This is so raw, his face,his voice,his eternal sadness. Every time he performs this song, we all feel that pain with him.

I watched my dad as a child do exactly all the actions Craig Morgan sang about. When I lost my brother it completely broke him. And 12 years later he still sits on the front porch for a few hours everyday. When I asked him about it he just replied, “I’d happily relive this pain and grief everyday as long as you and your siblings never know what it’s like to bury your own child.”

To Craig and all the people that have commented, my prayers are with each of you. I could not imagine the pain you're feeling. My son is 22 and is serving across seas in the Army. I almost lost him to suicide this past Christmas when he was home last. The gun jammed. I know it was God watching over him. He is now saved by God's Holy Grace and also has a beautiful baby boy of his own that he's so excited to see when he returns home. Again, my prayers are with you All ❤

Amen. My son is 30. I care for him. He is a disabled Army vet. We still have him so as a Dad I am thankful. I am also a disabled vet, 28yrs in the Army. I am not as bad. He cannot walk. I can. I have a tied together back and a rebuilt shoulder, and had my right arm put back together, however, I am better off than he is. We have Jesus and we have each other. We soldier on.

How anyone can dislike this song, a song about how he deals with his son's loss, is beyond my comprehension. Beautiful tribute to his son.

I meet Craig in his family in January before for the accident. I was the security/escort for them at a football halftime performance. His son was very respectful. Craig stopped and talked to every first responder that he saw. Jerry said "You know its gonna take us forever to get there. He has to stop and say thank you to them." I told him I had all the time he needed. Jerry talked about his dad and was proud of him.

There is no loss more profound than the loss of a child. None. Only through Christ is there healing.

Military hero, badass singer, I say this once or twice a year.. when my depression is at it highest I listen to you Sir. Thank you again for your service ranger

ACM's and CMA's Song of the year next year 🤞 Edit: OMG thank you for the likes

One of the bravest things I ever seen a man do and I'm a combat veteran marine

I lost my almost 2-year-old son August 26, 2021. I’ve listened to this about 100 times. Thank you for making this song, it gives me hope that someday this heart crushing pain will be easier to manage. I’m sad that any of us have to know what this feels like.

After almost 5 years, I can talk about this without immediately breaking down. Apparently my Son thought he couldn't go on any longer and took his own life. I first heard this song and just broke down in tears. I listened to it here and there and every time I would lose it. I am finally to a point where I can listen without breaking down straight out, I still get misty eyed, but this has helped me to cope along the way. Thank you Craig for such a beautiful and inspiring song. I feel it.

God Bless You Craig Morgan. Takes a heck of a man to sing a song about something so personal to him.

Revelation 21:4 ESV He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

My son died 3 weeks ago. He was 39 years old, and suffered a heart attack. No warning. This song absolutely brings me to my knees, but it also gives me hope. Thank you Craig

I lost my 1 month old son September 1st of 2018 I don’t think Craig realizes how much this song saved parents grieving their children

Who else loves this damn song !

I lost my son Easter morning 2019. This is so powerful it hurts so bad. I miss him more than words can say but this was close.... Thank you for this it was touching and beautiful.

I lost my 17 year old son suddenly in Jan of 2019. Some days it’s all I can do to get out of bed. Thank you for sharing your heart with this song.

Dear Craig, I'm feeling your pain. My son Trent 19 years old 3 weeks from his 20th took a short ride on his motorcycle April 7, 2004. Quarter mile from the house a man turned in front of him and ended his life and broke our hearts. 20 years later and my eyes are full of tears. It never goes away. God bless you Graig

This song has helped me so much since my precious daughter, Corporal Erin Rachel Lilley-Fogle, who proudly served in the USMC at Parris Island, SC was killed October 11, 2019 when she stopped to help someone that had been involved in a car accident and was hit by another vehicle. God bless you and your family, Craig Morgan. You will be in my prayers. Thank you so much for this song and how it has blessed me and brought some peace. Someday, we will both be home with your precious son and my precious daughter. I can't wait until that day comes....I love you my sweet Erin Rachel.

The strength is took to be able to sing this without his voice cracking is astounding in itself.

Dear Mr. Morgan My name is Daniel a couple years ago my 17 year old son my hero my life fell off a 200 ft cliff near a dam in Kentucky ... i swore my spirit and my body separated at that moment i called and called his name but he didn't answer and i couldn't see him i yelled for God in tears i pleaded plz Lord let me hear his voice... suddenly i heard a faint voice say "God take away the pain" i praised God in that moment and then called 911 in 4 minutes the EMS was there and they looked over the side of the cliff and looked at me and said "we cant rappel down that" all i could think was you have to you have to get my son suddenly 2 boats were on the water and attempting to rescue him the sheriff sent me to the other side of the damn to the boat ramp telling me " sir your boy will be taken to that boat ramp you need to be there when he is brought to the ramp" i got in my truck and as i got on the damn and i looked back i stopped my truck and i cried and cried because i had seen where he had landed in some giant boulders at the waters edge i wondered if anyone could survive that fall i told myself i didn't think anyone could i was beating on the steering wheel scared and the overwhelming knowing rushed over me that this may be my last day on earth if they bring me my son and he didn't survive i already knew i then wouldn't either. I got to the boat ramp and as i parked at the doc there were at least 30 first responders on the doc there were so many they had to get some of them off the floating doc it was about 7 mins b4 the boats showed up with my son i couldn't tell if he was alive or not suddenly the sheriff came and got me and said "come see your boy sir" i got to the stretcher they had him on i could tell he was ALIVE i was in tears i caressed his hair and i said i love you son he replied i love you dad" i knew then i still had my son i didn't know if he was going to be paralyzed or had brain damage or what because he wasn't moving the lower part of his body and his head was injured and bleeding they placed him in the ambulance and drove him to the upper part of the parking lot where a helicopter was waiting to fly him to the hospital they once again allowed me to see him touch him and then they loaded him on the chopper and they took him away. I had no idea where he went nor any idea on how to get there , the sheriff gave me instructions and i was gone. i reached a small town named liberty and realized i had very little fuel and the hospital was 90 mins away then i realized that i had no money no credit cards nothing you see I'm disabled and my son carried my money and cards bc he went into the stores for me .. i went in and basically begged the young couple behind the counter for some fuel to get to my son the young man said "I'm sorry no its against policy" the young lady said " i will help you but if you don't pay it back it comes outta my check" i swore id pay her back and i gave her my drivers lisc as assurance. i filled the tank and 70 mins later got to the hospital where they told me my boy was broken up pretty bad broken back in 2 places shattered leg broken shoulder blades broken arms skull split open in 2 places internal bleeding and damaged liver and more i sat at his side and i prayed and prayed and i cried and cried the doctors came in and said he will need multiple back surgeries and went on with a list of things he would have to come thru to survive with any kind of quality of life. as we sat in that hospital for weeks my son trying to learn to stand and walk and be whole again he turned to me and said " Dad God gave me another chance what do I do with it?" i said son " the best you can because son some fathers don't get their sons back until they go home to see them" we cried and then I found this song and i cry each time i hear you sing this song and i know if not for the grace of our Lord God i too would be living your song.... i am so so deeply and sincerely sorry that you have lost Jerry your precious boy i have no words that could make it better but each morning when i wake i play and sing your song because its my reminder that i too could be as God yourself and my own father whom all have lost a son. i don't deserve to have been spared that unimageable pain but i play your song so i don't ever ever forget. thank you from the deepest parts of my being for your hurt your faith and your song. Sincerely Daniel.

I love this song!! My husband & I lost our only child, Brian. My pain is indescribabland... his is too but he hides it well. This song brought him to his knees. He needed that cry so much. God bless you for singing this song that allows men to know okay to feel this loss just as much as Moms do.💞❤💞

At the end when he says holy ghost you can almost tell he was fighting so hard well done Craig the Lord will bless you for still believing and trusting in him even after something so tragic

Gotta be one of the hardest hitting songs I’ve ever heard. Even in the music video the pain in his eyes is palpable

I just lost my son this past August 18, 2023. He was 39 and it was sudden. Today, I'm watching a Fall Flashback on the Kelly Clarkson Show, and Craig Morgan is performing this song. I really feel this happened for a reason. I can relate to this song's lyrics. What he is singing about is what I'm feeling, what my husband is feeling. I feel my son with me even though I can't see him, but someday it will be me, my Father, my son and the Holy Ghost. Thank you for sharing Craig Morgan, I really needed to hear this song❤️

WOW! The emotions of this song. You can't listen and watch Craig without your heart ripping out. The people with thumbs down need to be prayed for.

Rips out the heart strings. I can so relate to this song. It's been over 19 years since my 6 year old son passed. May they find some kind of peace....💔

I lost my 12 year old son two weeks ago.... there’s no pain or heartache worse.... momma loves you, Gage 😢

I lost my 18 yr old son almost 3 months ago. This song connects with me in a way I never wanted it too. God bless you sir. And thank you

I understand your brokenness and heart breaking pain. My son went home too. I will never be the same. I am a different person because part of my heart is gone until I go home. Help me Jesus!

They say time makes it better,but it doesnt,it just dulls the pain a little but the thoughts,the sounds,the empty missing feeling never leaves. ..

God Bless Craig Morgan. Lost my boy at the age of 4, He was the bravest boy. Childhood diabetes. We did everything together. Even a little hunting.

I lost my youngest son almost 18 years ago, it feels like it was yesterday. I miss him every single day. One day I’ll be home ❤

I lost my precious 7 year old daughter Sophie on 10-26-19. This song was played on repeat for months. I understand every single word of it :( God Bless you Craig, in the loss of your son. There is now a word for a Bereaved parent...we are called Vilomah....it means out of the natural order. Our kids aren't supposed to go before us!!!

God bless you brother. I remember watching the news and the report of your son passing. I often wondered how a parent could keep on going after a loss like that. On April 1st of this year I was dispatched to a call every officer fears of getting . My stepson was one of the 22 veterans that day and I found him. I can see by watching my wife every day what you must be going through Craig. Hang in there brother. Our lives will never be the same again until we go home...

My son died three years ago. This song resonates with me and my family. I love it and Craig Morgan I belong to the club that no parent wants to be a part of and that no one can understand unless you have been through it. God Bless!

I'm not religious. I saw you on the Today Show a couple years back. I have a son who turns 41 Friday. It hit something deep inside. I hope your days are becoming easier. Sending much love.

I don't cry,,, not even over death... I was taught to celebrate the life not mourn the death... But you sir, have put so much emotion in your song and the lyrics that it brought a lump in my throat and a tear into my eye... Thank you for sharing with us....

I've lost two of my 3 boy's now, my firstborn in 04 and my youngest this past February. I'm honestly not sure if I'm still here, just going through the motions, but this touched my heart to the core. There is no place to put it but to understand that God lost his son too. Pain and devastation do not begin to express the loss, there are no words but this song comes close.

Whoever disliked this, you have NO heart. This song is about his son that he lost in a drowning accident. Have some respect.

Lost my son at 42 a massive heart attack. I never had words when someone would ask how l could go on you nailed it. Thank you for digging deep inside and listening to our Father and sons in Heaven

I love this song. I lost my 28 year old special needs son Dec.12,2020. And 5 weeks later lost my dad. Thank you for writing this song.

I've never felt the pain from a singer to the degree I feel his pain in this video. The balls it took to make this video and to even sing this song more than once is amazing.

My last two years have been tough at times.. Jesus was my help .. I would not have survived if not but for the grace of God...

Lost my 20 yr old son in 2019. Found this song today. Miss you Ryan!

We lost my brother this year on 10 July 2023 which is the same date you lost your son. I don't normally listen to radio driving into work, but this morning I switched it on to hear this song playing.... brought me to tears once again, but also brought peace knowing although he is not here....he is not gone. Thank you for the beautiful song....

I lost a boy last year. Like what Craig sings, "I'll never be completely healed.." but God works in so many mysterious ways to find us and for us to find him. God bless you always.

You can see the pain in his eyes when he is singing this. I could never imagine the pain he feels or the pain any parent feels when they have lost a child. Such a beautiful song and should be getting a lot of attention!!

Thank you for this song. God bless you. I have never lost my faith in Christ through everything that I have gone through. When I was a child, I was molested many times. I saw Jesus and knew that He would never leave me. I was abused as a young adult and later on, even as recent, especially emotionally. I lost my Grandfather, who raised me as his own, in January 2006. Then I lost my middle Son, in August 2006, 2 weeks after his forever 18th birthday, in a tragic car accident. Ten years later I lost my oldest Son, forever 29, also to a tragic car accident. He was a 100% Disabled Afghanistan Army Veteran and left behind my two beautiful Granddaughters. Time does not change anything, it still hurts the same. My grief will remain until we are reunited. But I still carry on, struggling to just feel anything sometimes. I remember the happiest moments. I love and am thankful for my only living child (my youngest), my Daughter, my Son-in-law and my Grandchildren. My Daughter and Son-in-law are raising my Son's two girls, as he requested several years in advance if anything should happen to him. They also have a child, my sweet handsome Grandson. If it wasn't for the grace of God, and my family, I don't know how I would survive. I truly trust and know that the Lord knows what He is doing. He has a plan and I will follow. Amen. 🙏✝️🕊💜👼🛐✨️

Father, be with my brother Craig. Give him a peace that surpasses all understanding while you weave the thread of your purpose into the story of his life. "Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore, only the life Ive lived. Twice in that life Ive been given the choice; as a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety while the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness. Thats the deal." C.S. Lewis

Im a black guy that loves country music and finally country is back

Never clicked on a music video upload so fast. This is one of the most emotional and genuine songs I have ever heard. You can just feel the raw emotion in this performance and your heart just has to go out to him.

Today is the day my son was born & passed away. He would've been 11 years old today. Love this song

My Brother lost his only son 4 years ago now. Marcus was 30. His heart was so broken. I honestly think this song helped my Brother. When you have that hole no one can fill, no one understand then you see, meet or hear your song, it seemed like a bit of peace came over him. Oh he is still very sad about the loss. But this loss brought my brother face to face with JESUS. He was Baptized at 60 years old. In a country Church we all grew up in. Thank you for sharing your loss. It saved my brother.

The best song that I wish was never ever written. Thank you Craig for sharing thank you Blake for supporting. To the 3 dislikes, find Jesus.

We need this song to be a number one hit . This song is one of the best things I’ve heard on country radio in a long time . A song of meaning and purpose. This is probably a hard subject for him to sing about and it probably means the world to him knowing his fans support him and his family . God bless Craig Morgan .

The best song about life ever written.

This is the most amazing song. Suffering a heartbreaking tragedy and putting it to song. It is helping so many people. God bless you brother!

This song is such a heart-gripping example of why God created music.

Just a little over 3 yrs ago, we lost our middle son Eric, the frist time I heard this song, it broke me, everytime I hear it, tears well up in my me, my heart literally hurts, I know his pain to well. I would never b able to sing this song without losing it. Bless your heart Craig Morgan n ur family, stay strong, the pain never goes away but the memories are well worth the tears. R.I.P. Eric Eric's Mama Forever 17 💚💔🧡🙏

I just lost my son a little over a month ago. I feel the pain he is singing and it’s so raw. I also cry and pray and cry and pray. This song is real life for me right now and it brings a little comfort

We’re forever grateful Craig shared this piece of his heart with us. God bless you brother!

God is good! If anyone ever needs a prayer or anything please reach out. God love you and you are not alone 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This song hit home hard my little brother committed suicide March 13, 2019 and it's been a struggle for my entire family especially my mom as she was there and heard the gun shot that took his life I hope she will listen to this song and be reminded everyday she is not alone

I lost my son two years ago, and this song is exactly spot on. I too feel my son with me every day, and I too know he is with his Heavenly Father, and I too know that I'll see him again. Painful? Yes! But peaceful at the same time. I love this, Craig Morgan. Beautifully writtten, beautifully performed, and a reminder to us all that they are not truly lost, but they are home because God called them home. Thank you!

Ive got The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost! I ask for prayers of believers, for my husband,Wes, and myself, please? We are both handicapped and just getting by in this weary world. "Like so many others as well" We pray for the ones less fortunate, than us, and we ARE blessed, but, still long for the "favour" of the Lord Jesus Christ! He is risen! Thank you, and God bless each of you!

He cant hold back his tears at the end. 😔That's pain...

Damn - 3:26 you can tell he's about to lose it...this is probably the most emotional song I've heard in my life.

I lost my 19-month-old grandbaby who was my baby. My heart my morning, noon and night in my house fire back in March. It totally took all the life out of me and I don't know how to find it again for the other kids. I thank you so much for putting in words exactly how I feel and God bless you. Bless you

I'm a mom, I had 4 sons, I love them with all my heart. This song hit me hard, my first son age 36 died, 4 years later I lost another son age 44, one year later my husband of 43 years died. I still have 2 sons that I love with all my heart. This song hit my heart, I don't believe the pain ever goes away, they are with me all the time, I talked to them everyday. My heart n soul will never be whole until we meet in heaven.

love there is no dislike this song should be liked by all

This is painful to listen to. His voice just has so much emotion. And that last line just got me.

I lost my 24 year old son in a car accident days before Thanksgiving last year. "I won't completely heal until I go home" - thank you Craig - a grieving parent can see themselves in your eyes. No parent should have to bury their child. I look forward to the day I don't wake up and am reunited with my son again.

My son passed away 4 weeks ago I did everything in this song I prayed I cried he was 47 years old died of an aneurysm no signs rest in peace my baby boy thank you Craig Morgan for this song I play it everyday

That gave me chill bumps. Theirs somethen to say about a man that has that look in his eyes. It says he’s experienced more pain then any an deserves. Bless you Craig.

W🥺W.THANK YOU🎈I lost my only son after 3brave fights with cancer. The research facility errored,over chemod him with a drug that shouldn't have been administered, due to his respiratory history. 21days of night.a faulty vent tube,when attempting to change out,was cause for his lungs to suction together,his diaphragmup into the chest wall.by the time they opened his lungs back up,they said,"he'slost too much oxygen to the brain".i was his health care proxy,I promised not to leave him before they intubated him,to not be trapped in his body-that decision killed me that godawful day...you《have given me hope,I thought was unreachable. 💖🙇🏽‍♀️God bless you and yours, now and forever🕊👣

Beautiful. Thank you and God bless you.

I lost my baby brother, Cliff, 52, Sunday, December 5th, right before Christmas. I thought about this song. My mom is still here with my sisters and I. She lost her only son. Please pray for my family. Thank You and God Bless You!!!

If you dislike this song you need your heart changed as only Jesus Christ can change it.

This is a beautiful human experiencing the ultimate heartbreak. One of my favorite country singers. I remember when this happened and I can’t imagine his pain. Prayers and peace for this man and his family.

Losing a child or parent is a pain you cannot explain until it happens to you.

I lost my 19 year old son almost 4 years ago. He went fast doing what we loved most, riding motorcycles. Craig, thank you so much for singing what all of us fathers are feeling. The emptiness feels a little warmer listening to your song of hope.

Love this. We lost 2 nieces. One was 3 and drowned, The other a seizure while driving. Our hearts are torn for ever. Sending you love and prayers. I know not a single day goes by for you that you dont think of and miss your son. God bless your heart!

This gives me goosebumps everytime. Lost my best friend and cousin to drugs in June this year. Your song gives hope that I'll see him again. My condolences to you and your family. God bless. John 3:16

Been 6 years since I lost my son Clayton he would be 43 now.....powerful song I was broke!!!

I lost my youngest grandson, then 7 months later my wife of 43yrs10mon. God bless you Craig this helps the hurt.

I really can’t fathom how someone would dislike this song

Best song of 2k19 that hit my SOUL

This song reminds me so much of my Daddy he grieved my 2 brothers that died when they were so young. My Father went to his grave waiting to see my brothers in Heaven with God.❤️❤️❤️ Ty Craig Morgan for this song.. I miss my brothers and my Daddy💙💙💙

Thank you, Mr. Morgan for the gift of this song. I lost a sixteen year old brother in 1975 in a motorcycle accident. I watched my parents go through many of the things that you describe in the song over the years. Dad was "completely healed" in 2013 and mom is now 84 years old. I played this video for her about a month ago and when it was over she looked at me with a tear in her eye and said "It's Beautiful". I could tell that it gave her some peace. Thanks again for saying what many people needed to hear.

You can really see the pain in his eyes while he’s trying to hold back the tears that are forming

I didn't think Craig Morgan could top Almost Home but he just did.. So sorry for his lost.. But this really speaks to the heart. I'm sure it will help others who are dealing with loss also... Bless❤

I'm sorry for your loss . This song hit home with me . I'm 32 and still live at home with my parents . I was born with dyslexia and asthma and just found out I have epilepsy . and I had a hiking accident at the age of 15 , I had to have a emergency surgery . Because I had crushed the end of of my long bone and broke the tip off of the Short bone of my Left ankle . The doctor told my parents that if I had done more damage. I would not be able to walk with having to help . Today it's been 17. Year's . I'm able to walk on my own without help . After all that happened I have been dealing with anxiety and depression . Because before that happened I had plans to go to school to become a smoke jumper and a paramedic.

Military hero, Singer/ Songwriter took his tragedy, losing his son and it has become a healing for so many. We've lost people we love but to lose a child... It also sends a message... Trust in God, we'll all be together again if we give our lives to Him. People, tell those you love that you love them because none of us are promised tomorrow.

Lost my step son and my daughter in a wreck this last June. This song is amazing and I’ve already listened to it on repeat like 20 times. I’ll see y’all again Nick and Ivy

God had a pencil Craig’s son had a highlighter god drew the world Craig’s son made it brighter

As a Veteran, a father and just a man.... thank you.

Oh my. I have like your music but hasn’t realized your lost with this song. I married late in life with the understanding there might not be children. 6 years later I was blessed with a son when I was 35. Another 4 years later another was on the way and 4 weeks early I was given my Angel boy. 2 years later I was divorced. They are what have gotten me through my ups and downs. Thank you for sharing your strength
