My Daddy , Sgt. Charles A. Silcox ,United States Army, passed on December 26th 2021. In his last couple months he would be talking to his family that had already passed. We would wake him for his meds and its would startle him, PTSD. He would say " Man, why did you wake me up...?" Daddy told us stories of Vietnam and the Dairy Farm he grew up on. I played and sang this song at his service, right before the 21 guns, and the 2 soldiers folded Old Glory and presented to my Mother. God Bless Our Soldiers! Thank You Sir for a wonderful song! Love You Daddy!!! Thank You for Everything!!! See You Later!!

Many years ago on his death bed, my grandfather spent the last 4 hours of his life speaking in German with his brother. His brother had been dead nearly 30 years and my grandfather hadn"t spoken fluid, conversational German since he was a boy, speaking nothing but German at home. My grandfather's nurse was kind enough to tell us all about his last few hours, and said she thought it was interesting that when he spoke there would be the usual pauses as if listening to what was being said to him, etc All of this simply went to support what I've felt all my life...that what we're doing here is far from the End Of It.

The field, the creek, the honey bees, the old truck with the fishing poles in the tail gate and the cobbler. I can't hear this song without tearing up over it because he's singing about the road I walked and road my bicycle on when I was little.

I think this song takes everyone back to that "one moment" in their childhood. For me, I'm about 11 or 12. My mom was teaching me to skip rocks in a small creek in between softball games. I fell in and had to pitch soaking wet. It was one of the best games I ever had. My coach told me i should be thrown in before all games. My mom has since passed and I would give just about anything to spend that day skipping rocks with her again.

Same ❤ I don't normally comment on anything but omg. this song, I think it is just...I cry every time i hear it, it is so sad and at the same time so sweet. It reminds me of my own childhood growing up in a small SC town, and it also reminds me of my grandmother and listening to her stories of growing up on a little dirt farm in the middle of nowhere, dirt poor, during the great depression with her 8 brothers and sisters, and she was just full of nothing but good memories and funny stories and i loved hearing all of them. She said that they used to catch big ole "june bugs" and then tie a strjng around their leg and they bad a june bug kite for the day 😂 I miss her so much and treasure her stories like diamonds. She lost my Pop Pop when he was 67, they'd been together since the age of 13, and she wore his ring until the day she died at 94 yrs old. The last time i went to see her was 4 days before she died, sharp as a tack right to the very end. She was the last one of her 8 brothers and sisters left, bless her heart. She loved me more than anything in the world and frankly I am blessed to have had her as my grandma for 45 years of my life. She was a fighter, but even the best fighter's give out after so long and the last thing she said to me was "I'm so glad you came to see me today, but I was having the most wonderful dream when you walked in and woke me up, and I'm eager to get back to it! I daid what were you dreaming about grandma, tell me! She smiled and said "Me and Elmer (Pop) were kids again, & we were walking to the creek with our cane poles and a bucket of worms we'd dug up behind daddy's wood shed. And he reached out and took my hand and said I'm gonna marry you someday, u know. And i said, oh i can't wait for the day! And we walking hand in hand both sniling from ear to ear...and we were almost to the creek when I woke up. If you dont mind, i think I'll shut my eyes and get back to Elmer now, he's been waiting so long for me to join him, and i do miss him so... ❤ I said well don't keep him waiting then, and when u see him will u tell him that i love him? She said, oh he knows, and he loves you too, always has. I kissed her cheek and she went back to sleep smiling, and i just stood and watched her for what seemed forever, and then i whispered "Its okay to go now, I know how long you've waited to be with Pop Pop again. And one day I'll join y'all, won't it be fun! That's why i love this song so much its so sad and so so sweet too. ❤

My dad always told a story about Dyersburg, Tennessee, and him and his buddies in the 30's, saw a plane fly over town (rare sight) so they jumped on their old fixed up bikes and rode down to a dirt road near a landing strip outside of town, and bounced barefoot across a field of dandelions to the airstrip only to find the plane didn't land there. There was a small Mississippi tributary nearby with an old empty houseboat tied off on the edge of the shore line, so they all explored the boat and took turns jumping off into the water. After, drying off in the sun, they jogged back across the field back to their bikes, bouncing between patches of dandelions again, with bees hovering around the patches of the flowers. Dad said he was in the rear, when his barefoot came down on a snake. Said he took off like a rocket, passing everyone to the bikes on the side of the old dirt road. When he got there, bent over from being out of breath, said he couldn't even hardly see his feet, from all the weeds and dandelions stuck between all his toes. God bless that man. WW II combat Merchant Marine.

What a story this song tells. Here is a man who was going through a really hard time in his life. He falls asleep and begins to dream about a place where pain was nonexistent and life was carefree. A moment that the cold weather and hunger he was facing seemed like a vacation. Then along comes someone and wakes him up from the relief from the pain he was experiencing. I can totally relate when he says I wish you just left me Alone because i was Almost Home. It would be like climbing that cliff just to get to the top only to fall back to where you started. Powerful powerful song if you really dissect it

@@skinnyslims5327 It’s hard to remember who you are and what you’re capable of right after they go ahead of us. When I looked at my daddy, I saw the man that I could be, something I never saw in a mirror. It’s difficult not to have him here as a mentor. But his lessons are like a tree. It was a seedling back then, but now it has grown deep roots, and I am beginning to see him in me. That’s how I know im doing something right. In time, the pain will become strength, and slowly, you will remember what you’ve been told, and you’ll feel closer and closer to him as you grow.

Later in my career at another Department had another homeless man in small stone shelter dead winter it was 10 Degrees. Wearing six pairs of pants. I tried to help both. With no luck. Later when Craig Morgan wrote this incredible song I always reflect on these two guys. I handled many homeless people it’s sad but their way of life

As the years passed they each started to pass not ever making up. Then when one of my aunts was on her death bed while suffering to the end. She suddenly got happy because her brothers who she hadn't talked to in years and had already passed was there to see and she began to talk to them. She passed later that night. I just lost another aunt and there is only one left. I like to think that they are in a much better place together and happy again.❤
