Lost my wife to lung & brain cancer last week. I remember when we saw the first CT scans. All I could think of was this song. She passed away in my arms, at home with our 3 dogs by our side. For the past 11 months during her battle all I could think of was this song. She lived an exemplary life, fought bravely, with courage & grace. Now I must follow her wishes & the message from this song. As should we all. Blessings.

I lost my husband to brain cancer in 2007. I had never heard this song then. Less than a year after his death our son and I attended a Tim McGraw concert with a large group of friends. My son and I were standing near each other. As the first chorus was sung we moved closer together and were touching each other. Moments later we turned to each other and embraced and sobbed into each other's shoulders. We stayed like that until we took a deep breath and broke apart and just looked at each other. There was no need for words- we had already lived it and felt it and understood each other. I still go to this song when I need reminding of the love the three of us shared and the adventures we had together and the incredible legacy my husband left behind for his son. And we both know that tomorrow isn't promised so live your best life today.

Stage 3 b lung cancer. Removed my right lung, 36 chemo, 34 radiation. That was 6 years ago. And while I never went sky diving or rode a bull, I did get married to the woman of my dreams. Here's to living your life to the fullest. This song nails it perfectly.

I have forgiven all of the people that I thought I would teach a lesson to by not speaking to them. I learned the lesson of lonliness and how quickly time passes. I plan to start living like I were dying.......... Thank you for this great song. The lyrics will change my life.

Can only echo that. Had a rat pack of half a dozen guys in high school and we've had reunions annually most years since, now nearing age 80. That last horizon has crept a lot closer. So just for old times' sake, I had T-shirts printed for us showing an image of a rodeo rider on a bull and the caption, well, you know what it says..... You can never be sure about celebrities' public persona, and I realize Tim McGraw didn't write this song, but he sure projects the kind of man that both men and women can admire.

So sorry for the loss of your brother. My dad passed away in 2019 from lung cancer but he was 78 YO. He smoked the majority of his years so I hate to hear it when someone so young, and with so many years yet ahead of them, passes away. May the dear memories, that no one can take from you, keep him alive in your mind and heart. So glad he had the opportunity to go skydiving! That must’ve been an awesome experience!

I lost B in '15 to his own hand. He was, and still is, my best friend. Lost his mom to the C and couldn't go on. Man was a rockstar walking, 2nd from his holler to graduate college, crushing it in software engineering & seemed to have it all made. He always asked to go to the gym and then hike. I went often, but wish I had gone more. He lived life for the stories, and I do the same in his honor. You're never allowed to quit.

Love deeper, speak sweeter, give forgiveness, give 100%, show respect, realize what is truly important in this world - not stuff, not money, not what you don't have. Focus on what you do have & strive for perfection on the important things: family, friends, love, community. Practice it every day because one day you will wake up to find that either you or someone you love is in that position, & then it may be too late. Don't learn this the hard way. Trust me, I know.

This song brings me back to my dad. He survived 2 forms of cancer, the third got him..I was in my early 40s at the time, go figure. I spent many nights with him, so mom, could sleep. He thought he could have surgery to save him, but the doctors and our family finally got thru to him, it wasnt gonna save him. He asked me one night, if I had any questions for him, I did, but I couldnt speak them. I wish I had! Time starting running out, I was giving him liquid morphine for his pain..It was his relief and my pain now. He was delusional at times, telling me, he was sorry the colonel, wouldnt let me fly over the snake river. Dad was an Air Force mechanic..I rode Fu Manchu....for about 3 months...then I got bucked off...I miss you Dad!!
