Music like this doesn't MAKE you cry, it LETS you cry. You are allowed to. Hugs!!

This song still gets me. As a Step Dad of 3 with 2 Grandbabies it’s worth it. Brother I love your heart and personality as a good man. You’re are doing great on your channel.

To all the men who stepped up. Shout out. You Rock. ❤

I'm a 62 year old great grandpa, an old rough cowboy, and this song brings tears everything I hear it, nothing to be ashamed of.

This is what a real man is. The song makes me cry every time I hear it. Love you and your reactions. I know how you feel, I lost my mom when I was 24. Bless you.

Your Dad raised a wonderful man. I’m sure he is proud.🥰

Knowing you lost your Dad recently and knowing this song, I knew there would be tears and I'm crying with you. ❤‍🩹

I was 7 when I met my DAD. He took my little brother and me on his first date with our Mom. He adopted us. I’m in my 50s and he’s still my best friend. I’m grateful for what he chose to be every day.

Tears mean your human with a good heart.

Beautiful song to all the different dads in the world

Brings me to tears EVERY time. My Dad, this is my story. He didn't have to take on my Mom & 2 little girls. Lost him 4 years ago & miss him every day.

You have a beautiful soul. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

What a beautiful song! Awww Rick you got me crying with you! You have such a wonderful soul! Big cyber hugs!

When you show people your heart, you give them a gift. It was a lovely reaction. Thank you very, very much.

It's a beautiful song and makes me tear up too so sorry I made you cry again my friend. Loved seeing that elvis cup in today's reaction lol

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I will keep you and the family in my prayers. I like that you're not afraid to be vulnerable and show that softer side of yourself.

Music is what helped me the most when I lost both my parents in 2006 11 months apart from each other. ( I was 16 when my dad died and 17 when my mom died) I’m glad you have so much support and I love this channel! Also this is a phenomenal song I’ve known it since I was a kid my mom loved it

Good songs make you feel. Great songs make you feel, deep. Thank you for this review, sir. And thank you to all father figures who’ve stepped in and owned the role! Love to all.

Yes Sir, this has always been my favorite Brad Paisley song. Appreciate you keeping it real.

Much love to your family and condolences on the loss of your father.

5:18 I have heard this song hundreds of times and I cry every time. My dad has 4 step kids from 2 different women and a dozen grandchildren. I appreciate him because he’s my dad but I know how much they appreciate him more. ❤

I lost my Dad in 2021. He was everything to me and I miss him every day! I wish I could say it gets easier . Grief catches you at odd times like a punch to the gut. My Dad loved music especially the old country singers and he would change the words around sometimes. There is no time limit on grieving!

Raised by a “didn’t have to be” myself. We lost him in 2011 after fighting heart disease for 16 years. I always tell people that my daddy’s in heaven and my dad is in norther Texas. I love my dad, I do. But, it wasn’t his lap I would crawl into when I was hurt or sick. My daddy could always be counted upon. Love and miss you, daddy. Sending love, light snd heart mending hugs. Great reaction. No matter what situations you’re facing, you can always count on country music to help you through. Again, km so sorry for your loss. I know the pain you’re feeling.

My heart goes out to you Honey, for the loss of your Daddy. Your tender heart is so special & your kind heart lifts all of us up. God bless you.

I just came across your channel and I’m so glad to be here. You, your loved ones and your Dad are in my prayers. My Dad died when I was 19. Check out ‘when I get where I’m going’ by Brad Paisley and know your Dad is always by your side. Only his body stopped. Keep talking to him and he will still guide you through your life. Wishing you peace.

Sorry for your lost. I lost my son when he was just 22 yrs old. And now I've lost my best friend my dog my heart. He helped me through some hard times when I thought I couldn't make it anymore. Love is love and it has to be a blessing in whatever form it takes. You are young so just be the man he would be proud of. Take care of yourself and it will be alright.

Never be ashamed to cry, it helps your soul. God bless you

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I was 12 when my dad died. This song is really true for me as my daddy really didn't have to be. I was 5 when he became my daddy. Please remember to cry when you need to. I held it inside for so long and I think I would have coped better if I had cried.

So many young man won't give country music a chance. I'm glad you're the type of young man who says "I'll make up my own mind, thank you!. I don't know how many country songs you've listened too so far. But I hope you'll give the genre a fair chance. Country singers are story tellers. If you want more suggestions, just let us know!

Brother, you have such a beautiful soul. Much love from this old guy crying with you! Subscribed!

I love this song and cry every time I hear it, I'm with you, I lost my mom at 17 and my dad at 29, it's hard, god bless you and prayers to you for your loss, stay positive

I am always thankful my Mom found my Dad when I was 5. He is never a step-dad, he is MY DAD. I was blessed.

Bless your heart sweetie, I wanted to reach through the screen and hug you😭. You have the sweetest souls of all the reactors I have watched, I pray for nothing but happiness and success for you 🙂

I lost my dad when I was 16. Losing someone that close to you at such a young age never really gets easier but you eventually learn to deal with it better. I’m 47 now and I still miss him every day. All the milestones in my life that would have made him proud, mad, the array of emotions that I wish he could have been a part of. On the other hand, I just remember that he’s in a much better place. I wouldn’t bring him back into this world the way it is now for anything. Awesome reaction bro

This song sure tugs at my heartstrings. Beautiful

Damn. You made me cry, too. That's a great song. ❤

Great reaction, so sorry about the loss of your Dad. This song always makes me cry. It is sooo true. ✌❤🎶

My first time hearing this one too. Tears........ im so sorry for your loss too. Bless the hearts and souls of fathers who choose their kids over themselves every day.

Cathy continues to be amazing 👏...we appreciate you Cathy.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Just listened to today on Father’s Day, and this song goes straight to the heart. Being someone who lost his father at a young age I can relate, so hang in there Pardner cuz your dad is always with you no matter what.

Every time I hear this song I tear up too. My daughter (step-daughter but there is no step in my family) told me once -- "Your not my step-dad -- Your my dad who stepped up." This song hits home for me.

This was a nice and beautiful answered Prayer from a child now an adult an have his own family. He appreeciates so much this father figure man that became his dad. God bless his soul. Bless yous all.

Loved it I was crying right along with you Thanks Kathy for this song.

Tears straight from your heart full of love are a blessing. Never apologize my friend. 💞🤙💪💓

Bless you Brother. You have a Golden Heart. Remember your Father and take with you all the good he taught you.

My stepdad died sunday and this was my song to him and I will play it at his funeral Thursday. Much love brother

So sorry about your dad buddy. Much love and respect from South Florida. I am a step daddy but she has ALWAYS been my little girl. I've been there since she was a baby.

You show your emotions and that is wonderful. The song is a gut wrenching tear jerker! You did good! Until next time much love.💖💖

My dad was one that "didn't have to be" but he loved me like a dad loves a daughter. I lost him and my mom 4 weeks apart in September and November of 2021. My husband is an amazing dad and I'll forever be grateful to my dad for showing and teaching me how a father should be.

Brad can make you laugh and cry. Great artist.

This song does get to you.....don't ever lose that tender spirit my friend.

Sweetie, I feel you! Lost my dad at 23 myself. That was 1974 and I still miss him. I hear someone that whistles very well and I think of him. Little things will continue to remind you of him. Cherish those memories! Love to you ❤

So sorry about your Dad. I lost mine 30 years, it still hurts. Sending you love...

This song always makes me cry! I have a father that has loved me with every fiber of his being my whole life. In my late 30s I married a wonderful woman who had two kids that were teenagers. When we started dating my stepdaughter was 16 and my stepson was 18. I hope that they know that although I am not their dad that I love like I am their dad. I claim them as mine.

Music is the connection to the soul.

I'll never forget the first time I heard this on the radio. I had to pull off the road because I cried so hard. I had to go see my dad and have him here it. He met my mom when I was 4 and they married when I was 6. I still cry over this song. My dad has been gone for 12 years and my mom 2 years. The both died a few days before their wedding anniversary.

God bless your heart young man love your spirit I cried with you also.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I was 18 when I lost my father. I am now 68 and still miss him every day, Thanks for your reaction to this one.

You have such a heart, and it is obvious how much love and miss your dad!! Praying for you!!

I lost my Dad in 1991. I am 74 now and still miss him! I know he is in a better place with my Mom. 🙏 The hurt lingers but softens over the years to bearable. Bless you. My prayers are with you to lift you and give you solace and peace.

Brother, you letting it all hang out like that........Real Man right there. God Bless you bro.

thanks bro for a honestly true emotional reaction. Keep doing what you are doing.Shout out to EVERY father out there. Stand tall stand proud.

You had a Beautiful and Heartfelt reaction. Thankyou

I just ran across this. You were blessed to have him and were raised right, Rickk. I also lost my dad many years ago, when I was 29. He was only 58. All we can do is carry on. You're a good man with a great heart. This song tears me up bad because very long ago, I met a 'once in a lifetime' girl who had 2 very young boys. I was that 'dad' to them for a couple of years and they loved me as much as I loved them, and the fact that we weren't 'blood' father/sons didn't matter. She and I broke up, followed by 1000 miles distance between us for over 10 years. Long story short, we rekindled our love/relationship 10 years later (she called me), when the boys were 14 and 15 years old, but that great distance caused us to split again. I never was able to handle the loss of the boys in my life, even now. I lost everything (and I do mean 'everything') over the years after that, simply because they were the only thing that were on my mind and only thing that had mattered. I'm old now, and know I don't have many years left. I'm trying to work up the courage to contact the boys and am not sure if that would even be wise or helpful to them, as they are now in their 40's. But that bond of love is forever and I'm pretty sure they 'still' share that with me.

Great reaction video brother. 1st clip of yours I’ve seen. I love true raw emotion. God bless!

So sorry to hear about your daddy. I know you were thinking of him during this video--I was thinking of my own daddy and crying right along with you. HUGE hugs!

I'm a huge Brad fan and now an instant fan of you. What a huge tribute of love for your Dad&the reminders of what truly matters in this world. Sending love&peace!

Brother, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. That's rough. It's never easy losing a parent, but to lose one when you're so young is a tragedy. All I can say is, I'm VERY confident he is now in a much, much better place patiently waiting to see you again. I lost both my parents about 10 years ago, just two weeks apart, They lived to a ripe old age, but it's still never easy, at all. Much love and I will pray for your comfort and peace.

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss of your Dad ❤❤❤

❤ What a precious reaction ..

Lost my dad and best friend at 16, 22 years ago, the truest words i ever got is that your pain is in an empty room controlled by a button, and there is a large ball bouncing, constantly hitting that button, making you feel pain. As time goes on, that bouncing ball gets smaller, you find peace, but occasionally that ball strikes that button and the pain is just as strong (normally around holidays or special events), then 22 years pass and the ball is tiny now, ive lived on this earth longer without him than with him, through time even the hardest time (holidays, birthday, day he died) goes by and the button is no longer struck, until videos like this, seeing your pain brings me back. All i can say is it will get easier brother and with 2 boys of my own, its my turn to be that man, pass down to my boys what he taught me, learn and pass down what he couldnt.

Hearing what you were saying about life and how you got to keep going. Wise for a young man, you are correct. Losing a parent ain't easy no matter how old you are. I was blessed to have mine until I turned 60. Your words remind me of Cody Johnson's Til You Can't song. A good one if you haven't done it already.

So sorry for your loss of your dad 🙏❤️ you are a beautiful soul! You are so kind and compassionate I enjoy watching your channel

You know it's a great song when you start trying to sing along before you even know the words! This was great my dude, keep it up there are some great country songs out there. ❤

I just stumbled across one of your videos, think it was a Brooks & Dunne song, and I was so impressed by you. I had windered how you would react to this song. So many of us are touched by it, and here you are, with your heart out in the open, crying with us. Isn't it something how, where it matters, we all have the same loving soul? ❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you for this one.

True ....life is precious...i just lost my dad on monday....been hard..much love to you...

Brad always makes me cry at this song. Because it's so true. But that man loved the mom & her son ❤️.

I've always loved this song. My grandfather, adoptive dad, and stepdad have more than made up for the lack of biological father I never met... They were some of the greatest gifts of my life and I will be forever grateful for them. I was incredibly lucky and I can't wait to celebrate with the one who is still alive tomorrow. Family is about love and choice, not blood.

It’s a beautiful song country music will show your true heart and you got a beautiful one. God bless you

God bless you 🙏. Brad is good for sure 🇺🇸

This song hits me so hard. My daddy married my momma when I was 1 and he filled that role way better than I could have ever dreamed. My parents are divorced now but at 32 I am still the biggest daddy’s girl. He’s the best dad and grandpa in the world.

Oh my heart just goes out to you! Such a sweet song to hear, but hits even harder after your dad passed. I just want to give you a hug ❤

Takes a real man to show his feelings and fight for them, great response!

No other genre of music can make you feel the way that country can. This is one of my go-to crying songs. I love it.

I feel you, my dad passed away when I was 24 not suddenly, but because of a rare type of leukemia, that eventually caused a heart attack, watching the man that you looked up to for so many years, the strength in your life, the one who gave you everything to make sure you had what he didn’t have become frail and weak and pass away is difficult also you must be supporting the family during this tough time and keeping everybody tight whilst not breaking down so far that it’s too difficult to pull yourself back up… every day trying to do right by them and live your life the way they taught you becomes the most important thing, it’s been 19 years for me though the pain fades nothing I can tell you will make your process easier you see what I don’t see, see it within you to make yourself the best reflection of that person moving forward to do them proud!…. I lost my mom, June 11, 2021 and that still hits hard Bless you and bless your heart with the strength to pull through and be the best reflection you can be see them in yourself every morning when you wake up and remember everything when you go to sleep they are the parts of you and you are who you are because of them, be well… 😭🙏

So sorry for your loss ... let the tears flow ... there is a saying that I always say .... Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal .... but love leaves a memory that no one can steal. Take care.

Just because you shed tears does not mean you don't have it together, from what I see you have everything together God bless you❤

I’m so sorry for your loss, fam. Watching you cry is making me cry. Such a touching song. I have a few friends that are step dads and they’re killing it every day. It takes a big heart full of love to love a stepson as your own and raise him as your own kin. Thank you for making this video. I wasn’t planning on crying today, but here we are. No shame in that game. Hold on to the love that your dad gave you. Take care and God bless.

Love Brad Paisley, grew up on country, rock, rap, blues, all genres. This brings me back and it’s personal to me

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and yours.

Brad is an excellent song writer. I got to meet him at a concert and a friend and I got to backstage and see all his beautiful custom made guitars.

My man, much respect. This is one of those songs and I love how genuine your reaction is

I'm so sorry for your loss and at such a young age. His spirit is all around you.

Beautiful reaction. ♥♥ To a timeless song about not just dads but the dads that didn't have to be dads and stayed.

I just stumbled on to your channel & your great. I met the man I called daddy when I was 3yrs old. I was blessed to have him for 30yrs before cancer took him at the young age of 56yrs old.

I just started watching reactions and you my fam have become the gold standard of reactions. Love you as a brother you have become family. Keep doing what you do. Your father would be proud of the man you have become.

One of my favorites by Brad

Okkay Rickk, your a beautiful and honest soul. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to some deep songs of the past. Much success to you.

nothing wrong wrong with tears bro just shows what he meant to you stay strong. sorry for your loss.
