Here is the live TikTok Q&A we did tonight. Sorry about all the animated things on the screen. I need to turn that off next time. But Weston enjoys it so maybe not. 😂
Taylor, don't worry about dating or not dating. I lost my husband a year ago to cancer and I know how difficult it is to be lonely but also not ready for someone new. When the time is right it will happen. Have faith. You'll be ok and it will work out. Blessings to you.🙏💕☮️
Taylor, speaking from someone who lost the love of my life, you will know when the time is right & when your heart is ready. Don’t listen to anyone, there is no time limit on grief, it’s been 11 yrs for me. You are a young man & you deserve new love & happiness. It will be a different journey, but Haley wouldn’t want both yourself & Weston to be on your own. She had such a big heart & loved you so much she would want you to move on, but only when YOU are ready. Trust me, you will know. You were an amazing, loving husband & you are a wonderful father & beautiful young man. All the best for your & Weston’s future. 💕
I was gonna say the exact same thing I’ve been a widow for 11 years 12 next month. My kids even bugged me about dating and I always say it’ll happen when I trip over it my heart will know. I’m 66 years old now and it’s not easy. It’s very different for you because you’re so young. You’re on a good path follow your heart.
You owe nothing to anyone... no one's business! We absolutely love the man you are, the husband you were to Haley and the daddy you are to Weston! You put God first and He makes all things possible.. He's got you!
Amen, when the time is right God will send someone to you. Don't worry about who, when or where, God has it covered. Hang out with friends, enjoy your life, embrace your memories, trust Jesus. God has it all planned, He knows when you will be ready.
Very well said! Love his comment! This is HIS AND ONLY HISSS personal journey of losing his wife of 15 plus years.. I AM SO SORRY YOU WERE ASKED SUCH A TERRIBLE, IN-CONSIDERATE question. Which I’m sure you get a few of those cause ppl just don’t have God on their side like you do to carry you through… you are doing exactly what you should be doing and nothing you can do is wrong period. This is a very very traumatic experience for you. You keep living the way you are, your a very smart man, a wonderful father, and you were an amazing husband to Haley ❤❤❤ sorry so long 😬🙏🏼🤍
Taylor any woman that puts you and Weston first is what you deserve and I think that Haley would feel that way also! It may be year's before you move on and that's okay,what ever is best for you and that precious little boy!!!! Love you guy's ❤️😊🤍💛🤎🖤✨🙏💫🌷🐝
It’s nobody’s business if you are or are Not dating or Why you are or are not wearing your wedding ring! People today seem to have lost all respect for others privacy. You are a great dad. That’s all that matters. Keep doing what you are doing because you are doing it very well.
Taylor, I really enjoyed listening to you. You are doing an amazing job and it shows in how well Weston is doing. I must say I felt sad when you expressed that you had felt “embarrassed” by your job situations (e.g., when you have been layed off). From what I can tell, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. And what a beautiful thing it is that you were able to be at home and do your most important job: taking care of Haley and Weston. Continued blessings to both you and Weston as you navigate life.
Taylor I feel the Lord had a hand in being able to stay home and take care of Hailey and Weston. There is no shame about your career it just means God had a better plan for your future. Thank you for sharing your life with Hailey and now with Weston and you. Your content is helping so many that have or going through the loss of a love one. Continue your journey with Weston❤🙏🏻. Taylor you will there to to help whoever you date and you should be private about any future relationship. You have grieved for 8 years and you will be the one to know when it’s time. Sometimes just to have a companion to talk to.
Everyone heals and moves on at their own pace. If you find someone that is good enough for you to give your heart to and for you to introduce Weston to will be perfect. There is not one person besides you and Weston that can tell you someone isn’t good enough for you. God will cross your paths when the time is right. Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us!
You did great on the live. We continue to watch you go through this life journey. You are an amazing dad and it shows in Weston. Thank you for allowing us to continue be a part of this journey.
I needed Weston's song because I laid the love of my life to rest nearly two months ago on July 8th and I want to keep in mind God loves me. I'm so sorry about your beautiful wife and Weston's loving mom. Right now my grief is very very heavy. Thank you for helping others walk through their pain.
When my hubby passed from cancer several years ago. I joined a cancer spouse support group. And I thought that I had married my soul mate. And I did during that stage and season of my life. But when the season changed some of my thoughts changed. And I prayed that if anyone is not for me please remove them. My present husband stated he couldn't be removed bc he was grounded and planted by God. His wife had passed from cancer. And I can not state that is why we bonded but I think it played a small part of it.
Great video Taylor. Weston song was so beautiful. Don't let people get you down. I'm sure Hailey would want you to find Love again. Ignore those people with negative opinions. You will always love Hailey and she will always be in your and Weston's heart.
My husband battled cancer for two years and passed away in 2016. I’ve been a widow for 8 years and I don’t know if I’ll ever want to be in another relationship. Take your time and you do what’s best for you and your family.
The Goodness of God has given me so much comfort. I lost both my parents last year 6 months apart. Grief is difficult to explain to people. It’s a heartache that will never really go away. You gave a great explanation. I think your career path is heading exactly where God wants you. Be blessed
Thank you Taylor and Weston. ❤ For sharing this on RU-vid. Don’t worry about what people say or think. Like you said, they don’t know you. Many reasons why I don’t have social media. Let Jesus heal your heart. ❤ He knows what’s best for you and for Weston. For He knows the plans He has for you, to give you a hope and a future. I appreciate how vulnerable you are and you truly don’t have to be either. You’re one of a kind and such a genuine, beautiful soul. Much Love 💕 Always.
Can't wait to see what comes next for you and Weston. Haley is certainly proud of how you are moving forward. Hold your head up high and know you owe no one an explanation of how you lived your life with Haley. You are a good man navigating through something that most people don't understand. Haley will always live through you and shine through Weston. Keep your head up, hold that little boy close and know the loneliness will not last forever. Stay safe. Much love.
Thank you very much for sharing this on RU-vid with us!! You stressed some very real questions that we all wrestle with at times and I appreciated your boldness in sharing the faith that carries you as well as respectfully countering the opinions which hold no truth. It’s especially challenging to begin a journey of sharing online and I really appreciate your authenticity in the way you present yourself and the challenges life presents in this new season. Being in my thirties as well and “behind the curve” of what expectations dictate in our culture, there is so much influence to have achieved some form of standard by the world’s estimation. But God has a path for each of us unique to our own walk. May God strengthen you as you move forward.
You are a wonderful young man! You are already a motivational speaker & changing lives. Thank you for being a blessing to me & inspiring me. You are favored 🙏 ❤
Dating is so hard, especially when you’re older. Given what you’ve been through, I think sharing your life with someone else would help with your grief. You deserve to be happy. Just because you’re looking for someone doesn’t mean you don’t love Haley. Life is meant to be lived and you need someone to talk to, cry with, and make memories with. Someone to enrich your life and who will honor Haley, no competition. She’s out there and will love Haley and will respect your love for Haley too. Good luck! You deserve this!
You know when it is time to move on, you know? When it's time to take off your ring. Because you are the one has been going through the pain and the hurt. Only you and God knows what's best for you. Not other people. It is not their business.
Praying for you and Weston. Please don't listen to anyone about grief and when or when you shouldn't move on and date. Grief is an individual and unique response to what you all have been through. Just keep your focus on Christ and Weston and all the pieces will fall into place, whatever those are. Thank you for continuing to share and update. God is still good all the time!!
Taylor, You are a really sharp guy, and you're handling things so well. Thank you for opening up to us because you ARE inspiring!! I'm so sorry to hear people have not been respectful!! It is your choice when it feels right to take off your ring. It is only an outward symbol of the love you & Haley shared. You may not even see my comments but I was surprised to hear about your jobs. From the outside looking in it looked like you had a wonderful career with a company that understood you needed time off. Perhaps things happened the way they did to open opportunities for public speaking? You have a POWERFUL message to share! ❤❤❤ I'm so impressed by what your father in law offered to do in the most crucial time in your lives. You don't owe anyone an explanation about dating!! You do what is best for you & Weston. Thank you again for being so open, vulnerable and loving.❤
There is a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. You can feel lonely in a room full of people or you could be physically alone and not be lonely. As long as you have the Lord in your life, (which I know you do) you will never truly be alone. He will always be there for you and show you the way. You were an amazing husband to Haley and when the time is right, God will put someone else in your path who is right for you, but until then, continue focusing on being the best dad to Weston. You and Haley have done an amazing job raising him and Haley will continue to live on through him. You will absolutely figure it all out in time. Don’t worry about what people on the internet have to say. The only opinions that matter belong to the people who matter to you. There is no rush to “move on” or find someone else or whatever it is anyone else thinks you should be doing. Grief is not linear and as you said, we don’t know you like that. No one truly knows what you’ve been through and how you’re actually feeling… only the Lord knows. Take care of yourself and continue to stay in touch with the Lord always. God bless you and Weston.
You sharing Haley’s story has been an inspiring one! As someone who watched her own grandmother battle cancer for years and pass away after being on hospice and watching my great-grandmother pass away on hospice from CHF, I give you so much credit and praise for being so gracious in sharing her life and journey with us! Haters are always gonna hate but JESUS! Try not to worry about the negative comments. Haley would be so proud of you and the amazing dad you are to Weston! Haley’s heart and laugh brought me to your page when you started sharing her story. It’s so sweet to see Weston have a spirit like his mama. You don’t own anyone explanations for anything. Your job journey: look at it as stepping stones to get you to where you are today! And your future in dating, take all the time you need and when you’re ready, the Lord will make it happen. I’m sure Haley will be up there telling Jesus “Hey that’s a good one! Give him her!” Haha 🥹 Keep your head up and keep pushing through. I’m praying for you and Weston always!! Not just saying it lol, I’m actually praying for y’all. Looking forward to workout content and meal prep, etc. Love seeing you putting your passions to the forefront and sharing your adventures with Weston! Much love to you always! ❤
Definitely agree about the natural saying of "I'm praying " when I told or asked I stop and pray then with them if they wish if not I will pray. Yes, the online world can be negative at times. I see Weston as a good example of a Bible verse in Ephesians about being tender hearted, loving and forgiveness to all.
My mother became a widow at 35 she was young and full of life she never remarried until 11 years after my father passed away so you are absolutely right it’s on your time I love your story I hope you and Weston continue to heal and enjoy your lives as you can
I hope when you find someone else she's allot like Hayley... I mean someone that's very understanding, has a very large heart, very compassionate good communicator..
I would love to see Taylor and Kyle connect. They are part of a community that neither asked to join. But I believe they could encourage and bless one another if they met. (And FYI: Jenny was 36 when she transitioned last November. Tomorrow is her heavenly birthday and she would have been 37.)
I enjoyed seeing and hearing more about you. I understand the being alone thing. We are designed to crave companionship and your next chapter is already written for you. ❤
I’m a very jealous person and in the past It would bother me just to think if something happened my husband moving on too quickly . Until I’ve heard it this way that when we get to heaven we will not be married anymore but brothers and sisters in Christ. We will all be celebrating God together. Haley will be just as close with your new wife like a best friend in heaven who helped take care of her baby boy. Don’t you worry about that at all.
Though it may be hard to talk about, the job issue is very real for cancer patients and their caregivers. Many end up having to stop work. Cancer doesn’t stop the bills coming in. The hardest part is that the world keeps going. Thank you so much for your honesty. You do have a gift for reaching people. Your love for Weston is teaching as well
I took care of my mother for four years while trying to hold down a full time job. It was wonderful in the time I was able to be with mom but physically and emotionally it almost killed me as well. It’s been 8 months and my health is still struggling. I ended up leaving my career and taking early retirement which was very little and lost insurance. Now the government is allowing family members to be paid which they were not before but it’s cheaper to keep people in their homes and have family caretakers do the day to day errands, appointments, pay bills, cook, clean, shower etc I encourage anyone who is taking care of a loved one to see if they can qualify in their state.
Taylor, My heart goes out you and Weston all the time. Haileys story is an amazing testimony of strength, perseverance, love and grief. This is a story that just grabs me like no other. Who ever you find will be perfect for you God has a plan. Your love for Hailey is like no other, im sure when its right the lucky lady will fit right in. I don't think you could have said any of this better, and did an amazing job in speaking about wont be tolerated. You owe no one an explanation so God Bless. Just watching videos of Hailey snd hearing her story feels like she could have been anyone's best friend. Its been a hard journey, but a beautiful one. When you said the things not to say, how people always say ill pray for you, im always saying that's nice but they probably don't its ok lol. Hearing your testimony about working out and getting healthy is a real help for me, I'm currently on this journey and down 50lbs. You're doing amazing. God bless you guys. Go live your life Taylor. Carpe diem❤
When you feel ready to introduce Westin to someone your interested in dating, he is the one that matters. Proud of the way you handled the judgemental ones in the comments. What is the ole saying " until You've walked in my shoes" 💯
Taylor God bless you. The hospice journey must be so unimaginable and you are so strong for you and Weston. Grief is your own process. You have a great mindset. You will find the perfect person when the time is right. I agree with you to be private with dating whenever you do decide to start. God’s timing is everything and he knows your heart. She’s always in your heart and would want you to be happy. We all love you and support you no matter what ♥️
All great things for you and Weston moving forward ! I’m a 63 year old Mom of three, and Mom Mom to two beautiful granddaughters, with cancer …The thought of me leaving my heart and soul behind is all I think about as I go through the process! May you and Weston be happy in all of life’s precious moments 🩵🙏looking forward to your positive speaking !! 🩵
Thank you for doing this heartfelt and honest Q & A session. So wonderful to hear that you will become a motivational speaker, along with your other ventures, in the future. Just know that you, Haley and Weston have already given us so much inspiration, hope and love by sharing your intricate lives with us. So, it is a blessing to know that you and your son will continue to include us in your lives and the legacy that you are building upon. Lastly, please know that what you do is 'very meaningful' to me. Ms. M. Moore USA 🇺🇸
Taylor you are an amazing person and Father inside and out. No one needs to judge you for anything at all. I know they do. They need to judge oneself and what there life is before they judge the WONDERFUL LIFE and memories of your and Haley’s and Weston’s life and how you are moving along with your ❤continuing sharing what you’re going through. I’m watching your Q&A as I’m writing this. You are handling it with GRACE in every way. May you and Weston have continued PEACE in your loss of THE BELOVED WIFE HALEY ❤ MOM❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just found you guys I went back to the beginning and watched every video and bawled my face off! I felt every emotion of your journey; I also did 9 weeks of Chemo and radiation at the end of 2022 and my now 10 yr old son and I went through may moments like those where he was scared that I was going to pass but I fought with all my strength and beat it so far
The words I use so often is that we never get over a death but as the days move on we also move on so we don't get over it but we do learn to live with it and we do learn a new normal but some little, maybe silly thing, will bring on the tears and the hurt of loss but we face it because we have to. If you want to date, do it, if its right for you and Weston then its nothing to do with anyone else. As for taking your wedding ring off, I took mine off a few weeks ago, its coming on 2 years since my husband died. On a lighter note, Weston has had me giggling putting the hats, glasses on you and the heart giving you a kiss was so funny but sweet. Weston waving to us was good as well. Many thanks for this and for sharing yours and Westons lives with us. I'm sure Haley is with you, she will always watch over you both. God bless.
Love to see how happy and energeric Weston is despite of everything you both have been through at such a young age. I think you are doing an amazing job with him, and the love you and Hailey have had for him is so obvious in him. Especially wanting to sing to us "Jesus loves me yes I know" song... I'm a breast cancer survivor, and cancer SUCKS!!!! But it's how you chose to live your life that truly matters. Making every day count, making new memories with the new day God gives us.. Keep up the amazing job you are doing and wishing you all the best with the new plan God has for you.. Thank you for sharing your story Taylor.
Keep doing what you are doing!! You have so much love and compassion for life. Telling your story, keeping Haley’s memory alive, spreading kindness will help so many hearts heal. Wishing you and Weston love & peace as you continue your life’s journey!! 💗💗
Oh so sweet Weston having so much 😊 fun! I love to hear you two are doing well. Love you boys God bless you both❤ Weston singing just melts my heart 🙏✝️🤗🩷
We thank you for your transparency & sharing your story. I can honestly say that watching Haley's journey showed me things in myself I have never seen. In the same respect, I have this to say to you. You already know this. As far as your life, the ONLY voice you need to hear is God. HE will lead you & your heart. 🙏💓 I've always prayed but I was terrible about listening. God bless you and Weston and all the family.
It’s extremely admirable to see you speak up about the things people say that are just ignorant and wrong, such as the ring & dating. It’s important that you speak up and it’s just awesome to see how authentic & honest you are. You will know when it’s time to move on, you will definitely know & God will walk with you through that part too.
Great video Taylor, God's timing is perfect , He will look after you..you.re life is in his hands.. God Bless you..you.re doing amazing with your little treasure Weston. Jus look afyer yourself, keep up the gym..very good for your head as well as your body and well being.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧
Yall are precious. I never get on here much but I have been drawn to this story for awhile. I pray for you both 🙏 continue being such an awesome father and man and stay real no matter what the world throws at you. God will send the one when the time is right and you'll know it. You have the best angel looking over you guys ❤
Thank you for being so open & sharing your life with us. I'm sure you have already helped many by your honesty & they may feel some of what you have been through. I wish you & Weston the best in everything y'all do❤
You & Weston are doing great. And your words help others more than you could imagine. Anyone who can't extend you grace is not worthy of being a friend ❤
Yes Grieving in hard. My son was sick for 45 years and each day I cherished!! He didn't talk,he didn't walk and he didn't see,but he was my everything and my angel on earth and he still is!! You got it right. It's not like someone suddenly getting killed or died. This was a slow painful process that took parts of you with it!! I enjoy each video you make cause I know you're pouring out your heart and soul to mostly strangers,,!! I think somewhere ,,somewhat Hayley's spirit is going to be there with you and Westoni times you really need her. I do believe that!! God knows your hurting but God needed Hayley, for his band of angels that's returning real soon. Hayley knew and through days and weeks ,maybe months and years,you will also!! God be with you and Weston in the journey and a new chapter. I won't say a new book ,because it's not. She will always be in each chapter, whether it's in thought spirit or memories!! Love and 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕 Sam TN.
I am so sorry for your loss, I love how you loved your wife and still holds her close to your heart. You’re so genuine and kind and your child is adorable. Your inspiring to a lot of people so keep doing what your doing.♥️♥️
You don’t owe any of us an explanation. Everyone grieves differently and in their own time. Keeping your ring on is beautiful and I am sure it still helps you to feel close to her. You will know when you are ready, and the people that care for you will want your happiness above all else.
Listening to this i can tell you definitely grieved the loss of Haley before she was even gone. It breaks my heart . And of course you need to move on , you’re young. I don’t think it’s wrong for ppl to think whoever you get with has big shoes to fill though. And you have to be careful that someone doesn’t come in your life just for the social media following. I believe you and Haley had a once in a lifetime kind of love. But that doesn’t mean you won’t find love again. It will just be a different kind of love. I believe she will send you the perfect women for you and Weston.
Taylor, I feel blessed to of come across yours and Hailey’s story. Touched me deeply. I do believe you will be such an amazing public speaker and life has some amazing things for you and Weston ahead. Thank you so very much for sharing. Weston is such a cutie! When he sang Jesus loves me I cried. What a beautiful family. I am so sorry at the same time for the pain and grief. I couldn’t imagine it.
Taylor do what make u and weston happy. Don't think of what other people say or think. They are not going through what you are. At the end of the day you will never make everyone happy ❤all the way from S.A # I miss her 2😢
Just wanna know you two boys are okay. Truly okay. Know loss & I know how noone seems to really understand it till they experiance it. Like you said. "Are you really praying for me tho?" So happy see the light in you boys eyes. That you have each other. Weston is a angel truly all on his own. Your a great man & have a huge heart & seem to have a real soul. Seasoned soul & thise are the best kind. Appreciate the things truly matter & add value in life. Lil things you can appreciate. I appreciate that. Sending all the love & true prayers. My mommas heaven date is June 6th. 10yrs ago today. Tbh I don't think we ever move on just learn to live with it. Just gotta surround yourself with good people. Ty for being so vulnerable. Haley lives thru you two & man is it beautiful! 26:24
Wonderful Q&A. Love your authentic and honest answers! You are honoring your precious wife each and every day. What a wonderful caretaker you were! You are doing an amazing job raising Weston and he is blessed to have you as his father.
Weston so full of life and happy 🎉🎉 I miss when my son was this age and this way. I rather have seen him a active and funny and full of energy than him being depressed and no energy for life itself. We adore you Weston..thank you for that awesome song. Amen ❤
