Age 55, Marine, fought, killed, got wounded, Now contemplating the end, and then I found your Music, never heard of you before, and honestly disliked every rap song I have ever heard, until Tom MacDonald.... thank you young man... Thank you.... Update 2 weeks later: I was literally sitting in my living room, making a noose, and planning, saw this video and posted the above reply... Next day, I had multiple replies to my post by people that do not know me but, thanking me for my service and asking me to not go through with my 'plan'. For two weeks now I have come back and read your replies, and it means something to me to read those replies. Thank you all for your words and the 'feelings' you have posted. I will not say that I am cured, I am not, I am still one 'bad day away' but I have a new weapon to use against that 'bad day' and it was given to me by all of you, HOPE.... thank you all Update week 3: I do know God and my savior is Jesus, it is my absolute fear of burning in hell, for committing the sin of suicide ( i am judging NO ONE with that statement ) that is MY belief, and it has forced me to stay here many times.. My family is... mostly gone, I am the youngest of 5, but actually having contact with them is a 1 or 2 times a year phone call, mostly my fault. But not a close family, I have a daughter that is 33 now, she lives in Osaka Japan, and when she was only 16 months old my ex-wife took her and her two sons back to Okinawa, ( while was deployed ) NIS would not help and other "Law Enforcement agencies" also would not help, I found them once when she was 12 and dropped everything to fly to Okinawa to try to become part of my daughters life, that did not work out. Found her again 5 years ago, online on FaceBook, and got to speak to her and exchange photos, I got photos of my 2 granddaughters, they like their mother are so beautiful!!! and then one day she deleted her FaceBook and moved from Okinawa to Osaka (she was going through a bad divorce), I have 2 friends neither of which are Veterans, and they both have families so me being single, it is hard to 'hang out' with them. Also I do not have any social media accounts, do not trust any company that much... Why all this info. because many have made statements, about family and God, so I just wanted you all to know I am still here, I am still fighting, but the spoon I am using to dig out with, is very small. I do come here and read the post that everyone makes, and I am humbled by the outpouring, from all of you!!!! Thank you all! Update 1 month: I have no words, you all have gathered, to pass me well wishes, I wish I could respond to each of you directly, personally, and yes I would hug each of you if I could, but with 449 replies that would be a monumental task, I do read each and every reply, and I try to " Like " each reply, but it seems KZbin has a limit to the numbers of " Likes " one can issue on a thread. I click them and then when I come back the " Like " I left is not there, I have to do it a few times to make it stick. Now to all of you that have lost someone in your Life, someone that served, some that paid for freedom ON the battlefield, some that came home and then.... passed.... GOD BLESS YOU!!! May HE take all your pain and loss away... May you remember the joyous times that you shared with that person, and forget the hurt!!! I know my story is not the hardest, I also know I have it better than many in the world do, I was not trying to say, I have it worse than any other, my original post was a Thank You to Tom, His video and music stopped me from doing something, that I have no right to do, So again, Thank You Tom MacDonald for your message, in your music!!! Many of you have stated you wanted to make contact, I am not on social media, I only had a FaceBook Account, because I found my daughter in Japan had one, and hoped I could connect to her there, when she deleted her facebook, I also deleted mine. Because of all your well wishes, I finally reached out, and I now have weekly video chats with a VA Psychologist, not sure how this will go but, one step.... Thank you all, for your kindness, and for the outpouring of love!!!! Update 6 weeks: Because of all the love, you all have sent. I am fighting back now, I allowed my self to become over weight and weak, which actually made the daily pain worse, and made my thought process much darker, I have set up an alarm that plays Toms Music to wake me up each morning, and I work out each morning now too, allowed myself to get so weak I could not do 10 push ups, when I started... now 2 weeks in I can and do 3 sets with other activities, after, IE burpies, mountain climbers, and free weights... I am not out of the forest yet, but more than half way through it!!!!! I do not know how to tell you all how much it meant to me, your comments and outpouring of love and respect!!! YOU ALL have saved one Marine from becoming a statistic!!! THANK YOU!!! Update 1 year + later: I am still fighting, my health has taken a turn for the worse, had a minor surgery 2 weeks ago, and a major surgery planned for April 20, ( surgery number 32 ) will be loosing a couple more feet of my intestine, and having all the abdominal mesh I currently have in me removed and a one covers all piece put in. This is a new type of mesh that my body is supposed to scar trough and make the abdominal wall stronger, it will be the 14th time I have had mesh put in me... Have not been able to work for several months due to pain and well, faulty bowels... Not sure how long recovery will take but I have no current income, so by time I have finished recovery from this next surgery, the Bank might be here to take my house away... If that happens I guess I will go deep woods and see just how good my survival training was!!! God Bless you all, for your wondeful comments and sorry for a bit of bad news...

Hi DallasTaylor.... I love & relate to this song. Just happened to see your comment & felt compelled to send you a little note....Just to let you know there's an old lady out here who is hoping you've been successfully managing the tough road to sobriety. I have the genetic 'demon genes', as do all my siblings & most of my ancestors. Fortunately, my own dependantcies didn't keep me from being a functioning member of society, but my dad, brothers & nephews haven't been able to escape the wraths of polyaddictions. And, realizing now, at 70 yrs old, that even though I've functioned & never got into any trouble....I could've far exceeded in my career & personal life had I not been 'using'.... So. Hang in DallasTaylor! You can still make your Momma proud & you absolutely can Win The Fight! I hope you're surrounded by people who want you to Win & will support your efforts & lift your spirits when you're going through the tough stuff. Good luck. Trust that the journey has it's rewards. Breathe deeply to clear your mind & calm your soul. And know, without a doubt, you're strong, you really do have worth & value and an important place in this Crazy world. May the grace of God bless & be with you, always. Who knows? You just might be one of those Angels we need here on earth right now!!! ✌️ & ❤️ Lil'Brother.....

And I told myself I think my guardian angel was sending me a sign saying no you aren't done yet. And I think it was my brother and sister who passed away from a drug over dose.

Tom, i know you should receive message like this every day, but i wanted to let you know, you litteraly saved my life with this song. Few months ago depression was winning over me. Got divorced, all my family rejected me, told me I would never do anything good in life, my dad told me i was a garbage of society.... but it's seems to me they didnt know me at all, im always here trying to help and give love to all others humains around me. I was alone in me jeep with a loaded riffle ready to blow my head off, i coulndt see the lights behind thos heavy clouds over my heads. I was listening to youR song i dont care, and then just after angels came on. The lyrics got me right in my heart, I started to think of my 5 years old daughter and what would happen if i wouldn't be here for her, and I bust out crying like a baby, and i throw that gun away. This song litteraly save my life bro, thanks again for the amazing music you are doing you and nova. Now my daughter is listening to your music with me and I'm so thankfull i didnt comit suicide on that night, you should see how much of a good kid she is, she always asking me; deda place la moi la chanson houhou wawa ( dad put the song houhou wawa on...people so stupid) thats her favorite song.

I'm praying for your brother; not empty words. I was so far gone in addition anything to numb so much pain. My poor kids thought I loved the drugs more than them. In my active addition I 100% thought I was only hurting myself even as they sat by me while I slept making sure my heart beat and I kept breathing. The shame and guilt I feel for that will never go away. I never saw myself being sober but I am now almost 7 years, that guilt and shame help keep me sober. On the other hand none of my kids (I have 4) became addicts because they saw the very real unglamorous side of it. The majority of the people I partied with are sober now as well (I wish they all were) but when I say we were a huge gang of addicts noone saw anything but a coffin or prison in our futures I'm not exaggerating. So I'm telling you that to give you this hope the fact that so many of us found and have kept sobriety, there is hope for your brother. If 30+ addicts could find sobriety and thrive with jobs, family ect and become productive members of society instead of a drain on it. Hope is never lost. I personally have kept my personal circle very small since to help keep my sobriety, I keep an eye on them through FB and they are living great lives now. So never give up hope and I believe God put Tom and Nova on this path because they are bringing healing to more people than they will truly ever know. I believe I went through what I did for a reason too. I don't have a platform, following or talent. But my experience has put me in many positions to help others by being able to really emphasize and it kept my kids from that path, they're ( my kids)able to emphasize with people whose moms are addicts and show them proof that it can change also help them understand the addict doesn't love the drugs more than them so they don't follow the path of burying their pain and continuing the cycle. Sorry you didn't ask for my life story and I'm realizing at the end of this book I just wrote you, I probably should have made it a separate comment and still try to give you hope. I'm sorry 😞

Don't get me wrong her addiction was bad too, but my step dad helped me a lot. Me and my siblings used to talk about how we didn't want to be what out parents were.

I'm sorry to hear that. My grandmother passed away on Christmas morning a few years ago, I've honestly hated Christmas since then. I can't say that I know exactly how you feel, losing a parent is certainly different. But I do feel your pain, and from personal experience, alcohol and/or drugs will only make things worse. The best thing you can do is separate yourself from all substances for a while, get through the initial stages of mourning. It's too easy to get lost in the alcohol and the next thing you know weeks or months have passed by and your emotional and mental state is worse than when you started. Much love and well wishes during the holidays and into 2021. ❤

I lost my Mom yesterday. I was a shitty son. I tried to destroy myself just looking for a place to fit in and I never appreciated what I had growing up until very recently at 50 fucking years old. It was almost too late to tell her how much I appreciated her and at least I hurried up and said that to her a couple months ago. I'm not even sure who's expectations I was even trying to live up to. Hers or mine. RIP Mom. I'm sorry I didn't bring you more joy than trouble. At least now I'll remember the good parts and not so much the demons.

Let me tell you something about Moms - we know. One of my children doesn't appreciate what he has had growing up either but I know that he will one day and that is enough. I get joy from watching good decisions get made and knowing that the tools I have taught are being used even when they don't realise that is what they are doing. Also when bad decisions have been made and I see how they are being fixed. You say about fitting in - did you finally realise that you don't have to fit in, that when you find where you are meant to be then everything is just right, and molds itself around you? Your Mom would have found joy in watching you grow and learn and would have known that you would appreciate everything at some point, but it is good that she got the chance to hear you say it.

[@danlinho1885]

I'm a nobody but I've got something important to say to you. Maybe you'll take it to heart. Maybe you won't. Your purpose is to live a fulfilled life. Set a worthy goal to make your world a tiny bit better. Big and small. Do something good today that will make tomorrow better for you. You will see these tiny steps as accomplishments as you go from one day to the next. And you will fill with pride knowing you did a good thing and will continue to do so. If you can do that: one little thing each day to make tomorrow a wee bit better something as small as folding up your clothes and making an outfit or a day prepping meals for the week. You will live a fulfilled life that improves and gets better every day. When you become an angel and go see momma you will be able to tell her: look ma, I did good. And you and Momma will be proud. I wish I could hug you, but this is all I can offer your soul.

You’ve experienced things that shook you, changed you, broke you, built you and taught you to be stronger than you ever thought you had the ability to be. And you are who you are for all of it. So the next time someone judges you based on a small part of what they see and how they interpret that, remember who you are, remember how much you’ve overcome and smile and keep walking because you don’t have a single thing to prove to anyone else. You’ve already proved so much to yourself who muddled through storms that people didn’t see because of how well you carried yourself
