    Music & Lyrics by Jon Barker.
    A son rarely tells his Father How he really feels,
    A handshake or a pat on the back Is all that he reveals,
    I'd like to right that wrong,
    Here in this little song.
    Thank you for shaping my life,
    Thank you for teaching me all you can,
    You are no ordinary man,
    You make me everything I am.
    Thank you for taking the time,
    Thank you for showing me the way,
    And thank you for being thereWhen I need you,
    Thank you for every single day.
    Now I've been blessed with a son of my own,
    Got my own bedtime stories to tell,
    If I can raise him half as wellAs you raised me,
    Guess I'll be doing pretty well.
    Thank you for your guiding hand,
    Thank you for making my dreams come true,
    You're an extraordinary man,
    And I hope you're as proud of me
    As I am proud of you.
    Thank you for giving me life,
    Thank you for showing me good from bad
    .I guess I'm only really trying to say,
    Thank you for being my Dad.
    Even though the years drift away, I
    never took the time just to say,
    'I love you, and I always have,
    And thank you for being my Dad.'
    'Thank you for being my Dad.'

    It's been 60 years since my Daddy died. I'm retired now from being an airline pilot... I've got eight grandkids. Ive been a bear, wild boar and deer hunter, and a skydiver. Yet the pain is as strong today as it was so long ago. Never think that a big, strong man can't or shouldn't cry.

      Kind of Similar story:
      Dad died in 2004. I’m 22 years old his dream and my dream was to make me a Pilot. 19 years since then. Still remember when he asked son what you want to become when you grow old I said a Pilot. My dream got crushed. You know how people start using you when they know you’re Invulnerable. I just hope someday I can make his dream come true. Aww man sometimes I can’t hold back my own tears. Just wishes to see him in heaven if I can get to heaven.

    Like so many here, my father has also passed. To any younger folks here: Your parents won't be here forever. Make sure they know you love them, through your actions and your words as well. And while mothers often get their deserved credit, don't forget about daddy. He has fought more battles for you than he told you about.

      Very true!! My daddy died yesterday and that is exactly what I keep repeating cause he thaught us so many things except how to continue to live without him. I just cant and don't know how to live without him. He was such an awesome father , such a perfect person. He just didn't deserve to go out the way he did with this damn f***en covid. He was one of the first to get fully vacinated and so strictly cautious about it. Took a seriously from the start and wouldn't go out anywhere that wasn't absolutely necessary with 💯 caution. Now we lost such a great amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and brother. We really lost a truly awesome, great and incredibly beyond surperb human being which no words could or ever be able to describe or express the type of person and rare unique soul we lost. Heaven needed an angel and GOD only takes the best!!! But I still can't push through this unbearable hurt feelings, this pain is way too much then I can handle.🙏💔😭💔😭🙏

    A son rarely tells his Father How he really feels,
    A handshake or a pat on the back is all that he reveals,
    I’d like to right that wrong,
    Here in this little song.
    Thank you for shaping my life,
    Thank you for teaching me all you can,
    You are no ordinary man,
    You make me everything I am.
    Thank you for taking the time,
    Thank you for showing me the way,
    And thank you for being there when I need you,
    Thank you for every single day.
    Now I’ve been blessed with a son of my own,
    Got my own bedtime stories to tell,
    If I can raise him half as well as you raised me,
    Guess I’ll be doing pretty well.
    Thank you for your guiding hand,
    Thank you for making my dreams come true,
    You’re an extraordinary man,
    And I hope you’re as proud of me
    As I am proud of you.
    Thank you for giving me life,
    Thank you for showing me good from bad.
    I guess I’m only really trying to say,
    Thank you for being my Dad.
    Even though the years drift away, I
    never took the time just to say,
    ‘I love you, and I always have,
    And thank you for being my Dad.’
    ‘Thank you for being my Dad.’

I am 51 years old now and the feelings of loss are just as strong now as they were when I was 17. I still shed a tear each time I think about him. I can only wish to become half the man that he was, then I will know that I've contributed something to this world before I die. Rest in peace always, Dad, until we meet again someday in Heaven!
    Thank you so much for this great song!

I didn’t prepare myself to see my father deteriorating & it was tough. I told him I love him the night before he died and he said it back. I miss hearing his voice. If you here and still have your Dad don’t take it for granted. Make memories. I had a wish that we got to do before he died and that was to attend a nfl football game together.

He had all the qualities a parent should have . They broke the mould when they made him and he guides me through put my kids I speak to him every day and find this comforting as I know he’s listening to me. I miss you so much Pops . No one couch ever fill your shoes . You were a fantastic husband and provider to my late mama who died many years before him . This song is dedicated to you . Pops .

    July 10th. The man who gave me the best life he could passed away. I remember trying to help my dad, his ex was refusing to let him see his daughter, causing him to start drinking again. He went missing sometime through the day and the next he was found dead. I'll never forget waking up that morning, concerned for my father, then later to have my life destroyed by words no one should have to hear. Everyday I miss him and I wish was here to help me get through my final years of school. He deserved better, he deserved to be with his daughter, he never deserved the pain his ex brought him. Thank you dad, thank you for helping me when I needed you most and I hope your proud of the young man you helped raise, I promise I'll make you proud.

    My dad passed away on Christmas Eve 2018. When I heard this song I knew it had to be played at his Celebration of Life. A beautiful song. It brings tears to my eyes.

      Do it man.... & tell him you love him. My dad and I never had a good relationship, but in the end, when he died. I could have been a much better son. & In the end, when I was too busy holding grudges to even speak to him, I never got the chance to tell him that regardless of everything. I loved him. so dont take y'alls relationship for granite. bc he could be gone tomorrow.
