Your Dad is all around you - you just can’t actually see him. My dad passed 7 years ago on 12/21 and, on that date last year, he sent me an unmistakable gift. One of our neighborhood squirrels came up to me and, for the first time in the 26 years I’ve lived here, she took a peanut from my hand. Thanks Dad, I miss you……❤

It’s 5 years on 21/01/24 for me. He never got to see the house I’m in now- but once we moved in a cat came every morning meowing, would cuddle for a bit and then leave. 💚 after a month he left…. And I felt better xx dads are the best thing in life and even if I got 30 more years of him, it wouldn’t have been enough xx

I can definitely see his spirit (and that of your mother) in you. I was stunned at how much your brother Noah looks like your dad! I'm so glad they were both able to travel to your space and celebrate with you. What an adventure. (And seeing Akela comfort you. You two are so connected and it's beautiful.) I know you are not super comfortable with these types of videos but I am thankful and humbled that you opened up your heart in this one. May your dad rest in peace knowing he and your mom set their children out with amazing skills and memories.

I understand your feelings and pain! My dad died when I was 23. He was the adventurous one in our family and I followed in his footsteps. I loved him so much and enjoyed all our Colorado vacations. He was packing the trailer to go to Colorado elk hunting that cold day he passed away, unexpectedly on our farm. My mom still lives on our farm about 10 min away from where I live now. It's so wonderful to have the farm my dad worked so hard for. He would have been retired now, fishing, hunting, enjoying his farm and the mountains is where you would have found him. It's hard, HE was my favorite thing about life! HE will always be. I was blessed to enjoy the adventures that I could with my dad. I enjoy the mountains of Colorado when I can, where I feel very close to him and the memories we had every summer camping in the mountains. Many blessings to you and your new land. I didn't know Elsa and Barron were your neighbors!! I follow them to. I love that so much ❤

Like you, I lost my mother when I was 24 yrs old. My life has been full of loss. My brother at 13, my mother at 24, my grandmother and several aunts and uncles along with a miscarriage the same year as my mom. My Dad passed 10 yrs to the day, same place and nearly the same time as my mom (the love of his life), three more miscarriages and then the hardest, my 20 yr old son. I won't lie and say that time heals everything. What I can say is that, like you hitting water in the desert, the deep holes left in our hearts somehow grow beautiful flower gardens around them. And though they may still be watered with our tears they become easier to visit. Bad memories fade and the good become treasures. ❤ God Bless you...sending much love. ❤

And now, my view from our home we bought 2 years ago, is Backbone Mountain. He was born just the other side of the ridge that I gaze upon every day. When mom and I sit on the porch in spring and summer, it hits hard knowing just how much he would absolutely love where we are now… so I replay those stories to my kid, and often just in my head.. because it’s all I’ve got now. ❤

I am touched by your story. The loss of your dad has been an undercurrent on your channel, not always prominent, but with you, and so a part of your story. I think you are blessing everyone who watches your story here. Americans don’t do grief well. We don’t make it a part of our shared culture, “not burdening” others. We are so often tongue tied about it, so I see your bravery and the blessing you are bestowing by sharing. Thank you. If I may, I’d like to remember my mother here too… I’m 59. My mother died when I was 34. It wasn’t my first loss. It’s very unlikely to be my last. I know in some deep place that I’ll outlive nearly everyone I love as the years of my life pass. I have always thought so. Grief has been part of my life since I was a girl. My mother was a nurse. She loved it. She took care of my grandfather, and others. And I watched the death process first hand, and serious illness for that matter. 34 was quite a while ago. Months might pass without thinking of my mom or someone else I’ve lost. And then something beautiful will happen and the grief is no less, stealing my breath with the yearning that Mom was here to share the joy with me of watching my grandchildren. Or when I graduated college in 2015. She always pined the loss of college for herself. My son was the first and I was the second to graduate in our family. I could almost see her standing beside my son, watching me. Or I get out the game my grandfather made and think of my family playing it for so many hours. And then, the moments pass and the grief seems gone again. It doesn’t cloud everything. It doesn’t spoil my happiness or the greatness of any moments, but it’s a part of my life. I accept it the way I accept a worn out shirt she gave me, that it’s time to let go of. Or the way my hair looks just like hers or when I hear a phrase leap out of my mouth that I heard her say so many times. She’s with me. And still, I am older than she was when she died. I have been fortunate to know some amazing women, younger, older. Every one of these women are her, saying the countless things she might have said that I still need to hear. That’s the grace of life. I think that those of us who sit in companionship with this aspect of life, are especially blessed because our hearts are open and wondering and jubilant in a way a person just can’t be if death and loss are unspeakable. You are doing something beautiful in these moments, remembering him. That’s a good energy to bring to your new home. Congratulations on your new home, your new relationship this past year, new friends, lots of fun challenges. I’m so very happy for you. I’m sure he is too. ❤ A suggestion? Make a spot for him there. A bench by a particular vista. Plant something he loved. Whatever holds meaning. Then you can visit together there…

Yes, many of us have had to deal with grieving the loss of loved ones, I hope you know you're not alone with that. I also suspect you are able to talk to your family about it, which often ends in laughter after the tears, at least it has in my family. I have lost 5 of the 6 family members I grew up with. Today my younger brother would have turned 60, we lost him 12.5 years ago. His widow shared a video of their youngest daughter in a video doing a retro ski week dance for the ski area she works for. Certainly made her mother and I laugh, and we are both grateful she's as silly as her father was. I hope you take comfort in knowing your dad is enjoying your success with you, as you know he would.

❤💔 Another amazing video. I cried start to finish. When you mentioned the anger of your dad not being able to be here for this big thing in your life, I felt that. It’s been 4 years and 2 months since I lost my mom and while it has gotten better, I’m still angry and still so hurt that my biggest fan isn’t here to see the life I’m living now. She was the only person who didn’t call me crazy when I first said I wanted to be a nomad. She was excited for me. She even helped me remove the bus seats before she was diagnosed. We were going to go to Skooliepalooza 2020 together, but she never made it. I moved into the bus Nov 11th 2019, she passed Nov 17th. Thank you for talking about grief. ❤ It helps.

My dear you are sooo blessed. I truly am jealous of all the love you've had and still have in your life. Please , even with the grief, enjoy it all. The grief means you had that time, that person and those memories. Embrace it along with the love you still get. Both are so much more than some may ever have or understand in their life. Blessings to you young lady. 🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊💜💜💜

I just want to say that I don’t watch KZfaq except for when I search how to videos. I stumbled upon your channel and I binge watched every video and now that I am all caught up I’m distraught. You are lovely and inspiring and I fully understand your grief with the loss of your parent. Keep on doing what you are doing girl and please hug your mom extra tight the next chance you get for me, I sure wish I could hug mine. ❤

Linnea, This was especially beautiful as I’m a loving dad estranged from two of my daughters. It has been so hard, and not a day goes by where I don’t think of them and pray for them. Your dad would be so proud, and he lives on in you, be the reason someone smiles today! Bryan from Vancouver

I certainly can’t feel how your feeling because I lost my Dad back in 23 (26June-6pm) here at my home with the family doesn’t matter how old you are I’m 51 but I can’t tell you how much I miss him we are a close family and we appreciate things in life as you should we laugh about certain things, mum lives with us in a granny annex that they where having built while we were taking care of dad but unfortunately he didn’t get to see it all done so it’s a completely new start for mum she’s 81 and has family and grown up grandchildren around her all the time but sad to see her on her own. Enjoy every day on your new property it’s lovely and you can speak to your Dad at anytime and shed those tears take care. Juliet🤗🇬🇧❤️🐶🐾

I cried with you, having lost my parents, a brother and more recently my son 18 months ago (he was almost 41). He and I shared adventurous personalities. Death is a very difficult part of life for those we leave behind. So glad for you. Your mother and your brother were able to come support your dream.

Thank you so much for making this video Linnea. I am grieving my mother and my uncle who passed away five months apart both from severe illness. Sometimes it really helps to hear that others are struggling too. Best wishes and big HUGS!

I lost my 31 year old son 6 months ago. I just want to say that hearing you speak about grief and missing your dad was so comforting for me. You are right.. when we grieve we tend to feel so alone in it, and yet, if we live as a human, at some point we will experience the loss of someone that we love. It is devastating. For me, it had made me question all that I am and my purpose living on this earth. People such as yourself, who are honest and real, living their authentic lives, help me see the goodness in breathing in and out each day. Thank you. 🙏🏻💔
