The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
family.

Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

Winnie walks just like Jenny!💜 My Dad use to say " The days are long but the years fly by"

[BibleBeauty]

As long as Winnie walks the earth, Jen will always be here ❤

Hi Kyle! How are you doing? I think about you often because Jenny always pops up on my YT "suggestions", and believe it or not, watching her and listening to what she was saying, is STILL helping people. When I need a dose of bravery before doctor visits, I visit Jenny and get my "mind right" for what's coming next. Thank you for leaving her videos up for us to watch - you/she are doing God's Work, and that's an awesome thing. Talk about Paying It Forward. 💙

Days are long but the years are short - the accuracy! My daughter is finishing her first year of college, and she was Winnie’s age like yesterday 😢

You should look into a cleaning lady at least once a week just for awhile ....just try it out 1 time ❤

[bethtietjen]

You might need to take a break from social media for a time and get some rest! Self care is so important and you’re a busy, busy guy!❤

[kimsuelynn]

You’re doing amazing, Kyle. I’m so proud of you. Filming isn’t what matters right now—what matters is that you’re taking care of yourself and your family. Jenny wanted you to continue through the grieving process, but now you’re a single dad with so much on your plate. It’s wonderful to see you and the kids happy, and doing well. I just know Jenny is incredibly proud of how strong you’ve been. Congratulations on Teacher of the Year! You truly deserve it.

Congrats Kyle! Your students are lucky to have you teach them. You are such a compassionate and dedicated human being. I'm sure you're making a huge difference in their lives.

[shelleybaker]

The young man inviting you to his play shows how much he looks up to you.

[speechtaught]

Congratulations Kyle! You should win father of the year as well. Get some rest. You look so tired.

[stacylein]

I like how the Van behind you is sitting there. Watching you as you're filming with their lights on.

[TheMelissarossi]

I remember when my father passed- the hardest thing was wishing he could see my son son hit a baseball or my daughter play Matilda. I’m a teacher too. It is such a blessing and fills my bucket (most days 😉)

[lynfalienergy]

Once a week cleaning person is an excellent idea. Imagine coming home to a clean house after work. You deserve it. ❤❤❤

Schools……please keep “ student” projects applicable to the age of This project is definitely a parent homework assignment!

Congratulations 🎉 on making it to 200k subs! Jenny is and ALWAYS will be my hero. She got u 190k and passed the baton to you. She was a smart amazing loving woman, person, wife, mommy and friend. I wish I knew her in life. But I feel like I do because I care so much about your family I know you hear this every day but you're doing an amazing job for the situation y'all have been dealt. Much love always, Daria❤

Kyle us emotional sensitive types soak it all in
& tire ourselves out.
Emotional hangover is a thing

[NBassREALTOR]

The end of this video reminded me of a funny short Jenny did about some clinical trial side effects❤ Kyle we always say it- you’re awesome. Still true! You were talking about the cliches becoming reality of how long the days but short the years are…it was never taught to me that life has seasons; more than just weather. Things come and go which can be upsetting. I looked forward to a main part of my life which is in the rear view mostly now so that has been a struggle. Just diff situs etc. I’m trying to grasp that times, ppl, events- they’re all in seasons. I have to gain a healthy perspective that they’re not going to last. Not to live in fear or dread though, just understand the reality. It also helps to have an eternal perspective bc then I can see everything here on earth is temporary. Anywho, thought I’d share back…not sure how much sense it makes outside my head 😂
