I'm a single mom and the first time I heard this song I cried. It takes a real man to step up and raise someone else's kid like their own.

You are correct I will forever be grateful to my husband for stepping up. I had 3 kids 4,3 and 1 one day this wonderful man just took on the headaches he took us off welfare food stamps. My kids knew now what it was to now not go hungry wear good shoes and clothes etc. we have been together 30 years. He’s not perfect but where there biological father failed no child support no visitation in 25 years or anything at least the kids enjoyed vacations, little league, everything kids are supposed to.

​@@sherrera66 Usually don't put this out, but met my wife of 42 years during a domestic abuse situation with her ex boyfriend, put him in hospital for a long time for what I saw him doing that night. Long story short, she had 2 and 4 year olds that I accepted as my own a year and a half later when we were married. We also have 2 of our own, but for me, it will always be 4. Their bio POS disappeared after suggestion from Judge and has never been heard from. Takes more than biology to be a parent.

I have done it three times and have helped raise 7 children in the 3 relationships,, all three cheated on me and its not the fact that they (mothers) are gone but they take the children away to and in most cases that hurt worse,, a few of that kids have since have gotten old enough to contact me and stay in touch but I have since pretty much given up on ever haveing a relationship,, one of the fathers even contacted me and thanked me for being so good and protecting his kids for 9 years,, that was so straight up for him to do that,, anyway if a man does this and actually loves the kids as if they are the woman should take her self off the market instead of using him as a temp father

Awesome song! Always brings the tears! I lost the man I called dad back in 2007. I have to admit that I gave this man hell throughout my teens. I constantly disrespected him. I wouldn't listen to him. He never faltered though and continued to treat me like I was biologically his. As we were standing in the church on my wedding day, he kissed my forehead, pulled my veil down, and told me I looked stunning. He held out his arm and said, "Are you ready?" All I said was, "Thank you for everything!" I will never forget his response. "You don't have to thank me! That's what daddies do!" ....but he didn't have to!

This is the song my oldest daughter had for father daughter dance at her wedding (never lied to her or her brother that I was not their biological father even though I was the only one they knew as Dad) I was the one who broke and cried like a baby because I had never heard that song before.

Anyone can be a "father", but it takes someone special to be a "daddy"

Call your step-dad and tell him how much he means to you. I promise that it will make his day. Great reaction!!❤

I danced with my dad at my wedding to this song. The fact we weren’t blood related never mattered to him. He met me when I was 2 years old and from that moment on he loved me unconditionally. He was so proud of being my kids grandpa, in his eyes they were the greatest anyone could have. He didn’t have to be the dad he was to me, but he CHOSE to be. This May it will be 4 years since he passed away from cancer. When I hear this song, the tears just fall from my eyes. I wrote him a letter and placed it in his casket with him. On it, I wrote “thank you for choosing me.” I miss him so much.

I’m happy to hear that your step pop stuck with you and was a part of your life. He is a good man.

I’m a step of 3 kids. They are adults now and now I’ve been blessed with 2 grandbabies to this point. They are my world.

"Date the family." I love that. Great reaction ❤️

My son was 12 when my 2nd husband came into my life. I'd made it clear that we were a package deal. My husband asked my son and my father fir my hand in marriage before he asked me. Then, both my daddy and my son gave me away at the wedding. My son has 4 kids now and he's a wonderful daddy. Much of that is due to the love and lessons my husband gave him. ❤

Sceez when I tell you the first time I heard this song I bawled my eyes out that’s no lie. I have an adopted son so this hits real close to home too.

"He wanted to date the family." The best comment I've heard from a reactor for this song. Wow, young man. Excellent! A+ Edit add-on: Hoping you're blessed with a wife and a mother for your daughter who "didn't have to be."

Shout out to all the step up parents ❤

My Dad stepped up, married my Mom, taking on my sister & I. When I hear this song I always cry because I was so blessed.

"It's a whole new world in there" 😂😂😂 I lost it! Great reaction❤

Truth spoken. My biodad is my brother's step-dad and even after he and my mom divorced, anything my dad did with me he did with my brother too. He stayed his dad. Then my stepmother and dad divorced and we still have a relationship to the point she invites me and my son to her new family's events and her mom still asks to hang out with my dad and my biomom. Luckily my son's dad is still in his life but if I ever get into another relationship the guy better understand what he's getting into because it seems our family is like a black hole... ain't no one escaping 😂. Shout out to all the people who can rise above and be there for the kids.

Maybe you should consider listening to this song with the man who stood with you! I think it might just make his day! :)

what a wonderful idea...I think you are right.

The smile on your face watching and listening to this song is absolutely precious Skeez

My dad met my mom when she was a young widow with 2 little kids. My dad was 21. The sitter fell through and my dad told my mom to bundle the kids up and they went to a drive in movie. Thy married and welcomed 3 more kids, me being the youngest. My dad always treated my oldest siblings as his own. My mom and dad were married 65 before mom passed 2 years ago. My dad is my hero!

When my dad met my stepmom right away she treated me like her daughter she never made me feel unwanted she opened and accepted me with open arms..god blessed me with not just one mom but two moms to love.. I have such a closeness with my stepmom she truly is an amazing person so this song really hits home for me.. I always cry when I hear this beautiful song..

My Dad came into my life when I was 8. It’s been 30 years and I’m grateful every day.

You are blessed. And I know you realize that. 😊

I was a step parent, we are divorced now, but my bonus daughter is still in my life, and love her and her kids❤

When i met my Dad (step) i was 4 and he used to tell everyone my first sentence to him didn't say hi, just told him i love you. I whispered it to him when i lost him and gave him a salute and watched my hero get buried. He was so amazing. When i came home to see him before my first of three deployments i heard him tell his friend this is my daughter shes Army but she will hirt you if you hurt me then he laighed. I so miss my Dad. He didnt have to love my brother and I but he did to the end.

My sister (half sister's) dad died from leukemia when she was 2. She's five years older than me. My dad would tell you really quick that he doesn't love me an ounce more than he loves her. He's a special man.

My father passed Christmas morning 1998. My stepmother, now 93, has remained in our lives to this day, even though we were adult children when he passed (my beloved mother had passed 2yrs earlier). I always call her my Wickedly Wonderful Stepmother🥰 My husband also took on the package deal that was me & my children 25+ years ago. It is noble indeed. Kudos to you as a Dad AND a son!! Elvie Shane: ‘My Boy’ for sure if you’ve not done it!!! Stay safe & love much💖

I met my stepdad at 14, mom married him at 16 and I lost him in 2010, he was the best outta all my stepdad. he was the only one I called Dad

I was a single dad of three kids. The moment I met my wife, she took my kids on as her own. I feel you. Keep up the great work

Great reaction young man. Nothing else to say!

Glad you got a stand up guy and enjoyed the song.Try Conway Twitty That's my job.

Your step dad sounds like a wonderful man 😊

I’ve heard this for 30 yrs almost.. and I still cry. This song is beautiful

I’m glad you were in there. She needed you and these are the moments you can never get back. You got to see just how strong your lady is. Labor is not easy.

Glad to hear about you bn a MAN & taking care of your daughter like a True & Real Man does AWESOME DUDE

9:00 - WOW, you had an incredible stepfather. I am so glad you are thankful for that relationship, and so glad a good man come into your life and made a difference so you can see how important you are to your children.

I''ve raised step children but always thought of them as my own... I love them so much.............I love that the man I'm with right now....has been a dad to my son (his dad had passed) I'm blessed

Ditto, brother. I was in the room when my wife gave birth to my son. Took some time to get over what he looked like when he came out. Thought the PTSD would last for months......but once he was cleaned up, and I saw how perfect he was......forgot all about the blood and goo that almost made me faint. Good reaction.

I have been the "step mom" in this situation. We weren't married though. My ex had 2 kids and I remember being so nervous to meet them. I stood on the other side of the wall and took a deep breath before I went in the other room to introduce myself. It ended up going really well. His son was maybe like 5 at the time and his daughter was 12. What's really sad and f*cked up is that he is no longer a part of his kids' lives. I am still in touch with his daughter and she actually invited me to her wedding this past September. I was UGLY CRYING when she showed me pics of her trying wedding dresses on!!! Just seeing her blossom into this beautiful young woman is such an honor. I love her so much! Makes me cry every time I think about it. I will always be there for her for the rest of my life, and she will always be that 12 year old girl I used to doll up for fun every time she came over. She said to me... "Its crazy that you're not even my biological parent and you're here for me and my own dad can't even be here and hasn't been for years." Breaks my heart for her, but her stepdad ended up adopting her as his own daughter. It was also extremely important for me to be on good terms with her mother. Her and I are also close. She told me she always had so much respect for me and I'm the onlu girlfriend of his that she liked and respected, because I reached out to her first and I would discuss things with her and not just go and do whatever. For example, her daughter wanted her hair cut for Christmas... I reached out to her mom and asked permission first because I didn't want to overstep my boundaries. Her mom said it was ok if I took her to a salon to get her hair done. Its little things like that, that go a long way. My ex HATED that I was friends with his daughter's mom. When I find my future husband, I'll be there and love his kids as if they were my own (if he has kids). I even plan on fostering/adopting in honor of my dad, who was adopted at the age of 2. I have so much love in my heart to give and there are lots of kids out there who just need love and somebody to be there. I wish I could take them all in so no child is left out. When I look to the future, I see my home as a safe place for all of our kids and their friends to come if they they got problems going on at home, they need a home cooked meal, someone to talk to, etc. How can I help? I grew up homeless on and off til I was 9 years old and there wasn't always food to eat and my brothers and I would have to ask a neighbor for food. Its because of the way I grew up that I feel so strongly about being that safe haven for any child.

Props to your step Dad Sceez!! I hope your at least half the Dad he didn't have to be ❤ (but the way you talk about your little munchkins.. I already can tell your a wonderful Dad)💓

Thanks for sharing and adding to the important message of this song, as well as the great reaction. Brad has some good videos out there from powerful to hilariously funny. Thanks

I raised my son by myself, but never met anyone who stepped up to the plate, but maybe I held them to a high standard because I had a great stepdad who treated me as his own

I totally understand. I have two boys and a step daughter from my first marriage. Even after our divorce she still to this day calls me mom. Now with my second marriage she calls my new husband dad. He has three children who love me. All six of them consider themselves brothers and sisters. It just shows that family is not always blood relations but the ones you choose as family.

My mum remarried when I was 8. He took me and brother as his, and it stayed that way until he died. RIP JOE

Great song and reaction!

I remember hearing this for the 1st time & crying like a baby! I was raised by a step-father but make no mistake, he may not have been my father but he was my DAD! He passed away in 2020 but his legacy will live forever through MY boys that he was such a wonderful Pa-Paw to.❤

😅😅 happy tears for the lovely experience you've had with a WONDERFUL step Pops ❤❤❤

Such an amazing son. My parents adopted me when I was 2. So I feel this way about both my mom and dad. Great reaction bro!

I come from a non broken home and have a non broken family of my own, this song still wrecks me.

My stepmom CHOSE 4 of us! She and Dad were together for a few years before they got married. Dad got us at the end of May and they got married in mid-July. My younger brother was 5, I was 7, my older brother was 10, and my older sister was 12. They got married 2 weeks after she turned 25.

My son isn’t biologically mine but there not a person in this world that can tell me he isn’t my son took two years of court battles to fight for my rights to him and there nottin the fills my heart more then hear him say dad or when after a shift change and been a few days with out seeing him he threw everything down and screams dad and run give me the biggest hug

I was lucky as you were to have a great stepdad, and I too was included in everything. When I grew up I married my husband and his kids. From then on I was Mom to them and I tried to be good at basketball, but at 5'1" I think they had more fun without me. I played video games with them too. We would deal with our stress with Mario kart. I miss those days a lot. We are all still close. Until last year the five of us lived in a 1 mile radius of my new another. I am a very blessed Mom!!!!

I appreciate your honest emotions. Like you i was in the delivery room and its a amazing moment watching your child being born but yes seeing what your woman can take and then you realize you cant match that 😂. Seriously loved your true emotions and your personal stories. I have no doubt daddys girl is well loved. Toodles

You're blessed

New sub here. I just finished watching three of your reactions in a row and all of them have been super emotional songs. Keep doing what you're doing.

I am a daughter of a single mom. My adoptive father was the greatest dad he didn’t have to be.

😁😁😁😁he cracks me up..."the visuals bro......tha stomach"🥴🥴🥴

I saw your reaction to Kelly clarkston’s “ piece by piece “, I knew you needed to hear this. My second husband was my kid’s dad and their biological was referred to as Father. Unfortunately, when our crew was (21, 20, 18, 14, and 8) he was killed, and this was their choice for his funeral.

Loved ur reaction fam... ive known this song for years, but here i sit 😭, very sweet ❤️‍🔥

I’m a new subscriber…I enjoyed your reaction. I loved the things you spoke about…you’re a good guy…I can tell 😊👍👍

This song makes me cry every time this is really the story of my dad. He’s my biological dad, but he raised seven kids. Four of them are not his from two different marriages. He’s an absolutely amazing man.

Sounds like Both you and your Step are blessed!!! Continue the process Kids are the Gifts

You need to make sure that your dad knows how you feel.

I'm not a single parent, I'm an only parent. I became a widow ten years ago & have been raising my kids alone ever since. I've never even had a single date for a decade. I haven't felt the need to bring an outsider into my family.

Brad's great. I'm Gonna Miss Her and When I Get Where I'm Going featuring Dolly Parton are 2 more great songs and videos by him

Love this song ✌❤🎶

You and me, the same, love your reaction. Mine was at 7 years old.

Such a genuine reaction. Thank you for sharing your story. Appreciate you.

At least a man stood up to be a father to that boy. There are too many baby momma’s out there. A child needs an example from a mother and a father to many kids end up finding leadership on the street because they gave a direction, wrong direction but a direction

Songs like this…have meaning and hit home… thank you for including this wonderful “story” ♥♥♥

So funny, a great memory for you

I lost the man I called Dad in 2015. He and Mom met when I was 11. Their first date included me and my sister.

The coolest thing about being a stepparent is I got to pick my kids and in-laws. I got the best of both.

My husband stepped up and took in 3 kids he didnt father. But they call him dad ❤

Brother, to this dy my previous “step son” calls me his “step dad”. I’m always there for him. But I can’t be in his life. When his Union produces my grand children, because of religion, I won’t be allowed in their live

Send him this song. Just don't be in the room when he first listens to it. Seein your pops cry is just awkward for both parties...

You should react to Elvie Shane- My boy

U gonna go cry after this huh? LoL....me TOO babe!! It's ok!!!

Brothr, still fighting for my oldest. They want to kick him off of his earned va benefits. Except his tiger mom and 12b step dad is aaaaaalllllll over it.Prais God! Here’s to prayer for those powerlesss THAT ARE HEROS BUTTREted like baggage

Am I the only one who thinks his stepdad looks like Lee Majors!?!? Lol 😳

Time to lock something good down Sceez.

Check out Brad Paisley Letter to Me

My daughter is older.. late 30's and she's with a guy who is divorced with a daughter.. One of the issues she has is that she always feels second to his daughter.. and that's understandable.. but the ex wife is also in the picture, which makes my daughter always feel last on the list. So.. my advice to you is 1st find a woman who does want to be your wife and want to be stepmother.. but your job is to make sure whoever you choose that they feel valued and not second class in the family. Kids are devious.. They will play parents against each other.. they will manipulate.. they aren't being bad.. they are just emotional little folks, so make sure adults are all on the same page. Just my grandma's advice since I can tell your daughter is the most important person in your life.

You play daddy unless things work out that why people avoid single mom and dads cause the risk of getting attached and if failing is not worth it

Left out is bad but responsible is worse.

you talk too much
