I don’t know you guys or your struggles, but I want you to know that I’m amazed by the people you are and the values you bring to your channel. Thanks for being awesome human beings and great, loving parents.
Have to say, I love your philosophy(s). Mike - "water under the bridge", Melissa - "happiness is a choice". What Miner 304 said!
I love you both.
God Bless Your Family.
I wish you a great holiday. 🙏
Thanks, you have said what I have been thinking.
Mike and Melissa, often I have pondered how through the years your family dynamic must have been altered. Since Hunter is your first all aspects of raising your family must have taken on characteristics not common to many families with 4 children. I raised a special son but not autistic. I am familiar with the ugly. God bless you and please share what you can. Most appreciate you immensely.
i was a commercial fisherman, tough as nails, smoke ,drink ,ride Harleys and this video brought tears to my eyes.
Amen Josephricany........
I'm a retired firefighter single dad raising my autistic daughter a bit higher level for the past 15 yrs she's now 23 and I understand your challenges. It's not easy but the lord gives us what he gives us. At this point in my life I can't see my life without her in fact she has made me a better father and human being. God bless you all.
Peoples’ true character shows during tough times. I’ve watched these videos for years. The Morgan family are all moral, hard working, high character people. I love watching the channel. For every person that says “must be nice” there’s another 10,000 people that realize you have worked hard and deserve all you have. Thanks for all the content and inspiration!
Yes when all these people need to do is follow suit and worl hard and find a career like Mike did that is prosperous and allows them to have and do and obtain all those things they dream of one day.
That's the big issue with teens and young adults today they want everything given to them and not have to do like Mike and we all have done our whole lives.
And it certainly doesn't help that this president and administration and the dems in Congress Bernie and AOC and the rest of the socialist clowns tell them they can have a free paycheck medicaid or Medicare and anything else they need to live free rather then work hard for what they get and have and build a life for there families the right way the American way.
We are definitely not headed in the right direction in america today and I pray it changes.
I’m not gonna lie, I shed a few tears watching this video. You two are amazing, your faith, love for Hunter and each other is so evident. Thank you for being vulnerable and being an encouragement to your viewers. May God continue to bless you and your family!
You were not alone on that.
I agree with you the Morgans are a very special CZcams family
Yep mine were leaking also
Having a granddaughter with autism, now 19 years old, I have some sense of the joys, and struggles that an autistic child can bring. Melissa and Mike…you are the most genuine, thoughtful and humble couple on CZcams. I’ve commented before that it would be an honor to meet you and spend time working in the wood yard with you. You and your wonderful family have a special place already reserved for you in Heaven.
When you said"28 out of 30 yrs"you were on the road working,raising your family,i thought WOW,Melissa is really a special person and a great mother to those kids.A huge shoutout to a great mother and a good provider,Mike Morgan.Nothing is easy,nothing is free.
As a parent of a 24 year old Autistic young adult this video goes straight to the heart. It’s hard to explain these things to those who don’t live it daily,but you guys have done an awesome job explaining. Stay strong and I thank you for this video. Love from Ohio.
My sister walks your mile folks.
Be proud.
Takes special people to look after special people.
"God only gives you what you can handle."
Mike, give that woman a hug!
Amen
AMEN ❤️
Melissa deserves more than a hug. Just think of all the things she takes care of besides Hunter. A clean house that Mike can come into. A hot meal. Clean laundry. She agrees to the things Mike wants with a positive outlook. She takes care of the things that can’t be taken care of with a truck, excavator or skid steer. God bless her. There will be a special place in heaven for her.
I work in a hospital and the amount of people who spend their stay alone is unbelievable , a lot of people don't even have some one who will stop by for an hour or pick them up.... To see people like you guys who take care of some one their entire life are just unbelievable, angels here on earth ..
We love when Hunter joins you on your videos! My son has Asperger’s and he’s in his 30s, so I can understand a little of your daily living. Hunter always puts a smile on our face. He always is authentic. 💕
For what it’s worth from me, I think you epitomise the strong family unit. The fact you can do everything you do and give Hunter the attention and love he deserves is very special.
Hunter has been blessed to have parents like you. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌
My wife and I really appreciated this video. I think that one of the reasons your channel is so successful is because we can see that you’re genuinely good people. You deserve the success you’ve had, and I hope that it continues for you. Thanks for the great videos
As a parent of an adult child with multiple challenges, I say you nail on the head when describing your family life . Your experiences are much like my own. I believe that my experience raising a child like my son has made me a better person in many different ways. My thought is that if all my children are healthy and happy in their own way, it's all I can ask for.
@Outdoors With The Morgans
So I’m a grown up man who as a early teenager here in Great Britain helped out lunchtimes while at secondary school, at a
Special needs school in the city in Norfolk where I live.
It was SUCH A PRIVILEGE to help out and try to enrich their day to day existence. It taught me so much about tolerance of others less fortunate than yourself on a day to day basis.
We all know a camera can lie through modern editing techniques.
THANK YOU MIKE AND MELISSA for being honest, keeping it real; the way it should be!…der! And not just conforming to the “everything is perfect” scenario that is main stream media
Total respect
Jonathan Seth-Smith
I’ve watched you guys for several years now. I enjoy your videos. I’ve also noticed how well you take care of Hunter. You are very special parents for him. He is very lucky to have your whole family to love and take care of him. Praying for you all 🙏🏻
What a beautiful thing! Thank you Mike and Melissa, we are blessed to have you in our lives. ❤️
Mike I especially enjoy the trips you make with Hunter. His excitement, smiles, and mannerisms are really a joy to see. Both you and Melissa have a very special bond with Hunter that transcends the camera whenever he’s near it. Please continue to include him whenever possible in your videos. He’s a character! Merry Christmas to you guys and your entire family.
Melissa, I talked with you at Paul Bunyan '21 and shared my own experience growing up with a sibling with epilepsy. And, even now at '71, I still have a responsibility to make sure she is properly cared for in a nursing home. I have always been amazed at how normal your life "seems" to be on camera. I know you can never totally escape the responsibility, even though you're smiling on camera.
God has truly blessed you with children who are loving and willing to help with Hunter. Many times, they want to get as far away as they can right after graduation from HS.
My prayers are for you two to be able to continue with such joy and love for work and life itself.
At 12:25 Mike spoke of happiness. My dad used to tell me, "97% of happiness is between the ears, and the other 3% doesn't matter." Happiness is a choice, not a result. It took decades for that to sink through my thick skull. Just keep on keepin' on and I'll keep watching. May the joy of the Christ-child be with you this season and always.
God Bless Hunter, and the people who help to take care of him. Guys like him are gifts from God who help make those around him better.
Thank you so much for this, my wife and I have a non verbal autistic 5 year old baby girl. Harper Louise. Hearing your guys words of encouragement really helped. We both cried arching this because no one we know goes through what we go through. All the long long nights when she doesn’t sleep, all the screaming into certain stores, the way everything has to be placed in the house, the lining up of her toys. So thank you very very much. God bless.
"Always moving Forward" is a GREAT expression for "How to get along with autism." Great respect for you and being willing to share at this level with all of us. Love to you and yours. Thanks.
Well Melissa, you got me teared up again! When you started, I started, lol. Thanks for this video. We all need to know that everyone has their cross in life to bare. You all are blessed for your struggles.
I'm pretty sure that my wife is cutting onions this morning. I don't know why she's cutting onions but she must be cutting onions.
Morning Morgan's, I think your video would be extremely helpful to young families who are in the same situation and who may not have figured out the things you have through experience. My nephew is a little younger than Hunter, but I remember his parents struggling especially in the early years trying to figure things out. I would encourage everyone who knows a family in a similar situation to share this video with them. On a side note, your family is welcome at my home anytime. Keep up the great work, 311k and growing everyday... It's incredible and well deserved.
The awesome thing about CZcams is it's an opportunity for everyone. Anyone can start a channel and make videos, it doesn't take a huge investment to get started so no one is excluded. My point is to the "it must be nice" people, the only difference between you and the Morgan's is they're busting their butts and making it happen and you're sitting on your butt waiting for it to happen.
Mike and Melissa, I think anyone with kids can relate to everything you're saying! I admire you both for always dropping everything and taking Hunter to get a lunch or run an errand, even when you're extremely busy and in the middle of something, but you do it with such ease and it comes across as you are great role models for others! Thanks and God Bless the Morgan family!
Give Hunter a hug from us. He has some strong parents. Melissa, you're a tough lady and appreciate your story of the struggles in life.
Edit: My wife is my MIL's 24 hour care giver since the day my FIL passed away. I get to go to work and get away from everything for several hours each day, yet my wife is there, in that house 24/7/365. I get it, I understand how important it is to those who have responsibilities to care for those who can't care for themselves to be able to get out of the house for a few minutes just to get some air. That Dr in the beginning of your video seems to understand that and is trying to provide some rest for those caregivers.
Your transparency is humbling God-bless your family
Thank you for sharing this because it hits very close to home because my son also has autism but is 7.5 years old. While autism has a whole spectrum and looks different for every person with it, there are also many similarities. It's also nice to see the community of parents who live with it our lives everyday help each other. Taking 2 vehicles to a function so that one of you can stay for the entire event is also something we have to do. Thank you for sharing something so personal and God bless you guys.
I really enjoy seeing hunter, whether it's in the background walking around when you guys are talking, going to get him a burger and a smile on his face or swinging. That's smile does it all. When I see him walking around on a mission I know he knows something important that we don't. Thanks for sharing him with us. We will never know what you go through but we enjoy your family. I know that you guys work hard for everything you have daily. Thanks
Hunter is a normal person, we all have our own special needs but most of us have never been honest enough to admit this. If we all found the courage to look inside ourselves for the truth, then we would realise that actually, we are just as different and vulnerable as anyone else. Maybe if we were also non verbal then we would hear the truth, that we are guilty of judging. I have so much respect for you Morgans, may God bless each of you with the very best that life has to offer. Best regards, Colin, England.
So many good lessons from this video. I wish we could all remember that you never know what people are going through and to treat each other with grace and compassion. Bless you and your family.
It must be nice, to be great people and so loving…. God bless you two and the kids, Hunter is blessed to have you.
Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us. As an avid viewer of your channel we see the Edited version of your daily routine. Its easy for us to look at that version of your life and not see the struggles and hard times you deal with. You guys are awesome! I have tried to figure out why i keep coming back to watch you do what I do (tractors, firewood, hunting and working on my 100 acres). Its about you and your family and that we feel we know you in some capacity. You share little clips of your life every once in a while that reminds us that this is not just another channel.
Good morning Mike and Melissa. While I enjoy all the OWTM and Morgans off the Leash videos, the ones where you share about your family are the best. I feel like I could come to your house and feel right at home with everyone. You and your family are a treasure and I am so glad I found your channel almost at the beginning. Merry Christmas to ALL of you.
Great learning experience for me in regards to Hunter! As far as those people filled with envy, you guys have earned every blessing you have! Everyone has the same opportunity to do what you are doing. Keep up the good work!
I taught students with autism and mental disabilities for over 30 years. I have always been amazed and supportive of the parents of my kids. Their love, understanding and willingness to accommodate their child’s needs is immeasurable. Your video brought back so many special memories. I pray that God continues to bless your family.
Beautiful story you shared. I have a 16 yr old grandson, he is autistic. I try to help my son and his family as much as possible. The highs and lows are challenging. Socializing is tough. You have raised a beautiful family. So much joy in your videos! Merry Christmas to all!
God bless you both and your family. You are the best example of mighty fine parents.
I have Asperger, diagnosed in my late 40's , which explains alot about me. I'm in my 70's .
But on a good note I retired from the USN. Discipline and structure in key.
Happy holidays to you and yours . You 2 are wonderful
You will be rewarded for what you do!!! God Bless!!!
Excellent video Mike and Melissa, we are so proud of you both for how you've handled your life with Hunter and your other children are such a blessing the way they have pitched in and helped. They have been taught well. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and keep having fun around there. Hello to the rest of the crew around there also. Fred.
For those whose lives are 'complicated' here is a quote from a gentleman named Dandy Wellington.
"Most who would criticize you don't have the courage to live your life. So why should they be given the privilege to criticize your decisions?"
I was so taken by that. I wrote it down and have it where I can see it every day. Hope this helps someone else out there. Happy Holidays from 🌨 snowy Minnesota!!🎅❄️☃️🫖🎄
Thank you for sharing your family story with us. Although I enjoy watching the machines at work, the firewood processing, digging up shale for backfill, the projects you undertake….the number one reason I watch your channel is the beauty of your entire family. Hunter is fortunate to be supported by a loving and caring family and the family is blessed to have so much to learn from Hunter. Your grandchildren will grow up to be wonderful, loving and caring citizens because of the great role models that you both are. All the best this Holiday Season to Melissa and Mike and your amazing family.
This video was amazing. I have 5 kiddo's and 3 are on the spectrum and 2 of of them also have a slew of health issues. We very rarely go to any functions, because our youngest (only daughter) doesn't do well with loud noises and commotion. This video really hit home. Love you all and God Bless!
Melissa , you made me cry . Watching your channel over the years has changed my attitude for the better. Thank You 🙏.
Totally enjoyed this video about, as Mike put it, "What's important in life"! You have done so much for your subscribers in making us all more aware of many of the "hidden" aspects of autism. As for Hunter, all I can say is that he is a very lucky man to have had the opportunity to grow up in the arms of such a loving family!
Amen!
Everyone always caring for the handicapped but no one ever even talks about the cause. We need prevention research. In the meantime, stop injecting things into small children..
Great video Mike and Mellisa. You are doing a wonderful job keeping your family unit together. More families deal with similar situations than most people realize. You're lucky and unlucky that these situations have happened in your life. You have changed your life to deal with this and God has blessed you in ways that show a very positive way to the rest of us. Keep up the great work and God will help you even more.
Good morning Morgans!!! I just wanted to say that I have a huge amount of respect for you guys and your family. My little sister was born with Down’s syndrome, so I can definitely relate to what you guys are saying and some of the challenges you face. And having her for a sister has most definitely made me a better person. Although Down’s syndrome is different than autism obviously, but I understand the challenges very well. I enjoy seeing him pop in on the channel from time to time!!
Thank you for sharing your life with us, have a great day!!!
Mike and Melissa,,,,you two are my heroes,,,for all that you both do on a daily basis,just amazes me,then to both have utube channels,cut wood,bundle wood,print and package merchandise, make,package,ship fire starter,did I miss anything....ohhh then take care of kids,grand kids,,,dogs and other animals...and still devote your attention to the care of Hunter....my jaw...just dropped....thank you for letting us all in on your lives....simply amazing 👏 Keep on shining Morgans 🌞☀️🌞☀️ and Have a Day🇺🇲👍
I have an 18yr autistic son. I know your struggles. I'm happy to see you guys talked about your trials and tribulations with Hunter. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this world, and that there are other people going through what my family and I deal with. I wouldn't change it for the world, and my son brings light to my life. So, Thank you!
Bless you both! How amazing that CZcams can offer you the best situation for your family, allowing you to be home and have Levi on board! I am a retired Special Ed teacher and most definitely know families like yours 💝 Sending hugs to you from Nashville 😘
Guys your not alone, Hunter can be a challenge, but like my son he is still family and we still need to care for them
Prayers continue for Hunter and Melissa and Mike. Bless you, for taking this challenge in life as parents. Parents do what is needed and hopefully learn from it. It is a pleasure when I see Hunter pop into a video. Please tell him hello and my prayers are with him. Prayers for all of the Morgan family.
Awesome video. We have been proud to be part of the Morgan "family" since the L3901 days. We always look forward to that Hunter smile showing up on our FB feed. We watch several CZcams channels involving firewood and farming. It's amazing how you get so attached to a family just by watching them daily. You feel their losses and grieve with them. We are thankful that we found your family years ago. Share a safe virtual hug to Hunter from Kim and Dave in Frederick Md.
Dear Mike and Melissa, I watched your video today like i do whenever you post one and I want to tell you that I have so much compassion and feelings for you both! I admire your strength's and the way you go about your daily routines finding enjoyment in what you do. I spent my time in the army in Viet Nam ( Phi Bai ) and saw how life is in another country where people aren't as lucky as we are here in America. Everyday in the world we live in I see so many complaining about things that seem crazy to me. Both of you do everything with such Humility that more people need to pay attention to and you also have your priorities in correct order.! Bless you both . john
god gives you what he knows you can handle. i couldnt be more proud of you guys, happy to be a small part of your you tube family ! your the best channel on
It is so heartwarming to see the true-to-life side of CZcamsrs. Thank you Melissa and Mike. I have an 11 yr old granddaughter they believe is autistic because of her destructive behavior but I'm not sure she has ever really been diagnosed. She does well in school so maybe she is high functioning. It broke my heart when her dad and his two kids lived with us from 19 to 4/22 because her father too strongly disciplined her for her actions. You see my son was drugged by his now x-wife 7/19 and he shot himself in the face. I was his medical care provider as he was on a feeding tube for 18 hours per day. The x preferred to do drugs so I picked the kids up 10/19. All is good now as they have moved on to another county and their egg donor mother is awaiting a jury trial finally in January 2023 for dealing in 19.5 g of meth in August 20. Although I've lost 70 lbs due to the stress since 2019 I'm beginning to get my life back and make our home a home again after all the damage caused. I just showed my hubby your channel today. He was injured in a WC injury 10/14/22 so getting his fill of CZcams videos. I keep introducing him to channels so he will quit watching that darn monkey in all his videos. lol Thank you again. Life goes on we just need to focus on different ways of doing things. I can't wait to see you WV home delivered so you can get Melissa away for the weekend.
I can’t imagine the things you’ve faced with an autistic child and now adult. But you both have done a fantastic job dealing with it and accepting the things you can’t change but also learning how to deal with certain situations. You and your family are wonderful people who I admire so. A true inspiration.
Not a day goes by without me watching your channel, I love your honesty, your family values, and how you guys deal with life! I feel as if I know ya’s on a personal level! Keep doing what your doing, I look forward to continuing to watching you guys in the future! Love from Michigan City, Indiana! 🙏🏻❤️👏👍😉🇺🇸
You guys are great. God bless you ! And he has !
Heartbreaking, sobering and so nice to see kind people! Thank you for sharing!
Growing up, my brother suffered MD. I could never him walking. After he graduated high school we struggled with transportation for him. A very good man who ran the local car dealership stepped up to help. Long story short, he not practically gave us a new van but helped us in getting a wheelchair lift. I always wondered why he/we had to go through that. But after watching my son help a classmate who had autism like he was his own son I had my answer. Some times we really can't see the forest for the trees. God has a plan for all of us and I believe you are doing a great job with yours. I will keep you in my prayers.
May God pless you and your family.
You guy's are great . Your therapeutic skills are over the top. Many many families are taken down with a lot lessor challenges. God Bless you and your family. Give Hunter a big hey from us.
Drinking some morning coffee watching you guys.. great way to start the day 👍🔥
🍩🍩🍩
You know, I watch your channel, and I like it. But now, I decided I really, really like you folks. Thank you for trusting us. Bless you both. FYI, my best friend for the last 30 years has a learning disability. We talk every on the phone every night. He keeps me grounded and thankful.
Wow. You got me. I'm so glad you have each other to share in the work involved to support each other and Hunter.
I'm glad y'all took this time to share this. Watch y'all every day ❤️
Good stuff guys, I can totally relate. My 5 year old grandson was born with pulmonary hypertension. He and my Daughter and son-in-law spent 9 months in the Icu at Strong Hospital. He is permanently on a ventilator and recently diagnosed with Autism. He is there entire life. He just had a crisis and they have been back in the Icu since Thanksgiving. Luckily they have alot of great people and support around them Anda try to stay positive! Thanks for sharing your story, it's not easy!
I give you guys all the credit in the world and Hunter is extremely lucky to have you guys as parents , you’re other children are rockstars as well!!! You guys are such a inspiration for all of us!!! God Bless you all and have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
The long time viewers here sure see how you guys are with Hunter, hes a special boy but he was also blessed with a special family. And yes there are those of us that envy your property and equipment but we dont see your real life day to day struggles. You guys are awesome and a great example of what family is all about.
I have watched your channel for years...enjoyed every video, feels like I know you and your family. But then realize I am only seeing 20-30 mins of your life once a week. I commend you and your family for the work that you do everyday to support Hunter and each other! Take Care & Stay Strong
I've always known that things weren't a piece of cake for you guys. I admire you for your dedication, not only to Hunter, but to everything that you take on. That's undoubtedly a trait that carries over from your experience with Hunter. I enjoy the fact that you share your whole family on your channel. It's heartwarming and I love it. God bless you all.
I think you guys are truly inspiring! You've created an outstanding, entertaining You tube channel,. Your in the process of building a successful business from the ground up while being the best parents possible. Truly amazing!
My wife has MS. She was diagnosed while in college in 1977. Through the years we have been invited to less and less places because she is in a wheelchair. For myself it's honestly not a big deal as long as we are together, but I know she misses not going places. Her health has been slowly deteriorating for several years now and it's up to me to take care of the house inside and out and honestly, I suck at it. Especially the inside work but I do my best and I always tell folks if you're coming to see us your always welcome but if your here to judge the house give me a week's notice. It's not always sunshine and roses but as long as you have each other you can get through most anything and the rest doesn't matter. Take care guy's, God Bless and Merry Christmas!
I had a brother who was autistic and I saw what my parents went through daily to care for him. I too learned a lot about life and how blessed we are to have our hellth. He, like Hunter would respond to loud sounds, sometimes with a seizure, so we learned to warn him like you do with Hunter. Funny how we learn real early that everything is not about us but caring for others. My mother cared for him 24 - 7 for 27 years until his death. Never taking a vacation or fulfilling her own needs. We did help with him but she never would be away from him on an extended basis. Your discussing this brought back so many things that I had forgotten about how others viewed him when we would take him out. Thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless you and your family. Thanks for being REAL !
I mean this in the nicest and most respectful way. I am very fortunate to have two young healthy boys, that keep my wife and I busy. I can’t even imagine the amount of extra care that a child with autism requires. This video got me in the feels as you both showed your love for your family and each other. I do my best and feel I’ve gotten better as I’ve aged to gain patience for others. As I teach my boys to be good people by my example, the simplest of things can change a persons day. Hunter is very is lucky to be in such a loving caring family.
Great video you guys! Can't thank you enough for including us in you're lives. My wife had an uncle that was down syndrome . He lived to be 60 and was also non verbal. He was fun to be around, always in a good mood and funny .
My cousin was mentally challenged and he could be a handful . Very unpredictable on an average day . He’s now passed on and bless his soul .
My heart goes out to you and him . He’s fortunate to have a family support system . Bless all of you .
Here in WVA , we think you guys are the best! Thank you for demonstrating honor, integrity, empathy, and respect. It's great to see normal Americans living the American dream! Look forward to every episode! God Bless you both and your awesome family!
You both have developed the strength and support that Hunter needs. Hunter appears to feel secure and responds well when you help him maintain his contact points between the realities that you all live in.
Thank you for being honest with what life is like when life deals us the unreported aspects because of the difficulties of explaining them.
May your Christmas be filled with joy and blessings.
Give you guys all the credit in the world for taking such good care of Hunter. I can’t imagine how much goes into taking care of his needs. You guys are awesome and Hunter is so lucky to have you as parents.
I had to watch this video in two sittings to calm my emotions. Our 6 yr old daughter is Autistic and we learn every day how to handle the challenges. In relation to your experience, we are very new to the journey. It is so helpful to hear about your experiences and how you persevere. It gives me hope and perspective that I can't possibly put into words. Thank you both so much for all that you do ❤️
ThankYou for sharing your Frequency of Truth. Thank You for being in Service w/God. Most of All, ThankYou for being Being You & allowing us to share your Journeys.
Everyone’s comments were great, especially the one suggestion of writing a book. I can really see only more Blessings for Everyone🦋
God bless you guys and your family. Your faith will give you strength.
I was watching your buddy " Out Of The Woods " channel yesterday and he was starting a fire in his wood burner the old fashioned way and thought of you. I think a bag of your fire starter would be a great stocking stuffer for him from Santa Mike .
Hunter is lucky that he has parents like you.
Thank you so much for sharing ! This why I love channels like this ……no phoniist. Just people that are real. So unlike Hollywood! God bless your family Love your family and this channel!
Malissa you made me cry. You both are amazing. I think of you often you’re in my prayers. Hunter is so lucky and your family is blessed 😊. Stay strong
Thanks for your real story, you guys are amazing and deserve our respect and prayers! Hunter is blessed to have you as parents and caregivers!
Hello! 🙂
Thank you Mike & Melissa for sharing about Hunter. Kudos to you for keeping up-beat about it and I do know from my own experiences that even though you keep smiling , deep down inside, you are crying your eyes out. You have to protect your sanity at times and I see how you have provided for that.

Thanks for sharing..I started watching your video's because of Hunter, western PA woods(from Franklin Park/Wexford), & love of working with wood (& Melissa's Penguin hat!). I had a special needs brother who passed away five years ago, but lived with my parents for 50+ years. Your comments were spot on about how people view you and social interaction adjustments! I cried and laughed at the "that's OK" statement - I used to tell them that "no it isn't - it sucks!" My brother loved McDonalds, church, swimming and repetition; however, he especially loved being around people. He was challenged like Hunter, in the fact that he looks like a normal dude, in many ways that caused more problems in why he didn't answer questions! Enough rambling...God Bless your family!
Hello Mike & Malissa, thank you for being who you are and the example you are to us, we love you guys and wish we could help in those moments, your videos are so positive in a CZcams universe filled with so much gaslight negativity, bless you and your family, please give Hunter our love
As always, keeping it real. Thanks for sharing. Good people you Morgans
Hi Melissa and Mike, great video. You know me and my situation and my heart goes out to you both. I share a "normal" life with you and other families and am blessed with having a special daughter who is now a beautiful young woman.
Stay true to yourself and know that you have thousands of people out here who are with you and admire you.
Greetings from Downunder.
alot of your viewers understand this about the Morgans, and that is why we continue to support from all around this planet.
Our Heart goes out to Your Family!
I can’t even begin to imagine the struggles you endure on a daily basis with Hunter, but it appears you’re doing an awesome job dealing with everything. Hunter is lucky to have a family that cares like you guys do. Hang in there and keep doing what you’re doing. Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family.
Thanks David and thanks for the kind comment
Omg, I've been watching for years now. I don't always comment but I always hit the like button. My daughter Jacqueline was born deaf. We have since equipped her with cochlear implants so she can hear us, music etc. She is 9 now and still has frustrations regularly or at best time to time. Thank you. I enjoy your channel as it relaxes me as I'm an outdoor person. Thank you for sharing. I wish you happiness, success and having fun doing what you do.
