Sorry about ur mom. I lost mine 7 yrs ago (but who's counting?)... when I'm sad, it makes me feel a whole lot better if I talk to her just like I did when she was alive... and then I ask the angels (or whatever spirit is listening) to please make sure my mom gets that message. Maybe light a candle for your mom on her birthday, and on other holidays that she believed to be special too.

You've got to always take care of your mom think of how long she took care of you

Worst argument ever. You put children in this world to love them, not to train them into nurses. Love is what makes you care for somebody, not duty. Duty is the worst form of motivation. Duty is ugly. Personally, my mom made my life an absolute hell... of course she fed me and clothed me - but that's the minimum. An orphanage will do the same. I don't owe anything to her - nor to my dad. It's almost a curse to be born in this mad world, she should excuse herself. She should feel sorry for bringing me here without being ready to love me. She smoked cigarettes all day long. Almost choked to death in her smoke. I don't care what your parent did or did not do for you - you have no duty towards them. They made the choice to have children. The child has the choice to be free.

My mom always went above and beyond I'll do whatever I can to care for her before putting her in any nursing home especially during theses times.

Aw! The look on Cruz’s face when he realized that he didn’t get a present. My heart just melted! He is such a wonderful companion. I hope one day I get the chance to meet both of you. Keep the videos coming, and ❤️ and 🤗 to you both.

Just lost my mom this year. My sister and I took care of her last few weeks of her life. That was extremely tough physically mentally and emotionally!! It made my sister and I both stronger individuals in life and I feel that was the last lesson that my mom had to teach to her daughters. Way to go mom great job raising two very strong daughters. We love you and miss you every single day!!

Life is just like that. Nothing really goes as planned but I love the way you tend to see the bright side of things. It’s great to see a son taking care of his mom.

You're such a nice son! My son did the same thing for my bed, building a frame higher so when I get out of bed, my feet almost touch the floor. SO MUCH EASIER!

Stagg Chili was a FAVORITE of mine when I was living out of an old beat-up camper through a brutal Duluth, Minnesota winter. I'd lay down a layer of cornbread mix in a 9x9 baking pan, spread Stagg Chili over the top of that and liberally sprinkle chedder cheese blend over the top. Bake it per the cornbread directions in my propane oven and have myself a nice hearty "Chili Bake"!! Yummy!!

You know, you’re blessed when you have your mother and father to talk with you..

Raising up your mum’s couch...so sweet. Hubby raised My mom in law (RIP) living room chair, and she had a Cheshire Cat grin on her face to see the results. The look on her face was priceless.

Chrome, I watch you and Cruise all the time. You're a cool dude. I enjoy all the love you have for life. I'm an old lady just starting out and really appreciate your zest for life. I have Standard Schnauzers and enjoy watching how much a dog means to you. Life is what you make of it!!

You are sweetheart . Love the way you are taking care of your mother

Poor baby Cruz, he's not a bad boy, he's just a bored boy. I know how much you love him, he's just a baby and a rebel like his daddy 💙

The only thing in life we can control is our attitude... You are in charge of how you react OR respond to what life gives you... Thanks for the reminder Chrome. Hug Cruzy for me.

Hey buddy! You are a Great guy. I’m thankful you still have your Momma, I miss my Momma deeply. I do still have my daddy who is 91 and travels with me. He’s really cool. Never thought I would drink a beer with my dad Crome. Have a super weekend and hugs to you and CRUZ! MommaFaye 🌺

Crome it gave me warm fuzzies to know how much you love ❤️ your mom and how you help her out when needed . Peace and a beautiful, wonderful life to you Both ♥️🙏♥️🙏🐶

The Power of Positive Thinking! Enjoy your Mama! Have a great day!

Dude I just played my husband the part about how you try to find the best in life. He's impressed and loves your attitude. Keep smiling and laughing. Love your vids.

Dont get too exited for the re-routing of one days plans for your moms serious needs. I've been taken care for my mom three days a week, for eighteen years straight. Gotta juggle life and own family and study and work around that gravitational center. Changing one days plans is .... just that: one days plans. Other than that: I love the overall positivity you're expressing constantly 👍

It’s great that you were still close enough to help her out! Never take for granted Mom!

It makes me happy to see you are able to see the bright side of your life, as everyone should, and taking care of your mom. I lost my mom when I was 29, she was 50 (Lupus). I miss her so much and have to bite my tongue so hard every time I hear someone bitching about or avoiding their mom. ❤️

Make the most of your mum - I lost both my parents suddenly within 3 days of each other from covid back in April. After caring for them for 12 years I just feel lost and miss them so much x

I was devastated when my dad died. He was a huge part of my life and I came to love him so much more in different ways over the years. He had just past his 91st birthday in November less than month earlier, and only 11 days before Christmas in 2014. Mom took her life in September 2006, a few months after their 60th wedding anniversary, after years of bad health. Honor your parent(s) as they are always a part of you- make them proud of you😿😸

Chrome , its always my motto to "look at the glass as half full as opposed to half empty. " Big Hug to you and Cruzzy. I'm glad you were able to help your Mom. You're a great son.

Sending all the positive vibes your moms way. Much Love ❤️

I like when things don't go as planned...it adds a little spice to your day. Keep your chin up bro.

Just when I thought, another “Chrome Talkie” You inspired my heart. Take care of you Mom; mine passed a few years back. Life just ain’t the same after that, no matter your success or achievement....

I had the same problem with my couch because it was pretty much on the floor. I couldn’t get of the couch without holding on to a table.I really bad legs. I bought a new couch that is really firm that helped a lot but I know it takes money I had to save for it. But what helped me is a I but a piece of very firm foam under the cushions and it helped a lot. You find it a craft store

Glad yr mom is OK. She's a great lady. Always a lesson in everything. Y guy are awesome.

Glad your mom is doing well. My father just turned 78 on December 7, and he still lives at his house with his second wife (10 years younger). I have nothing against age difference, but they are happy and enjoying life. And I love it, I hope he has my more years to come.

Ty for the update of your mom, we re-connected yesterday, she is a fiesty girl, so glad to have her as a friend.

Prayers for your mom's independence. Love your videos.

This vid brought back memories of helping my sister. She passed this spring. We went on little adventures.... just to stores she had never been to before. I was the only way she got out so I wanted to give her memories. No regrets. Her doing epic Sheepdip was not the same as others... we still did it and it still mattered.

Thanks for the smile, Chrome. Lovin' your energy.😘

Such is life, things sometimes just do not go as planned.. 🙋‍♀️

Your mom has a loving & handy son who came up with solutions! PRICELESS!!

Yup! Hear ya on the smoke smell. LOL Cruzie opening the gift! Ha! Best wishes to your mom. 💜😉👍🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎅

Great thinking of your moms couch. I was blessed to get hurt at work, am disabled and was able to be her caregiver for 6 years when dementia took hold. We were able to spend quality time together prior to her death. Sure miss her, her love and encouragement. 💔

Glad your mom is ok, they make assisted seats that help a person rise slowly, so she can slowly transition to another seat. Stay safe man. 👍🏼

Chrome, I am in a wheelchair, have only 1 leg, and getting UP off the couch to get into the wheelchair got so difficult, I stopped using the couch. I learned that day beds are built much higher, so I buy those. (I have two) fill them with big beautiful pillows and they work great as a couch, a place to take a nap, a guest bed, and so easy to get into the wheelchair and out.

Great job at raising the couch it’s way easier to transfer to the chair, bed , Toilet might need a raised seat and grab bars are very helpful in the bathroom and bedroom Glad to see how fast you respond to your mothers needs

Glad mom is OK. and Cruzies' Nose needed care. Glad you met a fan...

Prayers for Mom. Family is everything. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🎄 Love the Nichols Family Pilot Mountain N. C. ⛄️🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼❄️🎄⛄️❄️🤶🏼🎅🏼❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

LMAO, Mr. Cruzee you are the cutest. Love him.

I always like the mr. Rogers shoe changes lol am I the only one who likes these for background life noise?

Edwin Caywood (commenter) made a great suggestion about getting her a transfer board. There's also another variation of that called a Beasy board that could help your mum from her chair to wheelchair. There are also chairs/recliners with lifting and lowering capabilities. Those are pricey, but can help with the mobility issues and prolong her independence/self-reliance.

AHOY! Keep making a Living of Life; not a dying! Merry Christmas! Cheers! to you both, and all those you touch along your journey.

Yeah man, save her from 'the home' while it's practical. I know I don't want to be sent off before my time. Being institutionalized usually means losing the rest of ones mobility.

I like short winter days it reminds you to take a break and relax.

I watch Grey's Anatomy on Netflix too. With all the Van living channels I've seen I like how you have your van decked out. You seem to have your ducks in a row. You and Cruize stay safe up there. I'm really enjoying this channel.

Hope you read this. I'm 70 years old....you have made my life better, thank you!

Cruzie is so cute, you sure take care of him!! Love your videos, so positive and can’t wait for you to come on!! 🤗🤗

I love watching your shows! And your dog is precious!! I just love him!

get your mom a slide transfer board. used to work as an aide and these simple boards are lifesavers. simple and easy. works almost anywhere, up or down "hills."

So glad your mum is doing ok. I lost my mum nearly 17 years ago and still miss her terribly. It’s lovely to see you taking care of yours 💕x

Just found your channel and I want to thank you for your positive outlook on life. I sure am missing Van and my Canadian family during this years holidays. I love seeing your holiday decor and your day to day. My husband and I also live with our bully in a vintage RV in the Seattle area. Thank you for sharing your handsome pup and amazing energy with us. Stay safe, stay warm and stay blessed. 🐶❤️

My Mum had COPD and I was her carer and I didn't mind at all because she had a hard life before my Dad came along and was a very strong woman, looking after the person who bought me into the world and cared for me right to the end deserves the best carer, their daughter 😥

OMG I think it's cruise is so funny. He tried to open your present and then didn't care about his food he wanted what you were eating. Funny stuff. Have better day tomorrow at the brewery. The Wolfman

Bother I enjoy your videos so much , I am disabled and not being able to just go has taken some toll on me. But when I see throw your eyes I smile on the in side helps remind me I'm not giving up yet. Thank You kind Sir

Thanks for the video. Hope the best for your mom. Just received my stickers in the mail, so happy. I'm ordering a light blue hoodie right now, also a couple of jeffy bear stickers. Say hi to cruz for me lol.

Always look on the brightside. Silverlinings can be found, keep looking keep shinning.

Keep positive. All the best for your Mom.

LOL. It cracks me up how little Cruise just turns around and shame when it's time for his nose butter. I really need to get me a dog when I go full-time van life next month

You're a great guy for so many reasons and I am so impressed with your service! I ordered stickers yesterday and they were shipped out to me within a couple of hours of ordering! Wow, now that's service! Thankyou, have a great day😷💕🇨🇦

I love that you watch Grey's Anatomy! And that you help your mom. 💜

I enjoy your videos everyday. You make me smile seeing your life. We live vicariously through you. Thank you.

Thanks for the smiles you gave me today. Have a great week.

Glad to know that your mom is okay. I know what you mean about the cigarette smoke, that gives me a headache. Poor Cruz, I hope he gets something for Christmas. Love you guys.

I used bed risers and lifted couch perfect height and sturdy

I used to be a bartender back when they allowed smoking in the bars I hated that smell too, I changed my clothes before I went home but like you say it gets into everything, hot showers and hot water laundry. Still to this day its a smell I don't like, I did a photo shoot last year and someone kept smoking by my gear, I asked them not to, I had to use simple green on my camera bags.

I’m so glad you still have your mom! Every day is a gift and I enjoy watching you unwrap each day with your positivity and joy! Thank you for sharing your days with us!

I'm glad your Mom is doing well and hope she stays safe, happy, and well for many more years to come.

So glad she is doing ok❤️

I love your positive vibes. You always say the right things!!!

Chrome , your an inspiration! Loving your content. Really great to watch and to travel with you and cruise! Thankyou for sharing your very special time🙂

You leave that baby alone. He’s to cute to get in trouble. Lol

I work in the Human Services field in the USA. Your mom might just need some in-home services. I don't know Canadian Healthcare but I would guess she could be approved for a few hours per day or week for a home health care aide to come to her house to help her bath, minor cleaning, cooking if needed, medication monitoring and general assistance. My job was to keep older adults in their home by making sure they could get the services to help them maintain their independence longer because Assisted Living and Nursing Homes have an impact on the longevity of patients once they lose independence and are placed in these facilities. Check into home services under Canadian Healthcare to see if she qualifies and she probably does based on her mobility. I hope this helps and have fun on your trip.

Yes, totally agree, plus the local health board should also have info on fall prevention (which could be an issue couch to chair), in-home physio or OT to help build strength, and equipment recommendations and loans. I realize Chrome doesn't read comments but hope an admin gets him thinking about interventions that help her stay where she wants to be.

You should pitch Cruz for the "December 2021 Guilty Dog" Calendar! Hehehe! Also, have you looked into a "transfer board" for your Mom? It may help if she has enough upper body strength to raise up a bit and scoot her bum along with the board. The board can be used to get in and out of different situations (bed, car, couch, chair). It's a very simple piece of equipment that works pretty well (IMHO). I'm a caregiver for the elderly and quadriplegics. Please forgive if my suggestion is redundant.

Your positively is infectious Chrome! You inspire me to be better in these trying times. Hope that solution worked for your mom's mobility issue. Stay Blessed 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

Chrome, keep the faith! I’m always trying to look at the world as a glass half full as well! My wife and I went through similar with my MIL (she lived with us), and we faced the struggles of keeping her healthy. We had to bring her to the hospital after a fall, and tearfully we had to admit to the hospital that we couldn’t keep her safe from herself. Keep doing everything you can for her but also, having been in a similar “boat”, keep your wits about you. You will recognize challenges to your Mom’s safety before her ego will let her face the same reality. And also an IPA guy here, but I’ve got a Quad Hopped, Imperial IPA from one of my favorite breweries for ya if they ever open the border again and you’re in the Niagra area!

I was out helping my elderly parents today too. It can be a hassle sure, but I am glad to still have them. Blessings to you both!

I have just found your channel. Great and appreciated positive messages taken from it. Merry Christmas to you and your mum, safe and many happy adventures to you and all. John. UK.

nice to see you taking care of your mother, getting up there in age myself and I am also concerned about losing my mobility, not fun getting old, also agree with you on the cigarette smoke, totally disgusting.

You have a positive attitude towards life! You have a fan from half way across the globe here in Malaysia! - Talib
