making the most of her last 3 weeks

my grandma was given a few weeks to live.. this is her story.

Best Day Ever Forever

about 2 months ago we visited my grandma bear to film a fun video with the fam. it was so special to see Adley playing in the house i grew up playing and to see grandma hold Niko for the first time. it was a perfect day.

before we even had a chance to edit and post the visit with grandma we were shocked by news that she had been rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a fast spreading cancer. after a day of tests the doctors said she had only a couple weeks left and she should spend them at home with family.

the next few weeks we visited often, they were some of the hardest weeks of my life but also some of the most important. we spent hours talking through memories and grandmas life. looking back those conversations impacted me so much i wanted to create a video and share her message with all of you.

"from the day you are born till you ride in a hearse, nothings so bad that it couldn't be worse. So be grateful for what you have."

love and appreciate all of you so much.
thank you for being apart of our family and motivating me to always stay positive and make everyday the best ever.
i know life got busy and we cant make a video everyday anymore, but i promise we still make them all best days ever. always.

love you grandma bear.

To Shaun and Travis and all the rest of the McBride family: I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm honored to have been able to edit this video and be, in a way, part of this time in your lives. Hopefully this video acts as a lasting memory to a wonderful woman and does justice to her memory. ❤

Dude, you made me cry and I haven’t cried like this in 32 years since I lost my grandmother. I had a very similar relationship with my grandmother and she passed when I was 17. Beautiful to see the love of your family.

[Arikel]

52 seconds in and I'm already crying, grandmas are just the absolute best.

[ceruleannoel]

This by far is your best work! Catching the memories for the future is just priceless. What a special woman😊

[Emmabird-yiep]

My grandma passed away on June 27th, a month after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. We spent everyday with her before she passed. She was awesome, and I would not trade the time we spent with her for anything in the world. She was our families anchor. She still is but that anchor weighs heavier on our hearts. So many memories that won’t be forgotten. Thank you for the video Shaun. It will get better. Much love!

[Dinkthemagnificent]

Seeing this really made me feel apart of the family and made it feel like I really got to know your grand ma.... Im so sorry Shaun... She will always be remembered and I've said this a lot but I want you to know I'm praying for you guys and wish you the best... God is still in control in this hard time... We all love you guys and we will always be here for yoy

I’m so sorry that you lost an amazing grandma rip grandma bear

[ggm]

OMG this video made me cry I'm so sorry for her, rest in peace, (stay strong !)

[MichaelBacon]

I know what it's like to grow up and be very close with your whole family. Some people won't get it. But I recently lost my grandfather and he and my grandmother helped raise me. So I know what you are going through. Just knowing you help make so many people happy and inspired and how she praised you for it should mean a lot to you. Your a great person and you can tell how incredibly proud of you she is.

[thechrishau]

This is so heartwarming it made me tear and remember about my other grandma sending prayings❤ bless you McBride family

[funwithfriends]

Thank you Shaun for sharing such a private intimate look into your grandmother's life. She is definitely a trailblazer and seems to be the glue that holds your family together. But on the flip side I can only imagine how difficult and heart wrenching of time it was for you and the entire family. Keeping you and your entire family in my prayers during this very difficult time. God bless.

I was really crying at 12:30 it made me think of my grandma and grandpa dying and it didn’t happen yet, but I won’t be a able to handle it, my parents were divorced, but my grandparents were always with me

[jarryjazz]

I've learnt so much from this. The elderly are so amazing and they teach you such amazing life lessons. May God bless you.
