A year ago my dad shot and killed himself. It’s hard to believe now that’s my story. While it’s the ending to a story about a father that didn’t want anything to do with his son anymore, this video is not for him or for his memory. Because I forgive him. This video is for a new story, a new beginning for me, for him.
With this new beginning I see so much of myself in you, and it makes me wonder. Wonder what my life would have turned out like if I had a dad around. Now because of you, my son, I can get answers to all these questions. And give you everything I grew up without.
This video was inspired by Peter McKinnon's video titled "For her." I didn't expect it to turn into what it has. In fact it wasn't even supposed to include my dad in the story. But when I dove into what I really wanted to express this is what came out of it. This is me and a little look into my thoughts. I hope you enjoyed it and got something out of it.
I had the chance to work with some of my best buddies on this one. It was the collaboration that brought this story to life. It wouldn't have been what it is without the help from Zane O'Gwin, James Terry, and Jack Mergist. Thank you so much guys for all your help.

Thank you for watching!
Damn, couldn’t even make it through the first half of the video before the tears started coming. I know the feeling of having egotistical parents and see them choose themselves before you, that’s why I’m forced to spend christmas all alone this year. As I’m sitting in front of this fireplace called youtube trying to find some warmth for my soul, this video of yours gave me a good portion of heat and filled me with love. Thanks! I see that you’re already a better dad than he was for his son ☺️ Much love from Sweden
aLovelyDay4Love wow, thank you so much for sharing! I’m so sorry you have to spend Christmas alone. I’m glad I was able to help in some way. Good luck with everything my friend. Merry Christmas!
Tyson J Henderson Thank you so much for your kind words! I don’t want to bring down the mood, but I just wanted to say that you are actually the only one who has said anything nice to me today, so honestly, I’m so thankful! And I hope you have a wonderful couple of days and a Merry Christmas! 🎄🌠😊
Rachel Alexandria Thank you for your kind and wonderful words and caring soul! The world needs more people like you! 💖💞💝 I had such a hard time when I wrote this message, I felt like the most lonely person on earth. It’s been a couple of months since then and even though I have had no contact with my parents since then I’m in such a better place emotionally and I’m so much stronger and I have survived the worst time of my life. I feel hope and happiness in life and I know life goes on anyways and new people will come in my life. Maybe this falling out with my parents wont be forever but I will survive in either case and have a great life, Im sure of that! Thank you again for caring, it means much and I hope someone will do the same for you if you ever go through hard times! Have a nice week! ☺️🌷

A nod to the past, but refusing to walk that road. So powerful. How did you get here, to this place of love, coming from a place of darkness?

Tyson, so glad that you are giving your son everything that you lost out on as a child. So happy that Nixon has both you and Haley as parents that also his brother or sister to come. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2019.
Ben Burns thank you Ben! And thank you for watching as well!
That was beautiful......God is always with us and you do beautiful work ...
Just know that you did nothing. Depression is a mental thing. It makes you think things that aren't real or have feelings about yourself that isn't true. It was all just too hard. But none of it was you. Suicide seems so selfish but the pain is real to those who suffer. I know as a parent that your daddy loved you. It was the mental that got him. Not suicide. ❤️
Touching, beautiful video.
This is a heartwarming video. You are a great inspiration bro! I have learned a while bunch of things in 3 minutes
You treated your dad horribly when he was alive and NOW you are sad. FFS
I am so very sorry for the loss of a loved one. My thoughts are with you through this hard time. You are going to be an amazing father to your son. God bless you.

Beautiful video! I would like to know what song is the one playing in your video. It’s a great song! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video and message.
Such a beautiful video... you truly seem like you are an amazing father and husband! You never know what someone’s story is and expressing it in a video like that with Nixon was so adorable!💙
Awww Tyson you are an AMAZING father!!! Nixon is so so lucky! ❤❤❤
Tyson suicide has touch my family a couple of times. It is devastating to the people left behind. Our family has not fully recovered yet but we are on our way. This is such a beautiful and positive way to bring awareness to this awful epidemic .
Beautiful. There's some sadness at the start but so overpowered with the love of these two sweethearts. ❤️ I just love this. Every bit as touching, pulling on the heartstrings and more as the proposal videos that brought me here.
This video is so beautiful, Tyson! There is SO much power in a father & child's relationship AND in forgiveness! I forgave my father a year ago after being imprisoned emotionally for 20 years! God bless you and your family!! ❤
Such an emotional and beautiful video, you're an amazing dad to Nixon, hope you all have the best Christmas x
Absolutely amazing video 😢❤️
Tyson, You did this video so well. I have been watching from the almost very first vlog! Your a great Dad and I see that you love your beautiful wife so much. Saying that you forgive is saying a lot. That is how you can heal from so much hurt. You’ve got this Tyson ! Nixon and the next children to come are vert blessed.
Wow! This video has all the emotions. What a tragic thing to go through. I can’t imagine losing my Dad... it’s beautiful how you’ve turned something so horrible into something completely opposite. ♥️
Dude. This video is incredible. Made it to 20 seconds in and started bawling. I love content that makes me feel things. Sometimes the best content brings up old wounds.. ones we thought had healed. This was that for me but in a very good way. This was a beautiful representation of your aspirations as a father and I wish nothing but love for you and your beautiful growing family!!
Such a beautiful and deep video. Passed my expectations yet again! Happy holidays!
A beautiful video❤ thank you for sharing🤗😘
I respect you so much for sharing your story with so many people. your struggle is part of you and shaped you into a great caring father. love will overcome any fear eventually.
What a powerful video. Such beautiful footage of the bond between you and Nixon! 😊
Gosh this got me really emotional. Thank you for sharing your personal story with us! Such a beautiful video ❤️

This was touching for me and my family.. my Dad wasn’t present in much of our lives either. I’m thankful that today I can say things have changed (after much trial and hurt) and he is finally a father I can rely on. We won’t be perfect, but we sure will do our best to give them everything we dreamed of as a child so they won’t have to feel that painful neglect. I’m sorry you had to go through that heartbreak too.
Thank you for sharing Tyson. It was very special to watch
