The reaction tells us that you are a wonderful stepdad.

Your not a Step Dad your the Dad that stepped up!!!!! Great job!

My son was 18 months old when I met my husband...when this song was released, it immediately became their song. Our son was in High School and came running in the house hollering...Dad, you have to hear this song! Its our story! **sitting here crying remembering the moment.

I lost the man I called dad back in 2007. I have to admit that I gave this man hell throughout my teens. I constantly disrespected him. He never faltered though and continued to treat me like I was biologically his. As we were standing in the church on my wedding day, he kissed my forehead, pulled my veil down, and told me I looked stunning. He held out his arm and said, "Are you ready?" All I said was, "Thank you for everything!" I will never forget his response. "You don't have to thank me! That's what daddies do!" ....but he didn't have to!

I’m adopted. I first heard this song while driving and I started crying so hard that I had to pull off the road and stop.

I met my son when . I started dating his mom while he was 6 months old. His dad abandoned him before he was born. We have been a family since then. I never needed a piece of paper to say he was mine. My son will be 21 in August and a couple of weeks ago he surprised me with the gift that he was changing his last name because he wanted the same last name as me and my dad. And he played this song for me. The best surprise of my life. Thank you for your reaction my friend.

Alright, who's cutting the onions? Go give your boys a big hug!

I am a step father too, and when he called me DAD for the first time it meant the world to me

The fact that you so emotionally connected to this song and allowed yourself to display what you were feeling, automatically makes you one of my favourite reactors.

My stepdad came into my life when I was 12. He gave up his dream of living in the country so that I could go to a better school in town. He bragged about my grades. He met my dates. He taught me how to drive. He took me fishing. He walked me down the aisle. He was the greatest grandfather to my sons. At the end of his life, he trusted me to make decisions for him. I was washing off his heated body following one of his surgeries when a nurse walked in and said she was impressed by our father-daughter bond. It brought him to tears. We lost him to cancer in 1999. I imagine your stepsons feel about you that I feel about him. Rhonda

I met my wife and my child when she was 3. She will be 17 tomorrow. I cant have children of my own but I thank God every day for putting her in my life. She said the the best. It's not blood but what's in our hearts that make us father and daughter.

This song came out about the time I adopted my oldest. (My wife's from a previous relationship) from the day we were married that 4 year old called me Dad. We have 2 sons now. The youngest is 27. Greatest complement I've ever received was when my oldest son told me "Dad I don't think I could do what you did, be a dad to someone else's kid, thank you."

This song always brings tears to my eyes. My biological father left me and my mother just before my third birthday. Just a little over six months later Mom re-married. He took over the fatherly duties and treated me as his own. I'm 40 years old now and there's only one man I call Dad. Thank you for everything you do ❤️

I'm a 78 year old, 6'4'' 230 old time trucker and this always makes me tear up. Just go with it

Dude, you have a HUGE heart! Don't be embarrassed by your real feelings. I'm retired U.S. military, and it makes me feel good to see people like you who still have REAL feelings! And, a bonuse is that you like Home Free, my favorites!

Seeing the tears in your eyes says everything...

I was adopted. This song rips my heart out and chews it up... EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Believe me mate, you're not the only one that bawls like a one year old without his binky.

I have a step daughter and she was 1 when I met her mom and she is everything to me !!! And she is grown now but she always will be my little girl . Thank you !!!!!

One of your best reactions ever! Your raw emotion is why I love your reactions so much! Ill bet that you are one fantastic "dad"! Just remember ....any guy can be a father....but it takes a special guy to be a dad! Happy Fathers Day!

Awww hugs to you for stepping up for your boys. Let your feelings go. We`'ll cry with you.

This is a sort of anthem for blended families. As a step-kid, thank you for being a step-parent. Don’t worry most of his songs (with a few exceptions) don’t pull at the heartstrings near as much. Most of the tears with other songs will be from laughing, not crying.

I am very blessed to be with a man who loves my children as his own. I have an autistic daughter and he knew when he married me that we would never have an empty nest. We just got legal guardianship over her now that she’s 18 and my 20 year old idolizes him. I am a blessed woman.

When I started listening to country and heard this song, I dedicated it to my stepdad who's been there since I was 9. Now that hes gone I cry everytime I hear it. Please do more Brad Paisley!

Man, you had me tearing up! I LOVE this song! For something lighter from Brad Paisley, try I'm Gonna Miss Her. Happy Father's Day! :)

Crying along with you. My stepdad was my world.

Every day is Father's day if you're a dad. Blessed, aren't we!

Let those emotions go my friend. It HELPS EVERYONE! Thank you... for being you, and helping raise those boys. *HUGS*

I met the man I call my dad when I was 8. He was the one who taught me how to be the man I am today! In my eyes, there is no step, he is just my Dad.

This is the most beautiful heartfelt reaction - I have ever seen-- You sir are an Awesome Dad -- and Man -- Thank you for showing us your heart!!

A man who gets that emotional is a real man and father.

You kid is happy to have you. My biggest wish in this world is to be a father

I love how emotional you get. Don't change, you're perfect.

Your a big man with a big heart!!! You said you are step dad to two boys. All I can say is lucky boys. God's Blessings

You’re a good man, never be afraid to cry

There's something about Brad that brings grown men to tears...I've seen it time & again...as easy as he can make you pee your pants laughing, he can break your heart( but in a good way) ... I showed my husband "waiting on a woman" and he'll never be the same.

this hits me hard because I'm with a girl of 4yrs that has a boy from a previous relationship and he is my whole world 😢😢😭😭

Country music always tells a story. Sometimes it's yours.

Country music gives us amazing stories. Thank you

From the States. "Good on you mate!" I hope they treasure the dad they have... that didn't have to be.

Omg that was amazing. I'm a mess crying so much. My brother adopted 2 girls. I'm sure you are a wonderful dad to the boys. So beautiful. You're a great man. Happy Father's Day 💞💞💞💞💞

Awww.....I love it when a man cries, especially when he sees himself in these music artists videos.... I would love to jump through that screen and hug you...and to let your wife know what an amazing guy she has....But of course she probably ALREADY knows this doesn't she? I've watched that song video several times....and I've cried each time I've seen it. WOW....you must be an amazing dad. ****************************** My sister married a man that adopted her two daughters and she adopted his son. This man was everything and ALL that those children of my sister needed. I have never EVER considered that those girls (my nieces) had any OTHER dad than the one that adopted them. I don't understand how people can have children and then for whatever reason just walk away. It happens. BOTH men & women do this..... Again, You're an amazing guy, and I don't know how old your step-sons are, but they apparently have an amazing "dad" Sorry....I don't like the term "step-dad" I never heard my nieces ever call the man that was their father anything but Dad. I know for sure they never referred to him as a "step-dad" to their friends either. I remember once when one of the girls came home with a paper she did for a class. You had to draw out your family tree. Now, this niece of mine KNEW she was adopted by her step-dad.....but when she showed that paper to her mom, my sister said to her " You know, this would be a great thing to have framed and give to your dad on Father's Day." My sister & her daughter did just that. My dad made a frame for the family tree paper. He & my niece made the frame together, and my niece painted the frame this icky blue color (her dad likes blue). That frame & family tree has a place of honor in the study of their home....right above the computer desk. I'd never seen a man cry so much as I did the Father's Day he was given that present......not ever!!! (My niece was 11 yrs old at the time) I will say that the girls have met their bio dad....and they just really aren't that interested. Sure, the relationship is there...but it's a few cards and a phone call or two. THAT's it. My brother-in-law.....is their dad....in every way possible. Thanks for sharing you are a Step-Dad.....

Your Son's , yes YOUR SON'S , If they grow to be half the man and father you seem to be, then bravo sir.

God Bless You for showing your emotion!! NEVER EVER feel ashamed!!

What a wonderful and beautiful reaction from you. From the heart....from the soul. You are an incredible man !!

Never ever be sorry for your feelings and emotions that a beautiful song like this makes us feel. If a man can honestly admit or show what he feels is one of the best gift he can give his children be it his own or hers. You will see the fruit of it in your later years. God bless you for stepping up to be the dad you did not have to be ❤❤

I first heard this song as I was driving to my foster father's funeral. I had to stop and cry. He took in a teenager and treated him as a son from day 1. I miss him every day. I listen to this song often and try to live up to his example with my own son. When you took off the headphones and said "nope can't do it" I also had to hit pause to clear my eyes. Thank you for doing this song.

Our Pops married our mom with 6 kids. 5 were teenagers! We were blessed and all of the siblings took care of him until he passed. We miss him so much.

Your a special man, hug your family. This is my first ever comment.

God Bless you, and the boys.

I love this song, the very first time I heard this, I was traveling down the road with my step son, he was 6 yrs old, had to pull off the road and wept, son says dad why did we stop? I told him, son?I just wanted to tell you I love you.. I also have a biological son he's a Marine and now stationed in Japan...i love them equal.

Happy Father's Day!!! (I'm not crying, You're crying!!) Go Love on them boys!!! And, Yeah, do more Brad Paisley!

Happy Fathers Day! Great reaction, another Brad Paisley song, you might like is, Whiskey Lullaby, with Allison Kraus.

My daughter has a stepdad she loves him with all her heart and he loves her he couldn't have any kids of his own. i have a step grandpa and he was wonderful. You stepped up hon i am proud of you.

This song makes me cry anyway, but your reaction drives home why it's so special. There's so many songs about family and about dad, but this is the first song I've heard that celebrates step fathers. I can't find the right words for what I was going to say here. I'll just say that I'm happy for you to have a song that celebrates you.

Such a tribute to all the "forgotten " real dads!

Such a heartfelt reaction. Being a stepparent takes a special kind of person. 💕

I watched the reaction to this cause I've now become a Step-Dad. I'm adopted by my Step-Dad, this song is timeless in that there are always men willing to put kids that's aren't theirs ahead of themselves.

I think somebody has found a new anthem. loved your reaction. Brad Paisley songs are always either deep or hilarious. do more brad. you'll become a huge fan.

I love you Pat! Seriously! I know I’m late, but Happy Father’s Day! I’m sure your two kids will remember your love forever! ❤️

The very last part of this video, where you’re talking about the Star Wars cup and that it says ‘Best Dad in the Galaxy’, that says it all to your fans. It tells us that you’re doing a good job at being a step dad. Enjoy your day, Pat. God bless you and your family.

Brother this is what country music is...real life and songs that make you feel

Takes a big man to show emotion like that.

This heartfelt reaction made me a subscriber. From Georgia, USA - you are a great man indeed for being the man you didn't have to be. 🥰

Brad has some very moving songs. Whiskey lullaby is another tear jerker. And some that will make you die laughing.

You know a song is good when it touches your soul!! Great job Dsddy!!

Oh you sweet man! ❤😭❤ You had me crying along with you! 🥰 Precious reaction! Your sons are very fortunate. 😉

You have a great heart.Do not think you cannot be the Dad you do not have to be.

Good Dad's don't have to be blood! Love fits anywhere. I cried too.

From one step-dad to another.... thank you, brother. I know your boys will realize how much you've loved them.

You are so sweet. Your wife and your sons are very lucky. Brad is an awesome song writer. Do song his does with Dolly Parton Called “When I Get To Where I’m Going”. Soooo good

A reaction. That is what we are here for. You delivered. It's a special song.

Country music sure can get you right in the feels, can't it?

I subscribed and like the video my grandfather became my dad on my 3rd birthday and he taught me to be the man I am today I truly respect you for taking care of them and being a good dad

This song means so much to me because I was a single mother and I met a man and married him and he loves my son with his everything

I have a step son and this hit me hard.. if you want a fun Brad Paisley song, do I gonna miss her. No really!

Brad Paisley is a great story teller.

Love for all the parents who didn't have to be

I know I reacted once already but now that I have a little bit of okay a lot of liquid courage your reaction is just one of the best. My son is always known me as his dad but is he ever finds out that I'm not his I pray to God he knows that I put my blood sweat and tears and countless nights of not sleeping making sure he knows I love him with all my heart.

Ur reaction was so raw n hard 2 watch...u must be a awesome dad 2 those kids....god bless u! ♥️

you should be proud of yourself show this to your wife & kids

nothing but respect for you being the dad you didn't have to be

New subscriber. I have two kids but I was raised by my step dad. He raised 3 of us and is now raising my brother’s 2 kids. I’ve told him and I’m going to say the same to you. It takes a specific and special kind of man to raise kids as if they’re his own even though you don’t share blood. Good on you bro. Loved the reaction!

Many hugs and Happy Father's Day I was raised by a stepfather till I was like 11 or 12 I have recently found my real father in like the last year

I feel you brother i have 4 adopted children.. ages 7, 7, 9,12. All girls! My wife and i adopted these kids from really bad situations. They're all happy and healthy now living here in Wyoming..♥️♥️

How lucky your kids are to have you! Very emotional song.

Thank you for being willing to be a father-by-heart.

God bless you sir!!!

What a great reaction to a Great song! Thanks for sharing your heart & your story. Happy Fathers Day!! Keep relations to Brad coming. You won’t be disappointed & he’s a great guitar picker! So many songs to listen to...Try “ Waitin on a Woman”

I think from what I've seen those two boys have a great stepdad if you show feelings for them like you show in your reaction they are lucky to have you 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I involuntarily laugh out of sheer happiness when a good song hits someone as it is supposed to be.

I lost the man I call Dad 10yrs ago, and if my other half is even half the dad he was when we have kids he will be wonderful

Absolutely love Brad Paisley!

Great song, Brad is always the best. Great reaction video. All men should watch and listen to this song. those that are a dad, stepdad, one day wish to be a dad etc. Always be the best father figure for shaping the next generation. It's good to be emotional when you watch, that means it hits home and will stay with you. A couple other suggestions for you - Anything Like Me - Brad Paisley and also Waitin' On A Woman (with Andy Griffith) - Brad Paisley

Your reaction here is now one of my favorite reactions I have Ever seen . Much appreciation to your channel .

This is my first time turning into you reacting to music videos. I'm so touched by your response. You're a good man. In fact, in my opinion, the world is a better place knowing that you're in it. Don't ever change. Take care

That was the most genuine reaction to a song that I've seen. The brilliance and joy of music is that it can make you feel so deeply and country is one of the best genres for that. Now go tell those boys of yours how much you love them!

Those Country songs can hit ya straight through the heart.

Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby ft. Alison Krauss

I'm sitting here crying along with you. Great reaction.

Alabama USA here, Most country music tells a story. I am sure you are a great dad. My stepfather has been a great dad too.
