    As a parent, this is our worst nightmare. I hope you and Amber are holding onto each other tight right now and finding some comfort in knowing that River is somewhere safe and not in pain... Your dad and granddad have him in their arms right now.
    Praying for your family.

    I may have only, been three years old,
    But now I walk on the streets of gold.
    And when I look down I can see,
    My sweet family staring back at me.
    Now when you see tractors, you will always think of me,
    For I'm riding mine along the golden streets.
    And I now understand how the sun turns off, And why the clouds are so beautiful and soft.
    I can't believe I live in Heaven, such a beautiful place.
    I get to see miracles, love and grace.
    So mommy and daddy, "please don't be sad."
    You were the best parents I could ever have.
    But God showed me that my life on earth was done.
    He needed me in heaven, just like he needed His own son.
    So please know that I am happy, and everything will be okay.
    And when we meet again it will be a glorious day!
    Now it's time for me go and bring this letter to an end.
    And I will hold you in my heart..until we meet again!!!!

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! the last thing he wants or needs is to read some ignorant comments about it being his fault. It was NOT their fault. So leave him alone!

    Just came across this video this evening, and it reminded me of when my father in law was about to pass away from cancer, and my oldest son who was 16 at the time, actually said, "Papaw is retiring for a 3rd time(meaning he had already retired from 2 earthly jobs). On the day of the funeral we were picking up 200 balloons to be set free after the funeral, and out of all of them, I looked up and saw once the said Happy Retirement. I feel it was his papaw up there telling him he was looking down and letting us know he was happy and finally with Jesus.

    🎈🎈🎈I’ve been following for a while now, but just seeing this beautiful video for the first time. It really touched my heart, as I also know the grief of losing a child. My son, my first born, took his life on January 9th , 2019. 💔 I had him for 35 years. He was a beautiful person inside & out❤️All my adult life I’ve been on the fence about God. I wanted you both to know that through you, I’ve accepted God whole heartedly. So I want to say thank you so much for all you do to help others find the Lord❤️I’ve really struggled with horrible grief since that day and I’ve been stuck for over 2 years in daily grief and my life just stopped. I turned to alcohol to avoid feeling the grief fully. That’s been my life for 2 years. I now want to go to God and let him help me to move forward. So again, Thank You 🙏🏻 for sharing your life and grief with the world. Because of you, I am seeking God instead of alcohol. I still have a ways to go to start living my life fully, but I know I will get there. I am so sorry for your loss of your sweet River, that you have to be in this group that no one ever wants to be in. You’re in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May God continue to help you to spread his word. ❤️

      Misti Mcdonald this is my 4th without my mom. You're going to make it. I promise.
      I figure this must be from our Mom's seeing as how today is Mother's Day, and it was the first song on my recommended videos.
      I'll say a prayer for you today, and I'll hold extra tight to my daughter. ❤️

    todays my grandmas birthday, june 6th, she passed away 2 years ago as of june 8th, my grandma raised me all of my life, never did i leave her house or even sight without a hug, the last time i seen her was at the peak of covid and it was the only time in my entire life i didn't give her a hug when i left because my mom was worried i would get sick. she didn't die of covid, she passed because she couldn't afford her heart medication and high blood pressure medication, and she didn't tell us about it.

    It almost looks like this video was made for little River.. The way London & Lincoln were writing balloons without Riv & the red balloon at the end..all signs from God in my eyes.. God gave you a precious gift for 1,000 days..Praying for your family through this difficult time.. 💕

    I'd never heard a song from him before. But I had heard of the terrible tragedy that occurred last week.
    But When i heard The little boys laugh in the beginning,I swear I thought it was an angel laughing. I replayed it over and over. I'm so sorry for your loss, I truly couldn't imagine

    So sorry for your loss, this balloon video rings with me...and it will always with you now that you have lost your sweet child. We lost our grown daughter five years ago (they are always your baby) we let go of butterfly balloons to make it easier for her niece and nephews. To help them understand that aunt Jenn is now with God and when you see a butterfly it is her flying by to say hi. I wish I could tell you that the pain will get better...but after five years the ache is there, and what it is ..is our love and memories of missing our baby girl, for you your River. It does change to a different ache, but there will be days that those eyes leak and you can't help that the memories flood in. Much love and prayers to you and your family.

    River was a young child that's gone too soon, but not forgotten, even by people who never met him or his family. My heart and prayers go out to all his family, friends, and all those on TH-cam land, where everyone watched him grow and become the daredevil Granger and Amber always said. He was a full throttle, red headed, yee yee southern country boy. BLESS ALL.

I’d give anything to gave one more sit down talk on the front porch or at the kitchen table. I hope they are smiling down at me and proud of the addition to the family me and my wife have created. I miss you Papa Jefferis and Papa Brinegar. I love you and I know my blue sky prayers are getting through.

    Lost my twin babies Aug 20th 2019!! Since then my lil girl has sent balloons to heaven!! After the babies funeral... she started wanting 3 balloons instead of 1.. the. One day we walked outta the store and she let 2 of them go.. I said BOO WHY DID YOU LET THEM GO.. She said cause those are for Remi and James.. those go to the RAINBOW BRIDGE in Heaven.... they love getting balloons from us you know!
    Heart breaking but it’s how she’s coped!! I learned a lot of wisdom from that 3 year old since!
    She keeps them
    Alive for us!!!
    Today was “ one of those days” and I found this song... it was just what I needed!

I tell my 17 year old son that he is my anchor here he and his dad. Cuz my baby's are waiting for me in heaven they know brother needs me for now. I feel half human half heaven being. Mommas day always has both sweet and tender emotions lost a baby 3 yrs ago. Can't wait to get to hold her again. Thanks for this song it touched my heart today. Happy Mother's day.

    This song was incredibly hard to watch. There isn’t any amount of time that makes the pain of loss go away. But after burying my sister who was more of a mother and her unborn twins I have learned that life does become more bearable. I will always miss those I have lost, especially her but I know they walk with Jesus. My heart goes out to you still and always to your beautiful family.
