Years ago, probably 12 or 13, I was a chauffeur and remember picking Cactus up in a stretch Hummer at his house in Franklin, TN. We went to pick up Wynonna in Leiper's Ford and took her to a Christmas party in Nashville I still remember to this day, I hadn't driven her in a year, and she recognized me and hugged me. Cactus was such a gentleman. These people are the real deal. I'm just now seeing this, and it's bringing back so many memories.
I absolutely ADORE this talented, strong couple. So humble, giving God the Glory. There is nothing they can't do together"! We love you Cactus and Wy!!
I love Wynonna, she is a voice for women's strength and hope, not only in this with her beloved husband but in her walk in this life! I have watched all the docuseries with her and her mother...she is truly more then a survivor, she is truly a blessing. I wish her and her family long life and happiness, God has sent us glory and grace to hear her voice. I am 65 years old and I can certainly identify with her life and struggles. God bless her today and always.
What a beautiful, uplifting and amazing story. I have always loved Wynona for the music she and her Mom gave us. But seeing her love for this man and her willingness to be there for him through all of the trauma made me see her in a different way. She is beautiful inside and out.
What an inspirational story of love. As bad as the injuries were, I find your commitment to Cactus just as big of a story here. God bless you Wynonna and Cactus.
We just saw Wynonna and Cactus in concert last night, and all I can say is WOW!! To overcome an injury like that, and play like he did, it's a miracle!! Amazing story!
I just ran across this video. What an incredible story of sheer determination on Cactus’s part, an inspirational love story, and a story of faith. God bless!
Me too! What a great couple! They seem like they are soulmates. You can see Wynonna has a certain peacefulness to her when she is with her husband. Even though they’ve been through hell and back, I am so happy that they found each other!
This is so touching. It’s good to see Wynonna has finally found that one true love she has been seeking all her life. They seem perfect for each other. May god bless them with many more great years ahead.
Wynonna Judd and the Big Noise played a show this week, here in Carmel, CA. I was an old Judds fan and loved Wy's first solo album, but had gone in a different direction and not kept myself current with her. I just happened on the concert because I am an Uber driver and I picked up a passenger who was going home early from the show and she gave me her ticket and I shot back and saw the last half hour of the show. Sat in row 6 center. I knew nothing about her relationship with Cactus and wasn't quite sure when she introduced him if I was hearing right when she called him "Cactus"..... anyway, she also told the whole story of the crash and his road to recovery. I was amazed at what an energetic and talented drummer he was. He is no longer using a walker. You would never know he had any sort of limitations at all..... Now I am scouring RU-vid and catching up with what has happened with Wynonna the past 10-15 years...... Pretty amazing!
Such strength and perseverance in faith and love. You both are so inspiring. Hold on to Cactus in this time of pain and loss and know so many are praying for you in this tragic difficult time. Rest in love Naomi!! 🙏💔💐💕
I didn't shed a tear until Cactus came onstage walking with his walker. This is an amazing story. One of courage and faith. I can't believe it was only 3 1/2 months. God does have a plan. Love you Wy and Cactus ! ✌🏻❤
Cactus is SO right when he said "There are no coincidences." The one thing that is so hard for us to believe, is that we are NOT the master of our own destiny. We are NOT the "Captain" of our ship called Life. EVERYTHING, I MEAN EVERYTHING was scripted by our Heavenly Father long before the worlds were; otherwise,we would NEVER put ourselves WILLINGLY through the fire!! Only the hottest flames can soften the HARDEST metal for the blacksmith to form the finest SWORD. Such a great analogy for His Chosen Few who are now being processed. - Elle - ❤️
Ok......I can't stop crying now...probably like anyone watching this. Wow!! You two are SO inspirational and filled with God's Love and Spirit I am overwhelmed. For some reason (thanks God) I've been watching the life of the Judds lately. My sister and I would always sing your songs together.....trying to sound like you all....haha...Actually my sister was an incredible singer and loved people and ententertaining. Talk about a sense of humor. Out of all of my 9 siblings, her and I were like twins. So close. I recently retired military and was so looking forward to being able to hang out with my sister and her family and visiting when I wanted. She and her family were in Arkansas and I moved back to Colorado where I grew up. I was stationed mostly at the Pentagon. I even was the photographer one time when you entertained us at the Pentagon Wynonna.... THANK YOU!! What a loving heart you have...:-) My sister recently passed away from a violent horrible battle with cancer. After her funeral we played all of your songs that were so a part of us and our family. Now to see what you, Cactus, went through and how strong you guys are together....Oh my goodness......I can't stop crying......THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR STRENGTH, COURAGE AND SPIRIT FILLED AND HAPPY "ALTITUDE" AS OUR DAD CALLED IT. I believe I can now get through my sisters' death with more meaning. She would love your strength and trust in God's plan and I have to be strong in that. THANK YOU WYNONNA, CACTUS AND MOSTLY GOD IN JESUS' NAME.....AMEN!!!! < Stay blessed!
I live in Deadwood.... What a terrible tragedy 😢 Cactus praise the Lord the angels (Wynonna, Bobby) were with you that day......I am so happy you are still here with us... love 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Winona and Cactus, God was on your side that fateful day. I am a nurse , now 80 years old. Winona your care and nursing capability to help your husband paid rich rewards. May god grant yoga long and happy life. It is a day since your dear mum Naomi passed away. My heart is with you all.
This story is so powerful and God praising. I always loved Wy, but Catus and his accident has glorified God. Thank you for sharing your personal pain with all of us. I love you both.
What a beautiful couple. Clearly they are soul mates. Sean you and all the others there saved Wy's true love. That has to feel so good. Cactus you are one tough SOB Sugah! Wy love your music. May God continue to bless you both.
God bless you Wynonna & Cactus! Stay strong , thank God for such a good woman falling in love with such a good man! This is true love thru thick & thin. Keep on singing Wy.!
This story resonates with me soo deeply. I also was in a car accident in 2018..a week after our wedding. The other driver ran the stop sign and I t-boned his truck. As a result, I shattered my right heel and ankle. Needles to say...I've had 4 surgeries total over the last 4 years. Possibly a 5th. But the commitment that Wynonna has to Catcus, reminded me of how my husband was. God bless you both
Amazing, loving, and triumphant documentary! Kleenex a must. God put Wy and Cactus together for all the right reasons.....they both are blessed to be together, and I wish them a long, loving, Godly marriage. Have always loved Wy, but Cactus is an amazing man. God doesn’t do anything coincidentally! God bless you both always! ❤️🙏
Powerful! My husband has experienced a life altering injury. He is determined to walk again and works hard at his therapy. His attitude is amazing! Thanks for sharing your story. God Bless you both!
Prayers that your husband keeps his courage , works hard, and makes it all the way back! My husband is getting ready to have a second hip replacement. He cried the first time he walked without the walker. Not as bad as losing a leg, but it's hard doing the therapy and pushing through the pain to get back.
+Sean Lien Wow you're amazing!!!! I've been in a really bad car accident and it's people like YOU, Sean who make the scared and injured feel like there is some control and hope on one of the worst days of our lives. Thank you for going into a field that only some are blessed with a gift to really do justice. Thank you for saving Cactus and probably many, many others. My hat's off to you!
Wow!! Very powerful video on so many levels. Thank you Sean for being there in Cactus's time of need. I'm a huge fan of Wy and Cactus and especially how they live out their lives together with their faith. Cactus is right...there are NO Coincidences...you were meant to be there Sean and safe his life. Thank you for your service!
Dear Sean i felt as I saw this that not only were you an angel for Cactus and Wy at this moment but I also felt your ancestors being honored through you.Beautiful wisdom displayed:) What a gift!
I am blessed by you praying in the mighty name of Jesus. Also the humbleness you both share. God has plans for both of you. Always pray. God bless you both, your family and friends.
I never knew this happened! My God 💙what a story. Beautiful couple. (My dad lost his leg at 69: memories.) Cactus, what Wynonna said about your humor: my dad wanted to go parking on the ride home from the hospital. He 69, my mom 60. They are both in Heaven now but I know you’d appreciate that she shared that part with me.
I challenge anyone to make it through this w/o choking back tears...or, being truly amazed & inspired. Their love for each other is evident. This is a love story with such a beautiful & happy ending.
Wow, I had no idea what you two and your family have been through. So thankful to hear you are a God fearing man...Amen! Prayers for you right now, in this moment! ❤️ 🙏 11-3-2020
tears running down my face as I watched this video. I can so relate, I was 49 at the time and went through a horrible spinal surgery well turned into 2 of them back to back. The first dr put one of the screws in wrong into my spinal canal when caused damage forever, only I did not know this at the time. Long story short(er) I have to go into rehab and learn how to walk again, man I cannot tell you how are this was, I am now so glad it is all behind me that is but not all the severe nerve damage. I honestly feel for you two, we never know what we are able to handle until we are given it. You touched my heart in such a sweet way...... I am so glad you had each other...How amazingly strong we can be when need be.
two humble, beautiful souls that I hope spend an eternity together. I just love this couple. RIP Naomi Judd. your passing brought me to this beautiful love story. Rest easy
Human perseverance! I am just seeing this video 4/4/22. THIS is what true love is! Many women ( or men had it been situation reversed) would have walked away,,,, God was with Cactus that day and You , Wynona, were His Angel!
Wow! Everything came together in perfect harmony. What a lovely guy Cactus is. The paramedic, Winona and everyone involved with his rehabilitation you are all amazing. Thank god. Did anyone ever find out why Cactus ended up riding into the car?
So many people who played a role in this, so thanks and blessings to you all for your roles no matter how big or small. God was working overtime through y'all. So grateful that there are people like you out there. I write poetry as one of my hobbies and have always wanted to write lyrics to a song. I don't know how to put it to music but this has definitely inspired me to write again. Thanks for sharing a tragic but beautifully inspiring story of faith, hope, and hard work.
You two were made for each other, he’s not a quitter and neither are you. Wow it’s too bad you didn’t do this in your younger years. What great vows in sickness and in health. You did this Wy.
What an amazing journey. I have followed the Judd's, and Wynona over the years, I have seen them in concert when they came to Albuquerque NM. My husband and I rode motorcycle's as well. We have ridden all over the black hills , sturgis, crazy horse and mount Rushmore. My husband had a fatal motorcycle accident right in front of me almost 2 years ago. I have strong faith and know I will see him again!! When I see your story i think wow GOD can do amazing things! So inspirational! My heart goes out to you both Wy and Cactus GOD has a great plan for you both!! What a testimony!!! GOD bless you both and your families.
my cousin Donny only 28 died I 2012 leaving behind a wife and 2 small daughters because he was hit while on his Harley Davidson its been hard so to see this I can personally say its a true miracle of the LORD for sure hes alive and hes here praise God for this go bless u wy
So inspiring, your love for each other. Jehovah God in his word.. married for better or worse.. so Wynonna and family you loved Cactus through whatever come whatever come what may. Hugs.. Enjoy each other...
I have fallen more in love with Wynonna over the last few weeks watching videos and now I fell in love with her awesome hubby. They are a power couple. I love how God directed everyone to save Cactus and his Amazing. Inspiring attitude. I cried some tears too!
Watched this a few years back and now watching it again after my own miracle from God, the emotions are strong. I thank God for what He did for Cactus and Wynonna and I thank Him for what he did for me saving me when the doctors said I was going to die and nothing they could do...and die very soon. I praise your name Lord and when everyone told me you had a purpose for me and I asked you what it was...it was to spread your word and tell my miracle story for so many do not believe in miracles anymore. And I do.
Second time watching this and it still fascinates me. Awesome documentary and story of 2 amazing people. And regardless of their financial blessing and fame, he could have given up, became bitter and resentful..., but he didn't. And neither did she. Amazing story.
Just saw Wynonna and the Big Noise last night in Southwest Florida!!!! They were absolutely incredible, they mentioned on stage they made a documentary about Cactus's and Wynonna's love story, so here I am!!!! I Love Wynonna and the Big Noise!
God stayed with you both...He put all the right people at the right time right there for you all....Because your unbelievable faith was emitted to God and he heard your prayers!!!!!
I cannot get enough of this couple. They are real people and make me laugh and cry and now I know that they are in the family of Christ, praise God! Wynonna has such a beautiful man as her husband and that is a wonderful thing. Thank you Wynonna and Cactus for sharing your story with us. Thank you to all who were there at the right place and time to save this man’s life. We make our plans, but God directs our paths!
Just watched this for the second time, in April of 2022. I really didn't know much about you as a couple, but after seeing you in concert a few weeks ago, I started watching videos about your life. I'm so happy and grateful that you were able to come through all of this as a couple. God bless you both, and long life and happiness to you.
This show gave me goosebumps to see. Thanks you so much for sharing this on youtube. I live in Denmark and we don't get to see things like this on TV here. I wish they would come to Copenhagen and play. As an American living here 19 years now, I really miss my country music being readily available and these 2, are Gods gift to our ears, eyes, souls and hearts. They would be welcomed in my home to just kick back relax and be treated like regular folks and treated with homemade Danish meals and shown the local sights like other friends and family have received when visiting from The States. God Bless them, their family and may their circle never be broken. Amen
This story is amazing WY is a wonderful wife and her husband's a strong willed man I hope they stay together for a life time they are snatch made in heaven
Both the Judds both as a duo and Wynonna's solo career, and highway 101 were huge fixtures of my childhood. I am so happy that he made it and Wy found a keeper this time :)
Wynonna was the last concert i saw with my late dad in toppenish washington and it will forever be a great memory for me god bless you cactus and sean and everyone else who saved her and her hubby.
This similar thing happened to my husband 10 years ago while out on a bike training ride and hit by a motorcycle rider. He wasnt supposed to walk or run again but he was able to do a triatholon that he was training for 3 years later. God is so so Good. Had wonderful doctors and caregivers. So glad the love of your life is still in your life!! Each day is a blessing.
Thank you for this!!! Cactus is a wonderful inspiration. Wynonna shines as a loving wife. They both are brave to live through the very difficult stuff, all the while being watched by a gillion folks, who know them and care about them!! Remarkable journey. 😌 Thank you for letting us watch & share in your experience. Thanks for accepting our love. 💗🙏
It’s December 31,2023 and I’m finding out about this today. I must of been living under a rock! It is truly an amazing story of surviving, rehabbing, and most of all unconditional love and support. God is great. People are too. ❤
Wynona, I don't know you, but I love you, I respect the heck out of you, your talent was a gift from God(and your momma) sent to bring joy, fun, and comfort to all who listen. Naomi's death hit me hard because I have been living with the same things for 45 years. I'm so sad that her pain was so great. May she find the peace with God that she couldn't find on earth. Please know, all of her family and friends, her husband, there was not anything you could have done differently, sooner, nothing. I have been to that dark spot and only God and Naomi could do something. So, bless you and Cactus, Ashley, Larry
I have cried in the last week over the Judds and then I saw this documentary. This is such a beautiful story. I haven’t kept up with this family for years but wow I love Wynonna and would love to meet her and tell her what a wonderful person she is.
Thanks soooo much for uploading this.. I missed it when it aired on TV and so very much wanted to see it... Cactus and Wy, thank you for showing a fine example of a godly couple, committed to each other and to God and giving Him all the glory..
Wynonna is more beautiful than her mom or sister because of not only her beauty but so beautiful inside also to spite her mom putting her down for her weight but favoring Ashley and she should remember that wynonna was her bread and butter for years she's so u grateful , a beautiful love story with cactus's, that's what life is all about .
Saw you both in concert tonight in Independence, Mo... and am still overwhelmed and overjoyed by your tremendous story of trial and triumph. It was a truly fantastic experience to to be a part of this evening! Thank you for sharing your lives and your love with the world! God is so absolutely glorious¡!!!! 💯💞
I loved these guys before...because of their awesome talent...I love them even more now for their awesome strength and hearts..God bless Wynonna and Cactus!
WYNONNA I'm proud of you for being his nurse,changing his wound dressing, girl I have been doing it forever, nursing, I'm a nurse. But I was in South Dakota dead wood last October, contracted Covid 19 sars 2...I don't remember anything about Deadwood because I was dying. I never knew that is where You had the accident.Bravery. To get through the negatives of life. Now your mom, I have bi polar manic depression...I'm medicated too. But That darkness in the mind is a huge battle, I was so shocked about your mom.. I PRAY FOR YOU, ASHLEY, THAT you do not sink into the worst depression like your mom, it runs in families.. Statistics are Women suffer from depression more than men.Keep going girls.. Life is a very trying thing,for real.
