    That whole fiasco with the cows, Stephanie & the bees was hilarious. OMG I laughed so hard. Good thing I was in the house alone, my hubby would have thought I lost my mind.
    Lester, you should never feel bad about getting emotional about losing your home. My God, anyone would. I’d be a total mess it if we’re me. You already lost one home and tons of personal belongings. The thing, to me anyway, that is the hardest to lose are pictures. They are reminders of the past, the kids growing up, people that you love who are no longer here with you, all your animals & pets, fun times spent together, etc. It is devastating to lose those things. So losing the barndominium is like losing a part of yourself, so cry if you feel overwhelmed by it all, there’s no shame in that. All of us, (your social media friends/family), will surely understand.
    I know it takes a very long time to recover from a disaster. So much cleanup, repair & replace has to be done. And I am truly amazed at how much the whole Morrow family has gotten done already. What an awesome family y’all are. Everyone is pitching in to help one another and through it all y’all are keeping a positive outlook and counting your blessings. It is so inspiring to watch it all take place. This, this is why I love the Morrow family and this is why you’re always in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

    It was so appropriate for you to start the video with something funny. But Lester, for the past week, my emotions have been a roller coaster. Just thinking about you and this feeling like a repeat of Harvey, my heart was breaking for you. You having to relive this again. You put out such powerful videos that I know many of us shed tears over. And I'm sure you probably shed a lot of tears too. You just made sure we didn't see them. But we know you too well Lester. And I dreaded you having to go through the barndominium because it holds a lot of memories for you. I'm so glad you have Jami to lean on. The two of you have really been through a lot this year. Just know the two have you have so many people that love and support you. Sending continued prayers, love and hugs. 🙏♥️🤗

    If you didn't get emotional at some point I would have been worried Lester. In the beginning of the clean up you were being lighthearted, trying to make a laugh. Everyone there had that kind of attitude towards what happened. A lot of people noticed and pointed out the positivity. Everyone was go go go. Now that everyone has a jump on the clean up reality is setting in. Everyone has to return to work and still try to get things done. Sometimes the hardest thing we have to do is set things free. This IS that time for you. That place you built into a neat home (your words) isn't the same. Can you restore it? Yes. Do you want to? That's the hard question, or do you "set it free" for LE to decide. Instead of "let it be" Set it free, set it freeeee, set it free yea set it free. speak from words of wisdom, Lester, set it free. Remember we get wisdom from our experiences/mistakes. Build a small fire and cleanse the land.💟

You designed and fought for a home for your boys and you! You fought through the obstacles and lived there! It was a huge victory out of a huge loss!! The barn home is a monument to the Phoenix that is you!!

    OMG! I heard Jami talking about this & it is hilarious!!! I needed this laugh today & so did you! The Sanctuary looks really good for just being flooded & you all have worked hard to clean it up. You are probably so emotional because you've reached a point where you have taken care of things that really needed to be done immediately & it's time for your mind to relieve the pressure....It's like when you hold your breath, & finally let it out. Plus, the barndominium has so many memories & was your home & it's difficult to say goodbye. Take the time to let it all out, cry, or whatever ...then your mind can start all over again. Don't be embarrassed at being emotional, it's part of what makes you so endearing, Lester. Badass one minute & a sort of crying sweetheart the next!

And yes, just like others need help, they will absolutely need your help with not only establishing priorities but in the actual doing. I am so sorry you lost the barndominium. If you ever feel ready it would be really interesting to hear you tell the stories of some of the items from that space. It seems to hold more memories than any other space. Maybe some of those paintings etc can make their way to your big space attached to your apartment? To create a “survivor cave” apace in there would be super cool?

    Hi Lester - I believe you found wonderful words. Words that I was so intent on listening to, I didn’t notice the wind, until you said, “Sorry, for the wind” I didn’t hear the rooster crowing nor Uncle Dan mowing, until your words brought them to my attention. I think I blocked out all, but you and your words. No doubt that you are exhausted Lester, physically, mentally and emotionally. This has been so much to take on! There comes a day, and we all face those days, when even without our knowledge, we’ve hit that wall, our limit can hold no more and our body needs release. It’s simply our way to continue on coping. This indeed will be a lengthy process, that is going to require a lot of work and consume many long hours. I think most looking at what is ahead there around ISS, realize that and those who don’t, aren’t worth the extra time or effort that you don’t have available to worry about. I will be sad to see the Barnduminium go, but I completely understand your thoughts on that. Isn’t it ironic, that the very thing, that has caused this disaster and the enormous disaster of Harvey - In fact, almost taking Ima, the eventual namesake that started this all, is also the exact thing that saved Ima’s life and allowed her bruised and beaten body, during those first initial days, to gain the strength to stand up and start her physical journey to healing - *water*
    Know you are in our hearts and our prayers Lester. Much thanks for this visit...♥️

Whatever you and Jami decide to do with it I know will be what's best for y'all and the animals because y'all always put the babies first! Much love and prayers from AZ

    The well house is a miracle, thank you Lord. Lester be patient with yourself as you see things gone, and destroyed. Just deal with the have too things, that’s enough. Save some of the decisions until latter. You and Jamie give each other lots of hugs. And hug LE a lot. I’m praying God will show you His Will for you in all that you do. Praying for LE and Megan to seek Gods will in all their decisions too. Trust your faith. LE is a wonderful young man, a son to be very proud of. One day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time.

Having to rebuild a barn into your home after losing everything except for three beautiful animals. I am tearing 😢 up just from my memories of watching you since the beginning. ❤❤

    You are all so physically shattered, that now when you slow down and start to sort though personal stuff , that when it hit.
    Jami showed those baby ducklings on one of her videos, and what joy and happiness they bring that those small little darlings survived those waters and currants of water.
    Looking forward to seeing Xander and Kendra this weekend, and hope they give you some ideas 💡 on how to go forward with the electrical equipment. Xxx

  • @chrissybloulam2585

    Lester, just keep it. It's really really special & it means a lot to you. It's not just storage space. Keep photo albums, books, family mementos & paperwork, up high& i Everything else is not that important. Don't give up on the Barndaminium because if you feel this strongly about it, there's a reason for that. It's a place of cherished memories, hard work, hopes, plans & dreams & l think it should stay that way.

  • @milkweed697

    Good to process emotions and your timing is how it needs to be. The barndominium represents to me not only the significant losses you experienced and also the beginning of overcoming the strategies of Harvey. Building a temp home, helping the surviving animals. You have come a long way and glad to see you are continuing to heal. Phew, plastic piggy, scarred me too.

    • @sittathecat
      @sittathecat 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am so glad that you all have each other to hold each other up. I have cried, and laughed, and mourned, and giggled with the Morrow family for years, and normally I don't comment on videos, but this has been a blessing to watch, but heartbreaking to see happen to you all over again. I don't have friends or family to share my life with, but I am so thankful to have you all to share your lives with us. We love you, and we are all so proud of you.
    Edit: After reading a lot of the comments, I am so proud of your little community on the youtubes. But I am absolutely disgusted by how many hateful and negative comments that obviously miserable and self loathing human dumpsters that there are in this world. Is there not enough hate in the world? Is there not enough people tearing other people apart when they need uplifted? It is sickening. Hold your heads up, Morrow family. You've got this.

    Stephanie was so funny and yet she went right back to looking for the queen bee. You needed that laugh, that moment of stress relief. As for the barn house... finish stripping it out of all damage things, sheetrock, insulation, cabinets, ect. Personally I would refinish it, eventually, into some form of animal care area for future rescues or somewhere to store thing you don't use often but need to have. Continued prayers and love for you all. Hugs.

    Rebuild it but last. Get all the "necessary " work done first.
    Strip it out of the water damaged things, let it totally dry out. Then fix the other things that are more important and then relax...You will know when you are ready to rebuild it. But you will regret if you don't rebuild it.
    Start from within, your living quarters and then work out from there.......barns, well house, supply area. Hire some high school kids to help with the cleanup. I will gladly come and help, seriously. I owe you for all you have done for me/us!!!!! Love you guys.

    Dan's grass looks really good! It may seem funny after just being flooded, but having neat looking property probably helps alleviate some of the stress from the distructive flooding. Folks have been holding it together mostly, during the cleanup and it is only normal for a bit of emotion. Of course it. Is going to take awhile to do all that work. All of us who have been around farms or been through mother natures fits, know it will take time. A turtle trap should be put on the pond so the baby ducks stay safe. I know Megan and LE are worried about that. They can be dumped in the creek🐤.
    Blessings 👍💕

    Stephanie was so hilarious,trying to help with the calf. Laughter was needed.
    Emotional day for you but it maybe time to move on from the house Lester built.
    If no ones stays in the barndimium alot ,it probably be more needed as keeping feed in to protect it from the elements, nursery if needed, a treatment room,keeping the horse blankets along with the saddles that are in there. So much space that could be used for the good of the animals needs .
    Things are coming right along with the help of the Morrow Hill gang. Everyone that has worked hours on end should be very proud of the work ethic and accomplishments that have been done in such a short amount of time. ❤

  • @MollysMom19
    @MollysMom19 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Loved seeing mama duck and her babies adjacent the sanctuary front pond. For babies to have survived, does this mean that the turtles have been swept away? That might be a good thing.
    I am hoping that some sunshine will help sterilize toxins in the fence detritus. Hard for me to imagine using enough bleach to deal with all your fences. As you said, so much to do.
    One other question. Did you move the tack/saddles before the flood? Are they OK? thank you for being you. I can see how much it meant to your parents and others when you took
    food to them. You and Jami have been so generous with your time, tractor, etc. And to look after so many animals on two properties -- not many people could do it. The fact that people were able to bring their animals to one area and then to have you and Jami pick them up and transport/unload them, really worked well. People were very relieved about the animals,
    knowing you two would talk good care of them. I love how united the Morrows are in a crisis. Also the focus on GeeGee and PawPaw was smart.
    I could see that both were finding all this overwhelming and they were struggling to cope. Now that they are back in their own setting, everyone should be free to look at their own places. I haven't
    heard PawPaw talk about his finger at all. It must hurt but that pain has disappeared in the enormity of the disaster.
