4 Days Van Camping in Ireland

I don't know if you will see this, Maria, but I just want to say that I'm so proud of you for knowing what you need for your mental health. I know it's never easy to lose a loved one, especially one as magical as Blue. It's so incredibly important to allow yourself to mourn in exactly the way you know how. We love you. We, too, miss Blue, and we are all here for you more than you know. 💙 💙💙

Grieving is hard. It is HARD. But NEVER be afraid to cry, to feel sad. And NEVER be afraid to feel happy and joyful in your memories, as well.

My heart has been breaking for you. All of us who watched you and Blue will never forget him. He’s now your guardian angel-pup.

Today is my Mom's birthday. She passed away 13 years ago and I miss her everyday. When you were at arrivals I was hoping your Mom would be coming to be with you, so special! Thank you for sharing her, Ireland and your wonderful adventures! 💙💙💙

We all loved Blue. Glad to see you back.

Blue literally lived every day in dog heaven, thanks to you, Maria, and your adventures. Wherever Blue is now, he must be like “been there, done that!”

I’m an almost 52 year old guy and I caught myself crying about half the time through the video. It’s good to see you making videos again Maria and it was great to see that your mom came to join you in Ireland.

I'm glad you are getting a change of scenery. I'm a funeral director, my fur baby passed right after Blue did, she was 13 but, I am still devastated. I thought I was prepared, I wasn't. I don't think that when you feel such love for another creature, that the loss can be anything but, heartbreaking. Keep caring for you and Taz and know that you'll be reunited with Blue someday. Sending you much love. 💛

The eggs in Europe are not refrigerated because unlike in the US, they are not washed. As such, they retain a natural protective barrier which helps prevent spoiling. Glad to see you back. So sorry about Blue.

I've been nervous to watch your videos moving forward because the loss of Blue feels so intense (and present) but quite honestly even just a few minutes into this video even though I'm not seeing him actively with you I feel so surely he's here with us. Just like how we're all with you on these trips, but not quite THERE with you. I feel like Blues spirit is heavily present. Glad you're treating yourself, a little change is good!

Grief is surprisingly so hard physically as well as emotionally. Just totally draining. Taking yourself on this trip is a gift. Blue is with you wherever you go. Beautiful photography. Thanks for taking us along.

I have been praying for you. Grieving takes time. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. So happy that your Mom joined you.

I have never posted on anyone’s channel before, I’ve been living vicariously through your adventures for about 6 months now. I’m 52 and once my adult kids get some stability I plan on venturing out to fulfill my dreams. I cried when I heard about Blue, it’s so difficult when we lose our best friend. I cried again seeing the surprise was your sweet momma. So thankful your mom could join you and support you through your grief and adventure. Sending you a virtual hug!

The girl with a hurting heart continues ti warm our hearts! Please know that you are loved by many! one day at a time little lady!

Oh sweet girl….I’m so glad you took time for yourself. The sadness in your body language speaks volumes. I’m sending tons of positivity your way.

I started crying when i saw your mom. So glad you have her with you during this tough time.

I lost my wife of 35 years 3 days before you lost Blue. My condolences to you.

Omg. It’s so good to see you back. We love you Maria and we love blue. He will always be in our hearts.

I have prayed everyday that God will help you thru this loss. My search thru the Bible, knowing we will see our loved ones, gave a foggy reference to the pets we formed a close attachment. But then it says that when heaven is placed on Earth, we will be loved and love one another. I can't see how Heaven can be just us and God without our pets. So I believe we will not only see our pets but will live forever with them by our side again. So I can't wait until I see Blu and you Maria together again, I'll hug you both.

You know, of course, that we invented scenery, and coffee, and roads, and castles, and holy places, and healing! As an Irish subscriber I was so filled with joy at seeing you explore my back yard - nice to see you in settings familiar to me, and my old college at Trinity! Glad your lovely Mum joined you too. Sending you healing prayers and thoughts, cead mile beannacht (a hundred thousand blessings)! May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, the rain fall soft into your life, the sun shine warm upon your face, and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
