Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying | Reaction

[@SweetAngelEyes831]

I personally found out I had cancer when I was 17... and this song had just came out... it came back when I was 19, but I’m a survivor and warrior... this song holds a special place in my ❤️... it got me through it all! I cried, I lived, and I conquered... 🙏🏼💪🏼

[@allenmurphy7630]

Dear ma'am I hope and pray you continue to be strong and healthy and that you grow to be in your 80's and above. God bless you #KeepTheFaith #KickCancerWhereItHurts #GloryBeToGod

A couple of years ago, I was told I will only live 5-10 years. *funny* I bought a guitar, I'm writing a book, and I'm enjoying time with my grandchildren. I won't regret a thing.

[@paigeanne1325]

…..please tell me you are still enjoying your time with your grandchildren and have learned more about the guitar😭🥺❤️✨ I’m so sorry🙏🏻live like you were dying my dear….in a way, it is freeing realizing time is fleeting I don’t know if that’s weird or wrong to say but you truly just live so freely knowing your time is coming…I hope you’re still with us though and giving more Memories to relive in the next life❤️✨

[@johnlake4809]

Paige, I'm happy to say I'm still here as of March 2023. My condition has worsened, but I'm on a first name basis with Jesus, so I'm not scared. This song is on my favorite playlist, Doc is still a favorite reactor. Thank you for Acknowledging me. It's affirming. I love Nightbird, if you haven't given her a listen, allow your ears to be her legacy. God bless you, and I thank you!

[@007videovixen]

His dad was Tug McGraw a famous baseball player. Tim didn't find out until he was a young adult.

[@aussiefirie]

And it took several years before Tug finally admitted to being Tim's father

[@757optim]

Which added more gravity to an already heavy song.

[@scottallencarr]

Wow. How did I not know this? *CW music and MLB fan

[@MrLindy823]

Truth! His Dad denied him and Tim never knew until he found his birth certificate!

[@missyannp36]

@@MrLindy823 Yep. When Tug saw Tim for the first time he said no need for DNA because they looked so much alike. I met Tug at Tim's concert in Philly ( which of course you know is where Tug played baseball) I walked right up to Tug and he was so nice. I had Tim's tshirt in my hand and I asked if he would sign. Something happened and he walked away and I was like ok...guess not LOL A moment later I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around and it was Tug. He was like where did ya go? I thought you were following me over to the table so I could sign your shirt. LOL Just the nicest guy. He died right after my dad....I only met my dad a handful of times. He left when I was 4 and this song just got to me. Sorry for the long comment. LOL I just wanted to share.Stupid me washed the shirt

[@johannadavis7594]

His dad MLB Player Tug McGraw and the relief pitcher who threw the strike out that won the Phillies the 1980 World Series, had been diagnosed with brain cancer ultimately dying when Tim came out with this song. Which is why this song was so important to him.

[@bradleyvogelsang6851]

Tug McGraw MLB pitcher was his dad, was on the mound when Philadelphia Phillies won the world series 1980.

[@msredstilettoscraftsshoesc5152]

I've been fighting throat cancer for the last 3 years...so I know what it's like to hear that kind of news...to face mortality. Unfortunately, I've been so sick that I couldn't go sky diving, Rocky Mountain climbing or went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu, but I have tried to love deeper, speak sweeter, give forgiveness I'd been denying. It's not always easy...I have my days where I'm angry, sad, scared..where I've been so tired of fighting that I wanted to give up....but I'm NOT going to let this beat me! It WON'T win! Moral of the story (and song)...don't wait until the day you hear that kind of news to live life...to love with all you have...do it now & do it every day!

I'm totally with you. I want to be skipping along blissfully unaware and then drop. I do not want to know. If I can't fix it, no need to have to worry about it. Also, I've never seen the point of jumping out of a perfectly good plane.

[@tekay44]

That is everyone’s goal. To die in your sleep, as an old man/woman.

[@mikimicb1]

He preformed this when his dad was dying of cancer. Later on people said he was freaking out back stage, when asked why he said "this is the kind of song that will define my career" thats how important it was

[@kj320175]

I've always said that if I get incurable cancer or a brain tumor that's going to kill me or something, I would have a party with all my friends say goodbye and the next day I would disappear into the woods never to be heard from again.

[@mjking9019]

New to your channel. I love Tim McGraw. This is by far one of my favorite songs of his. I've seen him in concert once and loved it. Would I want to know I'm dying? To understand my decision, allow me to give you some context. I used to be a secretary in a hospital in Palliative Care and in Oncology (cancer)/Internal medicine. I saw a lot of death. Young, old, expected, unexpected, cancer, AIDS and everything in between. I've lost family and friends. Some were old, some still in school, some knew, some didn't. A few even died in their sleep. When I think about them, about the patients and their families. Some left family, some had no family, and a few were estranged from their families. Only regrets people ever expressed were to not make amends, to not let people know how they felt. If it was me, no matter what I was dying from, I most certainly would want to know. I'd want the time to spend with those who meant the most to me. To make amends if need be. To forgive others. I do my best to live like I'm dying. I do my best to always say nice, sweet positive things to people. If I can't, then I don't say anything. I move forward. I've loved this song since it came out and I love it as much now. Sometimes I wonder why I'm here and somebody else isn't. Why this friend or family member are gone. I know those who died too soon would give anything for one more day. I use that to remind me to live my life to the fullest.

Shit happens , big and small it's how you react, this song came out the same year I got cancer, and now I'm 56 and am waiting to find out if I have a brain tumor... or just a stroke...hell I never thought I'd say "just a stroke " Lmao but baby you can bet if it's cancer again, I'll do all I can to kick its ass!

There’s a peace and scariness to knowing that there’s an end but a new beginning…..there’s a quote I heard from a Viking show and it says “the gods envy us….they envy us because we’re mortal, any moment might be our last….everything’s more beautiful, because we’re doomed” I have always wanted to die young however because this world is just getting worse and I’m very sad about it and I feel like this life isn’t how it used to make people feel…..my father said the other day that life starts getting sad when u realize you have more yesterdays than tomorrows….yeah

[@JeffreyWillis800]

The thing to understand here is that the moment we are born, we are all dying. It is just a question of when and how. When we realize that, well, what do we make of the time that we have, just like the song says. Of course religion kicks into effect for many people once they realize this, and so the question becomes, do I believe in God, and if so, what does God require/design for life? We are all dying though, the moment we are born, so don't fool yourselves with youthful boldness and carelessness.

To be a club member of the Cancer club is a special membership. I had stage 3b lung cancer six years ago. This song nails it to perfection. But the song is more than just about dying from cancer. It tells ALL of us to sit, stop, and reflect on being the best person you can be, because the reality is... we are all dying. Every one of us has a date with destiny. Live your life to the fullest, and be kind to one another along the way.

[@JeffreyWillis800]

Well, having seen people die in my arms, people I love very dearly, I can tell you that the "what if" was not on their minds at all, nor on their lips. On the death bed, people aren't thinking about what they should have done or could have done, but rather what they have done. And I don't mean, what have you done for yourself, which is vanity, but rather what have you done in what really matters. And then, if you haven't done so already in life, you have to face the mountain of what is subjective truth, and what is objective truth. And there, now you have life at its simplest.
