This song made me cry. I just lost my husband in a freak accident. He left me with a 4mth old baby. I can't change the past but i can be happy and make a good future for me and my son. Thank you for this song. It helped me alot :)
@SelenaFan924 I wish you the best on your road to recovery. Also, remember that even when you feel like your friends only make things worse, they ARE trying to help. I know that sounds cliche, believe me, but some of us are just awkward when it comes to helping others. The important thing is that we try. And they try because they love you. To them, you're worth the effort. Best of luck to you :)
Thank you @DanielEvansOfficial for posting this on twitter... such a lovely song and it does make you realise you should be greatful for what you have! There are times when I feel like things I have experienced I wish id never... but there are always people who have gone through far worse...... xxxx
I was sexually molested by a family member when I was eight years old. That is the day my world ended. I have lived with anger, hatered, and bitterness for my whole life, I am 53 now. When I told my mother and my family, they shunned me. and ostracized while embracing the one who did this to me...I was a victim all over again. I have spent many years trying to come to terms with all that has happened and this song has helped. My prayers go out to anyone who has also experienced this.
My best friend and I don't speak he cut me out his life. Imps him like I miss apart of me has been taken away. I will change accept and forgive him and myself for everything:)
i lost my best friend 7 months ago. this helps me. so much. for about 3 months after she passed away i couldnt do anythign without crying, i could barely function. its hard to go through something like that at only 16
I lost my mother when I was 5 and my step mother who raised me when I was 13. My father, although smart and successful is an alcoholic and abusive. I tried for years to please him. I always did the right things, but they were not good enough.
Now that I'm grown with 2 children of my own, I have cut off all ties with him. I don't want my children around the same influence I grew up with.
We lost our precious grandson just 18 days after he was born. He is the first boy born to my family in several generations and was my husband's namesake. The autopsy report told us he died of a blood virus introduced after birth. Probably contracted at the hospital. Our grief has been mixed with shock and anger. Counseling is helping but the words of this song touch to the very heart of our healing and moving forward. We know these words but hearing them put to music is comforting.
I was in a relationship for 4 years, and he cheated on me overseas... we were so close to being engaged... It's been 6 months, my heart still breaks...
This is so Beautiful! I've read the book & it's very Heartwarming! Leann Rimes has amazing talent & is a truly beautiful person inside & out! This song has touched so many lives, including my own! :)
Also passed away a month before my best friend did. And I did not even know or hear about it until last month from my mother. I literally have been through hell and back, and just recently I felt as if God has answered my prayers and lifted a huge heavy plate off of my shoulders. I'm 27 years old now, battling schizophrenia, being overweight and having no family other than my dad and my adopted families. Thank you Leann for writing such a beautiful song! Touched my heart and soul!
When I was a little girl I was somewhat diagnosed with depression, in 2004 I was diagnosed with anxiety and paranoia schizophrenia and depression. I lost my best friend aka my Grandmother to congestive heart and kidney failure on June 13th 2010. My dad is all I have left in this world besides my adopted family and they make it better when I'm around them. My own mother has always been in and out of my life trying to control and brainwash into hating my father, same with my other grandmother who
this song brings tears to my eyes everytime.. it hits so close to home... my entire life it has truly been easier to please the world than to please myself. and i have always put myself and my problems off to help another but in the end everything catches up to you.... Once you lose someone that helped fill a gap in your heart you truly realize there are some things in life that you just cant change and you have to accept death and embrace it as a thing of life... To live, we must die.
I forgave two people who sexually abused me as a child. I have never forgotten what they did. But I have forgiven them. It was my choice, not theirs. It felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders. Great video
This song describes how i need 2 start living my life. I cannot change the fact that my dad doesn't care bout me or that im harssed r that i been in depression for 3years r that i am who iam.
i am 13 and i have been battleing adressive depression for about 2 months. with no help from my family or friends.when ever my friends try to make it better they really just make it worse. and has been a tough battle but im getting through it
Good 4 u 4 keeping on. It's good you can talk about. I bet ur friends and family want to understand sometimes it's just hard. Keep on going and good luck
Saw her perform this live last week! It was the first time I had ever heard it. It is even better when she sings it live! She is such an amazingly talented person and she performs this song with such conviction, so moving!
This video made me cry, i have had a very difficult time and i'm only 21 years old, i have bad bipolar disorder and find it hard to love my son because my father abandoned me, thank you sooo much for this video xx
...and to also mention...i found out that my most recent ex of almost one year is married with a kid and m also coping with that because i was in love with him
i finally get paid from work tomorrow!! and will hopefully be able to find a place that will let me sign a lease or make a contract.... but i am not complaining...i am finally at peace and healthy again. i love God and this song makes me want to cry just to vent everything and i am/have slowly accepcted that my dad will never really want to know who his daughter is....its hard but am coping. 4 months till i turn eighteen....
he does not believe that i was raped and will not try to understand how anyone feels at all but himself...but i am doing so much better now and and so much happier even if i am broke....
i have just moved out of my house about a month ago because my dad told me to leave...just heard this song today and wow i can relate alot.... i was forced to move in with my dad at age 16 and have reported child abuse and he was controlling and kept food/drinks away from me and does not have any interest in knowing me or what i have been through..
I'm 17 and recently had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. It was the hardest thing I have ever gone through and I have been so angry with God because all I did throught the pregnancy was pray for things to go well. I have been crying for days and not really sleeping or eating. I watched this video and I feel differently. I am still in pain, but I can think about it differently now, God took him/her from me for a reason. And I can try again later on. Wonderful song with a great meaning.
Forgiveness is truly the key to happiness and unconditional love. Great video, great message. Helps me to remember we are all the same, despite appearances.
My husband is a Marine and I felt she took what I said on her site along with my step dad. It really brought my emotions to the core when I seen that as I struggle alot with these emotions. I am so grateful this song exists and LeAnn sees the impact she has made to others as well.
God bless you, Leanne. Everyone needs to watch this and really listen to the words. This song and video has the ability to change people and the world for the good. Pass this on to everyone you know.
Beautiful! I watched this after she mentioned it on Twitter. I still listen to her "You LIght Up My Life" album from when she was 15, but she is even better now, my favorite singer.
Wow this is sad and I can totally relate since I lost my dad 3 months before I graduated high school and now he wont be around for anything else I will do.
