teary eyed after listening

THIS VIDEO BROUGHT ME TO TEARS NOT ONLY FOR SOLDIERS KEEPING US SAFE WHICH IS A BLESSING IN ITSELF BUT THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE LIKE ME COULD APPLY ALOT OF THOSE FEELINGS I HAVE ABOUT MY DAUGHTER. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. I ADMIT I WAS NOT THE BEST MOTHER I COULD OF BEEN IN HER YOUNG YEARS BUT AS SHE WAS IN HER TEENS WE HAD A BOND AND SHE KNEW SHE COULD ALWAYS TELL ME ANYTHING BUT IF I EVER CAUGHT HER IN A LIE SHE WOULD BE BUSTED. SHE WAS IN A SELF DESTRUCTIVE MODE AND WAS DOING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SHE COULD DO TO HURT HERSELF WITH MY HEALTH DECLINING AND SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER DAD BECAUSE HE GAVE HIS PART OF CUSTODY TO HIS PARENTS AND COULD NOT LIVE WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS IN HOSPITAL MORE THAN NOT. BUT IT WAS MY FAITH AND LOVE FOR HER TO FIGHT TO STAY IN HER LIFE. HER DAD AND I DID NOT TALK BUT I CAUGHT HER IN A LIFE OF SMOKING DOPE AND GOT WORD TO HIM AND SHE WAS PUT IN JAIL OVERNITE, THAN HOUSE ARREST AND ONLY ALLOWED TO COME SEE ME AND ANOTHER COUPLE THAT NEVER HAD KIDS SO THEY ADOPTED HER KINDA. SHE WAS LIVID AND REALLY MAD AT ME WHEN I SAID IT WAS ME THAT GOT WORD TO HER FATHER BUT AFTER SHE COOLED OFF SHE TOTALLY DID A TURN AROUND, GRADUATED WITH HONORS AND ON TO COLLEGE ON DEANS LIST. IT BROUGHT US CLOSER AND WE DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER EVEN IN FAILING HEALTH SHE WAS THERE AND THEN HER HUSBAND WOULD TAKE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF THE BANK FOR HIS EXPENSIVE TOYS AND SHE WOULD ASK ME IF SHE COULD USE MY CREDIT CARDS TO PAY BILLS. I DID IT BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT HER TO LOOSE ALL SHE HAD WORKED FOR TO MAXING MY CARDS OF ABOUT FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. AND WHEN I NEEDED MEDICATION SHE GAVE ME A CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO USE AND THEN SAID IT WAS NO AUTHORIZED TO USE. WHEN I CALLED HER ON IT SHE SAID I BETRAYED HER AND DID WHAT SHE DID BEST BLAME SOMEONE ELSE. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES SINCE CUTTING ME OUT DOCTERS DO NOT KNOW HOW I PULLED THRU. A FRIEND WOULD CALL HER AND SHE WOULD NOT EVEN LISTEN. I HAVE 2 GRANDKIDS I HAVE NEVER MET AND I AM SURE THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME THEN DEPRESSION SET IN LAST JULY AND I GOT A RUDE AWAKENING WHEN I FELL AND BROKE ANKLE IN 2 PLACES AND TWO WEEKS LATER FROM THE FALL MY RIBS INJURED MY LUNGS AND THEY BOTH COLLAPSED AND I JUST PRAYED TO GET ME THRU AND I ACTUALLY FELT AT PEACE AND KNEW GOD WOULD SEE ME THRU. I ENDED UP IN CCU FOR 6 DAYS AND CHEST TUBES IN BOTH LUNGS AND WAS RELEASED FROM CCU TO HOME WITH SPIRITS RENEWED. FOR GIVE ME FOR BEING SO LONG WINDED BUT TIMS SONG BROUGHT BACK THOSE AMAZING FEELINGS. TIM JUST KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER AND BETTER SO I THANK YOU TIM FOR YOUR UPLIFTING TALENT AND HEART. GOD BLESS YOU

Awesome song.....GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY WHO GIVE THEIR LIFE EVERDAY! Because of them...we are free!!!

This is the 1st time I have heard this song. And like ladybug74 said, GO BLESS our Soldiers! My daddy was in the Army for 30 yrs so I do consider myself a PRIVILEGED! He was a CSM and EARNED IT ALL! No School.. So Tim Continue making music that ALL of your fans can relate to whether it be War time or hard times, we can all relate!

Keep doing what you're doing Tim McGraw. Beautiful song..and performance(heartfelt)
