I used to think this was the saddest song ever when I was a kid and now it hits me in a whole different way as we prepare my 4 year old daughter for treatment at St Jude. 😢
+Taylor Wilhelm Hi Taylor...I am sooo proud of you. Many people would have given in, but you chose to not give up. My Mom immigrated from Norway with her mom, dad, & brother when she was very young. She lived thru the Great Depression, WW II, the loss of her son, youngest daughter, and first husband. But she always said to me "better days ahead". Taylor...don't ever give up...there are better days ahead. Take care, Rick V
+Taylor Wilhelm I wish u the best of luck with ur sickness cancer is just a bully but together we will fight it and and if god wills we will beat it !!!
I cried the first time I every heard this song on the radio and when my mom's mom died 3 years ago from cancer I was so scared Like of you ever lost someone to cancer
I lost 1 grandma to breast, 1 to brain, and both grandpas to lung. My dad also had prostate cancer when I was 2. I just hope and pray it doesn't come back
I will never forget the day the doctor came in to the room and said my husband had cancer. Stage 3. By the Grace of God and anointing, he’s been doing well since January, 2015 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Aww! I'm so sorry , it must be real hard , I have lost a lot of family due to cancer and it's really hard knowing that so many people in my family has gotten cancer ..
When my baby got diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma in March of 2022 I made her listen to this song. On a happy note she just finished her last chemo treatment hopefully on January 7,2023 #cancersucks
the young man in this video is the kind of man I want to be with my daughter. he is a true gentleman that cares about her feelings and shows her he is by her side.
My mom had leukemia and she was diagnosed when i was in 8th grade. She adopted me when i was a baby and I saw her through her sickness; the chemo, the throwing up, the losing hair. She was still my beautiful mother. She was in remission for a bit but my freshman year she was sick again. She had 2 transplants and was okay for a bit. But in December of 2012, she got worse. She passed away on December 27th, 2 days after Christmas. She was still beautiful to me and i miss her everyday
Just diagnosed with cancer on March 27 2017 To anyone that is going through this my heart goes out to you keep me in your prayers for you are in mine God bless you all
Tony Holbrook you are in my prayers buddy I've been going through it for years and they have stopped reading it because of how bad it got over a year ago they gave me 6 months to live but I'm still fighting no matter what just don't never give up
This song makes me tear up every time I hear. i was diagnosed with leukemia at age 3. I was given a week to live and through my family fighting with me I am here today. The strongest people in this world are those that have had this experience of having it or being close to someone who has had it. These people are inspirational in the fact that they never stop fighting.
One of my wife Best friend had every since she was 10 years old she made it and my wife told her you are strong and a fighter and that made her friend smile and her friend said I was not going to let my cancer win the battle and they both laughed when she said that
It was over a year ago when I shaved my boys hair. It was so scary not knowing what road we were going down. Please pray for us. We have scans coming back with something to worry. God will take care of us!
F$$k cancer! We buried my mother in law last month after 3 months of fighting🙏🏻🙏🏻. Cindy we love you and thank god for the 59 years you were on this earth. Love you abs Rest In Peace.
I lost my mama to pancreatic cancer after she had beaten breast cancer twice. She adopted me when I was 4. She was 67. I was younger at age 6 when she passed away. I do remember seeing her in the bed getting chemo. I would run around in her turbins to make her smile. I wish I could have had her longer. She was such a kind loving woman! 💜
Horace quency parnell, brain cancer took you from me and mom already 12 years ago. You were my dad without sharing my blood. I thank you and I hope to see you again one day. The only moment I hated with you was the day I had to shave your beautiful hair, that's the first time I knew you were capable of tears. God speed dad. 🙏
I have had it twice "Large T-Cell Non Hodgkins Lymphom" and then I has a stem cell transplant. I am coming up on 5 years remission August 5th, and the doctors want me to go and have a pet scan now bc they think I have cancer again.. Not looking forward to ANY OF IT, but at the end of the day I AM A FIGHTER, AND A SURVIVOR!!
I remember being maybe 6 and we had a girl in my dance class that had terminal brain cancer . She was so sweet and caring . They last time I saw her was our recital . And after that she passed away . She was a strong girl . And she was so beautiful . I hope she's flying high with my best friend and my dad .
I remember having to shave my sisters head when her hair started falling out. Never hurt so badly seeing her cry. She thought she wasn't beautiful anymore even though she was absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. God I miss her.
My daughter Jenny at age 33 was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma she died one year and 3 days from diagnosis. She left 3 children and her husband behind. The chemo and radiation killed her. She spent that last year sick as a dog from the treatments. She had the most beautyful hair. :-( I love you Jenny, Dad.
My sister and grandmother and my 2 cousins all fought cancer and beat it. They are all warriors. If you want to get away from everyday lives as a cancer patient or a sibling or child of someone who has or had cancer. You need to go to Camp-Mak-A-Dream in Gold Creek, Montana.
People fighting cancer are some of the most incredible people. I pray for those who have lost the battle and their families. To all still fighting keep up the good fight and know that there are many praying for you.
most touching song ever. hits so close to home personally. I have been fighting for 3 years now and its growing again. but i have an amazing girlfriend thats there for me like in the video. i will get this eventually! to everyone who is fighting with cancer or know people who are fighing or lost friends and family to it. be there for each other. you need your family, loved ones, and friends the most. and i wish for everyone to take care
wow stay strong, i hope u beat it, keep fighting till u cant and when u feel like u cant anymore just try alittle hard just never give up u r strong i dont know u but good luck
My prayers are with all of you who are fighting illness and those of you who have a loved one who is fighting..... it's a hard battle but not impossible! May God bless you guys and get you through! My family just recently faced a particularly painful battle with it..... my grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer in, I believe it was November, and she passed away the 6th of February. It was a very sudden loss of someone who's been a big part of my life for my whole life. I still can't believe it sometimes. Feels almost like I could turn back the clock, to simple summer happiness and trips to town and the long conversations in her and my grandpa's living room, where she encouraged me to chase my dreams and made me smile so effortlessly. The day I heard the news, I went outside, and I looked up at the sky, and I wondered if, in that moment, she was looking back down on me. I wondered if she missed me as much as I miss her. That day turned out so beautiful though. The sun tinted everything more orange than usual, it gave everything a happy glow. I felt like it was God telling me everything was going to be okay. I told her I loved her and missed her so much before she left. And I kissed her cheek. I was afraid she didn't remember my name, as the cancer had spread to her brain and messed with her memories, but she said "I love you too, Meg."..... It's the little things, man I tell you. She looked so beautiful even without her hair. I miss her smile, I miss her voice and her hugs. I miss our silliness. I never thought I'd lose them so soon. But I believe I'll see her again God willing. Sorry to rant, just needed to get some thoughts out of my head. I didn't tell this story to make anyone else lose hope, for our God is the God of miracles. Stay strong everyone..... there is a purpose for everything and you are not alone in your fight
United States Of America I saw that through my grandma, and many other people I support who has to go through it :( but I still have faith in you and for you that you can be completely healed and make it through the sick and those treatments x
My girlfriend died of cancer nearly three months ago, I'll never get over her. Rip to anyone who has died from cancer and keep fighting if you have cancer and are still alive. Keep strong.
This song really hits home for me. It came out the year I was diagnosed with cancer. I was 4 years old, and my family and I would always listen to it on the way to my treatment sessions. It still makes me tear up to this day.
I cried when I heard this almost 10 years ago and it’s almost September of 2019 and you still making me cry Rascal Flatts. It’s so sad but such a beautiful song😭 This hits to close to home for to many ppl. Stay strong everyone!
I'm just wondering how you heard it on the radio ..I did hear the latest from Luke Combs 20 times on the radio today. They went full rotation between that and Morgan Wallen every other song. This is a beautiful song and it should be on the radio everywhere!
@@jamesrenick7548 I'm not sure if it was on the radio or not, I do have satellite radio, and I usually only listen to the Garth station. He plays a wide variety of music, so maybe it was on there.
I will always love this song. I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in March of 22 and had to have my right kidney removed. It is terminal. I will have cancer treatment for the rest of my life. I'm 58. God is with me no matter what I'm going through and that makes it easier for me to handle. Prayers for everyone out there dealing with cancer. May God help you with this dreaded disease. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
@@jeremymedlock9626 no this is a true story there actually was a girl who found out she had cancer and this song was for her she passed away on March 23rd 2005
This is probably my favorite song. It always has been. I remember one time I was late for something just because my mom let me sit in the car and listen to it, since it never comes on the radio anymore. I love this song so much!
This song makes me cry doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it... I’m sorry to those who have lost their family to cancer. I just keep hoping one day there’s a cure💕
I understand. I lost my dad to cancer when I was 13 and I sang this to him a lot. It's hard to believe that the years have passed so quickly, but the memory of him will live in my heart forever! You're very strong to have lost your mom and still believe in the power of prayer! Don't lose sight of God!
I used to listen to this song on extreme repeat when I was a senior in hs back in 2006...dunno why...I love Gary's hand movements...and my favorite part is "She dreams she's dancing..."...this brings up how I felt last September when my doctor told me I had Turner's Syndrome and when I was told I was gonna have to have gallbladder surgery last November...I was scared to death about both.
I Love You Mom! Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I thank God that you are getting better! I'll never be ready to let you go. That scares me more than anything! I don't know if I could go on without you!
This has always been a very awesome song since it came out. Just 2 weeks ago I had to shave my 12 year old boys hair because if chemo, hardest thing a Dad can ever do. I now have an even closer feeling to this song! Noah we are on you team! We love you❤️
God bless you Noah and your family. I pray for you tonight. My sister had leukemia when she was 12 years old. Dear Justin, I pray your family may heal and prosper through difficult times. ❤
My co-workers 17 yr old son was just diagnosed and is undergoing treatments...all of his friends went out and shaved their heads as well...a testament to the kinds of friends he has....
I'm Cryin'. Such a sad song.. :'( What he did for Sarabeth, I would gladly do it for my friends or family, Also, it would not be mistake to take a girl with no hair to the prom.
I have cancer three times it sucks but u never give up nomatter what it is scary when they tell u they don't know if therapy will help 😢 I'm still Here and still fighting everyday
I'm an 8 year Leukemia survivor, and every year, I have the same fear that it's coming back.This song came out about the same time, and reminds me that I have support of my family, friends, and the love of my life. We're all in this together.
Great job last night standing up against cancer night. Everyone is going to be making a difference. My standing ovation go's to the people who were behind the scenes making the effort to make it possible. As well as all who choose to participate.
I don't like country music but they have the best lyrics out of any genre of songs. This is one of them for sure that I just fell in love with. Because when I hear it I'm not scared for that moment about anything.
I remember hugging my cousins Cecilia for the last time before she died of cancer. I miss her so much. It’s only been a few weeks since I last saw her but it feels like it’s been years. 😭😭💔 I miss you little squish
I cry every time I hear this song. It's just so powerful. I think about what cancer did to my brother. And then I think about how he survived Stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and now has a beautiful wife and family. He made it through.
Every time I listen to this song I'm reminded of my Uncle Bubba that died from leukemia cancer back in 2008. I miss him like crazy. @monique beltran I still can't believe she is gone :(
My mom died from cancer this song always reminded of her and how much my dad loved her he never left her side and did everything for her like boy in the song I hope when grow up and get married I can be half the man he was
My mom loved this song and we'd listen to it before school all the time. She lost her battle just over a year ago and it destroys me everytime I hear it now. My fiance and I are trying and it really hard to accept she wont get to see me get married or hold her grandchildren.
This song means a lot to me. It was one of my favourites, I knew word by word until 3 years ago when my mum was diagnosed with cancer. I wasn't able to listen to it anymore. It was too painful. And today is the day I have managed to listen to it once again. Not on a good note unfortunately, especially since now the title of the song hurts even more. But I guess we all have to believe in the power of prayer !
My grandmother died of lung cancer, and I think most people have lost someone they knew to cancer. This is a beautiful song, and to see the smiles even when the road looks like it is a dead end is truly inspiring. I think we should all take a step back and look at what we have, and we all have so much. My grandmother held on to the very end, and I look up to her so much for that. We should all take a page from their book.
I do relay for life and have been doing it since 2011. I started it when my grandfather got diagnosed with it. sadly he lost his battle to it in 2012. every time I wanna stop doing relay or finding a cure I think of him and it makes me fight even harder. I will keep fighting and donating . this song always makes me tear up
I remember when we had first heard this song in 2005. It was about a month after I was diagnosed with ALL, a form of leukemia. I lost all my hair and met my best friend Garrett when i was seven and he was four in the hospital. He had kidney cancer. I went into remission for a year and then relapsed at eight. I got to spend so much time with Garrett and then came 2010 when he passed at age seven when I was ten. Now that I'm four years cancer free even since last year I've been going bald to raise awareness for cancer around garrett's birthday.
Love you guys, my loving wife died 2 months after we were married from cancer. We dated 6 months before that and I knew, she was in remission and the doctor said she beat it. She loved you guys and wanted to see yall when yall came to Florida but for some reason we couldn't go. Long story short, shortly after she passed this song played on the radio, like it was written for us, silly I know but thank you guys anyways!!!! I listen to it every now and then.
My Mom Just Lost Her Battle To Leukemia. She Fought Hard For 17 Months. We All Miss Her so Much!! Especially her Grand Daughters. R.I.P. you Will Forever Be Loved And missed!! You Are No Longer In Pain!! Spread Those Beautiful Wings And Fly mommy!!! IN Memory Of Candy Biro 1960-2016 💔💔💔😢😢😢
This song is very special to me. I was diagnosed with a disease called scleroderma when I was 11 years old and was on chemo for a year and a half. While listening to this album, my sister and I were shocked to find this "secret song" on the last track. As we listened to the words, we could relate to Sarabeth's fears and struggles. Thanks, Rascal Flatts, for writing this song that so many people facing cancer and other serious diseases can relate to. And thank You, God, for 9 years of remission.
Christopher Weaver my mom cried to this it's so sad it's very sad actually and I can't believe she went to prom with no hair.My favorite part was"and she dreams she's dancing around and around without any cares and her very first love was holding her close" It's such a meaningful song I hope I don't have cancer when I grow up!😔😔😔😥😥
This song came on the radio on my birthday many years ago. My parents hadn't heard it but I had. It was the year I first started having health problems when I was 15, luckily not cancer, but this song always made me feel calm and hopeful. They listened with me and we all cried together.
This song chokes me up every time I hear it. My grandparents both died from cancer... My grandpa had cancer twice and beat it the first time and the second time it just killed him because he was still weak from the chemotherapy and radiation the first time. And my grandmother couldn't get chemo since he wouldn't have worked because when they found it it was too late. I miss them everyday.. R.I.P to everyone who battled cancer and didn't make it.
I lost my daughter to cancer and to see how sick those children are but never losing a smile on there faces knowing tommrow u could be walking the same hallway u been walking and see the room empty you just hang your head and cry knowing and knowing by the time you leave there will be another child another smile so yes this song holds a place in my heart to live it is to feel it
This song still absolutely destroys me. I don't even have any tires to cancer but the emotion of dealing with stuff like this is still a little raw after losing my dad a month or two ago. I think I needed a good cry... Didn't see that coming. That's rascal Flatts for such a beauty of a song.
I don't normally listen to "Country" on the radio, but I was driving home to Las Vegas from Northern California on night and the only station I could get was a Country Music station. This song came on the radio, and as I was listening, I had to pull over to the side of the road and cry my eyes out. My Daughter Heather had just been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and this just hit home. She is a SURVIVOR! (and I still cry when this song is heard, and I don't care who sees me either)
I would give my life for my wife. She is the best thing that ever happened to my life and if she ever gets sick I would trade places with her in a second. Thank you honey for all you do and for all you are. I am truly blessed.
A family relative of mine once got leukemia when they were about 2, this was a very hard time for our family. So just a reminder if you relate to this song, it will be ok, yes it will be a hard time but I have faith in you and your family that you can push through it get going you got this 🩷
I can't help but cry everytime I hear this song, but it's so beautiful I can never bring myself to turn it off. I have so many women to dedicate this song to. Beautiful, purely beautiful
So sorry you lost your daughter. I have lost 2 of my children. I feel your pain. Every time you miss her, sit back and close your eyes. Put your hand on your heart. Each beat you feel is her. It's proof she was here. Big hugs! I pray that you will find peace, comfort and the strength to make it through today and every day of the rest of your life.
im glad you are well :) i have been battling cancer for 3 years and its back. But this song reminds me of my relationship with my girlfriend its truly a touching song
Well the girl this is really about didn't make it. She died at a super young age. She went to my school in Berea. I'm pretty sure she'd love to sob to this song right now. It was just a scare and you're perfectly healthy now. Get over it.
OMG I had a cancer scare also. I had all of the leukemia symptoms, it was scary, so I can't imagine what it would be like to actually have the. Awful disease. God bless all who have it, your gonna kick cancers a$$
My husband's mother died of Leukemia and our Community Bible Study couples son has lymphoma please pray for him and our friend who has breast cancer they have there treatments this week pray that they will be STRONG with God's Strength
i lost my mom in 2008 2 cancer and she was a strong person and she did fight all that she could but loved this song and we never knew she had cancer till it was 2 late.
