Hey Matt i doubt youll ever read this but 3 years ago you saved my life. I was sitting in my dodge pickup with a loaded 9mm lookin at the barrel. My mother was going through stage 4 luekmia and I was about to give it all up. I received a call i was having a little girl. She's now 3 and because of you i have took up country singin and playin guitar. Mama was so happy and i havent seen a smile that big in many years. For the first time she got out of that bed and walked. She did not walk for many months, because of that little girl she gained strength. Sadly mamma lost her battle but your song reminds me every day to keep fighting. Remmeber the name cause one day we will meet and i hope i can be on stage together. JW Harris sir. God bless and much obliged.

This is the truth. My dad committed suicide when i was 17. It was a Saturday morning. He called me at 5 am, I was at my best friends house. Being a teenager, i didnt think much of it. He woke up at 4-5 usually. I answered and said "dad are you Crazyyy its 5 am." And laughed. He said "oh sorry were you sleeping?" I with a teenage attitude said "obviously dad. Can i call you when the suns up". I talked to him at about 9. At 11:30 i felt sick, i told mt best friend i had to leave and go check on my dad something felt off. I got there and he had committed suicide. Thankfully when i arrived he wasnt deceased so he didnt die alone. He died holding my hand knowing that i loved him more than anything and appreciated everything he did being both the parents i needed on his own. The ambulance arrived and he passed. I wish I wouldnt have made him feel like a bother that morning. I had NO IDEA what he was feeling. Maybe he called to talk it through. We were best friends. I wish he would have just told me to quit being a brat. Or that i would have known. I just thought he was calling to see if i had fun for my birthday the night before.

[@barbchartierraudonis]

Even though it’s been 6 years since you wrote this comment, please share this with your friend. And before you disqualify it as “too much time has passed” or “it wouldn’t make a difference if I did”, hear me out. As humans, we ALL want to know that we made a difference in another’s life - a positive difference. Many times we don’t find that out directly, sometimes we do. But when you’ve got the chance to tell your BEST FRIEND…..man, DO IT! You never know when thoughts could be going through his head at some point during his life when HE’S struggling - wondering “what the hell difference do I make”, etc. Don’t ever think you truly KNOW, EVERYTHING a person is going through. After all…..he doesn’t even know what hard time YOU were going through, so badly that YOU were struggling with ending it. He never knew. 😉 “Make that call.” 😉 It’ll do your heart REAL good. Trust me.

[@jkutches17]

Like many, I've also been there. back at 19yo. I'm 32 now, married, two kids, 3 cars, and a large dog. Being a father is typically a thankless job. but it's those little moments that make it worth it. Come home and pass out from exhaustion, wake up at 7pm and find one of your babies in your arms watching TV. That love makes life worth fighting for.

I was saved 25 years ago when my 6 year old daughter called me and asked if she could come over and hang out with me. It wasn't my weekend to have her but I knew at that point, she needed me and how selfish it would to leave her with no daddy. Now, her and I are super close and I even have a 9 month old granddaughter who has me wrapped around her finger.

[@alexanderblackburn4520]

I was considering ending it all, i was sitting on base (because i couldnt have a weapon), i was about to drive home and get one. I called everyone in my phone, 1 guy answrred the call and invited me over, he is the reason im here today. He heard the hurt in my voice and invited me to his place, no one else including my girl friend of the time cared enough. I now live my life in a way to give back to him and his actions. My phone is always available to those near me.

[@minniebrim8210]

You are so right. I am elderly and I know what its like to not have visitors. To be fair, I do live a ways from most who I care about. They are raising families and have jobs, trying to make ends meet. So itis understandable that I do not see them often. And I love them just the same. So, I spend a lot of time with phone visits with some who are shut-ins, disabled, etc. It may sound like I think I'm so special. But NO! But I do feel blessed. And loved. And it makes me feel useful and it does make me feel uplifted. God is good!

A couple of weeks ago I broke down, I’m 20 years old and been through hell growing up but I was never the type to complain I did whatever I had to do to better my situation, I lost one of my buddies to him killing himself and another body to him being murdered, I was never wanted as a child my mom gave me to my grandparents and they passed away in the same year a couple of months apart when I was 7, then I started living with my mom and I know then she wanted me now but something always made me feel like I never belonged anywhere in this world and I always delt with that growing up, and to this day it affects my relationship and my friends and I always feel like I never belong, so I try to be funny and smile and do whatever I can to make people laugh and be loud and goofy, and well since I was 18 I left my moms and started working in the oilfields of Texas and I been doing this for 2 years now and I just never wanted a handout and I never asked nobody for nothing I did whatever I could to get it myself and well I ended up getting a truck and a apartment and that meant a lot to me cause growing up my family was poor and I used to have to eat like a orange or a apple a day when we didn’t have school so me and my little sisters can eat or I would I have to not eat at all so they can at least have food in there stomach, and so getting a apartment And truck meant a lot to me and I cherished it a lot well I always felt like I didn’t belong anywhere growing up and that caused me to push away the love of my life and hurt her and tear her down and it caused me to drink a lot and drink away my emotions and push everything aside and get angry at times and say and do things to hurt everybody in my path, so everything started going downhill I lost my woman the oilfield started slowing down and I was on the verge of losing my job our hours got cut so I couldn’t pay my lights my rent my truck I got a eviction notice and everything was just pushing me back down and ruining everything, well I called my woman and told you I’m Ending it all and I hung up, I took a bottle of pills and laid on the ground crying missing my grandparents and I swolled the whole bottle well I laid on the floor and I passed out and I don’t remember anything after that, the next thing I remember is my girl had her fingers down my throat making me throw up and her holding me and now Im here 1 month later back on top and back trying to become a better man, I learned to never give up, never stop having faith in God and never let the demons get a hold of you, to keep fighting and that better days will come. I pray for everybody that’s willing to take there life, don’t do it I love you your family loves you and no matter what you belong here and you’ll always belong here.

When they popped in my head I heard my best friends voice saying Brandon your kids need you I need you and we love you more then you know. That split second saved my life. That’s the second time my best friend saved my life and I love her dearly for it.

[@rustyshacklefrench]

God bless you. My little brother is named Brandon and he's been having a rough time. Your comment is the sign I needed to call him.

[@davidholmes2519]

I just about took my own life about a month ago after me and my ex fiance had a break up but I realized that I have an amazing 3yr old daughter an amazing 6 yr step daughter and amazing girlfriend that make my life amazing now

[@chancegordon8129]

I wish I had someone to talk to right now. I’m 20 years old and just lost my great grandmother while i am in AIT for the military. She was the most important person in my life and I’m struggling a lot right now. This song is very powerful and means a lot

[@ShaggyPGames]

I'm just a stranger on the internet but if you need to someone to talk to I got your back

[@matthewtoddsr.6743]

Chance I hope this finds you well I’ve been their brother lost my Grandmother and sister on the same day in 2020 then 3 months later my brother you can and will get through it we’ve all got your back

[@luigi2018]

Hey man, hope you’re doing good. Also in the Army. If you need someone to talk to reach out

[@jeremybradshaw5711]

Hey man. I know kinda how you feel. my grandpa died last year in AIT for me. I'm very sorry to hear that for you. it is a struggle and I still struggle it to this day. but i promise it does get alittle easier but you'll never forget it.

[@plantlover73672]

Hey man, I hope you are doing well. I just found out my grandma has cancer and I lost my great grandmother a couple years ago and trust me, it does get better. Shit happens in life, but it gets better. Life is all about the ups and downs. You just have to find the little things that make life worth living and that keep pushing you forward.

[@DavidCross857]

[@jmarie62679]

This song hits me so deep in my soul. In 2010 I was assaulted by my ex. By the fall of 2011 I had a complete mental breakdown over the trauma, the stress of a trial against him, and just trying to process what happened to me. One day things got so bad that I found myself in my car, driving, fast, towards a tree I knew was big enough that I wouldn't survive the impact. I had never in my life been suicidal, but that day, it was all just too much and I was absolutely done and truly felt my family and friends would be better off not having to watch the train wreck I had become. 2 miles before I got to that tree, my phone rang. I wasn't going to answer it but I looked at it and my 13 year old niece's name was on the caller ID. I knew I couldn't let her think I had tried to answer and wrecked, so I answered. All she said was Hi Aunt Jamie, what are you doing? Just the sound of her sweet, precious voice was enough to snap me out of the devastation I was feeling and before I knew it, I had passed the tree, pulled over immediately and tried to hide the tears that were falling so she wouldn't know and I just talked to her about the things 13 year old girls talk to their Aunt about. That girl saved my life that day and she doesn't even know it. 10 years later I'm so very thankful for that call. If you're at the place I found myself in 10 years ago, I hope and pray that either you make a call to get help or the call that can save you comes. Life is worth living. It does get better. Please don't give up. If you know someone who may be in a bad place, make the call. It might just save their life.

[@FORDultra]

I'm so glad you answered that call, and hope things have gotten better for you!

[@troylovell2134]

About 12 years ago, I sat in my Jeep with a gun in my mouth. My phone pinged with a PM, then seconds later a text message, then a few more seconds and it started ringing. It was a friend of mine. He said something told him to get a hold of me. I'm glad he did. I was truly at the end of my rope at that point.

[@bobbysmith7958]

Shows how it is important to check on your friends

[@ccvagosgaming5928]

ive lost three best friends.I would do anything in this world to go back and change it all. I miss them everyday and I joined the military so that I could keep their memory alive and feel like im doing something that they would be proud of.

[@unstopabble9137]

Today was gonna be the day He'd already wrote the note And parked that Chevrolet At the end of that dead end road Had his finger on the trigger; just about to end everything He was taking one last long breathe; when he heard his cell phone ring And his best friends say man where you been? We're headed down to the lake this weekend You better not miss it 'cause buddy I swear It won't be the same If you ain't there And I told that girl that you like so much You were coming along and her eyes lit up I better let you go man I really hope I didn't catch you in the middle of anything He said you kinda did but I don't mind at all I'm glad you called In another town down the road In the backseat of a car Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go to far He said how are we gonna have this child When were both headed off to school? He convinced her late one night there's only one thing to do She was scared to death in that waiting room When the nurse asked how far along are you She said 5 weeks and just about then her phone lit up And his call came in Saying baby I was wrong about everything I've already bought you a diamond ring we' re gonna start a life Would you be my wife Boy or girl; pink or blue; yeah either way All she could say as she felt those tear drops falls was I'm so glad you called If someone you know is weighing on your mind And needs a friend on the end of that other line Don't hesitate what you say may seem so small But who knows They might be glad you called So make the call Yeah make that call If you make it down to this part down here I wanna tell you something.Its not worth it.You will cause more damage to your family and friends.Talk to them about how you feel.Please get some help.I am sorry for whoever lost anyone over suicide or tried suicide.

[@bigpuma2149]

Another really close friend of mine who was going to hang out with us when I got back called me sobbing on the phone with the news... I promise you, had he called, I would have gone UA in a heart beat to help him. Call someone, please! Don't fight your demons alone

Going through a hard time friend just sent me this and i love it but even more so him for taking time to give a crap I gave up 7 years ago and ended it by the grace of God I was saved and found by my family and life is still hard but I realize now that I was taking the easy way out while leaving the people who loved me most here to suffer and made a promise that I would never do that again but the last week has tried to push me around and the person who sent me this will probably never know how much it meant just being there thank u jerjer i love u man

I wanted to end my life about two months ago. I felt something different when I tried. My brother walked into my house and told me to grab my fishing pole. I hid the gun in the couch as my 2 nieces ran to me and jumped in my arms. That was my wake up call. Don't leave the the babies grow up without their uncle/father/cousin etc. Your family needs you point blank.

Have not heard this song in about 5 years and I still tear up hearing it. I remember when it first came out.

I did that 8 years ago and I got so many great comments and texts and I developed a friendship I still have to this day because of it

2012. My daughter died at birth, and the love my life left me 2 weeks after we lost her. A month later my dog was run over and killed. I felt so numb and alone. One night I got in my car and drove to Chesapeake Bay Bridge, with the intent to end it all. Right as I got there, I asked God to forgive me and told Him if there was any reason to live... Give me a sign. My best friend literally called in that moment... Said she was on her way to see me, BC she felt like I needed a friend for a few days. She saved my life that night. And I am so thankful someone called.

[@foxkitsunegaming7659]

July 4th my best friend video called and ended their life with me watching and scrambling to call for help states away. I wish I could of stopped her. I find healing in music and appreciate this. I wish my call had been enough. If ever you are struggling call someone for help. Everyone is precious to someone. Don't forget someone loves you.

[@Wantedspark10]

This song saved me. The only difference is instead of my best friend making a call to me I thought to myself I don’t want my best friend getting the call about me and I realized I can beat this and I was right I could beat it and I did

[@SilverF250s]

Proud of you. Stay strong 💪🏽

[@Wantedspark10]

@Sierra Mueller don’t do it. I promise it’s not worth. Suicide is a long term solution to a very temporary problem. It may seem hard rn but I promise it gets better. I’ve been through the same thing you’re going through and it sucks. I promise things will get better. I’m a volunteer firefighter and I know what it’s like to hear those calls come over the radio. It doesn’t just affect your family. It also affects us

[@Wantedspark10]

@Sierra Mueller don’t be sorry. Just try to think things through. I’ve been in your shoes and I know it’s hard. Things will get better

[@Wantedspark10]

I quit listening to new country 20 years ago when it changed, I listened to this song this morning, 2 days after thanksgiving 2023 and realized what this song was about, it’s a beautiful song.

[@damasteryu]

Is it just my area or is country media blind? This song doesn't even have much publicity and I've never heard of it on the radio, but finally was able to hear it on Pandora and was actually moved by the emotion in the song. Hell, even nowadays I'd rank this as one of the top songs, on my list anyways. Not sure what they're doing on the radio stations, but they sure as hell aren't doing it right.

[@laxxy9877]

The radio stations are busy playing ghetto ass shit music along with the normal rock and some metal. But the country stations always seem to play the same stuff over again. The radio never plays songs with actual meaning. Honestly the only song I've heard on the radio of any meaning was Never Too Late by the rock band Three Days Grace.
