REACTION | HOME FREE "MOM (MOTHER'S DAY)"

[@stephanginther9051]

I had a single father, he did his best to 'mom' us and did a pretty awesome job. I have an awesome stepmom now (my dad didn't date until we were adults because he felt that if he was off dating it would be like we had neither parent. His patients was rewarded by the awesome woman he ended up with) I'm reminded of the song 'I Believe' from Savage Garden where in one part they say, 'I Believe your parents did the best job they new how to do' Our parents aren't prefect, they made mistakes and have regrets, but for most, seeing us happy is the best way we can repay them.

[@richardcarpenter7429]

Your a beautiful young lady thank you for making my eyes happy

[@shadsullivan7817]

I am 47, and I call my Mom every Friday. If I do not, she worries. She is an amazing Mom! She was always up when we got up, and still awake when we went to bed. She worked outside of the home, as well as inside. My Dad was big and strong, but my Mom had all of the power. He would drop to his knees with her slightest glance, and with one shine of her blue eyes. We did not fear our Dad's wrath, yet we did fear our Mother's disappointment in us. Still to this day, I would never raise my voice to my Mother. Ever. She means way to much to me! Thanks for this great reaction!!! Thanks!!!

[@stephanie5872]

Chris arranged this and it has always been one of his favorites that he's done if you ask him

[@Andurian]

Thank you for also mentioning Angel Babies ❤

[@deadgrlsuperstar]

of course! their mamas loved them just as much 💕

[@bigbangarmory9728]

Miss you mom!

[@roberthudson1959]

Don't worry, you weren't the only one crying. My mother died 2 January at 86, and I literally dreamed about her today.

[@sethkraai9075]

Super sorry for your loss. :( hope you cherish the memories forever. :)

[@orlinlang430]

Robert, my mom passed a few years back ..... for me, still trying to come to grips with it.

[@jackiepierce1467]

Garth Brooks wrote this song for his mother. She had been diagnosed with, I think, tongue cancer. She had to have part of her tongue removed. But, she didn't last long after the surgery. It seemed like it was only about a year. Beautiful song. LOVED it too. I was blessed with a wonderful Mom, too.

[@Widda68]

Mothers are mothers forever.

[@orlinlang430]

As I can confess .... fathers (dads) are fathers forever also. I will do ANYTHING for my little girl. (Okay, not little .... she is 22)

[@Bay_Trekker]

Ok, here's the deal... Step 1. You ugly cry. Step 2. Then I ugly cry. Step 3. I come back. Step 4. We go back to Step #1 and repeat. I love your reactions and honest emotions. You remind me so much of my granddaughter who lives far away and who I miss terribly. I always called her my Colorful Unicorn 🦄. Just remember that we keep coming back to spend time with you because we love you for who you are. Stay true to yourself.

[@marlahudgins7038]

I feel you Ashley.. That song hits me hard everytime

[@marenehanson5526]

Had my Mom for 99 healthy years. I gave her hell. Very independent type. Glad I was able to care for her 24/7 her last few years. Kept her out of a nursing home. Her greatest fear.

[@garywinters4636]

Well, it is a "reaction video," and you got teary, I got teary, and I'll bet a bunch of other people did too. So reactions, check. haha. Thank you for sharing this. Go hug Mom.

[@orlinlang430]

Gary, I hope your family is doing well. I expect everyone got teary. This may sound odd, but I miss the smell of my mother. I am close to 50 years old, but still remember .............

[@jankreps5115]

You need to see their live performance with a really sweet ending. As they finish a little girl in the audience says “ My Mommy”! More happy tears! This is a Garth Brooks cover! Great Reaction!!❤️💕

[@pieteruys8961]

My mom raised me and my siblings alone since i was 3 months old. this year i couldnt be with her because of this lock down. i cried the whole day and when i saw this i broke down completely.

[@oramonika9758]

What a beautiful reaction. I lost my Mother but I was very lucky to have her for so long. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Beautiful song! Loved it! Thank you, Deadgirl. ❤🙂

[@steveray9655]

The first time I saw a video of them performing this song, it was a live performance. There was a little girl sitting up front with her Mom, and being a bit fidgety (like kids can be), and right at the end, she said (very loudly) "Mommy"! When they finished, Tim asked if they were available for the rest of their tour, because the timing was perfect!

[@meeting_meghan]

I love your reaction. There is a live version with an absolutely sweet ending. In 2016 Chris's final show was on mother's day so over the couple of shows that weekend the guys brought out their mom's as well as the wives with children to celebrate them. Although I don't think this song was sang at that moment. But yes this is an absolutely beautiful song, both from Home Free and Garth Brooks.

[@tammymoseley1348]

The live version with the adorable ending is on KZbin. And I was at that show, with my mom, about a week before Mother's Day. It was the perfect way to end that song that night and you should definitely see it, even if you don't do a reaction.

[@sharontaylor1493]

Great reaction sweetie. You go give your Mom that hug

[@pattymesagal2654]

i sent this song to my granddaughter when she gave birth to my great grandson. it seemed the right thing to do.

[@kristindunstan172]

They either make you cry because it's a tear jerker or they make you laugh until you cry. Either way, you need tissues!! 🙂

[@belinda9696]

We love our moms always, no matter what age you are. This is sad, but so sweet too.

[@dodgeman789]

Im falling way behind but wow this 1 hit me in the nuts lost my mom due to illness a few yrs back. This brought me to tears im playing this at her grave. Great reaction too btw😊

[@gregkokegei2531]

Massive hugs to you sir. Losing a loved one is never easy, but I can only imagine losing the person who has cared for you through thick and thin😭

[@cheryljohnson733]

to all moms, moms to be, moms that should have been, all everywhere this is perfect.

[@louf1025]

So sweet your shoutout to your mom. I missed the opportunity to say I love you one last time to mine before she died years ago. I’d give anything to have that chance again. Love to you and your mom. And dammit, Home Free for making people cry! Lol. Love them too.

[@susanhorn4325]

I knew this video was going to make you emotional. Me too. I loved your message and the beautiful words you shared about your mom.

[@joanwharff6483]

You’re a real Sweetheart, take care now & go give your Mommy a hug.......too hell with “social distancing “...a hug is so important 💖🙃‼️

[@brianzigich5563]

Seeing you cry made me cry...you have a golden heart I'm guessing built by a lot of hardship, it's good to see that people still feel and still love. I lost my wife I 2017 tragically and my heart has been broken since...she was the best woman, best mother and best friend I could have dreamed of and I miss her terribly. You are a wonderful woman and I wish you nothing but the best, I can only hope to meet a woman like you in the armpit of I could care less land called California. Happy Mother's day and thanks for making me feel!

[@williamroop451]

I didn't see you cry one tear... I couldn't see through my own.... and I'm 56. The words and vocal presentation are touching enough - then they add the video. I love how the percussion track was done as heartbeats.. If you ever get the chance to listen to it again, you will notice all the levels that went into this song. I've listened to it about 20 times and it STILL brings the tears out. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@lunarose698]

I wish I had a mom like yours. My mom, who passed away in 2021, wasn't anything like this...

[@timbarnard5424]

What a great reaction. Love the honesty and directness you bring to it. Always look forward to your posts!

[@annemariemohr214]

Thank you so very much for being so real! I know how much you love Home Free and their videos - so do I! I love watching your reactions - I know they are true and honest. Hugs to you.

[@ericgaudet4497]

Great reaction to Mom From Home Free and Happy Mother Day to your mom Ashley .

[@hlbjazz]

This is a Garth Brooks song. Beautiful.

[@adwenb]

This is a tear jerker

[@bernadette3069]

Thank you so much. I have 2 daughters. One is my Angel baby. She would've been 13 years old this year. And I have an 8 year old daughter. Yesterday was my 47th bday. I am a single mom doing it all on my own. Both of my daughters are/were preemies. My oldest was 23 weeks and my youngest 27 weeks. My 8 year old has Autism. But we are extremely close. Lost my mom and oldest 11 months apart.

[@deadgrlsuperstar]

happy birthday & happy mother's day!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@bernadette3069]

@@deadgrlsuperstar thank you so very much. This video made me emotional too lol

[@bernadette3069]

@@deadgrlsuperstar my daughter picked some flowers today and she handed them to me and said "For you mommy. Happy Mommys day. Thank you. You are the best mommy in the whole world. You're my best friend." Omg I lost it. She is 8 and autistic but incredibly sweet and so intelligent. She was abused by her dad two years ago and I had lost custody due to his lies.. I got custody of her back within 3 months that he had her. And she has never been more happy than being back with me. She knows where home is. We are extremely close.

[@phyllisb4634]

Great reaction. I hope you will show this reaction to your Mom. btw, thanks for mentioning all the angel babies that are missed.

[@pinkfire2344]

My mother was my best friend with whom I shared everything. We were partners in crime, for sure! I'm not even joking. I'm gonna date myself here, but we would literally do the Laverne and Shirley "Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!" bit in the street when we went for walks. I cry every single time I hear this song. I can't help it. I lost my mom 7 1/2 years ago, and although so much time has past it still stings. Not gonna lie. This is such a beautiful song and such a gorgeous tribute to moms everywhere.

[@mitchellb4551]

great reaction! you should do My old man Home Free Cover for fathers day next mouth! also you should keep this family train rolling with spaceship by home free. also also at some point you should do Claire Crosby in to the unknown Cover and or David Crosby Voice Blinds

Happy Mother's Day! Tissues ready! This one always hits me. Love my kids, miss my mom. Thank you! ^_^

[@Mikki44]

I love all of your reactions!

[@DiamondRioFan1]

I warned you that it was going to do this to you. It is a cover. Bonnie Tyler did it at first then Garth Brooks did it and had the most popularity with it. Home Free took it to an absolute BETTER level with their version!! But they usually do. I was looking forward to this reaction today. Love You Ashley!! Have a wonderful day and I'll catch up with you later!! :)

[@deadgrlsuperstar]

Bonnie Tyler?! What? I'm so glad you shared this, I definitely needed a good cry. This was a fantastic video for today!! Love you too! Hope you have a great Sunday!!!

[@arthurslaughter4122]

Mom died at 96 years old. Sadly for the last eight years or so she was in the long slow fade into black. for the last few years she didn't even know me. I still miss the Mom I had though.

[@amandasamson4513]

I love your reaction to this

[@Jelliebean42]

It's a Garth brooks cover but so so so beautiful!

[@michaelshafer5192]

good idea to go without the eye makeup for this one

[@EconKelly]

If not mentioned anywhere else, this is a Garth Brooks cover.

[@davidsanders5788]

Am I first? Happy mother's day to all the moms out there.

[@sallymaria]

This one is a tear-jerker at the best of times - go and hug your Mum and I hope you feel better for a good cry. You were talking about their respect for women - not to react to, but you might like to watch Tim's speech when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Museum of the Gulf Coast, thanking the five women who'd helped make him the musician he is today, starting with his mother. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvJl4Zuo7x3eck - I should give you a tissue/Kleenex warning for this, did you know Tim was a cryer as well?

[@catharineohlsen5995]

It’s my birthday today as well as my 13th Mother’s Day.

[@CrustyOldDave]

This is my first Mother's day without my Mom. I miss her so much. :(

Why did God creąte mothers for each of us? There simply were not enough angels and Saints to go around so God created mothers

A true and awesome statement.

If you need a song to make you smile and not cry (probably?) please check out Home Free's cover 'Thank God I'ma Country Boy' OH, on 'something different' please check out 'Oh Maggie' by the High Kings.

[@scottboa2738]

You're wrong (4:40) they were not talking to a baby. They were talking to an unborn child; hence the ultrasound at the end. And the words "time to go and meet your mom" which implies that the child hasn't met their mom yet. Unborn babies haven't, yet.

[@MatthewvMayo]

Its a cover. Garth Brooks is the original artist.

[@michaelchattick3589]

Would appteciat greatly if you played music of Mongolian Metal group, HU" and its Womans Song with Lzzy Hale.

Please be thankful that you had the opportunity to start treating your Mother right. My Stepdaughter put here Mom through hell and her Mom died of cancer. Her Mom never gave up on her but now my stepdaughter has to deal with reconcilable regret. Embrace the most important people in your life as much as you can......
