If everyone had a dad as open,kind, honest, supportive and awesome as Aaron, the world would be a better place. ❤

Aaron is a great receiver of gifts. Not everyone receives gifts with such attention, genuine appreciation and enthusiasm.

It really choked me up watching Aaron go through such a hard time. It's always hard seeing good people like Aaron go through something like this. RIP Carol.

Aaron, my heart goes out to you in this time of grief. Losing my mom was one of the most emotionally challenging things I’ve gone through in this life. Know that there are many thousands of people, including myself, who are praying for you during this time. Your courage to talk about your loss on camera is profound. You and all your loved ones will be in my heart and prayers. Somehow we find the strength to move forward. ❤❤❤

Praying for Aaron & all the family. It’s so hard losing a parent. I lost my dad due to cancer almost 3 years ago. I’m truly so sorry. 💔♥️

The JOY on Aaron's face when he seen what he had been surprised with after having a rough day was unbelievable to see him so big. Love you guys ❤️

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom Aaron. You guys had a special bond that will never be broken. You will never stop missing her, but you will always have wonderful memories that someday will make you smile more than they make you cry. You are an amazing human being and a wonderful example to your family and friends.

I think the most amazing thing about Aaron is that even in the midst of his own pain, he’s still the most amazing dad. Being able to show your kids raw emotions and still pull through for them is a blessing. I’m hoping you guys lean on each other and come out of it even stronger 🫶🏼

Aaron is such a class act! As a now grown woman, I only can wish I would've had a dad like him!! I wish you the happiest of birthdays and please give yourself some grace as you move through the grieving process. There's no right or wrong way to do it God Bless

I’m so sorry for your loss Aaron! Losing someone so close to you during this time of year is never easy. Just know she is watching over you and all of the kids from heaven. The fact you guys somehow were able to stick to the Vlogmas schedule while dealing with such a huge loss shows how dedicated you are to your channel. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs with us. I’ll be praying for the entire Pettit family this holiday season.

My heart hurts for you Aaron. You will honestly be in my thoughts and prayers. The kids and Crystal are so truly blessed to have someone as great,caring,and loving as you are! I lost my sister,my best friend,and my rock 5years ago come Jan and the pain never goes away but you learn to deal with things because you know that they are pain free now and living in a much better life in heaven. Just know she will always be with you and you will meet again one day. My deepest condolences to you and the family and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a better and safe New Year 🎉❤️🙏

Happy birthday Aaron even through you are heartbroken your mama would want you to smile on your birthday ! You are the greatest gift she was given and joy you brought into her life. All mothers want is their children is to be loved and be happy healthy and succeed in life. You fulfilled everything she ever could have imagined. My heart absolutely breaks for you I know and understand the pain of losing a parent . And almost 4 years since I lost my dad I can honestly say I’m not over it at all . We love you and your family and many prayers being sent to you and your sweet family !!! Remember it is okay to Cry and It is okay to Smile 😊

My heart goes out to John, Aaron and the rest of the family. May the love you felt from Carol help you heal during the grieving process and give you strength.

Ah Aaron… I cried with you. May your mother Rest in Peace ❤️ The feeling of emptiness after losing a parent is beyond awful. My mum passed 5 years ago, I miss her everyday but that’s because she was so precious and gave me a reason to miss her - I was so lucky to have her for 33 years ❤ Sending love and prayers to you all ❤

I have essentially disowned my mother but this still made me get choked up. It's nice to see that people have good mothers who nurtured that bond, and it's incredibly sad to see how much it hurts for them to pass on. Sending love to Aaron and the family ❤ I hope being surrounded by loved ones made your birthday special

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss Aaron. Deepest sympathy and condolences for you and the family. Prayers going up for comfort and healing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Happy birthday wishes for brighter days to come. 🎉🎂🎈🎁🎊🥰

I lost my dad in July and the feelings are still Raw. Thank you for being open , honest, and real with your feelings. I am so very sorry for the loss of Aarons mom.

To Aaron: I just wanted to quickly tell you how much this video touched me. It's never easy to cope with the loss of a loved one, and I can empathize with how difficult it must be for you, especially on your birthday. It reminded me of my own struggles, especially around the Christmas season. I, too, have lost important people in my life, my grandfather, a good childhood friend of mine, and my uncle. Today, on Christmas Eve, I spent the day pretty much alone and can understand how it feels when a festive day seems more like a day to forget. The emptiness and pain can be particularly intense in those moments. It's important to understand that it's completely okay to struggle, especially on such days. Grief and pain take time to heal, and it's crucial to give yourself that time. Everyone deals with loss differently, and there's no right or wrong in this process. You're not alone in your feelings. I hope that despite everything, you find support and love in your family and surroundings. It's okay to withdraw on such days, but also leave space for the people who want to support you. All the best to you, and I hope the upcoming days become easier for you. It's a process, and you're doing great by openly talking about it. Merry Christmas to you, your beautiful wife, the coolest funcle Joe and your amazing children. It'll get better. Pinky promise.

Praying for your family. Happy birthday Aaron thank you for sharing your emotions. Your mama is in a great place and is so happy and healthy looking down on all you!

Happy Birthday Aaron! I’m glad you have your family to support you during this time. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I hope all the happy memories bring you peace. Keeping you in our prayers.

Aaron, everyone who has lost a parent knows how you are feeling. Thank you for being so raw about it. Grief is the price we pay for love. Sending comfort, peace and a promise that it will get better. The grief does become easier to bear.

Aaron, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Losing your parents is such a difficult thing. Both my parents have passed and the one thing that gets me through each day is to remember the good times, laughs and conversations. Talk to her like she's in the room with you bc she is watching you from heaven. Hope that helps. I cry to my Momma and Daddy when I'm sad and miss them and I feel so much better and at peace to get it off my chest.

Beautiful!!! Very touching!!! Prayers for your mom, Aaron. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦

I can feel your pain and understand how incredibly difficult losing a loved one, especially a parent is. My dad only had four months after his cancer diagnosis. My sister and I no longer enjoy our birthdays, which are both in February, as that’s the month he died. The firsts will be very difficult, but allow yourself to grieve. The pain doesn’t go away, you’ll just learn how to live without your loved one there. Give yourself grace to mourn and feel the sadness. Prayers for Carole’s soul and healing for your family, as they navigate life without mom/grandma.

Aaron, I’m truly sorry for your loss. I’m wishing you the best start to the new year that you can possibly have. Sending hugs

Sending you my condolences Aaron . Grief is hard . Take the time you need to yourself especially around the holidays . Please treat yourself to something special. We love you . take the time to heal .

My deepest condolences to you Aaron and the Pettit families. Wishing you a sweet birthday and Im sure your mum is smiling down on you today for she knows she raised such a wonderful man and dad. Lotsa ❤️ My prayers to you all

Aaron, I am so sorry for your loss but I am also encouraged by the love and support you have around you with your family and friends. it's good to laugh and cry when you feel like it, as that is a part of grieving. Bear in mind that our heavenly father understands as mentioned at Isaiah 41:10 He is there with you always. Crystal, you are an awesome partner! It's so good to see your bond. Coleen, NJ

So sorry to hear that, and sorry for your loss! I lost my mom December 30 2021 and it is so hard cause I miss her so much it hurts, so I know what you’re going through! My mom was my whole world, she lived with me and my husband and our two kids(her grandkids) the last 4 1/2 years of her life! So we saw her everyday and we all miss her so much! So just take it one day at a time and it’s okay to have some bad days and cry, and I had to have some days to myself! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family through these really hard days!

My deepest condolences Arron. I can't imagine the pain of losing a parent but you're a great son to your parents and have all those happy memories to cherish. My mom had a heart attack 3 days ago and the panic set in but I also have the peace of God, as I know you do. You have an amazing family and lots of support. Remember it's okay to not be okay sometimes.

Sorry for your loss just know she’s always around love you all been watching yall through some hard times of my life and I get so excited when there’s a new video because I save them to watch over and over again love you all

My heart grieves for you Aaron and your family. I lost both my elderly parents last year 4 months apart. Difficult to deal with is an understatement. No matter how old you are, missing your Mom who is the fabric of your life isn't easy. Just know she will always have a special place in your heart. 💙

I’m sorry for your loss Aaron. Sending lots of love and prayers to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss, sending much love and prayers for peace and comfort during this time. Love how Sadie knew that you needed comfort and came to sit with you both. Signs of a good therapy dog

Happy Birthday Aaron. Also I'm so sorry for your lost. RIP Carol. Aaron you have support and love from your family and friends.

So sorry for your loss. She will be watching over you for many years to come

My mum had dementia. I was her primary care giver. Feeling your pain Aaron. My daughters & I spent so much quality time with her. That I made sure of. Seeing her great grandchildren lit her up like a Christmas tree. Our mums know Aaron. Their thoughts & hearts are always about their grandchildren. Happy birthday Aaron. Our prayers are with you. Much love & light. 🙏❤😊

Prayers to Aaron and you all. Losing a parent is never easy. I lost both of my parents at 30 & 45. It still feels fresh. I hope you can find comfort in your memories and peace in knowing she's at peace. Merry Christmas!

Oh Aaron! I’m so sorry! I hope you find peace in all of this and comfort knowing she really is in a better place.

I am so sorry Aaron. I know how you feel my father died before Christmas it was the 16th of December and it is really hard but It will get better, just remember that your mom lived a good life. Happy Birthday, man. God loves you

Condolences on the loss of your mom, Aaron. Sending you and the family prayers of comfort.

Happy birthday Aaron. Sorry for the loss of your mum it is hard when you lose a parent or loved one.i loss my dad about 13 years ago and it is so hard the pain never leave you.god bless you and all your family

I'm sorry for you and your family's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hope you have a happy birthday and a Merry Christmas to all of you. You're an amazing person.

I’m so sorry Aaron it’s never easy losing a parent. My condolences to you and your family.

Happy birthday, Aaron. It is okay to not be ok. As long as you don't plan on staying that way. It is healthy to grieve. My mom passed away in 2007. It is just now that I can celebrate Christmas and my birthday without breaking out in tears. My mom pretty much did the same thing and waited a few days to say goodbye. This may sound a little off, but when you have put a lot in to care giving and they are free, it is a lift off of your shoulders. You are so blessed to have all of your family with you. Like Crystal said when everyone leaves you are on your own. I haven't had anyone since my mom passed. I encourage you to cry when you need to and don't stop until you are ready to stop. Don't try to prematurely stop it. Hug your nearest relative feeling the same way. You don't have to be superman because he is a fictional character. Does Jaime sell her bracelets? I want to buy one.

Happy birthday Aaron sending lots of thoughts and prayers to you. I know by the time you see this it’s Christmas so merry Christmas to your family. Hope y’all have the best day ever and I will be sending my prayers to y’all during the holidays. I love you guys.

Oh Aaron! I am so sorry. I truly understand that loss and the pain that comes with it. I will be praying for you.
