    My father died two months ago and we just put the family home up for sale. I sat alone in that empty house I grew up in and was flooded by memories. Everywhere I looked I could play out a scene from my entire life, from my earliest childhood memory to the present. I called out one last time for my Mom and Dad, and let the sound echo through the house. Then I walked away. Life sure goes by fast.

      Felt every word of your comment. My nana purchased her house in 1967 after my gpa passed. She raised 5 kids in that home then all us grandkids great grandkids and great great grandkids. Our home was always where every one in the neighborhood gathered for fourth of July fireworks memorial day cook outs. Her door was always open to everyone noone was a strange there. She passed in 2013 and my aunt & mom stayed living in the house. June 2021 my aunt passed away from covid. That's when we found out the house how been left to my cousin(aunts son) but he owns house next door so offered my mom to stay there and take over payments. She agreed. Today we got hit with the news my cousin is selling the house in fact Monday they come out to appraise the house.when I say a wave of emotions have taken over is a understatement. That home has always been my safe place for 37 years so many memories and it's hitting me hard.
      I am sorry for your loss.

    I am a black man who grew up in the city who drives a Tesla. All of the things that would indicate not being drawn to a country song. But when Spotify played this I literally pulled over in heavy traffic to learn more about this song and who sang it. Truly one of the most wholesome and genuine songs I've heard this year. You can see everything she said, What a masterpiece.

    The morning I went off to college for the first time, before anybody else got up, i climbed on the roof of our house and soaked it in, knowing that I might not ever live there again, and that everything would never be the same. I was ready to move on to my own life, but just for a moment I was very sad. That was 45 years ago. I am so glad I took the time to do that, and remember it very fondly.

      We always miss the ones that left us, but don't forget to make your family of those that care for you here. Don't listen to the ones that say they love you, listen to the ones that show you they love you.... the ones that are kind and work hard to help you. Do something kind for others each day, without expecting anything back. Like a way of honoring your dad. I hope you are safe and have someone to give you a hug when you need it.

      I lost my dad when I was 9, I'm many many years past that terrible night, but every day I asked God "Why...why couldn't you send someone to help my dad??"
      23 years to the day, to the hour I found the answer.
      It came 20 minutes till midnight, 20 minutes to the end of my shift.
      I pulled into the back of the station house thinking that I would get my days activities recorded so I could leave on time. But as I sat there a thought came to me
      "Drive to Coldwater Park "
      I argue with myself, " It's late, been a long shift, I'm tired, it's not my beat...." Yet the suggestion became stronger, looking over I saw the Beat car parked already.
      I gave in and put my unit in gear, heading to a dark secluded place known for trouble at night.
      As I started into the park I noticed a truck with a camper shell on it backed off the road. Nobody takes the time to back off the road unless they are trying to hide the license plate.
      I lite it up with my spotlight, looking for broken glass, a sign it was stolen, none from this side,
      I'll drive past it before getting out of my unit.
      As I drove past the Hair stood up on my neck, I felt things were not right. Reaching the Cul-de-sac I cut my wheels to the right, as I did my headlights fell upon a man over 6' standing in knee-high grass just a dozen feet from my unit, holding what turned out to be a .357 magnum chest high, arms outstretched, there had been several police officers ambushed in the state recently and I realized I was next. " Goodbye girls, I hope you knew daddy loved you."
      Then the muzzle flash. I ducked down in my seat knowing it was too late ( at that range the bullet would've already hit me) yet I felt no pain, looking up at the windshield I saw no hole or shattered glass.
      He couldn't have missed, I was too close. I looked up over the dash in time to see him Drop into the tall grass.
      I put out a "shots fired" call , flipped on all my emergency lights
      to cover my moves, and jumped out into the darkness.
      As I moved around searching for the shooter, I spotted him laying down amongst the grass, moving in closer I could see he was clutching his chest with both hands, blood pumping up through his fingers, moaning and rocking back and forth, the revolver laying next to him.
      I put a call to dispatch " I need Fire Units, man down, gunshot to the chest"
      I rushed him, kicking the gun away from him.
      As i attempted to check on his wounds he angrily told me to leave him alone, to let him. die.
      I stopped and started to talk with him to gauge his state of mind.
      He told me he had degenerative disc disease and the doctors would not give him anything strong enough to lessen the pain.
      He reached into his back pocket pulling out his Truckers billfold, with blood flowing down his arm he handed me his wallet, saying
      "My address is in there, that old Chevy truck over there is mine.
      Tell my wife i love her, that she was the last thing on my mind."
      " You tell her yourself, we re going to take care of you fella.."
      With that, he stopped resisting and calmed down.
      Just as he did fellow officers arrived along with our Fire / EMS unit.
      I stepped back turning his care over to more capable hands.
      I sent an officer to his listed residence where the officer later told me, when his wife saw him at the door, she opened it and said " He finally did it...."
      It was now just past midnight as i started filling out my report.
      10 minutes later i watched as the Fire crew struggled to carry him up the bank to the waiting air ambulance.
      As i was watching a voice inside said to me. " This is why I had you come here, i have a plan for his life.."
      I spoke with the man at the hospital a few days later, he was so thankful that i was there that night.
      A week later as i was dressing for my next shift the memories came flooding back to me, so clear ,as if it was yesterday..
      My dad had been real sick and had gotten to the point he could no longer see living anymore. I had been praying for him to get better.
      The next day I was taken out of school by our pastor and taken home where my sister and I were told our dad was dead.
      That evening as I sat watching TV the story If my dad's death came on. It started by showing my dad's body, then switch to a Deputy who was sad as he talked, telling the reporter that he had gotten this urge to drive to this location because something was wrong.
      "Why didn't you go"? She asked.
      " It was late, almost midnight and I was tired...."
      After 23 years, I understood. God didn't' abandon me or my dad.
      He spoke to an officer who failed to act and a man died. 23 years later He spoke to another officer who did respond and a man lived.
      Pay attention to that feeling, it might be important.

    This is one of the first songs I heard on the radio after my dad passed away in 2018. When I found out Miranda was going to be at WeFest, I knew I had to go!! So, for a whole year, I waited for the three day outdoor music festival. All I wanted to hear was this song live and in person. It was finally what I dubbed Miranda Day!! I was so excited I could barely stand it. The closer it got to her performance, the darker the sky got. By the time she was to start it was storming. They delayed it for a bit but ended up having to cancel her performance. I was DEVASTATED!! I sat in our truck and cried and cried. My poor husband didn’t know what to do. I still hope to hear it live and in person someday

      Not just rural folks. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and a friend from high school used this song as background music to a photo montage inspired by him helping his folks move out of the house they bought when he was six. One listen and I was a sobbing mess.

    Every time I hear this song it gets me. This reminds me of every memory I had growing up. I think of my Grandpa who I lost in 2006, then Baba in 2017 and Grandma in 2018. When each of them passed, I cried like a little kid. There was something comforting about being able to talk to them and see them no matter what was going on in my life and then one day, I couldn't. It's funny, you think everyone is going to live forever but when you grow up and reach middle age; you see how fast the weeks, months and years go by as you start to face mortality. Eventually, you are just left with memories of what was.

    This is so true of my life. It was years later when I realized why we moved from a newer 4 bedroom house to an “ old farm house” with 2 bedrooms with an unfinished attic that they threw up paneling on for us girls to have as our bedroom.
    Years later my sister and I knocked on the door to see if we could see it once more. The memories were unreal.
    Mom also passed away while we lived at that old farm house. I was 13 at the time.

    Before she died my Grandmother moved back into that house. And after Grandmother died our family moved there. This is where our dog, Ricky, was buried in the yard after he was hit by a passing car he'd chased. The 'little' back room (on the left - no bigger than a nursery!) was mine. Yes.

    My mom passed away three years ago at the age of 96. In her will she stated her surviving children should sell the property and distribute the proceeds. I recently went by the property, the house we grew up in was demolished and a new one built in it's place. It breaks my heart to see the family home gone, all the memories of me and my ten brothers and sisters, and all the neighborhood kids. There was a lot of love in that old house, and now it's gone. Couldn't help but think of this song.

    The house that built me, makes me cry because it hits the heart for me. We do have our dogs buried in the backyard near the tallest tree. In that house I grew up in I learned a great deal of things including loss of death. Kelly the Irish setter .
    I was the only child so I didn't really have friends animals were my friends.
    A home is a wonderful place has a wonderful meaning. You don't realize how much one place can mean so much until you move away. Sale it. You can always make new memories but nothing can replace the memories that you laid down for years, growing up.

      Nickelback's song 'Photograph' is from the perspective of a guy who visits his hometown after being away for years, & starts reminiscing about growing up there.

    This song makes me miss my grandma. There is
    not a day goes by that I do not think of her. She was everything to me. I still can't work up the courage to visit her old house even though it'll be 5 years this October. Her thought alone chokes me up. She was such a big person in my life and I took the time I had with her for granted towards the end. If you grandparents are still alive, go spend time with them. Life goes by so fast, and if you do not stop and take the time to visit them, you will eventually only have a grave left to visit. I would trade the world to sit in my Grandma's kitchen and eat with her one last time. Until recently, this song just reminded me of my Grandma, however, my favorite childhood dog was put down in May and now the verse "my favorite dog is buried in the yard" makes my eyes burn with tears. Last time I visited home, I sat by his grave and cried - I haven't felt loss like that since I lost my grandma.

    I'm 73 and this song is so much a part of me. My childhood was spent in the old 2 that looks story house that looks like the on in Mirandas video,was built by my (great) grandparents way back in 1899 (i was told) and it was my sanctuary from all the harshness of those early years. Surrounded by huge pecan trees and cedars and a monster Poplar tree, it was cool in the summer and they bore fruit in the fall. Many pets are buried in the back yard and after 35 years of traveling and military service we returned to the area and built our new house next door to the old one. It was abandoned for many years and Termites literally ate it to dust. I still stand on the front porch and remember the days when i sat in that big swing and remember my childhood with dad, mom and my sister and my gra'mammy. Good times.

    I cry because I've never had that sense of home. My mother was all I had and we never stayed in one place for very long but She's gone now... I went back to the house I was born in attempt to reconnect with my father and his family but that just made me want to run even further and I haven't stopped since. It's not about the house, it's that sense of home, the most heartfelt line is "Out here it's like I'm someone else, I thought that maybe I could find myself, I thought if I could touch this place or feel it, this brokenness inside me might start healing" But it never will... you just slowly learn to live with it... with an occasional breakdown every now and then. LOL

    At the age of 19 my parents got divorced. They sold the house I grew up in my whole life and every time I hear this song just breaks me down. And I'm a guy who doesn't get too emotional (cold hearted I've been called lol). But this song... My parents house was a real fixer upper. My dad bought it just a few days before the city demolished it. But he fixed it all up to my moms taste. It was a cookie cutter type of house. I guess that's what makes even more special. Some of my best memories were spent in that house...

Dog buried under the old oak tree in our backyard, learned to play guitar, homework, literally have my handprints on the front porch age 5 with my name. Mom's better homes and garden's dream renovations, brokenness. Dad still lives there in his 80s. Tears flow knowing our lifetime home will be just a memory one day when he's gone.

Where I live now, I have a bedroom that feels like the safe place I never had back then. I would give anything to go back to that house and have it look the same as it did when I lived there.
