my gramps died 9 years ago today he didn't die young he nearly 75 but they never told me he was sick. he was just gone one day i never got to see him in the hospital or say good bye, i never knew my dad so my gramps decided to bemy dad the day he met me and even with my mom's steam of boyfriends i knew deep down that he would be the only one i would ever send a father's day card to. i thought he would live forever because i could imagine life with out him i was 7 when he died i miss you gramps
My dad died on January 24th, 2004, after suffering for years with a brain tumor. For the last six months of his life, he had to be put on assisted breathing, and my little brother and i weren't allowed to visit him. He died with my mom holding his hand. During the funeral, I was the only one talking, asking my mom when he was going to wake up. I was six years old.
My dad was my hero, the person that I looked up to, the person that I cared the most about. He was 36 when he died.
My dad was the only one who listen to me. He was 48 when he died of a stroke. It was Dec. 18, 2006 A week before Christmas. I was 7. He was my bestfriend, my life, and something I look forward to be home for. We moved to NC and my mom quit her job. Unemployed for 6 years. The gov't gave us money, and now she is in school for billing and coding. But, I always here him in my head telling me to be strong.
But sometimes I fall apart and I have break downs in the middle of the night. RIP Daddy ILY.
i would never in my life want one of my friends or family to die, im already crying, reading comments from other people of what happened to there fam member. guys i know its hard, i went through it twice. my grandfather died of cancer and he was always there for mee, always made me feel high and loved everyone and i neveer knew my grandmother. she died when i was 1, i know she was an amazing girl
this is an awesome song me and my friend were talking after my granny,we were real close and i was with her when she died and we decided to make another versing of it and if u want u can listin to it when it gets posted every time i hears it she cries because this song makes me think of her......
@jenius124 It can't be about suicide as, according to the Bible, suicide is a sin and therefore the singer would not go to heaven. From the Wikipedia article: The song's female narrator describes being content with the life she has lived, assuring others that if she were to die at her young age, that she would have no regrets....."
@battledude46v2 So that means you're in high school. I'm 13, and my age group sucks. Completely. We do nothing except listen to music and laugh at each other on facebook. We backstab, we don't try. We take everything we want, and don't think about the consequences. My age group is beyond a failure.
this was the song at our school prompt and that was the day of my first dance and kiss o and i learned how to dance ................. i miss my old gf
this song makes me think.. i dont want to be missed where people are crying ,but laughing by remembering all our wonderful memories... and forgetting all the bad ones. i wish i had someone to continueing sharing our memories together people always say if he is the one you will know it i thought i did....
This is mine and my boy friends song.. we meet when this song was playing at our school dance and danced all night!! I love you Travis<3 1year and counting <3
my dad passed away Jan.18,1997 and i miss he still he was only 58 years old my daughter was 4 months old she never really got to know him he loved everyone and never judged you he was a wonderful dad and man.he had cancer and the Dr. told him there was nothing else they could do ,it is very sad to watch a good man give up but it happen R.I.P DADDY I LOVE YOU
@ilovemygrandsons I know how you feel my mom died july 28,2008 of cancer the drs said the same thing..she was a great mother and always happy and never gave up till the end when her body just could not take enough, I was only 25 yrs old and just getting to know her but i was so greatful for 14 months of her by her side helping her....people don't understand parents love you and just want the best for them...
This song is amazing... It reminds me of my auntie :( And one of my dear friends. Who both died last year..... :( My aunt was only late 20's and My friend was 19... It was too early for both of them....
Rest In peace aunt Kristy and Kara. <3 We love you..
heard this on the radio for the first time tonight. a girl from my hs cheerleading squad died in september of this year. such a sad and beautiful song. i feel as if it were written for Michelle <3
@Beachtrip951 sorry for your loss we lost 3 young people one was my friend just a couple days ago half hour before Christmas. Due to bad weather and road conditions.
EdMiles87 What are you talking about my dad was worryed because he didn,nt get up at 11:00 so he went to his room and found him he passed away. so i have no idea why you think we left him dead in his room and did,nt do anything only a retard would do that.
My uncle wally passed away november 18th 2010. he just feel asleep and never got back up.he was only 55 he lived with us for 3 years and before that we were really close. we talked everyday now hes gone how can we deal with this?. we can,t its still hiting us all hard my dad the most. i can,t deal with his dead we miss him so much it was just to soon.
R.I.P we miss you so much uncle wally i,m still wishing you would get up and say your ok :'''(
@masons19girl no offence, but tell the police and bury him. He will start to smell soon if you are going to wait for him to wake up. Not being funny either, but I think he is dead :(
I really don't like country and I was at my cousins the other night and all they play is country and this song came on. Five hardcore boys all singing along to this song mind you none of them knew the name but it was awesome. This song is really awesome for a country song (some of them are alright...). I was feeling so bad when I went there, they always know how to cheer me up even if they aren't trying. This song is now in my favs even if it's country lol.
My friend just lost her brother at age 15, and this song... it really describes his life because even though he was physically disabled he was always smiling... and he never seemed bothered by his condition.
Strange thing about this song... My mother passed away on 10/13/10 and for about a week before she passed, I became addicted to this song. This song speaks a lot about her life; it truly was a sharp knife, as she fought pain and addiction in her 48 years. She felt like no one (besides me) listened to her... there are so many people that wished they had done more for her, listened to her more, and shown her more love. Hold your loved ones close... life really is short.
@drparrish830 Wow I'm sorry to hear about ur mother. My father passed away on 10/13/10 too from cancer and I did the same thing listened to this song all the time for weeks before. Gone too soon..
My father died of anaplastic thyroid cancer on the 11th and I was caught in traffic right after coming to visit him. This song was playing on the radio when the phone rang and I got the news of his passing. It holds very deep meaning for me too.
I herd it on the radio in my car on my home from work. I couldn't stop listening to it. It sounds so true too about the listening to each other when were gone. That is really sad to know. :/ Hit home I am sure for us all.
i always told my daddy i would never live 2 be 30 ! he told me he goes before i do & he died 2 months after my 30th b-day ! i wish he could have heard this song ! this 1s 4 u daddy ! RIP Shelby Joseph Walls ! love you bigger than the sky !
this is country! cause all country is routed in bluegrass and bluegrass is from Ireland and Scotland. and this song i can hear celtic in it i love this song
@Jamesmorris76 Not quite. Immigrants from England and Ireland brought over fiddles to the American colonies which eventually stemmed off to traditional american fiddle. Then the banjo came along and old time was born. Earl Scruggs started using finger picks on the banjo and Bill Monroe popularized the mandolin and BAM! The begining of bluegrass. English, Irish and Scottish traditional music were all definatley the main influences on America's traditional music. Yeah I've got too much time.......
ofically the best song ever....my best friend died sunday ..this song was playin wen i got the call....then today at her funeral they played it and i start ballin...jsu like she sayd funny wen ur dead ppl start listining...remeber everybody WEAR YOUR SEATBELT AND NEVER TEXT WHILE DRIVING. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE...RIP LEXIE!!! 8-8-10!!
@redneckHP im so sorry for your losss. and your right about the seatbelt, my froend died in a car wreck, because she never wore her seat bealt. R.I.P. Mariah
i'm not saying it's a bad song, but why, of all the songs that exist, is THIS ONE the one that keeps getting stuck in my head more so than any other song I've ever heard!?
