Thank you, Steve Hartman! Im smiling through tears. You are such a gifted journalist and story teller. I lost my 91 year old mother in 2017 and felt orphaned even though I was 60. Aren’t we lucky to have had such wonderful parents who reminded us of what is really important! My deepest sympathy to you and your family. God bless.
Best Sunday Morning story you've ever shared... Steve Hartman, you are a true GEM in this crazy world. My Sundays are never complete until I've watched your latest installment. THANK YOU for reaching us all!!!! God Speed my friend.
AMEN!🙏🏽
Thanks Steve Hartman! You did it again, I’m crying on Sunday Morning. Absolutely ♥️ your stories, it’s my favorite thing on TV. This story about your dad brings back fond memories of my Grandpa, who never let me forget the “depression “😳. His voice came screaming back w/ the words “close the refrigerator door, your letting all the cold air out”, to... “A fool & his money soon part” & SO many other statements. At the time I remember being aggravated, but now I realize he was RIGHT! Again, THANK YOU STEVE HARTMAN!
LeAnn Miles I love Steve Hartman too!
We need more Steve Hartmans and the good new/messages they produce!
What a wonderful story on a great father. Sorry for your loss, I am an orphan also.
wonderful story R.I.P Mr. Hartman
Oh my goodness, I cried and cried. I miss my dad and mom. Thank you,Steve Hartman for doing this story about your Dad.
I had an incredible Mother. She was born in 1910 and lived to be 91. All 4 of her children adored her. Your piece today reminded me of her & her wisdom. They don't call them the great generation, for no reason.
Late getting to see but beautiful. We fellow orphans will have your back. Sorry you lost your Dad.
Thank you for sharing. My dad left in 1985 he was 59. To share a conversation would be amazing. I miss him every day. I watch WW2 videos looking for his 17 year old face. God Bless
Dear Steve,
I lost my Mom at 93 3/4 over the summer. It is a great loss. I too feel like an "orphan" but am learning day by day that she is a part of me no matter where she is now. That and lots of voicemail messages are getting me through. ❤
Thank you for your very personal story this week. George did his job well.
Steve how lucky you are for having had such a wonderful human being as a father. Thanks soooo much for sharing this beautiful part of your life.
Oh! There are tears in my eyes! Can I tell you something I have learned? You will never truly be an orphan with the strength of the memories your father left you. He was a gift that will continue to give, just like my own father. We are indeed blessed my friend!
I'm an orphan, too, Steve. Both parents died just a few years back (Mom - 3 years/Father 8). Not a day goes by that I don't miss them, and as you so eloquently stated, you have no one in your life who loves you unconditionally. There are many of us out here. So sorry about your dad.
I Love your Story. Totally made me miss my Dad that I lost in 2000. We are also from Toledo Ohio. Your story telling reminds me of the Great Paul Harvey. Thank you Mr. Hartman
Thank you for this story. My father & mother have been in Glory now 10 yrs this year! Yes! I feel like an orphan bc their love was unconditional!
Such a beautiful story RIP DAD
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Blessings always.
Another great story by Steve!
Thank You Steve!
You are always giving me hope for America!
I love your stories!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss. Your analogy of being an orphan is so spot on.
Thank you, Steve.
What a beautiful tribute.
May your parents rest in peace.
As of September 2015, I am orphan, too.
You are exactly right Steve .
😢. I hope I can be a dad like this.
Thank you, I was crying, so beautiful,
Great work Steve!
I miss my Dad alot
And I cry. Rest well, George.
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss😢Thank you for sharing something so personal and meaningful.
So beautiful Steve.
Thank you, Steve! I had a similar Dad to yours. As the 1st child of 3 stair steps plus another daughter 10 years later. I remember him coming home from his 'day job' to eat supper with us then going to his 2nd or 3rd job for most of my childhood. As a cabinet maker he paid for all of our Medical, Dental, & school bills on the barter system. Our Dentist new office all done by Dad. Our General MD/Surgeon's Winnebago, kitchen, son's home all done by Dad, too. We were fortunate to have him in our lives til 6 days short of his 90th birthday. I still pick the phone up to call him when I have exciting or very sad info to share. Thanks for doing this 5-Father video call. It was enlightening.
Th
Thank you for sharing your dad. My parents are approaching ninety and would be in the news for raising nine kids with most extreme abuse. Your sharing enlightens abuse survivors on what is possible. Loving your children.
Great story! Lost my dad 39 years ago, I was 9 yrs old. Miss him everyday!!
Iz Sifuentes , Am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dad when you were so very young. 💖🙏💞
I'm sorry for your loss of a beloved Father. He was a great man by the words you say about him. The memories will keep you going & they are wonderful. My Dad passed away 31 years ago & my Mom 16 years ago. Think of them every day. I hope for the best for you & be comforted to know he was all about sacrifical love & so was your Mom. These people are cut from a different cloth of the older generation. They loved their families so deeply & cared beyond what most can believe now days!
I lost my dad in 2000, and I've been looking for the right way to describe that feeling of emptiness. Thank you for articulating something that I couldn't - as now, I feel like a have a sense of closure in being able to articulate what I couldn't before today.
Jason Rivas, 🙏 💞
Beautiful!
Wow, that was an incredible tribute!
God Bless you Steve, even though this story is 2 years old it never gets any easier.
My parents and my siblings are gone and I too feel that I will never have that kind of warm enveloping love ever again..😔
This is my Dad!!!
Remembering your parents in all of there Glory can make you fly. I know that feeling... Miss u mom and dad...
Steve, my prayers are with you as you walk through this valley. I have at this moment, the distinct honor of caring for both my mother and father at this time. I never imagined the challenges of being a caregiver were so intense, but the rewards of sharing all the love and patience they bestowed upon me is worth it every single day. Thanks for sharing his life with us, your viewer's.
H L COTTEN , You are a Blessing ! 💚🙏💞
@@colleentam6446, I am humbled by your words... 😓🙏😓
H L COTTEN , You really are.
Pray God is extra good to you. Take care of yourself, too, as much as you can or you will not be able to be there for them & your presence is priceless. God speed. 💚 🙏 ⛅
Dear Mr. Hartman....this is late but please know, it is no less heart-felt....My condolences to you on the “earthly loss” of Your Dad. At 82, My Dad left me - left us - on 9/11/19. As a friend so eloquently stated, “Well of course, Kelly...only HEROES die on 9-11.” My Mother’s husband of 62 years - My Dad - was SO very much like yours, Sir!! We celebrate AND miss him, GEEEEZE, so very much. Thank you for sharing. I believe you WILL be reunited with Your Mom & Your Dad....AND THAT will be for eternity-together again...Orphan no more!! May God bless you and your family 💕
Great!
Wow...thank you.
Love your stories this one especially
Awesome tribute.
Yep... great dad...and mom, too! This is 'forever' Love 💕
Orphan and widow . Tyvm for this post.
Well this answered my previously inquiry about the status of your Dad; I rarely missed one of your segments. My parents also lived thru the Great Depression. It’s funny, I felt the same once both of my parents passed: the loss of that unconditional love. Thanks for sharing a very personal part of your life.
What a sweet, sweet story. I laughed and I cried (happy tears, remembering my own amazing father...born in 1907) I thought my dad was the strongest, tallest, most protective man I'd ever known. When in actuality, he was average height, thin wiry build, and loved, loved, loved baseball. (Had he been born at a different time, I'm certain he would have played short-stop for the L.A. Dodgers (his beloved and favorite team). He always worked two jobs, and if (you) were a man, and worked only 1 job, he'd immediately ask you, why you didn't have a 2nd job? LOL. There were 11 of us kids, and dad thought the sun rose and set in us all. By most standards, we were poor...but I never realized we were poor, until I was an adult. We always had plenty of food, a safe clean home, and lots of love. My mom always said daddy spoiled us kids b/c he became a father so late in his life, (almost 50 y/o). He never had kids with his 1st wife, so when she died, and he met our mother...well let's just say, they're was never an issue in their bedroom, LOL. At any rate, my dad lived to be 93 y/o. He got to see us all grown up with lots of grandkids. But boy oh boy, do I miss that amazing hardworking, loving, giant of a man. #WeLoveYouDaddy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (= 11 hearts beat for you daddy)
Happy Dee Dee ,. What a lovely remembrance of your Dad. Many continued Blessings. 🙏 💞
I miss my dad too. Tomorrow is his Yerzite.
Thanks you I'm thinking of my dad orphan at,54 dad 94 great life
Scott M , 🙏 💞
It changes the world, when one of us falls off.
Yep know how you feel!!!
You were blessed Steve- thank you for sharing :)
Sorry for your loss. My parents are both gone now. Hold onto those good memories you had with your dad .
I am an adult orphan as well.
Sam Sung , 🙏 💞
That touched my heart! Thank you Steve Hartman!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your father with us. May he rest in peace.
❤️❤️❤️
Observing Steve's affection for his dear, now passed dad, I'll bet the farm that Steve has a great relationship with his two brothers, too. Thanks for this tender tribute. Helping your dad move away from his home of many years after mom died had to be the hardest piece Steve ever made for CBS Sunday AM. Peace.
My condolences...I'm an orphan also. I'm glad y'all had such a great relationship. It is a great comfort when they're gone to have good memories.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sorry Mr. Hartman in the loss of your Dad. Remember your is in your heart and watching over you. God Bless you and your family in your sorrow. 😞🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
So sad RIP 💔
Very nicely done tears in my eyes
Beautiful!
Beautiful Story about his Dad!! I’m Glad I caught the Story!! TOLEDO, OHIO!!
Who in God’s name disliked this story?! Thanks for sharing, Steve!!!
So tonight my Dad has told me to turn the light out, don't use butter use margerine and use a tea bag twice. Cause all those little savings sent me to college. My niece is 5. My tea bag is drying out next to the kettle. Its not saying I love you every 5 minutes that counts - its every action every minute of every day that counts.
Good story. My Father was of that generation. Lost Dad in 2001. In my prayers Steve.
Brian Bullard , 🙏 💞
I lost my dad when I was 23 then my mom when I was 36. It’s hard and I sometimes get angry being an orphan at only 38. Sorry for your loss.
Jennifer Ferguson , My heart goes out to you losing your parents so young though it is never easy. It may sound crazy, but talk to them. I do & feel that they are still with me. Know it is not the same. Take good care of you & make sure only positive, supportive people are around you.. 🙏💞
Colleen Tam thank you.
Jennifer Ferguson , Take Care & Best regards. 💚 💞
Thanks for sharing this to the world. Could hear the tears in your voice. Great way to say good-bye.
I'm an orphan too. Last one left from a family of five.
I loved this piece!!
I feel for you Steve be good to yourself
Peace & prayers to your family. What a great man!
I am sending my sympathy to you, Steven. I am an orphan also. I lost my mom last. It is a huge loss to try and cope with. Hold on to your great memories. If the tears come, let them because they honor your parents. The greater the love, the heavier the grief. When you have a minute, look at John chapter 5 verses 28 & 29 for a wonderful hope. Blessing to you.
BeautifuL and TruE to LiFe StoRY that is to Be RealiZed 4 LiFe!🐣
Today would have been my dad's 70th birthday. He died three years ago, my mother less than four months ago. As a recent orphan myself, this one hit me kind of hard, but it meant a lot. Thanks, Steve!
Will Allen , Am so sorry for your loss. 🙏 💞
@@colleentam6446--Thanks!
Will Allen , My heart goes out to you. Life is never the same without them here near to us. Take care of you & hopefully in time their Spirit & memories will ease the loss & sorrow. God speed. 🙏 💞
Thank you, @@colleentam6446.
Will Allen, 💚🙏
Thanks for the story...touches all of us!
🙏🙏🙏 Rip 😥😥
Losing a parent changes you. In ways you cannot understand until it happens. My condolences for your loss Mr. Hartman. I miss my mom terribly.
Mr Hartman,
My condolences on your Father's passing. I love your stories with your Dad.
Wishing you and your family peace in your sorrow.
R.I.P. Mr. G Hartman and your sense of humor will be missed.
I am so thankful to you for sharing him with us.
In my thoughts and prayers.
Blessed be,

Ruby* Sparrow , Thank you so much. Wishing you a good week back & many Blessings. 💚🙏
What a blessing. For all of us.
You're right Steve, George was every man and we loved him for it, almost as much as you did!! Your generosity, to share him with us these last few years, has been a treasure. I have nothing but love and respect for the two of you two, your relationship with your dad, and the power of inspiration you give us by sharing your story! Bless you and your family in this difficult time and KNOW that George smiles down on the man he left behind and the SUCCESSFUL job he did to prepare you for all!! You will carry his torch so proudly and I look forward to seeing more of your amazing stories. There's NO DOUBT in my mind he's sharing a pint with Charles Kuralt and watching your latest piece!! Cheers!!
Good story...Great man sorry for your loss.My dad is up in years so this makes me think of him
Love Love Love !!!So sorry for your loss....
This story has made me love my Dad more than ever ❤️

Steve Hartman.... you may be an orphan, but the love you make us feel for you is immeasurable. I cry (yet always enjoy it) with every story you give. You give us humanity.... and with charm. Thank you. Your parents are proud!
Nicely done Hartman 👌
I love ur stories Steve , ur a writer with a big heart ❤️ keep ur pops alive by always talking to him , like I do. specially at dinner time. I feel less empty
I don't know how this story came into my feed but I'm glad it did. Such a touching story. Made me cry. He seemed like a wonderful man!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I dread the day this happens to my parents. I know now that my Mother and Father will love me more than anyone else and when they are gone that’s not gone, or lost but not of this world. I hope we are all reunited in the afterlife. That is really my only hope. ❤️
A great story. Lucky with wonderful parents and family.
Thank you. This really touched my heart.
Oh wow ❤️ thank you for sharing your amazing funny dad with all of us😢
