Your feelings are yours and they’re real, don’t ever feel the need to justify them. Sorry for your loss.

It is ok to grieve for someone that u haven't been around in a long time. The loss takes you back to remembering the good times. Don't blame yourself how things turned out. You are a wonderful person.

I understand exactly. Parents divorced when i was 3. I chased him my whole childhood until I got pregnant at 16 (1990) and he laughed. Never saw him again. He died in 2012. He never made an attempt to see me my entire life. At that moment I knew he never wanted me. Wondering if is too painful and will never go away. Out of habit, I catch myself doing it. The little girl that wants her dad to love her. I have my dad that raised me too and he is the most wonderful man next to my grandpa. But.......... I send you all positive vibes and strength for teaching! Good luck 🌼

My life is almost identical to yours. My father decided to get in touch with me 50 yrs. Late. I felt nothing for him. He passed in 05. There was no feeling on my part. I had my mother and other family members whom I loved very much.

I’ve been crying with you. I too, have grieved the loss of the parents who “made me” and the stepdad who helped raise me. I lost my mom very early (she was only 39 & I was was only 20). And 2 1/2 yrs later, my dad was murdered (Sadly, by the woman he left my mom for). I’ve had some really hard bumps in the road of my 63 yrs of life, but I’ve chosen to take the good memories over the bad ones and see how blessed I truly am. I have a wonderful husband of 43 yrs. Three wonderful children (2 by birth & 1 by marriage) and the icing on the cake is my most precious 9yr old (very crafty😉) granddaughter. I’m right there with you in being so OVER the uncertainty of this year. I miss the way life “used to be.” I don’t know you personally, but keeping up with you through your channel makes me feel as though you’re actually a friend. Since the pandemic started, I had to quit watching the news (Ever since my teen years, I’ve ALWAYS read the local paper & watched local & national news on tv). I even quit watching tv in general. I just turn to my favorite KZread channels & other social media sites to find a much happier content! My prayers are with you as you work through your grieving process❤️

Isaiah 26:3 says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." ... Just trust God through all this. HE'S GOT YOUR BACK!!!! He is SO good to us all....

The God who hung the stars is holding all his children in the palm of his mighty hand. Peace unto you beloved!

I feel your pain. Whenever you lose your parents you feel like an orphan, no matter how old you are. Often men don't know how to show their live and feelings. Just believe he lived you in his way.

Why is it when our parents make a mistake the child takes on their mistake & shame? Be strong and know this is not for you to carry, it's God's. God will gave you the strength to move forward and forgive, he will comfort your heart. You are stronger then you know, with God all things are possible. Just put your on the floor in and move. Be thankful for the day and do your best, that's all you have. You are powerful!

Grieving for what should have been, with unanswered questions, is as painful as grieving for the loss of someone you saw often. Grieving for an absent parent who chooses to not be involved is awful and leaves a child with so many questions. It's lost time you can't get back and certainly weren't responsible for the loss. Praying for the peace the Lord will give you.

I was lucky and blessed to have both my parents in my life. My Dad has been gone 31years this month and a younger sister 32 years this month. My Mom passed in January 1999. We were a large family and after Mom passed there wasn't another loss until May 25 th of this year and our older brother passed. The worse part of the last 15 days of his life he was hospitalized and we couldn't see him. We talked on the phone as long as he was able, but the fact that no one could be with him and say I love you, hug him, hold his hands is so hard to deal with. I am very sorry for the loss of your Dad, Mother, and sister. I pray for your husband and son that GOD keeps them safe and healthy. May HE also bless you and the rest of your family.

First please thank your husband and son for their service. Second as a wife and mom of first responders thank you for your service. I don't think we thank the spouses enough. Thank you again. Remember we all grieve differently and at different paces. You are a very strong person and sharing your feelings makes you even stronger. Keep talking about how you are feeling because it will help. Remember you are loved. You are a very beautiful person both inside and out. By talking about this and sharing you may be helping others get through their pain. Thank you for sharing.

Amen Karen u are so right

I home schooled my sons through high School. Best decision ever! I was scared that I wouldn't be a good teacher. Turns out, I learned to be a better parent, as well a teacher. Meaning you'll do great

Kelly you can drive yourself insane with "what ifs," "could haves,". Don't let the guilt overcome you. There was nothing you could have done to keep him alive longer. Remember the Good memories! Keep them in your heart. Always.

Easy to say, “hardships are the tools by which god fashions us for better things”. Harder to live through. Rely on those you can. I believe as a parent he never stopped loving you even though the separation happened.

Kelly, you have just given us all the words and the emotion that we are all feeling. You personally have had one heck of a load to carry! You deserve a break...mama can't take care of the family if mama ain't taking care of herself. Drive...cry...find a sanctuary and " just be". Grief is a wild beast...you can't outrun it. There is no way on this earth that your blood didn't love you. You are most deserving of the love.

Jesus can heal you everywhere you hurt. Trust Him.

Your such a good mother. God is gonna see you through this all. Much love and prayers to you, your family and all here. ❤️💯🙏🏻🐶🐶

Kelly, thank you for sharing - hearing what your husband, your son face every day really brings this pandemic into focus. Your love and commitment to being the loving nurturing mom, wife that your are is so admirable. Of course you are going to grieve the loss of your bio dad - he was your dad. Your love for John takes nothing away from your biological dad, no matter how long since you last spoke. Sending you love and prayers and a huge Thank You for the first responders in your family.💜🙏🏼

I know this must be extra difficult without your husband being able to physically console you with a hug or kiss. I am praying for you and your family, for healing and peace.

My mantra too “It’s temporary. It’s temporary. It’s temporary.” Blessings and hugs to you. This too shall pass🙏🏽

Ty for this...i think you feel as we all do right now. Afraid for our kids, uncertain if I'm doing the right thing, bored to tears, worried about bills, food and just survival. I'm sorry about your Dad and I hope your heart heels and everything gets easier for us all. Ty for this I cried with you

Please, sweetie, dont ever think that any of that distance was something you caused! You did not! Just know that you are loved by so many! And we are all praying for you and your family!💜

I’m so sorry for your loss. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, he is still you dad. I’m praying for the peace of God will fill you completely.

Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear everything you're going through. Stay strong in your faith and everything will be ok. These are tough times for sure. We live in Central Florida but have a home in WV, too. We came to WV for our granddaughter's hs graduation. We've been here for 3 mo. now. Since Covid has made a come back in Florida we are having to remain in WV due to our age (70) and underlying health conditions. I'm thankful to have my home in WV but we are missing Florida. Please continue to be steadfast in what you are doing for your family. I've loved watching your videos about your family and also all your crafting videos. I'll pray for peace in your life and that your family will be safe.

I recently lost my sister and am having such a hard time. My heart goes out to you for your losses. I’m in grief counseling because I really need it. My counselor recommended a book for me to read. It has helped me understand the process of grief. I’m the oldest of 4 and I lost my first little sister. I’m in my 60s and the pain is unmeasurable. You have my most heartfelt condolences. The title of the book is “Living Through Personal Crisis.” By Ann Kaiser Sterns Ph. D. This book deals with all great losses. What I’ve learned is that grief comes with any type of great loss. So, I just wanted to share information that is helping me. God bless you! 🙏🏾

Kelly, I feel so deeply for you. My father and I hadn’t spoken for over a year when he passed away. It makes the grief process so much harder. Take care and remember the good.

I am so sorry....you can still talk to him, he hears you, and maybe he will give you a sign...

Can i just add a wee additional comment. Perhaps, like my Mum, your Dad was a Narcissist. Narcissists move on and when they get a second family, tend to ignore their first one. I tried my best to keep in touch with my Mum but she never even came to visit her grandkids but would send me pics of her step grankids, which hurt like hell. Perhaps it is the same with your Dad Kelly. Out of sight, out of mind is how a narcissist functions so if he didn't see you, unlike us normal people who would miss someone, they lack that ability and can literally put you out of their mind. You did your best to maintain contact, as did i and yip i too have no closure, no Mum saying i loved you, i am proud of you but Kelly the harsh fact is, even if alive, they wouldn't and deep down you know that and that hurts. We will never get the chance to hear them say it, explain why we were ignored, like you say, the door is closed and we are full of regrets and unanswered questions. Keep telling yourself that you would NEVER have gotten those answers. I'm so sorry Kelly ...you are loved by your family and hang onto that but i know as a loving Mum you will never understand why a parent can walk away. But like i said maybe he was personality disordered and couldn't help it and NOTHING you could've done, would have a different result. Big hugs from Scotland and be thinking of you and sending strength xxxxx

Thank you for being real and vulnerable. So sorry for your loss!

You are an amazing person who has suffered some tragic loss the past few years! But you are strong and smart and this too shall pass! God bless!

I made "In memoriam" scrapbook pages for my Mom and one for my Dad when they passed away and it really helped. I added a few pictures to the pages and it makes me feel warm inside to look at them

MAY GOD WRAP YOU IN THE COMFORT OF HIS ARMS. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND THE SITUATION WITHIN YOUR FAMILY. PRAYERS

I’m so sorry for the loss of your Dad & for everything you guys are going through right now. Sending you love & big hugs from Australia ❤️

Thank you for reaching out to us. You are not alone. You inspire so many of us, the least we can do is to be there for you to lean on, even if it’s virtually. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Kelly, my heart goes out to you and I'm sorry for your losses. My mom (my best friend) passed 10 years ago and my dad 1 year ago. It is difficult when your family diminishes. Its just not ever the same. I feel like I know you from watching you. You have such a special heart and love of your family. God bless all of you.

Stay strong honey this will all pass its hard to lose a parent and a sibling stay safe am praying for you and your family

You are so amazing. Everyone grieves differently. Everything you are going through is making you a stronger person. You got this sweet lady. Thank you for sharing

Praying for you at this time. You grieve the way you need to. Much love to you and just know there are so many people praying and thinking of you right now.

Oh my dear, you have so much on your plate right now and have had for a while. I have no wonderful words of wisdom for this. All I can say is pray. Pray to start your day, pray through out your day. End your day with prayer. Your father chose to not stay in your life. I am so sorry for your loss and all your stress. Of course you can grieve. It is a very normal thing, regardless of the relationship. My heart truly hurts for you.

Oh, Kelly, I'm so sorry. Just from watching you on this channel, you do everything with perfection, and you also have a very caring heart. Those two traits have a tendency to war against each other. I appreciate that you share your family and your life with us. You are so honest and an open book for us to read. Your thoughts help so many...especially about grieving. I believe we are suppose to share and encourage each other. This is your ministry for the moment, and you are doing a great job. Praying for you.

So sorry you're going through so much right now. Grieving is part of the healing process. Seems to me you did love your dad so cherish those memories you do have. I too have lost both my parents and a sister I was so close to. It was hard. I pray for God to give you all the strength you need as our families still rely on us moms, grandmoms. I do admit crafting is my getaway and feel at peace. God bless you Kelly. Thank you for sharing your story and your awesome crafts. 🙏♥️

The strength you have to be able to share your raw feelings in this way is truly a gift from God. You have just helped many who are experiencing similar pain. Thank you for this very powerful message.God bless you and your family.

I’m in a similar situation. My stepfather has raised me from 12 years old, I’m now 50. My biological father is still alive but I have no contact or relationship with him. I feel for you and please don’t apologize for grieving. It’s a natural emotion and one you’re entitled to have. Thank you for sharing such raw emotions, as I’m sure it’s not easy. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. 😘

Kelly I couldn't imagine having a Son and Husband on the frontlines, I feel for your worries, I hope with God's strength you will come out of this situation victoriously, I will pray for you and your family and please do not bottle this inside I wish I could reach out and give you a hug, Please try to stay strong you are Awesome. I hate to see you cry but I am always here for you whenever for whatever, We all love you so never forget how much we love you and thank you for everything, I am sorry for your loss but whatever did happen isn't your fault so please dont think that It's tough to try to figure things out. I know without a doubt that your Father loved you, no matter what. Maybe you could talk about this with your stepdad and he may hold the key you are searching for? Kelly I have a similar situation in my life with my parents and now they are both gone and it stays with me to, I pray about it alot and ask God to give me peace from all the doubt and questions I know I will never get the answer to, Stay strong and just know I am here if you ever need a good listener

I am so sorry for loss and your unanswered questions. You gave been through a lot in the last few years. So thankful and grateful for 1st responders. Your family is in my prayers.

You have so much on your plate, Kelly, grieve as you need to to do for as long as you need to. My heart goes out to you and your family, you are not alone, praying for you and your family!

So so sorry for your loss and for everything you are going through, I am praying for you and your family. I love watching your videos so when this video popped up I stopped the video I was watching to tune into to yours that’s how much I love you and watching your videos. I feel like you are a part of my family. I laugh and cry with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. It’s such a hard thing to go through under “normal” circumstances but with everything going on now it just makes things more difficult. You are doing amazingly well! Sounds like you are doing everything that you can possibly do for you and your family at this time. Listen to your heart and you will be fine. Prayers and thoughts to you and your family. Your biological Dad knows what was in your heart dear. Don’t have any bad feelings.

You are not crazy. You are human. So much loss and grief. It seems you have a good handle on what the grief is really about. Many people go through grief not really understanding why they would grieve for a person that had not been close to them. You are going to come through this in good shape. Though I know it sure doesn't feel like that now. You just need a break girl. You are an extraordinary woman in a very uncommon situation. Your grief is tripled, at least, by all the stressors. You have just been bombarded. Lean on God. He will see you through. Know that you are being held up in prayer daily even if you can't feed it. You are greatly loved. Prayers from Texas.

Kelly, I pray that the Lord will give you peace as you work thru the loss of your Dad, and that He will give you patience with yourself as you help your daughter with her on-line schooling. I also pray that the Lord will keep Jeff and Ray safe and bless your family with the strength, comfort, love and good health throughout this very trying time. Thank you for the videos that you post! Watching them gives me a little more confidence to try different crafts that I would never have considered trying before I started watching them.

Bless your heart Kelly! So sorry for all of your losses, you are in my prayers. 💔

Kelly my tears are flowing with yours. You described your cumulative daily stress now topped with grief of many kinds so eloquently. I admire your ability and willingness to be so vulnerable in a public setting. You are in my prayers. May God bless you and your family and fill you with his peace.

Awww, HUGS! Y'all are gonna get through this! We just have to believe that this is just a season...a long season albeit. You all will come out, better & stronger. We have to just do what is necessary. Do not blame yourself for the choices your father made...it is a parental choice that he made. You all were adults. He probably had issues he never wanted you to know. He may have been protecting you from the issues by staying away. At any rate, I am so sorry for your feelings of loss & grief.

So sorry, kelly. I’m sending prayers. You have been through so much, just know you are not alone...we r all in this together... allow yourself time.

So sorry for your loss. I completely get where you are at this point. Prayers for you all!

Oh Kelly, my heart breaks for you and the losses you have experienced. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your heart with us. Praying you will be comforted and your family will be protected and healthy

I'm so sorry for your losses. My dad died about 7 years ago. I miss him everyday. I still have my mom. She is almost 86. I just recently moved her into an assisted living facility near me. I visit her twice a week and talk to her on the phone twice a day. Keep your head up. We will get thru this.

I lost my sister and my dad. It’s been a few years now for each of them. I don’t cry so much but miss them everyday. My sister was my only sibling. Life is hard. We have to hang in there. Stay strong. My heart goes out to you! ❤️

Thank you for trusting us with your feelings. I could feel your sadness and frustration. Just take one day at a time. Holding you in prayers. Have faith, be safe, be well!

Your courage is an inspiration to us all. Thank you so, so much for sharing your grief (and understanding). Grief is touching us all in theses days and we have limited outlets for reaching out. Creative and loving person, you are a light in this dark world 💕.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I feel you have expressed what the entire world is feeling and going through right now and this magnitude of stress is unprecedented and overwhelming. We all need to be thankful for what we do have because there are so many who have less right now. You have a good support system and a healthy attitude. That right there is huge. Sending you love, light, strength and Big Hugs. xo

I was in tears. Really felt your pain. I'm so sorry for your loss. But many here have great words for you on this. Better than I could come up with. But on the topic of school. I think you made the right choice for your situation. Having another person out there possibly getting exposed is not what you need. It will be one less thing to worry about. I think you have what it takes to face the challenges of homeschooling. You are smart, creative and focused. Don't worry so much about it. Just see yourself as a facilitator which is how many of us educators have been trained to be for our students. There are so many resources out there now it's incredible. Whatever you don't know, there Is someone that does. I'm sure you can also network with other parents for support and guidance. Don't go it alone. Keep in close touch with the teachers and ask for help when or if you need it. Just Offer grace because this is still fairly knew to educators as well.I will be rooting and praying for you.

I wasn't talking to my dad when he died. I grieved for what should have been a good father daughter relationship. I still cried. You're in my prayers.

It’s okay to feel that way, like you said this was the person that made you and more than grieving him is grieving the unknown and the never getting answers and closure. My husband lost his biological father as well and had not spoken to him since the day his father closed the door on him and his family due to domestic violence and that was 19 years ago. My husband grieved his passing feeling guilt for having to feel that way towards a horrible person that did nothing but hurt him. Thought it’s not the same in your situation, your grieving is valid, it’s your own, and valid. We all grieve in our own way. Your not alone, sending much love to you and your family love 💕

Irma Gonzalez ......it is both unfortunate and fortunate the impact these awful moment life throws at them. They have definitely shaped my husband to drive to be the best father and husband his father never got to be. But also is over protective with us because there so many things that trigger him to think back to moment he lived through at the presence of his father. And the worst part of the dark moment is the resentment that comes with triggers and memories.

Love you Kelly!! I am so sorry for your loss! You have the sweetest heart!

My condolences to you and your family. Keep pushing forward. You’ve got this!

Hi Kelly, as one who did traditional homeschooling of my two from kindergarten through 12th, I would not have traded it for anything in the world. Was it always easy, no way, but so worth having those years and being so much a part of their schooling lives. My son has a full time job and has received "employee of the month" twice and "employee of the year". My daughter is going into her fourth year of university. It's going to be different this coming year; she will still be going to stay at university and not at home. She is now making plans for veterinarian school and possibly the Army. Traditional homeschooling meant that I had to plan out all my kids curriculum, and everything. On-line schooling is different but very doable. I'm positive you will do a fantastic job in assisting her through this year. Take it one day at a time and before you know it, the end of the school year will be here again. YOU CAN DO THIS! Stay tough, you're stronger than you realize.

Same here.

Well. This was a sad video. Like it just hit differently. Lately I’ve been going through some real tough stuff and my emotions are just so crazy I legit can’t even cry properly anymore. And this video just got me right in the heart. THESE feelings are so normal and happen every day to some one. And I feel like there’s not a lot of talk about it, like on this level. And your video just really did that. It broke my heart, but also in a good way almost. Like I relate to you. And it’s okay that we’re sad about things and hurting and we’re hurting together. Big big hugs!!!! Even though we’re not really together in person, we’re all in this together.

You're such an inspiration! It took guts to express such deep emotion to the world. Thank you for allowing us in and reminding us we are not alone. I was a first responder and my sister still is. I can relate with all of your feelings! Wake up each day with a grateful heart and remember everything happens for a reason... Even in sad times. I know it does not make it comfortable, but you are so lucky to have an amazing husband and family by your side. You also have all the viewers out there cheering you on! Saying an extra prayer for you and your loved ones. Thank you for your investment in this channel/community and all the inspiration you share! Stay strong!

So sorry for your loss. I hear you about all the concerns and being so tired dealing with all of the Covid disruption that we all have been going through.

Feel your heartache. I'm certain the stress and strain of the Covid is adding to depths of your despair. Please turn to Faith in God to see you through the hardest times. Feel His arms around you since you cannot wrap yourself in your husband's comforting embrace. You will handle online schooling just fine. Let Allie go at her own pace. No pressure. There are lots of resources you can use. You are not alone, count your blessings that you can be home with her. Hugs.

It’s a lot Kelly. Sometimes we need to slloooow down and breathe. Take a breath, self care. It will be ok. It will. School won’t be perfect this year it’s just day by day. Tired is definitely the word.

That's not your fault hun you where the child and he's still your dad you have a right to feel the way you do he's with god now looking down on you with love.I'm so sorry your feeling this way praying for you and your family,

You are such a strong woman. You've been through so much. Praying for your healing heart. I don't even know you, but feel like I do, just by watching your videos. Sending you a giant hug and lifting you and your family up in prayer.

Oh honey I am so sorry .I can relate to all of this and I think you are just precious for being so very real ,raw and honest .I am so grateful you still have John to lean on and love.Prayers for all of you to come through this mess safely

I’m praying for you Kelly, I haven’t even met my biological dad, he knows about me and chose not to make a effort to met me. He has a wife and other kids. About 18 years ago I had the opportunity to met my dads brother and his family and a cousin from my dads side they were the only ones who reached out and wanted to get to know me. There are a lot of unanswered questions I have but I know it’s something that is out of my control and all I can do is live in the now and keep moving forward with the people that want to be in my life. I can’t even imagine going through all you are going through, I hope things get better so we all can get to that normal but all we can do is take it one day at a time. Your a wonderful person and look forward to seeing your DIY’s and I’m so appreciative for you. 🙏❤️

Big hugs to you too Joanne. So many of us have gone through heartache and Kelly's story brought some of the pain back but.... all the thoughts and comments directed at Kelly are helping me too. Kelly is very special, I only know her from her website but her kind heart shows through. Kelly just know we all feel your pain and we are all sending you virtual hugs. You too Joanne.

I feel for you in your struggles Kelly! Be strong and courageous. You will be in my prayers.

So sorry you’ve been struggling with all this. So sorry for your loss. You’ve definitely been going through a lot!! However, You’re so strong! Keep moving through this, eyes forward! We love you! You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you!
