Life Update: I Got Married

- Maddy is my whole world and when she died I didn’t want to do life without her. Our love and life was perfect and losing her was beyond debilitating. Days before Maddy passed, I cracked and told her I didn't know how I was going to do it without her. I asked her how I was going to find purpose with life and what I was supposed to do. She paused, and responded, "Live it for them and before you know it you will be living it for you again.”
Life without Maddy is substantially harder than I ever could have imagined. Everything without her has been excruciatingly painful. After weeks of trying to make sense of life, I realized that the only way I could properly memorialize Maddy’s legacy was by living the way I know she would want me to. My mantra for life has become, BECAUSE OF MADDY. Because of Maddy, I parent better. Because of Maddy, I want to always be present and live life to the fullest. I spent quality time with my kids playing and helping them work through not having their mom here anymore. I started connecting with other widows and widowers to better understand how to give my kids the best life possible as a single parent. One of those widows was Jessica Dennert. She lost her husband Tyson, her father, two brothers, brother in law, her grandfather and three other family members in a horrible accident. When the accident happened, she had two beautiful children and was pregnant with a third. The life she has lived is beyond inspiring to me. One of the first things she told me is that the pain of grief doesn’t go away, you just get better at carrying it. My first meeting with Jessica just solidified my thought that the best part of life had come and gone. We both felt validated that we had found and lost incredible love and we would never find something close to it again. We had no idea that we would change each other’s minds.
As we talked about Maddy and Tyson, we found similarities in our parenting styles, our views on life, and the special love we both had and lost. I didn’t think anyone could understand my loss or the love that me and Maddy have, but Jessica did. One of my new favorite phrases is that two things can be true. I can experience extreme gratitude, love, and admiration for Maddy and Jessica at the same time. I can love Wren and Andi and I can love Hanley Will and Blakely. I can grieve and miss Maddy every day while simultaneously having an exceptional love with Jessica full of beautiful, and spectacular moments. I can’t explain it, but I’m so grateful for it. I will never be able to understand why Maddy and Tyson can’t be here to see their children grow up, but I’m so grateful for the opportunity to figure out the rest of my life with Jessica, Hanley, Wren, Will, Andi, and Blakely. Jessica and I still have so much to figure out, but because of Maddy and Tyson we have incredible examples of exceptional marriages to build on and exemplify. We will live and love like Maddy and Tyson. For Tyson. Because of Maddy.
There is no denying the love you have for Maddy and we are so grateful for everything you did for her to help her fight the fight. She wanted you to find happiness, and Jessica was the answer. Wishing you both, and those sweet children, a lifetime of happiness. ❤
Thank you so much, Karen! Love you!
Love you guys Karen ❤️❤️
Jessica has known a devastation that not many of us will ever know.
Good things come to those who have open hearts. The children have meshed so well together❤️🩹❤️🩹 +❤️❤️❤+❤️❤️=🤍
I feel your joy 🥹 congratulations
God bless you and Congratulations. Prayers and love for you and your new bride❤❤🙏🏽
He met someone who also went thru a big loss. Who also had children and also deserved a second chance at love. We need to have more grace for both of them
You have grace by yourself lady. The rest of us will feel as we please.
@@nunyabusinessbro8527it’s not your life, how you feel doesn’t matter 😂
@@star_bakerdid anyone say it mattered? But people can feel the way they want, stfu lol
@@nunyabusinessbro8527Right he didn’t even wait a year 😶🌫️
Kind of sus of both of them then...
I’d like to imagine that Maddy and Tyson met up in heaven at a coffee shop or something and conspired to put Chandler and Jessica together. ❤ Wishing your family well!
Ummmm WHAT LMAOOOOOO
@@alexandria65 Just feel the vibes lol
Came here to literally say the same!
Who’s tyson
@NOONE-ut3pl
Tyson was Jessica’s husband that also passed away.. his name is mentioned in the video
"live it for the kids, and before you know it you'll be living it for you again"...........damn that was a powerful statement.
As I read it he said it😮😮😮
Agreed ❤
I lost my older sister when she was 29. She had 2 young children. Her husband remarried 7 months after her death. At first I was hurt by the short time span. I came to realize that while I was grieving, I still had a spouse. I still had that person and that support. My brother in law went home to an empty house. He went home to raise 2 little people that needed a mom. Life is short and we need to allow people to move forward however that looks. I have come to realize that the best compliment to me would be that my husband would have loved our marriage so much that he would want to do it again if I were gone. My hope is that if I go first, he would remarry soon and that he would have an amazing second chapter. That's really what it is, a second chapter to a beautiful life. It doesn't take away anything from the first chapter. It is just a continuation . Best of luck and live your 2nd chapter well.
I'm so sorry for you loss and experience. I think women do things differently. It takes us longer to process it all. The other thing is that a loss after a prolonged illness is different than one that is sudden. You have the time to start the process and to talk out what the future looks like. Again I just know that people have to grieve their own way. I don't think there is a right or wrong way. Just a your way.
I am very happy for you.
@@ihndz9824you need to understand that every person is different… I fully understand both perspectives. You just need to be understanding that everyone is different and that there is not wrong from right… That’s the beautiful thing about people… Everyone is different. You should really try to be more understanding of that. I know if I were ever to pass away, I would absolutely want my wife to find someone new that could help her to raise my son as quickly as she is ready… I wouldn’t want her to ever feel alone and sad for any stretch of time. I know I would never not be missed or not be loved by my wife or child. I would always only want what is best for them and their happiness
Yes, thank you for sharing your experience. I hope your sister likewise found someone to be with on the other side too so she’s not lonely without her husband and children from this side here. Heaven wouldn’t be heaven without loved ones.
Such a beautiful statement.
My mom died from cancer when I was 7 and my dad remarried a year later. Unfortunately, I think it was mostly because he was overwhelmed working and caring for two small children and needed help. Theirs has been a tough marriage and my stepmother and I have never had a close mother-daughter relationship. However, things got better once I was an adult and no longer living at home. They have now been married for 45 years and will both turn 81 this summer. 🙂
Our entire household is so happy for you and your family, Chandler! We love you all!!!!
Thanks so much Kevin! Thanks for all your help through everything!
@@ChandlerDavidSmith7months? Married already? Nah idgaf what the excuses are. No need to get married right away to someone you don’t know truly until year 2.
@@nothin9891 he cheated on his wife.
@@lovemypurple7406it’s not necessarily cheating. maddy would’ve wanted him to find happiness. and jessica just happened to be the answer.
Congratulations. You are on of the reasons I started posting here on social media. Glad to have you back and glad life is looking better.
Love you brother.
It’s been so hard to watch you go through this but amazing to watch how you have responded.
I’m amazed at how deeply you love Maddy and the lengths you went to get her better.
We sure miss her.
Im so happy for you and Jess and the kids.
Love you guys!
Chandler I have watched you for a while now I lost my husband 4 years ago with bone cancer I’m 54 an I don’t think I can ever remarry but I’m so excited for you God Bless!!
It will happen to you again one day. God Bless you
GOD’S WILLING 💕🙌🏼🙏🏽
I worked on oncology and cancer patients in homecare. I'll say they touched my heart. There was a time driving that l broke down for a big cry. It was holiday season and everywhere l drove was taking me by homes of patients I'd lost. All l could think was all of the tables that would have an empty seat. I'm thrilled you had the courage to love again. I agree that Maddy and Tyson were in cahoots up in heaven. Well played angels, WELL PLAYED! ❤❤
I had a cancer scare a few months ago..I got very I'll fast; i was also first trimester pregnancy.. I told my husband when we came home from the
ER( the doctor did a scan and thought I could possibly have lymphoma cancer the doctor said older moms (41)
risk of cancer gos up.
I need to see a specialist the next day)
that night in tears😢and very terrified
..i told him that if I have cancer 😢
..I won't do any treatment
(bc the pregnancy)
...and that if I am to die
please get married right away😢!
I was extremely upset!
I can't put words to it!
.... But I knew I didn't want him to be alone the rest of his life.
The initial next appointment the specialist wanted me on heavy steroids..( to reduce the swelling)
but I needed approval from the pregnancy doctor for the meds
.. The next day
after was our first ultrasound!
( I was very swollen & in pain)
They saw the baby had no heartbeat 😭..(I was so sick and felt I was nearly choking bc of my swelling in my neck)they scheduled emergency D&C😢. And I was on the highest dose of steroids they could give me
...we went through the loss of the baby & still
me very I'll
& not Knowing exactly what I had for shure..
then after seeing a head and neck specialist and some weeks past & medicine.. It was clear i did not have lymphoma.. but an issue w my glands that would resolve over time.
I'm thankful and grateful to be here
but it was the most painful physically mentally and emotionally spiritually
I ever had in my life!!
I wanted the best for my husband and I wanted him to enjoy his life if I were to go.
No one wants to go!
No one wants to even think about it!
but it was the first thing I told him that night after the ER if I ever was to die.
he knows my wishes for him to have a blessed life if I die.
I have also told family my wishes for him if anything happens to me.
I love him ❤
We are going to celebrate
24 years of marriage this year.
Wow.. I am speechless... I am so happy for you all, especially those 5 precious angels!
God bless you! You are honoring Maddie by continuing to live fully and well. 🙏🏻
I lost my sister to a car accident the same year my ex left and divorced me. Was dealing with significant health issues (undiagnosed celiac disease) during all of that. Two years later, I lost my mom suddenly to cancer. Two years after that I lost my job due to the economic downturn in the industry. It’s been 10 years and I am still struggling. Loss and grief suck.
I came across your channel a while back and sobbed with you. Maddy died, and you were so broken. You have now climbed back out❤ So wonderful you have chosen life.
Your Maddy was a beautiful young woman who knew she was dearly loved 😍
That's so beautiful!!! I was crying watching your other video just a few days ago
.. then this one came into my feed. What a gorgeous, wonderful place you now find yourself. I'm.so happy for all of you in your new journey. God bless you ❤
What a blessing! Heartfelt congratulations to ALL 7 of you. 💗
How wonderful!!! I've been a widow for nearly 15 years, after being with the love of my life for 41 years. I was 57 when he died, and just felt I was too old to start over. I have to say, I regret those years I lost 'stuck' in grief and not letting myself out. I've spent the last 13 years telling people with loss that grief never goes away, it just changes. That the open wounds tend to toughen with scars we will always carry, but we learn to move forward. I am so very happy for both of you and those beautiful children. You have 2 guardian angels watching over you and cheering you on. If you had gone first, this is what you would have wanted for them. LIFE . God Bless and BE HAPPY!
Hey Chandler, you're all very amazing. Thank you for sharing an update. I'm happy for what you've found and allowing your life to continue. Your family has grown now, congratulations! May God continue to bless you and guide you through your journey!
This is powerful. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Chandler, I have been rocking with you for years, through the tear downs, the evictions, the new properties, the cars, all of it. Watching you go through this life battle was so hard to watch, yet so inspiring. You are such a strong, patient, humble, and grounded guy. I know I don’t know you personally, but I can honestly say I am super proud of you, and happy for you. You deserve it! Congratulations to you both! God bless you and your new family! 👊🏼
Thank you so much! This is such a kind genuine comment!
Chandler, I’m so happy you found someone to share your journey with. I don’t doubt for a minute that Maddie and Tyson brought you both together. What a beautiful blessing for all!
I can't imagine losing the majority of the men in my family, all at once. Brothers, cousins, father, grand father... That's insane. What a strong woman.
Your family looks like it blends so well together! Congratulations.
I completely agree! I don't know this man or his family but just from this video, I feel these two adults who tragically lost loved ones far too soon, had some heavenly help to find each other. Whether or not people believe in that, I feel Tyson and Maddie were guiding the way. :-) Looking at the blended family, I cannot see whose kids are whose. They all look like Daddy and Momma! Such a great story and a beautiful family.
🙏🏽
WOWWWWWW I DONT EVER WANT TO IMAGINE WHAT JESSICA AND HER FAMILY ARE GOING THROUGH😔💜🙏🏽
For me personally, it would be too many things happening in just one year but each person has its own way to grief and different timings to process everything with inner self. Hope you'll find peace and emotional stability with your new life partner. Moments are the only thing that matters in this journey.
Ever since you started sharing Maddy and her story, I felt so drawn to her, she seemed like such a kind soul and you are so lucky to have found a love like that and to find love again. Many congratulations, wishing your family all the best
So fascinating. I think it’s too fast BUT what’s the likelihood of finding a gorgeous widow with even more immense grief? There’s literally no one who could ever understand it and I think it would be so hard to move on with someone who hadn’t lost their person, I think it would feel like you couldn’t talk about them or remember them fully and I love the sentiment of you both remembering these beautiful people with each other. I hope you two never know grief like you have again, good luck
You do what’s best for the kids though not yourself. I’m not saying this wasn’t best for the kids, just saying that it doesn’t matter if you’ll never meet someone like that again it’s a big big change to get remarried and move in with someone so shortly after your children’s mother has died. If they go to frequent therapy(the kids) and he was told they are on the path where that would be okay that’s one thing and of course not our business, but it’s unlikely that at this stage this is a good transition for the children.
@@Duckduckobtusegoose agree 💯 %
@@Duckduckobtusegooseexactly! It surprises me that someone would be able to move on so quickly … maybe finding someone new wasn’t a bad thing for him, but marrying already? I won’t judge, but it seems awfully fast and rushed. It’s about the kids when you have them
Thank you for sharing Maddy’s story. I’m so very sorry for your loss. She looked like an amazing person. I wish you and your family all the best.
Maddy was part of the same cancer support group as I am in. I'm a stage 4 fighter myself. Maddy was awesome. I can't lie it kind of breaks my heart you remarried SO fast. I do however pray for you and your family's happiness. You all do deserve to be happy even if it was moved fast in our eyes 💙
I’m surprised he remarried so quickly as well. I’m glad he’s happy and found love, but wow 😮 I’ve heard men tend to move on quicker than women.
You don't know his situation they are most likely helping each other through there losses. Not everyone is the same I'm sure he loved Maddy he now has to try to move on and if this is his way of moving on let him be.
Well said. Men often feel the strong emotional need for love and companionship and some men remarry quickly after losing their wife. It’s okay if they make the choice to remarry. We don’t know what they’re going through. It must be horrible. ..
@@nancyellen8006 Of course it’s okay to remarry. I was just surprised at how quickly it happened.
I am sooo happy not only for Chad and Jessica but also for those precious 5 young children. When God closes one door He definitely opens another. We can plan all we want but when He has other plans for us, you just got to grab it with both hands! I know this because I too experienced the same thing. After the loss of my husband I was left with 2 young sons age 2 and 4 years old (and we were working on our 3rd baby) I had to pick up all the pieces of our broken dreams and make new ones. I soon found myself going on the same path of a very close friend of my husband and mine (I’ve known him as long as I have known my husband). This friend was left with a devastating divorce 2 years prior and he had to learn to be a single dad of 2 boys same ages as mine. We found ourselves getting together to do fun stuff for our boys. The love of our years of friendship was already there so as we spent more and more time together it was undeniable how our feelings grew to love and our kids enjoy being with each other. 15 years later we still look at each other and amazed how we ever got together and grew 4 amazing smart responsible young men all in college and medical school and we have 1 still at home (our 14 year old son that’s ours)! We would NEVER EVER imagined we would have that second chance of happiness and of raising a blended family!! But here we are! God is truly Great! Even though it felt so fast within a year that I moved on, honestly everything just FELT right and his kids and my kids being so young made the transition so much easier. So CONGRATULATE Chad and Jessica for finding each other and giving yourselves second chances at happiness and making a HUGE difference in your children’s lives by having a loving stable happy family!! God bless each and everyone of you. No one can truly know what and how you feel and what all you are going thru. The only things that matter are your big beautiful growing family!! ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉
Congratulations!!! Nothing but love for ya, brother ❤. It’s great seeing you back on CZcams. It’s great seeing you smile through the tears.
It takes so much courage to share your personal story publicly. You have articulated your journeys so delicately. Maddy and Tyson aligned your families to come together for a new chapter of lifelong support and love💞You all deserve it! All the very best!
So happy that you are okay and have found your way forward. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story. Praying for you brother!
Great to see you again wishing you and your family the best, extremely sorry to hear about your loss
We are glad you're back, I know I'm not the only one waiting for content from you. Keep on pressing forward on your new journey with our kids.
I am so incredibly HAPPY for you and Jessica!!!! You have a whole lifetime ahead of you with your beautiful children!!! Mady will never be forgotten. She is an amazing spirit! I will continue to keep you in my prayers!! Beautiful video. You did a great job! ❤❤❤
Such an inspiration to those struggling with loss! Glad to see your wonderful story continue!
Yay! I don’t even know you but so incredibly happy for you all ❤
This video has me in tears. There are not enough like buttons. In world full of division and self-numbing, this vulnerability and leaning into grief and suffering and finding hope and restoration is a story we all need to experience more. I subscribed to your channel because I have a few rentals, but this wisdom and perspective blows away all investment advice you’ve ever given. Blessings to you, stranger. Thank you for sharing your story.
This comment means so much to me
What a nice comment.
@@ChandlerDavidSmith huh I really thought you loved her so much but as they say what goes into the wash comes out the rinse!!!! You fall in and out of love so easily!!!!
@@lovemypurple7406 chill
@@lovemypurple7406shut up
Thank you for sharing your story! You deserve all of the happiness my friend!
I lost both my parents within a year of each other, so I can relate to your pain. I don’t think the pain ever completely goes away. Glad to see you’ve learned to manage that grief and move forward. You’re a great guy. Glad you’ve found happiness. Super excited you’re back on CZcams, but do it at your own pace.
Aaaaah mate sorry for your loss
Bless her soul 🙏🏾
Man, you motivated me to make some of the best business decisions I have in my life, buying my first several--and possibly last--properties (let's be honest the market is crazy high). I tuned out for a couple years (while still using your very helpful app), and was *crushed* when I came back and saw the video of your wife's last year. I was in tears the night I watched it. I'm happy to hear that you and your kids are doing well, pulling together the broken pieces across multiple families into a unified whole again. It's beautiful.
Thank you!
I don't believe in coincidences ...this is truly divine intervention! So happy that you were able to keep Maddy's request to live again!! I wish you all the best always...❤ You both deserve this second chance!
Thank you for sharing this with the world. I lost my mother to cancer in a similar age as your kids, my dad remarried around 6 1/2 months later and for me it was the greatest gift ever. Very happy for you the kids and wishing your family the best!
For Me ....the opposit.
😔
I've felt so beyond words for the loss you had with Maddy. No one deserves to go through that and during your hiatus there were times id often think about you and the kids hoping you were doing ok.
I'm so happy for you and Jessica and the life the 2 of you will give those 5 beautiful kids! This is your happiness that you both deserve and its the family those kids deserve. Much love bud!
My Man!!! You've gotten lucky twice in love! Jessica obviously captured your heart and life can move forward with your great family. I'm overjoyed with your new life and know you'll be happy.
you deserve your happiness... been following you and glad to see a good guy smile again. Best of luck to your family man.
Congratulations bro. Was worried about ya after everything with Maddy. Couldn't be happier for you and your family !
Chandler, your courage to share such a profoundly personal journey is truly commendable. The way you've articulated Maddie's enduring spirit and optimism amidst such daunting challenges is deeply moving. Her resolve to stay positive and present has clearly touched many lives, including those of us who only know her through your words. It's evident that Maddie's legacy continues to inspire and guide you and your children. Your ability to rise from the ashes of grief, embracing hope and gratitude as Maddie wished, is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Thank you for reminding us all of the power of resilience and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones. Keep living your life with the same tenacity and love that Maddie showed every day. Your journey gives others the courage to face their own trials with a hopeful heart.
Thank you so much!
Welcome back, and thank you for thinking of us! I think it's absolutely amazing that all of you found each other! I support your decision, and admire your strength! Thank you again for sharing your story with us!
Great way to spend a night! Absolutely in tears! God bless you and Jessica and your new family! You’ll be a great dad to 5 just as you were to 2.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Maddie & Tyson are watching proud!!
It's good to see you're back. I could say a million things but that's the most important. You are inspiring. Stay strong brother.
This just made my heart sing. Stay brave do vulnerability. Keep living. thrive!
Congrats, wishing you guys nothing but love and happiness!❤ Madds would be proud of how you are making the most of life and taking care of your shared kids. And I am so happy for you that you found love again.
Hearing you explain what you went through after Maddie died, and rightfully so, and then getting to the point of marriage in 1 year, I sure cant understand; HOWEVER, I do SINCERELY wish all of you the very best!
Was just looking at your channel looking for some new content!! Glad to have you back
Congratulations, Chandler! Continued blessings to you and your family.
Congratulations 🎉- I know she is smiling and happy that you have found someone to love you and your children ❤❤❤
Bro. This is awesome. I'm pumped you were able to find balance! way to go for you and the kids! Long life for Jessica and you. And it totally makes sense to have both Maddy and Tyson as close as possible, remembering them for the great place they had and always will have. I'll send something over podia as well.
It takes a lot of courage to create a video like this,. Only you know how you were feeling and how you are feeling now. I'm glad you were able to get out of that dark place because you deserve to live your life and continue to be a great father to your children. The best part is that the kids get along very well. Wish you, Jessica and the kids nothing but the best!!
I cried so hard after your last video and I am glad you are building back.
The capacity humans have for deep, daily grief AND abundant, joyful love is a miracle. Both feelings, both bring wisdom and perspective. Your honesty here about how you were likely judgemental and unkind, that's a brave thing to admit. I am so happy you have found more love and support.
Wow, you guys got me crying over here. ❤ I’m so happy for you. God bless your beautiful, strong family.
As a grieving person myself, what you said about the times where you weren’t sure if you would make it, really resonated with me. One day at a time, we must somehow go on. I am profoundly sorry for your loss. You are now inspiring me to have hope for a brighter future. May God bless and protect you and your beautiful family each and every day.
Chandler, first I want to say I’m glad you took the break you needed for your family and for yourself. welcome back and I hope to see more of you!
Nothing I say will ever make things better for you nor can I comprehend the situation and feelings you, Maddie and your kids have felt over the last three years. We’re here for you, we’re rooting for you and we’re part of your community. I’d say the way you handled this chapter in your life was nothing short of incredible. You’re an amazing father and husband. God bless you, your family and Maddy. ❤
Thanks for sharing your story, the good and the bad. So glad that you're on your feet with your family.
WOW😭😭😭, what a testimony, I’m SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS! You deserve this and God always has His way🙏🏼God bless🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for the losses of Maddy and Tyson 😢
May you and your beautiful family be blessed with love, peace, and so much happiness ❤
Your story has given me hope that I will find a way to find some peace and happiness on my grief journey. I didn’t lose a spouse, I lost my eldest daughter, and have been struggling for almost 13 years to find a way to stay present, and bring love forward.
Your love that you share with your family and your story really resonated with me, and I hope to read your book someday ❤
Much love going up to Tyson and Maddy ❤
Congrats to you and your new beautiful wife. ❤
Reading the title, I was skeptical. But listening to your experiences made me understand your actions, desicions and I completely agree with you. I think that both you and Jessica loved your respective late spouses but you found peace and support with one another. It's not wrong to find comfort and love with someone who understands your pain and can heal with you. Feeling guilty is a very normal part of grief. Bit just know they'd want you to be happy. Not only is this relationship beneficial to you and Jessica, but it's very beneficial to the kids. Growing up with the weight of such a tremendous loss will be difficult. But having a unit that will understand and help you in you in those low times will be more important than you can imagine. This doesn't mean that Maddy and Tyson will be forgotten. They were both wonderful souls and will not be left behind. They will always be special to everyone in this family, and they are not just a part of the past. They are not being replaced. These two families who lost members find solace within each other and they can honor and continue to love said members alongside each other. There are many negative comments here, which don't make sense to me. They're not in this position and they shouldn't be bringing negativity to family trying to heal. Keep your rude opinions to yourselves please. It will do nothing and benefit no one, so there's really no point. To the both of you, dont take these comments to heart. Do what you believe and know is right for yourselves and your family regardless of what others say. That being said, I wish all seven of you happiness, peace, and comfort. And most of all, I hope you keep Maddy and Tyson close to your hearts because while they may be gone from this earth, they will forever live on inside this family. ❤️🩹
Glad to see you’re doing well man you deserve it so much! You’re a great inspiration to many glad you found light in your life again!! Much love from the 801!🤙🏽
Congratulations! Blessing for you, Jessica and the 5 littles. I believe your two angels had a hand in this. Happiness to you all!!
Beautiful! THANKYOU for letting us in on your heart-wrenching yet beautiful story.
When God closes a door He opens up a window. God Bless you & Jessica & kids!
What an Amazing story! Such an inspiration for the world, I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Thank you for sharing and providing a Light for us all!!!
That song at the end is perfect. So sorry for the challenges you and Jessica and your kids have had to face. Wishing you all the happiness in the world!
Glad to see you getting back to life Chandler and finding that light again. You, Jess, & the kids deserve happiness
This story is so beautiful. Wishing you and your family a lifetime of happiness.
Congratulations! I’m so glad you two found each other!
Good for you both!!! Two very broken families melded into a larger love filled, support filled family!!!
I can't even begin to imgaine what Jessica and her family went through, loosing such a big part of their family all at once. I'm so deeply sorry for them.
Praise the Lord, Hallelujah keep loving those who are struggling thru grief ,they will come in at some point, I lost my husband all most 16 years , Thank you Lord , He's seeing you thru and blessing of new beginnings,together.
Hell ya man I’m so happy for you! Those kiddos have a bright future after your tragic loss because of the outlook you chose to have. You are killing it!
Thank you so much for this comment! Means the world!
I cant even express how happy I am for you and your familly as well as Jessica and hers. Thats a trully beautiful story, Maddy and Tyson are watching over you, and smilling at your happiness ❤
Congratulations! It sounds like Maddie & Tyson brought you two together. May you live a long, happy life as a family of 7. 🙏🏻
Love you Chan! And we love Jessica so much. And remember the lost loved ones every day with you guys. ❤️❤️❤️

Your family with Maddy is exemplary to me. You are very good, caring parents and strong people. I hope everything goes well for you and Jessica
Couldn't be happier for you and the kids. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
You deserve to be happy and so do your kids. Your journey has touched many lives. My mom was a widow and my step dad was wonderful father to me. I've watched your story and I'm familiar with that deadly plane crash of a couple years ago, such a tragedy. God has a plan for all us, the Plan of Happiness!!!
I found your videos a year ago and am so happy for you. It's amazing to see how God has carried your family through all of this. I'm also a hopeful real estate investor, so I look forward to more of that content too!
I'm inspired by her life and the love she showed in the dying process. #maddystrong *We are all better humans making our way through this messy life because you shared her with us!*
First time I’ve see this channel and want to say how beautiful your story is. There is no reason people can’t love and grieve at the same time who better to understand you than someone who is in the same situation. Wonderful for all of you to have someone to share the journey with.
I’m glad you have found love again. God bless you and your family!
When I saw the title I was shocked, but I'm so happy for you.
You are so right , when you lose someone you love it doesn’t get easier , you get stronger in time .
We’re here for you brother. Good to have you back!
What a beautiful story. I think this new family, is exactly what your 2 beautiful kids needed. And you as well. I wish you all the best..
Oh my word Chandler, I have no idea who you are. I just stumbled upon this video. I’m crying tears of joy and happiness for family
Absolutely designed by Maddy and Tyson! So happy for both of you and your children, you are a beautiful family ❤
It's like it was meant to be.. kids are perfect age and what a great family formed... You all are so blessed❤
