I miss my mommy =( wish she would have stuck around!!!!!!! ='( 16 years old and only have seen her like 10 times in my whole life. She left my dad when I was like 11 months old.
i kno how it is for a young child to go through not havin one of your parents their for u..my dad left when i was 3 n my sis was 1 and i have only seen him 2 times in the 21 yrs of my life...its hard when ur in school and you have daddy daughter dances or u want ur dad to help u with somethin or ask a question..i dont understand why people that have children choose other things over their own flesh n blood?...
I was forced to surrender my rights yesterday. I have 2 children. I've fought both of their fathers x 4 years. They finally won. I was diagnosed with spinal cancer 2 years ago. It's sad that our judicial system considers a mom to be one that is healthy and with a job. I wished there was someone out there that could do something. I pray my son understands, and that he comes back when he can. He's only 9 1/2. Mommy Loves You Ethan! I'll always carry you as I once did, directly under my heart...
@mnmotes79 It's okay, I kind of understand how you feel. My father abandoned me, I am 13, My mom hardly can take care of me and my sisters. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder/ Manic Depression. I am usually really depressed. I am brutally picked on in school, and my mom can't do anything, and my father wasn't there through any of it. He picked drugs and jail over his seven daughters. (Me, and six others, all with different moms, i have two other sisters by my mom, but by different dads)
to wendy I'm sure your dad would like to make contact sometimes its hard as a child to understand the emotion that parents go thru on seperation whether it involved alot of violence or was mutual the emotional turmoil parents go thru is not seen by a child as we do try to hide what we feel infront of children as they generally see someone who is strong not someone weak .I have not had contact with my daughter since 14 she will be 24 next birthday and not a day goes by I dont think of her ..
I read some touching stories on this page and to all those who have lost a child , for some unforeseen circumstance I'm sure your plees are heard your sorrow felt though your world may have crashed a world still awaits grieve as long as it takes cry when the need to cry and embrace those around you who care.....
My First wife and I split before my son was 1 year old as hard as I worked to keep it together. He lived with her until he was 19. Came to live with me in Aug and on Oct 28 he was killed by a drunk driver . My world fell apart. I will never forget the feeling of Love and Completeness I had when He moved in with me.
HI MY NAME IS WILLIAM JORDAN I LOST MY FIVE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN LAST NOV IN A HOUSE FIRE . I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO WANT TO END THE PAIN BUT I ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER BEAUTIFUL LIL GIRLS AND I HAVE TO KEEP ON TO SHOW THEM THEY R LOVED I MISS U JOEY AUSTIN SHYANNE TRENITY AND LIL BOOBOO ITS SO HARD TO GO ON I HOPE THERES A YOU TUBE IN HEAVEN SO U KNOW IM STILL LOST WITHOUT U
My ex-wife made my life such a living hell that I went into major depression. She abused me so much I was thinking of suicide, but we have two daughters. One day she told me to just die and get out of their lives. So I did. That was over 3 years ago and not a single day goes by without me thinking of our two little girls. I cry every night because I miss them so. This song is dedicated to Zoe and Lexie I do love you both so very much and I'm sorry. I hope someday you'll forgive me I LOVE YOU!
this is mine and my real dad song because is was like this for a long time i still hardly get to see him i love him so much i wish i could see him alot me but i dont get to i hope he know how much i love him. daddys girl forever
I always cry when I hear this song because my dad was never around. I'm grown now and we have a friendship, but I still wonder why he never called. (We were military and moved around a lot.) He said it just hurt a lot but that he regrets it now.
I'm divorced and have two children with my ex-husband. The most painful part is watching my children go through the same thing. Luckily my mom was amazing and never lied to me but never put my dad down. When I asked she would only say, I don't know why
I lost my 2 girls because of my ex husband I was abused and held at gun point and The child services took them from me too and this song really gets to me but i know they will be back someday mommy loves you natalie and kaydee.
yeah i know what its like not to have a father around growing up because my father didnt care all he cared about was drinking and i really dis like my father
It breaks my heart that so many dads and even grandparents have to go through this for whatever reason. No one should have to, but unfortunately we do. It is heartbreaking and at times heartwrenching, to have to see your children or grandchildren grow up in pictures. It's not the same as having them nearby. And to the parent(s), I ask you, was it really worth it?
@kacopela61 im going thru it but my ex took all the pictures and although the court ordered her to give me some she hasnt in a yr and i wont file contemt charges cuz my daughter will only think im being mean to mommy...
I love this song! It completely describes my relationship with my father. For many years he was an alcoholic and because of that he missed many big parts of my life. I met him for the first time when I was 16 years old. Now we have a decent relationship; it's still a work in progress. But he's missed so much and now all he has is pictures. I know it breaks his heart, but you can't change the past, right? Anyways, this is my and my daddy's song. And I love it.
i love this song it make me think of my little girl i havent seen my baby in 14 years and have only got to talk to her on fb and texting i have never hear my babys voice but god willing it will be soon i love you ALW
some times it hurts to lission to this viedo because it makes me think about my real dad and thats how it was growin up my dad was never around and the only way he would see me is in a picture
I love this song so much :)......I remember when I was 5 years old I came home from school and my dad played this song and looked straight at me and sung this song to me :) we haven't talked in a very long time but we just started talking again even tho we never get to see each other we still talk on the phone :) I love you daddy :)
my mom put this on her fb page a couple months ago....and its abuot me and my sisters......me and her dont talk tht much anymore nor do we get alongg.......and when saw this video i cryed and still doo...i hate to be hurting her but she hurts me 2...i guess theres things to figure out but ....if she ever reads this comment and see tht i do understand i want her to knowww thth ....i do LOVE HERR and i would love to b e in an agrreemnet again... :( <3
I love this song so much :)....I remember when I was 5 I came home from school and I just walked through the door and my dad turned on this song and looked at me and started singing this song to me :) I love you daddy :)
we have all herd the sayin you dont know what you have tell you loose it . i lost my baby girl 2 years ago and there still isn't a sec of every day i dont fight every inch of me not to just brake down and die so please everyone that reads this that has childern hold on to them every chance you get and tell them you love them couse if you dont one day you mit be in hell like i am
I've never seen a video without any thumbs down.. I still don't believe they should have that option regardless. I love all kinds of music. But it's just humbling to see a video with all good reviews.
These lyrics hit me hard. My daddy was here until I was 7. But even then, he missed the first two years of my life. My daddy was very sick. He was in a mental ward for those two years, and he tied to hurt everyone but me...but now, he can only watch me grow in pictures, because I can't see him anymore. I love you daddy...
This song is a great song. When I was born my dad was really sick... My mom laid in the hospital having me and my dad was in another have a kidney transplant. He was in the hospital a lot until i was 9. He end up passing away when I was 15. He was the best man I ever knew. He had no choice but to see me grow up in pictures. He may not have been there but he was there. When he was allowed he would always be in our life. The day we lost him my uncle made me listen to this song and
this song is my life exactly.....im 20 yeards old and my dad was never there when i was growing up.... for me or my sister.....he cares more about my younger sister then me..... my dad missed everything in my life cuz he was too busy getting drunk and getting locked up in jail :[ when i hear this song i just wanna cry cyz my dad never cared about me enough to be there for me in the important years of my life...but deep down i knows its cuz hes sick and that i have other ppl that care about me
My father has never been in my life. I'm 16 years , I haven't heard his voice in over 3 years. This song always makes me bawl, it's something that always hits me to the core of who I am. I try to hide that I don't care, but deep down inside, I want my daddy. I can't look at kids with their fathers, I have to look away, because that was never me.
i was in the military for 20 years and had to see my kids grow up in pictures through many deployments over seas and now going througha divorse and dont see my kids as often as i would like calling them just isnt always the samething this song has always brought a tear to my eye
im a father tht just has one wish tht my four year old daughter knows tht i will always be with her no matter what even if her mother hasnt let me see her in two years of her life. she is my everything and so much more and it hurts everyday tht i dont see her!!! this song is the only song tht brings me closer to her even if she isnt right beside me!!!! Redneck
I have been fighting for visitation of my 2 children for almost 13 years, so far nothing has changed, this song as heartbreaking as it is, holds a special place in my heart. I miss my children so very much, and they are always on my mind.

I just want to say this song is not just about fathers and daughters. Its for anyone out there seperated from their sons, daughters or mothers and fathers It doesn't matter if your a father or mother or son or daughter. The pain of not having your child or parent their hurts regardless. So everyone enjoy this song. I love you Mijo. .
my dad has abused me in multiple ways he has told me that he didnt want anthing to do with me how can he live wif wat he did its sad all he has is old pictures of me i dont want him to have these specialy since the cops didnt care enough to take it to court what he did to me will always hurt me but hes telling my family its a lie.the other day, my uncle yelled at me and i was so strucken by it i walked into the road stumbled fell,and nearly got hit by a car he didnt care he laughed drove away
my daughter was abducted when she was 8 mos old. I listen to this song and think of her and hope she's happy out there somewhere. The diff is I don't get to see her grow up in pictures but I have her baby pictures.
I was adopted into a not so great family and I have recently met my birth parents. My real dad is great in everyway and he was heartbroken for years over giving me away. Everytime I hear this song I think of him, the dad i never had.
I am not of apart my three kids and I can't believe how my kids fast they growing and it ain't supposed to be like this every time I look at them three I see how much I've missed they life and oh it hurts me so to watch my my kids grow up in pictures and my kids don't know who I am and my best friend is I sleep with his baby sister and I am his sister kids and I have girlfriend and I miss some much in my kids life and it my fault i am not apart my kids life and
she visit me and my girlfriend son to her kids party and my girlfriend don't know i hav e kids and nobody know i have kids with other woman and i hate i am lying to my frie nds and my familys and my girlfriend and her are friend
This song breaks my heart everytime i hear it bc its the only time I have ever seen my husband cry. He is on his 4th deployment to Afghanistan and 2nd deployment having kids! He was gone for the first 8 months of our sons life and he left when his baby girl was just 3 months old and will not return til she is 18 months old! The only time he sees them is through pictures! I take a new one everyday and i send them to him. It breaks my heart that he has to miss out on so much but hes preotecting us
You don’t have to be divorced to relate to this song. I have driven truck for the better part of my life its all I knew. Now the time has taken its toll, and when I look at my 3 girls and my son I have come to realize I never really knew them. But I know I did the best I could for them.
i grew up to this band lol but yeah i know how it is when i song means alot to someone cuz this song has a meaning for me to, my dad is like my best freind but he went to work in the states when i was a kid and all he had was a picture of me on his bedside.......
my dad wasnt around when i was little cause he had to work and he cant listen to this because its the truth to him because he missed my first steps, first words And my birthday is tomorrow and he always told me that i grow up to fast. I told my dad when i was a little kid that i couldnt wait to turn 16 because i wanted to grow up and now im not even 16 and i want to stay young. i havent told my dad that i love him since i was 9 years old. My dad and i arent normal we argue alot of the time.
This reminds me of me and someone thats like a dad to me because i wont get to see him until im 18 and im only 13! This song makes me cry because it makes me think of him and how much he must miss me because he cant even see me grow up in pictures! The only way i get to talk to him is over text and he lives in a difforent state.
my dad lives two hours away from me and my older brother and we see him pretty mush four times a year.and he can come get us whenever.our step mom doesnt like me and thats a factor in not seein him.but you know if her were a man,he'd say screw you.he has a 4 yearold with her and he is treated so much better.they gave my older brother deoderant for his 17th,they forgot my 14th.i feel for those who have able dads who just dont seem to care.your in my prayers.
When this video came out I was in the Navy in 95. My brother had me listen to it. I can relate to this song. I am the one watching my daughter growing up in pictures. Needless to say the mother sent me adoption papers. I regret siging them. She was using my daughter as a tool against me. But now she is 16. Watching this video tears me apart.
my dad and i never talked till a few weeks ago and i was told that he had one pic of me of when i was a few moths old that he held onto for alll these years til a few days b4 i got contact with him... i think its ironic that jus a few days b4 we talked for the first time ever he felt it was time to give that pic up... mind you i am 15 so tis means alot... this song is all about this... i love you daddy
this song always made me cry when i was growin up because that's exactly how my dad was.. watched me grow up in school pictures because he was a jerk who didn't want to come around much..
My father doesn't know he's a dad. I hate that I know that some where out there, there is a guy who I look like. But he doesn't that here, there is girl that must have all his traits. I hate that I have to suffer by feeling alone, and he doesn't. I wish he could feel how I do. I wish he would have walked out on me instead of never knowing, because then I would know if he would ever care at all. I'm sorry, I just can't call you Dad, I don't know you and you don't know about me.
this was so true of my father. he's been in and out of my life since i was born. i am now 18 and having a child of my own. even tho he's here now it doesn't make it any better
I myself am a child of divorce. This song came out in 1995, but unlike the guy in the song, my dad was awarded custody of me and my siblings. In all honesty, I kept thinking of my mom when I heard this song. I wondered if she was listening to this same song at the same time I was. I think this song is one of my all-time favorite songs from the mid-1990's. Thanks Randy, Teddy, Jeff and Mark for recording, and releasing this unforgettable gem!
my daddy jus chose to not see me he w to bus with his friends and since i was 1 up to 7 he has had pictures of me but now hes moved to texas and i have talked to him since i was 9 i am now 14 and very happy but there will always be somethin missin in my life and no one can ever fill the whole in my eart that my dad left me
My father has been in prison for my whole life for somthing he did not do and even thought we got to see and talk to each other it was very seldom so he was forced to watch me grow up in pictures and he's still got another 7 years by the time he gets out I'll probibly be married with children and he will have missed my whole life... It hurts ... Alot
I lost my daughter to a runaway mother for 19 years before I got to see her again. She was 21, and thought the guy the ex took off with was her father. I tried very hard to rebuild the relationship, but she refuses. And I will never get to see my new grandson. I cry every time I hear this. The pain goes on.
It is sad, I grew up in a split family. With that being said my father was in and out of my life. He chose to watch me grow up in pictures, I wish he was around growing up. I did enjoy the little time we had together.
I'm living this life now with my little girl. Got to meet her for the first time In August of 2009 she is 10 now. I cant even type this with out crying . The mother of my child dose not want me to be part of her life . I have never got to hear my little girl tell me she loved me. Every time I went to see here the was a reason why i could not so i hope no one else is going through this. Cause it hurts so damn bad. I hope she finds me soon.
@ffrebman When I read your comment I broke down. I have three kids I never gat to see. Their mother hates me because we had a very bad relationship. She has taught them that her new husband is their dad. My oldest son is eleven and I haven't seen him since he was five. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy.
@JJRage420 I feel for your pain. I hope when they age they'll learn the truth and contact you to have a new wonderful relationship with their DAD... :)
my mom was very abusive. she would get in a fight with my dad all the time and me and my sister wuld hide in the closet and wen my dad left she took it out on me. my mom has stabbed me, burned me, thrown me threw a window, anything you can imagine ive been through. my baby sister has autism and my mom beats her for it. my mom has lost all of us. but thnx 2 her i have post traumatic stress disorder and i have epilepsy. i flatlined on july 7th for 7 minutes because of it and its all her fault.
I have had the luck seeing and being with my little girl except the last year an half I dont see her much but I watch her grow up evry time I see her i hope some day she will understand the reasons why i have been missing her so much. jocie if you ever see this I love you. you are always on my mind. not a day gose by where i dont think about you.I wish your mother and i could have worked things out but it was not in the cards.always remember no matter what I will aways love you.
@Gohstchan I know what you mean I hope my little girl comes and finds me Im going through the same thing with her mom she just wants the money lives off the state and has not held a job in 10 years. Glad things worked out for you!!!!
i was put up for adoption from my father when i was 6 and went another 9 years without seeing him just last year i found him and now we're close again
thanks for putting this song out there. i was a daddys girl and now that my dad is gone it just helps me remember good things. i really like the video also.
i had my birth mom tell me about this video. she told me this is the song she thought about when she thought about me alll 18 years when i was growing up. now this song makes me wanna cry because she missed all of those important things. but it makes me so happy to have her now
for me its my brother i never knew him we found each other a few months ago and know were as close as if we grew up together y father was horrible to my fmily i dont talk to him if i can avoide it. thats good about you and your dad :)
this song realy makes me think of my younger brother and his two kids because my brother is in prison for the next four years and the only way he gets to see his 3 year old son and his 1 year old daughter is when me and my mom send him pictures of his kids it hurts him to know that his kids cant see there daddy because of the bad choices that he made.we cant take the kids to see there daddy because it is a long drive from where we live to the prison where my brother is.
This song reminds me of my cousin destiney and her dad who deticated to her before he passed away rip jimmy you will always be missed and loved!!!! we'll see you again some day!!!
Because it's the truth. If you don't want to listen to it, don't. But this song has helped many people and is a way for alot of us to express how we feel. People can relate to this song on a deeper level than most others. Yes it's heat breaking, but it's songs like this that make me realize how much my Daddy misses and loves me. It gives me insight to what my mother put him through, and if I can get one step closer to understanding the heart ache he experienced for eighteen years, it's worth it.
@snazzyxsocks1 thats true.. my daddy said when he plays this song its me and him!! my dad was in jail whe i was born but when he got out he changed his life for me and my brother. to give us all the things he never had. he is a truck driver so i dont really see him that much.. mostly on the weekends but he always says it hurts him to stay away from us but he does it to give us everything... my family is my world!!!!!
@snazzyxsocks1 that's amazing that you found out what your mom did to your dad!! Hoping one day my step daughter realizes the same thing!! My husband hasn't seen her for 12 years!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OMG this is so damn depressing! Why do people want 2 write shit like this? My dad raised me and my sister and brother but when I was a baby him & my mama were seperated & he had 2 see me gow like this 4 a year. I get why this wong was written & its a powerful song, but come on its fucking HEART BREAKING
Hey I wasn't being rude okay i was giving my opinion and thats what comments r 4 so lay off me..I wasnt being a jerk u asshole..2 me it is heartbreaking bc it makes me think of the pain my damn daddy went through missing me ok!
i`m still lucky, the 12 of us siblings, we had a great daddy,always with us.preparing all things n stuffs for us even now that the 3 of us r already mearried,,,i resally admire hi esp now that im so far from my family........parents should never miss the FIRSTS of ther childrenm but sometimes life is tough n we cant avoid some circumstances,,,,
My name is Kayla Johnson..my mom and dad devorced when i was 1 years old! They met up every summer and id spend my summer with him in florida. Its been like that all my life..but now my mom told me money is gettin tight. so i cant see him for a couple years. I miss my daddy like crazy he is the one i look up too and i miss him like crazy.. we barely talk on the phone at all! Daddy you are my hero my life and my soul!!!! I just wish i woke up to your huggs! and went to bed with your sweetdreams.
reading all the comments is heart wrenching. It's unfortunate, I never knew my father growing up, I met him when I was 21 then he died a year later. I knew him thru the eyes of his family.
Wife left 9 days ago and took 11yr girl and 5 yr of boy 10 hrs away from me. I did 21 yrs in the navy and retired 1.5 years ago to raise and be with my family all the time. Now, unless I win an expensive, probably bitter custody battle, pictures is all I will have except for short visits. Can I live with myself if I dont fight is the big question i guess. I can do just as good as their mother rasing them and I didnt quit on the family, she did.
i've been living this life also, so don't feel like your the only one. Every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out. I dont even get to see my real dad, so yeah I know how you feel. But this is really sweet to make for him. I really enjoyed it.
My daddy told me this was his song to me today on the way home from getting my license. He;s a truck driver and my mom and him divorced when I was five. I only get to see him when is is routed through here and it kills us both. I can't stop crying. To all the dads out there who cant see their kids as often as you like, just call and tell them you love them and how much they mean to you. It means the world to me when my daddy does it.
i remember laying on the couch one night when i was about 10. This song came on and i remember this overwhelming sadness coming over me and crying so hard and i couldn't stop.This song is the story of his life. It has hurt me so much. He lived a mile away and rarely saw me. Maybe an hour every other weekend. And he'd never call in between to see how I was.. all this by choice. To all the dads out there, never stop loving your kids or showing them that you care. It hurts more than you think.
Brittany, It's been 16 yeaqrs since I last saw you. You were 2 and a half, then. You wouldn't know me or remember me, but I still have your picture in my wallet. I will never forget you.

i know many people out there that do not see there daughters by choice and i pray for them all and then there are some that have no choice because they work away i am one of those that work away and i regret it every day i have a 2yr old daughter and i MISS her so much i talk to her every day and look at her pictures every night before i go to be praying that the three weeks im out working she is safe and i cant wait to go home to her and my wife i miss you Fredricka you are my heart and soul
i hear you, im joining the military and ill be shipped out before im 20. my 2 yr old daughter is the only thing im going to miss and im going to hurt alot
this song reminds me of my lil girl i cry my eyes out every time i hear this song im haveing to watch her grow up in pics i missed her frist steps and her first words i aint seen her in 2 yrs her mom thinks she need her mommy more then our lil needs me it kills me every day but one day she will know who done wrong and be with daddy
yea this song reminds me of my father. he left when i was a bby. i dnt see him much. i see him every few years...if im lucky. sometimes i feel like my mom keepin me away frm him. the people who come complainin about thier dad dnt understand how grateful they shuld be. i hate my dad for leavin but i will always love him unconditionally. i miss him so much. if only he culd kno how i feel. then maybe he will b bak in my life but who knows maybe its for the best. i cant force him to be here with me.
beautiful song but sad you are all lucky who have a father-dad keep hold of him my dad left me when i was a young girl after my parents split up because of my mom all he had was pictues and memories and he would come in and out of my life i saw him again about 9-10 years ago and he left my life again sad but maybe for the best family means the world to me family comes first i have a dad in my life now not my biological dad but hey he loves me and i love him he's been in my life for years now
My grandma told me that whenever my dad use to hear this song, he would cry. he has never really been in my life. my mama and him got a divorce when i was 4. But since he wanted to come into my life and then try and get me to move with him. i wouldnt so he wrote me off. when i hear this it makes me cry.
I love this song I have a 17 year old daughter and she lives withe her grandparents after her mother pass away from cancer. I had gotten married afew years ago, And had this song played for a father daughter dance and my daughter left me bymy self on the dance floor.. We hardly speak now days but I will never stop loving her She is my heart & soal. Don't be so quick to judge your father He still loves you and I'm sure he is hurting just like you!
this song is one that relates me and my dad to my big brother...he lives an hour or so away from us and the first time i heard this song my dad played it in the truck and told me how its almost the exact same feelings for him as discribed in this song and i remember bursting into tear 'cause i miss my big brother who is the only blood sibling i have...
This song gets to me because i only get to see my little girl every other weekend. It's something both my daughter Mica and I do not deserve. Her mother left me 2 months after she was born and all I've gotten was every other weekend with her. She's now 2 years old and I am still missing her every second of every minute of every hour of every day. I love you Mica Rene... one day you will get to see Daddy more often.
this song made me cry because of what my dad had to go through when me and my brother were 1 and 2 years of age. my mother kept us from him for over 4 years and he had no where to go so every night he would come and park infront of the house and watch my mom lay us down for bed and he would listen to this song and cry every night over us. on my 4th birthday my dad gianed custody of me and my brother and we have been with him ever sence. thank you for making this song.
This song has made me cry ever since i was a young girl. My dad moved away from me and i see him once a year if that. You never really realize how much u miss someone till their gone and you have no say in if u see them or not
this is the most awesome song i've ever heard, I miss my little girl so much everyday...her mom is not being very nice about me seeing her, and she has a new person to be a dad like person in her life who I do not approve of... this song brought me to tears, it puts into music how I feel right now.
Hang in there men.. were not alone. Lots of us has cried over this song.... but it is so true and real for lots of us. Kids ... we love you and always have.Love - Your Dads.
omg this reminds me of my dad. he left when i was 7mounths old i didnt know him till last year. i still barely know my farther. my mom told me to listen to this song and now i cant stop listening to it!!!
i miss my dad so much i mean we just got done fighting i didnt know my dad 4 the first 12 years of my life i am now 14. i mean he left when i was 7 months old!!! i really miss him so much everytime i listen to this song i cry!!!
me and my ex had my daughter in 1991.she is 17 now.i would see her on the weekends as much as her mom would let me.her mom joined the navy and took her.promising me i would see her again.she was seven.i didnt see her until she was 13.that was only for one hour at detroit airport.then at 16 she came and seen me for only oneday.telling me that i never was there for her.now i live with that memroy everyday.ashley brooke sanchez i want you to know i love you and that will never ever change.
The comments for this video really break my heart. I have 3 lovely girls and I couldn't imagine starting a day without seeing their smiling faces. It is a shame to hear about parents who don't want anything to do wiht their kids or hide their kids from the other parent.
my ex ran away with another man and i would get my daughter when i wanted and then she quit answering my calls and quit letting me see the baby and then she called the police because i was calling her so much to try to see my daughter now i cant even see my baby girl until after court...i cry myself to sleep pretty often..she is 7 1/2 months and she is my everything
this song makes me cry because my dad has watched me grow up in pictures! its really sad.. :(

I was forced to surrender my rights yesterday. I have 2 children. I've fought both of their fathers x 4 years. They finally won. I was diagnosed with spinal cancer 2 years ago. It's sad that our judicial system considers a mom to be one that is healthy and with a job. I wished there was someone out there that could do something. I pray my son understands, and that he comes back when he can. He's only 9 1/2. Mommy Loves You Ethan! I'll always carry you as I once did, directly under my heart...

@mnmotes79 It's okay, I kind of understand how you feel. My father abandoned me, I am 13, My mom hardly can take care of me and my sisters. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder/ Manic Depression. I am usually really depressed. I am brutally picked on in school, and my mom can't do anything, and my father wasn't there through any of it. He picked drugs and jail over his seven daughters. (Me, and six others, all with different moms, i have two other sisters by my mom, but by different dads)

to wendy I'm sure your dad would like to make contact sometimes its hard as a child to understand the emotion that parents go thru on seperation whether it involved alot of violence or was mutual the emotional turmoil parents go thru is not seen by a child as we do try to hide what we feel infront of children as they generally see someone who is strong not someone weak .I have not had contact with my daughter since 14 she will be 24 next birthday and not a day goes by I dont think of her ..

My First wife and I split before my son was 1 year old as hard as I worked to keep it together. He lived with her until he was 19. Came to live with me in Aug and on Oct 28 he was killed by a drunk driver . My world fell apart. I will never forget the feeling of Love and Completeness I had when He moved in with me.

My ex-wife made my life such a living hell that I went into major depression. She abused me so much I was thinking of suicide, but we have two daughters. One day she told me to just die and get out of their lives. So I did. That was over 3 years ago and not a single day goes by without me thinking of our two little girls. I cry every night because I miss them so. This song is dedicated to Zoe and Lexie I do love you both so very much and I'm sorry. I hope someday you'll forgive me I LOVE YOU!

I always cry when I hear this song because my dad was never around. I'm grown now and we have a friendship, but I still wonder why he never called. (We were military and moved around a lot.) He said it just hurt a lot but that he regrets it now.
I'm divorced and have two children with my ex-husband. The most painful part is watching my children go through the same thing. Luckily my mom was amazing and never lied to me but never put my dad down. When I asked she would only say, I don't know why

It breaks my heart that so many dads and even grandparents have to go through this for whatever reason. No one should have to, but unfortunately we do. It is heartbreaking and at times heartwrenching, to have to see your children or grandchildren grow up in pictures. It's not the same as having them nearby. And to the parent(s), I ask you, was it really worth it?

I love this song! It completely describes my relationship with my father. For many years he was an alcoholic and because of that he missed many big parts of my life. I met him for the first time when I was 16 years old. Now we have a decent relationship; it's still a work in progress. But he's missed so much and now all he has is pictures. I know it breaks his heart, but you can't change the past, right? Anyways, this is my and my daddy's song. And I love it.

My father has never been in my life. I'm 16 years , I haven't heard his voice in over 3 years. This song always makes me bawl, it's something that always hits me to the core of who I am. I try to hide that I don't care, but deep down inside, I want my daddy. I can't look at kids with their fathers, I have to look away, because that was never me.

I just want to say this song is not just about fathers and daughters. Its for anyone out there seperated from their sons, daughters or mothers and fathers It doesn't matter if your a father or mother or son or daughter. The pain of not having your child or parent their hurts regardless. So everyone enjoy this song. I love you Mijo. .

This song breaks my heart everytime i hear it bc its the only time I have ever seen my husband cry. He is on his 4th deployment to Afghanistan and 2nd deployment having kids! He was gone for the first 8 months of our sons life and he left when his baby girl was just 3 months old and will not return til she is 18 months old! The only time he sees them is through pictures! I take a new one everyday and i send them to him. It breaks my heart that he has to miss out on so much but hes preotecting us

My father doesn't know he's a dad. I hate that I know that some where out there, there is a guy who I look like. But he doesn't that here, there is girl that must have all his traits. I hate that I have to suffer by feeling alone, and he doesn't. I wish he could feel how I do. I wish he would have walked out on me instead of never knowing, because then I would know if he would ever care at all. I'm sorry, I just can't call you Dad, I don't know you and you don't know about me.

I myself am a child of divorce. This song came out in 1995, but unlike the guy in the song, my dad was awarded custody of me and my siblings. In all honesty, I kept thinking of my mom when I heard this song. I wondered if she was listening to this same song at the same time I was. I think this song is one of my all-time favorite songs from the mid-1990's. Thanks Randy, Teddy, Jeff and Mark for recording, and releasing this unforgettable gem!

I lost my daughter to a runaway mother for 19 years before I got to see her again. She was 21, and thought the guy the ex took off with was her father. I tried very hard to rebuild the relationship, but she refuses. And I will never get to see my new grandson. I cry every time I hear this. The pain goes on.

this song realy makes me think of my younger brother and his two kids because my brother is in prison for the next four years and the only way he gets to see his 3 year old son and his 1 year old daughter is when me and my mom send him pictures of his kids it hurts him to know that his kids cant see there daddy because of the bad choices that he made.we cant take the kids to see there daddy because it is a long drive from where we live to the prison where my brother is.

Because it's the truth. If you don't want to listen to it, don't. But this song has helped many people and is a way for alot of us to express how we feel. People can relate to this song on a deeper level than most others. Yes it's heat breaking, but it's songs like this that make me realize how much my Daddy misses and loves me. It gives me insight to what my mother put him through, and if I can get one step closer to understanding the heart ache he experienced for eighteen years, it's worth it.

@snazzyxsocks1 thats true.. my daddy said when he plays this song its me and him!! my dad was in jail whe i was born but when he got out he changed his life for me and my brother. to give us all the things he never had. he is a truck driver so i dont really see him that much.. mostly on the weekends but he always says it hurts him to stay away from us but he does it to give us everything... my family is my world!!!!!

@snazzyxsocks1 that's amazing that you found out what your mom did to your dad!! Hoping one day my step daughter realizes the same thing!! My husband hasn't seen her for 12 years!

OMG this is so damn depressing! Why do people want 2 write shit like this? My dad raised me and my sister and brother but when I was a baby him & my mama were seperated & he had 2 see me gow like this 4 a year. I get why this wong was written & its a powerful song, but come on its fucking HEART BREAKING

This is not depressing. It makes you realize something. You are a jerk if you think that. Keep your rude comments to yourself.

reading all the comments is heart wrenching. It's unfortunate, I never knew my father growing up, I met him when I was 21 then he died a year later. I knew him thru the eyes of his family.

Wife left 9 days ago and took 11yr girl and 5 yr of boy 10 hrs away from me. I did 21 yrs in the navy and retired 1.5 years ago to raise and be with my family all the time. Now, unless I win an expensive, probably bitter custody battle, pictures is all I will have except for short visits. Can I live with myself if I dont fight is the big question i guess. I can do just as good as their mother rasing them and I didnt quit on the family, she did.

i've been living this life also, so don't feel like your the only one. Every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out. I dont even get to see my real dad, so yeah I know how you feel. But this is really sweet to make for him. I really enjoyed it.

My daddy told me this was his song to me today on the way home from getting my license. He;s a truck driver and my mom and him divorced when I was five. I only get to see him when is is routed through here and it kills us both. I can't stop crying. To all the dads out there who cant see their kids as often as you like, just call and tell them you love them and how much they mean to you. It means the world to me when my daddy does it.

i remember laying on the couch one night when i was about 10. This song came on and i remember this overwhelming sadness coming over me and crying so hard and i couldn't stop.This song is the story of his life. It has hurt me so much. He lived a mile away and rarely saw me. Maybe an hour every other weekend. And he'd never call in between to see how I was.. all this by choice. To all the dads out there, never stop loving your kids or showing them that you care. It hurts more than you think.

yea this song reminds me of my father. he left when i was a bby. i dnt see him much. i see him every few years...if im lucky. sometimes i feel like my mom keepin me away frm him. the people who come complainin about thier dad dnt understand how grateful they shuld be. i hate my dad for leavin but i will always love him unconditionally. i miss him so much. if only he culd kno how i feel. then maybe he will b bak in my life but who knows maybe its for the best. i cant force him to be here with me.

My grandma told me that whenever my dad use to hear this song, he would cry. he has never really been in my life. my mama and him got a divorce when i was 4. But since he wanted to come into my life and then try and get me to move with him. i wouldnt so he wrote me off. when i hear this it makes me cry.

I love this song I have a 17 year old daughter and she lives withe her grandparents after her mother pass away from cancer. I had gotten married afew years ago, And had this song played for a father daughter dance and my daughter left me bymy self on the dance floor.. We hardly speak now days but I will never stop loving her She is my heart & soal. Don't be so quick to judge your father He still loves you and I'm sure he is hurting just like you!

this song is one that relates me and my dad to my big brother...he lives an hour or so away from us and the first time i heard this song my dad played it in the truck and told me how its almost the exact same feelings for him as discribed in this song and i remember bursting into tear 'cause i miss my big brother who is the only blood sibling i have...

This song gets to me because i only get to see my little girl every other weekend. It's something both my daughter Mica and I do not deserve. Her mother left me 2 months after she was born and all I've gotten was every other weekend with her. She's now 2 years old and I am still missing her every second of every minute of every hour of every day. I love you Mica Rene... one day you will get to see Daddy more often.

this song made me cry because of what my dad had to go through when me and my brother were 1 and 2 years of age. my mother kept us from him for over 4 years and he had no where to go so every night he would come and park infront of the house and watch my mom lay us down for bed and he would listen to this song and cry every night over us. on my 4th birthday my dad gianed custody of me and my brother and we have been with him ever sence. thank you for making this song.

this is the most awesome song i've ever heard, I miss my little girl so much everyday...her mom is not being very nice about me seeing her, and she has a new person to be a dad like person in her life who I do not approve of... this song brought me to tears, it puts into music how I feel right now.

Well Done!!! Beautiful Job on the video.
The comments for this video really break my heart. I have 3 lovely girls and I couldn't imagine starting a day without seeing their smiling faces. It is a shame to hear about parents who don't want anything to do wiht their kids or hide their kids from the other parent.
