕊
He replaced her in five months lol
@@Cashhhhewnot funny
@Cashhhhew He might be married to Jessica, but Jessica can never replace Maddy! He might do videos with Jessica one day, just like he did with Maddy, but those videos won’t be the same!
@@PlanetGuy901não sei que necessidade é essa de casar de novo. Sexo? Por que se for pra fazer as tarefas de casa, tem empregada. Eu teria vergonha de expor um novo relacionamento tão cedo. Homens, homens...
The last 5 minutes absolutely broke my heart and made me start crying. Even though I don't know her, it looked like she was so joyful and grateful for every single day on this earth. I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. May she rest in peace, knowing how excellent of a human being she was. ❤
Me too 😿
Me too🥲❤
Such a beautiful comment 🫶
I cried too 😪
I'm gutted... Man life can be so cruel .. God bless you and the kids.
You can tell the type of person Maddy was through this video. The love and strength through your journey. Your memories will keep her alive. I'm glad your kids have all these videos.
What an amazing smile. You can tell she brought joy to people.
I’ve been sitting here sobbing for the past 25 minutes after seeing this video. I love how she gets to spend her last years with the people she loves most, she’s such a beautiful, and kind women and she will always be in our prayers 🌹 🕊️
I just needed to come back and watch this video again, I also love that they are happy at their funeral. It’s what she would have wanted.
Me too crying 🥹 what a beautiful angel Maddy ❤️❤️
What a short but beautiful life well lived. I pray peace and comfort to all. 💖🙏
In this 21 min video you can’t help but to feel you knew Maddy. What a beautiful soul. So sorry for your loss Chandler, may Maddy forever RIP. 🙏🙏
And we feel the pain and heartache.
Oh my God - She has the most beautiful smile. RIP Sweet Maddy 😢
Yes she does! She was a beautiful lady inside and out. It’s sad she can’t be here to raise her precious children, but they will see each other again one day.
Hey chandler this is the most heartfelt sad and happy memorial I have ever seen I’m so sorry for your loss she will be waiting at the heavenly gates for you just remember its only for a short time then you will be together forever god bless you and the children I hope you are all doing well thank you for sharing this video !! 😢❤😊
I don't think I have ever seen anyone get anything so right in my life. I never expected this video to change my perspective on how strong a Dad can be when its needed. Amazing.
I cried the entire time!!! 36 year old man, 2 kids and I understand the importance of cherishing a life - because it all can be taken away from all of us at anytime. I just wish certain people understood this. My wife and I have been separated for 2 years. I haven't given up, but she has... Your story hit home, because I miss what family means to most people. Now I mourn each day I'm alone. Felt your pain, but thanks for sharing someone else's smile with us; I'm sorry for your loss!
Sending you love
Light n blessings
Un abbraccio di cuore
I am praying for you and your family!! I hope that your xwife will see the value of your heart and welcome you back into her open arms!!! Sometimes dreams do come true!!! And God blesses us with wonderful miracles!!!!! I pray that you receive God's blessings!!!!!

😭😭😭 I Am diagnosed of ovarian cancer last February 2024 and now I’m on my second chemotherapy, I feel so sorry to Maddy 2 beautiful kids and to her loving and caring husband may God bless this family and God will guide this kids until they grow up.
I hope things improve for you and you get to live a long life, all the best
Thank you, and God bless you and the family.
Bless you, saying a prayer for your recovery. Stay strong.🥰
@reneebk1999 thank you so much God bless you too and be safe 🙏
I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer too in February 2024 and just finished my 3rd chemo. We are healing now. We are winning. We are victorious ✨✨✨
What a wonderful mother and wife 😭
We lost my wife’s father yesterday to his 3rd cancer fight. Not sure why the TH-cam algorithm brought me here, but they got it right. After a near death experience in my childhood, my father said “you fight. You always fight. God wants you to fight.” I can tell Maddy fought. My prayers go out to the fighters and families.
As someone who lost her father to cancer at an age of 7 years old, I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing your children to be part of the journey and thank you for allowing them to say goodbye properly. It's something I never got and I know my mother did it to protect me as a child, but it's something I have to battle with now and have been for 20 years. I also have a plea for you: Please talk with your children about her a lot. Talk about all those great memories you all had together, so they will never forget them. Please don't keep quiet. It can be so hard, when you forget more and more, because noone speaks about the good moments anymore and then suddenly you can't seem to remember much anymore. Keep her in your memories and hearts. I wish you and your family a lot of strength.
So sorry for your loss I know that can be tough I still have both my parents but I know how hard it must be sending prayers.
I lost my mom when she was 52, I was 24, so not nearly as young, but I really relate to this. The hardest part has been not having anyone to remember her with me. My husband and children never knew her. My parents were divorced and my dad had just blocked her from his mind like she never existed. All that’s left is what I have in my mind, her art, and photos of her. Even though it can be hard, having someone to help us remember the ones we have lost really does make a huge difference.
@@Mrstriplejranch yes sorry you had to go through that even though you can’t find someone else to remember her with maybe someday you’ll find someone who can relate and you two can go on and on about memories with your loved ones.
It’s official. This grandma wants to be like maddy when I grow up! The grace and joy she emanated in the face of adversity lifts me tremendously. Well done Chandler.
I am so sorry for your loss. I really understand the loss is great. I was led to these videos by someone greater than myself. I have been doing ct scans and blood work because I have a large mass in my pelvic area. I am so afraid because my Dr said I have to have a biopsy plus the large mass removed. Im scared it’s cancer and I’ll have this battle. I pray for you all and everyone going through this. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
I'm sorry for your family's loss Maddie memories are priceless she handled her disease like a warrior keeping everyone around her happy and positive even after second diagnosis kept her composure....It's wonderful to see you and family and friends celebrating her life especially the last year...To see Maddie so young and full of life succumb to colorectal cancer is heartbreaking... Hopefully the medical world wakes up and starts realizing cancer can hit at any age than maybe more people can be saved...RIP Maddie condolences to you, family and friends
So sorry for your loss chandler. Thanks for sharing the memories with us. I’m praying for you and the kids
@@rmilkyswife I pray you’re doing well now 🙏🙏
As a man I have no words to express what I feel for this young man who lost his wife. What at an incredible human and how he loved his wife was wonderful. 💙
Man, I had no idea who you even were before this, but I am so sorry for your loss. This has made me realize I should cherish my wife and my family even more. I don’t want to have any regrets. God bless you, your kids, and all of your family.
She was my age when she passed away. I’m glad her children get to have these wonderful memories of a mother who loved them so much. May her memory be for a blessing.
I'm so sorry for your loss even if I don't know who she is I know she was loved and valued in to your family I wish for her to fly high ❤️🕊️
I’m 21 and my mom just passed away from a chronic illness a few months ago at 52, it’s really hard right now but I can’t image losing my mom at such a young age like your children did. It’s only been a few months and it’s still hard but I know she’s always with me, just like Maddy will always be with you 💕
This woman radiates energy through a screen and her smile is so bright. May she rest in the peace she deserves, and may her children grow to understand how loved they were by an amazing mom❤️
😢
She still had that beautiful smile going through all that, I lost my grandad to pancreatic cancer it's horrible but she's still smiling I'm heaven..🤍🤍🤍😇
Her beautiful spirit shows so wonderfully in the video. And continues to shine on all of us.
I was holding it together until 19:36. Thank you for sharing Maddy with us. I’m so sorry for your loss. There are no words.
exact same spot for me too
Sorry for the loss of the unborn 3rd child too😔🌹
same i started bawling
@@carolschober8028There was never any.
@@carolschober8028was she pregnant? I actually thought that was a tumour / related to the abdominal cancer, I can’t imagine her oncologist recommended she get pregnant while going through chemo and other cancer treatments.
She wasn't going to be down and sad . She just made her husband's birthday a special day no matter what she felt like ❤️
Im crying. Not for her, necessarily, because she lived a full and beautiful life and was clearly happy and is waiting for her family to one day join her in paradise. I cry for those left behind. I cry for those children missing their mother. I cry at the notion of my own child losing me, and im not half the energetic, joyful mother she clearly was.
9:01 Watching her dance in the given situation is the saddest but so joyfull feeling I have felt in so long. I am sorry for your loss, she looked to be a special soul. Happy you hav these videos to share with your children.
What a beautiful woman.
RIP Maddy
