Craig Morgan The Father My Son and The Holy Ghost 30 Years Married Couple Reacts

[@daleb1279]

It was Ricky Skaggs who was standing off stage here afterwards who convinced him he had to keep singing the song to help others in their grief. Craig had planned that this would be the only performance of the song ever. Blake Shelton actually worked on social media to get the song airplay for his friend after hearing it. Craig says that he doesn't always perform the song now in every venue where he plays because it still takes him a lot of emotional energy to get through it without crying.

[@jimmysrandom]

Very brave performance, it was good of Ricky to encourage him to get through it.

Lost my son on April 6th, 2019, in a motorcycle accident. Would have been 34 in July. Was single and had a young daughter. He and i both worked on a towboat. I got off the boat for the first time after his passing and was beginning to drive home when this song came on the radio as i started the car. I had never heard it till then and it hit me like a rock. I cried for the four hour ride home. I too fell Craig's pain and would like to thank him for sharing this song. I still get a tear in eye each time i hear it but it gives me hope also. Love you son.

[@jimmysrandom]

It's good to let it out. Sometimes we are holding in a lot more than we realize. I'm very sorry for your loss.

[@DarrellMcQueen]

He is Not Gone!! Amen... God Bless Everyone who has lost their kid

[@rebeccaanderson8305]

I lost my son when he was 6 hours old. That kind of pain is indescribable. He would have been 16 now and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t forget. He is in heaven with his grandma and his sister. 😢

[@jimmysrandom]

I'm very sorry for your losses. I know those kinds of wounds never heal. All I can really do is try to entertain you and share some time. I hope I can make you smile a little.

[@steamfireandice]

Fun Fact. Craig morgan was a soldier himself. and I just love yalls reactions!! Keep up the good work brother.

[@michaelsmith5021]

What a Powerful, Emotional, Spiritual Song! God Bless Craig and His Family!

[@birdyseeds]

I read somewhere that when they pulled Jerry from the water his hands were clasped as if in prayer and his eyes were looking up at the sky…I try to pray for them a few times a week that God will continue to grant them grace and strength for the journey. Thanks for covering this one.❤

[@sheilasisk7550]

He had a message that needed to be told

[@timnye718]

No matter how many times I have watched this song it is so tough to see!

[@jimmysrandom]

It was rough, I went and watched the MV. I actually think is was bit harder to see the anguish on his face trying to get through it. Strong man.

[@anndrew4984]

Craig Morgan is a real true Man. God bless him.

[@angiedavis3200]

This song is personal for me. My son passed away when he was 7 months old. March 31st he would have been 29 years old. I'm in absolute tears!!

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry to hear that, I am glad you find some comfort with this one.

[@lt.spears1889]

So sorry for your loss

[@kktraylor]

Another song along the same theme is 21 years by TobyMac. Heart wrenching.

[@sethwilson9465]

Beautiful song

[@donniemarler3909]

My daughter was killed in a car accident 5 years ago. 10 months after the passing of my wife. I am 62 and cried like a child hearing this song. I get it all too well.

[@bevalexander5897]

We lost 2 of my brothers 2yrs apart, and they were both only 24 yrs old. One was a marine and died in a terrorist attack. The other was staying in a camper visiting friends. The propane heater blew up. My parents were never the same. It’s almost like their spirits were gone, and robots stayed behind. It destroyed our family. Mr Morgan and my parents suffered a hell that I hope I never experience.

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry for you losses, this songs seems to bind those who have felt it.

[@chrismadden132]

I lost my son in war. Working for our country. I got out of the army 1 day before he died in the same war areas. He is my hero. Not me his was.

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you and your family.

[@janeWeatherwax]

Wow I feel your pain and the hope that God and his Son gives up everyday! AMEN

[@allis7664]

Don’t know if you guys have already done it but “Fire Away” the official video by Chris Stapleton is a powerful one.

[@jimmysrandom]

I'm a big Chris Stapleton fan. We have seen that one, if I can find some that she hasn't seen we do a video. Cheers!

[@christinehanan9503]

He never wanted to release this song. He wrote the song for himself. It was Blake Shelton

[@englehartd13]

I read somewhere that when he walked off stage he said he’d never sing that again. He’s done it since then but I imagine that was rough.

[@jimmysrandom]

I can't even imagine.

[@lisaray9944]

We had this played at my sons funeral just 3 months after he sang it on the Grand Ole Opry …. I never thought this song would mean so much to me .

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry for your loss. It's a great song that I think has helped a lot of folks.

[@CoastalNomad]

Powerful Song and Reaction........ Craig is a Great Story-teller through song..... He has some other Powerful songs (Not sure if you have checked them out....) "Almost Home," "This Ain't Nothing," and some Fun/Entertaining songs - "Bonfire," "Redneck Yacht Club," "International Harvester," "Raise the Bar," "More Trucks than Cars"

[@shawnmazyn7090]

I know it took absolutely everything he had to get through it. I cannot begin to imagine his actual pain and devastating heartbreak. I pray for anyone that has lost a child. Life is not suppose to be out of order where you bury your children.

[@jimmysrandom]

It's a heartache that no one should have to go through.

[@sharonkempf1276]

You are absolutely right, a parent is not supposed to outlive their child. I have outlived 2 of my son's. My youngest we played See You Again by Carrie Underwood and this one was played at my oldest son's funeral.

[@jimmysrandom]

I can't imagine, very sorry for your loss. If you need anything from me just reach out.

[@garyzink1927]

So very sorry about your son's passing. I can't help but I will say a prayer for your son and his loving family. Bless all of you, love from Northern Michigan.

[@GroovyLavaSquirrelMedic]

Amazing song! Great job keeping it together!

[@jimmysrandom]

It wasn't easy. Cheers!

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

New sub. We are not equipped to out live our children!💔Loved your reaction and looking forward to your new posts and going to spend the next few hours looking at your previous posts! Love from Texas🤠

[@jimmysrandom]

Thank you so much!!

[@car17yn71]

Craig struggled to get through the song. It's hard to watch his pain. but the song is beautiful. After losing 3 close family members between April 2021 and January 2022 ... then my dad in January 2023, it just hits a little different.

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry for you losses.

[@wheelmanstan]

Y'all GOTTA see the video where Dwight Yokam sings at Buck Owens' funeral. Yeah, I can't believe these singers can gather up the strength to sing these songs. I know Vince Gil had an extremely hard time doing it.

[@LindaLewis-uy1dk]

This is a hard song to listen to. As you said, parents shouldn't lose their children. I lost my daughter at two months old of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) many years ago. She was 'perfect', but she was gone. You never get over it. You just learn to live with it. I feel extremely lucky that we have a son who was two years old when our daughter died. We're very close. I'm new to your channel and love your 'title'. You two have a good start now. :0) My husband and I will celebrate 54 years in June. thanks, and I just subscribed.

[@jimmysrandom]

Very sorry for your loss. 54 years! I feel like a newly wed.

Never lost a child in the sense of him/her being here but I lost a son while my wife was 16 weeks pregnant (knew it was a son and was confirmed later). That hurt to the core and I can only imagine what losing a child that you have had the ability to spend time with, even in the slightest. Noah died of a true knot in his cord, truly I believe because he was so active so early, both my wife and I could feel him moving at around 10 weeks gestation. It was the only OB appointment that I missed (for him or my daughter), because our daughter who was 2 1/2 at the time, was sick. To compound things, my uncle who was very supportive after our loss, died less than a week later on the operating table. It is crazy to think that it is coming up on 12 years since this happened, and he would be turning 12 later this year. After suffering another early miscariage my wife had our rainbow baby, William in Feburary of 2013. He is now 10 years old. I think feeling Noah move, knowing he was a boy, even not knowing truly but later getting the confirmation, made that hurt more than the second loss (we call him/her "baby Z" at like 6 weeks gestation). Another crazy thing to think is that Noah would have been named William, because it was a name we had picked out for a boy in horor of both of my grandfathers (one whom I never had the chance to meet, and another that had passed but was one of the people, that even to this day, I held dearest to my heart). My wife and I picked Noah out and I randomly found Jackson for his middle name. Noah Jackson, I still love you to this day, and one day I will see you. Also a fun fact for William, he has a second middle name "George" who was my uncle that passed away so close to Noah's passing.

Those scars we carry with us on our hearts never heal fully do they. I lost my Dad back in 1983 when I was a boy, I still dream about him to this day. These are the moments that keep us grounded in the fact that this is temporary situation, and not to waste it.

[@LadyGator1983]

It was BLAKE SHELTON that convinced him to perform it so that others could help the healing.

[@Almcingrid3663]

His son was Jerry.

Check out 21 Years by Tobymac

[@2nicnag2]

Morgan was in the military, I believe 8 years special forces medic based on what I have seen on other pages. Definitely check out other songs by him, this one is so highly emotional but his regular music there’s quite an array

[@jimmysrandom]

I got Tough on the list, stay tuned. Any good ones I'm missing?

[@2nicnag2]

Red neck yacht club is a reallly fun song, almost home (does it with jelly roll too), that’s what I love about Sunday are the top 3 in my opinion as far as his bigger hits
