I was rushed home from Afghanistan because my dad was dying. I got home and was rushed into my dad's bedside. I sat beside his bed and held his hand. He opened his eyes and smiled. He whispered he was waiting for me. We talked in between him slipping in and out of consciousness. After about 20 minutes he closed his eyes squeezed my hand and passed away. 5 days later I sang this song at his memorial service. As I returned back to Afghanistan I thought about all the things my dad taught me. I sure miss that man.
Such a touching story. I'm very impressed you had enough strength to keep it together to sing at his funeral. My sister wanted me to speak at our dad's funeral. There was no chance. I couldn't have got a single sentence out. It feels so empty to be here without my parents who were always there but I damn sure will. For my mom and dad. They wouldn't want me to give up.
At the time of Conway's dessy had 55 number one hits most in history he's the only artist to have a number one hit in five different decades I might be a little biased because my grandpa went to school with him and I met him when I was really young but in my opinion he's the goat of country music
REAL men are not scared to shed a tear to this song. The bond between a son and a father is one of the most powerful things in this universe. I did not have the best of fathers myself, but still, i have shed many of tears to this song becuase I am now a Father myself, and i PRAY everyday that when the good lord makes me leave my daughter that she will think of me the same way Mr. Twitty thought of his father. Again, I'm crying now
I lost my daddy on May 4,2023 an we played this song while everyone saying their goodbyes an closing of casket. This song fits my dad to a tee. I moved to Michigan from NY an when it didn't work out 6mnth later I called my dad told him I wanted to come home. He stopped everything he was doing an made 18hr trip to come get me with no questions asked
This so makes me think of my Daddy. No matter what, if I needed somewhere to go, he was there. I had a lot of issues with him, way into adulthood. I remember when I was in my 30's, I was having a reaction to medication. I was living alone and was scared, he came & picked me up & took me back to his house until I could get some medical help. I lost him last year, but I know he is home now & happy. Bless y'all!
My dad and I were best friends when I was young, we did everything together. I remember I was 5 or 6 at Christmas Eve and really sick with kidney infection, running a high fever and he and my mom brought me a Christmas present to open. It was a stretch arm strong , they had saved up money for that in the 70's we were poor but I didn't really know that. My dad passed away 8 yrs ago and never stop thinking of both my parents. Thanks for the memories
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded and I still get emotional when I listen to it. Another amazing reaction video as always. RIP to the man. 🙏
My dad is my bestfriend and I feel the sameway. I'll be lost without him and I'm not looking forward to that day. I always tell him that "if I'm half the man he is when I die I'll be proud of myself".
I lost my pops a few years ago and I miss him so much. He taught and prepared me for this life. I swear he knew everything. This song makes me tear up every time I hear it.
omg what a tear jerker. he was my moms favorite, even my kids grew up on him because of spending time with her. we have her records and the cassette she always had in her car. Conway is a amazing singer and songwriter. Thanks for a good cry
.. ok I'm crying! Today we found out that my husband of 30 years has an aggressive Cancer, he will be 57 this November. Please keep him, myself and our 2 beautiful girls in your prayers 🙏💙
Conway twitty always had such a beautiful song and meaning behind this song I lost my grandpa and this was his favorite song. I was crying just about throughout this whole video I love my grandpa and miss him ( lost him to gang violence) and my dad's a cop god bless
I just lost my daddy in April of this year, and this song hits home with me. Thank you for reacting to this one. The 2 of you do a great job with all your reactions.
Thank you for reacting to this song! My father passed away Jan. 4th this year on my parent's 41st Anniversary. My dad was my best friend and supporter, everything a great father should be! This was 1st my ringtone for my dad for years, then we played it at his funeral, and finally I had "That's my job" included in my memorial tattoo for him. I am so grateful that you have spread the message of this song to so many❤!!
My Dad was my hero. My best friend, my first boss, first football coach etc. He taught and raised all us boys to serve our country and to work hard everyday to take care of our families. And to treat people how we would want. I was 27 when I lost him. Still miss him everyday. This song was perfect!
He wrote this song. He was a very accomplished singer / songwriter. Love all his work. I was raised in Hendersonville , TN close to his entertainment park he named Twitty's City. Christmas was so special there. People came from all over to go to Twitty's City. He always had someone performing. His home was located there as well. It was very close to Johnny Cash's home. We were all broken hearted when he died. Then Twitty City closed and was sold to the Trinity Network and it sucked. We still miss him. He was a great entertainer and he did a lot for Country Music. He's right up there with Johnny Cash. When he first started his career it was in the 50s and he was billed as a Rock singer. Rock never really embraced him and his songs were closer to the country style. So he put out some country singles and Country totally embraced him. I could tell you stories but I've already written a book. I was so fortunate to live in Hendersonville. RIP Conway ❤❤
Yet, here you are. Good for you man. Loss of daddy is crushing. I lost mine at 15. They say you get over it. I don't think that's true. You get used to it, that's all. I've felt that hole for years and years. But I'm used to it . I'm sorry for your loss.
Though my "daddy" abandoned me and two sick and dying children when I was five, I had a flawed yet precious Mama who served as Both Mama and Daddy. Though I learned much from a flawed Mama and two dying children who never spoke a word nor walked before passing away at twelve and thirteen, I still miss not ever having a Daddy. I appreciate both you Dear People and enjoy your videos. This Conway song always makes me cry. Though I enjoy most any sort of music, in keeping with the country theme, have you every covered the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt", Vern Gosdons "Chiseled In Stone" or John Andersons "I Just Came Home To Count The Memories? I wish you and yours all that is good. Thank You For Bettering My Bad. Eddie Wood of Hendersonville NC.
One of my mom's favorite artist I didn't really discover his music until I was a lot older and more capable of appreciating it he has a lot of good songs no matter which one you pick next you won't go wrong thank you for the reactions stay safe guys God bless bye
I heard this song when my grandfather passed away on August 13, 2022 U.S. Navy Veteran USS Franklin D Roosevelt CVA-42 Seaman Marshall Lee Roland he was an awesome grandpa
Conway Twitty the best friend a song ever had. He is definitely a rabbit hole you should go down. I love you guys so much. My dad (donor) was never around but my best friends dad was my dad and this song hits deep
I was 20 when my dad died of a heart attack. He was two months shy of his 48th birthday. My dad was an icon of the community, and everyone loved him. I'm his age now. It's been 25-plus years since my dad died, but I still cry every time I hear this song. And, I'm not ashamed to admit that I cry. Daddy was a good man, and this song, all these years later, brings a tear to my eye. Time helps ease the pain, but you never, ever stop loving and missing them.
If T didn't cry, I certainly did. This was by accident by me. I clicked on this video today forgetting the subject mater of the song. I lost my father 37 years ago today. This one hit me hard, but still thank you both for all you two do.
This is an emotional song for me, just graduated high school and joined the Army... Wished my Dad, was there for me... Conway knocked it out of the park, with this song...
This is my second time listening to you. The fact that you show emotion made me sub. Country is an amazing journey. Im glad to see you embracing it for what it is. Love you two!
Everytime I hear this song I cry. My daddy was never around. But my Grandpa was. My grandpa raised me. He didn't have to but he did. And love him for it.
I'm 65 years old now. I never really got along with my dad; he was a former Marine and very strict, but I really never doubted his love for me and my siblings though it was rarely said. As he lay dying, I held his hand and leaned over his bed and kissed his cheek and told him that he had been a good dad and that I loved him. He managed a smile and whispered that he loved me too. I cried like a baby when he took his last breath. Please tell those in your life how much you love them each and every chance.
Both of you two's reaction while this song was playing and afterwards is priceless. It's like you two were absorbing the emotions the song emitted. This is one of those songs that rings so true, and believe me once a parent passes on, you cannot go back and say all of the things you missed. Many tear up on this song as I have myself, and the older you get, the more you get it.
this song talks about three phases as a man grows and that relationship they have with their father. Conway's way of showing how a father impacts you at all phases of your life shows what an amazing song writer he was at that time and how true his song reinstates the relationship we all hope to have as men or woman with our father. Conway killed it!! in his expression of being a father.
Always makes me cry. Reminds me of my grandfather, who always tried to take care of our little family. And he succeeded. He's been gone for 11 years, and we still miss him sorely.
Because this song speaks of fathers, I was reminded of it when I became a father myself 32 years ago. So, each night my baby daughters would awaken, needing a change and a bottle, I would sing this them each to help them back to sleep. Now, I sing it to my baby granddaughter. I'm glad you guys appreciated it.
My nephew use to play this for my great nephew . My nephew died 2 years ago and he was my great nephew that is 11 now world. Thank you for playing this one 💙💚
Conway Twitty…. The greatest vocalist ever bar none. My dad was a junior in high school when he died in 1993 my dad heard the news on the radio on a Saturday morning and he cried like a baby. Conway Twitty is gem to my neck of the woods.
If your Dad is still around, be thankful, go give him a hug and tell him you love him. One day you won't be able to. My Dad passed in 2008. I really miss him very deeply. I still have my Father in Heaven, he was my shoulder to cry on through that hard time in my life.
I use to sing this song to my boys when they were babies and I'd wake up in the middle of night for their feeding. Now their both successful young men that I'm so proud of.
Omg this made me cry I miss my dad. Conway was one of his favorite artists. I was a daddy's girl. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I lived 6 hours away so I wasn't able to visit as often as I wanted. Still feel guilty to this day. We are not guaranteed another day so make time for your loved ones.
My folks had nine children and both only had eighth grade educations. I have often wondered if other people saw what we saw in our parents. So much love and loyalty to family. We were not rich but Daddy always made sure we had what we needed. The older l get, the more l admire them.
