    God bless you brother. My son was killed by a drunk driver in 2014. He was 33 years old and my only child. They are worth our grief and our tears. But remember to look to the Lord when it becomes unbearable. God will sometimes send a storm to bring light to your life. Look to Him. God bless you always.

    I'm 57, my dad died when I turned 21. I did CPR on him. Planned his funeral helping my mom who could not deal with it. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer 6 months later. I was the oldest and my youngest sibling was 12. Very difficult but follow your emotions through the pain. Joy comes again. 💜

      My grandad was in the war that year. The young men at his funeral knew who he was, respected him so much they got nervous folding the flag, had to refold it before giving it to his daughter (my aunt). I cry all the time and it's okay. You'll be okay, honey. ❤

    1996. Middle of West Texas. My father had passed a month before. I was working the oil rigs. Went home for the funeral. I was so doped out and messed up. Numb from it all. Middle of nowhere and this tune came on. Never heard it before. I had to pull over because the tears and grief overtook me. I decided then, I had to stop living like this. My father warned me about living this way.
    Now. Everytime I hear this. He is with me.
    Funny how a song can change a man's mind and heart.

    May you forever be lifted up. I'm 73. I have lost many of my family, including my son when he was just 27.
    The best words I can share with are about a tapestry.
    If you look at a tapestry from the back side it is a mess.
    But when you see the front side, you understand.
    All colors make no sense from the back of the tapestry.
    On the front side, you understand each positive and negative of events, like threads make a beautiful picture.
    We all have those moments. Sometimes, just sitting next to the one grieving is enough to give them strength. No words are needed.
    Your experience will be a strength to others. As you described his life, make that yours! You are his son, let him continue to live on through you.
    May you be blessed for being so transparent with your feelings. At this moment, you are the voice of humanity to itself.

I miss them all so much and I pray I will be reunited with them all one day. It’s hard to not cry when I think of them. They were all military connected my dad US Airforce. My mom British army, my big brother was US Army fought in Vietnam and my other brother was US Airforce in Desert Storm. God knows how much I miss them but I will see them again one day. God bless you.

    My papa(moms dad) passed in April '98. I took emergency leave from Marine Corps boot camp PISC and flew to Tampa for his funeral. He taught me a lot and I loved him so much! I've cried in my lifetime bc of physical pain I've endured but this song hit my heart so hard bc it was played at his funeral and many of my family held me. I walked up to the casket and kissed him on his forehead and said 'i love you papa'. I was pulled out of the pew and put in line with the paulbearers to carry him from the church to the herse and then to the gravesite. My was also a WWII Navy veteran who served on the battleship USS North Carolina. It's been a little over 26 years ago that we lost him but the memories are still there. I miss him still but I know when I go to be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I will see his face again!

    Let it out, never hold your pain in. He sounds like a beautiful human being. The greatest way to honor your Dad is to make him a proud Angel of God. He's with you always. You will feel his presence one day and you will know its him.
    Life is Definitely short, I lost my Mom at an early age then 3 months later I lost my only brother. My husband and I struggled to have a child. Took us 7 years, she never got to hold my first son but she did know that I was pregnant. Its been 34 years since both are gone and 8 years for my baby sister passed. It was difficult losing my mother and I still need her everyday even though I am 66. I could use her words of wisdom right now. Be the best you can be. That's what all our parents want. God knows your pain and he is right beside you just let him in. So so sorry for your loss. 😢❤🙏

    New subscriber here. My heart goes out to you & your family. I'm 65 & miss my Dad every day. We lost this amazing man Sept. 2017. It feels like yesterday. My mother mentioned having Go Rest High On That Mountain to be sung at his funeral, but we hadn't made the final decision. That day the hospice nurse stopped by our home to check on Dad and she asked if she could sing a song for us. We gathered around my father and that was the song she sung. Not a dry eye in the room. I'll never forget it or her kindness. May your father rest in peace. This is a song I found after his funeral that I find comforting. Dani & Lizzy - "Dancing in the Sky". Condolences to your family.

    This song means a lot to me. I lost a very good friend while in highschool and this song was new at the time. The parents played this song at his funeral and I collapsed. It was a song like it was written for him. And I couldn’t listen to it for almost 10years until my fathers mother died. They played it at her funeral. This song always crushes my heart, but means so much.
    One of the singers in this video is Patty Loveless. She has a song “How Can I Help you To say Goodbye”. It’s beautiful you would very much love it too.
    Also I would tell you to listen to Reba McIntyres “If I Had Only Known”. This was my mother’s song to her brother, who was her best friend. You can feel Reba’s loss in this song.

    This song is extra special to me. A great friend of mine just passed away at the age of 42. We had dated almost 20 years ago, and after one of my cousins passed away during that time, we spread my cousins ashes on top of a mountain in Durango. At that moment we were shocked as he started singing this song. He always has a great voice, but he sang this beautifully. I will never forget that special moment in my life. GOD BLESS YA'LL and I love every one of you!!!! ❤🙏🏼

I lost my mom a little over a month ago to a stroke and this song has REALLY helped me through the grieving but I still cry ALL THE TIME and I miss her like hell. Thank you for being to transparent and telling us all about your dad. ❤ God bless you.

I know if he was here he wouldn't want me depressed and hurting. It's a very difficult pain to cope with. Talking to someone who knows how u feel is a blessing.

    9/25/23 This song by Vince Gill came out at the time my 17 yr old son lost his life in a car accident. It was one he loved. All his cowboy friends played it on their pickups' radios for weeks after. This was back in 1995 and it still brings a catch to my throat.
    No one sings it with more pathos than Vince Gill.

    Vince Gill originally wrote this song about Keith Whitley, a fellow country singer who passed away suddenly due to alcohol poisoning, hence the reference in the first verse, "You were no stranger to the rain," one of Keith Whitley's biggest known songs was, "I'm No Stranger To The Rain." Then, Vince Gill's brother passed away and that's when I believe he released this song. Either way a beautiful song.

      Vince added another verse to this song that sometimes gets overlooked, here are the words:
      You're safely home in the arms of Jesus
      Eternal life my brother's found
      The day will come I know I'll see him in that sacred place on holy ground.
      Vince sung this at George Jones's funeral. He was so emotional Patty Loveless had to help him sing his part of the song. He pulled himself together and gave George a beautiful improvised send off.

    From what I understand Vince was originally writing this song to honor Keith Whitley, a country music singer that died in his 30s due to Alcohol abuse. However while writing the song he lost his brother and dedicated the song to his brother. There's a GREAT VERSION of this song in which Patty Loveless sings with him. Vince gets VERY EMOTIONAL and even has to walk away from the microphone a couple times. Patty Loveless does a GREAT job of stepping in when Vince's emotions get the best of him. Its TRULY an emotional song that often brings tears to my eyes.

      @turdsrule TO EVERYONE WHO HAS LOST LOVED ONES OR FRIENDS loosing a parent is a hard pill to swallow. I was in the hospital giving birth to my daughter. Afterwords my brother came in and asked his wife to take BreeAnna- my daughter-. That is when they told me my mother had passed I was in such a state I couldn't even breast feed. 😢 I felt like my daughter got my mother's life. You know? I was loosing a life but gaining one too. She even has my mom's initials- BJJ. HER middle my daughter's middle name is JOY because she brought me so much Joy at such a difficult time. But and someone told me when they were hugging me . If we both have and she- had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and excepted Him as our Lord and Savior- we will only be separated for a short time only a short time. Because our time on this earth now is nothing compared to being in heaven rejoicing PRAISING HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER . BEING WITH OUR SAVED FAMILY AND FRIENDS CHRIST IS COMING SOON . My prayers are with everyone who watches Rickk we are family united in love . I am on my 3rd cancer I am not afraid or mad I just know I AM ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO JESUS CHRIST. ❤️🙏May God bless u all- we are a family gathered in love wrapped in faith. My prayers 🙏🙏are for you all.we all love you Rickk we love you Peace to all❤ sending prayers ❤❤🙏🙏p.s. my mom died and Bree was born on the same day. I knew God orchestrated every moment. Don't b afraid of death- accept it when it is time . She died in her sleep. Can u imagine going to bed and then waking up with Christs' smile looking at u . Remember: ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO CHRIST ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏.

    For those who might be wondering, he really does answer his DMs. I've been blessed chatting with him on Instagram the last few days. He doesn't just send you robotic replies that feel like he's sent everyone the same message. He actually takes time to personally reply to YOU. He has really been a blessing to me personally.
    I will be anxious to see his upcoming reaction. I didn't know someone had requested this video, but I thought about this song today as I was watching some of his other videos. I knew he liked Home Free, so I had requested Home Free's version of this song before he released this video! He messaged me back and told me he had just listened to the Vince Gill version of the song.

    My Dad got sick when I was 15. He died when I was 22. In November, he will have been gone 30 years. There are times, not always, but there are still times, that this song (and one or two others) comes on the radio and I have to pull over. It DOES get better. But it never goes away. That's the mark of a life well lived. They live on through us. My recommendation would be, "Hold On to Memories" by Disturbed. The live version is very good, but the official video tells a story. Much

    A trio performed this at my Moms funeral. The word Son was replaced with child, but it perfectly described my Mom. My father had a stroke in his 30s due to alcoholism. She brought him home taught him to walk, speak, everything. The irony is she was getting ready to leave him when this happened. She cared for him along with raising her 3 children when this happened. She is and always will be a better woman than me. After 15 years I still miss her so much. May God comfort you and wrap his arms around you.
