You owe it to yourself to watch the Grand Ole Opry performance of this. 10/10 chance you will cry.

[@KingOfThe850]

kelly clarkson show one as well... he actually breaks down at the end of that one 🥺

[@eileenbaran7040]

Blake Shelton was there and he pulled his song to win best song so Craig could win at the CMA's that year, because Craig was literally second to Blake's song

[@2nicnag2]

This music video is so emotional but the opry performance will absolutely gut a person

[@hopenoneya8161]

My sister has buried 5 adult children out of 6, car wrecks, and cancer. Two daughters, and her husband all died from cancer in less than 2 yrs. I don't know how she still exists, but her faith keeps her going. She also fought breast cancer a little over a year ago. There are strong women in the world, and then there are those like my sister. Thankfully her youngest surviving son is doing well.

[@sheilasisk7550]

God Bless all of you

[@David-gn6ds]

His 19 year old son Jerry died in a boating accident four years ago. His son Jerry was adopted, but the loss is just as strong. God bless Jerry, Craig, their family. This is the strongest, most emotional song I have ever heard. The only other song that has ever stirred such emotion was "Tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton after the loss of his son Conner.

[@2nicnag2]

His voice, his faith, being a veteran and a family man, his ability to write music-I’ve never felt so sick after hearing a song. The crying til he passed out, not healing completely til he goes home-absolute devastation and something I hope I never go through and wish he never did either

[@mandyheldenbrand2783]

The pain of losing a child born or unborn never disappears. Over time you learn to move on but the pain will always be there.

[@alexismspgaming8260]

its as real as it gets. This is him singing about his son who he lost to a drowning only a few years ago.

[@michaellambert8309]

Yes it is I cry like a baby every time I listen to it

[@nicolemurray7900]

As a woman who has an angel baby. I can attest that there is nothing more painful for a mom than to bury her child. My firstborn daughter was a week old when we lost her. I won't say it's any harder for the mom than the dad, but I'm sure it's different. This song never fails to make me cry, and think of her. She'd be 15 this April. Her little brother and sister are the reason my life has ambition.

[@RockN2Country]

@Nicole Murray Wow, I am so sorry that you've had to live with this harsh reality. It's just something that nobody can imagine if they haven't been through it, and I haven't been through it. All I can do is imagine. I'm glad you have two other children to go through life with, as they one day will have kids of their own and will understand you better when they do. You're always welcome to post here, as there are beautiful and compassionate people, some of whom have experienced what you have and have shared that on here. No matter what you share or don't, welcome to the channel and I'm with you in spirit. :-)

[@collinlambert9992]

He had a very hard time with this song, he wrote it a few nights after his 19 year old son died in a drowning accident. I can’t completely relate to this song but I listen to it to know I’ll one day see my brother that also had drown. I’m glad he wrote it and sang it, so many people go through situations like this and so many people could use a song like this

[@katt9384]

The loss of a sibling is one that many people over look. Because the parents are hit so hard, and if they have a child or children, they are hit hard as well. So we the sibblings hold it together, and let it out when we are alone. I lost my big brother two years ago, and still feels like yesterday. If we feel the pain we feel, and see our parents with what they feel, it's incomprehensible what they must be feeling. We too lost a part of ourselves, a part of our heart. The words in the song are so true for even us as sibblings loosing our first best friend.

[@davidemswiler4351]

First time hearing this song...pretty d*mn real! Craig Morgan has made a career of singing about what he sees and believes (not easy to do in Nashville). He served quite a long time in the Army and now sings for the troops...not as an outsider but as a brother. He's still married to the same women he married before he was anybody. He converted to Roman Catholicism and isn't afraid to put God back into the equation. Critics have said his songs can be preachy and represent an "outdated and simplified" view of faith, patriotism, family, morals, and duty. Well maybe that's true, but I like it and agree that's exactly what America needs to get back to.

[@christineems8754]

Dave, you had me in tears there, now that's real. Well said...for those lost, for those fighting, and those in between...

With Trump, there’s more God in the equation because he signed a bill last week to allow prayer in public schools, but it’s just going to get worse til we go home. We’re in the end times and you can see some of what was said to happen happening right now. It could be just a few years or decades only God knows but it will be very soon.

[@tupelohoney622]

David, thanks for the background. I'm glad he found an outlet for his music that also honors our troops. It took me a week to finally work up the courage to listen to this song. The phrase, "he's gone but he's still here," slammed hard.

[@dobrobob]

I had the pleasure of seeing Craig perform this song at the Grand Ole Opry.... there wasn’t a dry eye in the house ..... he had a hard time finishing the song.... I think he sings it as a way of moving on or a way of trying to heal something that can never be healed but you gotta keep going...... We are not ever prepared to bury are own... I know from personal experience...... such a powerful song ...tears my heart out

[@RockN2Country]

@Bob Kirkpatrick Wow, what an experience you had seeing him perform that at the Opry. Just, wow.

[@knitswithhorses2285]

Every time I've seen him sing this live, he's kinda lost it. Not surprising. I can't even imagine losing one of my kids or grandsons so young.

[@pinkfire2344]

There's an enormity to losing a child that can't be expressed in words. And yet, Craig did that. He managed to perfectly express it. His 19 year old was lost in a boating accident. Powerful song.

[@2nicnag2]

Huge country fan and of all the music I’ve ever heard, this one is the most emotional. The opry version absolutely gutted me! When I came across this song, I sent it to two moms who lost their teenage sons

[@jollybridge-burner]

Sweet Jesus, that poor man. I can't even begin to contemplate the loss, but I know the thought of losing my daughter makes my blood run cold. For me, there'd be no coming back from that. Beautifully poignant, sad song - but loved your thoughts on it Don.

[@knitswithhorses2285]

I just rewatched this and the line about "I cried and cried ... Til I passed out on the floor" and I had a sudden HARD flashback if my brother when his only son was killed at 13 by another kid playing with a gun. My brother is a Harley riding, Vietnam vet who is tough as nails and that's the only time in my life I ever saw him cry. I don't ever want to see pain like that again.

[@RockN2Country]

@KnitsWithHorses Ouch, I'm so sorry your brother and you and your family have had to live with that. I just try to imagine what that would be like but it's one of those things that is impossible to grasp unless you've been through it.

I lost my 26 year old son on Jan 24, 2015. Everyday is a struggle to go on but somehow you still get up and put one foot in front of the other and try to go about the everyday task. I listen to this song everyday. I know the struggle that Craig is going thru. When my son passed away, a big piece of myself went with him. My heart has a void in it now that will never heal until I am back with my son.

[@momusicfan]

Reminded me so much of Eric Clapton's song "Tears in Heaven", he wrote after his 4 year old boy fell 53 stories out an open window, that was in the process of being repaired. A close friend of mine lost his only two young boys to drowning. He never recovered and had a shortened life. Too many tragic events we have to deal with down here. Thanks Don for doing this song. 1st time I have seen the video for it.

[@RockN2Country]

@David Johnson I remember that so vividly when it was reported about Clapton's son falling out the window in NYC, pretty much in my back yard. I was in stunned shock at that, just as I am whenever someone loses a child.

The loss of a friend is such a uniquely harsh loss, and even though the pain lessens over time, the awareness of the loss stays with you your whole life. I lost a good friend just after my senior year of high school and I still miss Ricky to this day, and that was 40 years ago. Thank you for commenting in here, and I hope others see it and say something heartwarming to you. Keep the faith, Jacob, even though you’ll always miss your friend. -Don

[@janieduncan7733]

Don, this is very real and the pain you see is very real. I lost a son and there is always a piece of you that is missing, yet the love for that child is never gone. You have to have those moments of being along, talking to God, and keeping your child alive inside your heart at all times. Yes, the pain is very very real, but you have to find a way to go on, to keep living until the day comes when you do go home and are joined together again. And if you have other children, you have to be strong for them and keep them going in life. I love Craig Morgan!! and I love his music!!

[@danivicious3490]

He lost his 19 year old son in a boating accident and wrote this song about trying to heal afterwards. I lost my son 8 years ago when he was seven months old and this song helped me heal in ways I couldn’t even tell you. Thank you so much for reacting to this song.

[@courtneykramer4679]

Thank you for reacting to this. I saw a clip of this before it was ever released when he performed it for the first time on the Opry’s Instagram story (the same day as Luke Comb’s Opry induction) and immediately did everything I could do find the song. The studio version didn’t get released until months later. He later revealed that after performing it at the Opry for the first time, he say Ricky Skaggs backstage and said how he can’t put it out because he barely got through the song without breaking down, but Ricky said that he had to. I’m so grateful he did; I can’t imagine how many people this song has touched.

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

This is my first time here on your page. I know his grief. I lost my son 26 years ago and I have 2 more children but it’s true what he said I won’t completely heal until I get to heaven. Even with my girls over the years I know I just went through the motions and 26 years later I still look forward to the day when I go home to be reunited with my son. My son Joshua Ryan only lived 50 minutes but his death has left a hole in me that will never be filled . Thank you for playing this.

[@RockN2Country]

@kathy cast Wow, I am so sorry you've dealt with that in your life. My (now ex) wife miscarried at the third week three times (being a ballerina she was absurdly aware of what went on within her body), and I remember how devastated she was after just three weeks. Being a guy I can't relate to what a woman would go through, but i can read your words and feel some of your pain. Keep the faith, and feel free to share anything you want on here. The folks are kind and some have dealt with a lot in their lives too, so you are in good company. Welcome to the channel, and I look forward to seeing you comment---fun, painful, anything---whenever you're in the mood. :-)

[@chrislane5145]

I could never imagine the pain of losing a child. What if someone heard this song that had not lost a child and it made them take a step back and try to imagine what they would be like? What if it made them be a better father? What if the pain in Craig's voice and face is the connection someone needed to realize we are not guaranteed tomorrow and they become a better parent?

I am so glad you did his official video because I have watched his other versions and feel like the video is the one that allowed him to truly show his emotions with just the recording crew. You had the reaction I felt you would have. I could tell as I watched your face. That's what I love about your reactions; they are real and you are not afraid to express your true emotion. Not giving this video a rating is probably the best compliment you could have given him. Thank you.

He addresses the issues you mentioned in this song. Not sure which song came first but they go together! What a voice!

Wikipedia: Craig Morgan Greer was born in Kingston Springs, Tennessee, on July 17, 1964.[1] He became an emergency medical technician at age 18. He served on active duty for nine and a half years in the US Army as a member of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and remained in the reserves for another six and a half years.[2 The reason the Grand-Ol Opgrand ole opry is memorable is Craig stands at the mic, shoulders back, hands curled, at attention at probably one of the most difficult times in his life to honor his son and placing his faith in God that some day there will be an understanding of why.

[@bashfyl]

It's like dying every day. Some mornings you wake up and have a perfect moment of not remembering that he's gone and then you remember and it feels like dying all over again, day after day, year after year..

[@RockN2Country]

@Bashfyl I'm so sorry you've been through that, as from what you wrote and the way you wrote it a person would have to have gone through it to put it the way you did. I hope sometimes you're able to smile or laugh about things once in a while, but that kind of thing would take a big toll on a person.

[@bashfyl]

RockN2Country You have to find things to smile about, especially if you have other children. You can’t let the pain of losing one consume you to the point of losing the rest to your grief. It’s harder than anything else I can imagine.

Saddest story ever and yet the song that those who lost children can understand. Plus a moment when another artist pulls their song to win the best song in the CMA's because Craig's song was right behind his song so Craig would win.

I remember up here in Toronto when I heard the news of his son...So sad...💖

[@bamar3834]

That’s because he knows the lord💝

[@wolfmccray3547]

Hey Don, Nuff said.... Thanks... Keep RN2C BROTHER!!!

[@sjgomes89]

The first time he performed this song live he stopped halfway and apologized to the crowd because he couldn't do it.

[@footlongtitan8533]

He lost his son about 3 years ago in a drowning accident so sad, but I love this song so much

[@dougc9323]

Love you way you break it down.

[@RockN2Country]

@Doug C Thank you for that, and welcome aboard the channel

Great song. Heartbreaking song. One of my best friend's son committed suicide. I watched the pain and grief eat him and his wife up and couldn't do anything to help them.

[@michellehammock3023]

It's unnatural for a parent to bury a child, which is why we never plan for it, we pray against it, and if it happens it is equally as devestating as it was joyous when that child was born.

[@JJ-uo8eo]

So sad he lost his son. So sorry Craig.

[@waffles2927]

This song brings a tear to my eye but you really have to understand the message and he didn’t understand it

[@RockN2Country]

@Waffles Oh, I understood it midway through the song. Initially he held back on some of the context and let the song develop, and by the time it was over it was perfectly clear what had happened to his and his wife's son.

[@oldmcdonald9582]

another great song by him when he was younger was it gets crazy when a man cant get a woman off his mind a song written by bill anderson. he does on country family reunion. just type his name and the song. you wont regret it

[@DrewHortonWorship]

You need to see the one when he does it live on the Kelly Clarkson show! Amazing

[@sheilasisk7550]

He sang this song after his 19 year old son drowned in a tubbing accident. 2 days before they could find him.

[@theresagluckhertz8064]

His son was only 19 and they were so close

[@jessicabrown2434]

The video is amazing because of the song but you need to see one of the videos of him doing it live, The Grand Ole Opry or The Kelly Clarkson show

[@slvrangel22]

This is not something I've experienced. But I imagine getting out of bed itself is a task. That much of the days and weeks following the loss are spent reliving thar day and contemplating the "if only's" all day long. I also see that in situations like this that a lot of respectable men will feel a sense of duty to be the rock for their wife no matter how deep the pain runs,

[@ness1860]

I'm sure others have said this but he wrote this after the loss of his 19 yo son after a drowning accident.

[@kathyneuman5613]

Yes it did. Boating accident at 17.
