Hey brother, I understand your pain. I buried both of my parents by age 29, along with my daughter as a young Marine. You honor your Dad by being the man he raised you to be.
Sorry for your lost my brother!!yet you still have the courage to praise another!wish you all the love in the world brother and everyone who is reading this.
This song was written about a Father from Massachusetts whos son was KIA. Medal of Honor recipient Jared Monti. Paul drove Jareds truck every day until he himself passed last year.
After my dad passed away, I would take my dad's farm truck and drive down the dirt roads with the windows down listening to this song. My daddy was my best friend, my running buddy, my trip buddy. As an adult woman married with kids, I talked to my daddy several times a day. I will always be a daddy's girl.❤
Just discovered your channel. Real men cry. Let it flow bro. I'm crying with ya. This song gets me every time. Heard it 100 times. I tear up every damn time.
Rick, bro I feel ya on this. My dad was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force (C-130 mexhanic) and I remember going to visit him at his shop as a little kid in the 80’s. The smell of grease, coffee, and stale cigarette smoke always evokes a memory for me. Growing up, I’d be in the car port with him slinging wrenches with him as he taught me to work on cars. He died in ‘98 when I was 18, and I drove his truck until I joined the Army in 2000. He was my hero. He had his flaws, but he was mine. The pain never goes away, you just learn how to live with the pain day by day. I’m 43, and even now, listening to you talk about you dad reminds me of mine, and it brings tears to my eyes. Much love brother, from one son, to another. God bless you.
When my dad passed away in 2010 the one thing I couldn't let go of was his truck. This song hit home for me when it came out in 2012. I drove that truck until about 2017 when I was finally in a place that I was ok letting it go.
I'm a truck guy, but I still have my Dad's 1950 Rocket 88 sedan (the first car he bought new even though he couldn't afford it). We got it running again with all original parts, but I don't know if I can let it go. Peace, Love!!
My son's moved to Dublin Ireland and refuses to come back to the United States cause my oldest had to get 224 skin graphs praise God he finished his skin graphs last month we have been fighting with the VA since 2005 and still fighting
My dad passed away 2 years ago, and the pain is just as fresh now as it was then. Much love from me to you...while it doesn't go away, the grief does become more manageable with time.
I have 3 uncles who served in Vietnam and my grandfather on my mothers side served in Korea. I served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Much love to all of my fellow veterans and to you Rick. Keep doing what you're doing. Not enough people are helping veterans.
I'm new, and I can relate. My dad got his wings and flew to be with my mom in 2022. 😞. My father was drafted into the Army from Puerto Rico and served 30 years. Thank you for helping our veterans. Hugs and love to you and your family. I was wondering if you had a chance to look at a song by Reba Mcentire called " He Gets That From Me"
Man I lost my uncle few weeks ago he was like a brother and loved hunting fishing and camping and he loved his 4x4 4 wheel drive truck that he had since 1990 its 77 model stepside and me and my dad drove his truck for one last ride to his funeral alone with two of my other uncles brothers they brought thier 4x4 trucks all close to the same year model its on my Facebook and after the funeral we passed uncle truck to my cousin for his will
Lost my little brother. I did keep that ol truck of his for 17 years past his death. I did drive every back road in our little town. I tore up old fields and cried a river of tears in his seat. I miss him more with each year that passes. Hold the memories. That’s what’s irreplaceable!
I am a 55-year-old US Marine Vet who served tours overseas in Desert Storm, Panama, and Iraqi Freedom. I have personally lost my father ( a Sniper who served three tours in the Army in Vietnam) and my first-born son. I feel your pain, and I love you, brother! Thank you for all you do for us Vets!
You are getting all of the emotions out with your song choices as of late! Love them even if they make me cry like an 8 year old girl with two skinned knees!
I appreciate you my wife lost her mom a couple years ago and wound up outa work for two years bc she couldn't and I spent 9 years in the army tears are the most healthy manly thing ever
This song gets my feels every time. Thank you for reacting to it. I feel you and I’m very sorry for your loss. Your dad made a great impression upon you. Wish I’d known him. We share the same “changing oil in the driveway” stories, son. Those were awesome moments in time that I will never forget. You are in our prayers. God IS GREAT! Carry on. jp
I served 24 yrs in the Army, and I really appreciate you saying that. I've lost so many brothers and sisters, and it seems that the American people have forgotten about them.
@JD-bd5uu for the most part, you are correct. But it seems like society has turned a blind eye to all that we have to deal with, whether it be mentally or physically.
Never let anybody tell you how to grieve. You talk about him every day…if that’s what it takes to heal from it. you keep making these videos if that’s what it takes. and one day man…. You’re gonna talk about him with a smile, I promise. Keep pushing, keep hustling, and keep making these videos, because we are all trying to heal from something. your videos help me tremendously. I come to this channel to heal wounds that you cannot see. Keep going big dawg!
😢💛💜🙏I needed this message! I tell you I really did ! I Love you. I really appreciate you! I’m wishing blessings, love and more peaceful happy times to you and your family 💜💛
I have massive Respect and admiration for you right now. So glad you are taking the emotion and pain you are in and putting it into something productive and beneficial. If I had just lost my Father I wouldn't be able to do what you are doing. I'm so grateful to still have my Dad, and similar to you, he is my best friend. Next week we have a 3 day fishing trip scheduled and I am excited and looking forward to it. Some of my favorite memories with my dad have been up in the mountains hunting and fishing. Some of my earliest memories are of going to the mountains to fish with my Dad at 3 years old. As we both get older I'm very aware and cognizant not to take these trips for granted. I don't want to think about it, but with each trip, I realize that this could be the last time we get to do this. it makes me live in the moment doing everything I can to make the most of the time we have. back in February of 2022 I got a call from my Dad from the back of an ambulance telling me to go get Mom and bring her to the Emergency Room, He had just rolled his car on his way into work. I didn't know the extent of his injuries, but that was one of the most scarred I've ever been in my life. thankfully he ended up being OK. But it made the fact that I could, and someday likely will, lose him very real to me for the first time in my life. I'm so glad he is still here and in reasonably good health. I'm so, so sorry for your loss, and the pain that you have been, and will continue to go though as you adjust to life without having your Dad around to talk with.
Man... my dad is 71 and we are restoring his truck. Almost done. Such a beautiful thing to do with him. It is a 1953 ford f100. Was his dad's truck. He bought it new just before my dad was born. We are going back to original. His dad was Air Force, dad was Navy. He was gone most of my childhood out to sea. I spend every minute I can. My 16yo daughter will be here all week. We will finish it with her. She is going into Air Force after school. Want to spend every day making memories. She gets truck when I go. She has had a part in restoration all the way. I gave her my car for her 16th birthday. She gets honor of first drive. Will be an amazing day. ❤
i lost my dad when i was serving overseas but i was lucky enough to tell him i loved him and a kiss on the forehead before he passed. Be easy bro the time together wont outlast our time apart.
I love this song it means so much to me. I played this song on repeat and full volume in my dads pick up truck the day after he died and I just cried my eyes out 😭🥺
I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy. But it is a journey through grief that we all must take. My mom, my dad, my husband, and waaay too many close friends, they're all gone now. Each loss was another dagger in the heart. But I don't think anything in life makes you grow more as a human than living through grief. I shared your tears on this Saturday night. A few songs that could make you cry, but they are so beautiful they'll make you feel better, too. 🌹Andy Griggs "If Heaven" 🌹Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton "When I Get to Where I'm Going" 🌹Brooks & Dunn "I Believe" I am so glad you came up on my RU-vid feed, Rick. 🌹 {{hugs}}
You are an amazing young man. Stay the way you are. Honey just because you cry don't take these peoples bad remarks to heart you were raised right and have a heart of gold. God Bless You Always.
My condolences brotha. I lost my dad in ‘97 and I can tell ya it hurts just as much now as it did then. Only thing we can do is stay strong and keep it moving. Much love to anyone out there that lost a parent 🫶
This has to be the sweetest reaction to anything ever, keep strong brother. We all love you bc at the end of the day, we rely on those who remain to keep us going
Right. I drive your truck. I have on like this. It come down from my grandpa and to my day and me. God bless you. So sorry for your loss. I can feel your pain. Honest.
I love you Rick ❤❤❤ you are such an inspiration and I love your videos. Your emotion is real life. And amen “time down here is temporary”. Your Dad is watching over you in heaven and is proud of the man you are
Really appreciate you sharing your emotion and grief with us. We love you brother. Let it out and love your dad. It's because you had such great memories with him that you miss him so much.
Just found your channel and I subscribed right away it takes a real man to cry and show emotions. I have literally watched about 10 of your videos now and I’m right there with vibing and cry with ya! Just remember your daddy will always be with u brother ! Keep your head up and keep doin what your doin
❤❤sending all my love for you. All the way from uk.🎉❤❤your dad will be with you always..I'm proud as a mother to be watching you right now.talking about your dad.
I would love to see your reaction to a song called the dashboard. It's a beautiful song,and makes me think about all our veterans, and the sacrifice they make for us every single day. God Bless You!
since this song came out i come back to it ever so often my dad pass in 2011 and when this song came out it was the first song in english that made me deal with my emotions for my dad now when i come back to it i always have a tear and a laugh but when i seen your reaction to this song it really took me back to the first few months and man i feel for you thank you for this video and keep your head up you are not alone
Condolences for you in your time of loss. On a side note, as a guy who’s pushing to the end of 20years of service in the Army, I salute YOU 🫡 for the support. Stumbled upon you on accident after watching this and saw your message about the troops. Instant subscribe from me. 💪🏼
This song makes me think of my brother. We got hit with two tragedies in 2021. We lost my bonus mom of 22 years on May 4th to cancer then 16 days later may 20th my brother was killed in a motorcycle accident. It was probably one of the hardest times in my life, I love this song and we still have his truck today. I pray for you friend.
I feel your pain, man. I’m 60 years old, and my mom passed away in 2003 (I was 40), and I still think of her every day. Does the pain go away? No. Does it get easier? Some. But you’ve got to remember that your loved one wouldn’t want you to quit living just because they’re gone. I know for a fact that she would be happy that I still think about her, but she’d also smack me up beside the head if I didn’t go on and live my life!
This was and is the number one song I gave my dad. He wasn't in the military, but we drove every day in his truck, we would paint it and worked on it together.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sending so much love to you hun. My heart goes out to you and your family I know it’s hard, you’re not alone, love you hun. I cried with you the whole way through this song. Wish I could give you a hug. Thank you for sharing stories about you spending time with your dad. That means a lot. I was already subscribed, but I have been away. We lost my stepmom in the beginning of may. So I hadn’t heard the news about your dad. I’m truly sorry to hear the news and I’m keeping you in my thoughts, if it’s okay I’d like to light a candle for your dad, and for you and your family. 💛
My prayers are with you and all your family. This song reminds me of the good times of my grandfather and his old 67 Chevy truck. If you need me I’m here for ya.
Much respect for your pain young man,I know grief and it's tough, God will see you through, how strong we love is how strong we grieve, bless God bless you ❤️
Brother i feel ya, lost my dad a gew years ago , then lost my mother the year after but the real smack was losing my brother a few days before Christmas, my older brother, my hero. Seeing you like this is hitting hard my man

The damage was done and how it happened y'all couldn't have not laughed. That's a wonderful memory. When your grief isn't so electrifying an u can really breath take the time to listen and feel for your father. He's with you and your mom now he's just across the veil. Talk to him like u would if he was right by your side. Because he's there with y'all. ❤❤❤❤❤
My best friend lost his life as a merian in 2017 and what great person is was. Lucas was his name .and still today I have his jeep .this song is awesome.
This made me cry, but also made me smile, because why was dad always yelling about how we held the flashlight.😂😭❤️ Became a real good flashlight holder for a while. Lol. ❤️ But prayers for you, man. Always.
Im so sorry to hear about your dad. Watching you in this reaction video broke my heart. I really wanted to hug you and hold you. Just let you cry as long as you needed to. Bless you and you are in my prayers. ❤
Lost mine at 8 , alone with him , had to get neighbor to call ambulance. Still miss him evert day, 60years now, held his hand util they took him. Be thankful for all the days you had together. I have 18 grandchildren he never met, see you soon daddy. 😊
Thank you for you r service to our vets. God Bless you. Im so sorry for your loss of your Dad. I lost my husband of 46years married to Brain cancer. Our children, but especially our son really struggling with his passing. This song reminds me that I gave our son His Dads truck.
I came back from South Dakota 4 months ago because my dad called me and said it's mine now. Drove back to Texas in it and It replaced the Corvette in the garage. '78 Chevy with only 46k original miles. It was the first vehicle my pops bought when him and my mom moved from there to here. They tease me saying my brother was conceived in the seat I was in. I will always keep my daddy's truck. The memories and that truck can never be replaced.
I never really knew my dad. A couple months ago he died and the state needed my permission to sallow for services. I sent imagine the pain you’ve felt, and I’m glad you allow us to help
My son is in the Navy and he just got deployed until April or May. And he can't tell us where he is at😢. Im so proud of him and proud of all the men and women serving our Great country and I have so much respect for our veterans! Thank you all who have served and are serving, where we can have our freedom and live in the greatest country. Rick, I'm so sorry for your loss. We are here for you and im so glad that you are letting us walk this journey with you! We love you! And to anyone, going through anything you are not alone we are here for you! Please be kind and love one another❤
My grandpa was a navy veteran he fought in vitnam war he passed away 8 years ago almost 9 years since he passed. I mjss you grandpa. 5his christmas wont be the same without him. 😢
You are setting an amazing example for the world to see. I hope more people listen to you words and take them to heart and put them to practise. I do love the music that you have been playing but they are all very emotional and tear jerkers. Can I suggest something a little more up lifting, John Farnham an Aussie legend. Always watch live performances and if possible, the ones with the Melbourne symphony orchestra and I would suggest these songs. -Your the voice - see the banners fall - all our sons and daughters - in days to come - help - it's a long way to the top - playing to win - I can do anything All these songs are epic and should touch your soul. Thankyou for talking about your dad, you have so many marvelous memories and some traumatic ones. You are an extremely strong person, you are proof of good people do exist ❤
Rick your my type of guy a huge heart just like mine. The country lifestyle will keep you grounded and I’m glad you hold these values in your heart. Get out to a good deer camp and see what esprit de corps are about. Time of your life!!
