Craig Morgan The Father My Son and The Holy Ghost 30 Years Married Couple Reacts 

It was Ricky Skaggs who was standing off stage here afterwards who convinced him he had to keep singing the song to help others in their grief. Craig had planned that this would be the only performance of the song ever. Blake Shelton actually worked on social media to get the song airplay for his friend after hearing it. Craig says that he doesn't always perform the song now in every venue where he plays because it still takes him a lot of emotional energy to get through it without crying.

I lost my son when he was 6 hours old. That kind of pain is indescribable. He would have been 16 now and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t forget. He is in heaven with his grandma and his sister. 😢

He is Not Gone!! Amen... God Bless Everyone who has lost their kid

Lost my son on April 6th, 2019, in a motorcycle accident. Would have been 34 in July. Was single and had a young daughter. He and i both worked on a towboat. I got off the boat for the first time after his passing and was beginning to drive home when this song came on the radio as i started the car. I had never heard it till then and it hit me like a rock. I cried for the four hour ride home. I too fell Craig's pain and would like to thank him for sharing this song. I still get a tear in eye each time i hear it but it gives me hope also. Love you son.

I read somewhere that when they pulled Jerry from the water his hands were clasped as if in prayer and his eyes were looking up at the sky…I try to pray for them a few times a week that God will continue to grant them grace and strength for the journey. Thanks for covering this one.❤

He had a message that needed to be told

Fun Fact. Craig morgan was a soldier himself. and I just love yalls reactions!! Keep up the good work brother.

What a Powerful, Emotional, Spiritual Song! God Bless Craig and His Family!

I lost my son in war. Working for our country. I got out of the army 1 day before he died in the same war areas. He is my hero. Not me his was.

No matter how many times I have watched this song it is so tough to see!

Don’t know if you guys have already done it but “Fire Away” the official video by Chris Stapleton is a powerful one.

He never wanted to release this song. He wrote the song for himself. It was Blake Shelton

Another song along the same theme is 21 years by TobyMac. Heart wrenching.

My daughter was killed in a car accident 5 years ago. 10 months after the passing of my wife. I am 62 and cried like a child hearing this song. I get it all too well.

Craig Morgan is a real true Man. God bless him.

This song is personal for me. My son passed away when he was 7 months old. March 31st he would have been 29 years old. I'm in absolute tears!!

We lost 2 of my brothers 2yrs apart, and they were both only 24 yrs old. One was a marine and died in a terrorist attack. The other was staying in a camper visiting friends. The propane heater blew up. My parents were never the same. It’s almost like their spirits were gone, and robots stayed behind. It destroyed our family. Mr Morgan and my parents suffered a hell that I hope I never experience.

I read somewhere that when he walked off stage he said he’d never sing that again. He’s done it since then but I imagine that was rough.

Powerful Song and Reaction........ Craig is a Great Story-teller through song..... He has some other Powerful songs (Not sure if you have checked them out....) "Almost Home," "This Ain't Nothing," and some Fun/Entertaining songs - "Bonfire," "Redneck Yacht Club," "International Harvester," "Raise the Bar," "More Trucks than Cars"

Wow I feel your pain and the hope that God and his Son gives up everyday! AMEN

It was BLAKE SHELTON that convinced him to perform it so that others could help the healing.

We had this played at my sons funeral just 3 months after he sang it on the Grand Ole Opry …. I never thought this song would mean so much to me .

You are absolutely right, a parent is not supposed to outlive their child. I have outlived 2 of my son's. My youngest we played See You Again by Carrie Underwood and this one was played at my oldest son's funeral.

Y'all GOTTA see the video where Dwight Yokam sings at Buck Owens' funeral. Yeah, I can't believe these singers can gather up the strength to sing these songs. I know Vince Gil had an extremely hard time doing it.

I know it took absolutely everything he had to get through it. I cannot begin to imagine his actual pain and devastating heartbreak. I pray for anyone that has lost a child. Life is not suppose to be out of order where you bury your children.

New sub. We are not equipped to out live our children!💔Loved your reaction and looking forward to your new posts and going to spend the next few hours looking at your previous posts! Love from Texas🤠

Craig struggled to get through the song. It's hard to watch his pain. but the song is beautiful. After losing 3 close family members between April 2021 and January 2022 ... then my dad in January 2023, it just hits a little different.

Amazing song! Great job keeping it together!

Never lost a child in the sense of him/her being here but I lost a son while my wife was 16 weeks pregnant (knew it was a son and was confirmed later). That hurt to the core and I can only imagine what losing a child that you have had the ability to spend time with, even in the slightest. Noah died of a true knot in his cord, truly I believe because he was so active so early, both my wife and I could feel him moving at around 10 weeks gestation. It was the only OB appointment that I missed (for him or my daughter), because our daughter who was 2 1/2 at the time, was sick. To compound things, my uncle who was very supportive after our loss, died less than a week later on the operating table. It is crazy to think that it is coming up on 12 years since this happened, and he would be turning 12 later this year. After suffering another early miscariage my wife had our rainbow baby, William in Feburary of 2013. He is now 10 years old. I think feeling Noah move, knowing he was a boy, even not knowing truly but later getting the confirmation, made that hurt more than the second loss (we call him/her "baby Z" at like 6 weeks gestation). Another crazy thing to think is that Noah would have been named William, because it was a name we had picked out for a boy in horor of both of my grandfathers (one whom I never had the chance to meet, and another that had passed but was one of the people, that even to this day, I held dearest to my heart). My wife and I picked Noah out and I randomly found Jackson for his middle name. Noah Jackson, I still love you to this day, and one day I will see you. Also a fun fact for William, he has a second middle name "George" who was my uncle that passed away so close to Noah's passing.

His son was Jerry.

5 Times August has lots of great VIDEOS too

This is a hard song to listen to. As you said, parents shouldn't lose their children. I lost my daughter at two months old of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) many years ago. She was 'perfect', but she was gone. You never get over it. You just learn to live with it. I feel extremely lucky that we have a son who was two years old when our daughter died. We're very close. I'm new to your channel and love your 'title'. You two have a good start now. :0) My husband and I will celebrate 54 years in June. thanks, and I just subscribed.

Morgan was in the military, I believe 8 years special forces medic based on what I have seen on other pages. Definitely check out other songs by him, this one is so highly emotional but his regular music there’s quite an array

Check out 21 Years by Tobymac

Bet you can't make it through. MONSTERS by James Blunt

He re enlisted in the military
