My dad had cancer when this song came out and I was driving when I heard it on the radio. All these years later it still makes me cry. My dad has been gone 25 years now and I can still close my eyes and see my Daddy's hands. It's amazing that he has been gone half my life but I still miss him.

My Mama asked what song did we want to play at his funeral andthis ones the first one we picked. My Daddy was loved by many. I wish I could have one more day with him. He passed away of cancer. I was 22 yr old at the time and I still cry like a baby over him! He left behind a wife 3 daughters 23, 22 & 14 and a son 11. and a grand baby was on the way but is now 10 months old!

[@I-AM-A2Z]

At 15, my daughter sang this song to me, for my birthday present. She couldn't afford a present, but her singing this song was the most valuable gift I have ever gotten. We lived a hard life, and I was hard on her; not mean, not cruel, but never sugar coating life, or her need to be able to take care of herself without anyone to depend on. Now that she has a family of her own, the reality of the meaning in this song and how I chose to raise her, has come home. Tonight I played this song for her, after she was doing some karaoke with my grandchildren. The song snatched them all back to reality. After a tearful round of hugs and explianing to my grandchildren why mom was crying so, it became a teachable moment for children who have never wanted for anything. My hat goes off to all those that have been touched by the meaning behind this song. My daughter did not know how much this song meant to me either, until tonight, that is. God bless you all.

Thought about Holly Dunn as I drove past her burial site in Salado, Texas on my way to my Sister in Law's funeral in Austin this past weekend where my nephews had put together a video of their mom and her late father set to this song. I told them I had the privilege of Hearing Holly do this song in person at a smaller venue years ago. RIP Holly, you are not forgotten.

[@dallocious]

As soon as the opening notes of the violin come on, the tears start. No matter how many times I hear this song, it ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS makes me cry. We played this song at Daddy's funeral along with a slideshow of some of his army photos, and it was beautiful. A perfect way to remember the great man that he was. RIP Daddy. You don't have to fight anymore.
