25 and still learning that as well and unfortunately it just makes me wanna try too fill the void and then when we get closer I get the fear of being abandoned again. Well said.
I came to know Jesus to late in life and It almost cost me an amazing wife and my son. Don’t fall into the divorce trap and cherish your wife so you don’t have to watch someone else cherish her
My son just moved out of state to chase his own path in life. He sent this song to me today and I cursed him for making this grown man cry. I’m also my daddy’s son, so I felt it twice. Good job man. Keep writing!
Yep' mine just turned 22, I've let the ropes go. He's his on man, but I told him on the phone I love you son..I caught my self and said No...I'm in love with you son...!
This is coming from a mom.. I’m always apologizing for what my hubby and I didn’t do rite. He tells me mom .. if it wasn’t for your and dads rules. I wouldn’t be the man I am now..He’s 34 with 2 boys of his own now. He is a police officer of 10 yrs now. I tell my husband all the time. If we did anything rite as young kids who made a child. Was raise him to be a awesome man. God bless all the dads. I miss mine so badly. ✨✌️💜🎶
Oh my, i'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. Hearing from my dad, as a 13 and 16 year old boy that I was not welcome in his "new family" with a new woman broke me. I did not even hear from him when my daugther was born. My duty here in life is to be that supporting, present and loving dad, that I never had...
Never told anyone my story because no one cares but I really do understand man my mom and dad had to give me up to grandma because they couldn't take care of me then when my Grandpa died my grandma went 30 days later so I moved with my dad who could barely handle him self and his wife overdosed on Xanax 1 month later then a year so later CPS took my sister and me til they placed us in a foster home that lasted a few until even more happened and fast-forward to today I now have a mortgage a son with another son on the way with a loyal woman sad part is my dad met my sisters kid within a week he hasnt met mine or seen me in almost 8 years only sharing because im trying to become that dad I never really had either brotha so hang in there man we were given this path for a reason
I'm talking to the parents here. Always make sure to tell your children your love and how proud you are. Even if they're not what we expected them to be. I lost my son. He was on his way to my home. He got off the city bus. To cross the street. I must a truck a pickup truck. My baby lay there on the road by Himself he died at 11:57 PM. He didn't have no ID on. Him He had lost it a couple days before. But that night I felt something within me I remember saying God. Please protect Jesse Keep him safe. I went to sleep. I get a knock at the door that morning. Ask me If I knew a Jesse Erwin I said yes, he's my son,, is everything okay? There's been an accident.. I said where he told me. I said what hospital is he at so I could get there? He said I'm sorry to tell you, but your son didn't make it..My world stopped It was. like an echo coming out of the man's voice. Please always tell your children you love them. and that you forgive them? For anything that your child may have done or you have done please .You may not know when it will be your last God bless you
So sorry for your loss. I'm an old man now, it was different back in my day. Dad was a great man. I know he was proud of me, but didn't say it much. When he did it was special.
I'm so so sorry for your loss 💯💔 Hope your days have picked up a bit 💜💛 I lost my dad in December 2023, and I'm an exact spitting image of my father 💯 I can only imagine how my mother feels 💔💔 R.I.P. old boy, I'd rather be a spitting image of you than not have any similarties 💯 Thankbyou for everything 💯💔🔥💜💛😭🍻🇵🇬
@@Moses1973 That's exactly how my old man was, very old fashioned, but when he said "he was proud of me" and stuff like that, felt like I was on top of the world! 💯 None of that anymore, but he knows we all love and miss him 💯💯💯🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬💔💔💔💔💔💔💛💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
😢😢 so sorry for your loss for me it was death of my Father in 2010. I just can't get over it. His death has been the most painful & traumatic time for me.
@@thatreadboy I'm not one to give advice, but just be a brother not a father... Assure you it's difficult for even us seasoned dad's to walk the line of trying to be their friend AND parent... Just be his big brother and an ear to listen when he wants to talk, siblings have to be there for each other long after mom and dad have left this world. Nurture that relationship, I wouldn't advise taking on a fatherly role as it may just make him resentful and push you away. God Bless you and KNOW that the BOND between father and son has ZERO limitations even in death
My dad just past away...and this song just came on with no name...at my house....thank you for that dad...I don't know this singer...but you just said it all...thank you
I wish I knew my dad I tracked him down to meet his grandson he gave me his number and he passed away before I ever used it I never got the chance to talk to him cuz the only time we met was so awkward our wives did all the talking we never spoke and I'll regret it for the rest of my life
@@maxtouchet1658 Dont ever regret anything maybe yall were only truly ment to speak when yall did just so u had closer dont ever beat urself up about things that r out of ur control thats the path ment for u
I lost my dad when he was only 42, I was 14. This song really hits home cause still to this day my mom tells me how much I was like him. I couldn’t be more proud every time she says this. I’m now 59 and taking care of my mama the way she took care of my daddy til his last breath when he died in her arms. I know he is still with me as I follow in his footsteps with courage and good heart. Hope you’re proud of me daddy.i miss you, I’m my daddy’s daughter ♥️
It takes what it takes. 💯 I was able to give my dad a sober son the last 5 years of his life. Prior to that I was an alcoholic and a junkie for 20 yrs 8 yrs of sobriety now. You'll have good days and bad ones you just have to have hope and hold onto the good memories. I still sob in my truck like a baby sometimes. It's all a process. I'm proud of you and I believe in you.
Eventually you’ll be able to start seeing him without it hurting so much. 😔 been about 5 years to the day now. Very recently started reminiscing on his life without so much pain. Hang in there.
I lost my father when I was 14, I am 23 now. I can't hear this song without thinking about him. I cherish every memory and lesson he taught me. I am also thankful for my coach/pastor who took me under his wing and was like a second father to me.
I’ll never know the loving and comfort of a dad. But I pray my son will have this relationship with his daddy. That’s all I ask for, Lord. To let my son have what I didn’t. 🥺
This song brought tears to my eyes, took a moment to stop what im doing and give my 5yr old boy a big hug and hold him there for a moment. This is REAL country music. I appreciate you for this song.
I'm a daddy's girl, I lost a son, my dad and two months later my granddaughter, my baby is 22. I've been a single mom since he was 2. I hug that young man every chance I get.
Ive never had a dad. Hell i never had a man tell me they were proud of me. Now i got two young boys of my own, im jus trying to be like the dads in thw country songs
Hey mate your sons have a Father they know and can look up to, you broke the cycle. I’m proud of you and you should be too it’s a hard thing to do is it learn how to be something you’ve never been taught. ✌🏼
You can do it. Always be there no matter how hard it gets. Never give up on them. Love them and teach them all you know. God. Country. Guns. I will be praying for you.
I understand how you feel I grow up the same way. I have a family of my own now with a 14yr old son I try my best everyday to show my son the love of a father that I never had in my life you can do it show your boys the love you have for them like are fathers never showed any of us that knows what not having father
My oldest is in Nashville chasing this dream. I didn’t support him like I should’ve when he was younger. If you read this son your dad loves you and is proud of you! 🤟🏻 Give it your best shot.
Lost my Dad a year ago today and this hits home so much. I pray that some day I can right my wrong and let my Dad know how much I really needed him. Living on God's promises that I see him again someday
Wow. When my father was alive. I would come sit down with him in his room and say. "Hey dadddy" I did ever since I was 13. When his cancer took my father from me. My mother said "son your dad wanted me to let you know. He loved how you always greeted him. Hey daddy." I never knew how much I loved someone until I watched him take his last breath.
I been there. I watched my Daddy take his last breath after cancer beat him up. Toughest man I ever knew. Guess cancer was tougher. Biggest hardest working man I ever knew. And fought all the way to live. I will see him again.
it's been a couple years since you've gone dad, im crying while i type this but i need to. i turned 24 today dad i dont know why its hurting so much right now, but i miss you so incredibly badly dad. mom is doing alright and so are my siblings. im trying to navigate life but its so hard, i wish you were here to teach me more things, if i could only hear you say you love me one more time . . . thats all id want for my birthday today. if anyone reads this im sure youve heard this a million times but dont take your time with your loved ones for granted. for better or worse its all you get. I love you dad -R.I.P Randy April 12th 2022
Dude I lost my dad on April 18th 2012. Seems like yesterday. Brought tears to my eyes man. We take for granite the time we have here. Then it's gone in the blink of an eye. My dad passed 3 weeks before my first kid was born. Wished he would have gotten to meet his papaw. One hell of a man. Miss you dad. Love ya and everything's alright. Thanks for your comment man.
Brother I understand. Gotta remember the times when we had them. My hardest understanding is not knowing I didn't know everything. And I took for granted all those teachings and lessions.only getting a small glimpse as a father and hindsight
Dude I know it must hurt, but they never leave us. They are with you beside u and within u. U are his home now and all the ancestors that came before u so that u could be exactly where u are right now. Stay strong brother ❤
He read it. He's watching over you. Take time meditate, get into the peace state of mind and he will show up. You'll feel it. Maybe you already have. :) My Dad passed April 29, 2009. I think about him everyday. I was 18 years old when he passed, I am 34 now, and it's been a long painful road, however I am happy I am still here because I have loved ones to be here for on this earth. Yes, do not take your connections for granted. Have love and peace. God Bless!
😭 I came across this song and it so describes my Son. When he was growing up on this old farm he would often butt heads with his Dad, chores, rules, etc. My husband taught him to work hard, even if it caused them to argue, fuss and fight over who was wrong and who was right. There came a time when despite the love, he went his own way, and sadly stayed away. October 3, 2014 My husband passed away, and before he took his last breath he said, "I've made peace with him Momma, I Pray he comes home to you someday". 😭 That Day came 4 months ago and it is amazing to see the difference in him. HE IS HIS DADS SON!! He is back on the farm, taking care of things here, owns his own business, cares for his children despite opposition from 2 failed marriages, and I know his Dad is looking down from Heaven proud that he came home to the family that never stopped loving him and Praying for him. I'm not well and he makes sure I am cared for, because he is his DADS SON 💙
@jose Haro Bless You and your family. I just read this to my Son and we will both be Praying for you. 🙏💙 You do have Our Heavenly Father who is the Father to the fatherless, He will guide you and teach you to be an Amazing Dad, because you are Gods Son. My God Bless You Today and Everyday 🙏💙
My Dad left when i was 3. But the man i call Dad passed away in 2020. He taught me everything I know and do. He wasnt the most syphothetic or emotional man. But he came and he stayed! he did not have to do that! I Love and miss him everyday. This song hits such a cord! God Bless you SIR!
I don't have a dad so I don't feel the same like the ones that do. But whoever needs to hear this your dad loves you and remember you are your daddy's son. .
Man I had a rough day being a dad... my boy did everything opposite of what I asked and man I felt defeated after today... It was a day that I felt like I failed as a dad... hearing this song leveled me out... I can't dwell on a bad day when I am so blessed everyday.
There of 2 daughters,16 and 22. I too feel like I have failed in so many areas. Can't go back,just have to trust their is a lesson I. There somewhere for them as well as me
I got a boy and girl myself. And I truly do believe being a parent is the hardest job in the world. You can hope what your parents taught you will translate through but it’s truly daily on the job training.
Not gonna lie, i dont have the strength to listen to this unless im drinkin. Lost the old man a year ago, sent this to him about 3 months before he passed and cussed me for days for makin him cry. Now i do whenever it pops up
My father died when I was 26 the last time I saw him I was 18. A lot of you are so fortunate to have your fathers at later ages. I’d give up my life to spend time with my dad for a day.
You hit home with this. Man I’m crying like a baby over here. Lost my dad back in may 2020 me and the ole lady got a son due in June. The number one thing I wanted was my dad to meet his grandkid. He may be gone but I know he is looking down smiling and proud. Love you pops
I’m my daddy’s son but he was never there for me like I wished he would be. This song gives me visions of what it would be with him there for me. And I honestly look and act just like him but I’m trying to build a relationship with him. I just wish that someone would pray for me and him and our relationship. Thank You Everyone🙏🏻
It is when we put our Faith,Hope & Love in JESUS CHRIST our prayers our heard Prayers From Springfield Illinois My son & I haven't spoke in 20 years,But I have hope Danny Richards Follower of JESUS
My old man is my stepfather and I haven’t ever looked at him no different. He’s my father. He took me in when I was 13 and now I’m 31. My old man still right there.
To anybody whos lost somebody just know it's people like this young man who are here to get our emotions out. It's healthy and don't fear the tears just do it with a smile of good memories, I'm sure I speak for most of these people in the comments when I say we all wish you the best and to stay strong we are all in the same boat some day so let's care about each other today.
The fact that I still have my old man sure as hell didn’t stop a tear from coming to my eye. Something this good isn’t very common anymore. Keep it up!
My Dad just recently had a stroke and has Bell’s palsy it’s getting better, but time flies by so fast. And I cry because both of my parents and brother are growing up I rarely see my brother anymore. 😥 I’m praying life just gets better, especially for Humanity as a whole.... please let’s all show how much faith and hope we all have for not just our next door neighbor or friends but as a whole planet and race. Give Thanks, Give when needed and be Humble
Well said man. Best of luck I get it time does fly. They say its relative... I say its relatively fast. But make the most and take your own advice as I should mine.
When you have a real father that’s been there and always made sure you understood how to become a man , then this song hits just a little bit different ✍🏽💯
This song really hits home. I Lost my Dad in 2012 when I was 25. It’s been a rough ride trying to piece it all together on my own and find my way through life. Watching him take his last breath is something I’ll always remember. Not because I want to remember his passing, but rather to remember how in that exact moment I realized how much I really loved my dad. I’m 37 now and living life to its fullest raising my son and loving every moment of it. I think about how much my Dad would’ve loved him and how proud he would’ve been. If you’re reading this Dad, I love you. I miss you and I hope I make you proud.
I'm 54, I lost my Dad on Thursday 08.02.24 I've had years with him. He's an inspiration and why I want to be a great Dad, Husband and grandad, and we can all do that. Take care, be the man you want to be! 💪👍❤️
I know what you mean, as i’m 24 & the lord called my dad home a couple weeks ago. I was holding his hand while he went. Hope i never forget it & I don’t think i could. Love him more than words can express & i am who i am because of him.
My dad was my world. He passed a couple years ago at 80 yrs old. I thank you for reminding me what a great man he was and they say i am just like him. Thank you!!!
Im hoping my pops doesn't pass ..after 20 years of not seeing him ..i then see him...4 years later...today...hes in surgery... and the only one who cares is me ..not his daughter (my older sister) not my mom(his ex wife..) me...he deserves better...not gana lie...my pops and me as a son from an abusive mother...my pops abusive ex...my pops amd i deserved better than this...
Lost my dad to suicide in 2016 when I was 9 or 10. I am now 16 years old, hearing this song instantly made me cry, miss my old Man, love the song keep it up
Hope it helps you buddy just stay strong and make your Daddy proud that's the best advice I can give you in hell I'm still trying to make mine proud and I'm 24 years old LOL
The timing of me finding this song and video today is not just a coincidence, but a gift for what it reminded me of - the bond growing up with my old man in rural America. He passed when I was younger back in June 2010 and from that perspective it also makes me miss all the memories we didn’t get to have together in my adult life.
I never knew my Dad. I'm the Father of one Daughter, two Sons, and three beautiful Grandchildren. I'm not proud of the bad that I've done but when I'm no more on this earth....I know that I was Blessed to have been the Man who was part of their lives. I just hope and pray my Father in Heaven sees something in me to take me with Him.
I moved across the country about a month and a half ago by myself fresh out of highschool and realized my dad was my bestest of friends and this made me miss him like crazy
I miss my Dad as he passed away 9 years ago . He always had an answer to all my questions from the time I was a tot till we all had to say goodbye Dad. I am now 73 years old. I still catch myself reaching for my phone just to ask a question or to say I love and I miss you, Dad. He knew that answer too.. As I am my daddies daughter .
My Dad passed away 2 years ago, and just to hear his voice and going over to his and mom's house to have a beer while my dad grilled steaks, and him seeing his 3 grandkids just one more time. I'll see you one day Dad but not today
My dad passed 5 months ago and I've held everything in pretty much this entire time. This some made me completely lose it and I needed ever second of it. Thank you for making such a beautiful song and helping me get a lot of emotion out that needed to come out and help me with my healing process.
My eldest son just sent this to me after a few months of tension i know I'm a hard dad and just wanted him to Realize Nobody is going to hit as hard as Life does!!!! He's in the US Army and i Sure am glad he is speaking to me again Thanks for this song!!! i Have to realize the words and learn to let him be a MAN 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪
I was very hard on my kids, and I know they recent me for it, but it was my job to teach them right from wrong. I'm happy for you that you and your son are talking again. Thank him for his service for me.
"...to find the underdog and make him strong, so he can be alright..." My dad passed January 15th, 2020... when I was young he told me, "there's more to be proud of standing up for someone weaker, than standing next to someone stronger!" It didn't always mean physical strength, either. Thank you for this song!
I never exactly got to grow up with my dad but hearing this song for the first time ever the first person I thought of was my mom she truly is the one who took care of me and made me the man I am today she was both mom and dad to me my whole life and still is I moved to Florida in order to try and make a better life not only for me and my fiancé but I wanted to make my mothers life better for everything she has done for me I love her with everything I am and I can’t thank her enough
Update: I turn 39 the 18th of this coming August. Dad turns 70 10 days later. The story of resentment and praise I have for that man. I always revert back to this song Trey. Thank you. You've helped me so many times.
Lost my dad 3 years ago Oct 14, 2019 From lung cancer since 2015 which no one knew he had because he kept it to himself and still went to work every at 4am everyday
My daddy just passed it's only been 6 day I'm a daddy too myself of two little boys this song hits home in so many ways wish my daddy was here to share it with
Same brother. My dad passed away September 5th. And I have a son and daughter myself too. Can’t say it gets any better. But just remember that he’a always by your side
Praying for you as you move through your grieving... One day at a time. Some will be harder than others, that is for sure. I sincerely hope you are able to find comfort and strength in his memory. Bless you!
@@devinderrick7108 I still have my days as well. Just got a portrait tattoo of him on my arm so whenever I start getting that feeling all I gotta do is look over and see him 😊
Just lost my dad a couple weeks ago sudden motorcycle accident this song hits hard cuts deep we were closer than close and always worked on vehicles together thank you for this
Prayers lifted for comfort. My dad died when I was 4 months old and his dad raised me but I know that pain. Keep your head up and your heart full bc he is keeping watch over you still.
I can feel your pain. I lost my father a few months ago , in the same condition, motorcycle accident. I hadn't seen him for 2 years. The hardest part is that I was not able to make it to his funeral. I'm his only son, and we were really close, he was more than a friend. He loved country music. I still can't believe I won't see him again. I will always love you Dad.
Lost my Dad 12 years ago and I have two sons (20 and 18). This song says it all. The chorus line "It is in my blood.... find the underdog and make him strong so he can be alright, walk straight to it gets late..if you looking to where I get it from I am my Daddy's son" says it all. I chose different path than my Dad and my boys have chosen different paths too but the moral courage and strength runs thick from my Dad all the way to my boys.... I am so proud of my Boys --- Nicholas (named after my Dad) and Micheal (the Angel and defender)
Lost my dad unexpectedly three days ago on 7/1/2022. Still confused. Still processing. One thing I know is I'm going to put everything he ever taught me to practice. I have big shoes to fill. One thing I'm sure of and this goes for everyone who's going through something similar is they're just saving a seat for us up in heaven. We'll see them soon and make them proud when we do.
Man you told your story, which is my story. First two times I heard this song I had to stop working. I'm a carpenter. I had a son at 21 raised him on my own he is one of the best men men I've ever known. First man to have a college degree but still he chose to be a carpenter. He's a god fearing man and so is his young wife both 23 years old. I sent this to him and it took 2 hours his dog and two beers to call me. And he was still a mess like me. You hit a couple of country boys in the heart. Man.. God bless you and your daddy brother And Momma!
I lost my dad last year out of nowhere... Im an only child... I was my daddy's son. Growing up I got into a lot of trouble and never took my dad's advice. I ended up going to prison and costing my parents damn near everything they had. My dad never turned his back on me. He had every reason to write me off. I spent the last 15 years working my ass off to make him proud. I heard this song and when you sing the line, if I'm being honest, dad, I'm so glad you stayed, I totally lost it and poured tears. I don't know who you are but if you keep making songs like this I'm sure you will reach the top. Thank you for this. I truly needed it.
You are not alone sir. Sorry for your loss. it dont get easier but it starts to make sense if you pay attention. at least that's been my experience. May peace be with you sir
song hits home . me and my dad dont have the best relationship but when i hear these lyrics it just hits a certain spot now that i have a son myself . its ironic how u used to ignore ur fathers advice & as u get older ur fathers advice u hated or just rejected was right all along and now all u can do is reciprocate it to ur son yourself and be close to ur father while hes still here
I'm 62 and still remember good times with my dad. Then life got busy and the next thing you know, it's been 6 months since we talked and then a year. At 59, l made a choice to call him every Saturday morning at 8am. He is getting older, losing his eye sight and hearing. Memory is not as good for either of us. I really wish I had started calling him sooner but am glad that I still have time. I appreciate the song. Oh and did I mention, my son sent this to me! 😊
I just found this checking out some new artists. Pops went to heaven in ‘09. We were just alike. I spent all the time I could with my Dad especially hunting. He was himself away from business and his wife. I see so much him in what I say. When I pull a fun night. I’m 51 and I still cry like a baby. I have his two felt resistal hats. I put them in the truck at the beginning of deer season. Young man, thank you for this song. It meant so much to me to hear this today. I can’t thank you enough.
I feel every word to this song for me and my daddy. He's gone now and Christmas was sad, but he made me the person I am today and my love for him is true evidence of that. I love this song. Thank you.( I'm my daddy's daughter!! )
God bless you buddy! Lost my daddy when I was 26 to cancer and I hadn't grown up yet. Miss my daddy even more now that I'm the man he raised me to be. With babies of my own, thank you for the share
Awesome song. My dad was both parents and then some. I get goose bumps and remember all of the good times. I miss you dad. R. I. P. This song causes tears.
Every time I listen to the song I get choked up. I might sit in my truck and drink beer and have A good cry before I go with my family. You know why because you RIGHT am my daddy's son! Hurrah
My husband is a twin...him and his sister were raised by a aunt. They never knew their dad. They met him for the 1st time as adults. Even though they never met much less spoken to each other they were like twins themselves! Their mannerisms, they way they walked and talked and so much more... it was the most amazing and heart breaking thing all at the same time.
This song made me cry because it reminded me of my Father. He passed in 2019 and this song sounds exactly like the two of us. My Father was on heck of a man! I just want to live up to his example. I love you Dad!❤❤❤❤❤
This is unreal, man. You have no idea who you are touching with these words but just know they are touching. Lost my dad a few years ago and this hits right at home. Miss every second with my dad and this song just feels like his arms. Thank you for this.
Lost my father to stomach cancer a few days ago. Trying to write his eulogy right now. Hard to find what to say. He was such a great man words can't do him justice. All I gotta say tho is cherish every moment you have with your loved ones never know when there moment will come❤💯
Legitimately have never even seen my “dad” in person. But no matter how many times I hear this song I can’t help but almost tear up. However I was fortunate enough to have been adopted at 16 by the only man I ever considered a father. The last verse “I’ll give you this name” hits so hard! Beautiful song!! Only a beautiful soul could write such a song.
In so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your kids. Yes. It is heartbreaking. May God give you and your babies the peace that He promises. .I lost my mother at age 10. My father when I was 30. And my 16 year old son when I was 40. Ten years ago . I know how you feel.. the losses leave a holenin your hearts.. I will pray for you all .
Little man in this picture to the left is why I cry every time I hear this song. AMAZING song and voice, listened for over a year hoping to hear you on the radio. May God bless you and your family.
this is a awesome song, im looking forward to being a father everyday, my son is 1 & 1/2. he loves me more than i love myself.if you dont have kids,have them.they will restore your hope in humanity
I’m the father of 4 Boys... well 3 men and one going light speed to being a man. That song made me well up. Thank you for this . I needed it, I hope they love me as much as you love your Dad.
Excellent song, lost my Dad 12 years ago and I am definitely my Dads son , Miss that Great Man Everyday, also love the old Ford in the video my Dad is smiling down
Pray for the boy's that didn't have daddies, they're lost and hurting and will fall for anything that replaces that void.
Thirty years old and still learning that. Well said.
25 and still learning that as well and unfortunately it just makes me wanna try too fill the void and then when we get closer I get the fear of being abandoned again. Well said.
Wow man, hit the nail on the head. Still feel that pain and void at 43. Hope I am the father I needed for my own son.
I never wanted to be like my dad, but the stuff I did to fill that void, I turned exactly into that man
I came to know Jesus to late in life and It almost cost me an amazing wife and my son. Don’t fall into the divorce trap and cherish your wife so you don’t have to watch someone else cherish her
My old man is 93. Every day is a gift. If I'm considered half the man my father is, then I've succeeded.
Good man
lost mines when he was 93. Cant wait to see you
My son just moved out of state to chase his own path in life. He sent this song to me today and I cursed him for making this grown man cry. I’m also my daddy’s son, so I felt it twice. Good job man. Keep writing!
Hello Jonathan, how are you doing and hope you're good with your family over there?
Yep' mine just turned 22, I've let the ropes go. He's his on man, but I told him on the phone I love you son..I caught my self and said No...I'm in love with you son...!
I hate to be the fourth comment... but this song actually got to me...
This is coming from a mom.. I’m always apologizing for what my hubby and I didn’t do rite. He tells me mom .. if it wasn’t for your and dads rules. I wouldn’t be the man I am now..He’s 34 with 2 boys of his own now. He is a police officer of 10 yrs now. I tell my husband all the time. If we did anything rite as young kids who made a child. Was raise him to be a awesome man. God bless all the dads. I miss mine so badly. ✨✌️💜🎶
Just keep in touch. He still your son.
Oh my, i'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. Hearing from my dad, as a 13 and 16 year old boy that I was not welcome in his "new family" with a new woman broke me. I did not even hear from him when my daugther was born. My duty here in life is to be that supporting, present and loving dad, that I never had...
Ah man, that must hurt something fierce. You’ll be the best daddy to that little girl.
Cheers and good luck brother, you definitely will be! Sometimes our past is just a wake up call for not what too do
Never told anyone my story because no one cares but I really do understand man my mom and dad had to give me up to grandma because they couldn't take care of me then when my Grandpa died my grandma went 30 days later so I moved with my dad who could barely handle him self and his wife overdosed on Xanax 1 month later then a year so later CPS took my sister and me til they placed us in a foster home that lasted a few until even more happened and fast-forward to today I now have a mortgage a son with another son on the way with a loyal woman sad part is my dad met my sisters kid within a week he hasnt met mine or seen me in almost 8 years only sharing because im trying to become that dad I never really had either brotha so hang in there man we were given this path for a reason
Fuck buddy, I’ll buy you a beer any day. Some people just can’t see the light others shine.
I feel you bro. I'm sorry you had to through that.
I'm talking to the parents here.
Always make sure to tell your children your love and how proud you are. Even if they're not what we expected them to be. I lost my son. He was on his way to my home.
He got off the city bus. To cross the street. I must a truck a pickup truck. My baby lay there on the road by Himself he died at 11:57 PM. He didn't have no ID on. Him He had lost it a couple days before. But that night I felt something within me
I remember saying God. Please protect Jesse Keep him safe.
I went to sleep. I get a knock at the door that morning.
Ask me If I knew a Jesse Erwin I said yes, he's my son,, is everything okay? There's been an accident.. I said where he told me. I said what hospital is he at so I could get there? He said I'm sorry to tell you, but your son didn't make it..My world stopped
It was. like an echo coming out of the man's voice. Please always tell your children you love them. and that you forgive them? For anything that your child may have done or you have done please .You may not know when it will be your last God bless you
So sorry for your loss. I'm an old man now, it was different back in my day. Dad was a great man. I know he was proud of me, but didn't say it much. When he did it was special.
I can't imagine I'm terribly sorry tight hugs ❤️
I'm so so sorry for your loss 💯💔 Hope your days have picked up a bit 💜💛 I lost my dad in December 2023, and I'm an exact spitting image of my father 💯 I can only imagine how my mother feels 💔💔 R.I.P. old boy, I'd rather be a spitting image of you than not have any similarties 💯 Thankbyou for everything 💯💔🔥💜💛😭🍻🇵🇬
@@Moses1973 That's exactly how my old man was, very old fashioned, but when he said "he was proud of me" and stuff like that, felt like I was on top of the world! 💯 None of that anymore, but he knows we all love and miss him 💯💯💯🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬💔💔💔💔💔💔💛💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
😢😢 so sorry for your loss for me it was death of my Father in 2010. I just can't get over it. His death has been the most painful & traumatic time for me.
Brought me to tears young man, the Lord took Daddy from me @13 yrs of age... But I see him in the mirror every day...
Hey sir my pops just passed this past year, and my little brother is only 16. It’s hard for me to play dads role. I don’t know how to help him
@@thatreadboy I'm not one to give advice, but just be a brother not a father... Assure you it's difficult for even us seasoned dad's to walk the line of trying to be their friend AND parent... Just be his big brother and an ear to listen when he wants to talk, siblings have to be there for each other long after mom and dad have left this world. Nurture that relationship, I wouldn't advise taking on a fatherly role as it may just make him resentful and push you away. God Bless you and KNOW that the BOND between father and son has ZERO limitations even in death
Mine was killed when I was 11
@@thatreadboy just be there for him and trust the genes! Yaint there to baby him! He'll appreciate it....one day!
Amen same man I understand your pain
My dad just past away...and this song just came on with no name...at my house....thank you for that dad...I don't know this singer...but you just said it all...thank you
I like it
So Sorry for your loss
I wish I knew my dad I tracked him down to meet his grandson he gave me his number and he passed away before I ever used it I never got the chance to talk to him cuz the only time we met was so awkward our wives did all the talking we never spoke and I'll regret it for the rest of my life
@@maxtouchet1658 Dont ever regret anything maybe yall were only truly ment to speak when yall did just so u had closer dont ever beat urself up about things that r out of ur control thats the path ment for u
@@amandaodell8009 thank you for that God Bless
I lost my dad when he was only 42, I was 14. This song really hits home cause still to this day my mom tells me how much I was like him. I couldn’t be more proud every time she says this. I’m now 59 and taking care of my mama the way she took care of my daddy til his last breath when he died in her arms. I know he is still with me as I follow in his footsteps with courage and good heart. Hope you’re proud of me daddy.i miss you, I’m my daddy’s daughter ♥️
I lost my dad 10 years ago today and have never heard this song or about this young man but I'm a instant fan...What a voice...
I can’t stop crying I been missing my dad for a year now and I’m not seeing no light finally got sober and it just hurts every day 😢
It takes what it takes. 💯 I was able to give my dad a sober son the last 5 years of his life. Prior to that I was an alcoholic and a junkie for 20 yrs 8 yrs of sobriety now. You'll have good days and bad ones you just have to have hope and hold onto the good memories. I still sob in my truck like a baby sometimes. It's all a process. I'm proud of you and I believe in you.
Eventually you’ll be able to start seeing him without it hurting so much. 😔 been about 5 years to the day now. Very recently started reminiscing on his life without so much pain. Hang in there.
I lost my father when I was 14, I am 23 now. I can't hear this song without thinking about him. I cherish every memory and lesson he taught me. I am also thankful for my coach/pastor who took me under his wing and was like a second father to me.
Happy that there was someone to be there for you child. Bless you
Amen brother
My babies lost their daddy 2 years ago. It's a struggle to parent 2 children alone.
I’ll never know the loving and comfort of a dad. But I pray my son will have this relationship with his daddy. That’s all I ask for, Lord. To let my son have what I didn’t. 🥺
Hello Lanie, how are you doing and hope you're good with your family over there?
I’m sorry Lanie.
Just make sure you find the right man. They are out there.
God bless you many woman use children as a weapon so there daddy's aren't in there life every child needs there daddy
☀️
This song brought tears to my eyes, took a moment to stop what im doing and give my 5yr old boy a big hug and hold him there for a moment. This is REAL country music. I appreciate you for this song.
Hug them every day!
And son's hug your dad's every chance you get!
I'm a daddy's girl, I lost a son, my dad and two months later my granddaughter, my baby is 22. I've been a single mom since he was 2. I hug that young man every chance I get.
Ima metal head!!! But starting to like country it hits different! But the same as well !! Lol.
@@shawndale3626 and dads should hug there sons more!!! Goes to fast!...
Ive never had a dad. Hell i never had a man tell me they were proud of me. Now i got two young boys of my own, im jus trying to be like the dads in thw country songs
Hey mate your sons have a Father they know and can look up to, you broke the cycle. I’m proud of you and you should be too it’s a hard thing to do is it learn how to be something you’ve never been taught. ✌🏼
I am VERY PROUD of you and I don't know you. BUT KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND CONTINUE TAKING CARE OF THOSE BOYS AND THEY'LL BE PROUD OF YOU ALSO
You can do it. Always be there no matter how hard it gets. Never give up on them. Love them and teach them all you know. God. Country. Guns. I will be praying for you.
I'm proud of you! Just for posting that comment.
Fatherhood is simple. I've raised five.
Work hard
Play hard
Love harder
I understand how you feel I grow up the same way. I have a family of my own now with a 14yr old son I try my best everyday to show my son the love of a father that I never had in my life you can do it show your boys the love you have for them like are fathers never showed any of us that knows what not having father
My oldest is in Nashville chasing this dream. I didn’t support him like I should’ve when he was younger. If you read this son your dad loves you and is proud of you! 🤟🏻 Give it your best shot.
Give him a call.
Let him know that.
He might need it. Chasing dreams isn’t easy.

Lost my Dad a year ago today and this hits home so much. I pray that some day I can right my wrong and let my Dad know how much I really needed him. Living on God's promises that I see him again someday
He knows,😘
I just lost my dad thru the weekend. this hits the heart.
Wow. When my father was alive. I would come sit down with him in his room and say. "Hey dadddy" I did ever since I was 13. When his cancer took my father from me. My mother said "son your dad wanted me to let you know. He loved how you always greeted him. Hey daddy." I never knew how much I loved someone until I watched him take his last breath.
I been there. I watched my Daddy take his last breath after cancer beat him up. Toughest man I ever knew. Guess cancer was tougher. Biggest hardest working man I ever knew. And fought all the way to live. I will see him again.
it's been a couple years since you've gone dad, im crying while i type this but i need to. i turned 24 today dad i dont know why its hurting so much right now, but i miss you so incredibly badly dad. mom is doing alright and so are my siblings. im trying to navigate life but its so hard, i wish you were here to teach me more things, if i could only hear you say you love me one more time . . . thats all id want for my birthday today. if anyone reads this im sure youve heard this a million times but dont take your time with your loved ones for granted. for better or worse its all you get. I love you dad -R.I.P Randy April 12th 2022
Dude I lost my dad on April 18th 2012. Seems like yesterday. Brought tears to my eyes man. We take for granite the time we have here. Then it's gone in the blink of an eye. My dad passed 3 weeks before my first kid was born. Wished he would have gotten to meet his papaw. One hell of a man. Miss you dad. Love ya and everything's alright. Thanks for your comment man.
Brother I understand. Gotta remember the times when we had them. My hardest understanding is not knowing I didn't know everything. And I took for granted all those teachings and lessions.only getting a small glimpse as a father and hindsight
Hey brother I'm not your dad but I love you I hope this comment finds you well. ❤❤❤❤
Dude I know it must hurt, but they never leave us. They are with you beside u and within u. U are his home now and all the ancestors that came before u so that u could be exactly where u are right now. Stay strong brother ❤
He read it. He's watching over you. Take time meditate, get into the peace state of mind and he will show up. You'll feel it. Maybe you already have. :) My Dad passed April 29, 2009. I think about him everyday. I was 18 years old when he passed, I am 34 now, and it's been a long painful road, however I am happy I am still here because I have loved ones to be here for on this earth. Yes, do not take your connections for granted. Have love and peace. God Bless!
😭 I came across this song and it so describes my Son.
When he was growing up on this old farm he would often butt heads with his Dad, chores, rules, etc. My husband taught him to work hard, even if it caused them to argue, fuss and fight over who was wrong and who was right. There came a time when despite the love, he went his own way, and sadly stayed away. October 3, 2014 My husband passed away, and before he took his last breath he said, "I've made peace with him Momma, I Pray he comes home to you someday". 😭
That Day came 4 months ago and it is amazing to see the difference in him. HE IS HIS DADS SON!!
He is back on the farm, taking care of things here, owns his own business, cares for his children despite opposition from 2 failed marriages, and I know his Dad is looking down from Heaven proud that he came home to the family that never stopped loving him and Praying for him.
I'm not well and he makes sure I am cared for, because he is his DADS SON 💙
Beautiful 🥰
😥😥😥 I'm so happy for you. Your story litterally made me cry.
@@jadakinz10 I just listened to the song again with My Son after he put his boys to bed and we talked about His Dad and now I'm crying 😭💔
@jose Haro Bless You and your family. I just read this to my Son and we will both be Praying for you. 🙏💙 You do have Our Heavenly Father who is the Father to the fatherless, He will guide you and teach you to be an Amazing Dad, because you are Gods Son. My God Bless You Today and Everyday 🙏💙
Sounds like he has daddy issues
My Dad left when i was 3. But the man i call Dad passed away in 2020. He taught me everything I know and do. He wasnt the most syphothetic or emotional man. But he came and he stayed! he did not have to do that! I Love and miss him everyday. This song hits such a cord! God Bless you SIR!
I don't have a dad so I don't feel the same like the ones that do. But whoever needs to hear this your dad loves you and remember you are your daddy's son. .
Man I had a rough day being a dad... my boy did everything opposite of what I asked and man I felt defeated after today... It was a day that I felt like I failed as a dad... hearing this song leveled me out... I can't dwell on a bad day when I am so blessed everyday.
As a father of a hard-headed son, thank you for sharing your difficulty. It’s good to know I’m not the only one struggling.
There of 2 daughters,16 and 22. I too feel like I have failed in so many areas. Can't go back,just have to trust their is a lesson I. There somewhere for them as well as me
Amen brother🙏💪
I got a boy and girl myself. And I truly do believe being a parent is the hardest job in the world. You can hope what your parents taught you will translate through but it’s truly daily on the job training.
5.5 years since I lost my father. This song hit me in the chest like a horse kicked me. Miss you pop.
Right there with you miss my pops daily I’d give anything just for another day
We're all in the same feels guys.... Let us be the dads our dads always wanted to be !
Same man same
going on 4 years since i lost mine. Couple weeks after my son was born.
I've held my dad's passing in for so long that I didn't know how to react when I first heard this beautiful masterpiece. God bless you Trey.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Praying for you Brother
Not gonna lie, i dont have the strength to listen to this unless im drinkin. Lost the old man a year ago, sent this to him about 3 months before he passed and cussed me for days for makin him cry. Now i do whenever it pops up
Drinking won’t help, you can face it without. Your daddy loved you and you’ll love your kids more than anything. You’ve got this 💪🏻
My father died when I was 26 the last time I saw him I was 18. A lot of you are so fortunate to have your fathers at later ages. I’d give up my life to spend time with my dad for a day.
Excuse me?
Lost mine at 12. I'm 52 now. Never changes
@@jakefarley2449 you’re excused.
The last time I saw my dad was when I was 5
My dad was a no good son of a gun tbh
You hit home with this. Man I’m crying like a baby over here. Lost my dad back in may 2020 me and the ole lady got a son due in June. The number one thing I wanted was my dad to meet his grandkid. He may be gone but I know he is looking down smiling and proud. Love you pops
Sorry to hear that man. That’s my worst fear is losing my dad
I'm a complete tom boy just had my son and I pray hes just like his daddy hes everything my daddy wanted for me.
Hello Isbell how are you doing and hope you're good with your family over there?
Hope you're alright brother. Lost my dad in 06 and my firstborn son is now 10 months old. Life's a ride, my man. God bless and hang on!! Lol
Update: my worst fear came true, my dad passed Tuesday. I lost my best friend this week. Fuck cancer
I’m my daddy’s son but he was never there for me like I wished he would be. This song gives me visions of what it would be with him there for me. And I honestly look and act just like him but I’m trying to build a relationship with him. I just wish that someone would pray for me and him and our relationship. Thank You Everyone🙏🏻
GOD can bring the healing..
I am praying for you. 🙏
It is when we put our Faith,Hope & Love in JESUS CHRIST our prayers our heard

I’m praying for you brother it was the same way with my dad but we never connected and he passed away in January so I know how you feel
Wish I grew up with a dad, praying I have a son to get the experience!
💔🙏🦋💗
My old man is my stepfather and I haven’t ever looked at him no different. He’s my father. He took me in when I was 13 and now I’m 31. My old man still right there.
You are blessed by a man that didn't have to be ❤️
To anybody whos lost somebody just know it's people like this young man who are here to get our emotions out. It's healthy and don't fear the tears just do it with a smile of good memories, I'm sure I speak for most of these people in the comments when I say we all wish you the best and to stay strong we are all in the same boat some day so let's care about each other today.
The fact that I still have my old man sure as hell didn’t stop a tear from coming to my eye.
Something this good isn’t very common anymore. Keep it up!
Cherish them moments because they can be gone in a blink of an eye
My Dad just recently had a stroke and has Bell’s palsy it’s getting better, but time flies by so fast. And I cry because both of my parents and brother are growing up I rarely see my brother anymore. 😥 I’m praying life just gets better, especially for Humanity as a whole.... please let’s all show how much faith and hope we all have for not just our next door neighbor or friends but as a whole planet and race. Give Thanks, Give when needed and be Humble
Love it! Couldn’t have said it any better if I wanted to! 👍🏼
Peace and love 💘To All from PeePaw
Well said man. Best of luck I get it time does fly. They say its relative... I say its relatively fast. But make the most and take your own advice as I should mine.
😭im so sorry for your loss and I hope you feel better soon and you and your brother
When you have a real father that’s been there and always made sure you understood how to become a man , then this song hits just a little bit different ✍🏽💯
Today is my dad's 78th b'day. Still strong n caring to their kids. Happy b'day my old man, luv u always...
Lost my dad in June 2013 and this song hits home like a ton of bricks. Wounds run deep. Love u dad.
This song really hits home. I Lost my Dad in 2012 when I was 25. It’s been a rough ride trying to piece it all together on my own and find my way through life. Watching him take his last breath is something I’ll always remember. Not because I want to remember his passing, but rather to remember how in that exact moment I realized how much I really loved my dad. I’m 37 now and living life to its fullest raising my son and loving every moment of it. I think about how much my Dad would’ve loved him and how proud he would’ve been. If you’re reading this Dad, I love you. I miss you and I hope I make you proud.
I'm 54, I lost my Dad on Thursday 08.02.24 I've had years with him. He's an inspiration and why I want to be a great Dad, Husband and grandad, and we can all do that. Take care, be the man you want to be! 💪👍❤️
@jboomadmill thank you for sharing! God bless!
I know what you mean, as i’m 24 & the lord called my dad home a couple weeks ago. I was holding his hand while he went. Hope i never forget it & I don’t think i could. Love him more than words can express & i am who i am because of him.
"Always pushing you away, and if I'm being honest... dad I'm so glad you stayed" ooph. That hit me right in the heart.
I’m 36 years old I cried uncontrollably. Needed that. Thanks partner
My dad was my world. He passed a couple years ago at 80 yrs old. I thank you for reminding me what a great man he was and they say i am just like him. Thank you!!!
Im hoping my pops doesn't pass ..after 20 years of not seeing him ..i then see him...4 years later...today...hes in surgery... and the only one who cares is me ..not his daughter (my older sister) not my mom(his ex wife..) me...he deserves better...not gana lie...my pops and me as a son from an abusive mother...my pops abusive ex...my pops amd i deserved better than this...
He’s looking over you buddy, keep making him proud ❤
Lost my dad to suicide in 2016 when I was 9 or 10. I am now 16 years old, hearing this song instantly made me cry, miss my old Man, love the song keep it up
My sons 16.. Im sorry your dad made the choice he did. Just know wherever he is, hes saying I love you son.
It'll be okay buddy he's watching over you now hope you have a good night and an even better day tomorrow
@@dylanplatts thank you, you to, that means alot
Hope it helps you buddy just stay strong and make your Daddy proud that's the best advice I can give you in hell I'm still trying to make mine proud and I'm 24 years old LOL
Lost my dad to suicide in 2020 i was 16
The timing of me finding this song and video today is not just a coincidence, but a gift for what it reminded me of - the bond growing up with my old man in rural America. He passed when I was younger back in June 2010 and from that perspective it also makes me miss all the memories we didn’t get to have together in my adult life.
Im a single son of my daddy and a daddy of 5 boys no matter who their blood is... Very well done man very well done.
I love my pops, he’s out back home in Texas while I’m out here in California working. I miss my old man. God bless you brother.
I never knew my Dad. I'm the Father of one Daughter, two Sons, and three beautiful Grandchildren. I'm not proud of the bad that I've done but when I'm no more on this earth....I know that I was Blessed to have been the Man who was part of their lives. I just hope and pray my Father in Heaven sees something in me to take me with Him.
I feel you brother. Your Faith & not being ashamed of Christ will save you. Prayers!!!
I moved across the country about a month and a half ago by myself fresh out of highschool and realized my dad was my bestest of friends and this made me miss him like crazy
I miss my Dad as he passed away 9 years ago .
He always had an answer to all my questions from the time I was a tot till we all had to say goodbye Dad.
I am now 73 years old. I still catch myself reaching for my phone just to ask a question or to say I love and I miss you, Dad.
He knew that answer too..
As I am my daddies daughter .
He’s still looking over you and is so proud of his little girl❤❤
My Dad passed away 2 years ago, and just to hear his voice and going over to his and mom's house to have a beer while my dad grilled steaks, and him seeing his 3 grandkids just one more time. I'll see you one day Dad but not today
Stay strong in JESUS! We win in the end!
Amen
My dad passed 5 months ago and I've held everything in pretty much this entire time. This some made me completely lose it and I needed ever second of it. Thank you for making such a beautiful song and helping me get a lot of emotion out that needed to come out and help me with my healing process.
I'm 10 year on from losing my dad. Much love. Keep him alive in your heart.
Lost mine a little over a week ago. It's rough.
Same here August 23rd
Keep your head up 🙏
Lost mine sunday
My dad was a single father raising me by his self and I would walk through hell for that man
I’m sorry son your mother took off with you and I can’t fight to get you back home with me one day soon I’ll be your angel to guide you 😭
My eldest son just sent this to me after a few months of tension i know I'm a hard dad and just wanted him to Realize Nobody is going to hit as hard as Life does!!!! He's in the US Army and i Sure am glad he is speaking to me again Thanks for this song!!! i Have to realize the words and learn to let him be a MAN 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪
I was very hard on my kids, and I know they recent me for it, but it was my job to teach them right from wrong. I'm happy for you that you and your son are talking again. Thank him for his service for me.
"...to find the underdog and make him strong, so he can be alright..." My dad passed January 15th, 2020... when I was young he told me, "there's more to be proud of standing up for someone weaker, than standing next to someone stronger!" It didn't always mean physical strength, either. Thank you for this song!
I never exactly got to grow up with my dad but hearing this song for the first time ever the first person I thought of was my mom she truly is the one who took care of me and made me the man I am today she was both mom and dad to me my whole life and still is I moved to Florida in order to try and make a better life not only for me and my fiancé but I wanted to make my mothers life better for everything she has done for me I love her with everything I am and I can’t thank her enough
If I can only write something even close to meaningful as this. My son sent to this to me this morning. I cried.
Update: I turn 39 the 18th of this coming August. Dad turns 70 10 days later. The story of resentment and praise I have for that man. I always revert back to this song Trey. Thank you. You've helped me so many times.
Lost my Dad in Feb 2022, then Mom this Aug. This is an awesome song. There may be some country music left in this new generation.
Lost my dad 3 years ago Oct 14, 2019
From lung cancer since 2015 which no one knew he had because he kept it to himself and still went to work every at 4am everyday
I hope both of yall are doing ok. Prayers up.
My daddy just passed it's only been 6 day I'm a daddy too myself of two little boys this song hits home in so many ways wish my daddy was here to share it with
Same brother. My dad passed away September 5th. And I have a son and daughter myself too. Can’t say it gets any better. But just remember that he’a always by your side
@@poogaure thank you brother hope you're doing well I have my days but I'm doing ok
Praying for you as you move through your grieving... One day at a time. Some will be harder than others, that is for sure. I sincerely hope you are able to find comfort and strength in his memory. Bless you!
@@devinderrick7108 I still have my days as well. Just got a portrait tattoo of him on my arm so whenever I start getting that feeling all I gotta do is look over and see him 😊
Just lost my dad a couple weeks ago sudden motorcycle accident this song hits hard cuts deep we were closer than close and always worked on vehicles together thank you for this
Prayers lifted for comfort. My dad died when I was 4 months old and his dad raised me but I know that pain. Keep your head up and your heart full bc he is keeping watch over you still.
He's looking over u at all times he still loves u as much as he did when he was with us.
Merry Christmas from heaven Aboveground
I can feel your pain. I lost my father a few months ago , in the same condition, motorcycle accident. I hadn't seen him for 2 years. The hardest part is that I was not able to make it to his funeral. I'm his only son, and we were really close, he was more than a friend. He loved country music. I still can't believe I won't see him again. I will always love you Dad.
I’m sorry for your loss, praying for your family!🙏
Lost my Dad 12 years ago and I have two sons (20 and 18). This song says it all. The chorus line "It is in my blood.... find the underdog and make him strong so he can be alright, walk straight to it gets late..if you looking to where I get it from I am my Daddy's son" says it all. I chose different path than my Dad and my boys have chosen different paths too but the moral courage and strength runs thick from my Dad all the way to my boys.... I am so proud of my Boys --- Nicholas (named after my Dad) and Micheal (the Angel and defender)
Lost my dad unexpectedly three days ago on 7/1/2022. Still confused. Still processing. One thing I know is I'm going to put everything he ever taught me to practice. I have big shoes to fill. One thing I'm sure of and this goes for everyone who's going through something similar is they're just saving a seat for us up in heaven. We'll see them soon and make them proud when we do.
Missing you today Dad. A lot.
I got my smile back. I still miss you though.
So sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband lost his dad on 7/12/22. Praying for comfort while you are missing your dad. ❤
I can only imagine. Rip.
Man you told your story, which is my story. First two times I heard this song I had to stop working. I'm a carpenter. I had a son at 21 raised him on my own he is one of the best men men I've ever known. First man to have a college degree but still he chose to be a carpenter. He's a god fearing man and so is his young wife both 23 years old. I sent this to him and it took 2 hours his dog and two beers to call me. And he was still a mess like me. You hit a couple of country boys in the heart. Man.. God bless you and your daddy brother
And Momma!
6/30/14. I miss my dad so much. I wish my wife could have met him. He was definitely one of a kind. Now all we have is stories and it kills me.
Same here
@@loranlefert7811 sorry for your loss. It’s tough. I’m 32 and still wish I had my dad’s advice available.
I lost my dad last year out of nowhere... Im an only child... I was my daddy's son. Growing up I got into a lot of trouble and never took my dad's advice. I ended up going to prison and costing my parents damn near everything they had. My dad never turned his back on me. He had every reason to write me off. I spent the last 15 years working my ass off to make him proud. I heard this song and when you sing the line, if I'm being honest, dad, I'm so glad you stayed, I totally lost it and poured tears. I don't know who you are but if you keep making songs like this I'm sure you will reach the top. Thank you for this. I truly needed it.
You are not alone sir. Sorry for your loss. it dont get easier but it starts to make sense if you pay attention. at least that's been my experience. May peace be with you sir
song hits home . me and my dad dont have the best relationship but when i hear these lyrics it just hits a certain spot now that i have a son myself . its ironic how u used to ignore ur fathers advice & as u get older ur fathers advice u hated or just rejected was right all along and now all u can do is reciprocate it to ur son yourself and be close to ur father while hes still here
A father’s love is something beyond special. I’m so thankful and grateful to God I still have my pops around.
Goodness Brother.. I lost my Dad last week and this song hits home! I love you and miss you Pops so much! Thanks for such a touching song
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while.
When he started singing it sent chills through my body
I'm a 64 year old man baby of five this song brought me to tears my oldest sister always calls me my daddy's son,I really miss him!
I'm 62 and still remember good times with my dad. Then life got busy and the next thing you know, it's been 6 months since we talked and then a year. At 59, l made a choice to call him every Saturday morning at 8am. He is getting older, losing his eye sight and hearing. Memory is not as good for either of us. I really wish I had started calling him sooner but am glad that I still have time. I appreciate the song. Oh and did I mention, my son sent this to me! 😊
I just found this checking out some new artists. Pops went to heaven in ‘09. We were just alike. I spent all the time I could with my Dad especially hunting. He was himself away from business and his wife. I see so much him in what I say. When I pull a fun night. I’m 51 and I still cry like a baby. I have his two felt resistal hats. I put them in the truck at the beginning of deer season.
Young man, thank you for this song. It meant so much to me to hear this today. I can’t thank you enough.
Man. I miss my daddy so much. I live in his honor, in his name, and I will make him proud if it take everything I have to give
I feel every word to this song for me and my daddy. He's gone now and Christmas was sad, but he made me the person I am today and my love for him is true evidence of that. I love this song. Thank you.( I'm my daddy's daughter!! )
Keep him deep in your heart and smile everytime you think of him, if he's a Dad he loved you every minute of the day.
I lost my Dad back in July on my birthday. We weren't close anymore but man I sure wish I could have made it right. I love that man
God bless you buddy! Lost my daddy when I was 26 to cancer and I hadn't grown up yet. Miss my daddy even more now that I'm the man he raised me to be. With babies of my own, thank you for the share
Awesome song. My dad was both parents and then some. I get goose bumps and remember all of the good times. I miss you dad. R. I. P. This song causes tears.
Miss my dad. Incredible song Trey... keep doing this. Don’t let Nashville change you
Brother I listened on repeat, and cried my eyes out.. Rip Daddy...
Thank you for this
Bro...u said things I never knew the words for when it came to the man I call dad
Every time I listen to the song I get choked up. I might sit in my truck and drink beer and have A good cry before I go with my family. You know why because you RIGHT am my daddy's son! Hurrah
My husband is a twin...him and his sister were raised by a aunt. They never knew their dad. They met him for the 1st time as adults. Even though they never met much less spoken to each other they were like twins themselves! Their mannerisms, they way they walked and talked and so much more... it was the most amazing and heart breaking thing all at the same time.
This song hits deep lost my father my hero my best friend 2 years ago now!! Thank you for this song, true blessing ❤️🙏🤜😊
🙏✌️🕊
"To find the underdog and make him strong so he can be alright "👍🇺🇸
That lines amazing!
I think that's what gets overlooked in so many people... this guy actually noticed and appreciated it...
This song made me cry because it reminded me of my Father. He passed in 2019 and this song sounds exactly like the two of us. My Father was on heck of a man! I just want to live up to his example. I love you Dad!❤❤❤❤❤
This song had me in tears... I love you Dad!
This is unreal, man. You have no idea who you are touching with these words but just know they are touching. Lost my dad a few years ago and this hits right at home. Miss every second with my dad and this song just feels like his arms. Thank you for this.
Oh my goodness
My dad passed away 3 years ago. The best compliment I could ever receive is that I am my daddy's son. Great song and I tear up every time I hear it.
same here bud.
Exactly what I came here to say
Buddy you are ripping my heart with this song. Lost my daddy 1.5 years ago and life isn’t the same without out him
Lost my father to stomach cancer a few days ago. Trying to write his eulogy right now. Hard to find what to say. He was such a great man words can't do him justice. All I gotta say tho is cherish every moment you have with your loved ones never know when there moment will come❤💯
😢 may God bless his soul in heaven
Legitimately have never even seen my “dad” in person. But no matter how many times I hear this song I can’t help but almost tear up. However I was fortunate enough to have been adopted at 16 by the only man I ever considered a father. The last verse “I’ll give you this name” hits so hard! Beautiful song!! Only a beautiful soul could write such a song.
Damn dad..if this aint us.. this one jerked some heart strings.. love you old boy, not a day goes by...
Lost my Dad on Sunday 12/26/2021....
Ill be trying to learn this on guitar
