My dad died when I was five and i still remember it. He was sleeping and my mom and sis were watching TV in the living room. I asked them to blow up a balloon for me and my mom said to ask dad. i remember as soon as i got to the door i felt so cold. I walked up to him. I called to him and he didn't wake up. i touched his hand and i felt how cold and weak it was. He died of a heart attack in his sleep. I never even got to say goodbye or i love you. :' (
I can understand your emotions I had a father figure whom I still didn't had the chance to tell him good bye or see his dead body. He was missing in action from war we never bad the chance to tell him good bye
I lost my daddy 29.1.2024 plus my son to cancer 21st 3. 2019 my daddy liked this song when I went to see him in hospital on the Saturday I'm glad I seen him he managed to say I love you my lass I knew he wouldn't make it I never got to cuddle him got the chance to get to hospital in time my fone started ringing at 2.45pm I picked it said I know my mum asked how I knew I said I seen it for my own eyes the Sunday I played this song and it's a true saying hearing is last last to go he couldn't talk yet he heard this song ajndl tears running streaming down his cheeks love you my precious son and love you daddy 💔😇😇💔😢😢
True. I knew that the day will come I will have to my leave my one and only daughter. I just pray to God that when that time comes she'll have a family on her own with a responsible man that will love her forever.
Cried so hard over this my dad just died on 4/13/14 at 8:45 p.m. and, I did see my dad waste away in the hospital. I held his hand and, told him he could go that I would be alright. This is truly beautiful I miss my dad so much. I know he is watching over me now. RIP dad I will ALWAYS love you.
callmekico Sorry to hear this you have to just look to your faith and, have strength. I've learned through all of this you have to be strong and know that as hard as it is, he will be in a better place and, not have to suffer anymore. It's only been a month for me and, I still feel terrible I hear that it gets better with time, I can only hope that. Prayers to you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss in my situation I knew my dad was dying, that didn't make it any easier. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever went through in my life. I know they are both watching over us now. The memories come back in waves to me. I wasn't ready for him to go even though, I knew he had to.
My daddy's been gone nearly a year. (5/25/13) I was tending to him in hospice. I remembered that he opened his eyes and saw me sitting on his bed. He said to me, "You know, they can't fix this, they can't fix me?" I replied, I know Pop, I know. I told him that I loved him and he said, I love you too, I always have. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I put my head on his chest and listened to the last time his heart would beat. He was gone. If you still have your daddy, hug him tight make sure that he knows you love him. I love and miss you Pop! Beautiful song.
2:41 when her voice began to crack, I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This song is so emotional. This always makes me cry. Love you dad. Wish you a long and healthy life. ❤️
Mine went when I was 13 it was so hard & still is but I am a piece of him & I know he loves me & doesn't want me to feel too sad or scared & he is looking after me even though he's not here anymore. 🥺💗
my dad died in 1999 of cancer. i played this at my wedding in 2008 and danced with my uncle who had told my dad he would watch over me and my sister. i remember trying my hardest not to cry at his funeral. i was only 8 and i didnt realize til i got a little older how much i really needed him in my life.
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 2 years old and grew up with an extremely hostile step dad. My dad was an exceptional man who always put his family first and I am so incredibly heartbroken that I didn't get very much time with him. He died within 4 months of his diagnosis. I feel for all of you who have lost your dads ♡♡ There's a void in my life that can never be filled but I know he's watching over me. It's so hard for me to watch father/daughter dances and know I'll never have my dad walk me down the aisle or watch me graduate from University. But I'm lucky that he was in my life at all. Love you so much daddy rip ♡
im sorry for your loss but not to worry everything happens for a good maby if ur dad hadnt left u wouldnt have understand how much one of the greatest men to be alive meant to you my daddy is my hero and always will be even when he is gone
I also lost my daddy 2 weeks ago, on 05/19 =( . You will never be ready for a loss like that one, it will always be too soon. That´s what kept saying the day he died "it´s too soon" but then, I realized it will always be too soon to let go the first love of your life
Abi Wamunyu Lost mine about 5 months ago.Telling him to let go was the hardest thing I ever had to say....I had to pluck up the courage for a while before i could actually say it.Not without breaking down...
about a year ago my dad went up to heaven, he was 42 and he lost his battle to diabettes type 1 about a month before he passed he pulled through so i could fly out to ny to be with him for a week. HE told all his nurses that "my little girl is coming", I will never forget how big his smile was when i walked in his room. I miss him so much and this song some how makes me feel a little bit better, i know he held out as long as he could.. RIP dad
My Dad went into the hospital on July 22, 2011 for a derm appt. Had a bone marrow biopsy done the same day (I watched, worst thing I have EVER seen done to someone.) He checked into the hospital the following day, July 23, 2011. Started chemotherapy on the 25th. started a new chemo therapy on August 5th, and passed away on the 6th. He wanted to listen to my ipod on the 4th, so I turned it on for him and this was the first song that started playing. So lost without you Daddy.. 4/1/63 - 8/6/11
This is my 2nd cousin. I'm Native and I got to meet her when I went to visit her for the first time a while ago my last name is Richard but again she is my (2nd cousin) it was wonderful seeing my grandpa cry when he went to see his granddaughter :)
I never knew my father growing up, I didn't meet him till I was 13... My grandfather was who I called dad and 2 days ago I had to let him go.... He was 81 years old... As he was lying there holding my hand tightly for the last hour of his life all I could think of was this song and how I was NOT ready to tell him to go yet :( but he is no longer suffering, and the last thing he saw was me & my 2 beautiful children as he slipped away with his last breath....
I lost my dad 4 days after my 9th birthday he was always sick. I miss him so much. I'm 17 and need him now more. Than ever. I just wish I could have him back...
The last verse of this song holds so true for me right now. My father is laying in the hospital with Lung cancer just wasting away to nothing and when I hear the last verse of this song... I just break down and start crying. I love him and it hurts so much... but I will be happy when he is finally at peace, he's suffered so much over these last few months...
Jessica Blaylock It was just a few days after I posted this message here that my father passed away. I miss him so much but I know he's in a better place and at least he's not suffering anymore.
I just lost my Dad over a month ago. Before he past away, we listened to this song many times. I knew he wasn't going to be there for my wedding but a daughter can wish. His health was not good. He was overweight and he prone to sickness, he had cat scratch fever a few times. During a thunderstorm or after a nightmare I used to run up to him and curl up next to him or on his lap. My Dad was hurting and sick for 4 years and I could do nothing.
This song was released months before I lost my dad, my rock to cancer. 11 years later and I still cannot get through this song without completely breaking down.
my father passed away in december. I loved him so much and played this song at his memorial and I remember holding his hand as he was dying, telling him it was ok.....I would be ok....but I lied...I miss you Daddy
My Dad passed away a year ago on December 8th of a massive heart attack. I was a major Daddy's girl... I tried to save him but couldn't/ I miss him very much, Never take your Dad for granted, he will always love you and be there for you... :S I miss you Dad! :'(
It has been 13 years today that my dad passed away..I was 8 years old then & I am now 21...I miss him very much & it kills me to see other girls or kids w/ their dads, but I know mine will always be w/ me in spirit..RIP 9/15/47-5/4/99
I lost my boy at the age of 22 years old on 10-Aug-13. He was hit on his motorcycle on 8-Aug-13 and passed away 2 days later from the injuries he sustained. He was the best kid a Dad could have asked for and I love him more than anything on this earth. 6 Months 1 Week and 1 Day later I lost my Dad, also a good man. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Retired after 20 years of active service. He had been exposed to Agent Orange and it set up a multitude of health issuse throughout his life. He always loved the Army and America and never spoke a bad word about the service nor the war he fought. The song means 2 things to me. It says that my Dad does not have to fight so hard anymore, that he can be at peace to go home to his Creator. That I will be ok. It also suggest that after a year of being torrn apart from the inside. I can let go of my Son. Something I don't think I am ready to do.
Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of when my Stepdaddy "Let Go" and even though he was not my real Dad he was one of the best men i have even known and i love him so much and am so grateful for the 22 years i had with him.
though written from a girls prospective a song i need to hear, just got off the phone moments ago to hear my dad says his goodbyes. a call that i didn't want to end, the miles apart kept me from being there but know that i care and you will always be in my heart,
Telling my daddy its ok to let go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do... I was 21 when my daddy left me it has been almost 8yrs since that day and its still fresh in my mind. This song hits home truly for me.
my daddy let go 19 yrs ago i was ten yrs old. He let his addictions take him away from this world. he missed the arrival of his 7 grandchildren. I still miss him even with the hell he put me through.
i think this song hits those of us who have already lost a father the hardest. don't ever take your fathers for granted, cherish them and tell them that you love them while you still can..
I first heard this song on that Pass it On commercial about the father dying, and it made me cry. I'm 21, and my father died a year and a half ago, and I wasn't there to say good bye. This song makes me wish I could have told my dad that it was okay for him to let go.
I lost my daddy almost 7 years ago. He held on long enough after suffering for years to see me get married and have a family of my own. Just the next year I lost my husband in a horrible accident & now I have a daughter who now understands this song much to well for her age. Hold those you love and NEVER leave them without a hug and kiss. You never know when that lost moment you'll have together will be.
I lost my dad 6 years ago on 9-11-06 and I miss him so much. This song makes me cry everythime I hear it. When he passed I was sitting by him in the hospital with the rest of the family when he took his last breathe. Before he passed that morning when I was alone with him I got to tell him I was pregnant. That has been the hardest thing I have ever been through. I would give anything to see him one more time.
My beloved dad held on as I drove over 200 miles to be at his bedside. My eldest son and i held his hands as he passed away. A big part of my heart went with him and I will miss him always x
my father passed away August 28th of this year. A friend of mine shared this song with me right after he passed away. The part that gets me is the end. The night before my father passed, I was in his hospital room with my mom and a family friend. The friend asked us if we had told him it was ok to let go, that we'd be ok...we said we hadn't...the next day he passed away...I know he heard us. He just wanted to make sure we'd be ok. I love you Floyd Donald Cunningham. Always your sugar bear.
I and my family was with my father and mother when they died several years apart , I couldn't say "you can go now daddy". God took them both at His timming . Now they are with Him and are watching over all their children.
This song hits close to home for me cause I did have to watch my dad lay in a hospital bed and lose all his strength to the point he couldn't feed himself. He had multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that attacks everything. I will never get to have him walk me down the aisle or have a father daughter dance. Its been 8 1/2 years since he has passed away but I still have days where I wish I could call him and just hear his voice or have him meet his granddaughter. I know he watches over us everyday but I still miss him like crazy.
ok my mom and dad got devorsted and i only got to see my dad like when i 4 and now im 12 he has two sons and he loves them more than me and i was his first kid so when i hear this song i cry really hard i still love u daddy hope u come home soon
Sometimes things dont work out they way they should. it's not ur fault. I lost my two youngest to divorce and they moved to Texas. It broke my heart!!! I'm sure he loves you! Hes just tied up with hs new family. Be patient, he'll come around and remember he's human too and even Dad's make mistakes!!
love you daddy, second Christmas without you, 58 years young. The lord above had bigger plans for you. Your little spot wasn't ready but one day at a time I feel I am.
for those of you girls who still have their dads in their life,hold on to them and cherish every moment with him as possible cause once they are gone,there is no coming back..i wish i could still my dad i lost him October 11,2011..it was very hard to see him go,but always remember that you cant always have something forever!! I
This will be for my dad when he does pass away. I can't hold back the tears sometimes because my dad and I are so close so to envision him on his death bed one day will be very hard on me. I love you dad always.
Jimmy Davis It's one of the hardest things you'll ever see, I was there when I was only 6 years old looking at dad wondering why god decided to take him instead of someone else, it's been 11 years coming on 12 this november and I would give absolutely ANYTHING to see that guys face one last time....... cherish every moment you have with him man
dad used to tease me everytime i sang this song as a little girl, but i knew that he was so proud that i was the only daughter of the 8 kids to be singing. when he passed, i felt that i had to sing this at the service. as a native, it wasnt allowed at our longhouse, but i know my dad, and his family. they made sure i sang this to him, and everyone
they played this at my grandfather's funeral and i cried my eyes out. it's been 4 years now but i know he is in a better place. R.I.P. grandpa i love you.
I was so sure this was Amanda Wilkinson when I heard this on the radio... Shocked to learn that it's not. It's a really deep song. Somebody I know is losing a loved one to cancer and I thought of this song for them today.
This song tears me up, and I try to avoid it...but something brings me back time and time again to this video. Dad passed on October 8, 2006, in my arms, with Mom, my sister, and my brothers at the bedside, in the same room where their wedding pictures were taken. Dad got through Omaha Beach but not through cancer. So, for my Dad and all the Dads of everyone who reads this...rest in peace, until we meet again.
Such a beautiful song ! Very proud of you caring for people and especially personal family times when you are standing between life and death...humbling..sensitive..love conquers all !!! Thank you Crystal ! God bless !!
I remember when I first heard this story in my parents bedroom in 2010. My dad had shown it to me and I cried. I have now witnessed crystal play twice and met her the second time. As soon as she made eye contact with me I started to cry just like I was watching/listening to this video for the first time. I admire crystal so much.
My dad had cancer 4 times the first time we would not stop crying he told me hes going to try everything he could to stay on earth to be with me.The 4th time he had cancer he told me 'Baby girl, I think I have cancer again.. and this time I dont think I'm going to make it..' few days later he was blind in a hospice with brain cancer.. I came and visited him never left his side.. New it was going to be my last time to see him. The next day he died.. I held his hand as he took his last breath luvu
I just lost my dad the 8th of September and I'm going to turn 20 the 28th of this month. && I miss him dearly, I started college 2 weeks after he died. I love him so much & he will never be there to walk me down that isle or seen me get my degree! I wish he could be here with me now to talk to and hug! This song means the world to me!
forever blessed my dad is still right by my side sure we fight an even go into physical abuse but I know my dad cares an he's just teaching me right from wrong I love you dad. XX this is gonna me my father daughter dance
My dad died when I was 9 months old. Ever sense I've lived with my gma and gpa (i call em mom and pappa) I came home and fun my pappa dead on Ocober 25, 2012. I've lost tw dads within 15 yrs.. and this song speaks straight to my heart
My moms friend has been off life support for 11 hours now and i know she's holding on for her boys. Its so sad because i can't imagine the pain her boys are going through right now. Wake up Marti don't let go just yet
this reminds me of the stories my mom told me from when my dad had cancer and i was 6 and thinking how lucky i am to have him survive a year of cancer and almost dying 4 times and is now 5 years cancer free.
my dad died a couple months ago in January.. I am only twelve years old.. but i do miss him... and love him so much, he died from lung cancer.. a battle he was fighting for three months but secretly for five years..
This song brings back memories...my dad was kill right in front of me when I was only 6 years old ...my mom was killed in a car crash when I was 3 but my dad got shot... I remember when he got to the hospital 3 days later he pass away in front of me ... I miss you both so much if only I could hear your voice one more time ...
This song makes me cherish my dad so much more. I wish we had a better relationship. I wish I could tell him I love him, but it's akward between us. I wish he was more emotional. Anyways I love him
I'm 16 and I've been with out my dad since August 14th of 2008 he was battling cancer and he was okay to come home and we came to pick him up and we got the news I miss him everyday and I still find it hard to get out of bed because I know I won't see him and it's really hard. I just wish I had gotten the chance say goodbye because I didn't get one and I just miss him so much and I won't get to share anymore memories with him. God I really really miss him. RIP Daddy
I lost my dad when I was only 11 years old. I'm only 15 now. I miss my dad more and more everyday. Even now as I'm writing this I'm starting to cry. But I know my dad is where nothing can ever hurt him and I will see him again. But even knowing that some times I wish R.I.P. mean Return If Possible. So with that said R.I.P daddy 11/18/1966-4/8/2009
I'm 13 years old going to be 14 my dad pasted away May 14 7:45p.m. I saw him pass R.I.P daddy I love you with all my heart and from this day I still wish you here.... miss you and love you lots and I'll see you some day again
My dad died just back in November. It was so sudden that when I saw him, I didn't even know he wasn't still with us. He was in pain though, and I'm glad he's somewhere safe were he'll never hurt again, because he deserves it. I'm 15 years old though. My dad will never be there when I graduate, or when I get married, or my first child is born. I miss you, daddy, from all the times you read to me, and even the times you got mad at me
My dad died 4 days ago on my birthday, and I sang this song in his ear as he was passing.. I've never ever felt such pain Best strongest man I've ever known
My daddy passed 2 weeks before my 8th grade grad. Sittin next to him telling him to let go was the hardest thing ive ever done. i wish he was here to meet his grandson and share memories with him. i love and miss him so much but he is in a better place :*(
I listen to this song and can't stop the tears. It reminds me of my grandpa, I never had a dad, so he was my father like figure in my life. I wish he was here to see my son who has his name. Rest in paradise grandpa John Robert Phillips love Chassity and Jaxon John
I haven't lost him yet but since my mom has been back and forth to Afghanistan since I was 18 (23 now) I can't imagine the world with out. But this ones for my cousins husband passed away this year! RIP David we'll see you around.
I am dedicating this song to both of the men in my life. John, my dad, and Robert, my step-dad. Both still live, but I feel this song is the perfect for them both. I love you both with all of my heart. And your little girl is ready to do this on her own... But I will call if I need anything and just to let you know I am okay.
Rip daddy i just lost my dad to type one Diabetes on the 19th! 1st time i can listen to this song since then.. I miss him so much! RIP daddy 02/19/2011
I lost my dad 35 days ago and is killing me. I listened to this song for the 3 months and 3days why that evil cancer took my dad away. I had to let him know I would be ok,it was a lie!!!
I lost my dad one year ago today. I also told him it was ok to go. He left me five minutes before I got to him. On purpose to save me from more heartache i think. If he only knew. I love you daddy
December 10th will be 10 years since my dad died. I was only 12. In an instant my mom became a single mother of three kids. Her strenght got us through. So much has happened since he passed away. I wish he could meet my husband. And i wish my son could meet his grandpa.
My dad died when I was five and i still remember it. He was sleeping and my mom and sis were watching TV in the living room. I asked them to blow up a balloon for me and my mom said to ask dad. i remember as soon as i got to the door i felt so cold. I walked up to him. I called to him and he didn't wake up. i touched his hand and i felt how cold and weak it was. He died of a heart attack in his sleep. I never even got to say goodbye or i love you. :' (
I can understand your emotions I had a father figure whom I still didn't had the chance to tell him good bye or see his dead body. He was missing in action from war we never bad the chance to tell him good bye
WOW sorry I feel your pain but he is watching over you
Heartbreaking 😢... this got my tears streaming down my face...

This song can bring the biggest man to tears
True. I knew that the day will come I will have to my leave my one and only daughter. I just pray to God that when that time comes she'll have a family on her own with a responsible man that will love her forever.
yep ...
@@reyzer32 ll@l)9
It did....the first time I heard it, yesterday. And it's still bringing them😢
The best song ever written for a father and daughter's relationship.
Cried so hard over this my dad just died on 4/13/14 at 8:45 p.m. and, I did see my dad waste away in the hospital. I held his hand and, told him he could go that I would be alright. This is truly beautiful I miss my dad so much. I know he is watching over me now. RIP dad I will ALWAYS love you.
:( im so sorry. :( I know how you feel. I'm 12 and my dad is probably going to die this week from cancer.
callmekico Sorry to hear this you have to just look to your faith and, have strength. I've learned through all of this you have to be strong and know that as hard as it is, he will be in a better place and, not have to suffer anymore. It's only been a month for me and, I still feel terrible I hear that it gets better with time, I can only hope that. Prayers to you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss in my situation I knew my dad was dying, that didn't make it any easier. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever went through in my life. I know they are both watching over us now. The memories come back in waves to me. I wasn't ready for him to go even though, I knew he had to.
Madison Swift Thank you!
my dad passed away 01/04/2012 I know how you feel
My daddy's been gone nearly a year. (5/25/13) I was tending to him in hospice. I remembered that he opened his eyes and saw me sitting on his bed. He said to me, "You know, they can't fix this, they can't fix me?" I replied, I know Pop, I know. I told him that I loved him and he said, I love you too, I always have. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I put my head on his chest and listened to the last time his heart would beat. He was gone. If you still have your daddy, hug him tight make sure that he knows you love him. I love and miss you Pop! Beautiful song.
I had this played last year at my beloved dad's funeral
Hello Mandy... how are you doing?

My old man is still here, I’m a 36 year old grown man. When he goes one day, I’m buggered.

4 months now since my father left...It was time to let go...Your little girl will be alright:-)
Abi Wamunyu this brought tears to my eyes I am so sorry
Thanks for your message Tiffany:-) Yes...letting go is part of this life...
I wish it wasn't
Abi Wamunyu but...it will still be hard at times
Abi Wamunyu Lost mine about 5 months ago.Telling him to let go was the hardest thing I ever had to say....I had to pluck up the courage for a while before i could actually say it.Not without breaking down...
about a year ago my dad went up to heaven, he was 42 and he lost his battle to diabettes type 1 about a month before he passed he pulled through so i could fly out to ny to be with him for a week. HE told all his nurses that "my little girl is coming", I will never forget how big his smile was when i walked in his room. I miss him so much and this song some how makes me feel a little bit better, i know he held out as long as he could.. RIP dad
Rest in Peace dad. Gone but never forgotten. I love you till the end of time. :(
My Dad went into the hospital on July 22, 2011 for a derm appt. Had a bone marrow biopsy done the same day (I watched, worst thing I have EVER seen done to someone.) He checked into the hospital the following day, July 23, 2011. Started chemotherapy on the 25th. started a new chemo therapy on August 5th, and passed away on the 6th. He wanted to listen to my ipod on the 4th, so I turned it on for him and this was the first song that started playing. So lost without you Daddy.. 4/1/63 - 8/6/11
This is my 2nd cousin. I'm Native and I got to meet her when I went to visit her for the first time a while ago my last name is Richard but again she is my (2nd cousin) it was wonderful seeing my grandpa cry when he went to see his granddaughter :)
So emotional and I wish I could go to Crystal's house again
I never knew my father growing up, I didn't meet him till I was 13... My grandfather was who I called dad and 2 days ago I had to let him go.... He was 81 years old... As he was lying there holding my hand tightly for the last hour of his life all I could think of was this song and how I was NOT ready to tell him to go yet :( but he is no longer suffering, and the last thing he saw was me & my 2 beautiful children as he slipped away with his last breath....
One of the bravest things anyone could say, especially in relation to the last verse.
Alyssa Weicht it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say...💔
I lost my dad 4 days after my 9th birthday he was always sick. I miss him so much. I'm 17 and need him now more. Than ever. I just wish I could have him back...
The last verse of this song holds so true for me right now. My father is laying in the hospital with Lung cancer just wasting away to nothing and when I hear the last verse of this song... I just break down and start crying. I love him and it hurts so much... but I will be happy when he is finally at peace, he's suffered so much over these last few months...
I'm so sorry to hear that. My dad passed away almost 4 years ago from terminal lung/bladder/bone cancer.

It was just a few days after I posted this message here that my father passed away. I miss him so much but I know he's in a better place and at least he's not suffering anymore.
I just lost my Dad over a month ago. Before he past away, we listened to this song many times. I knew he wasn't going to be there for my wedding but a daughter can wish. His health was not good. He was overweight and he prone to sickness, he had cat scratch fever a few times. During a thunderstorm or after a nightmare I used to run up to him and curl up next to him or on his lap. My Dad was hurting and sick for 4 years and I could do nothing.
This song was released months before I lost my dad, my rock to cancer. 11 years later and I still cannot get through this song without completely breaking down.
my father passed away in december. I loved him so much and played this song at his memorial and I remember holding his hand as he was dying, telling him it was ok.....I would be ok....but I lied...I miss you Daddy
There's only two people in this world who will love you no mater what you do or who you become and thats a mom and a dad. Thumbs up if you agree.
My Dad passed away a year ago on December 8th of a massive heart attack. I was a major Daddy's girl... I tried to save him but couldn't/ I miss him very much, Never take your Dad for granted, he will always love you and be there for you... :S I miss you Dad! :'(
thank you so much Crystal Shawanda for singing this song,
It has been 13 years today that my dad passed away..I was 8 years old then & I am now 21...I miss him very much & it kills me to see other girls or kids w/ their dads, but I know mine will always be w/ me in spirit..RIP 9/15/47-5/4/99
I lost my boy at the age of 22 years old on 10-Aug-13. He was hit on his motorcycle on 8-Aug-13 and passed away 2 days later from the injuries he sustained. He was the best kid a Dad could have asked for and I love him more than anything on this earth. 6 Months 1 Week and 1 Day later I lost my Dad, also a good man. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Retired after 20 years of active service. He had been exposed to Agent Orange and it set up a multitude of health issuse throughout his life. He always loved the Army and America and never spoke a bad word about the service nor the war he fought. The song means 2 things to me. It says that my Dad does not have to fight so hard anymore, that he can be at peace to go home to his Creator. That I will be ok. It also suggest that after a year of being torrn apart from the inside. I can let go of my Son. Something I don't think I am ready to do.
God bless you my friend, there are no words for the sadness I feel for you...Im so sorry.......You will all meet one day!
You made me cry.
I’m so sorry for your losses :)
Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of when my Stepdaddy "Let Go" and even though he was not my real Dad he was one of the best men i have even known and i love him so much and am so grateful for the 22 years i had with him.
though written from a girls prospective a song i need to hear, just got off the phone moments ago to hear my dad says his goodbyes. a call that i didn't want to end, the miles apart kept me from being there but know that i care and you will always be in my heart,
I miss my dad so much.... 3 years yesterday....
Telling my daddy its ok to let go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do... I was 21 when my daddy left me it has been almost 8yrs since that day and its still fresh in my mind. This song hits home truly for me.
I Met My Dad after 12 years, and he was just diagnosed with cancer and i hope i never have to tell this to him!!!
I miss my dad :(
my daddy let go 19 yrs ago i was ten yrs old. He let his addictions take him away from this world. he missed the arrival of his 7 grandchildren. I still miss him even with the hell he put me through.
i think this song hits those of us who have already lost a father the hardest. don't ever take your fathers for granted, cherish them and tell them that you love them while you still can..
I first heard this song on that Pass it On commercial about the father dying, and it made me cry. I'm 21, and my father died a year and a half ago, and I wasn't there to say good bye. This song makes me wish I could have told my dad that it was okay for him to let go.
I lost my daddy almost 7 years ago. He held on long enough after suffering for years to see me get married and have a family of my own. Just the next year I lost my husband in a horrible accident & now I have a daughter who now understands this song much to well for her age. Hold those you love and NEVER leave them without a hug and kiss. You never know when that lost moment you'll have together will be.
I lost my dad 6 years ago on 9-11-06 and I miss him so much. This song makes me cry everythime I hear it. When he passed I was sitting by him in the hospital with the rest of the family when he took his last breathe. Before he passed that morning when I was alone with him I got to tell him I was pregnant. That has been the hardest thing I have ever been through. I would give anything to see him one more time.
My beloved dad held on as I drove over 200 miles to be at his bedside. My eldest son and i held his hands as he passed away. A big part of my heart went with him and I will miss him always x
my father passed away August 28th of this year. A friend of mine shared this song with me right after he passed away. The part that gets me is the end. The night before my father passed, I was in his hospital room with my mom and a family friend. The friend asked us if we had told him it was ok to let go, that we'd be ok...we said we hadn't...the next day he passed away...I know he heard us. He just wanted to make sure we'd be ok. I love you Floyd Donald Cunningham. Always your sugar bear.
I and my family was with my father and mother when they died several years apart , I couldn't say "you can go now daddy". God took them both at His timming . Now they are with Him and are watching over all their children.
My little girl Kathryn Joyce. died at 10 days old, I cant let go even after 7 years. this song reminds me of what im missing out on. She is my Angel.
This song hits close to home for me cause I did have to watch my dad lay in a hospital bed and lose all his strength to the point he couldn't feed himself. He had multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that attacks everything. I will never get to have him walk me down the aisle or have a father daughter dance. Its been 8 1/2 years since he has passed away but I still have days where I wish I could call him and just hear his voice or have him meet his granddaughter. I know he watches over us everyday but I still miss him like crazy.
I have been there!
dedicate this song to my daddy...2day would have been his 52nd bday... one day i hope to be strong enough to actually sing it
ok my mom and dad got devorsted and i only got to see my dad like when i 4 and now im 12 he has two sons and he loves them more than me and i was his first kid so when i hear this song i cry really hard i still love u daddy hope u come home soon
Sometimes things dont work out they way they should. it's not ur fault. I lost my two youngest to divorce and they moved to Texas. It broke my heart!!! I'm sure he loves you! Hes just tied up with hs new family. Be patient, he'll come around and remember he's human too and even Dad's make mistakes!!
This song was playing on the radio when my dad was dying. I heard it again on the way to his funeral.
love you daddy, second Christmas without you, 58 years young. The lord above had bigger plans for you. Your little spot wasn't ready but one day at a time I feel I am.
Rest in peace Daddy... i know your never going to read this.. but i love you... and miss you more than you'll ever know......
My Dad passed away when i was eight years old and i never will forget him
R.I.P. Daddy see you soon
Hope your pain eases soon 🤍🙏🏼
for those of you girls who still have their dads in their life,hold on to them and cherish every moment with him as possible cause once they are gone,there is no coming back..i wish i could still my dad i lost him October 11,2011..it was very hard to see him go,but always remember that you cant always have something forever!! I
This will be for my dad when he does pass away. I can't hold back the tears sometimes because my dad and I are so close so to envision him on his death bed one day will be very hard on me. I love you dad always.
Jimmy Davis It's one of the hardest things you'll ever see, I was there when I was only 6 years old looking at dad wondering why god decided to take him instead of someone else, it's been 11 years coming on 12 this november and I would give absolutely ANYTHING to see that guys face one last time....... cherish every moment you have with him man
dad used to tease me everytime i sang this song as a little girl, but i knew that he was so proud that i was the only daughter of the 8 kids to be singing. when he passed, i felt that i had to sing this at the service. as a native, it wasnt allowed at our longhouse, but i know my dad, and his family. they made sure i sang this to him, and everyone
they played this at my grandfather's funeral and i cried my eyes out. it's been 4 years now but i know he is in a better place. R.I.P. grandpa i love you.
One month now my heart is so broken 💔 missing my dad so much
Today;January 25th 2017,is one year since my dad died..😔 Love you daddy ❤
my daddy passed in 1993...it feels like yesterday...i'm a daddy's girl and I still can't deal with this after ALL these years...
I was so sure this was Amanda Wilkinson when I heard this on the radio... Shocked to learn that it's not. It's a really deep song. Somebody I know is losing a loved one to cancer and I thought of this song for them today.
This song tears me up, and I try to avoid it...but something brings me back time and time again to this video. Dad passed on October 8, 2006, in my arms, with Mom, my sister, and my brothers at the bedside, in the same room where their wedding pictures were taken. Dad got through Omaha Beach but not through cancer. So, for my Dad and all the Dads of everyone who reads this...rest in peace, until we meet again.
Such a beautiful song ! Very proud of you caring for people and especially personal family times when you are standing between life and death...humbling..sensitive..love conquers all !!! Thank you Crystal ! God bless !!
i cant imagine life without my dad im a daddy's girl and that I'll stay even after he's long gone
I remember when I first heard this story in my parents bedroom in 2010. My dad had shown it to me and I cried. I have now witnessed crystal play twice and met her the second time. As soon as she made eye contact with me I started to cry just like I was watching/listening to this video for the first time. I admire crystal so much.
My dad had cancer 4 times the first time we would not stop crying he told me hes going to try everything he could to stay on earth to be with me.The 4th time he had cancer he told me 'Baby girl, I think I have cancer again.. and this time I dont think I'm going to make it..' few days later he was blind in a hospice with brain cancer.. I came and visited him never left his side.. New it was going to be my last time to see him. The next day he died.. I held his hand as he took his last breath luvu
SO EMOTIONAL.....My daddy passed away July 3rd, 1995......I MISS and LOVE you Daddy!!
rosamaryful2 my dad was on the 11 of August 2017
I just lost my dad the 8th of September and I'm going to turn 20 the 28th of this month. && I miss him dearly, I started college 2 weeks after he died. I love him so much & he will never be there to walk me down that isle or seen me get my degree! I wish he could be here with me now to talk to and hug! This song means the world to me!

My dad died when I was 9 months old. Ever sense I've lived with my gma and gpa (i call em mom and pappa) I came home and fun my pappa dead on Ocober 25, 2012. I've lost tw dads within 15 yrs.. and this song speaks straight to my heart
My moms friend has been off life support for 11 hours now and i know she's holding on for her boys. Its so sad because i can't imagine the pain her boys are going through right now. Wake up Marti don't let go just yet
this reminds me of the stories my mom told me from when my dad had cancer and i was 6 and thinking how lucky i am to have him survive a year of cancer and almost dying 4 times and is now 5 years cancer free.
Such a powerful song. It brings tears to my eyes and her voice is beautiful
my dad died a couple months ago in January.. I am only twelve years old.. but i do miss him... and love him so much, he died from lung cancer.. a battle he was fighting for three months but secretly for five years..
I still cry when I hear this song.
This song brings back memories...my dad was kill right in front of me when I was only 6 years old ...my mom was killed in a car crash when I was 3 but my dad got shot... I remember when he got to the hospital 3 days later he pass away in front of me ... I miss you both so much if only I could hear your voice one more time ...
This is one of my newest favorite country song! Beautiful!
Forrest Day yeah it is nice
i miss you daddy
This song makes me cherish my dad so much more. I wish we had a better relationship. I wish I could tell him I love him, but it's akward between us. I wish he was more emotional. Anyways I love him
I'm 16 and I've been with out my dad since August 14th of 2008 he was battling cancer and he was okay to come home and we came to pick him up and we got the news I miss him everyday and I still find it hard to get out of bed because I know I won't see him and it's really hard. I just wish I had gotten the chance say goodbye because I didn't get one and I just miss him so much and I won't get to share anymore memories with him. God I really really miss him. RIP Daddy
absolutely love this song, what an amazing singer she is.
Crying so hard I can barely see my keypad. This song hit home so much. I miss my dad and wish so hard he was still here :(
She has such a beautiful voice and loved from the start wish I could sing like this cos the song is so amazing and a lot to Me
I lost my dad when I was only 11 years old. I'm only 15 now. I miss my dad more and more everyday. Even now as I'm writing this I'm starting to cry. But I know my dad is where nothing can ever hurt him and I will see him again. But even knowing that some times I wish R.I.P. mean Return If Possible. So with that said R.I.P daddy 11/18/1966-4/8/2009
Beautiful song, beautiful message, keep on singing!
This song is what having a dad really feels like.I know that no matter what my dad will be there for me, (:

My dad died just back in November. It was so sudden that when I saw him, I didn't even know he wasn't still with us. He was in pain though, and I'm glad he's somewhere safe were he'll never hurt again, because he deserves it. I'm 15 years old though. My dad will never be there when I graduate, or when I get married, or my first child is born.
I miss you, daddy, from all the times you read to me, and even the times you got mad at me
Reading the comments was not a good idea. Nope.
Not.At.All.
Same I am Iike crying so much rn ☹️
I shall go no further...
My dad died 4 days ago on my birthday, and I sang this song in his ear as he was passing.. I've never ever felt such pain
Best strongest man I've ever known
My daddy passed 2 weeks before my 8th grade grad. Sittin next to him telling him to let go was the hardest thing ive ever done. i wish he was here to meet his grandson and share memories with him. i love and miss him so much but he is in a better place :*(
I listen to this song and can't stop the tears. It reminds me of my grandpa, I never had a dad, so he was my father like figure in my life. I wish he was here to see my son who has his name. Rest in paradise grandpa John Robert Phillips love Chassity and Jaxon John
I haven't lost him yet but since my mom has been back and forth to Afghanistan since I was 18 (23 now) I can't imagine the world with out. But this ones for my cousins husband passed away this year! RIP David we'll see you around.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father 3 years ago and it still hurts. I held his hand too. He found for a long time.
I am dedicating this song to both of the men in my life. John, my dad, and Robert, my step-dad. Both still live, but I feel this song is the perfect for them both. I love you both with all of my heart. And your little girl is ready to do this on her own... But I will call if I need anything and just to let you know I am okay.
Rip daddy i just lost my dad to type one Diabetes on the 19th! 1st time i can listen to this song since then.. I miss him so much! RIP daddy 02/19/2011
my momma passed away February 19, 2010 of cancer. i love and miss her so very much but it was time for her to let go...i love you mommy and i miss you
I lost my dad 35 days ago and is killing me. I listened to this song for the 3 months and 3days why that evil cancer took my dad away. I had to let him know I would be ok,it was a lie!!!
I lost my dad one year ago today. I also told him it was ok to go. He left me five minutes before I got to him. On purpose to save me from more heartache i think. If he only knew. I love you daddy
December 10th will be 10 years since my dad died. I was only 12. In an instant my mom became a single mother of three kids. Her strenght got us through. So much has happened since he passed away. I wish he could meet my husband. And i wish my son could meet his grandpa.
