Luke and Sarah, Molly, Timmy, Peppa, even Wanna-Be-Pig-Daddy Rubert, I cried and cried and cried the whole way through this sad video. Yes Maggie is a pig, albeit the world's most pampered one, but she was sooooooo much more than just another animal to you guys. My heart is aching for you.
You took such good care of her, right up to the end, so I'm sure she knew how much she was loved. I loved her and I loved how you took such great care of her and all of the other animals, throughout all of their time with you.
I will always remember Maggie. Some of your videos with her in it are in my Favourites folder. Whenever I need a big of cheering up, watching Maggie and Peppa and you guys with them always lifts my spirits.
Never feel bad about sharing your tears and talking to the camera for us. Even though we live thousands of miles apart, I know you are my kind of people. Your videos have helped me through some very dark, difficult times. They bring laugher back into my life and remind me when the going is rough that there are still very good people in this world. So, yes, in a non para-social kind of way, I do think of you guys as friends, and as inspiration for more who I want to be as a person.
Thankyou for sharing the devastating news with us in such a meaningful way. I'm glad Maggie's forever home will be under a Hazelnut tree in a beautiful part of your piece of paradise You know she will rest there blissfully happy forever more. As Morrie said to Mitch in Tuesday with Morrie, 'you can still talk to me when I'm dead, I'm just not going to answer you literally, but you will still be able to hear my responses to your questions, talking with me, in your heart. I will always be a part of your life even when I am no longer here' - paraphrasing of course. You can go to that beautiful resting place, talk to Maggie and feel in your heart what she would say back to you.
Thinking of you all. Carolyne Perth, W. Australia
Thank you so much Carolyn what a special message❤️❤️❤️ we can really feel all the love coming from you. Thank you for taking the time to write this because reading these kind words means so much to me . We started this channel to help us stay here and live this life never had we thought that we would help others get through some hard times and this means more to us than you will ever know ❤️❤️
@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife Sarah, that is so sweet. I woke up this morning, saw you had your new video up, so I watched it with my morning coffee. It's a great way to start a Sunday morning (cold here now).
Rupert and his pining for Peppa. He is such a 'special' kind of chicken, isn't he.🤣🤣🤣 No need to mention the word needy around Rupert now that his is king of a very different kind of domain.
I pruned my little lemon tree (Lemonina) and fluffed around with some of my Winter flowering plants (for the bees) on my balcony garden this morning. Seven of this year's garlic have sprouted so far. You would laugh seeing how I make all of this fit in 7m2. No garden envy to see anywhere when I watch you in yours🤣🤣🤣
My is name is Lonneke from Holland,following you for years now.I don’t know more caring loving people who love their animals,and so sad for your loss,she will have a place in all of our hearts.Hugs big hugs
Oh my goodness thank you so very much for your lovely message❤️❤️
Sarah, remember, to let Maggie go when she needed to was the ultimate display of your love for her. You and Luke are beautiful souls, sending you my utmost respect and much love. Karina ❤❤
Thank you so much Karina❤️❤️❤️
@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife @kmm6463 beautifully said Karina. It is the ultimate act of love to allow someone you love very much to go, to die. You did that so beautifully Sarah and Luke.
Sarah and Luke… Sarah, I was so glad that you felt you could show your grief to us. We are friends and are here for you. We meet every week.
We all know that our beloved pets/animals don’t live as long as we do. Yet we still continue to have them in our lives! They make such a difference to our lives! You gave Maggie a great life out in nature …she got laid and had babies, was well fed, got to wander and went on walks with you. Your animals are so well cared for and loved! You have so many good memories of her. You did the right thing by her because you loved her!❤️🫶🏼🙏🏼.
Don’t pay any attention to those nasty comments from opinionated people, tell them to not watch if they can’t say something good! Some people, I think, go through their lives unhappy and like to bring other people down whenever they can. Can’t you block them?
Have a good week. Maybe write her name somewhere on her house (with her birth year and death year) as a memorial to her! We love you all!❤️🙏🏼👋🏻🇨🇦🫶🏼😎
Dear Sarah and Luke, so,sorry for your loss. I really😢 because Maggie was such a big part of your lives. You both did your best to make her feel comfortable. All your animals are part of your family and they are all so blessed to have you both caring and loving them all. Stay strong and carry on doing what you'll do best. S3nding loads of love ❤❤❤
she couldn`t have had a better life anywhere else, RIP out of pain. thank you for such a hard share.
Thank you for being here for us Tessa x x
Sarah, you look after all your animals with so much love and attention, No one interacts with their animals as much as you, it's clear to see you are dedicated to giving them the best life.
Sarah, you went above and beyond with the care for Maggie, so don't be hard on yourself. Sending Love.❤
Thanks so much Sheila ❤️❤️
Very sad … you both gave her Best Loving Life ❤❤
Oh Sarah, Luke. Tears fall for you both, for you all. I am so sorry for your loss and so sad. You gave her a happy and beautiful life filled with love and laughter. Sending Love, sending Light.
Thanks so much Kara ❤️❤️❤️
Know it’s so hard to lose Maggie, you two were the best parents, as was she to her little ones ❤❤❤
Sarah, you need desperately need to write a book about these animals. Each one has their own personality. They are amazing. So sorry sad about Maggie she will be missed terribly. Remember when you would take them with the goats for walks. But I still can't get over Rupert the rooster. He gained his attitude while he was hanging around Maggie. You both have worked and played so hard with them. Hang in there, things should get better.
Thanks so much Cathy and yes you are right Rupert does deserve his own book he is really something. ❤️❤️
Had me in tears 😢 remembering having to have my dog put to sleep
I’m so sorry for your loss… RIP Maggie ❤ Thankyou for sharing her life with us! ❤
Thank you for sharing Maggie. She was so lucky to have so much love.
It's such a sad time, but Maggie brought you so much joy and happiness. May she rest in peace. ❤
Thanks Marlene❤️❤️
Oh Sarah, I am so so sorry!!! I am tearful hearing about Maggie, but you did the right thing to let her go. You always 'know' when it's time to let such a precious family member go and you did it out of love for Maggie. You and Luke gave her the most amazing life she could have had, she was so happy and content and the work you both put into making her and Peppa's lives amazing takes a lot of work and dedication.
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful, loving and funny little girl. She brought us all such happiness. Rest in peace Maggie, we will miss you.😭
❤️❤️
I know this is hard time for you both but remember the fun times with maggie you gave her the best life every now she is out of pain .take time for yourself to reflect on the memories you have made sending you my love and strength xx
Thanks so much Heather❤️❤️
Sarah.I never thought I would cry over a pig. Never doubt that you and luke have given all your animals the best life. God Bless you both.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, Luke and Sarah, my heart breaks for you. I am so very sorry. No piggy, or most any other being, ever had such love and care as you gave Maggie. You gave her a life that she could never have had anywhere else. And there's no doubt she knew just how much she was loved. Her piggy house and hazelnut tree will stand as lovely testaments to her place there in such a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing her with us. There's a poem that I think is special that I will share in tribute to her.
~🥀💞🌳💞🥀~
"When tomorrow starts
without me
don't think we're far apart
For every time
you think of me
I'm right here
inside your heart."
~🌿🕊♥️🕊🌿~
Love and peace and hugs to you both. 🌿♥️
What a beautiful condolence message. ❤
Oh my goodness Meg you got me crying hard again but thank you so much for this lovely message and poem❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your devastating loss. She had one of the best life on earth that a piggy could have.
Sarah and Luke, I am so sorry for your loss. Maggie was such a lovely pig, and yes, I’m sad too. You took such care of her and I think she knew it too. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss, Sarah and Luke. 😢 I’m so glad for the incredible and happy life you provided Maggie, every one of her days. Y’all built her the nicest pig mansion to spend her last weeks in beauty and as much comfort as possible. The amount of time you spent with her in her difficult days as well as all her many good days of life is legendary. Your tender and thoughtful care was tremendously inspiring and heart warming. Love to you both and all your beautiful animals. ❤ * Good luck to Rupert in his big adjustment. ❤
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Maggie girl was such a special piggy. She had the best parent any piggy could have. She had an amazing life thanks to you both. She will be missed, but never forgotten. Hugs to you both.
Thank you so much Anna❤️❤️❤️

Oh Luke and Sarah, I am gutted to hear this news 😢😢My heart bleeds for you both having to go through this 💔 . You did the absolutely best you could do for Maggie and gave her the best life a pig could have ever had. You have both grown so much for having had her in your lives.

Sending hugs for both of you.

Dearest Sarah and Luke , I went to scatter my mothers ashes today and then hearing the news of Maggie who has given us so many hours of joy with all her little cute antics . Sending you both love.❤️
❤️Thank you Margot ❤️ I am so sorry to hear this , my condolences to you ❤️❤️
Hey Sarah and Luke,
My heart breaks to hear about Maggie. Losing her is tough, especially one as special as her. You guys took such good care of her, from the custom meals to the pampering sessions, backrubs and lots more -I mean, you went above and beyond to ensure Maggie lived a life filled with comfort and happiness.
And taking that call to let her go was the hardest thing you've had to do, but it was also the most compassionate. She's free now, running around pain-free, probably causing mischief wherever she is.
Take care and sending you both lots of love and virtual hugs.
Thank you so much Dirk ❤️❤️❤️
Your connection with all the animals is what makes you so special. They are more than animals they are family. Maggie new love and kindness. She was special and had the best life. She will be missed. RIP Maggie.
Thank you so much Eunice!❤️❤️❤️
She had an amazing life with utmost care and respect.❤
Oh Hun! 😢 so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad I've got to meet her and Peppa😊. She's left great memories.
RIP Maggie ❤
Thank you so much Rita❤️❤️❤️
Oh, so sorry for your loss. Maggie was a sweetheart. You guys have her the best life.
Can't stop crying. Sarah you were so very loving and did everything possible.

Sarah, You gave Maggie the most incredible Life !! I followed her from the very beginning. Maggie will Be missed by us all. RIP Maggie

Such a sad day. So sorry for the loss. You both are such loving people with a beautiful relationship with animals. 💚
