Oh I love to hear about your lives. So much fun times. God bless you for the wonderful work you do at the hospital. What a tremendous blessing yo the families. Eternal rewards. Happy Birthday Brandom. 🎉
I love your kind hearts. Your love for Jesus is real, we see it in your lives. You truly are salt & Light Matthew 5:13-16 My heart breaks for you so I pray the Lords will for you. I have watched you grow up on bringing up Bates… you’re such a beautiful woman and now couple. Happy 9 th anniversary ❤🙏🏻🥰
What a beautiful couple you are! Watching this happy video was ever so enjoyable. Thank you for all you do for others. Love and blessing from my home to yours. 💕🙏🏻🏡
Something I've learned through having a life filled with trauma of various kinds is to treasure what you do have when you're hurting over what you do not have. That is NOT to minimize what you long for in any way, but to find joy in those times by realizing the blessings you already have. I live with brain tumor symptoms 24/7, have had 10 brain surgeries and will need them the rest of my likely-shortened life (I'm 38 right now), and will never have a family of my own. Even if I somehow got married tomorrow, I'd never want to pass my medical issue on to a child, and no way would I qualify to adopt. But I am positive I'll never marry because I'm housebound and I also wouldn't want to make any man my caretaker from the beginning. ("In sickness and in health" is real, but I think going into a relationship where you have never been able to give what the other person would have to give, from day one, is different.) I hope you guys are able to rejoice in having each other through the moments when you yearn to have a child as well. As much as I'd love children, I'd really love a husband and knowing I won't have one or the children I dreamed of raising all my life crushes me more than words can say, especially watching almost everyone around me have "their person." And in turn, I have to know that I have extended family others would long for so I'm blessed in that way when others are not. It's all a matter of finding the blessings you do have while mourning the ones you don't. I hope you are able to find those blessings and that they are balm in the pain you do experience. And of course, live in hope that one day those prayers will be answered in the way you hope.
❤I love the way you have embraced your life together without children of your own. The way you give to others thru volunteer ing and staying involved in the lives of your nieces and nephews is such a beautiful testimony to the mercy of God!! I hope that someday you will be someday you too will be blessed with a family too. ❤I love your story of hope!
I absolutely adore the both of you!! Just got finished watching all 10 seasons of Keeping up with the Bates and had many tears and much laughter. Thank you for sharing your lives with us
