You have such a beautiful soul. I could have been that mom. But I have a husband that stood by me & got me help. Pills gone, but my soul was still broken. Until last December… I heard a NF song, then took the journey. It changed my life. When he released Happy on Good Friday, I cried for hours. It healed me. I went back to church for the first time in 20 years. My life is so different now. I’m praying for healing during this hard time.

God bless you & your family . Please stay strong you have a family who loves you unconditionally . My thoughts and prayers go out to you to help you stay strong. And I no if I could someone who was going through a tough time and had suicidal thoughts a hug and tell them please stay strong God loves you and your family loves you and it’s only the devil who’s giving you these bad thoughts I would . I wish I could of done that for my little cousin Louie who last year committed suicide she through herself in front of a train and she was only 14 years old she died in October 2022 . She didn’t have a good life at home her mother was a worthless mother who didn’t care about her at all but cared for her other children and her father wasn’t around he didn’t wanna know so half her life she lived in a children’s home and even sister didn’t wanna know her at all . And my cousin Terence he committed suicide the day after my grandmother died in July 2022 and In January 2022 my cousin Elizabeth committed suicide

@@eileenward I’m just seeing this after 5 months & I’m sorry I didn’t see it before. I’m so sorry for your losses. I wanted to update you that I am still staying strong & getting stronger. I have times of depression but they are not as severe or as long lasting as before. You are in my thoughts & prayers.

Bro. Being a parent is so hard. I have a daughter who has attempted suicide 3 times. Watching her hooked up to all those tubes. My son is in and out of jail. I love them to my core. Everything I do is for them. My youngest is special needs. A 1 in a billion chromosome duplication. I try. I do what I can. All the meetings. All the specialists. And still working 12 hours a night ..7pm to 7 am. 6 days a week. Just to get by. It's hard.

Never give up. Never stop fighting. I don't know you from Adam but I know you as a man. I pray for you and your family. Maybe you never get this response but what you do matters. Send my love.

I absolutely LOVE NF so much. I took my 12 & 14 year old grandsons to see him in concert in 2021. He was so good! I want to see him again in Chicago July 12th, but won't be able to go. I'm so bummed 😥 What you said about parents is so true. July 30th will be 1 year since my Momma went Home. I miss her so much. My Dad is struggling so bad still. She was his world and his reason for breathing. She was a difficult, tough woman to love at times, but he is the only person who ever truly understood her. They got together at 16 had us kids and are incredible parents and role models. Momma left us due to an accident. She fell at home and hit her head and died by bleeding out in my Dad's arms. Please send prayers up for my Dad. The 30th will be a rough one for him. Speak his name please. His name is Dennis 🙏❤️ I am so sorry for the loss of your father. May his ever loving light shine on you 🙏

Look at this man here, he cares about other people so much that he cries for us when we all know if you have watched his videos he just lost his father and not one mention of that! Thats the ultimate empathy ! RIP to Ricks Father and if you need someone to talk to Rick your subscribers got your back. Just talk about it and we are here ready to listen! In your quest to helping others just dont forget to help yourself okay? You cant be of good service to others if youre not servicing yourself! Just like your vehicle you use to transport the disabled people if you dont change the oil and service the engine it will eventually break down and be of no service to anyone! Happy 4th of July Rick God Bless!

This is the realest reaction I've ever seen. Everything you said hit home. Blessed be to you & your loved ones.

Thanks for telling us about your dad. Can tell he meant the world to you. Wish I could give you a hug man. Praying for you and your family.

You are awesome. I don’t know how to describe how much you made me feel good. 👍❤

Subbed for more NF. Every song is dope. That is rough losing your Dad. Mine died about 30 years ago and I never thought I would get over it, but it does get better. 3 days of sobriety right now. It feels great.

The most authentic reaction to this song I sob every time I listen to this song I'm right here wit u bro

Love the transparency and insight. It's easy for me to shed a tear when I'm on this side of the camera. Thank you Ricky.

Love your genuine reaction my man. You’re real. You earned another sub. 💪🙌🏼

I absolutely love you bro. Keep believing. Your message is amazing dude. Keep that positivity going my guy! Much love

Sending Love and hugs ❤

Yr a legend... I appreciate you sharing your emotions with us! ❤ from jodie in Australia

God bless you brother, you're not alone. You have a big heart and we need more men like you. Stay strong man, ima sub

I’m sorry for your loss brother. Keep up the grind. You can tell you are a good person. God bless you and the rest of your journey in this life.

WOW! I have seen this video more times than I can count and also a multitude of reactions to it. Your reaction really got to me! Thank you for keeping it so real... I almost couldn't make it through this song the first couple of times. Thanks for the great words!!

I’m thankful to have landed on your channel. Much love brother!! I appreciate your honesty and raw emotion.

they found u on a floor that one made me cry

I cry every time I listen to this song . Your reaction and words had me crying too. I am so sorry for your loss.....it is hard. I lost my dad when I was 33 years old, and I cannot put into words how hard it was....and still is at times. I am 59 years old , and still have certain songs or memories that just have me feeling that same pain & grief I had that day he passed. It is so true that we never know what people are going through and need to raise our children to have compassion & empathy for all people. This world we live in is hard and most people are broken in some way...some more than others and we just go through life trying to mend ourselves and many try to escape their reality & pain with drugs etc. I loved your message and I am certainly going to be checking out more of your channel. You should listen to NF's song "Hope" & " Mama"...He has come a long way in dealing with some of his issues. God bless you & yours.

❤😊😢 I love NF

Baby your loved as well! I had over 300 reators before I stumbled on you. Your always message of love and there's no better message!❤

Ik you prolly have so many reaching out that you might not see this, but just felt compelled to lyk, that you're a really good fucking person. And these videos you make really do have an impact on people, i knowthey do for me. The reason I watch reaction videos is because it's almost like watching something amazing and then you get really excited to show a loved one and relive the feeling when you first listened to the song. The emotion you show is raw, real, and pure 🙏🏼 keep up the great content bro.

Great reaction. Real emotion.

I don't expect this, It's so emotional for me😢.. Omg bless y'all❤

This song hits hard for me because my uncle died like a few months ago because of a drinking and my mom was crying so badly and I didn’t know what to do and I tried my best to comfort her and I felt sad and after listening to this song now how my mother felt during that moment. This is why you don’t take your loved ones for granted always check up on them make sure that their ok. My prayers go to NF, you, and everybody just enjoy life while you can cause we’re gonna die one day

You earned a sub. Appreciate you bro

Big respect from across the pond bro .. 🇬🇧 🙏 🇺🇸

love ya homieeeeeeeeee !!!!!!! keep doing ur thing u have a great heart and that shows so dont stop doing ur thing

I lost my mom when I was 26. She was only 52. I feel you, brother. I feel you. Much love.

New subby after one reaction! 🖤🖤🖤 Ready for your NF journey?

Thank you for your real reaction. It's great to see good people react to this song.

Bro your raw emotion was amazing.

You are one beautiful human being❤

I lost my father 4 years ago to alcohol and pills, this song is like a direct shot at my heart for 3 minutes, sorry for your loss man, we got your back man

Thank you brother.....I appreciate you. The lesson you learned today is, how to save a life....

one of my favorite artists

Highly recommend reacting to “MAMA” of his new album, it shows how much he has grown as a person since this song ❤

I appreciate you brotha. Thank you for doing your thing......one day at a time, much love

Condolences, I cried right along with you. Much love.

Happy Independence Day! I'm a new subscriber, and I love the content! I lost my dad 9 years ago, this coming August, and I was very close to my dad as well. Prayers for you, for your father in heaven, and for your family. My mom is 75, which is the age my dad died at (actually he died a few days before he turned 75...he celebrated his birthday in a casket). Anyway, stay strong my friend. After nine years, I can't say it's "easier," but day-to-day life without the loved one you lost becomes more "normal," if that makes sense. This is my 1st time hearing this. I've lost many friends and family members to addiction (double-digit numbers), so this hits close to home. Keep doing what you do, young man. Never lose that positive, loving attitude. God bless.

Thank you for the love....I feel it

Bro I've been listening to this song for years and I usually cry when I do listen to it but this time around I'm crying because of you it's just nice to see someone that has a heart I loved your reaction even though it made me cry

your remarkable and love it !!!!!!!!! you get it

You fully welcome to the (outcast-fam) you a brother to us man, much love yo ❤, you got our prayers 🙏. Others gonna call us depressing, reject us, and even hate us, but but that's why we are the outcast family, cuz we not understood like the in the circle nf created this is why we all so close to one another, we ain't a cult or whatever they call us man, and u really fully welcome to be a outcast, so any outcast watching... please send him a heart, let him know he got us. ❤❤❤❤

That must be a hard Song for you! Sry for your lost! Hope There be a day when you Feel better. Love from Germany my friend. ❤

Hey man, I’ve been bingeing your videos all day and ran across this one which honestly hits hard.. Def give the song running -NF a try

You have a good soul. Anyone who puts out positivity and love the way you do... Certainly gets it back!! Thank you for being you and sharing your kind energy with all of us! Much love and respect for you ❤️

You are a good person bro, if you can cry to this then you are real as real gets. Liked and subscribed. Be well brother.

Bro that smile when them babies came in 2:58 not seeing color or anything but beautiful human life in and of itself almost broke me I just found you btw...👊🎈

Man i felt it! I am the king of kid that got everything. A car paid by my dad when i was 16, food everythime that my mom cook. But one day we all have to pass by some hardtime in life. I am in it now, i am stop working for now 3 month because of anxiety et stress! I have to hide it because i have two kids and i dont want them to see this. I want them to see daddy happy! We just have to comeback stronger from all the curveball that life throw to us! Stay strong guys and much love!!!

youre such a good hearted person, every sentence of you hit me right in my heart ❤ you deserve a sub, a like and everthing, i hope you achieve everything you want, you deserve the best

You have a beautiful soul.

Everytime I watch one of your videos I end up pulling out my phone and texting everyone that I love them. I love you and your positive soul. Your videos always help me and bring me peace.

Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾

Immediately subbed to this channel In an instant my heart was going out to you I lost both parents and remember every time I need advice and remember all my mentors are gone If not for my amazing wife and beautiful children I might have given up and fallen forgotten through the tracks Remember theres help out there for anyone struggling with a loss

I dont know you brother but I love you man, I lost my mom in 97 I was 25 and it about killed me then I lost my dad in 07 and honestly I haven't given a shit about life since then it's been a struggle with depression and I'm also dealing with chronic pain due to lymphedema in both my legs. Most days I cant hardly walk and death is always on my mind it sucks brother but for some reason I keep fighting, again I love you brother prayers to you.

Oh man! This hits hard. My mom was just like his. As a child that’s all I wanted and I really did wait, emotionally and physically for her. I finally realized with maturity she is gone and it’s like a death. Mourn that loss and move on. I have a son now. Live and die for him. How I felt I would never inflict that on my boy. Thanks for the emotional reaction! Much love. NF is amazing and speaks to a lot of people. So glad he can expel his experiences thru music. Relatable

You wear your heart on your sleeve in the very best of ways. Hope you're taking care of yourself as you mourn your daddy. It's hard. Be blessed.

Life is hard and Life on life's terms suck sometimes but it can also be very beautiful like Garth Brooks sing the dance I could have missed the pain but I had to miss the dance... Love the people that love you give that stay humble and be the person that you are because you're a beautiful person I feel emotions like that too and sometimes it drives me crazy cuz I feel everybody's emotions including my own so thank you ✊

This song gets me every dang time.

This one hits different, NO mother should ever hurt her children this way…such a shame!! We love you too Rickk ❤️

Dang bro.. I just found this song and channel. You are so real. I don’t know what you’ve gone through to have the perspective you have now but I think that was Gods ultimate plan. Big love and God bless you bro. Remember though, sometimes the ones who try to heal the most.. hurt the most. Feel free to reach out if you need brother.

7:42 I feel like you're talking right to me right now😢 completely lost it when you said this part. I am struggling with so many awful demons right now but I feel like I'm being tormented and I could definitely use prayers

Yo you might not ever read this.I'm from Germany. For me I didn't lose a family member but my best friend over a fing drug addiction a few years ago. He was like my brother I never had. I can totally feel your reactions and love that you actually had those tears in your eyes.Every now and then I get trough dark pathes where I wish it should habe hit me instead of him. I appreciate your words. Lots of love for everyone ❤

Love you too Brother, sincerely.

I really like your reaction, it was real. NF’s main goal. Real. A song that I would recommend to hear is Just Like You, I Miss The Days, Hope, or Running. They’re one of my favorites

Iam sorry for your loss I lost my dad it's been a little over a year still not easy my son is 6 and misses him daily I feel it in his words and in yours I wrote this its called To Feel . The point of my existence is to feel, if you never done it, you will never know it, it is as vital as breath and without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock ticking. Feelings are not just something you have, they are something you are, Our emotions influence the decisions we make and the paths we take, How strong to love, how to hate and how quick to forgive, the fear of not knowing if you're good enough, the warm feeling of divine gratitude, And the cost of grief is great pain Because you love somebody so strongly. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart, these emotions shape the soul, they inspire, they create, they give purpose.

Happy Independence Day, Rick! ❤️🤍💙 You are loved and I pray each day gets easier for you. We all stand tall right beside you to lift you up on the days you think you can’t. We all love you and I pray blessings upon your life in Jesus name. Amen. Amy

Thank you! I'm a parent of 2 children that were not planned. Oldest is 10, youngest is 4. I'm 42 and wife is 44. I'm the dedicated worker and have turned to alcohol for comfort. Same way my mother did, I helped her get stronger and now see my path following the same way. I work everyday and don't care about it but know I need to do it to pay the mortgage, electric and other bills. My crutch will not effect my end goal but keeps me focused for my family. I know it's not the right path.

Robin Williams: Everyone you meet is going through a battle you know nothing about, be kind. I lost my Dad young, no correlation to what NF went through, but every milestone in my life I miss him, cos he should have been there to see it. Much love brother.

I would check up on my father but too much has happened and after 30 years of living i'm finally on the path to something good in my life. I saw him earlier this year and it didn't go well, he lied again as he always does. I can't risk having that in my life when it's taking everything just to keep myself on track. It sounds cold and i wish i had the capacity to help him but i can't.

4:22 I know you said being a parent is "Ey, man." but you also said "Amen" brother. I see you. And no matter where life takes you, you're a brother of mine. Mean that.

God bless you❤

Had to watch reactions to this song to make sure I was normal for having the tears flow like this 😭😭

Keep strong amigo. Lost my dad long ago .Died young. It's hard but it will get better. But always remember; you feel pain because you loved him. You do him proud !

Brother i been working the same job for 40 years. And I'm struggling with 3 kids and a wife but I'm happy.

You are a good person dawg..

Hey Rick, I've watched several of your videos. I gotta say... this world needs more people like you! When you get a chance, I think you'll appreciate the version of Amazing Grace as performed by Dan Vasc. You'll be inspired!

If you know anyone going thru anything like this text him/her say you love them and appreciate them for they became check in on them randomly askiing how they doing,.it makes such a huge difference

A smell, scent, sound can trigger a great moment or a terrible moment. BLESS YOU ALL!

bro every time i hear this i cry

We are a NA family and the only work my dad could get was on a tug boat. He 1 day fell and hit his head from10 feet on concrete which gave him bad seizures.The doctors put him on a whole bunch of pain meds and anti-anxiety meds. 1 day he had a seizure, like many times before so I put a pillow under his head till it was over and put him in his chair to come out of it later.I came back later and found out he wasn't breathing. Called EMT and all that s*** and once they send you to that private room, you know what they're about to tell you and on the autopsy reported it was due to over prescribing those meds, which is what gave him a massive heart attack and killed him. I hate to say it this way but he was a little unstable and my sister was physically and mentally handicapped, and only 3 months after, we had to make the hard decision to let her die because of her handicap, "she had no quality of life" according to the fuckn government and would not be put on the list for a kidney due to renal failure and she died by me and my mom's decision because she didn't understand and the dialysis hurt her because she had the mind of a two-year-old at 35 and she didn't understand the pain of dialysis. If he would've been around, It would have been even more horrible RIP❤

i live in a foster family because my father is an alcoholic and my mother can't take care of me and this song keeps me in tears i just recognize so many thing in this song even though it's not a drug situation by me there is so much recognizable just like the sentence you should be here for us and much more😕 I pray for everyone who is having a difficult time 🙏🏻

I lost my mother from her addiction. I was only 25 and she was 47. It was very unexpected and I was so angry at her for years and years because I felt like it could have been avoided. But having gone through my own addiction issues in recent years, I understand the struggles

I wore waterproof mascara every day for 2 years after my dad died. The tears would come out of nowhere. The grief and his passing were so unexpected. Every time the tears came, I got through it quickly by reminding myself how so lucky I was to have him love me. His kinda love isn't known by everyone, so I am just gratefull. I miss him, everyday, so very much. R. I. P. Daddy (Audy Ingle) 2/24/2017 🤍🙏

Thank you. Bawling. Just thank you. I have your heart. I feel for people beyond belief. I have a child from an epitomy of rape, my second son committed suicide last year right before Christmas, burned our family's house down, then shot himself My now ex, had him help move out.. We were married for 20yrs... Didn't know that my kid, was forced into being so secretive... From his dad to move in with another woman and can't tell Mom. Ketamine, straight A student, quiet man. Being at youth group with his brother, broke his arm and that's when the ex met HER and persued it. I'm a preacher 's kid. Praise and worship leader that I had to step back from. Tryna figure it out. I'm not mad at God. He's so so good to u, but I put HIM away to be numb...horrible. but I feel for people and cry all the time with them. Praise God for empathy, even though it's rough.

NF recently made a part to to this song 5 years later and how it’s perspective has changed as he got older and has his own kids it’s so beautiful man!!! Plz plz plz check it out ! You won’t regret it man ! Much love ❤ I lost my mom to an OD when I was 20 man it’s never easy losing a parent but the way ur going about it is helping me heal man I love you bro keep up the amazing work ! 5 years later and I still struggle everyday man and you have me balling on my way to work lol much love man sometimes feelings just need to get out and ur doing an amazing job reminding people that ❤

Thank you for the love. Love you back. I commented last week about my heart episode after I was in the hospital. My kids lost their father early in life...I raised them alone after their dad died. It means a lot to me to hear kind words. They've struggled with his loss. I worried so much in the hospital for them and how they felt about me being sick. I am all they have. It's a lot .and they're such good people. Just as you are. If you're fighting these heavy battles, keep fighting. There really are brighter days coming. I promise.

This man literally saved my life at the risk of sounding cliche... I cut my wrist and 2 days later I woke up on life support... I had every intention of finishing what I started the day I got out of the mental hospital... that was the day HOPE was dropped... I told myself then if even NF could find it then maybe I could as well...I'm getting the word HOPE over the scars on my wrist with a semicolon to signify that my story isn't over... I wrote it myself in a scratch font like the word LOST on my neck in NFs handwriting...OUTCAST for life 👊🎈
