    I was 17 when I found out I was going to be a father.. She was born 2 months after my 18th birthday... And when she was 9 months old I was a single father but I did it... My daughter is now 35 with a master's in Psychology and just blessed me with a grandson last week...

    At 56 my life changed when a little girl was born to my son and his girlfriend. Neither of the two parents were responsible then, nor now, and capable of taking care of her. She just turned 7, and this past March the adoption was completed, and she is ours. Yes, my retirement plans have changed, my entire life has changed, and just now my little girl came and asked for help only moments ago - while I was writing this tribute to her. Yes, she changed my life and every day I struggle to do my best to give her the childhood she deserves; my little gift from God.

    As a woman who's husband left during my high risk pregnancy, I commend all these great fathers who stepped into parenting, scared as hell but did whatever they needed to do. Being a single parent isn't easy but the rewards are endless.
    My daughter just graduated from medical school, has the best husband & I couldn't be more proud. As parents we all want is the best for our children.

She's the whole world in one little precious life. I've learned more about myself, the world and my place in it in the last 4 and a half years then I would have learned in 1000 lives otherwise. Sometimes now I wonder if the people if always say should not have kids actually should. It just may be the only thing that saves them. God bless

Yes, my daughter’s Honda was loaded down with tons of clothes, shoes & my American Express. After she was completely settled in, I gave her a big hug, told her how much her mother & I loved her & I walked down to my truck where I cried. This song always hits home with me.

    The truth is singers would be nothing without the incredible songs of the great songwriters. I can't tell you how many songs have been sung that are forgetful as soon as the song is over no matter how incredibly well sung as opposed to just an average singer singing an incredible song that sticks with you the rest of the day and you're humming it everywhere you go. Then of course those rare times where incredible singers get paired up with incredible songs....which is what turns singers into superstars.

    By the time I was 26 yrs old (1996) I finally got my boy. He was the youngest, with 3 older sisters. My wife and I started young too. My son was murdered in March of 2014. Please always let your youngins know you love them by saying you love them and showing a little compassion. My last words to my son was "I love ya and I'll see ya when I see ya". I could go into the whole thing which wasn't bad. Point being is tell all your loved ones you love them and talk with them. try to gain some wisdom from the older folks.

    This has me balling right now brotha. I remember when this song came out. I was 21 and had just been kicked out of Virginia Military Institute my senior year. I’m from Richmond, VA and some friends of mine had decided we were going to move to Orlando or San Diego. Next thing I know, my daughters mother is pregnant. My life had done a total 180. All my hopes and aspirations for life were gone in a span of 6 months. This song tugged at my heart 18 years ago.
    Wound up raising my daughter on my own for the most part. Those days of her dragging that teddy bear flew by way too fast. She is now 18 and went to visit Denver two months ago. She’ll be back soon to pack the rest of her stuff to go “Hang out on the west coast. “
    This song has come full circle for me and I’ve lived every verse. Thank you Mr. Mobley for writing such a bittersweet heartfelt song. It has meant more than you will ever know to me. God bless!
    And he cried
    "There goes my life
    There goes my future, my everything
    I love you, Baby, goodbye"
    I love you Isabella!!

    While Wendell is an AMAZING artist and songwriter. I think the reason Kenny is the man for the song is that he can deliver songs like this to the world. Kenny has the ability and the platform to sing/play just about any country/rock song. They are both such talented musicians.

Ended up not only doing a good job but also she ended up being my entire world. Two years ago ended up becoming addicted to opiates, my dad took her from me right from under my feet. Been sober for a year and two months, however he has yet to give her back or even give me the time of the day. Breaks my heart beyond words

Kenney, clearly a perfect candidate. I can name dozens of amazing writers who never wanted that fame. Those are the real music heroes. The writers.

    First time I ever went to nashville , I met Wendell in a bar after an awards show. I remember that I didn't fit in with the crowd as I was wearing tattered jeans and button down shirt that was untucked. Everyone else was dressed to the nines in finding Wendell. However I struck up a conversation with him and he bought me a beer. I noticed he had an award ,but didn't ask what it was for, only later did I find out that he had written this song and had won the award for writing it. Still one of the best songs Kenny ever recorded.

    I wanted to be a Dad so bad my whole life & would tear up during this song just at the THOUGHT of being able to love a little girl so much. FINALLY, at age 56 in March of '23, my wife & I adopted a sibling set of 2 boys & 1 girl. I obviously love them all, but my daughter & I have an incredible bond, and I love her more than I thought possible. NOW this song takes on a new meaning to me and will no doubt have me weeping uncontrollably the day she leaves the house.

      Never had any kids, but every time I hear that line I’m reminded of an old tough biker dude whose wife rode off & left him with a baby boy. Shortly afterwards, he married a woman with a young child, & the artwork overflowed on the refrigerator. He said, “We’re gonna have to get a bigger refrigerator!”. That was so out of character for him, it made me smile. Unfortunately, his son passed away a hero, 13 years later, fighting a fire.

Most people would have considered this to be a life altering mistake and you made it it out to be a good thin. I admire your actions and the way you made lemonade out of sour lemons. I truly admire you and wish I as well as most people had the follow through to make something fod out of something that most people would consider terrible.

We thought our life was over. Life was great raising her then she found drugs and our lives changed drastically for the worse. I remember thinking be thankful there are no children. Then 2 beautiful little girls came. My daughter who I love unconditionally... could not overcome the drugs and lost custody of those girls to us. I remember thinking I can NOT do this again, I am to OLD (really I am not) and thinking their goes my life.

Kids were our dreams, started with our daughter obviuosly then out son. Lots of heart brakes in between the two....we were so happy to have our son, unfortunately, we couldn't have any more after my son...The up all nights and diapers never change no matter they age you have you kids......I love them and my wife so much...My daughter and I are not that close anymore because of someting I did when she was in high school when I could not confirm where she was. She is still mad at me. She will know why I did what I did when she has kids, I will be dead and gone by the then most likely. Still, this is a favorite of mine, I love it, always reminds of her and makes me love them more everytime I hear it

I actually thought about bailing on her just when she needed me most but I knew I had to stay; knew I wanted to stay. I had lived a great single life; gone all over the world, spent money like I printed it and never once thought about what my life would be like with children. Now, I cannot imagine my life without our daughters and grandson.
