Your kids are honestly such gems. (Of course, look at their parents!!) Wilder and his sweet, sweet comments are just a true indication of how pure his heart is ❤
Whether your Mom stays sober or not the forgiveness is important for your health. I cried when Hazel ran to her. Sweet. I pray that your Mom can continue to stay strong and you can build a healthy relationship.
Zoe, people will say what they want about you guys… but those babies are seriously so perfect. And their manners, kindness, and the love they show others comes from the love and care they receive in their home! You and Garrick are doing a great job and will have so many videos for them to look back on 😢. I know not everyone agrees with sharing these moments with others, but thank you for making me be a more patient & fun mother by modeling it for others. You’ve helped me take a step back, deep breathe when I’m overwhelmed, and not sweat the small stuff. ❤️ I look forward to every video.
Wilder has a unique spirit. He sees beauty and positivity in all, and has such a sweetness about him. I feel like one of his journeys on earth is to be a healer to those around him!
It’s crazy how you crave a mothers love no matter what. My birth mother never cared to be in my life. My step mother was a narcissist. I love them both so dearly still…. So happy for you Zoe. Facing my birth mother after not speaking for over 7 years was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
I am in much the same boat you are. I haven't talked to my mom in over 10 years. It is sad, but you got to do what is best for you. and I learned I could not trust her. It is sad. My stepmom is vindictive and can't talk to her either. I just be on my own and hope that someday I can be a good grandma for my kids.
@@StaceyLovesBettyBoop my Mom is a narcissist too, it’s so hard and I hear you, great job putting up those boundaries with them as well, I know how challenging that is to do. Also, is that the Banff area in your photo?
Your mom looks exactly like you, I hope things workout with your mom she seems like she’s so nice and sweet she’s trying you can see it and forgiving is the correct way out of life we only live once I love you guys 💕
Wilder is such a sweet kid ✨ The way he expresses himself, and talks about Hazel and the way he said “I love my sister!” and blowing her kisses 💖 You guys are doing a great job on raising your kids, they’re such kind little souls.
This made me sob!!! I'm so happy for all of you🥰 Zoe you are such an incredible mom and I'm so glad you are able to reunite with your mom. Proud of your mom as well. Addiction is hard to overcome!! Also happy that Garick is feeling better..I hope. 💖🙂✌️
My heart melts every time I see Wilder with Hazel, they are so cute and he is an amazing older brother ❤ respect to you guys for raising him to be such a gentle and loving young man
I'm a mommy and a recovering addict. This video brought me to tears. It's truly special you got to document this and that the kids just took to her so easily. I'm so proud of your mother for bettering herself and that you can heal. Thank you for sharing this chapter of your life with us. Sending love and blessing y'all's way. Also, Wilder has a heart of GOLD! He's so remarkable with the way he uses his words, so so sweet.💗
Wilder makes my whole day. What a precious soul that little man has. So happy things went well with your mom. Just go one day at a time and start to build new, beautiful, forgiving memories. God bless! ❤
This video had me tearing up the whole time! Your kids are just the absolute sweetest. The way that your mom looked at you and the kids says it all. Her eyes just sparkled watching you interact with your kids and spending time with you. I’m so happy for you and your family that you’ve finally been able to do this and start to heal that piece of you. Proud of you for having the courage to meet her again! I couldn’t imagine not having my mom present in my life for over a decade she’s my rock. Praying for the continued healthy relationship for you all ❤️
I know how much you’ve been praying for this day Zoey, I’m so happy for your mom and her accomplishments #teamsober 💕 praying this is a connection that stays forever, you needed your mama as much as she needed you love!
I instantly started tearing up when Hazel ran up to her & Wilder looks just like Garrick! I hope wilder’s scratch heals soon! looks like it hurts😩 I hope hazel enjoys her new hobbie!
I bet that meeting meant the world to your Mom! You look so much like her. As a Mom that has struggled with addiction and got healthy again I can tell you first hand that your maturity and being able to forgive her and let her be a part of your kids lives is the most amazing thing! To Mom, please take this opportunity to stay clean and any time you think of relapsing think of those babies faces ❤️
This is all part of your healing journey, Zoey. Your heart will heal over time and your mother also needs this to heal and recover. She hurt you because she was hurting. Hopefully she can forgive herself. 🙏
There is a Bond between mother n child that will never be broken ...I don't know your mom or her story but I can say just looking at her that she is a changed woman I can Def say she looked sober and I see where you get your prettiness from ...this is great everyone deserves a second chance n this is Def going to heal some old wounds
Zoey, you are such a beautiful young lady inside and out. I am grateful that your relationship with your mom starts a new chapter. Many prayers that she continues to remain sober especially since meeting the most adorable grandchildren God has given her through you and Garrick. Garrick, you are an amazing husband and dad. Life gets hard and sometimes unbearable. I'm sorry for what you went through but your strength and love for your family came shining through. Don't beat yourself up, move forward. Remember everything you have comes from God. Now for Wilder,..you,young man, are going places. Your tender heart, your loving smile and your compassion for others are beyond your age! Little Miss "Hay-wool" (love how Venture says it). You are a sweet and precious little girl. It is so nice to see you coming out of your shell (gymnastics class by yourself). Venture, you have great role models before you, your big brother and sister but most of all your parents. Learn and grow! ❤️
This was so special Zoe. My brother has struggled with addiction for years & I don’t get to see him so I know how hard and emotional it can be. She is so beautiful, you guys are twins! I wish you all nothing but the best & I hope your future as one big family is bright💛✨
Maybe u will never read this, but I really hope that your relationship with your mom gets bigger an bigger. I can see how she’s trying to get her family back. I have the same situation with my family but trust me, if you want it, it will definitely get better. I saw your kids so happy and loved around your mom, and I’m not making differences between your kids, but Wilder it’s an angel, his heart is so pure and lovely. I’m so happy for you.
that was truly one of the sweetest videos i’ve watch in a long time. it’s crazy how God can use the worst of times in life to bring the most healing and joy. i’ve felt so lucky to have been watching this season of your life and feel so grateful that you’ve been willing to share it with us. i have a very close friend who had a similar situation happen to her that Garrick went through recently and it has really strengthened the desire in my heart to work in the mental health field and just show people who struggle with that illness, just like any other illness, that they are worth the fight, worth getting better, and needed here on earth. the Lord isn’t done with you until the day He brings you home to Him. it is amazing to see Garrick as an individual and you all as a family unit fighting for your family and for yourselves. you guys should be so proud of yourselves and you’re so worthy of being here. and this video just shows how intentional the Lord is with bringing Zoe’s mom back in your lives at the right time. healing from the outside in. He cares so much and doesn’t let the pain go to waste. these are the times that make us stronger. it melted my heart so much to see the way your kids were with your mom. they are truly the sweetest kids i have ever seen, just the way they interact and love on people so purely. i am so glad they have the space and place to call home to do that and learn from the both of you. i have been trying to heal from hurt that my dad has caused me over the years too and this video gives me so much hope. not everyday is going to perfect and there still may be hurt that comes from a relationship with someone who has caused damage in the past, but as you said, forgiveness is ultimately what makes us stronger and i believe so much in the power of healing and God’s timing. just lean on Him and i am going to continue trying to do the same. thank you for sharing all of this and being so open with us. the story that you guys are writing is truly a beautiful one. i will be praying for you all in the healing of recent events, for your relationship with your mom, and just for the strength to keep pushing through. you were made for such a time as this and i appreciate the reminders you’ve given me about how beautiful life is ❤️
You favor your mom a whole lot and your babies are so adorable and sweet I loved seeing you all together with your mom you could tell the kids really fell in love with her I'm so happy for you guys
I’m glad you seen her. My parents were addicts my whole childhood, but when I had my first kid they cleaned up, and make the best mimi and papaw. Seeing them try to be better for them and allowing grace has made our hearts so happy. And I pray the same can be said for your family. ❤️🙏🏻
Wilder blows me with his kindness & empathy at such a young age!! That boy melts my heart with his sweet comments. Watch the girls as he gets older mama (though I know you will be 😂.) Some girls prey on kind hearted men to use & abuse.
I LOVE ❤️ WATCHING WILDER BE SUCH AN AMAZING BIG BROTHER, I NEVER SEEN SUCH AN AMAZING CHILD LIKE HIM(OTHER THAN MY GRANDBABIES LOL) BUT FOR REALS YALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON HIM, HE IS JUST SO CUTE & SPECIAL, I CAN JUST KEEP ON GOING
Also Zoe I hope your mom continues on this path of sobriety. It’s not an easy journey but it’s so damn worth it. You have all been through so much lately. You deserve happiness and peace. ❤️
@@alexischarest378 that’s is none of your business or anyone else’s business at that. They don’t have to tell you what goes on in their lives. They might have RU-vid and show you their journey but some things are better kept in the privacy of their own home.
I wish there was a love button instead of a like! So sweet. You have the sweetest kids. I hope I can raise my daughter half as good as you have your kids! ❤️
You can tell you're great parents from your kids amazing personalities! No matter what you grew up in you've created a beautiful safe environment to raise your kids in and it makes me hopeful that I can do that for my future kids
As a child of an addict I'm literally sobbing and I'm just a few minutes in. Oh Zoe my hearts breaking and healing for you all at once. You are beyond strong. ❤️🦋
