This is one of the roughest things about losing a loved one. All it takes is a word, phrase or memory and the tears start flowing. I cry at least once a night watching KZread reactions

Tim wrote this song about his Dad “Tug McGraw” baseball player. Sending you a virtual hug. It never is easy losing a loved one.

This is incorrect. The song was written by Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman. But Tim fell in love with it given what happened to Tug.

This song was not written by Tim as some have posted below. It was written by Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman (the latter who also co-wrote "Believe" by Brooks and Dunn). "Live Like You Were Dying" was not written about any one specific person - the two tunesmiths penned it after thinking of several friends of theirs and family members who had died 'before their time' as some like to say because of a sudden or lengthy illness like cancer. As happens with music demos, it gets sent to several artists to see if they like it or not. Well, it was sent to Tim shortly after his father - MLB pitcher Tug McGraw was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in March of 2003. Tug died on January 5th, 2004 - and Tim, who had already decided to record it - did so just about a week after his father passed. (Sources: Songfacts, Wikipedia)

I hear you brother. I lost my father when he was 37. I knew him as a son, never got to know him as a man. Cherish your moments people! They are priceless!!!

Wow! This is the very content reaction viewers are craving. Real people, reactions to real music and sharing real emotions. I'm commenting as someone who is dreading the 30th anniversary of my dad passing in a few months. His influence in my life is more powerful now, yet I've now lived much longer without him, than with him in my life. I promise you with every tear I have cried, your dad is beyond proud of what you are doing. In the least expected moments, a situation will have his fingerprints all over it and you will know. I wish you a beautiful and sacred grieving process. The angel sitting next to you has got your back and is feeling your pain with you. When you are feeling ready, I'd love to hear you occasionally react to your dad's favorite songs, like little tributes to your dad on your channel. Sending all the good vibes and understanding hugs as you navigate this sweet and tender journey. 💜💜💜

I think that bubbles is one of the luckiest women on the earth to have a wonderful man like you. May God bless you both and keep you both all the days of your lives.❤️🙏🏻

This is such a powerful song. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope all of you who are still with us do go fishing together and celebrate your dad's life--and your own.

Dude, I lost my Dad as well, I literally feel your pain, much love Bro, you have a gentle soul……. respect 👊🏼

May your dad rest in peace in the arms of God Almighty. I'm a grown man and I cry so easy at other's pain. God Bless my friend! ❤️

I lost my dad more than 20 years ago. I still cry when I think about the good times.

Never apologize for honest reactions to life and music. Ive had so much loss since 2021, you moved me. As a mother, I just wanted to hug you 😢

I just heard this quote recently and it's been stuck in my head. "Grief is love with no place to go."

Sending all the love! This is a beautiful song, one of my favorites by Tim. Sending healing to your family❤

So sorry to hear about your dad passing. I can only imagine how hard this song must’ve hit. God bless!

So sorry to hear about your dad. Prayers for you 🙏🙏

Crying with you always to this song

I'm very sorry for your loss young man it's hard losing a parent at any age God bless

Relish in the time you have with anyone. Not everyone is to stay. Friends relationship family. You never know when it ends. So have as many memories as you can with them.

Love your raw emotion to this. I lost my daddy September 2021 & I still go to call him it just doesnt seem real. I had to tell my kids papa went to heaven but his love is always in your heart & he's always in your memories he's never far you can look up to talk to him he'll hear you. I hope that comforts you in some small way❤

Tim did not know that the famous baseball player, Tug McGraw was his father until he was 11 I think. Tug never really accepted him for years and years but they finally united and then he lost his Dad. You should read about his story!! Great reaction!

My prayers are with you!

You can’t help but to cry

Sorry for your loss. I miss my Pops every day.

Simply, thank you.

You got yourself a good woman there I saw her comfort you, hold your hand. My wife does the same for me. I recently lost something that was very important to me that was left to me by a family member who passed. I was so upset and she hugged me and comforted me because she knew how bad I was hurting over the loss.

Brother.

Rickk it's ok to cry when you hear this song (sorry about your Dad). I do almost every time. When I play this song on my guitar it's hard to get through and play it all the way to the end. We love Tug in Philly - he was something special. Great song.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Losing your Dad is super hard. This song came out in 2004, I'd been diagnosed with breast cancer & was in my early 40s. My sister heard this song & called me, she said you've got to listen. I did and still cry every time I hear it. I was blessed & have been cancer free for almost 20 years. Praying for you & your family.

I'll be 68 in 5 days and I lost both my folks and my oldest son 30 years ago. That was the third son I'd lost. And certain songs will bring tears from me every single time all these years later. You never get over it. But there will come a time when you can talk to friends about them with smiles instead of tears in your eyes.

I broke down watching you break down. This song always makes me think of my dad. Bless you.

He recently sang this for a Toby Kieth remembrance and good bye 🤟🤟🤟

sorry for your loss brother

Beautiful reaction , feeling you

Good Testimony

God bless ♥️

i feel you brother. my dad passed 3 years ago and i still miss him terribly

I just found you tonight you sweet soul. Your message on this one hit me hard so thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry for your loss.

I stumbled across u today and have been glued to ur channel this was my moms favorite song we lost her in October 2021 due to complications with her mechanical heart valve and pacemaker she always lived her day like it was her last the day she sang this song to me and my sisters growing up and to my own children she was only 51 years young

I'm so sorry about your Daddy Rick *hugs* may he rest in peace and continue to watch over you and yours from Heaven ♥This is such a beautiful song and I love country music ^.~

When you get the kind of news in this song ... your perspective on life changes. A good friend of mine passed six months ago, she was simply the kindest person I've ever known. She fought 14 different cancers ... yes you're reading the correctly ... for five years and never complained. We were both told we had serious illnesses within two weeks of each other. Her first known cancer was deemed to be gone and only months later they found all the others. My situation was / is different. I'm 64 and won't likely see 70 (I'm not sure I make 65). It was freeing to learn that some things that had been happening had a reason. It is also freeing to know I can do what I want and to hell with the people who judge me. So to all who see this ... take this song to heart ... Live Like You Are Dying - because every single one of you are dying, every second of every day you are one second closer ... so stop doing the unimportant things and LIVE!

This means alot to me I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago and now cancer free so I live everyday like it’s my last

bless you man.

U know what. Sometimes I feel like skipping a fishing trip with my dad and my grandpa but this song made me realize that I won’t be able to have this forever. A beautiful bay view with my grandpa and my dad. From now on I will always plan on going to every fishing trip!!

My condolences to you and your family 🥺 Thanks for sharing your ❤with us. This what reactions are all about. Hey you relate to the music and the lyrics. Keep doing what you’re doing 🥹

So so sorry for your loss💔 my dad was my best friend that I lost too soon and too quickly….one thing I’ve learned these past 5 years…don’t let anyone else decide the timeline of your grieving process. So many people told me to say goodbye and move on…Time doesn’t heal IMO, we just figure out how to live with it. I appreciate you for being so open with your emotions💜💜💜💜

Sprry i made you cry again my friend but i knew you would like this one its just so beautiful life is so short and we cant take life for granted we gotta live life to the fullest.. i love you my friend and im so glad were friends. Glad god brought you and your gal into my life and your family love you all ...im so glad i found yout channek when i did because its truly been a blessing getting to know you ..😊

He’s in heaven..

Oh you made tears come to my eyes on this one

I absolutely love your heart❤ Keep being you. You're a wonderful person and that's why we keep coming back to your channel

I do not want to sound gay and shit but when you started to cry I so wanted to give you a hug and I am 57 years old. When I watch you and your reactions I flash back to the hospital room the day my passed way in 2000. You bringing back all the memories and emotion in me

Man I knew when I saw the title it was gonna hit you hard. Virtual hugs coming at ya young man.

This song always hits me hard

I still cry every time I hear this song. My uncle taught me to fish. I miss my uncle so so much. Watching him dying in hospice. Tore me apart

Prayers to you my friend! I’m 22 my dad fought cancer the past year now and he’s finally in remission from it. I’ll be praying for you. This song made me cry when I listened to it after my dad was diagnosed last year. But I know your dad is up there watching!

Thank you...

I am sorry for your loss. Keep his memory fresh/alive. remember what he taught you.

Lost my dad when I was 8, I feel you brother that same line gets me every time I listen. Losing a parent is never easy, let yourself grieve.

Crying with you brother. I just lost my mom a month ago. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I just saw this! You are so right about living your life every day to the fullest! Im so sorry you're still so sad about your dad! My heart breaks for you! I lost both my parents and i know your pain! I pray God continues to give you strength and healing! ❤🙏🙏🙏

Love and respect coming to ya, Rick. And even some hugs, bro. You'll never forget Pops but I promise you it gets a little easier and soon whenever you think of him, you smile instead of cry. That's from experience, my friend.

Wonderful reaction, man. Lost my Dad in 2005 and I still miss him terribly. From an old Marine Corps vet-don't be afraid to show emotioN. It just shows you're real and makes you relatable. 👍

Tim McGraw is from My Home State, of Louisiana. This song was written for father when his father got cancer, his father is very famous baseball player. his name was tug McGraw he played baseball for the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers I think.

I have always been told a Stranger is just somebody you have not MET yet! 😊

I'm a truck driver...some years ago, I was stuck in some NC mountain tourist trap of a town over the weekend, waiting for the customer to open the following Monday. left my truck at the customer, walking around for food and lodging when a couple pulled up in an SUV asking if I needed a ride. To this day, I'm wondering if it were Faith and Tim...sure looked like them. I believe that they're that kind of people...wish I knew for sure, but inthe end it doesn't matter. Just know I gained a bit of faith in humanity that night....a rare occurrence.

Oh your emotions! So, so sorry about loosing your Dad not long ago. The pain will be with you always but it does get better. My Dad over 20 years ago and I can still cry thinking about him. My heart hurts for you. If you want more tearjerkers try "Believe" by Brooks & Dunn and keep the tissues handy when you do. Hang in there - time does heal all wounds.

Also there a song by Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard called "undivided ".

So sorry to hear about your dad. It's always tough losing a loved one. Everytime I hear this song, I think about my mother which I lost in 2017. It's insane how music can bring out emotions we think we have under control. Nothing but love to you.

My daughters best friend was killed today, an ex worker went into the workplace and shot and killed 2 innocent workers. Hearing this song hit hard. Dustin just turned 20, he had his whole life ahead of him.

I feel your pain my brother,,, I lost both my parents 6 months apart last year. I still hear things or see things that hit me in my feels.

Rickk, I've been watching your reactions and have subbed to your channel. I can say that I am a pretty good judge of people, and I can say, with confidence, that watching you, I know your dad was a great man with a good heart. I can see him in you. Keep giving out the good word.

Love your honesty. You wanna cry again???? Tim McGraw "I've Got Friends That Do".

I don't know if I'll see this but I lost my mom 11 years ago I want to let you know the pain decreased eventually I don't think it ever goes away but over time it becomes a tiny thing rather than feeling like your heart's been ripped out the laughs you shared and the wonderful memories will outweigh the pain of the lose.

Tim McGraw has a song called, "Don't Take the Girl" It is a 1990's time lapse storytelling song. CHECK IT OUT!

I’m sorry for your loss. Your reaction showed me how much your dad meant to you ❤️

This song hits so hard. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm a new subscriber, I've been watching you for awhile now I love your reactions,,this song means alot to me cause the first time I heard it I'd just found out I needed brain surgery 😢and I thought I was gonna die, I lived New Orleans and it was right before Katrina was getting ready to hit,I was working and got off work at 3am jump I'm my car cut my radio on,I lived Slidell Louisiana drove across the twin span bridge going down to the French Quaters this song came on all I could do was cry 😢my eyes out, I literally had brain surgery in 12hrs and standing on the side of the road waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up, never got a follow-up because 2 day's later Katrina kit it wiped Charity Hospital out in New Orleans and like I said I lived in Slidell, where the leavies broke and I lost everything, I'm 60yrs old now and I live on the Georgia-Tennessee line and I've had another Brain surgery and I'm a 10yr Breast Cancer Survivor 🎀 God is Good, but I still live everyday like I was dying, Thank You Sir for your reaction and I hope you have a Blessed Day 🙏🏻😇
