My daddy's been gone nearly a year. (5/25/13) I was tending to him in hospice. I remembered that he opened his eyes and saw me sitting on his bed. He said to me, "You know, they can't fix this, they can't fix me?" I replied, I know Pop, I know. I told him that I loved him and he said, I love you too, I always have. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I put my head on his chest and listened to the last time his heart would beat. He was gone. If you still have your daddy, hug him tight make sure that he knows you love him. I love and miss you Pop! Beautiful song.

2:41 when her voice began to crack, I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This song is so emotional. This always makes me cry. Love you dad. Wish you a long and healthy life. ❤️

Cried so hard over this my dad just died on 4/13/14 at 8:45 p.m. and, I did see my dad waste away in the hospital. I held his hand and, told him he could go that I would be alright. This is truly beautiful I miss my dad so much. I know he is watching over me now. RIP dad I will ALWAYS love you.

I've had a rough rough relationship with my Dad. We've clashed many times and had many fights but I am at a point in my life where I have the desire to love him to the best of my abilities. I think about all the things he's done for me, The life he gave me & the roof he has kept over my head and the food on my plate. My father, my hero and my best friend. Love you so much Dad ❤👪

I cry every time I hear this beautiful song. My dad is still with me, but I am so scared to lose him one day...

The last verse of this song holds so true for me right now. My father is laying in the hospital with Lung cancer just wasting away to nothing and when I hear the last verse of this song... I just break down and start crying. I love him and it hurts so much... but I will be happy when he is finally at peace, he's suffered so much over these last few months...

It never goes away the sense of emptiness and the missing of those we love but the ability to live and move on does. Those we lost want us to find some sense of joy and happiness after they have past on. Heaven is a place waiting for all of us if we show love and kindness throughout our lives. We then will reunite with our loved ones and the good Lord. There the love is eternal and beyond anything we can show or experience here on earth.

The best song ever written for a father and daughter's relationship.

This song can bring the biggest man to tears

This song was released months before I lost my dad, my rock to cancer. 11 years later and I still cannot get through this song without completely breaking down.

My dad died 4 days ago on my birthday, and I sang this song in his ear as he was passing.. I've never ever felt such pain Best strongest man I've ever known

One of the bravest things anyone could say, especially in relation to the last verse.

I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 2 years old and grew up with an extremely hostile step dad. My dad was an exceptional man who always put his family first and I am so incredibly heartbroken that I didn't get very much time with him. He died within 4 months of his diagnosis. I feel for all of you who have lost your dads ♡♡ There's a void in my life that can never be filled but I know he's watching over me. It's so hard for me to watch father/daughter dances and know I'll never have my dad walk me down the aisle or watch me graduate from University. But I'm lucky that he was in my life at all. Love you so much daddy rip ♡

I and my family was with my father and mother when they died several years apart , I couldn't say "you can go now daddy". God took them both at His timming . Now they are with Him and are watching over all their children.

This is my 2nd cousin. I'm Native and I got to meet her when I went to visit her for the first time a while ago my last name is Richard but again she is my (2nd cousin) it was wonderful seeing my grandpa cry when he went to see his granddaughter :)

I remember when I first heard this story in my parents bedroom in 2010. My dad had shown it to me and I cried. I have now witnessed crystal play twice and met her the second time. As soon as she made eye contact with me I started to cry just like I was watching/listening to this video for the first time. I admire crystal so much.

My dad died when I was five and i still remember it. He was sleeping and my mom and sis were watching TV in the living room. I asked them to blow up a balloon for me and my mom said to ask dad. i remember as soon as i got to the door i felt so cold. I walked up to him. I called to him and he didn't wake up. i touched his hand and i felt how cold and weak it was. He died of a heart attack in his sleep. I never even got to say goodbye or i love you. :' (

Such a beautiful song ! Very proud of you caring for people and especially personal family times when you are standing between life and death...humbling..sensitive..love conquers all !!! Thank you Crystal ! God bless !!

I used this song for mine and my dad’s first dance at my wedding. It is absolutely beautiful. He was holding back his tears. Then I listened to this song and played it for him while he was in the hospital full of cancer. I lost my dad on March 9, 2019. I will forever say this is my favourite song ever ❤

Rest in Peace dad. Gone but never forgotten. I love you till the end of time. :(

I lost my boy at the age of 22 years old on 10-Aug-13. He was hit on his motorcycle on 8-Aug-13 and passed away 2 days later from the injuries he sustained. He was the best kid a Dad could have asked for and I love him more than anything on this earth. 6 Months 1 Week and 1 Day later I lost my Dad, also a good man. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Retired after 20 years of active service. He had been exposed to Agent Orange and it set up a multitude of health issuse throughout his life. He always loved the Army and America and never spoke a bad word about the service nor the war he fought. The song means 2 things to me. It says that my Dad does not have to fight so hard anymore, that he can be at peace to go home to his Creator. That I will be ok. It also suggest that after a year of being torrn apart from the inside. I can let go of my Son. Something I don't think I am ready to do.

thank you so much Crystal Shawanda for singing this song,

After listening to this song, I knew it was time for me to say my goodbyes to my Dad who was dying of cancer.. shortly after I said my goodbyes he took his last breath with me by his side.. missing him so much...

I used to be really close to my Dad, but over the years we drifted apart. To the point where its awkward being in a room alone with him. He's pretty much a chain smoker, & cancer runs rapid in our family, & it scares me that one day I'll lose him to it. I never really tried to reconnect with him, but after hearing this, & reading these stories, it makes me want to change that. I'm deeply sorry to everyone who has lost their Fathers, or in some cases Mothers. Thank you for the push I needed.

4 months now since my father left...It was time to let go...Your little girl will be alright:-)

I was so sure this was Amanda Wilkinson when I heard this on the radio... Shocked to learn that it's not. It's a really deep song. Somebody I know is losing a loved one to cancer and I thought of this song for them today.

This is absolutely one of the song that you like to listen to but at the same time you hate to listen to because of how its brings back memories and the tears. Please stop cutting the onions.

For every 80 times i've listened to this songg i cried.... My daddy is the best man in the world and a blessing to my life and ill never leave him...

My beloved dad held on as I drove over 200 miles to be at his bedside. My eldest son and i held his hands as he passed away. A big part of my heart went with him and I will miss him always x

Such a powerful song. It brings tears to my eyes and her voice is beautiful

I lost my Dad a month and 2 weeks ago, and I had to tell him to let go now because he was wasting away and dying. That was the most difficult task I ever had to do, to tell someone you love soo much to let go! I am really struggling with the pain and grief. I am not coping!

Everytime I listen to this is breaks my heart... I lost my dad back in 2008. Had a stroke in front of me and later on that week a massive stroke. It sucks not having him here.

they played this at my grandfather's funeral and i cried my eyes out. it's been 4 years now but i know he is in a better place. R.I.P. grandpa i love you.

love you daddy, second Christmas without you, 58 years young. The lord above had bigger plans for you. Your little spot wasn't ready but one day at a time I feel I am.

I listen to this song and can't stop the tears. It reminds me of my grandpa, I never had a dad, so he was my father like figure in my life. I wish he was here to see my son who has his name. Rest in paradise grandpa John Robert Phillips love Chassity and Jaxon John

This song means more to me than anyone could ever know. I am just eighteen and six years ago two days before Christmas I had to tell my father over the phone that he had to let go of his life because he was only staying alive for me. I cried enough to bridge the gap between where I was in Kansas and his hospital bed here in Texas. I love this song because the message will always ring true. I love my father, present tense, not past. I always will love him.

There's only two people in this world who will love you no mater what you do or who you become and thats a mom and a dad. Thumbs up if you agree.

though written from a girls prospective a song i need to hear, just got off the phone moments ago to hear my dad says his goodbyes. a call that i didn't want to end, the miles apart kept me from being there but know that i care and you will always be in my heart,

im a daddys girl and every time ths song makes me cry. i love my daddy more than anything. and everytime i hear this song i always think about how its gonna kill me to lose my dad. he is my everything. i have a loving boyfriend but no one compares to my dad.

I am 44 and my dad died when I was 20. Everything I am now I owe to my dad. I would not be a nurse and not have sympathy for all those fighting cancer and fighting for their life if it was not for my dad being in the hospital for 104 days and passing away there. I have a special place in my heart for all those that ever took care of him and once in awhile I see one and they still talk about him, tells you how special he was to others also. Thank you for such a great song with such a message!

This song hits close to home for me cause I did have to watch my dad lay in a hospital bed and lose all his strength to the point he couldn't feed himself. He had multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that attacks everything. I will never get to have him walk me down the aisle or have a father daughter dance. Its been 8 1/2 years since he has passed away but I still have days where I wish I could call him and just hear his voice or have him meet his granddaughter. I know he watches over us everyday but I still miss him like crazy.

i think this song hits those of us who have already lost a father the hardest. don't ever take your fathers for granted, cherish them and tell them that you love them while you still can..

This song reminded me of my grandfather. i started to cry because i know as i get older so does he and i don't know how much longer i have left with him. This songs so beutiful and can touch anyone, even if they have lost no one or it wasn't a father.

Breaks my heart. The most beautiful and meaningful song I'll ever hear. Thank you xxx

I lost my daddy almost 7 years ago. He held on long enough after suffering for years to see me get married and have a family of my own. Just the next year I lost my husband in a horrible accident & now I have a daughter who now understands this song much to well for her age. Hold those you love and NEVER leave them without a hug and kiss. You never know when that lost moment you'll have together will be.

absolutely love this song, what an amazing singer she is.

Love your daddy for all its worth before its too late! My daddy was taken from me four years ago at 54. The last verse of this song is so true! He was the strongest man I ever knew and it was so hard to see him waste away in the hospital like he did. Cancer is a mean disease if its not caught in time! RIP DADDY!!

My Dad passed away when i was eight years old and i never will forget him R.I.P. Daddy see you soon

SO EMOTIONAL.....My daddy passed away July 3rd, 1995......I MISS and LOVE you Daddy!!

Very touchy... feeling the same as a daddy, in my bed wondering if things would be okay when I go. Listening to this in loops.

I first heard this song on that Pass it On commercial about the father dying, and it made me cry. I'm 21, and my father died a year and a half ago, and I wasn't there to say good bye. This song makes me wish I could have told my dad that it was okay for him to let go.

forever blessed my dad is still right by my side sure we fight an even go into physical abuse but I know my dad cares an he's just teaching me right from wrong I love you dad. XX this is gonna me my father daughter dance

She has such a beautiful voice and loved from the start wish I could sing like this cos the song is so amazing and a lot to Me

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father 3 years ago and it still hurts. I held his hand too. He found for a long time.

You can let go now Daddy..... I love you very much thank you for being a wonderful Dad and Grandad xxxxx

This is one of my newest favorite country song! Beautiful!

My moms friend has been off life support for 11 hours now and i know she's holding on for her boys. Its so sad because i can't imagine the pain her boys are going through right now. Wake up Marti don't let go just yet

I haven't lost him yet but since my mom has been back and forth to Afghanistan since I was 18 (23 now) I can't imagine the world with out. But this ones for my cousins husband passed away this year! RIP David we'll see you around.

today is my father's birthday.."you can let go now papa" this is what we said to him while he was in the intensive care unit...he died peacefully while on dialysis. We missed you papa. We love you

This will be for my dad when he does pass away. I can't hold back the tears sometimes because my dad and I are so close so to envision him on his death bed one day will be very hard on me. I love you dad always.

This song makes me cherish my dad so much more. I wish we had a better relationship. I wish I could tell him I love him, but it's akward between us. I wish he was more emotional. Anyways I love him

I just heard this for the first time, my 15 yr old daughter told me to listen to it...I have tears in my eyes, what a powerful song...I could actually see my little girl with her daddy ( my ex hubby) I have never wanted to hug my little girl so much as I do right now...

My Grandfather died yesterday. My dad left when I was little and my grandfather has been like a father to me. As hard as it is I understand that he held on as long as he did for me and my family and he didn't let go until he couldn't keep going on. His primary concern has always been all of us and making sure that we were ok. Now its our turn. Its going to be hard to live without him but he knows that we are all ready to live without him and we will be ok even though we miss him.

Today;January 25th 2017,is one year since my dad died..😔 Love you daddy ❤

I still cry when I hear this song.

It has been 13 years today that my dad passed away..I was 8 years old then & I am now 21...I miss him very much & it kills me to see other girls or kids w/ their dads, but I know mine will always be w/ me in spirit..RIP 9/15/47-5/4/99

its been 7 years today I miss you so much.....its not getting any easier but thank you for watching out for me and guiding me through my darkest time.....i love you daddy!

I miss my dad :(

Beautiful song, beautiful message, keep on singing!

😢😢🌹i miss you daddy. Everyday😔😢I thought I would have another 20 years with you. See you in heaven 😔

I am dedicating this song to both of the men in my life. John, my dad, and Robert, my step-dad. Both still live, but I feel this song is the perfect for them both. I love you both with all of my heart. And your little girl is ready to do this on her own... But I will call if I need anything and just to let you know I am okay.

ok my mom and dad got devorsted and i only got to see my dad like when i 4 and now im 12 he has two sons and he loves them more than me and i was his first kid so when i hear this song i cry really hard i still love u daddy hope u come home soon

I'm 13 years old going to be 14 my dad pasted away May 14 7:45p.m. I saw him pass R.I.P daddy I love you with all my heart and from this day I still wish you here.... miss you and love you lots and I'll see you some day again

Telling my daddy its ok to let go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do... I was 21 when my daddy left me it has been almost 8yrs since that day and its still fresh in my mind. This song hits home truly for me.

Well, when I first heard this amazing song I was a father of two sons. But now when I'm going to be a father of a daughter ... I cried. Me and my wife we've been wating for oure daughter for a long time. I will let go my Angel when she let me know((("

Reading the comments was not a good idea. Nope. Not.At.All.

THis SoNG giVeS ME GoOSebuMps¿?¡!¿

I also lost my daddy 2 weeks ago, on 05/19 =( . You will never be ready for a loss like that one, it will always be too soon. That´s what kept saying the day he died "it´s too soon" but then, I realized it will always be too soon to let go the first love of your life

Iam a man, 23 years old. I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my dad January 4 of this year. He went into the hospital early christmas day. I guess this song just go to show you than a Real man crys when he losing someone important in his life.

As I am losing my Daddy, right now, this is more precious and meaningful than anything I have ever heard. Ever. I will miss my Daddy more than I could ever express in words. My heart knows though.

this played at my uncle bobs funeral i was strong for my family until this beautiful song played and i lost it like this if you believe this is a wonderful and song full of truth

I want to know how she was able not to cry while singing this song, I cry every time I hear it.

I will have my wedding this coming Dec 28, 2022. This song really gives me a goosebump. I can`t stop my tears when I listened to this song, imagining when I will dance my father soon on my wedding I will surely hug him tight and lean on and cry. My dad is the best, and so hard to say to let go because dad is close to me and where like bestfriends. The lyrics are perfect for father and daughter close to each other suddenly need to separate, I will now married soon to my 14 yrs live in partner. ⛪

My little girl Kathryn Joyce. died at 10 days old, I cant let go even after 7 years. this song reminds me of what im missing out on. She is my Angel.

I lost my father for years ago, he was my lonely friend, now I am alone in this crul world, I miss him so much, I used to listen to this song when I need him beside me every time.

This song reminds me more of my pepaw than my dad. He hung on until he was sure that it was ok for him to go home. He will forever be in my heart. 11-19-10

I sang this to my grandfather when he was on his death bed and I told him that he was more a dad to me then my own dad was. We hugged very tight and his grip was loosening. I knew that was it so I got off him and said I will miss you dad. I’ll keep thinking of you. I made a promise to him that when I think of him, I will only remember the good times we had. Love you, dad. Feb 5/1945-June 21st/2010. ❤️🦅❤️

my dad passed away just before my 16th birthday it has been 4 years now and i cry every time i listen to this song. I miss him so much.

everytime i hear this i cry. makes me think of my father!! i wish he was still here with me but i know he is in a better place and watching over me! i love you dad. you may not be here but you will always be my daddy..

I lost my dad..until now its so painful there's no days and nights I didn't cry and everything I remember you love papang

Played this song at my Dads funeral 7 yrs ago, im the baby of the family, was a daddies girl i can relate to all of this song.

Dad just passed away this morning March 11, 2022. I don't want to let go dad but I know there's no more pain in the arms of our creator you've suffered too much. I miss you terribly pang. I want to hug you so tight. I love you forever papang. Martinez Gandam Watan. I'll try to go back home. But I don't like the thought of coming home from Japan to Philippines without seeing you waiting for us sitting outside the house. Papang it's so hard and difficult to accept.

R.I.P. Daddy. You'll never get to walk me down the aisle or watch me grow, but I'll see you again someday all grown up

how I miss my daddy. I wish I was able to hug him before he died of COVID 19. I miss you so much Daddy!

It was killin' me to see The strongest man I ever knew Wastin' away to nothin' In that hospital room,.... 3 months ago when you Rest in Peace dad ,..

My father died when i was only 13 years old and this makes me sad to remember what i could have had but grateful for a future.

I remember when my uncle died... he would do anything for me... I miss him so much... so hard t listen to this song, but it's so good... I'm so scared for when my Great Grandpa and Grandma died... they where like my parents...

Happy heavenly birthday daddy ❤💙

Tomorrow will be 17 years since my father passed. I am now 21 and I still cant let him go. I know he is around me in spirit and I enjoy his presence. Normally im very emotional around this time of the year but this year I know he is giving me the strength to continue on. I love you very much daddy and i will ALWAYS be your little girl...rest in peace daddy
