I teared up when he was holding on so tight to you!! So so sweet!! Loved it when he laughed at Bandit ! So glad you guys had a such a great time. The music you use for your videos are so calming and beautiful, you always use the right song for each video just wonderful! So glad your health has been great so you can enjoy life again . My son Trevor is leaving tomorrow ( bright eyed and bushy tailed,yeah right LOL! ) to go to Colorado,he and friends are going to visit a friend that going to college out there to be a Vet. So now I worry about his flight and now this virus going around. I am sick right now and feel awful but I just had to watch your video before I lay back down ,so tired with whatever I have,no fever Thank God ,just tired,runny nose and a little cough,probably just a cold.

When my husband and I returned from the Philippines and picked up our children my son looked at us and began to wail...only because he had sooo much fun with the family who was keeping him and he didn't want to leave them, and my daughter was happy to see us: that saved my hurt feelings.

    Xander must have missed both of you all that time. I am glad both of you take the effort to spend couple quality time together. These are the little things many wedded couple ignore but essential to nurture beautiful married relationship=foundation of a healthy family apart from worshipping God. In itself; by doing so, in the spirit of honouring God is worshipping.

    This was a beautiful testimony- for the beauty of God's creation to the elation of His answered prayers (I believe ALL prayers are answered. Some just might not be what you thought) (and when God closes a door, He doesn't open a window - God is not going to make it HARDER for you to do something. If He desires for you to do something, although the task might be difficult, He's not going to ADD hardship to you)
    This was a wonderful series...and I'm kinda sad it's done.🙁 Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful adventure with us. 😊
