Never forget that anyone can be a father, but it takes a MAN to be a dad.

[@user-gv6sb8jb5u]

You damn right my good man!

[@whiskeywill88]

truer words never spoken.

My daughter was 6 mos old when I married my husband, 47 years ago. He adopted her and we had 2 daughters together. He never treated her any different than the other 2. By the time she married she had met and gotten to know her biological father. He wanted to walk her down the aisle, she told him "No, I want my real Dad to give me away!" Her real Dad walked her down the aisle and danced the father daughter dance...and he was sooo proud of her! He (bio dad) sat in the pew behind me and cried because knew he had turned his back on me and our child when we needed him the most...but he did me a favor. I would've never known true "I will walk thru fire with you" love if he hadn't!!! I still thank GOD for this man beside me everyday of my life...

There was a contest based on this song back in 2000 to win a trip to see Brad Paisley. My niece (about 15 years old at the time) in Arkansas wrote about how her stepfather (my brother) took care of her and her sister and the love he gave time. She won. The essay was published in the local newspaper. She and my brother got an all expense paid trip with front roll seats and back stage passes to see Brad Paisley. They both had a blast and came home with lots of photos, autographs and with a quilt signed by the performers.

Great song and reaction. Also a big shout out to the women who step in and play a dual role of Mom and Dad while sometimes taking in other children and raising them as their own.

[@truckerjim425]

My uncle and aunt adopted me when I was very young. He showed me how to be treated by a man. Years later, my husband, god rest his soul, stepped up and was a dad to my 5 kids.

[@birdyseeds]

[@rhondaserges5136]

This one always touches me ...

[@thegamingironman]

I have loved your content for a bit and shocked im just now realizing im not subscribed. This just came up under my suggested videos and my first reaction was "oh, i loved this song growing up" (i was a huge country fan for Many years in the early 2000's in high school.) Watching this reaction made me have a feeling i had never felt listening to this song and at midnight got me to text my dad (i was adopted when i was 2 months old by the people i now call mom and dad) telling him what i always wanted which is to be half the man he didnt have to be. im 38 now and this song finally hits home. Thank you.

Don’t forget Jesus had His Heavenly Father as we all do but also had a stepfather as well

[@jellett9461]

I was so lucky to find my husband when my son was 5. He was there to help raise him and made the most amazing man, husband and father, just like his was and still is. So blessed

[@tarheelforlife4008]

Truly enjoy ya’ll reactions always yall one of the few that listen to every word

[@user-yp3nf6un3e]

I have always loved this song. Thank you for reacting to this one

[@mzluna313]

DNA makes a father. Love makes a dad! My biological father was in and out of my life for years. Usually he'd come around when he had a new trick he was trying to impress by acting like he was dad of the year. But, the man who raised me and showed me love, continued to stick around regardless of how I treated him. And I treated him horribly and constantly disrespected him. Standing in the church on my wedding day, that he paid for, waiting for our queue, he told me how beautiful I looked and that he was proud of me, kissed my forehead and pulled my veil down. He held out his arm and asked if I was ready. All I could say was, "Thank you for everything!" His reply was, "You don't have to thank me. That's just what daddies do!" I lost him in 2007 and my husband in 2022!

[@teefree7611]

Love this song

[@consuelor3453]

You both are just simply BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤❤❤

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

That chorus never fails to give me chills.

[@MommaBird52]

Big-hearted Shawn reminds me of my Dad who used to cry on touching commercials😉 Love y'all's reactions! Speaking of touching, could you react to James Blunt -- The Girl That Never Was?

[@lisawilham-pepper]

This song even now chokes me up all these years after it was released. It came out after my daddy passed away but that was him. My children has dedicated to my husband as he stepped in and raised my children.

[@patsaylor8973]

Mel and Shawn I just love you guys. You are the best! Could we hear some reaction to Chris Ledoux. Real deal, real cowboy, great singer, sing writer, the GOAT. He was loved by Garth Brooks, he even sang with him.

[@GC-gj9dp]

Country music comes from the heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

[@kay5505]

I needed that reminder.. love songs that make us think and makes us want to do better..

[@ladygator19831]

I was blessed to have a wonderful man come into my life when I was 7-1/2-years-old. I’m convinced he chose me!!!

[@georgewilson8062]

I love yall

[@bulldaisymom]

my daughters DAD is one of those great people.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Hope so. ❤

[@davidchapman2213]

You hit a goldmine with Brad Paisley. Get ready to have your heart explode with his amazing music and lyrics. One of the best guitarists in music industry, much less country music itself. She’s Everything; When I Get Where I’m Going; The World; Whiskey Lullaby; I’m Gonna Miss Her; Me Neither

[@davidhill7234]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@67swisslisa]

I love this song, just not when I'm driving! ❤

[@whiskybooze]

I would die for my mom and sisters if needed.

[@MelissaDalehite-ey4bu]

Isn't this a truth. How could you not if you are a decent human being?😊😊😊😊😊

[@channonskinner50]

As a once single mom this song hits home so hard.

[@boomeister2]

Love this! Another good song is Reba McEntire's "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" 🥲 (preferably the studio version so you can hear the lyrics)

[@bkeating1980]

Love this song , hits home cause of my nephew, my baby brother started dating my sister-in -law when he was under 2 yrs old, had their dating arguments he dodn't know if they'd stay together or not..( he wanted big brother's advice...told him ( I don't care about her and you ..but by damn don't screw this little guy up,either fully committed or get the hell out now before he remembers ya..so glad he stuck with ot.. my nephew is 14 now and an awesome young man with 2 siblings

[@cyndyhalter1983]

You need to listen to" color him father" late 60 or early 70

[@art3mis290]

Good one! We all got the feels from this one, thank you both ya started my weekend off just right! Much love!

[@CherylTracy-w7l]

The saying goes . Anyone can be a dad . It's a Father who guide's though life. Who show's you what to look for in a husband. And the mother show's you what to look for in a wife.

[@cyu5251]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaykaysf84]

Made me cry because my beautiful niece is getting a divorce and she has twin boys age 5 and another one that’s 3. I pray she finds someone who will love all of them like they deserve!

[@ccormx]

My son was 1 when I married his father. A better decision, I have never made.

[@gaylonbellew832]

I met my Step Dad when I was 6, I got to call him Daddy at age 7. He is my Daddy to this day. The other dude that birthed me is my Father. I love him for giving me life, BUT he ain't my Daddy.

[@ayyedee5349]

Made his ma sound like a 304 when he had to interview differ men. Sheesh.
