Became a mother in 1991...she is 32 years old now. My precious gift. Single parenting is not for the faint of heart...but WE did it with God's help..💚💚💚
Yes we did , my son is now 24 with 6 years in the military & my baby girl 10 on her way to middle school this September🙌🏾. The man that I have in my life now love on & support my kids & I and I’m so thankful for him 🙏🏾
Feb. 5,1992 , I was 19 yrs.old, My daughter was 5 months old, and she passed away of whopping cough & spinal meningitis at her funeral my cousins song this song they changed it up some of the words would fit, as if what I was going through and miss it see her grow,it was like a letter i wrote to send her away and thanking her for the 5mos. We had, but I'm sad, and God gave us the time to meet. I play it, and it still stays in my mind, and it will never leave my heart💜 . Thanks For My Child. Lashelle Alatmise (LL🦋🌈🕊💜 ... @Cheryl Thank You 😊
So sorry you had to experience this! My son was 2 mos shy of his 34th bday & I ‘know he was one of the first to pass away from COVID!’ No matter what age they pass away at, no parent wants to/should bury their child! So again, I know your pain & PRAY FOR YOU ALWAYS!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!🙏🏽💯💐**.& my first grandchild was born Feb 05, 2008…. 💙
Yes in due time just pray on it because I had 4 boys and I don't regret not one of them me and my mother and my aunts on my father side helped me raise all 4 of them
I Have three boys. And I thank God for them everyday they really changed me. Never knew three little heartbeats calling me mom would make me change. So i keep pushing with the help of God I keep going. One day in due time my God will bless you with a child or children. Even if your heart has to adopt a child or children.... Do it its plenty children out there that need loving homes and parents. My dad always told me if its adoption or Biological if you raised that child nurtured that child gave that child on sick day bad days good days never left....... that child will still know Love and grow to love you. It's the heart. It will happen. I love this video. ❤❤❤God bless you❤❤
My son is 27 years old. I was a single mother. I had support from my parents. Thank goodness. 27 years later my son is an attorney. God is good. Single parents please stay faithful and don’t give up. Thanks for my child! My Blessing.
I don’t have kids yet and I’m 32 yrs old. My hubby and I have been trying for several years now and I can’t wait til God bless me with a beautiful healthy strong baby from my womb so I can tell him “THANKS FOR MY CHILD!!!”
MY MOTHER WAS SINGLE ND RASIED FIVE GURLS ALONE!!! ND SHE SANG THIS SONG TO ME ND MY SISTERS AS BABIES ND EVEN TIL THIS DAY ND WERE ALL GROWN WITH OUR OWN BABIES NOW!!!! Love u mama
So sorry to hear. I pray you find strength and peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who alone can heal your broken heart. Branden is with you in Spirit and is so proud of you because he now knows all that you did for him.
Ahmad Bryant That's so sweet because I remember when my momma sung this to me because she was 20 years old when I was born and it was like her lullaby to me in 1988 and now that I'm turning 30 this year I thank God for helping me grow into the woman I've become because of her.
I used to sit quietly in the back seat of the car listening to my mother sing this song with tears streaming down her face. I used to always wonder why this song made her so sad; a single mother of 3 by the age of 19. As the youngest and only girl, I am now 41 and can’t listen to this song without shedding my own tears for my mother now understanding all she went through and why this song hit her the way it did. We had a village and I never once went without but the strength it took to raise 3 children alone is a different superpower. And though I don’t have children of my own I’m an active aunt and would have it no other way! To all the single mothers out there, keep going!!!! Never give you, everything will be ok. May God cover you all and your beautiful children.
I had my daughter at 17. 38 years ago and now she has her PhD in psychology international doctor. She’s traveling the world changing the world saving lives. I have no regrets.
I love that last line so much that it almost brings tears to my eyes. "I carried you for nine months, and I'm going to carry you until you can carry yourself, on your own." I love you mom. And salute to all the real mothers
yes ain't nothing like a great mother unfortunately my mother has been gone for 30 years she was one of the great ones I love and miss you mommy always
I can remember after leaving my husband almost 4 years ago and not being able to listen to this song without breaking down in tears. I was so ashamed to become a single mother. Now, I still cry when I hear it but it's for an entirely different reason. We have not heard from him in 3 years and I am SO proud of myself for getting out of that marriage, and for the life I've created for us.
Key word is you had a husband, even if things didn’t work out. This song doesn’t apply to you. This song glorified teen pregnancy- you did more than the others in this comment section by trying to do it the right way -so you had nothing to be ashamed of
@@Proverbspsalms It definitely applies! Who the heck you're supposed to be? The song writers. This song applies if it relates in even the slightest bit. Even more so if it makes her emotional. Married or not she still ended up as did I like teen mothers or unwed mothers. It makes you realize you never know a person until they're outside of the home sometimes unfortunately. This song hits me just like it hits her. I hadn't seen your comment when I left her the praying hands. I wouldn't have even spoke on my own situation elaborating. I was surprised to see a relatable comment. For one because you feel like the ignorant statement you typed. Any body man or woman can become a single parent and not once did she single the lyrics out to reflect it for a reason. Nor did this song glorify teen pregnancy. Things happen and unfortunately that don't mean they too don't deserve support. I was very ashamed as well. Yes we did it different but you can comfort someone a better choice without implying this song glorified a problem in many communities. At the end of they day us married women and plenty unwed mothers both ended up with fatherless children.
@@niknicolec9847 you can’t seriously believe that I read past the first line of that.😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but if it makes you feel better to type something that nobody’s paying attention to- then good for you
This is the most underappreciated song of all time especially in the times we're living in when so many parents are burying their children"To all the mom's of the world you are the best Thank you"
Man...talk about a song touching your soul...When I found out my daughter wasn't biologically mines she was 4 years old...I love her so much that seeing as how I was the only Daddy she knew, I was going to stay the only Daddy she knows...Thanks for my child who's now 18 years old....Holla' baby...Daddy loves you....
Lord im in tears. I stay in an abusive relationship because i wanted my kids to have a father. When i pack us up and left it was the best thing. They reveled to me recently after 14 years that that day we left was the happiest day for them. They said they no longer wanted a dad. They said God is their Dad. Blood dont make a father. Cause mine Got mine and forgot them. So you my man is the "MEN" and your the reason why we need to celebeate Fathers more. Good JOB!!
I was 17 and pregnant in 1987 when my baby’s father left me for another girl so I was alone and pregnant and this song empowered me, I can safely say it was my anthem back then! He is now 36 years old and I’m 54 and after basically growing up together we have the most incredible bond, he is my best friend. We both carried each other through the toughest of times, and this song will always bring nonstop tears to my eyes!
I was 14 and pregnant I use to sing this to my belly all the time.. None of my family wanted me to have my baby but my father told me that we can do this so I kept my baby than 3 months later my father died and my child father stopped claiming me or my baby but this song got me thru it ..
My mom sing this to me and it’ll FOREVER BE IN BEDDED IN ME AND IM A GROWN ASS WOMAN NOW AND THIS SONG STILL HIT DIFFERENT ‼️‼️🙌🏽😍LOVE U MOM TILL THE DEATH OF ME FUCK MY FATHER ‼️‼️‼️
My daughter Versachia is my first born I remember singing this song to her while I was living on the street pregnant n my family wasn't supportive at all but when I told her thing that lead up to birth n me struggling to work 2 n 3 jobs to support us she did nothing but make me proud n graduate high school early attended college n now serving in the military to make herself strong like me she says n to make me proud! My daughter is my favorite flower still growing into a beautiful accomplished woman 👸🏽Mommy loves you Versachia Mahogany Legendary 🙌🏾👏🏾👩🏽⚖️

I used to sign this to my daughter when she was Born till she was like 5yrs old... Now she is having her sweet sixteen and we are dancing to it ... This song matches my story so well. I love it
I have to admit, the song "My Chil' Twerk Widdout No Daddy" is pretty touching. Especially when they get to the part where the child never needed a father to become a "trick ass ho". Brings a tear to my eye every time.
To all the ladies out there....there are men thst appreciate your sacrifice that your brung your kid up when the man wasn't around....we salute you ladies.
After I said happy mother's day to my mom today, she sent me this song saying this was her favorite song she dedicated to me when I was a toddler as a way of appreciating my presence into her life. I love you too mom. If it wasn't for your nurturing love I wouldn't be the man I am today. Long live my Queen 💓
I had fertility issues. Pregnant 10 years apart, both miscarriages 😢. All I wanted was to be a mom, deep down in my soul. It was aching. I got pregnant a year after my last miscarriage, and I made a vow to Jehovah if he let me carry to term I would make sure my son knew him. I had a boy in 2096 at 32. I kept my vow. I had the most easiest child to raise. Slept 8 hours or more like his mama😅, no sleepless night.. .we did however have the terrible 2's and 3's🤣. I homeschooled him and when he joined public school he was put up 1 grade, so he graduated a year early! He's 17 and an awesome guy. Thank you Jehovah for blessing me. Oh yeah his dad, he would win the Deadbeat Dad of the Century.
I was pregnant with my first born (of 5) when this song came out. That was 1988. My baby passed away Dec 25, 2020 in a car accident. 32 years is what I was blessed with. That day this song played in my head. I will carry them all until the day I die. The love and loss of a child - at any age - is the purest love and the most profound pain. I am surviving the one thing I was sure I couldn't - because of God. Thank You Lord. Thanks for my child.
2021! Forever saying🗣🎵 “ IM REALLY THANKING YOU..THE MAN ABOVE” for my 4 sons. 1991-2006 were some trying times. GOD got us through it ALL! Now I have 4 AMAZING, RESPECTFUL, SUCCESSFUL, INTELLIGENT, HUMBLE BLACK MEN🙌🏽.. I gotta TESTIMONY
WON'T HE DO IT?! I'm a mother of sons also. They're all decent men just like the men who raised me. And their father and I married but those guys tried to live up to my expectations. So nice to emeet you! 🌹
@@LuringLadyEXACTLY! I teach at an alternative middle school 6-8th grade. Students glorify being a single babies momma as if it's something to be proud of. I tell them to have a want/focus in life- college, trade school, business school or the military- not glamorizing pregnancy/prison. PRAYING FOR THIS GENERATION!
This is So Beautiful every time I listen to it it’s bring so many memories to me about mother hood and my own mama thank you for this song it is a A Big Blessing❤🙏❤️❤️♥️
I play this song every now and then. It helps me to remember the love and special bond I have with my children. My son 34 and my daughter 32. Both serving in the military. My son an E-7 my daughter a 2nd Lieutenant in the military , both have bachelor’s degree in business. They have made so proud. I tried my best to pass on the same fighting spirit my parents passed on to me. Love my babies. Alway hold your head up high and keep fighting. Never give up.
I’m dedicating this song again to my 35 year old daughter today, Friday, September 13, 2024 🎊🎉❤😘🙏 ! ‘ Thanks For My Child ‘ Cheryl ‘ Pepsii’ Riley 💕! I did carried her until she could’ve carried herself ❤👏 ! The goodness of God to me us 🙌 !
My mom and step-dad used to sing and play this song for me and my siblings all the time. And now I sing it to my baby boy in my tummy! Mommy loves you Jase
Wow... I remember hearing this as a baby and crying realizing this was gonna be MY reality. I cried everytime I heard this bc I wondered how I was gonna do this as a single parent. I’ll tell you how... fast forward 33 years later, my son is a grown ass MAN. I raised him to be the man I would have wanted for myself so I raised an educated man who will be an amazing husband and father. He is a family man who loves family but most of all God! He NEVER gave me ANY problems... ever. Doesn’t drink, has never done drugs, has never even said a cuss word in his life. He graduated from LBSU with honors with a film degree and now works at Warner Brothers as a film editor making more than double what I make. My baby boy just got engaged in Aug and is getting married in Puerto Rico next year. How did I get thru it? One day at a time and with Gods love, mercy and Grace! This song still makes me cry bc I was only 20 years old when I had him and I wish now I could go back and do it all over again bc thru it all there were so many good times that I miss. Now, I’ll just sit back until he gives me my first grand baby when I will get to do it all over again. It was hard, but, it wasn’t impossible. For those of u going THRU it, don’t give up, enjoy ur times with ur babies bc Gods for you!
That Year 1988 This Song Changed So Much. My Son Was Born And We Lost His Mother 3 Weeks Due To Complications Of His Birth. R.I.P. Michelle This Song Has 3 Parts And Its Incredibly Beautiful.
My mom loved Cheryl Pepsii Riley. She used to sing this song to me when I was a baby and almost every time I was said she sing it to me as an adult. Appreciate your mother, you only get one!
I remember this song when I had my first baby daughter. I sang this song to her cried because I was a single Mom & the daddy did run away free but another man came into my life when my daughter was 2yrs old & picked up where the other guy should have. We've been married for over 32 yrs. with 2 more children. Ages 37, 32, 31. God is great, life is great, love is everlasting. Believe you me what one man won't do, another one will gladly. Be Blessed. Keep the faith. Don't give up. Be the best version of yourself.
mamameya77 Mine too when I was 17 and the father ran and I am glad because I got to spend so much wonderful time all the way to a man when they begin helping you so the father misses out a lot of wonderful times and I was glad to receive them all
I dedicate this song to my baby boy Christopher Aden….He has autism He’s been a blessing in my life….He’s the reason I wanna live…He’s so smart and humble….He just turned 15 the other day…Happy birthday Aden love you so much my God bless you with many more 🎊 🎉🎈🎂🥳❤️💕❤️💕❤️
I bought this record when it first came out and I didn’t even have any children, I just thought it was a beautiful song! God knew that over a decade later this would be my story and I am forever thankful and proud of my daughter my Beautiful gift from God🙏🏽💕👑🙌🏽
Song bring back so many memories. To think I didn’t know how being a mother would turn out. Crying many nights, the struggle and strength to carry on. Well my first born is 26 and so far all my children are the dream I saw when I was hoping….
Today my son turned 19 years old. Oh weee!! 💕💕Words are small but if you could see my heart on today, you would know that I'm blessed. I'm overjoyed, God knew exactly the master plan, I'm just happy I was there to be aligned with it. I could tell you my whole life experience good, bad and Indifference, with my journey through life with my child. When God has his hand in it, it could never go wrong. Tears of joy rite now!! " Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
Me …. and crying after almost 35 years when I remember the denial !…. The pain I felt ! The rejection !!! … But God bought my child, who now a medical doctor and I through all !!! …. THANKS FOR MY CHILD who grew before my eyes 🎉❤. The love I have for my daughter is inside of me 😊!
All my kids know this song. I sang it to each child of mine and now when they hear it, they complete the song by saying we love you too mommy 💞 so blessed and I fell in love with this song before I even started having sex or kids, I just knew I wanted them❤
I love this song, I raised a son (now 34) and daughter (now 29) by myself, I'm thankful and proud of my babies who are now excellent parents . I am blessed.
I was just talking about this this morning.....my son came at the time I needed him in the exact way I needed him to.....even though I was conflicted when I found out I was pregnant because it didn't happen in the way I thought it was suppose to. And if it happened in the way I thought it should....there wouldn't be any real significance. He's a chain breaker! I tried to get pregnant for many years.....he finally came when I was 32.
I love this song I remember when I found out I was pregnant my oldest brother was so upset with me he said I would ruin my life but till this day my son is 20 and he make me a proud momma! I would never give up my child
Singing this as a child then turning 18 having my first born, I broke in tears because it was so real. For once a song where each word hit home. As a child hearing this song never thought it would be me relating to it. Sadly it was my reality so young in my life. 42 years old almost now and I’m still grateful hearing this. Three more kids since my eldest and I’m grateful ❤Thank you to my kids fathers and to God Almighty for each and every one of my kids ❤I Love You Lord✝️🙏🏾
AJ i miss you so much son every time i hear this song i cry like a baby .you are now my guardian angel yor life was stolen from you on 4/15/16 i will never be the same baby
I am in the same situation I lost my baby girl @ 24 years old... A pain that will never go away... I pray for all women who have lost a child all the time.. My Rae'Venne was stolen from me June 23, 2017 by someone she called her brother... I cry everyday for my baby... Now she is my GUARDIAN ANGEL... I use to sing this song to my babies all the time....
I thank God for my child. When God brought him into my life, I recommitted myself to God and have not stop since. Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ have used my son to motivate me to go back to school. I am truly thankful to God for my only child, my loving son. Thanks and glory be to God!
OMG this was the jam back in the days. You sang this from your heart even when you didn't have children... Love this song... I just went in full concert in my bedroom my kids looking at me like I'm bananas...
39 years old and I still can’t get through this song without tears. I was not raised by a single mom, but my parents were very young and my dad was in the Army and gone a lot. She used to sing this to me when I was little. One of my earliest memories.
This song is for both my Son & Daughter, Thanks For My Children They Are The Reasons I Go Hard For Them Being A Single Mom. I Will always love this song
I'm thankful for my daughters. We have had our good times and bad. I will always love them. No matter what. Because if it wasn't for those 3 my grandkids wouldn't be here. So thank you to my 3 daughters and the fathers of all my grandkids.
I was hit by an car at age 2.....Was told I'll never be able to have children.... but GOD....saw different.....I have an 17 and 14 year old.... GOD IS GOOD.....THIS MY SONG.... DEDICATED TO MY KIDZ.......KY AND DY😘
To my son's dad who denied him 24 years ago. When he finally DID try to be there, it was too late. Now MY son is headed to the NFL after having graduated college with TWO DEGREES. Womt HE do it!!! Im so proud of my baby and all h9s accomplishments. He had a man step in as his daddy and THAT'S who he respects and loves

Tears*
TheFallinOfficer971 I salute you
Lord im in tears. I stay in an abusive relationship because i wanted my kids to have a father. When i pack us up and left it was the best thing. They reveled to me recently after 14 years that that day we left was the happiest day for them. They said they no longer wanted a dad. They said God is their Dad. Blood dont make a father. Cause mine Got mine and forgot them. So you my man is the "MEN" and your the reason why we need to celebeate Fathers more. Good JOB!!
Sorry about the auto correct and errors, i was typing and balling my eyes out. Also, Its not giving me an option to edit.
A child is a gift never forget this!
I was 17 and pregnant in 1987 when my baby’s father left me for another girl so I was alone and pregnant and this song empowered me, I can safely say it was my anthem back then! He is now 36 years old and I’m 54 and after basically growing up together we have the most incredible bond, he is my best friend. We both carried each other through the toughest of times, and this song will always bring nonstop tears to my eyes!
This song got me through 25 years ago when my son was born. I was scared. However, he has always been and remains, my GREATEST JOY!
This song made me a better father. I was a single dad for 5 years. Best years of my life.
Not many can say that.. God Bless You and your family
I was 14 and pregnant I use to sing this to my belly all the time.. None of my family wanted me to have my baby but my father told me that we can do this so I kept my baby than 3 months later my father died and my child father stopped claiming me or my baby but this song got me thru it ..
Your father sounded like a good man.
Thats so sad omg 😭
I'm glad u kept your baby I'm sorry for your loss
How are you doing?
Are you ok?
So sorry for your loss,
Keep your head up hun and be strong for you and your child 😊👍
This song helped but the Lord Jesus saw you through He used this song as a avenue to lead you down the right "road"!!😇
Children are a blessing from God, thank you Jesus for my children

My daughter Versachia is my first born I remember singing this song to her while I was living on the street pregnant n my family wasn't supportive at all but when I told her thing that lead up to birth n me struggling to work 2 n 3 jobs to support us she did nothing but make me proud n graduate high school early attended college n now serving in the military to make herself strong like me she says n to make me proud! My daughter is my favorite flower still growing into a beautiful accomplished woman 👸🏽Mommy loves you Versachia Mahogany Legendary 🙌🏾👏🏾👩🏽⚖️

Give it up for Full Force for writing a beautiful song.
Yes, If I remember correctly, he wrote this song when his girlfriend miscarried their child. He was so heartbroken and wrote this song.
Can you prove this?
@@Mookaron he shared this information on one of the "Where Are They Now" shows like UNSUNG: ua-cam.com/video/7bFTq1O277E/v-deo.html
Actually Bowlegged Lou wrote this
@@GMANKOOL23 the group members are
B-Fine (Brian George) on drums and drum programming
Shy Shy (Junior Clark) on bass guitar
Paul Anthony (Paul Anthony George) - vocals
Bow-Legged Lou (Lucien George Jr.) - vocals

I used to sign this to my daughter when she was Born till she was like 5yrs old... Now she is having her sweet sixteen and we are dancing to it ... This song matches my story so well. I love it
iris Caraballo you think she will have a sweet 17!!
aww that was sweet i know it was tears
U mean sing lol
No you didn’t
Nobody writes and sings beautiful songs like this anymore. Now its all about twerking.
Dont be surprised that somebody will still try to twerk to this.... smdh
Full Force wrote it.
***** Yeah, But Other Than That She Wrote The Majority Of Her Other Songs.
I have to admit, the song "My Chil' Twerk Widdout No Daddy" is pretty touching. Especially when they get to the part where the child never needed a father to become a "trick ass ho". Brings a tear to my eye every time.
@@raym.778 youre a sad person. I'ma pray for you
To all the ladies out there....there are men thst appreciate your sacrifice that your brung your kid up when the man wasn't around....we salute you ladies.
It takes a strong woman to go through something like this to get through it the best way possible being a single parent. Beautiful song.
How can there be dislikes on this song, Smh this song is so pure...
It's everything. The vocals are beautiful.
It only tells one side of the story..so I can see why there are dislikes.
Just like any other song some like it some don't tf
After I said happy mother's day to my mom today, she sent me this song saying this was her favorite song she dedicated to me when I was a toddler as a way of appreciating my presence into her life. I love you too mom. If it wasn't for your nurturing love I wouldn't be the man I am today. Long live my Queen 💓
Much respect my brother
Made me a little teary eyed❤
I had fertility issues. Pregnant 10 years apart, both miscarriages 😢. All I wanted was to be a mom, deep down in my soul. It was aching. I got pregnant a year after my last miscarriage, and I made a vow to Jehovah if he let me carry to term I would make sure my son knew him. I had a boy in 2096 at 32. I kept my vow. I had the most easiest child to raise. Slept 8 hours or more like his mama😅, no sleepless night.. .we did however have the terrible 2's and 3's🤣. I homeschooled him and when he joined public school he was put up 1 grade, so he graduated a year early! He's 17 and an awesome guy. Thank you Jehovah for blessing me. Oh yeah his dad, he would win the Deadbeat Dad of the Century.
What you mean 2096?? That's not possible
I was pregnant with my first born (of 5) when this song came out. That was 1988. My baby passed away Dec 25, 2020 in a car accident. 32 years is what I was blessed with. That day this song played in my head. I will carry them all until the day I die. The love and loss of a child - at any age - is the purest love and the most profound pain. I am surviving the one thing I was sure I couldn't - because of God. Thank You Lord. Thanks for my child.
As a single mother, I’m so thankful for my daughter. Thanks for pushing me to become the woman I am today
2021! Forever saying🗣🎵 “ IM REALLY THANKING YOU..THE MAN ABOVE” for my 4 sons. 1991-2006 were some trying times. GOD got us through it ALL! Now I have 4 AMAZING, RESPECTFUL, SUCCESSFUL, INTELLIGENT, HUMBLE BLACK MEN🙌🏽.. I gotta TESTIMONY
WON'T HE DO IT?!
I'm a mother of sons also.
They're all decent men just like the men who raised me.
And their father and I married but those guys tried to live up to my expectations.
So nice to emeet you!

For all the strong single MOTHERS out there HOLDING IT DOWN!!
Fa sho!
Thank you so much
What about the NOT single mothers? Yall salute single motherhood as if women are supposed to set out to be single mothers.
@@LuringLadyEXACTLY! I teach at an alternative middle school 6-8th grade. Students glorify being a single babies momma as if it's something to be proud of. I tell them to have a want/focus in life- college, trade school, business school or the military- not glamorizing pregnancy/prison. PRAYING FOR THIS GENERATION!
❤❤❤
I'll stay and watch you grow.
Lord, NO words 😭😭😭😭
Proud Mommy of 3😙😙😙....1 girl 💖 & twinboys💙💙! THEY are my reason for living! #thanks4mychildren💖💙💙
No Bitterness, No Hate, Best blessing Ever my Sons!!!
I had my oldest at 19yrs. He came into my life at the right time. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
This child hits home. I am a 33 year old single mother of two and this song brings tears to my eyes
This is So Beautiful every time I listen to it it’s bring so many memories to me about mother hood and my own mama thank you for this song it is a A Big Blessing❤🙏❤️❤️♥️
I play this song every now and then. It helps me to remember the love and special bond I have with my children. My son 34 and my daughter 32. Both serving in the military. My son an E-7 my daughter a 2nd Lieutenant in the military , both have bachelor’s degree in business. They have made so proud. I tried my best to pass on the same fighting spirit my parents passed on to me. Love my babies. Alway hold your head up high and keep fighting. Never give up.
I’m dedicating this song again to my 35 year old daughter today, Friday, September 13, 2024 🎊🎉❤😘🙏 !
‘ Thanks For My Child ‘ Cheryl ‘ Pepsii’ Riley 💕!
I did carried her until she could’ve carried herself ❤👏 ! The goodness of God to me us 🙌 !
This my song right here. My Mom used to sing this to us in the 80's 💯🙏🏾♥️
My mom and step-dad used to sing and play this song for me and my siblings all the time. And now I sing it to my baby boy in my tummy! Mommy loves you Jase
My mother use to always sing this to me as a kid still sends tears to me till this day ❤ I love my mother so much
My mom also sung this to me as a baby.
Wow... I remember hearing this as a baby and crying realizing this was gonna be MY reality. I cried everytime I heard this bc I wondered how I was gonna do this as a single parent. I’ll tell you how... fast forward 33 years later, my son is a grown ass MAN. I raised him to be the man I would have wanted for myself so I raised an educated man who will be an amazing husband and father. He is a family man who loves family but most of all God! He NEVER gave me ANY problems... ever. Doesn’t drink, has never done drugs, has never even said a cuss word in his life. He graduated from LBSU with honors with a film degree and now works at Warner Brothers as a film editor making more than double what I make. My baby boy just got engaged in Aug and is getting married in Puerto Rico next year. How did I get thru it? One day at a time and with Gods love, mercy and Grace! This song still makes me cry bc I was only 20 years old when I had him and I wish now I could go back and do it all over again bc thru it all there were so many good times that I miss. Now, I’ll just sit back until he gives me my first grand baby when I will get to do it all over again. It was hard, but, it wasn’t impossible. For those of u going THRU it, don’t give up, enjoy ur times with ur babies bc Gods for you!
That Year 1988 This Song Changed So Much. My Son Was Born And We Lost His Mother 3 Weeks Due To Complications Of His Birth. R.I.P. Michelle
This Song Has 3 Parts And Its Incredibly Beautiful.
How are you and your son doing?
@@janellirving4625 We Are Doing Well Thank You. I Have 2 Beautiful Grand Daughters 12 & 4.
@@janellirving4625 Doing Very Well Thank You. He Has 2 Daughters Doing Well
I carried you for nine months...
And I’m gonna carry you
Until you can carry yourself on your own. ❤️
My mom loved Cheryl Pepsii Riley. She used to sing this song to me when I was a baby and almost every time I was said she sing it to me as an adult. Appreciate your mother, you only get one!
This song still makes me cry. I just bawled my eyes out...❤
I have adopted so many niece's and nephews?!! Because of the love and concern that God has put into me through my mother and father and grandmother
I remember this song when I had my first baby daughter. I sang this song to her cried because I was a single Mom & the daddy did run away free but another man came into my life when my daughter was 2yrs old & picked up where the other guy should have. We've been married for over 32 yrs. with 2 more children. Ages 37, 32, 31. God is great, life is great, love is everlasting. Believe you me what one man won't do, another one will gladly. Be Blessed. Keep the faith. Don't give up. Be the best version of yourself.
My son truly saved my life Thank you Dannell Jr thanks for me choosing me to be your mother....I now know what TRUE LOVE IS THANKS TO MY SON💕💕💕
mamameya77 wish i can say same thing my son left me for Becky with the gud hair.never been back to me unless. he was cheatn on becky😂
mamameya77 Mine too when I was 17 and the father ran and I am glad because I got to spend so much wonderful time all the way to a man when they begin helping you so the father misses out a lot of wonderful times and I was glad to receive them all
My son's 25yrs.old I want to be like him when I grow up..😄😄

What a gift God has given you in your son 🎁 your a blessed woman 💐
I bought this record when it first came out and I didn’t even have any children, I just thought it was a beautiful song! God knew that over a decade later this would be my story and I am forever thankful and proud of my daughter my Beautiful gift from God🙏🏽💕👑🙌🏽
Heard this song for the first time today. Can't listen to it without crying. Hope my mom thinks of me when she hears this song...
Song bring back so many memories. To think I didn’t know how being a mother would turn out. Crying many nights, the struggle and strength to carry on. Well my first born is 26 and so far all my children are the dream I saw when I was hoping….
My mom would sing this song to me every other day I will forever cherish this song ❤🥰
At 37 I used to sing this song to my daughter.
Can't believe this song only has 1m views. I don't even have a child but i can feel the emotions in this beautiful song
This song makes me cry each and every time I hear it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Today my son turned 19 years old. Oh weee!! 💕💕Words are small but if you could see my heart on today, you would know that I'm blessed. I'm overjoyed, God knew exactly the master plan, I'm just happy I was there to be aligned with it. I could tell you my whole life experience good, bad and Indifference, with my journey through life with my child. When God has his hand in it, it could never go wrong. Tears of joy rite now!! " Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
Who’s listening in 2024❤
Because it's Mother weekend 2024
Me …. and crying after almost 35 years when I remember the denial !…. The pain I felt ! The rejection !!! … But God bought my child, who now a medical doctor and I through all !!! …. THANKS FOR MY CHILD who grew before my eyes 🎉❤. The love I have for my daughter is inside of me 😊!
Me definitely
All my kids know this song. I sang it to each child of mine and now when they hear it, they complete the song by saying we love you too mommy 💞 so blessed and I fell in love with this song before I even started having sex or kids, I just knew I wanted them❤
Me put my baby to sleep to this song now ❤
I love this song, I raised a son (now 34) and daughter (now 29) by myself, I'm thankful and proud of my babies who are now excellent parents . I am blessed.
I was just talking about this this morning.....my son came at the time I needed him in the exact way I needed him to.....even though I was conflicted when I found out I was pregnant because it didn't happen in the way I thought it was suppose to. And if it happened in the way I thought it should....there wouldn't be any real significance. He's a chain breaker! I tried to get pregnant for many years.....he finally came when I was 32.
1988!!! Can't believe the song is 30 years old! And my oldest daughter is 32, I used to sing this to her at bedtime.
We have to let our kids know they're loved and appreciated no matter what. Even if you have none it's the little thing that counts in the end.
We need more recognition of subtle and not so subtle abuse of children. They are so precious. What a gorgeous little boy.
I love this song I remember when I found out I was pregnant my oldest brother was so upset with me he said I would ruin my life but till this day my son is 20 and he make me a proud momma! I would never give up my child
I crying how good that song is 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wooow I miss music like this you have good songs today but it just doesn't hit like the oldies 😊❤
I loved this song as a kid. I thank God for my beautiful sons. They bring me so much joy. I will carry them until they can carry themselves.
This song is and always should be a continuous anthem for women raising their children alone.
If this doesn't make you cry for the love of your child, you're missing out.
💖👶
Singing this as a child then turning 18 having my first born, I broke in tears because it was so real. For once a song where each word hit home. As a child hearing this song never thought it would be me relating to it. Sadly it was my reality so young in my life. 42 years old almost now and I’m still grateful hearing this. Three more kids since my eldest and I’m grateful ❤Thank you to my kids fathers and to God Almighty for each and every one of my kids ❤I Love You Lord✝️🙏🏾
Dedicated this to my daughter a few months ago and she’s 25 Amen beautiful song for our children may God bless them all! In Jesus Name Amen 🙏
AJ i miss you so much son every time i hear this song i cry like a baby .you are now my guardian angel yor life was stolen from you on 4/15/16 i will never be the same baby

Ewana Richardson So sorry for your loss.
I am in the same situation I lost my baby girl @ 24 years old... A pain that will never go away... I pray for all women who have lost a child all the time.. My Rae'Venne was stolen from me June 23, 2017 by someone she called her brother... I cry everyday for my baby... Now she is my GUARDIAN ANGEL... I use to sing this song to my babies all the time....
Virginia D. Faircloth I will pray for you and your family I am a mother of 8 and can understand you pain God bless you your family
I thank God for my child. When God brought him into my life, I recommitted myself to God and have not stop since. Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ have used my son to motivate me to go back to school. I am truly thankful to God for my only child, my loving son. Thanks and glory be to God!
OMG this was the jam back in the days. You sang this from your heart even when you didn't have children... Love this song... I just went in full concert in my bedroom my kids looking at me like I'm bananas...
As a father. God I wanna say thank you blessing me with 2 beautiful kids. That I love with all my heart and soul💖💖💖
Anyone else emotionally choked up at the babysitter part?
39 years old and I still can’t get through this song without tears. I was not raised by a single mom, but my parents were very young and my dad was in the Army and gone a lot. She used to sing this to me when I was little. One of my earliest memories.
im not a mom, but this song touches my heart. I listen to it every night. Let me knw what my mom feels.
Ok thanks right
This song is for both my Son & Daughter, Thanks For My Children They Are The Reasons I Go Hard For Them Being A Single Mom. I Will always love this song
This song embraced me as a Young Mother. Always giving me so much strength. ❤
I'm thankful for my daughters. We have had our good times and bad. I will always love them. No matter what. Because if it wasn't for those 3 my grandkids wouldn't be here. So thank you to my 3 daughters and the fathers of all my grandkids.
