Thank you all for the sweet sweet comments❤️ they have meant so much to me! I know many have been asking for an update- After spending every single day with him since his diagnosis, my dad passed this morning (January 8th, 2020). We miss him terribly, but know he is free of all his physical conditions that have left him so ill for so many years. 💔🙏🏻 I love and miss you so much dad🤟🏻
“I’ll know him before you will......and when he’s due, I’ll send him down”..........a man who knows God. God bless all of you as you walk this intersecting journey of life between your child and your father........you’re all in my prayers. Amen.
RU-vid randomly suggested this video to me. I’m crying so much, I don’t know y’all but I can’t control these emotions! This is so cute but yet so sad. My heart hurts for y’all! When your dad said when he’s due, I’ll send him down........ I lost it 😭😭😭😭😭❤️
Omg me too!!! Balling over here!! I lost my dad last almost 7 months ago and then i found out i was pregnant in September after having a hard time conceiving and i wish i could tell my dad hes gonna have another grandbaby. I believe my dad is watching over my unborn baby. This hit my heart bad!
“I’ll send him down ...” I felt that in my soul. He will take good care of Miloh. I’m not crying. You’re crying!!!! Congratulations!!! Merry Christmas!!! Xoxo
I am 22, my dad passed away 3 months ago. His biggest wish was to see me have my babies (I've been married 4 years), my biggest consolation is knowing he got to meet them before I did. Loved this video❤
When he said “I’ll know him before you do.” I lost it! I’m currently 35wks with a little boy. My grandfather who was like my father passed away and I know he is protecting him and watching over us throughout this journey. I’m so sorry you’re losing your dad, but I am so happy God gave you this new life to look forward to. Congrats!
Same with my son. I was 7 months pregnant and my only dad my grandpa passed away he was the only person in my entire family I knew loved and cared for me. I miss him so much but know hes watching over my kids
Definitely my mum passed away when my neice was 4 months pregnant and all the time I know she is watching little abby Jane. And my nephews 2boys meekah and mani. 😘
When my husbands mom passed away, I got pregnant the next month. My daughter looks just like his mom and I really believe she knew he needed something to help with that void she left. I hope you have a wonderfully uneventful pregnancy and birth and you have all my condolences for your dads passing.
First off, there will be many typos because of how much I’m crying.. but my heart hurts with you Ashley. The pain of losing a father is so hard. Praise God for the gift of life you have and praise God that you’ll have these videos to cherish for the rest of your life. Your dads last days are absolutely beautiful and you can see so much joy in his eyes. Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏼
I’m not gonna lie, I’m ugly crying. The end is so emotional. My dad lived with us his last 6 months and passed June 3rd while I held his hand. The transformation of what cancer does to a persons body and soul is heartbreaking. You all look so close. What a special gift to be giving life when one is being taken away. God bless each of you 💕
Ya these tears are falling in real time watching this, “I’ll send him down”!!! I hope you always feel the love of your daddy, as he will always love you.
I USED TO HATE THESE STUPID PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEOS. THIS IS THE MOST LOVING, HEARTFELT VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ENDLESS BLESSINGS ❤️🎄🥰
Omg how beautiful....my nan passed away last month and she always told if i want a good life have 5 children...i stook at 4 and then on the anniversary of her death i find out in pregnant with my 5th baby and im 5 weeks....if thats not her sending me another baby i dont know what is...congratulations and merry christmas to you all xx
Nikki Bentley Is My Angel false. I knew at 5 weeks with each of my pregnancies. I was so sick couldn’t even keep water down. No other symptoms but that. They even did ultrasounds right away due to cramping from being so dehydrated.
Blessings Big Mama! Your dad got to meet his precious grandson before anyone else! Think about that.....he and your little boy got some heavenly time together. And your father is building a "home" for all to share one day: "there are many rooms in the Father's House".
Omg this is the world any thing can happen my father passed aye on 23 dec and same day i gave birth to my sweet little baby girl and i’m in uk and my parents and whole fAmily is in pak
You're dad saying he'll send him down and he'll know him before you just made me lose it. What a brave man facing what he's going thru. Congratulations on the pregnancy and many prayers for the unimaginable pain you're going thru. Merry Christmas!! 🙏❤🎅🤗
I will be 45 this year....i lost my Dad when i was 13 and my Mum when i was 26...the life without them is really sad , dull... ...i miss Them so much!! 😞😢 .You have wonderful family! All the best and God bless!
*This video really touched my heart. My mother in law passed in October of 2016 6 weeks after my son was born. We found out she had cancer 2 days before she passed. It was a huge shock for us all. She was my bestfriend so it was very difficult for me and it still is. When I was pregnant with my son she said if we had a girl we should name her Ginger Rose (ginger was her name). I told her I would only name my daughter ginger if she had red hair. Well about a year later we got pregnant with a little girl. We decided we would name her Ginger Rose no matter what. You could imagine the shock on our faces when she was born with red hair. She was truly sent from her Nana in heaven. Also I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with baby number 3. Congratulations on your new little buddle of joy❤*
This is just precious! My Dad will be 80 in July. And even though I am so grateful that we've had him for so long, I absolutely dread the day he leaves. Thank you for sharing this video! And congratulations on the new bun in the oven! God bless you all. Merry Christmas and happy 2020!
Omg Ashley this brought me to all the ugly crying!!! I am so happy and excited for you guys! At the same time I feel every ounce of hurt you are going thru right now, this was my family 2 years ago with my grandma. This brought back all the feels. It’s such a bitter sweet feeling being able to spend the holidays together but then also knowing it won’t be long. You guys are such a strong family as a whole, I’m so sorry but also so happy for you guys. Don’t feel like you have to post videos all the time, enjoy the time with your family!
Awww your dad is so adorable in that car lol. Riding in the front seat like a BOSS !! As he should, when he was doing the kawabunga hand signs lol.... I was done, so beautiful tho. God bless you and your family .... 😊😊
Oh my goodness, I cried like a baby several times during this!! What a beautiful celebration and memories to have! Congratulations on your sweet baby to be!! ❤️❤️❤️
As much as I cried, I smiled too! God bless you all! The smile on his face made my day! As hard as life is, there is so many wonderful things an people in the world! Giving him the best days of his life, wonderful video! May god bless you all! Especially your dad ❣️❣️❣️
I haven’t cried so many tears in one video in so long! Thanks for always keeping it real with us. You and your family are in my prayers. I pray this is healthy pregnancy and full of joyful moments. Pray 2020 is kind to you all ❤️
This came up in my recommended and I am so happy that it did. My husband and I always say love for today because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring, that was the sweetest most touching gift you could have given him for Christmas. He will always watch you and protect you! I’m bawling from happy & sad tears. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Rest in Love ❤ I can't stop crying just because he said that he'll send him down and that both broke my heart and put it back together, just in 4 words 😭❤ God is so good and he definitely has your Dad with him
This brought major tears and memories of my own! I also found out Christmas Eve I was pregnant and wrapped up my stick for my parents right before my Dad passed away. - this tore my heart - i pray for your whole family during this time.
wow. I am in tears. this is such a special day and what a moving video. my grandpa has been in and out of hospice and it is so hard to see a family member be in that situation. but what an amazing gift the church is. I am also a member and just knowing that families are together forever makes this whole process so much easier. thank you for sharing this video and congrats on the baby!
Omg your dad when he said I’ll send him down I broke down in tears. Congratulations another blessing in your family! I immediately thought of another set of twins 👯♀️ lol
Glad I watched before I did my makeup. 🥺 when I found out I was pregnant my dad was just diagnosed with cancer. My whole pregnancy I had dreams of two ships passing at night in the ocean. My father passed two weeks after my son was born, that dream resembled me losing my dad but gaining my son. Love your family and will continue to keep you all in my prayers and 🤞for a girl. 💕
Jessica Manning That’s so beautiful. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My husband’s amazing grandfather passed away 6 days ago at 97 years old and he had a similar dream, but it was representing his grandfather reuniting with his grandmother and his uncle in Heaven. Crazy how we have dreams like that, but comforting at the same time.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. What wonderful news. I'm so happy that you could share that with your family while your dad was still doing well enough to respond. The love from your whole family by the things you did for him is touching. Prayers for peace and strength for all of you in the days ahead.
Oh, Ashley! I'm at work watching this and trying so hard to keep it together! Smiling, then laughing, then smiling... I love watching your sweet family, your boys and Thomas! The love between the two of you is beautiful to see! God bless you all! I've sd a prayer for your daddy and you! Thank you for sharing something so personal and precious! I just want to hug each of you!
Just stumbled across this -- this is such a sharing from your heart -- I'm crying the big ugly cry --so much love and sweetness -- if only every family could share in that.
I was 4 months pregnant when my dad passed away. I did get to tell him. I wish my son would have met him. I’m so glad you were able to share the news. God bless you and your family. Prayers for your family.
Ashley, this is the most beautiful, heartbreaking, tearful video that I have ever watched. Congratulations, I am thrilled for the new baby. Your dad's tear & words threw me over the edge with tears. How beautiful those words are. My heart hurts for your family. I know how difficult this is. Enjoy the time you have & know he will forever be in your heart & thoughts . Sending you and your family many hugs, much love & many prayers. Ty for sharing these beautiful moments. Also want to add how gorgeous your holiday home decorations are.
I'm not even 5mins in and I'm balling. I'm so happy you were able to find the car for you dad (saw you post about it on facebook). And huge congrats on being pregnant. What a fantastic Christmas gift. Super excited for you to take us along that journey with you. And God bless you and your family and your Father. Thomas's reaction was so sweet. And your dad is too precious. "It's my pee dad" and he thought it was a thermometer. I just love your family and through all the heartache, there's still laughter.
We lost my mother-in-law to cancer almost 2 years ago. My heart aches for all of you. Congratulations on the new sweet baby. I hope you can all find comfort and peace in the time you have together. ♥️
Twenty-one yrs ago, my 7 yr old son was opening Buzz Lightyear toy, too. Twelve yrs ago in Oct our 12 yr old son died suddenly. Twelve yrs ago today my mother died suddenly, too. Middle son died 6 yrs ago when he was 21. Spent Christmas this yr with my 2 kids at husband 's relatives. Enjoying being alive to share in Jesus ' birth once again.
Janet Baker I am sorry for your losses . I lost my youngest boy to cancer at age 11 . I can’t fathom loosing another of my sons I feel so horribly heartbroken for you God Bless you . Merry Christmas 🎄
This was so moving! Bless your dad! My mom passed in 1996 of Colon Cancer. Before she passed I had a miscarriage which she helped me through. The night she passed she came to me in a dream and told me I would be pregnant with a girl! I got pregnant a few months later and had a baby girl. My dad was still with us and he had a bad heart. He got to see my baby be born and would visit me and her everyday he passed three months later! I knew he had to stay with me until she was born. Bless you and your family at this time. Congrats on your pregnancy! Sending love and hugs!!
Congratulations👏🏻 My pregnant self is balling😩 I myself am pregnant after 2 miscarriages with my rainbow baby🙏🏻 God bless you and your beautiful family and may god give your wonderful father love, strength, and peace❤️🙏🏻
This is the most amazing and emotional video. I felt like I was there the whole time. I'm crying my eyes out. God bless you all. And congratulations on the pregnancy. Sending many hugs and prayers to you all. I've watched your videos so much that I feel like you're part of my family. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your beautiful family! ❤️❤️❤️
My heart aches for you and your family. I lost it when your dad said he'll know him before you do. I lost my mother-in-law in 2018 and she wasn't only my mother-in-law but my best friend. I'll be praying for you and your family. Remember it's never goodbye it's later. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
First off, congratulations!! This has to be one of the most well made and beautiful videos that I have seen in a long time! Bless you Dad and your whole entire family! Just beautiful!
I’ll send him down had me crying. Bittersweet but ultimately memories that will be forever treasured by your family, thank you for sharing such a beautiful and intimate moment with us!
I cried and I’m so sorry for your loss I know how it feels to loose someone close to you, I lost my grandma who raised me as a child in November and it was very hard on me and my family
This is a story of absolute love and giving. Ashley your kindness, your love for your father, your family you are truly a bright and shining star of hope. Even in times of heartache you show and give kindness. Your fathers smile touches my heart. You have shown what it truly means to love and you have touched my heart. It made me cry and appreciate this chapter of your life because in the end we always have hope. God Bless you and your beautiful family and blessings to your dad. You have truly brought him so much happiness and I pray that others in our world will truly learn to love, to put others above themselves, to be compassionate and to spread that knowledge. Thank you
Tears! Congrats! Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment between you, your hubby and family. Beautiful! I wish you a smooth, uneventful pregnancy and birth! Also your twins are super cute! How old are they? I have b/g twins that turned 4 in Sept and we just had baby #6 (girl) in August....completing our family. Looks like you all had an amazing Christmas..enjoy the New Year! Oh and our twins got those Water Wow paint books for Christmas and they're so awesome! Huge hit with them!
