    Jaci, don't be sorry for anything, ignore people who judge you. We're tens of thousands here to support you. Mark's CZcams channel is a family, and whatever you do or say we're just here to support you and send you positive vibes. I was raised as a catholic but am not as into it as you are, but heck Jaci, I've prayed for Mark and now I pray for you and the kiddos. GOD BLESS YOU JACI, and THANK YOU !!!!! ✝️ 🙏 🙌 ❤️

      It's real, it's from the heart, and really it's helpful in many ways. That's a beautiful thing. As a 35yr old male I'd have watched a 20minute "ramble" about your feelings too, so have no worries about that) Now is the time for it. Do it whenever you want or need to. P.S. how your humor glints through is so heartwarming 😅it's a good muscle to keep strong.

Also, vile language was used toward me because I have an Astros logo. It is so sad to be treated so hateful (and it was not really even about my comment...it was about me!) So, thanks ladies for being kind. It made me feel a lot better.

If you ever decided to grace us with your thoughts, you would have my/our full attention. RIP Mark. We all miss you in our own ways, but I know we can’t ever miss you the way your wife and kids do. I know you’re looking down on them and I truly believe that you aren’t missing there successes, just from a different elevation.

Maybe he wasn’t perfect but he looked like he was that’s for damn sure. And he deserves every bit of recognition the man receives.

    Well, totally new to his journey, stumbled on the channel, and bloody hell that guy suffered! That was brutal, totally brutal. Dam cancer is a cruel disease. I hope Jackie has moved on, which is kind of indicated by the lack of updates for the last three years. You have to, for the sake of the kids you just have to, and I'm sure they both talked about this a lot during that final year. You have to continue your life and get to a happy place again, otherwise what's the point? This channel is his legacy, his memory, his humour and his bravery. It will always be something his children can tap into and be inspired by, as well as being an archive of what a strong and amazing Dad they had.

Right now, i haven't been through it luckily. But my time will come and when it does. I will be more prepared and stronger from watching these and learning to cope with it in the best way i can.
      Like a lot of people have said. We came for Mark but now we're going to stay for you. Baby steps, but you'll pick it up! You can, like most people learn on the job.

    If you sit down and record a video and it's just you ranting or talking about your feelings for 20 minutes. Upload it. We know it's a tremendously hard time for you and your family. You more then the rest. It's ok to vent. And we're all here. We'll listen. We'll try to give you as much positive energy as possible, and well try to answer the questions that you have. Please don't feel like you need to upload videos just for us. The videos that you choose to upload are more for you than they are us. Just remember we're here to support you. Not the other way around.

    The Carriker's on CZcams are the embodiment of life being lived; something a lot of us never really see the opportunity to do. From Pew-Pews, saving animals, rebuilding and building things, facing the loss of oneself and those you love. Dr. Lee is a dad that those lacking a father figure can look up to, and Drewski…… well, teaches how to be your best online sniper.
    This channel could continue as a blueprint for people recovering from loss, if she feels called to do so. If she chooses to let it be, and this is the last video posted, that's fine too. I appreciated Mark, and I appreciate Jacqueline for sharing what she has. Peace and happiness to you ma'am.

    If you feel like you need to talk for 20 minutes, we will listen for 20 minutes. There are many other videos on CZcams that much longer than 20 minutes that have absolutely no content worth watching.
    You, on the other hand, have a greater heart felt level of content. Much more meaningful. Love and prayers to you and your kids.
