RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, best, funniest an most charismatic drummers of all time. Every single A7X fan misses you and will foREVer. You are the first man who I saw show off how badass the drums are and you are the reason I'm the drummer I am now, all I want to say thank you Rev!
thank you sir, your comment made me cry so hard. i really appreciate it. i just lost my best friend 2 weeks before my birthday witch was on may 10th and everytime i think about him i listen to this song. thank you so much
Maaf aku komen pakai bahasa indonesia, aku baru saja ditinggal pergi temanku sekaligus sahabat, dia sangat baik tidak pernah menyusahkan temannya justru dia lebih sering menolong teman-temannya atau bahkan orang yang tidak dia kenal, dia meninggal karna kepalanya mendapat hantaman palu seberat 5kg yang mengakibatkan cidera serius hingga akhirnya meregang nyawa dilokasi kejadian, Meninggalkan keluarga dan istri beserta calon bayi. Tolong siapapun yang membaca komentar saya, saya mohon luangkan waktu sejenak untuk mendoakan teman saya, dia tidak salah dan dia orang baik😢 Beristirahat dalam damai kawan, Allah SWT memberikan tempat terbaik untuk orang baik sepertimu😢 Hidayat bin Jarni, 24 - November - 2024
My father recently died. He was known for his love and knowledge of heavy metal. My brothers choose music for the service. This song was one of the songs, which I didn't know before. It was a perfect fit, thank you for making this.
This song means so much to me. When I was homeless living with my lil brother and my mom who was leaving all the time to get drugs and drink. We were on the streets when we heard her brother, my uncle, passed away I listened to this song. I still cry everytime I listen to it because I have so much words and things I have to say but people come and go at unexpected times. This song helped me deal with his death. If anyone else out there has someone who passed it gets better. It still hurts like hell but it gets better with time. I promise.
Gohan Blanco Calvo Del Verde El Diablo correction u don’t give a fucking shit it’s evident people here do , I haven’t lost anyone I love more then myself but for people who haven’t like maybe u aswell we can at least show sympathy fuckface
My wife, Crystal, passed away a few months ago. On random Fridays we would sit around my pc after all my work was done. She would ask me to play music because she loved the way my studio monitors sound. This song was always highly requested. We would remember the people we lost, honor their memory. This song has a different purpose for me now. I have always been a bit self destructive. I would do things just to get a little thrill out of life...then I met Crystal. A drummers main function is to keep time within the band. That is what Crystal did for me. She made sure I didn't live too fast but she also kept me moving forward so I didn't get stuck in a rut. My Crystal is the best drummer to ever live. I love you my sweet baby Crystal. I will see you soon.....
Wow, dude. I am so sorry. I have been with my girl for almost 40 years. I couldnt even imagine. I am here in tears for you. We don't know each other but I felt your pain through your writing. I can only hope you have found some peace and solice somewhere along this journey. Loves and blessings to you, brother.
Holy shit, this comment hits hard. I realize this thread is almost 5 years old, but I hope you see this, I hope you're still here, and if you've gone on to join her, I wish you well.
The amount of people commenting about losing someone they love... Life is so fragile, love the people around you while you still can. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes losing someone to understand the value of having them.
Oh man...don't do this to me.I just spent hours on this earlier,ripping open all my old stitches over my grandmother and how I wasn't really there in the end.Better get out the old sewing kit of the soul,gotta put mine back together again.
Heard this song at the gym. I'm 61 years old and it really resonated with me. I lost my husband 9 years ago and it was like he was speaking to me. It took some digging to find out who sang it. Thanks guys. I feel like I've had a message from the great beyond. Love you forever my darling
That is a great gym you go to, where they play A7X. I’m really sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother last year, and this song makes me always think of him.
My brother, Derek, lost the same fight with opiod addiction that took the Rev. Derek died on March 2, 2021. May you live eternally Derek, I love you. Thank you A7X for helping my brother and I become closer through your music over the last 20 years. May all of you and anyone in the comments here find peace that our loved ones are at rest and no longer struggling with their addictions.
I feel for your loss my friend. I was one of the lucky ones. I fought an almost 20 year battle with opiates and cocaine. When my ex got pregnant with my daughter, it changed me. I had a purpose now. I quit cocaine and several opiates cold turkey. I almost died but refused treatment. I was gonna do this on my own or die trying. I won the war! Im still here and clean over a decade. You (anyone reading) can do it too. You're stronger than you think. Through the pain and vomiting and sweating and praying for death, i was empowered. Fight for what you believe in as hard as you fought for your fix and never give up. You may slip, but progress is progress. My heart goes out to you, all of you... my prayers go to your brother
My cousin committed suicide 4 years ago, at the age of 14, I used to listen to this song in her memory as I felt closer to her whenever this song was on. Yesterday her lil sister (my cousin) too committed suicide at the same age. She had been on ventilator for 10 days & yesterday when I was listening this song my mum told me that she’s passed on... This song holds so much more meaning now than it did before! It gave me strength 4 years ago when I was battling depression & has helped me to overcome my struggles & my demons. Thank you A7X for this masterpiece, I can truly understand & feel your loss!
My father unexpectedly died two days ago, he just fell down in the morning. He was 48 years old, he was my best friend. I'm 15 , my sister is 13 and my brother is 10. I have no idea what to do without him, he was my best friend we always listened to metal in the car and our favorite songs were 'Afterlife', 'Bat Country' , 'Buried Alive' and 'A Little Piece Of heaven'. I miss you so much daddy. So Far Away and Afterlife will be played at his funeral
be strong my friend, i don't know what it's like to have a good relationship with dad but i know it must be hard to lose one, everything will be fine and one day your dreams will come true and your dad will be very proud of you, just be strong, if you need read this all night if it makes you better (im Brazilian, so sorry for my bad english)
Im so sorry for you. Stay strong for yourself , for your father , for your family even if everything seems so senseless and heavy . stay strong i think he would be proud of you .
Sorry for your loss, keep him in your memories and any little thing he said to you or taught you - don’t let him down. Every day he’s on that other frequency enjoying the views of you growing.
damn. reading everyone's comments of losing loved ones, is really heart wrenching. my love goes out to all of you. i sent this song to my bestest friend of 30yrs, we were happy and silly together, and now i don't even know if she is still alive. she is a heroin addict now, from a broken heart. it hurts my soul to know this. she IS so far away, and i can't help her, i don't know what to do
Vortex thank you so much, i have been in contact with her through this, it's been 2years that i've known of it. she lives in Seattle and i live in Az. i can only be there for her on my phone long distance. TY so much for even giving a shite. TY
Ibnu Fasya i wish it could be that easy. we live 1500 miles away from each other. it breaks my heart so much. i hope i can see her before the end of the year. ty for caring. for real, TY 🤘
My dad just passed, and I just found myself here at this song. Sitting on my deck trying to process everything, starting up at the night sky. Probably the thousandth time I've heard this song, but it hit me a whole lot harder tonight. It brought me tears, but also peace, it made me feel as close to him as I could get now.
My deepest condolences! This song is so old but like you said, it doesn’t hit you until this song is actually relatable. When I lost my grandma, I finally FELT the lyrics to this song. It’s so beautiful❤️ Stay strong!
Setiap mendengar lagu ini, dada selalu terasa sesak karna lagu ini mengingatkan kita kepada orang yang kita sayang yang telah pergi lebih dulu meninggalkan kita untuk menghadap Tuhan
I used to listen to this song as an edgy teenager. Back then I had no reason to be so sad.. later in life, at 28 this song is all too relatable. Here's to those still struggling with grief! Keep fighting! Share the light your loved ones left behind for the rest of your days.. do it with pride! Don't let the sadness consume you, your loved ones do not want you here suffering without them - they'd want you taking advantage of every last day you have here. Much love!
@@MrJwolf989 I'm on 11 close friends and family that have passed in 10yrs ,my daughter 2nd wife. Parents , the darkness is very dark. Before I laid on an operating table being told that I needed to do the end of life stuff wills and so forth. 30 days waiting for surgery because of aids I gave my own blood. As I awoke from the intense pain in sicu ,,,hoses everywhere, a machine keeping me alive ,,was an experience few will go thur. I had survived. As bad as that felt my daughters death hurts more. 💔 and now my wife's passing. I was there next to her as she passed on. Life ain't easy but I believe I've survived all this and more because I had a purpose. Just not sure what that is now 10yrs later. Alone now taking baby steps. Bloody from the punches of life. Dizzy from being knocked down repeatedly. I stand again
I always have to think about how strong the guys had to be. Especially Brian. When i think about my best friend dying, my world would collapse. I have the greatest respect for the band and all of their members. foREVer (and lots of love to my Sev ♡)
Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band to listen to while doing homework and studying. Thank You Jimmy for inspiring me to get through University, especially in 2020 through my quarantine breakup and online classes... Rest In Peace
this goes out to my buddy who died in February and this song was played at his funeral and i haven't been able to stop watching this absolutely beautiful music video
I know how you are feeling I had a family member I ridiculously close with pass away a week ago. In these times we need eachother. Im sure your friend is at peace
My best friend of 28 years passed away last November..he was a huge music fan and a hell of a drummer...actually was a huge fan of AS....one of the many things we had on common! The first time I heard this song it brought me to my knees in tears! Y'all are amazing! Keep rocking! Miss you Khay!!❤
My brother showed me this song when I was little, he passed away a year later. Everytime I hear this song I think of him and cry. I still have the vivid memory in my mind of us watching this video.
Speaking from personal experience, I lost my great grandmother, she was my sort of mother figure. These wounds don't heal quickly. You'll first be numb, then bawl your eyes out in remorse & in grief, then it hits a little less but the burden will carry for quite a while, years even before it becomes a twinge. Losing family is never easy, cherish the memories. Do what you can to honor them, but always go through the process of grief in its full extent.
I'm sorry for you loss! I hope that you keep holding on and May find relief through the time. I've lost my father a time ago... it's hard to keep strong but we need to. We must go on carrying the good things and memories we've got from them.
This song really helped a lot when my uncle passed away in November of 2011, it's crazy to think it's almost been 10 years now and I still miss him everyday. Condolences to everyone who has lost someone they loved.
I got to see A7X in concert for the first time in my life last year and the way they still pay homage to Jimmy, talk about him and play this song was my favorite thing I have ever experienced.
My father passed away 1 week ago and this song has always been a favorite of mine from Avenged Sevenfold because it really speaks to me but now that the one person I was the closest to is really gone, it hits me so much harder now. I’ve listened to this song for the past hour on repeat just breaking down crying in tears while my cat tries to comfort me, still crying while typing this comment. R.I.P. Carl Ray Lewis II aka Dad (January 24th, 1970-March 6th, 2023) you mean the world to me and I’m so sad and feel so depressed that I had to lose you so suddenly. We did so much together in our lives and we never got to watch the season finale of The Last of Us together but our final night together was wonderful but I never really got to say goodbye… I could have as I watched your body get carried out of our house on a stretcher by the funeral home folks but I didn’t have it in me to see you like that and the awful things I saw on that day will haunt me for the rest of my life… at least wherever you are now you’re no longer suffering and I hope that I get to see you again in another life and I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t do anything to save you…
I know exactly how you feel, just be strong.. I lost my dad in 2008..only difference, that haunted me is that I was arguing with him and mom about stupid car on the day he went to hospital, because me, young spoiled idiot wanted to go somewhere in the same time, and made a stupid scene about it, he actually didn't even responded, only mom was yelling at me, I wasn't aware how seriously he was ill, and that he'll never come home again.. he was a strong man, everything was so shocking, my whole world fell apart and change, and I never fully recover.. not to mention that we had a great life, financially free while he was alive, but after became poor to this day.. you at least had great last night with your old man, nice memories .. from time to time I love to listen song Black by Pearl Jam, very emotional and powerful song... I wish you and yours all the best
I'm sorry for your loss brother, I've been there and the pain never goes away but it does get easier over time. Man this song hits me very hard, I lost my mom in January of 2018 and that was the worst day/year of my life. Her name was Kim and she was my best friend, we survived a lot of hardship together and we had a special relationship. This song makes me cry every time because it reminds me of her, I miss her with all my heart. RIP Mom, I love you 🙏❤ And RIP to your father Carl 🙏❤
This comment got me to cry for the first time since my grandmother passed 4 years ago, and I know the words of a stranger you can’t even make eye contact with right now don’t really matter,but friend don’t spend the rest of your life mourning the dead but instead celebrate the lives they lived
I feel your pain bro I lost my father two year's ago. We all sufffer for this unpredictable life. may the music help us to find peace and refuge. stay safe and enjoy life as it is.
Just lost a friend yesterday morning. His name was also Jimmy. He took his own life after battling his depression for quite some time. He was a great guy, and was my little brothers football coach. Really gonna miss him. R.I.P. both Coach Jimmy and The Rev.
I'm so very sorry. That is one of the hardest kinds of losses. If you need to, seek out a survivors of suicide victims in your area. God bless you and keep you and Jimmy -- may his soul rest in eternal peace and love.
@@someguy3508 I am deeply sorry for your loss, I am 100 percent sure your dad's looking at you and showing other angles around him, see him? That's my son, and I am so proud of him. If you have suicidal problems please try getting some help however you can :(
My father died last Wednesday. Between the loss of him and the fact that due to distance, it's rare that I can see my lover, this song hits a bit close to home on multiple fronts.
One night, he shouted my name from the upstair. I afraid he would be mad to me for something. He shouted my name again. I slowly climbing those stair hoping everything was good. Nervously entering his room and there he was, sitting on the floor with his blue ocean guitar. " Hey come here, lets sing a song together!". He shouted my name using his highest pitch not to be mad, but to spend time on that last night singing to this song. We spend all night singing happily & vibing like there's no tomorrow for us. " You know, this song is about this bands' drummer who already passed away." He said. But he never know that just a few weeks later he passed away too. 4 years already passed. And here i am still dont lose my hope to meet him in the afterlife. He is my forever beloved brother.
Rest In peace James Owen Sullivan, hard to believe what happened to him. Rolling Stones won't even put him on top 100 drummers. Truly a legend and his legacy lives on.
He's too good to be on there. Apart from that, we have to accept that he went into the woods, and he's never gonna come back. But when he comes back, he's gonna be the fucking knife master. No. I'm not crying. Frigging onion cutting ninjas
This was my mothers favourite band, sadly she passed away. So I started listening to Avenged Sevenfold and I absolutely love this band and have never stopped listening to their songs since then. Rest In Peace all loved ones.

My cousin committed suicide a few days ago. Avenged Sevenfold was one of her favorite bands, and she was the one who introduced me to them when I was a teenager. I now have the death bat tattooed on my back, which she was there for. She took me to my first concert: Avenged Sevenfold at Taste of Chaos. We both found out about The Rev's death at the same time and mourned together. I cried watching this video, thinking of how much you loved The Rev. Thank you, A7X, for writing such beautiful, meaningful music that is loved and cherished by so many.
Stay strong brother, I know how is the pain, my father leave me in November, sorry for the grammatical mistakes, this is the better I can do, forces for you from Brazil
Metung Dadda indeed. Although if you’re a true a fan of Avenged Sevenfold then we all lost Jimmy. That’s why it pains all of us. Many of us were with them from the beginning and we feel like we’re apart of it.
We recently lost a friend to suicide, and this was one of his favorite songs. I guess he resonated with the song so much without even realizing the impact it'll have with our lives forever. He was an aspiring musician, and we lost him at 27. We'll miss you Vinni, you dork. You'll always be loved.
I lost one of my best friends about 2 or 3 months back to suicide, He was honestly like a older brother to me, We were both really into Avenged Sevenfold. We used to watch all the concerts and live stuff, listened to albums all the way through to the end too many times to count, and I even bought a guitar to play their stuff (he played drums and I play guitar) We'd play all their songs all the time, The Rev was his idol and mine, Every time I hear this song I end up crying. But my god it's a master piece.. Rest in peace Clyde.. I hope your playing drums with The Rev now..
I'm so sorry for your loss 💜 I lost my lifelong best friend to suicide in December of 2021 and don't think I have listened to this song a single time since then without crying. Even before that it would make me cry sometimes to see all the clips of Synyster Gates and the Rev showing each other so much love and how sad Syn looks without him. This song was actually written (both lyrics and music, if I'm not mistaken) by Syn for the Rev, they loved each other so much and had a special bond. As sad as it is, it's also fitting for you as you're a guitarist and your best friend was a drummer 💜 Please take care and be patient and kind to yourself as you grieve and heal. Sending big hugs from Australia xx
So Far away (lyrics) Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could Will you stay? Will you stay away forever? How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay away forever How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains But it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you, you were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you, when He lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away (so far) And I need you to know So far away (so far) And I need you to, need you to know

Everyone has their song that helps them deal with their pain…this one is mine. I lost my father to cancer at the age of 12…I’m now 38. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him. I always wonder if I turned into the man he would have wanted. Being a grown man with a wife and 3 kids…I don’t take life for granted. I miss you dad….
Not A day goes by that we will always have them in Our thoughts, dearly loved, Never Ever iz A BEAUTIFUL HEART FORGOTTEN💔 CHERISHED❤️ PRAYERS 🤍 to U ALL 🙏❤️💚🤍🕊️🤍💜❤️💜❤️💜🤍
These guys genuinely mean the world to me, and I'll never forget when Jimmy passed. I have to come back to this video every year on the anniversary. I've lost people very close to me in the last 15 years, so I can't even fathom the amount of strength it took to make this album with how much pain they were in. So much love and respect for them 💜 Jimmy was so beloved, I can only hope he knows how treasured he still is after all this time.
I’ve been reading the comment section.. and wow. I’m really sorry for all your losses.. my deepest condolences to every family and friends feeling down and missing their loved ones. I’m really really sorry. Sadly the coronavirus is taking away loved ones from everywhere. I really hate this situation we are in. We have to tell those loved ones how much we love them, before it’s too late. I know that if you weren’t able to tell them, they left this earth knowing you do no matter if you couldn’t be able to tell them in time. They know.
Thank you bro I’m 14 and lost my dad in February means a lot bro but don’t worry I had the best dad ever he had little but made so much I miss you daddy until we meet again my father love u rest easy pops ❤️❤️
@@marcellosarachilli4413 I’m glad that you had a wonderful relationship with yout dad. He’s resting easy knowing you’re alright and staying strong. Sending hugs brother. Take care always!❤️
I lost one of my childhood friend today. He died of corona.. His name was 'Rashed'.. It's sad how I said 'his name was' instead of 'his name is'.. After mourning awhile I came here to listen to this song..Hell yeah! We used to ride bicycles & explore places when we were like 14-15.. Now we are 25. I don't know why but today I feel every scream, every node, chords of this song. Maybe I'm just being too emotional. All the memories, moments we had. Now I guess I'll have to just remember 'em from time to time. Rest in peace my friend.. Will you stay away forever?
I’m sorry man I know what it’s like, I lost my stepdad a month ago and i still hurts,these songs been helping a lot tho(I’m not religious) but I hope god is with you and your parents
I liked this song when it came out. Then I lost the love of my life, my wife for 20 years, to cancer a few months ago. Now it’s one of the only songs that’s keeping me breathing.
It’s been years since a close friend of mine died….I ended up missing the funeral cause I ended up seeing the grave first (got a bit lost) but I remember her mum messaging me for songs to play at the funeral and this was the only one I could think of….it’s about the only song that can bring me to the brink of tears
Not gonna say I know how that feels like, but I hope you find the strength to push past it eventually and get better. I'm pretty sure she valued you a lot and would want you to.
Accept my condolences. To some extent, I lost a lot of things and continue to do so. And I imagine how you wake up every day like a boulder on your back, being shackled. I hope that all who are suffering now will find happiness. And I hope that you have people who will support you.
One of these songs that cope with my sadness. Bad memories in school, and still going on: Toxicity by my classmates when being very popular at school (especially previous toxicities by graduates), fear that i won't access to university, jealousies, being ignored by my classmates in events (collaboration with this year's seniors), and a lot to explain. Being heartbroken at school, thanks to avenged sevenfold for this song. Also rip rev 15 years since he died💔.
This song has made me cry every time I’ve heard it for the last 10 years after my best friend died of cancer. Today while playing it, it turned from sadness into anger for the 1st time. I think it’s anger for the fact that his grave stone was a wooden cross that rotted away and is no longer there. Anger that I can no longer visit his grave. His family made so much money off of his death. New giant house, new massive swimming pool they had built, and he doesn’t even have a marked grave. I miss you so much Caleb
Sadness is a natural part of grief and the only way to not grieve over losing something important to you is to discard your emotions. So I wouldn't recommend it.
Its just crazy how things you heard a million times can take on new meaning in an instant. I lost my father and both of his parents within a year of each other and I've just kind of been going through the motions. Then I heard this again and read some of the comments. Gives me hope knowing there are so many people dealing with similar issues. Much love
This song is really important because it's pretty universal. Something which everyone can relate to. True musicianship is about being able to transfer your experiences, feelings and thoughts into your music and lyrics. Nowadays literally %99 of the songs coming out are about sleeping with someone accidentally or intentionally, falling in love, raping etc.
I'm sorry to hear that cancer runs in my family I lost a lot of loved ones to cancer I'm so sorry my grandma is dieing of cancer and my aunt is fighting cancer I'm so sorry may he rest in peace
That’s because of how beautiful it is and how it is made for someone close to them so maybe it is triggering something inside you making you feel that way
I'm sorry for your loss. I think music like this is therapeutic when we are still in shock and even after when we lose someone. Sometimes we don't have words to explain our pain but songs like this do and it helps us in times we need it most. May your loved one rest in peace and live in your heart forever
I hope UA-cam is eventually judged to be historical content. The 80 year old building will eventually crumble, or be replaced. But UA-cam (seriously), is a collection of humanity. There have got to be billions of hours of humanity on here. Forget the ads, the controversies, forget Google (who is probably the Planetary Government in 2060). This is who we were. Who we are. ~Some dude on UA-cam. Circa Stoneage.
I lost 4 great friends in a accident we were all involved in 2 years to this date. It’s tough all those feelings suddenly come back. Here I sit trying to stay calm and positive listening to this wonderful powerful album. RIP to all of your loved ones
It's been 8 years since Rev's death but here in 2018 it affects me just as much now listening to this song. Just over 7 months ago I lost my old man so I know the anger, sadness, and wish to go back to better times that stems from the loss of a loved one. May all those who've passed on rest in peace!
Paul Meyer I lost my dad in 2010 as well, he misses my 18th birthday, my graduation, and the night he passed away I told him I hated him... . We have to live on for those we love, regardless of the bad. Sorry for your loss.
I just lost my grandfather early this morning and I was told that all he wanted to do was see his grandchildren. I went to see him, but he was halfway gone and in pain. Now he's no longer in pain and i just hope and wish that he heard me tell him I love him.
Because I have that right to do so. If I wanna talk about it here I will. You don't have to comment on what I said. I've already talked to my family about it.

Maaf aku komen pakai bahasa indonesia, aku baru saja ditinggal pergi temanku sekaligus sahabat, dia sangat baik tidak pernah menyusahkan temannya justru dia lebih sering menolong teman-temannya atau bahkan orang yang tidak dia kenal, dia meninggal karna kepalanya mendapat hantaman palu seberat 5kg yang mengakibatkan cidera serius hingga akhirnya meregang nyawa dilokasi kejadian, Meninggalkan keluarga dan istri beserta calon bayi. Tolong siapapun yang membaca komentar saya, saya mohon luangkan waktu sejenak untuk mendoakan teman saya, dia tidak salah dan dia orang baik😢
Beristirahat dalam damai kawan, Allah SWT memberikan tempat terbaik untuk orang baik sepertimu😢

My father recently died. He was known for his love and knowledge of heavy metal. My brothers choose music for the service. This song was one of the songs, which I didn't know before. It was a perfect fit, thank you for making this.
I'm sorry for your loss
Pass for you father amigo rest in peast for you father amigo😢😭😫😓😨😱😰😰😭😢
we stay with you bro, together
I'm so sorry! Keep being strong although it must be really hard. May he be peaceful

This song means so much to me. When I was homeless living with my lil brother and my mom who was leaving all the time to get drugs and drink. We were on the streets when we heard her brother, my uncle, passed away I listened to this song. I still cry everytime I listen to it because I have so much words and things I have to say but people come and go at unexpected times. This song helped me deal with his death. If anyone else out there has someone who passed it gets better. It still hurts like hell but it gets better with time. I promise.
no it doesnt
aga be yaktım kardeşim
Dez The Great godspeed. This too shall pass.
Gohan Blanco Calvo Del Verde El Diablo yo my guy calm down so what if it's a fake story but if it's real you wouldn't understand his pain

It hurts when the person you made memories with,
Becomes a memory...
Felt That Deep😢😭
So deep man ;(
that hit right in the feels...
Best quote ever
Actually got me crying again hard over my grandmother... thank you i needed that..
My wife, Crystal, passed away a few months ago. On random Fridays we would sit around my pc after all my work was done. She would ask me to play music because she loved the way my studio monitors sound. This song was always highly requested. We would remember the people we lost, honor their memory. This song has a different purpose for me now. I have always been a bit self destructive. I would do things just to get a little thrill out of life...then I met Crystal. A drummers main function is to keep time within the band. That is what Crystal did for me. She made sure I didn't live too fast but she also kept me moving forward so I didn't get stuck in a rut. My Crystal is the best drummer to ever live. I love you my sweet baby Crystal. I will see you soon.....
sorry to hear that hope her happy in the other side and will met you again in other time :)
Wow, dude. I am so sorry. I have been with my girl for almost 40 years. I couldnt even imagine. I am here in tears for you. We don't know each other but I felt your pain through your writing. I can only hope you have found some peace and solice somewhere along this journey. Loves and blessings to you, brother.
I came too late. I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

Holy shit, this comment hits hard. I realize this thread is almost 5 years old, but I hope you see this, I hope you're still here, and if you've gone on to join her, I wish you well.
The amount of people commenting about losing someone they love...
Life is so fragile, love the people around you while you still can. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes losing someone to understand the value of having them.
Everyone loses someone, and eventually everyone that they know/knew.
Life isnt permanent, nothing in life is permanent except for death.
Hmm
Oh man...don't do this to me.I just spent hours on this earlier,ripping open all my old stitches over my grandmother and how I wasn't really there in the end.Better get out the old sewing kit of the soul,gotta put mine back together again.
Indeed. You never truly appreciate something until someone takes it away.
Yeah..
If this song doesn't choke you up, then you never lost someone you truly loved, and I'm happy for you.
Or you just like the song
Heard this song at the gym. I'm 61 years old and it really resonated with me. I lost my husband 9 years ago and it was like he was speaking to me. It took some digging to find out who sang it. Thanks guys. I feel like I've had a message from the great beyond. Love you forever my darling
You're awesome
Sorry for you're husband😭 i've lost someone me too and this song is magic
That is a great gym you go to, where they play A7X.
I’m really sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother last year, and this song makes me always think of him.
Fiction by A7X might make you feel like he's talking to you...
Damn! My gym plays trash! 🤣
My brother, Derek, lost the same fight with opiod addiction that took the Rev. Derek died on March 2, 2021. May you live eternally Derek, I love you. Thank you A7X for helping my brother and I become closer through your music over the last 20 years. May all of you and anyone in the comments here find peace that our loved ones are at rest and no longer struggling with their addictions.
sorry to hear that man
I cant even imagine, im sorry to hear that
Sad boy
I'm sorry he passed he's still watching over you set back listen to music it helps
I feel for your loss my friend. I was one of the lucky ones. I fought an almost 20 year battle with opiates and cocaine. When my ex got pregnant with my daughter, it changed me. I had a purpose now. I quit cocaine and several opiates cold turkey. I almost died but refused treatment. I was gonna do this on my own or die trying. I won the war! Im still here and clean over a decade. You (anyone reading) can do it too. You're stronger than you think. Through the pain and vomiting and sweating and praying for death, i was empowered. Fight for what you believe in as hard as you fought for your fix and never give up. You may slip, but progress is progress. My heart goes out to you, all of you... my prayers go to your brother
My cousin committed suicide 4 years ago, at the age of 14, I used to listen to this song in her memory as I felt closer to her whenever this song was on.
Yesterday her lil sister (my cousin) too committed suicide at the same age. She had been on ventilator for 10 days & yesterday when I was listening this song my mum told me that she’s passed on...
This song holds so much more meaning now than it did before!
It gave me strength 4 years ago when I was battling depression & has helped me to overcome my struggles & my demons.
Thank you A7X for this masterpiece, I can truly understand & feel your loss!
I hope it will give you strength now, too!
Rest in peace beloved cousins 🖤

Hi
My father unexpectedly died two days ago, he just fell down in the morning. He was 48 years old, he was my best friend. I'm 15 , my sister is 13 and my brother is 10. I have no idea what to do without him, he was my best friend we always listened to metal in the car and our favorite songs were 'Afterlife', 'Bat Country' , 'Buried Alive' and 'A Little Piece Of heaven'. I miss you so much daddy. So Far Away and Afterlife will be played at his funeral
be strong my friend, i don't know what it's like to have a good relationship with dad but i know it must be hard to lose one, everything will be fine and one day your dreams will come true and your dad will be very proud of you, just be strong, if you need read this all night if it makes you better (im Brazilian, so sorry for my bad english)
@@mauriliofreitas4229 thank you very much, that truly means a lot to me.💗 (My English isn’t the best either i’m from Belgium)
Im so sorry for you. Stay strong for yourself , for your father , for your family even if everything seems so senseless and heavy . stay strong i think he would be proud of you .
Sorry for your loss, keep him in your memories and any little thing he said to you or taught you - don’t let him down. Every day he’s on that other frequency enjoying the views of you growing.
@@Tarantula1522 thank you 🙏🏼❤️
damn. reading everyone's comments of losing loved ones, is really heart wrenching. my love goes out to all of you. i sent this song to my bestest friend of 30yrs, we were happy and silly together, and now i don't even know if she is still alive. she is a heroin addict now, from a broken heart. it hurts my soul to know this. she IS so far away, and i can't help her, i don't know what to do
Bring her to a rehab dude. I beg you. It's a chance to save her life. I know you can do it:)
My uncle died of heroin OD
Vortex thank you so much, i have been in contact with her through this, it's been 2years that i've known of it. she lives in Seattle and i live in Az. i can only be there for her on my phone long distance. TY so much for even giving a shite. TY
Ibnu Fasya i wish it could be that easy. we live 1500 miles away from each other. it breaks my heart so much. i hope i can see her before the end of the year. ty for caring. for real, TY 🤘
My dad just passed, and I just found myself here at this song. Sitting on my deck trying to process everything, starting up at the night sky. Probably the thousandth time I've heard this song, but it hit me a whole lot harder tonight. It brought me tears, but also peace, it made me feel as close to him as I could get now.
Im really sorry to hear that. Just remember that he is with you no matter what,and I hope youll be okay!
Sorry for your loss😢❤
My deepest condolences!
This song is so old but like you said, it doesn’t hit you until this song is actually relatable.
When I lost my grandma, I finally FELT the lyrics to this song.
It’s so beautiful❤️
Stay strong!
🙏👌
💔💔 I'm so very sorry 💔💔
Setiap mendengar lagu ini, dada selalu terasa sesak karna lagu ini mengingatkan kita kepada orang yang kita sayang yang telah pergi lebih dulu meninggalkan kita untuk menghadap Tuhan
I used to listen to this song as an edgy teenager. Back then I had no reason to be so sad.. later in life, at 28 this song is all too relatable. Here's to those still struggling with grief! Keep fighting! Share the light your loved ones left behind for the rest of your days.. do it with pride! Don't let the sadness consume you, your loved ones do not want you here suffering without them - they'd want you taking advantage of every last day you have here. Much love!
thank you so much, saved a life.

@@MrJwolf989 I'm on 11 close friends and family that have passed in 10yrs ,my daughter 2nd wife. Parents , the darkness is very dark. Before I laid on an operating table being told that I needed to do the end of life stuff wills and so forth. 30 days waiting for surgery because of aids I gave my own blood. As I awoke from the intense pain in sicu ,,,hoses everywhere, a machine keeping me alive ,,was an experience few will go thur. I had survived. As bad as that felt my daughters death hurts more. 💔 and now my wife's passing. I was there next to her as she passed on. Life ain't easy but I believe I've survived all this and more because I had a purpose. Just not sure what that is now 10yrs later. Alone now taking baby steps. Bloody from the punches of life. Dizzy from being knocked down repeatedly. I stand again
Great comment.

My deepest condolences 🙏
Speaking from personal experience, I lost my great grandmother, she was my sort of mother figure.
These wounds don't heal quickly. You'll first be numb, then bawl your eyes out in remorse & in grief, then it hits a little less but the burden will carry for quite a while, years even before it becomes a twinge.
Losing family is never easy, cherish the memories. Do what you can to honor them, but always go through the process of grief in its full extent.

Patience bro, here we reflect together while listening to this beautiful song

You can see him pouring so much into his part 😭
I got to see A7X in concert for the first time in my life last year and the way they still pay homage to Jimmy, talk about him and play this song was my favorite thing I have ever experienced.
My father passed away 1 week ago and this song has always been a favorite of mine from Avenged Sevenfold because it really speaks to me but now that the one person I was the closest to is really gone, it hits me so much harder now. I’ve listened to this song for the past hour on repeat just breaking down crying in tears while my cat tries to comfort me, still crying while typing this comment. R.I.P. Carl Ray Lewis II aka Dad (January 24th, 1970-March 6th, 2023) you mean the world to me and I’m so sad and feel so depressed that I had to lose you so suddenly. We did so much together in our lives and we never got to watch the season finale of The Last of Us together but our final night together was wonderful but I never really got to say goodbye… I could have as I watched your body get carried out of our house on a stretcher by the funeral home folks but I didn’t have it in me to see you like that and the awful things I saw on that day will haunt me for the rest of my life… at least wherever you are now you’re no longer suffering and I hope that I get to see you again in another life and I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t do anything to save you…
Hang in there bud we're here for you 🙏🏼 God bless you and your family during these tough times!
I know exactly how you feel, just be strong.. I lost my dad in 2008..only difference, that haunted me is that I was arguing with him and mom about stupid car on the day he went to hospital, because me, young spoiled idiot wanted to go somewhere in the same time, and made a stupid scene about it, he actually didn't even responded, only mom was yelling at me, I wasn't aware how seriously he was ill, and that he'll never come home again.. he was a strong man, everything was so shocking, my whole world fell apart and change, and I never fully recover.. not to mention that we had a great life, financially free while he was alive, but after became poor to this day.. you at least had great last night with your old man, nice memories .. from time to time I love to listen song Black by Pearl Jam, very emotional and powerful song... I wish you and yours all the best
my condolences.... I'm pretty sure he is happy wherever he is, take care brother
I'm sorry for your loss brother, I've been there and the pain never goes away but it does get easier over time. Man this song hits me very hard, I lost my mom in January of 2018 and that was the worst day/year of my life.
Her name was Kim and she was my best friend, we survived a lot of hardship together and we had a special relationship. This song makes me cry every time because it reminds me of her, I miss her with all my heart. RIP Mom, I love you 🙏❤ And RIP to your father Carl 🙏❤
This comment got me to cry for the first time since my grandmother passed 4 years ago, and I know the words of a stranger you can’t even make eye contact with right now don’t really matter,but friend don’t spend the rest of your life mourning the dead but instead celebrate the lives they lived
Lost a brother today. I was singing this song to myself early in thought, and it was the first song to pop up on my feed. Rest in peace, Sedryck.

One night, he shouted my name from the upstair. I afraid he would be mad to me for something. He shouted my name again. I slowly climbing those stair hoping everything was good. Nervously entering his room and there he was, sitting on the floor with his blue ocean guitar. " Hey come here, lets sing a song together!". He shouted my name using his highest pitch not to be mad, but to spend time on that last night singing to this song. We spend all night singing happily & vibing like there's no tomorrow for us.
" You know, this song is about this bands' drummer who already passed away." He said. But he never know that just a few weeks later he passed away too.

My cousin committed suicide a few days ago. Avenged Sevenfold was one of her favorite bands, and she was the one who introduced me to them when I was a teenager. I now have the death bat tattooed on my back, which she was there for. She took me to my first concert: Avenged Sevenfold at Taste of Chaos. We both found out about The Rev's death at the same time and mourned together. I cried watching this video, thinking of how much you loved The Rev. Thank you, A7X, for writing such beautiful, meaningful music that is loved and cherished by so many.
I hope your cousin is meeting Jimmy in heaven, amen dude.

Ohh gosh. That’s so sad. My heart, thoughts & prayers going out to you, & the rest of his friends & family. 🙏💗
Its been 15 years without The Rev😢
And yet the song still hits just as hard now as it did back in the day, RIP Jimmy
I lost one of my best friends about 2 or 3 months back to suicide, He was honestly like a older brother to me, We were both really into Avenged Sevenfold. We used to watch all the concerts and live stuff, listened to albums all the way through to the end too many times to count, and I even bought a guitar to play their stuff (he played drums and I play guitar) We'd play all their songs all the time, The Rev was his idol and mine, Every time I hear this song I end up crying. But my god it's a master piece.. Rest in peace Clyde.. I hope your playing drums with The Rev now..
I'm so sorry for your loss 💜 I lost my lifelong best friend to suicide in December of 2021 and don't think I have listened to this song a single time since then without crying. Even before that it would make me cry sometimes to see all the clips of Synyster Gates and the Rev showing each other so much love and how sad Syn looks without him. This song was actually written (both lyrics and music, if I'm not mistaken) by Syn for the Rev, they loved each other so much and had a special bond. As sad as it is, it's also fitting for you as you're a guitarist and your best friend was a drummer 💜 Please take care and be patient and kind to yourself as you grieve and heal. Sending big hugs from Australia xx
Sinto muito por sua perda, um dia vocês ainda irão se encontrar novamente, tem que tentar ser forte e seguir em frente porque a vida continua👍

A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains
But it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you, when He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away (so far)
And I need you to know
So far away (so far)
And I need you to, need you to know
THANKSS ::))
Thanks for putting up the lyrics ❤
15 years now. We still miss you Rev.
this isn't just any song, this a part of all of us here. all of us have backstories about this song and what it means to us. all love
Ali Nadhim very true this not only connects us with the Rev but anyone lost in our lives may they rest in peace

How much time did this comet take
Everyone has their song that helps them deal with their pain…this one is mine. I lost my father to cancer at the age of 12…I’m now 38. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him. I always wonder if I turned into the man he would have wanted. Being a grown man with a wife and 3 kids…I don’t take life for granted. I miss you dad….
so sorry for your loss, i’m sure your dad would be proud of who you are today❤️
😢so sorry for your loss. I felt this in my soul. Lost my dad to cancer too. He’s there with you, proud! 💪🏻😭
Not A day goes by that we will always have them in Our thoughts, dearly loved, Never Ever iz A BEAUTIFUL
HEART
FORGOTTEN💔
CHERISHED❤️ PRAYERS 🤍 to U ALL 🙏❤️💚🤍🕊️🤍💜❤️💜❤️💜🤍
you sure have Dave, don't ever doubt it.
Dakota take care of the ones you love that are here! The ones you loved are so far away AKA heaven-God got them!
These guys genuinely mean the world to me, and I'll never forget when Jimmy passed. I have to come back to this video every year on the anniversary. I've lost people very close to me in the last 15 years, so I can't even fathom the amount of strength it took to make this album with how much pain they were in. So much love and respect for them 💜 Jimmy was so beloved, I can only hope he knows how treasured he still is after all this time.
11 years passed. Since then, I pour out a little liquor for him on this day. Rest in Power
Am.pouring some for the rev Rip sevenfoldism
I had a drink for him the other day!
I’ve been reading the comment section.. and wow. I’m really sorry for all your losses.. my deepest condolences to every family and friends feeling down and missing their loved ones. I’m really really sorry. Sadly the coronavirus is taking away loved ones from everywhere. I really hate this situation we are in. We have to tell those loved ones how much we love them, before it’s too late. I know that if you weren’t able to tell them, they left this earth knowing you do no matter if you couldn’t be able to tell them in time. They know.
Thank you bro I’m 14 and lost my dad in February means a lot bro but don’t worry I had the best dad ever he had little but made so much I miss you daddy until we meet again my father love u rest easy pops ❤️❤️

*gasp* HES FINALLY COMING BACK FROM THE WOODS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This comment reminds me that I've been following A7x for more than 10 years... time flew so fast.
Keren abis pokoknya...
RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, now the day It's been a 15 years that u got passed away, i'll remember u foREVer 🖤🕊🥁😌
I lost one of my childhood friend today. He died of corona.. His name was 'Rashed'.. It's sad how I said 'his name was' instead of 'his name is'.. After mourning awhile I came here to listen to this song..Hell yeah! We used to ride bicycles & explore places when we were like 14-15.. Now we are 25. I don't know why but today I feel every scream, every node, chords of this song. Maybe I'm just being too emotional. All the memories, moments we had. Now I guess I'll have to just remember 'em from time to time. Rest in peace my friend.. Will you stay away forever?
R.I.P Rashed, and he will be near to you!!!
be strong bro
stay strong dude. RIP Rashed. 🙏
i am sorry that your childhood friend died just remember all the good times you both had and cherish em forever
Stay strong, one day, maybe you'll see him again my friend.
My mother died 5 days ago
Following my father
This song is really touching
Not just for jimmy
But for everyone, who lost a loved one
I’m sorry for your loss. May God be with you friend. And your parents.
Remeber feels like shit 😓
I’m sorry man I know what it’s like, I lost my stepdad a month ago and i still hurts,these songs been helping a lot tho(I’m not religious) but I hope god is with you and your parents
Prayers for you ❤️
Agree 100 percent
We're in the half of 2020 and this song still touches anyone who hear it.
All respect for u, The Rev. R.I.P
the heavy?
João Pedro also will always touches everytime
Antonio Gonzalez The Hev lol. Had to be autocorrect, but that still made me laugh. I needed that levity today lol
I truly believe a7x can make a sick ass country album
I liked this song when it came out.
Then I lost the love of my life, my wife for 20 years, to cancer a few months ago. Now it’s one of the only songs that’s keeping me breathing.
Don't ever give up brother, take care of yourself
Sorry about that... hope u the best
Remember to cry. It's the purest form of emotion that a man can find.
hang in there brother
So sorry to hear this I just wrote how I lost my older brother right after my wedding in 05 I feel your pain. Cancer sucks God bless
It’s been years since a close friend of mine died….I ended up missing the funeral cause I ended up seeing the grave first (got a bit lost) but I remember her mum messaging me for songs to play at the funeral and this was the only one I could think of….it’s about the only song that can bring me to the brink of tears
Tona Sarrin. I’m so sorry. Hope you’re better these days. Sending positive vibes
@@hawkeye4324 I’m…something these days but can’t say better
Not gonna say I know how that feels like, but I hope you find the strength to push past it eventually and get better. I'm pretty sure she valued you a lot and would want you to.
Stay strong
Accept my condolences. To some extent, I lost a lot of things and continue to do so. And I imagine how you wake up every day like a boulder on your back, being shackled. I hope that all who are suffering now will find happiness. And I hope that you have people who will support you.
One of these songs that cope with my sadness. Bad memories in school, and still going on: Toxicity by my classmates when being very popular at school (especially previous toxicities by graduates), fear that i won't access to university, jealousies, being ignored by my classmates in events (collaboration with this year's seniors), and a lot to explain. Being heartbroken at school, thanks to avenged sevenfold for this song. Also rip rev 15 years since he died💔.
This song has made me cry every time I’ve heard it for the last 10 years after my best friend died of cancer. Today while playing it, it turned from sadness into anger for the 1st time. I think it’s anger for the fact that his grave stone was a wooden cross that rotted away and is no longer there. Anger that I can no longer visit his grave. His family made so much money off of his death. New giant house, new massive swimming pool they had built, and he doesn’t even have a marked grave. I miss you so much Caleb
awe man ... yes feel for ya to, I've lost a lot to the dam drugs ... and some
Rest In Peace, Caleb
Mark the grave… he deserves it
He's watching over you
I would put a new cross, if i knew where he rests. Same with my uncle, may allah approve of him
RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (1981-2009) and also RIP to my dad (1971-2009)
So sorry for your loss...
❤💙
You're dad's not gone. He lived just long enough for his wisdom to continue in you. You do him proud remembering him.
Ok
i also lost my dad he is a magician, and he just dissapeard.
"Don't be sad he died,
Be glad he was born"
What theory
And Freddie Mercury said "I sometimes wish I've never been born at all " question of perspective i guess.
Amen, and God Bless. Rejoice in the life lived.
"Don't be aad if ita end, glad because its happening"
Sadness is a natural part of grief and the only way to not grieve over losing something important to you is to discard your emotions. So I wouldn't recommend it.
time flies so quickly😢
For real 😔
Its just crazy how things you heard a million times can take on new meaning in an instant. I lost my father and both of his parents within a year of each other and I've just kind of been going through the motions. Then I heard this again and read some of the comments. Gives me hope knowing there are so many people dealing with similar issues. Much love
SORRY FOR YOU LOSS
Rip
🙏🏻
This song is really important because it's pretty universal. Something which everyone can relate to. True musicianship is about being able to transfer your experiences, feelings and thoughts into your music and lyrics. Nowadays literally %99 of the songs coming out are about sleeping with someone accidentally or intentionally, falling in love, raping etc.
Very Truth!
one reason I love rock is they are good and putting real life emotions and situations in a way that hits the soul!
Çok doğru demişsin kardo
what you describe sounds pretty universal
trap,regeton....🤮🤮🤮🤮
11 years has gone by, we fckin miss u, rev.

:(((((((
Even 10 years later, this song still hits hard to the heart.
I'm here too man such a good song
im glad i found this song today:)
That’s because of how beautiful it is and how it is made for someone close to them so maybe it is triggering something inside you making you feel that way
@@sompannhavuth2602 me too.
I'm sorry for your loss. I think music like this is therapeutic when we are still in shock and even after when we lose someone. Sometimes we don't have words to explain our pain but songs like this do and it helps us in times we need it most. May your loved one rest in peace and live in your heart forever
Kangen the Rev😢😢
Apa cmn gw fans A7x dri Indonesia
*A message to the future generations:*
_Don't let this song die._
Never mate.❤🎉🤘
I hope UA-cam is eventually judged to be historical content.
The 80 year old building will eventually crumble, or be replaced.
But UA-cam (seriously), is a collection of humanity. There have got to be billions of hours of humanity on here. Forget the ads, the controversies, forget Google (who is probably the Planetary Government in 2060). This is who we were. Who we are.

He made a beast of himself and got rid of the pain of being a man.
R.I.P The Rev 🥹
It's been 8 years since Rev's death but here in 2018 it affects me just as much now listening to this song. Just over 7 months ago I lost my old man so I know the anger, sadness, and wish to go back to better times that stems from the loss of a loved one. May all those who've passed on rest in peace!
Paul Meyer I lost my dad in 2010 as well, he misses my 18th birthday, my graduation, and the night he passed away I told him I hated him... . We have to live on for those we love, regardless of the bad. Sorry for your loss.
Paul Meyer listen to nightmare by a7x
Paul Meyer me too my great grandma died I woke up to hearing that she had died and it was last year

Dauntless light he know you loved him :)

@@saudalarfaj88 yea he passed away in 2009
The most beautiful things in life are born out of human connections, cherish your loved ones folks 🙏
I just lost my grandfather early this morning and I was told that all he wanted to do was see his grandchildren. I went to see him, but he was halfway gone and in pain. Now he's no longer in pain and i just hope and wish that he heard me tell him I love him.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family
Hugs
But why the hell you talking about it here?
Because I have that right to do so. If I wanna talk about it here I will. You don't have to comment on what I said. I've already talked to my family about it.
god bless you🙏
Happy birthday to my angel. We all miss you Rev ❤
