Saying Goodbye Forever 

Ken is outside filming the house/lawn and playing the fiddle when the family is inside comforting each other hahaha

So sorry to hear about Carol's Mother and having to leave there home and wish them the best in their new retirement home. Take care and thank you for including all us fans and making this video about this very personal and sad changes in your lives and wish you all the best !

Very sad that it happens to people, just totally forgetting who people are and everything, it's heartbreaking. The place may be something you never go back to but the memories will always be there in your mind

Very sad to hear this. I'm sure I'm joined by everyone else in wishing Carol's dad & mum the very best and hope they have a relaxing time with no hassles in the retirement home. It is tragic when you have to sell a home you love and my parents & I had to do that to our home in 2006 due to financial reasons.

My mom was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and I tried taking care of her myself but it’s a hard job, so I made the decision to put her in a memory care facility and she is thriving there💜💜

Very touching...sorry to hear about Carol's Mom and the difficult decision to sell and move into a retirement home. I don't normally comment but I just feel a connection to you and your family, not only are my own parents names Jim and Joan, and in their 80's but my Dad was also a plumber for 35 years and what you said about your Father in law returning to the cottage to assist the new owners with certain aspects of the house that he updated himself is exactly the type of thing my own Dad does and would do for someone. Also I have a nephew named Ben and we live not far from you about40 minutes west. My grandmother had early stages of Alzheimer's and I could tell it was a very difficult time for my Mom so my heart goes out to Carol. You go to many places that we do and it is interesting to see all the common towns and areas frequented the same as us. I first came across your videos after seeing you in one of Adam the Woo's videos and couldn't believe when I recognized some place in your video and new you were local. Sometimes we have just gone somewhere just before or just after you had been there so I'm sure my family and I will run into you one day. Enjoy your content and even got my family hooked on your videos . Also really enjoy when Carol makes appearances or even does her own videos, she is very nice and her voice and demeanor is very calming and pleasant. Also I have to mention that back when Ben worked at Walmart, I did see him once and asked him where to find something in the store but at the time I didn't know who he was but I remembered him when he was in one of your videos because of his puffy hair he had. :-)

The memory's will stay with you forever Ken, I remember saying goodbye to my family home I'll was upset for days. All the best Ken to you and carol.

Thank you for sharing this with us Ken. As much of an honor as it is for you to have been able to do all these things for Carol and her parents, I think I speak for all of us in saying it’s been an honor for us to be able to be even a small part of it WITH y’all. Sending you, carol and the a family all the good vibes and prayers today!

Thank you for including us in this. We appreciate you Ken! ❤️🙏🏼

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Ken. My Dad had a beautiful cabin on Tims Ford Lake near Winchester, Tennessee. The sun set directly in front of the cabin. It looked like a bowl of diamonds. Those were the best times of my life, and, my 2 brothers. I will never forget that place. My Dad is now in an assisted living facility. Preserve your memories. Love and peace and prayers. 🙏😔🙏.

Thanks for sharing Ken, all good things must come to an end. My mother had dementia, so I know how that plays out. We just keep moving forward.

Dementia is awful. Multiple family members have had it, and it’s never easy to see your loved one just deteriorate to a complete stranger. Best wishes to you and Carol, Ken.

Please don't do thumbnails like that. Its almost like set up selfie sadness. I don't mean to be rude by saying this btw. Obviously use whatever thumbnail you want it's just my opinion.

I'm deeply torn to hear of the News Ken but I'm happy that carol's mom will get the attention she needs and you will always have the memories there at the cottage

Sending love to your wife Carol and her mum and dad hold on to them memories of that cottage looks so peaceful and beautiful such heart felt words ken and emotions running high stay strong and bless you all .

Ken, as difficult as it is now, without these struggles the good times wouldn't be as good as they are. To feel good, we'd all have to know know what it's like to deal with challenges. Godspeed.

Awww, so sorry your family is going through this ..all the best to everyone..hugs

So sorry to hear that with Carol's parents😪....life isn't easy and not fair...I send you all so much love and luck to go to this hard time in life💌🍀💌

As long as I worked in a nursing home, it always makes me sad to hear what Dementia/Alzheimer's does to a family. May time be gracious to heal your family's hearts. ❤️

I sorry . About you mother in law. Thanks for being there for family

I'm so sorry Ken I know exactly what you guys are going through cause my grandma had dementia and so I wish you all well and god bless you guys.❤️😟

honestly the sad part is the parents getting older and the dementia.

My deepest condolences Ken. May she forever rest in heaven. I'm sure she is at peace and no longer in pain. Stay strong for Carol.

Every stage of life has it's challenges. This sounds like a step in the right direction. Sending moral support 😎🇨🇦

Both my grandma and grandpa had dementia . Sad to see how they were so full,of life to not being able to know where they are

I'm so sorry Ken. Wishing you strength in this new phase.

Sorry to hear Ken, wish them the best in their new place. Carol and you have years of memories to look back on that is priceless!

Moms and dads, grandparents are all viewed from our youth as protectors, larger than life, having all the answers, leaving us to our childhoods and having fun. We’re children wrapped in the security they provide. Then, as we age and become adults, we see these once strong adults go through the “seasons of life” and age. All of the sudden we’re taking care of them, making decisions for them, selling their homes and honestly it’s gut wrenching. As uncomfortable as this role reversal is it’s a part of life and now we are their protectors. I pray for you and the family as a new season approaches.

Its sad that this happening but glad Carols mom is getting much needed help … sending prayers and hugs 🤗

Aw Ken I'm sorry. Losing a home is like losing a part of a family. A place that you have created memories with family and friends is almost as hard as a member of your family. I miss my grandparent home were the whole family used to gather. After their passing the family fell apart. I can understand. Just think how the new family will have new memories to contribute to the legacy of this home.

I really feel for you Ken. My dad is in the mid stages of Alzheimers. It's a heartbreaking disease for families to have to go through. Thanks you for sharing your story and God bless to you and Carol and your families. ❤️

24 HOURS STEALTH CAMPING IN THAT OLD HOUSE YOU JUST SOLD???? use the garage sale money fir Uber eats!!! Thank me later!

Loving thoughts and best wishes for your and Carol's family. Take care all!

My father had alzheimer’s before he passed away so i understand how hard it can be to care for someone with it.So sorry to hear your mother in law has it,must be difficult for everyone.Their home is so beautiful

Thank you Ken for sharing these personal and very emotional thoughts.. please send love fo Carol and her family. I got teary eyed watching you say goodbye.. as they say “all good things must come to an end”. Thank you 🙏🏻 for always taking us along in your journey. As a long time viewer I really appreciate you and all you do for us. Have hope though- even through the rain 🌧 storm, know in your heart that a rainbow 🌈 is coming.

Sad to hear this, my Dad won't recognize me, I think it's more painful for us to see our loved ones slip away. Wishing everyone in your family all the best.

Prayers to your family Ken. My grandmother just turned 92 with dementia & she is healthy but not doing well mentally, so it has been a long road. Very confusing for her because she actually used to run a retirement home for many years so she is constantly confused thinking she is in charge & gets in fights with the staff because she thinks she is their boss. Thank god her younger brother is very sharp still & can visit her everyday.

God bless Carol's sweet Mom. Dementia is a very long goodbye. Lost my father-in-law three years ago. May Carol, her Mom, Dad, you and the family be surrounded with love and peace. Sending virtual hugs.

Beautiful video. Thank you for the update and letting us into your life. Hold on to those wonderful memories Ken!!

Life marches forward continually. Good luck to your Family during these tuff times. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi I've been watching your channel for awhile I'm sorry to hear about your wife mother I have a dad that say has Alzheimer's and it is sad stay strong

Hello Ken and Ken’s subscribers I wish Carol’s family the best

Sorry to hear that. All the best to your family 💗

Love and prayers go out to you and the family .. Thank you for always sharing the good and the sad times with us - your fans love you and always here for ya ! God bless !!

Such a beautiful cottage, unless you’ve been to that part of Ontario it’s hard to imagine the beauty. It’s tough to have to leave your home, especially after being there for so long. But having the proper care for her mother is important. We’ve lost a couple neighbours to this awful disease. All the best to you and your family!

Life is for making memories and this beautiful place has give you all so many. Those memories will be with you forever. All the best guys.

I live in KY and work in a nursing home with a dementia wing. Just make sure you visit often; they often forget names, but are triggered when loved ones appear. Take as many of her personally loved items that the home allows to be with her. It will help keep all of her loved ones, here and gone on, alive for her. God bless. And, one other thing: be kind to her caregivers. People have no idea what it takes to care for more than one dementia patient at one location at the same time. They are specialized at their job, but it is a job. Turnover from burnout happens frequently and it's difficult once a caregiver and patient bond to get them bonded with a new one. The best bonds are always between patient, caregiver, and family.

So very sorry too hear about Carol's mom.I took care of my mom for 6 years and she died April 7,2021 unexpected.Please Love your parents with everthing in you.We don't have them forever.

Never easy to let go of places with so much sentimental value. Thanks for sharing Ken. Aloha & blessings to you and your family.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Know your family are in my prayers.

My mom had dementia, she passed more or less from it in 2015. Wishing your family the best in a tough time, Ken.

It looks like a beautiful cottage. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Hi Ken, my Grannie has had Alzheimers disease for 12 years and been in a care home for most of those years. It's been really hard + visiting her is even harder. The disease has progressed and she can no longer communicate or move without help, but she does stare at me in an odd way, which I like to think means she recognises me deep down. But it does get better. My grandad has had his life re invented, and he now serves as a Deacon in the church, has new friends + a new chapter of giving and service has opened in his life. I dont know why these things happen to good people but I trust that we all have our trials in life. God bless you and your family. Thanks for sharing - take care.

Sorry to hear Ken. Hang in there. Ah nostalgia around the cottage.. sad and happy moments at the same time

I’m so sorry to hear that, man. My family dealt with the same issue a couple of years ago. Prayers for you all.

My heart goes out to you & the family my friend. My mother is in the very same boat(medically speaking) & what makes it worse is she was a nurse for 30 years + My thoughts & prayers to you all.

It's always hard to leave somewhere where you've made so many memories. Best of luck to Carol's parents in their new place.

So sorry to hear this. My Mom was diagnosed with dementia in 2016. She passed away two weeks before Christmas in 2019. Today would have been her 73rd birthday, so it's a very sad day for me. I miss her so much. Thank you so much for all the content you put on RU-vid. It has helped me through a lot of rough days.

Ken, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I lost my last grandmother to Alzheimer's 2 days after your birthday. My last grandfather has both Alzheimer's and dementia. We wish you and Carol and the fam nothing but the best.

Thanks for sharing your personal information and opening up to us on RU-vid good luck to Carol's mom and dad very sad . ❤

Long time follower/viewer, Ken. Best wishes to you and your family. The home is beautiful and you'll have wonder memories to cherish.

I'm sorry to you, Carol, and your family KenBro. Thank you for sharing.

So very sorry to hear about Carol's mother..🙏 you ALL will have those precious memories of that beautiful cottage always❤

Wishing you and your family all the best. Thanks for the vlogs at the cottage 💙

Yes it sucks,stay strong 🙏🏻 Just lost my Dad who had dementia in April and now just found out my favorite uncle has cancer 🙄 Thanks for sharing wish you all the best.No fun but life goes on I guess.Take care from GR Michigan

So sad. What a beautiful place. All good things unfortunately come to an end. I'm sure the new owners will take care of it and enjoy.

Sorry about Carol's mom. My grandmother had dementia and it is very hard thing to watch someone suffer like that. My thoughts are with your whole family during this.

Truly Ken I’m really sorry for your loss and for Carol’s family , just unfortunate and just my condolences goes out to both of u all

I know this scenario all too well. In addition to my beautiful grandmother having battled this monster, I used to work with individuals with developmental disabilities and Alzheimer's. It's a torturous, selfish disease. My thoughts and prayers with all of you. May your memories comfort you both. I am so sorry.

Looks like a beautiful property. My best to you and your family.

I am so sorry for you and your family. Our family sends prayers for all.

Sometimes leaving a home is like losing a member of the family. Take time to grieve and reflect.

😢 This is sad news. Wish your family the best as you go through these tough times.

Hey Ken and Carol my thoughts and prayers are with you my Grandma had Alzheimer’s I’m so sorry you guys have to go thru this you have support thru this

God Bless you Ken, Carol & family. My grandma (mom’s mom had Dementia) she was in a Mental Care Unit. As mom & I couldn’t take care of her after Grandpa passed away.

I hope you and your family are ok I no it’s hard but you will get through this

I was sadden to hear this shocking news.Hope everything turns out for the family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Carol's mother Ken. We are going through that process with my grandmother currently and I know what your families' experience has been like. My heart breaks for you guys. Try to think of all the good times.

Sad to hear ... but also glad to hear they will be in a place that they can maybe have a lil more happyness while she is still around.

Sorry you guys are going through this you’re in my prayers

Very sorry for what your family is going through. I know the pain personally. God bless you all.

That’s not a Cottage that’s a Mansion Sucks that you have to let go of places where you spent your best days and memories

Ken, I am sorry to hear about your family troubles. I just buried my mother on Monday. She passed away from complications of Alzheimer’s and Dementia….organ failure was the final conclusion. I was at her bedside when she took her last breath and went to heaven. I can’t say it’s easy. I can not say I know what you are going through but only have an idea. Stay positive and be there for them. Love them with all your heart, like I did. So be at your family members side…..until the end remembering the good and the bad. Because memories last a lifetime. Praying for you and your family through this hard time.

Very tough to let go. My heart goes out to your family. Memories will hopefully get you through.

Hey Ken. My opa and my wife’s oma suffered from Alzheimer’s. Praying for you and your family. Enjoy every little moment while it lasts there more precious than you know. Cheers brother. 🍺❤️

I am so sorry to hear about carol mother so sorry to hear that

Oh Carol I'm so sorry about what's going on with your mom 💜 I'll keep you in my prayers

So sorry to hear that, Ken! Your family and Carol’s Mom will be in my prayers. Hang in there, Bud!👍

I'm sorry about Carol's mom and them having to leave their home. I know the retirement home will be different than the cottage. But they will be better off in the long end somewhere where people can look after them properly. I wish your whole family all the best in the years to come. Thank you for all you do for us. You help brighten my day with your vlogs. Take care.

All my best to Carol, her mum, dad, to you, and the family. You all are going to face challenging times, but I know you will all persevere. Keep a brave face for Carol. My prayers are with you all.

Ken, I'm very sorry to hear this news! Thoughts are with you and the family. My grandma and grandpa had an awesome piece of land. Alot of us grew up there and its also where my grandfather passed away. ( he had a massive heart attack and my grandma found him blue, half in half out of bed, emts tried there best in the house and on the way to the er in town but it just was his time. I miss him everyday) Earlier that day he organized an impromptu picnic that alot of the family got to go to...I chose not to as i had been spending alot of time there recently because I was going thru a fresh break up of 8yrs and I had just got a yellow lab who was like 9 weeks old...my depression got the best of me and i stayed home with my pup...then we got the call that night that he had a heart attack. I rushed there as quick as i could....and as I was pulling down the dead end i saw all the flashing lights and saw them tryimg to bring him back...and let me tell you, they were trying ! I watched him get loaded up and I followed the ambulance to the er....I could see them continuing to do anything they could to save him...but to no avail....i still regret not going to this day, it hurts me deep. I appreciate the memories now, but it's still very easy for me to get hung up on not spending that last day with him and the fam if I'm not careful. I actually developed PTSD from that night watching him try to be brought back, following the ambulance..the flashing lights, all of it. I got PTSD again from a bad car accident that I really shouldn't have walked away from only a couple years acter his death...so needless to say, its a tough road for me with a pretty complex case of PTSD. I go to therapy and use medical marijuana to help the PTSD and both have saved my life. Not long fter he passed my grandma really struggled with the big house /property....and even with company she was lonely living there...and she also developed cancer and c.o.p.d and the combo of that and my grandfather passing was too much for her and she had to sell and kind of start fresh if you will. She went into an apartment complex which is called a senior living complex. It was great for her ( she's no longer with us either and I miss her dearly as well) alot of her friends already lived there as well so, it needed to happen. The stress and sadness on her face living in the big house and then the happiness and stress free living she got to experience after moving out was all the justification we needed to see. It's natual to feel sad losing a house or property that was part of the family for so long....but like I had said...the happiness on her face getting away was enough for me. She needed it and it worked out for the best. I still live 5 minutes from the property which is at the end of a dead end road. I pass it every day on the way to and from work so I make a point to drive by atleast once a week just to keep the happy memories going. The point to all of that is memories are strong and never die and things do get easier in time and I hope, in time, it gets easier for Carrol....and I'm sure it will. Memories are all we have and she will be able to appreciate them in due time. My thoughts and prayers go out to Carrols mom and your entire family!! Stay well buddy and I look forward to future videos! Side note while I'm here...im loving the stealth camping videos too !!👍👍

Sorry to hear about Carol's mom and the cottage. I'm sure you have alot of great memories there! I wish Carol's mom, her dad, Carol of course and the rest of the family the best and it will be nice to have them close in Barrie :).

Very sorry to hear for Carol, you and her whole family. God Bless your in laws Ken. Love to Carol and her sister and Mom and Dad

Good luck to your in laws, wish them the best! 🙏🏽💜

I wish you and your family the best of luck Ken! Keep up the great work! Best RU-vidr I know on this channel and the big channel! Been watching for a long time!

Oh dear Ken I’m so sorry. It’s a beautiful place. Memories can never be sold.

It is good that Carol and her sister have been working together to help with the care of her mother. This is probably a great comfort and emotional support for her father. It is also good that you all have all stood in solidarity with Carol's father during this major transition. May angels surround Carol's parents and especially Carol. Dementia is tough. Almost no one fully understands or knows unless they've been through it. All best to you, Ken.

I love the transparency. It is sad but you guys seem like good people you all will overcome and adjust to the new lifestyle. Love the vids

I enjoy evry video fro. The cottage beautifull Eish the best and prayers for you and carroll and her mom and father Greetz from Holland Europe stay safe

Sending lots of love to you, Carol and the whole family ❤️
