My grandad was in the war that year. The young men at his funeral knew who he was, respected him so much they got nervous folding the flag, had to refold it before giving it to his daughter (my aunt). I cry all the time and it's okay. You'll be okay, honey. ❤

I'm 57, my dad died when I turned 21. I did CPR on him. Planned his funeral helping my mom who could not deal with it. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer 6 months later. I was the oldest and my youngest sibling was 12. Very difficult but follow your emotions through the pain. Joy comes again. 💜

Thank you from a Navy mom and may God bless you❤❤❤

God bless you brother. My son was killed by a drunk driver in 2014. He was 33 years old and my only child. They are worth our grief and our tears. But remember to look to the Lord when it becomes unbearable. God will sometimes send a storm to bring light to your life. Look to Him. God bless you always.

May you forever be lifted up. I'm 73. I have lost many of my family, including my son when he was just 27. The best words I can share with are about a tapestry. If you look at a tapestry from the back side it is a mess. But when you see the front side, you understand. All colors make no sense from the back of the tapestry. On the front side, you understand each positive and negative of events, like threads make a beautiful picture. We all have those moments. Sometimes, just sitting next to the one grieving is enough to give them strength. No words are needed. Your experience will be a strength to others. As you described his life, make that yours! You are his son, let him continue to live on through you. May you be blessed for being so transparent with your feelings. At this moment, you are the voice of humanity to itself.

Thankyou for sharing. I lost my dad when I was 8 years old back in 1966. My big brother passed away at 29. My mom passed in 2009 and my last brother in 2010 from cancer. I miss them all so much and I pray I will be reunited with them all one day. It’s hard to not cry when I think of them. They were all military connected my dad US Airforce. My mom British army, my big brother was US Army fought in Vietnam and my other brother was US Airforce in Desert Storm. God knows how much I miss them but I will see them again one day.

It has been 17 years since we lost our father. The loss is never filled. The peace within is knowing that our bodies pass, but our souls live on. Always smile and remember the wonderful moments bc their souls are the stars in our skies, and they see all just like Our Lord & Savior.

My papa(moms dad) passed in April '98. I took emergency leave from Marine Corps boot camp PISC and flew to Tampa for his funeral. He taught me a lot and I loved him so much! I've cried in my lifetime bc of physical pain I've endured but this song hit my heart so hard bc it was played at his funeral and many of my family held me. I walked up to the casket and kissed him on his forehead and said 'i love you papa'. I was pulled out of the pew and put in line with the paulbearers to carry him from the church to the herse and then to the gravesite. My was also a WWII Navy veteran who served on the battleship USS North Carolina. It's been a little over 26 years ago that we lost him but the memories are still there. I miss him still but I know when I go to be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I will see his face again!

Condolences 🙏. I lost my husband unexpectedly October of 2022. I thought losing my Mom was the hardest to except, but your spouse... its a different kinda pain! I know if he was here he wouldn't want me depressed and hurting. It's a very difficult pain to cope with. Talking to someone who knows how u feel is a blessing. Have a great day, and may God continue to give you strength thru. 💞💞

I know your loss. I died twice within a few hours. The second time, it took a while to get me back and I crossed. I was walking through a meadow with my parents on each side of me. Both were young and healthy. They were escorting me to home. I was so mad when the doctors pulled me back. But I can tell you for a fact (not just faith) that we will be reunited one day in a land of no sorrow and pain. Living here in a human body is the price we all pay for that eternal life. Love you.

I'm with you, brother. It's been 6 years since I lost my dad and I miss him everyday. Hearing you describe your dad reminds me so much of my dad. When the phone calls stopped, it was hard. Your dad was blessed to have a son like you who. Praying for you, my friend.

I laid my mom to rest last December and my dad will have went home it'll be 2 years ago in October! Even the pain of letting dad go almost 2 years ago still lingers in my heart! We played this song at both their funerals! I live in the memories that I have of both of them! Much prayers and love for you too, brother!

I still cry every time I hear that song. He's a brave man to just to get up and sing this song without breaking down!👍

33 years since the love of my life...my wife passed. And now as my health fails I see this as my chance to go home soon and once again see her beautiful smiling face. One powerful song that is right there...❤

I lost my mom 2 years ago today and I still miss her more than you will ever know. I am crying with you at this EXACT moment. Don't hold it in, let it all out. I had this song played at my dad's funeral six months from my mom's passing. We all LOVE U BRO...

@turdsrule TO EVERYONE WHO HAS LOST LOVED ONES OR FRIENDS loosing a parent is a hard pill to swallow. I was in the hospital giving birth to my daughter. Afterwords my brother came in and asked his wife to take BreeAnna- my daughter-. That is when they told me my mother had passed I was in such a state I couldn't even breast feed. 😢 I felt like my daughter got my mother's life. You know? I was loosing a life but gaining one too. She even has my mom's initials- BJJ. HER middle my daughter's middle name is JOY because she brought me so much Joy at such a difficult time. But and someone told me when they were hugging me . If we both have and she- had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and excepted Him as our Lord and Savior- we will only be separated for a short time only a short time. Because our time on this earth now is nothing compared to being in heaven rejoicing PRAISING HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER . BEING WITH OUR SAVED FAMILY AND FRIENDS CHRIST IS COMING SOON . My prayers are with everyone who watches Rickk we are family united in love . I am on my 3rd cancer I am not afraid or mad I just know I AM ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO JESUS CHRIST. ❤️🙏May God bless u all- we are a family gathered in love wrapped in faith. My prayers 🙏🙏are for you all.we all love you Rickk we love you Peace to all❤ sending prayers ❤❤🙏🙏p.s. my mom died and Bree was born on the same day. I knew God orchestrated every moment. Don't b afraid of death- accept it when it is time . She died in her sleep. Can u imagine going to bed and then waking up with Christs' smile looking at u . Remember: ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO CHRIST ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏.

A trio performed this at my Moms funeral. The word Son was replaced with child, but it perfectly described my Mom. My father had a stroke in his 30s due to alcoholism. She brought him home taught him to walk, speak, everything. The irony is she was getting ready to leave him when this happened. She cared for him along with raising her 3 children when this happened. She is and always will be a better woman than me. After 15 years I still miss her so much. May God comfort you and wrap his arms around you.

I lost my baby boy in 2020 and he was only 32, and his dad is the one who took his life! My sons ghost is here with me and he told me his dad was the one who overdosed him and took his life. My son told me if I want to see him again I have to ask God to forgive and get rid of the hate I feel for what his father did. I have had a terrible time trying to do what my son asked of me. But a friend told me I have only to ask God for forgiveness. I miss my son everyday! The hurt for you is new, but I know God will help us all, and that he took my son to release him from his pain but it is so so hard with him gone!! His name was Justin and he had just turned 32 ten days before he was gone. He was born 4/16/88 and gone 4/26/2020. Prayers to you and broken hearts take a long time to heal if ever. Your video touched my heart ❤️ but it still is hard to lose someone and they have a name for people who lose a parent, or a spouse, but there is no name for someone who loses a child. He was such a sweet boy, he would do anything for someone if he could. God got a good one when he got my baby boy. Only the good die young is so true when you lose a child. Thank you for your video. His favorite song was fireflies by owl city. Would appreciate a dedication to Justin and play the song for him from all of us who miss him everyday! Thank you. Please let me know when I can see this dedication. I will definitely save it. Prayers and hugs. Melodie Davis in Ohio

Vince Gill originally wrote this song about Keith Whitley, a fellow country singer who passed away suddenly due to alcohol poisoning, hence the reference in the first verse, "You were no stranger to the rain," one of Keith Whitley's biggest known songs was, "I'm No Stranger To The Rain." Then, Vince Gill's brother passed away and that's when I believe he released this song. Either way a beautiful song.

I wish you love and peace. Your attitude is amazing. Your daddy is now resting high on that mountain.

Let it out, never hold your pain in. He sounds like a beautiful human being. The greatest way to honor your Dad is to make him a proud Angel of God. He's with you always. You will feel his presence one day and you will know its him. Life is Definitely short, I lost my Mom at an early age then 3 months later I lost my only brother. My husband and I struggled to have a child. Took us 7 years, she never got to hold my first son but she did know that I was pregnant. Its been 34 years since both are gone and 8 years for my baby sister passed. It was difficult losing my mother and I still need her everyday even though I am 66. I could use her words of wisdom right now. Be the best you can be. That's what all our parents want. God knows your pain and he is right beside you just let him in. So so sorry for your loss. 😢❤🙏

Vince wrote the first verse for his friend, Keith Whitley, when he passed away and finished it when his brother died. Vince's lyrics are heartfelt and moving and his guitar work is, as always topnotch. Also his lovely tenor voice. I've always been a fan of Vince's. God bless you during this sad time of loss, my friend. I will keep you and your family lifted up in prayer.

This song means a lot to me. I lost a very good friend while in highschool and this song was new at the time. The parents played this song at his funeral and I collapsed. It was a song like it was written for him. And I couldn’t listen to it for almost 10years until my fathers mother died. They played it at her funeral. This song always crushes my heart, but means so much. One of the singers in this video is Patty Loveless. She has a song “How Can I Help you To say Goodbye”. It’s beautiful you would very much love it too. Also I would tell you to listen to Reba McIntyres “If I Had Only Known”. This was my mother’s song to her brother, who was her best friend. You can feel Reba’s loss in this song. And it has a big back story that you should read. Much love to you, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 6 years ago and it still feels like yesterday. Keep the good times replaying in your mind to ease your heart. ❤

My daughter called me wile I was watching your video so I needed to stop because she needed me . When I was able to get back to watching it I could not remember why I was watching it until I thought to myself that my daughter needed me and it reminded me that your father just passed and that might be the reason why you are watching that video . So I am thankful that I get to watch this video with you .God Bless You and your Entire Family .

This is a beautiful song. Also played at my Mom’s service nearly 10 years ago. Grief is a journey; you have my condolences.

Sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace and consolation during this tough time. Your love for your Dad shows. God bless you, and thanks for the reaction to this beautiful song.

We played this at our sons funeral he took his life at the age of 19. Im so sorry young man for the lost of your dad. This song reminds me of our son Christopher. God bless you young man .

Absolutely love this song. I have lost my parents and 2 siblings. Sending our thoughts and prayers!! Hugs.

Sorry for your loss, no need to be sorry! I lost my parents and you never get over it. But hopefully we can pick up where they left off and help make this world a better place because they were here! 🤙

For those who might be wondering, he really does answer his DMs. I've been blessed chatting with him on Instagram the last few days. He doesn't just send you robotic replies that feel like he's sent everyone the same message. He actually takes time to personally reply to YOU. He has really been a blessing to me personally. I will be anxious to see his upcoming reaction. I didn't know someone had requested this video, but I thought about this song today as I was watching some of his other videos. I knew he liked Home Free, so I had requested Home Free's version of this song before he released this video! He messaged me back and told me he had just listened to the Vince Gill version of the song.

Thank you for your uplifting spirit! You touch my heart so sincerely!

My thoughts and prayers are with you my Brother. God Bless you. Much love to you.

My Dad got sick when I was 15. He died when I was 22. In November, he will have been gone 30 years. There are times, not always, but there are still times, that this song (and one or two others) comes on the radio and I have to pull over. It DOES get better. But it never goes away. That's the mark of a life well lived. They live on through us. My recommendation would be, "Hold On to Memories" by Disturbed. The live version is very good, but the official video tells a story. Much

My Dad died on Christmas 1986 I lost my mom December 19 2005 and I think they are with y'all's family watching over us in heaven

I am so glad you listened to this song. It’s so very beautiful. Sending you soo much love.

I lost my grandma February 5th 2018 from a UTI that went septic and my grandpa from a heart attack from his pacemaker March11th 2015. I miss them both so much and i will pray for you and your family to heal from this tragic loss! May your father rest in gods hands! I am so sorry for your loss!

Lost my mom this past December. Spent 3 months wanting out....looking at my shotgun. Vince Gill ...and you helped me cry it out ....so thank you. Couldn't send this sooner because my heart was broken....but it's on the mend. God bless.

I had two very talented musicians who performed this at my father's funeral for me. I lose it every single time I hear it and it's been just a couple of weeks shy of 16 years. Hugs and love from a daughter to a son, you have let your soul shine. I know your dad would be proud.

💕 Love to your family man 🙏 Go rest high on that mountain.

I lost my Dad 20 years ago, and I still catch myself wanting to call him to share good news. The love you carry in your heart, and his memory you share, keep him alive through you, the greatest honor you can give him. I hope you have found some peace and comfort.

Hold on tight to those good memories. They are going to get you through the rough times ahead. Sounds like you were very blessed to have the dad you did.

Vince sang this for fellow singer and friend, Keith Whitley’s passing. Then he sang it upon his own brother’s death. Patty Loveless helped Vince get through it for George Jones’ memorial tribute. Beautiful and deeply meaningful song.

He started writing it after Keith Whitley died but did not finish it till his brother died in 93

I lost my husband in 2021. He was the kindest person to me as his partner, and to the people around him. He had the most beautiful laugh… it was infectious. Donald went through the most trauma in his life, more than anyone I have ever known, but he made sure that everyone who h3 encountered that needed someone had someone. It didn’t matter how big or small the issue was. He gave everything, and he made every person important. This song was played at a lot of southern funerals that he and I had to attend for his close family, and I had to play it at his. This brings back so many feelings and memories. As much as he maybe wouldn’t have wanted this song played it’s so intertwined in us, and in him as a person. Thank you so much for sharing this and being vulnerable. I feel less alone in my grief. Thank you

New subscriber here. My heart goes out to you & your family. I'm 65 & miss my Dad every day. We lost this amazing man Sept. 2017. It feels like yesterday. My mother mentioned having Go Rest High On That Mountain to be sung at his funeral, but we hadn't made the final decision. That day the hospice nurse stopped by our home to check on Dad and she asked if she could sing a song for us. We gathered around my father and that was the song she sung. Not a dry eye in the room. I'll never forget it or her kindness. May your father rest in peace. This is a song I found after his funeral that I find comforting. Dani & Lizzy - "Dancing in the Sky". Condolences to your family.

I lost my dad in 1998 when I was 14yrs old, and this song was played at his funeral. I just cried with you listening to that song. Some of your memories that you speak of I had the same memories with my dad. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I also lost my dad in 1998...I was 22 at the time, and my 1st baby just turned 1 year old the month before. It all seems like it was just yesterday.

I lost my mom and dad within four months of each other. The loss of your foundation is difficult to rebuild. You have such a positive message. Glad I found your channel. James Blunt has a song he wrote when his father was diagnosed with cancer called Monsters. I cried replaying that song for two hours after losing my dad and my mom four months prior. Music is cathartic. We all feel your heartache.

It’s so hard , I didn’t appreciate my Mom like I should have . It took a year before I could deal with it . Then 2022 my son dies , a different feeling of grief & guilt. Did I teach him enough about our Lord . I believe he’s with God . Because as a friend called him , he’s a pure soul . My son & I were very close unlike with Mom . She wasn’t affectionate, yet she met our needs . Picture perfect 50’s Mom .

This is my first time on your channel and I am blessed to stumble on to it. Lost my sister recently and empathize with you. Remembering you in my prayers. Stay strong. Live to be a man your Dad would be proud of ❤z

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded as generous as my dad was. I know your pain and the tears you cry. Hugh’s to you and yours as you go through this season of grief.

Oh Honey your reaction made me subscribe... you are not afraid to be real and authentic. Thank you for sharing memories of your father with us. He sounds like a beautiful man with such a loving heart, and you have clearly inherited that from him. I lost my only brother in 2019 and my mom less than a year later in 2020. Vince wrote this song about his own brother who passed away, and of course I think of my own brother every time I hear it. Yes, I am crying with you. May God Bless you and surround you with comfort and peace. You have a hole in your heart that will never be filled, but you will grow beauty and life around that hole, and you know that is what your dad wants for you.❤

I'm so very sorry for your loss of your Dad! I lost my Dad 58 years ago. But this song and seeing your grief brings it all back. May God bless all of us.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
