So glad you are on the mend! Thank you for being so open. Praying for your continued recovery.

Hi Melanie, I’m so sad to hear about your health struggles. I hope you feel well soon and continue to grow stronger with each week. I only discovered your channel after randomly deciding I wanted to take up a hobby in mid December. The next day I was out buying yarn and crochet needles and now I’ve made all my nearest and dearest a scarf each! I found your channel whilst you were going through your toughest times health wise so I just had to comment and send you my love and appreciation from London, U.K. Thinking of you and your family, best wishes x

I'm so sorry to hear this Melanie! Please rest and relax and heal. You'll be in my thoughts.

Invoking a blessing of favor for continuing healing, returning to YOU, and moving forward. Prayers for you & your family & friends.

I'm so glad you are recovering-and like everyone is posting, please dont worry about disappointing anyone-we all understand❤️ your health and family come absolutely first,always. I found you about a year ago?or so,when I decided to finally teach myself crochet(something I had wanted to do for a long time),and basically learned from you!So thankyou for all that you do❤️

So glad youre on the mend. Take care of yourself and your family, everything else can wait. Prayers are with you.

I’m sorry you had such a health scare. I’m glad to see you looking healthy and beautiful. Take your time on returning back to work, we totally understand. I’ll keep you in my prayers 💕🙏🏻

🕊💫 Rest in peace beautiful Melanie. You will always be a part of our crochet worlds 💕 thank you for all your wonderful videos.

I am so glad you are ok. I haven't shared but I've made so many hats from your tutorials. You inspired me to learn to crochet. Take time to heal. We'll be here.

I am wishing for your good health. You have recently completely inspired me to take up sewing. Your videos are so helpful. I am currently obsessed with the box pouch that you posted (I have made 6 in the last week). Can’t wait to see more content from you. Hoping everything is going to get better for you. Thank you for your amazing videos

I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through all that, but happy you are doing better my prayers to you and the family..our health is more important than anything much love and peace 💕

Prayers for you! I know how fast your life can go sideways. March 5,2017 we lost our youngest daughter in a car accident. She was a beautiful 17 year old senior out on a date with her boyfriend. It was a normal day for our perfect family and then our world came crashing down. I’m so glad you had a good out come with your scare. I love your Chanel and learning to craft and sew has been an outlet for me during my grieving process. I think I has honestly kept me from going insane and may have just help save my life. It started as a way to remember my daughter as we always said we wanted to learn calligraphy. One day while feeling particularly sad I was scrolling through KZfaq and came across a handlettering video and decided to teach myself in honor of my daughter. My crafting spiraled from there to sign making and most recently sewing. KZfaqrs like yourself have no idea of the impact your content can make in a strangers life. So for that thank you! Sorry for the long post but this topic really struck me. Best wishes to you.

Hi Melanie, God has truly bless you! I'm so glad for you. Take care and thank you for so many helpful videos.

Thanks for your update. I will continue prayers for you. You are the very first KZfaqr that I watched for crocheting. You taught me how to crochet the easy baby blanket. My granddaughter loved it.(was for my 1st great-grandson) Take care and may God bless you and yours.

Get better, that's all that matters. We are praying for your full recovery. You look great by the way. We will be here, promise.

I am so glad it’s not cancer. Feel better soon. Yes surgery does take a lot out of you. I just had shoulder surgery. Very difficult. I can’t crochet for awhile. Looking forward to your future videos. Prayers to you as well.

You are an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you health and time to heal and feel better.

Glad you feeling better and. Iam praying 🙏🏿 for your continue healing. Blessings to you and your family.

Be well, sweetie. We will wait for you. Sending good thoughts 😘

So glad you are doing well, Melanie!!!! My baby sister had her kidney removed due to cancer when she was a toddler, and close to 40 years later, she is still going strong. You will get stronger each day. And now you have a testimony to share with others who may be going through such a stressful time. You are such a beautiful person.

Melanie thank God that you are doing fine and thank you for sharing. I will definitely have you in my prayers. God bless.

Take Care Melanie will be praying for you. You made sewing simpler-Thank You

Greetings from Johannesburg South Africa. Thank heavens you are ok and on the mend. 🙏🙏🙏

Whenever I begin a new project, I remember how it was YOU who sparked my interest in crocheting. You were a bright, beautiful light in this world, and you are sorely missed. Rest in peace, sweet Melanie.

So glad you're healing. Thanks for all you do!!!

You are such a precious person, so inspiring! I pray your strength returns & you stay healthy.

Prayers for a full recovery. Your health is what's important for you and your precious family. Take the time to heal. We will be here for you.

Rest in Peace Melanie. You will be missed. Prayers to your family. Thank you for teaching me how to crochet when I was ill. You helped me through a difficult time. May your light shine bright above.

All the best for good health, Melanie. Blessings to you.

Bless you Melanie. I wish you a speedy recovery. Xx

I wish you a year of health and creativity. ❤️

You’re sweet. Worrying about our loyalty should not be on your list of concerns. Prayers for you and your family.

I am so happy that you are feeling better Melanie. You take care and make sure you fully recover. 😀

Glad you are on the mend. Speedy healing!

Continuing to send you prayers. I have Lupus and several other auto immune diseases so I totally get that life is full of ups and downs and lots of curve balls. Please don't feel bad about things you feel you should have done. Your health comes first and everything else can wait. All of your fans/friends will be here praying for you and will be ready for more videos and tutorials when you are ready to begin again. So take care of you and everything else will fall into place when the timing is right.

Melanie, don't worry about people wondering when you're going to put another video out. Just keep on recuperating from major surgery. Whenever you do another video is up to you and how you feel. Prayers to you.

Bestest wishes to you and your family Melanie. I wish you good health and a speedy recovery x

good luck Melanie, thanks for all the great vids you have done.

I'm so sorry Melanie passed away at such a young age. Praying for God to comfort her husband and children.

Melanie you are in my prayers and thoughts. I lost my Dad this past October to a degenerative lung disease, so I know how stressful time in the hospital is and how scary it all is. Take the time you need to heal physically and emotionally/mentally/spiritually. We love the beautiful content you make but we love you most of all. Wishing you all the best for a speedy and full recovery.

I’m so thankful you r doing better. God Bless You!

Love and prayers for your recovery and I’m so glad you’re ok!

I'm glad it wasn't cancer. Take care of yourself first and we'll be here when you're up to it.

So glad to hear your prognosis. Kidneys are very cool things, but you only need 1/3 of one to function normally. You will do fine with the single. Surgery recovery is a roller coaster and it will take several more weeks to regain your normal activity level. Be kind and patient with yourself.

So good to see you! Continued prayers for complete healing! Take care. ❤️❤️

Praise God!! You will get better!! Thank you for sharing and you are in my prayers!! God has blessed you 🙏🏻

You will forever be an inspiration to me Mel!! Rest and create wherever you may be sweet angel! 💚

Hi! A few years ago I had kidney cancer. Because of where it was located, they had to take my entire kidney. Prayers to you. Stay healthy, drink water, limit sodium and you should live the life you would have with 2 kidneys.

So glad doing better. I love your videos and take care of yourself.

So glad you're doing good. You take care of you right now. Thanks for this video.

So glad to see you back. Thanks for coming on - make sure they keep an eye on the other kidney. My husband had kidney cancer and within a year also had it in the other kidney. Fortunately the first time, they were able to save the kidney, but they were not able to save the next kidney.

Take care of yourself. When things like that happen suddenly it is physically AND mentally traumatic. Make sure you give some thought to the mental part of this too. Show yourself a little kindness!

Great to see you in this video. Still keeping you in my prayers for complete healing and for you family and kids. Take care, thanks for the update.

Hi Melanie ,so sorry you have been ill. I just wanted you to know that your videos inspired me to continue to try to learn to crochet. I made the Beachy Shawl and it turned out pretty well.l have been praying for you. Hope you are much better by now.

Sending many prayers your way Melanie 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼. That is a lot to go through, so take care of yourself first and we will still be here patiently waiting 😘💗...no worries about that! 😊

When I watch Melanie in her videos, I can’t help but be sad of her passing. I am in disbelief. My condolences to her family. Thank you for all your video tutorials. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I have learned quite a bit from you. Rest In Peace beautiful soul.

I’m very happy all went well!! Glad you are getting stronger and have a positive road ahead🙏🏻

Keeping you in my prayers, Melanie. Take the time to heal. God Bless you and your family 🌹🌹🌹

Will be keeping you in my prayers .... take care of yourself and take time to heal. Just lay back in God’s arms and soak up all of his love !!

You are a jewel in the Lord's crown ,you are loved and will be sorely missed. Prayers to you and your family.

So glad a full recovery is in your future! We love you and will all still be here when you get better. 💕 Praying sis!!!!

Blessings Melanie I’m sorry you have been through so much. Prayers and love. Continue to recuperate at your pace. ❤️

I know exactly how u feel. I had kidney cancer in both kidneys and now only have 2/3 of one kidney. It takes about 18 months for your body to recover from the surgery. Strange symptoms appear and disappear. Glad u didnt have cancer but please dont be hard on yourself if you dont feel as well as you think you should. I have only recently found your channel, I'm trying to learn some crafts to keep me busy as I no longer am able to work. I guess there was a reason I saw ur channel that has now become clear. If you need some support as you get better please feel free to reach out, there are not too many people in the world that are female, and as young as us that have this problem. X

I just got to know you darling . I'm so sorry that god has taken you to heaven. I watch all your video . you was very brave and strong . I have had cancer twice . your a very special angel . all my love to your husband and children 🧚‍♂️ Abigail uk

Hi Melanie, you take care of yourself first. You will definitely be in my prayers. Totally enjoy your videos.

So happy everything turned out well, get well soon. Many prayers to you too!
