I really miss you videos sorry about the passing of your mom

@mindbreaker21601 I passed along your message and Mom thanks you for your support and your condolences on Mam'maw passing. I'll eventually get around to doing some more videos, I just got very involved in trying to get a job and finally getting one, which keeps me very busy. I'm sure we'll do something for Thanksgiving this year, and I'll get it up on the channel as soon as I can.

God bless her for caring for her mom. my granny is in a home with alzhemiers.we could not handle her she became violent.she doesnt know us :(

thank you for your kind comment. I can't imagine what life would be like if Mam'maw was violent towards Mom, like some Alzheimer's patients are, but I know Mom would still try to take care of her like she does now. I think Mom feels that Mam'maw took so good care of her for so long that she owes her.

Your mother is a beautiful person! It's nice to see the real people from here. Strong, hardworking, caring, loving, unashamed, beautiful people. Not everybody has such a loving daughter to care for them in their old age. Your family is so much like my family. Keep them coming.

I especially love the part where she says "I am a Christian". I have watched this several times and it just thrills me each time I hear her say it. What a wonderful way to witness to others, just by being herself.
