My father passed about 4 years ago… he was a consummate joker, and often said that the last joke he would ever play on me would be the most cruel. That joke was turning me into the older generation. I can picture him laughing at his last “gotcha” moment. It was indeed cruel, but he taught me well how to wear those shoes and walk that path. RIP to all those fathers whose guiding hands shaped us, and prepared us to make the world a better place.
I lost my dad 17 years ago tomorrow. March 15th is never a day I look forward to. That wound never truly heals all the way. A song will come on or a good smell of after shave or some sort of food. Or when I use his tools. That sit right next to mine. It hits me and those memories come flooding back. I can say from experience time does help, but it will never heal 100%. Especially if you have a father that was always there for you. He would help me fix my truck and fix my heart when the were broken down. I kept his phone on for years after he passed. So I could call it and here his voice. Idk why but it helped. I will see him again. It's bittersweet but it helps. Hang in there Cody. Keep up the good work. Keep making videos and letting that light shine...
My dad passed two weeks ago! I’ve never experienced this emptiness and missing someone like this before! Greatest gift God ever gave me! Love you dad🕊️💔❤️
I'm with you all. Been through many tragic deaths of all types, but when I lost my Dad, my best friend last August that emptiness was completely unfamiliar. Be good to yourselves, gear up for the grief storms, and talk to your Dad 💚💚💚
When my dad passed I also had the feeling that the last person I knew for certain could help me in ANY situation was gone. I lost my back up. I still feel this way and its been three years already.
I lost my father a few months ago, and he will always be with us. He will always come to us. Tell us the right thing to do never lose the faith. Our fathers love us more than we can comprehend.
@@rileyelvrom765 i really needed to hear that rn. i lost my dad to a heart attack earlier this year on the morning of my 19th birthday. he texted me the night before telling me how proud he was of the woman i’ve become and how he’s always thought of me as more of a best friend than a daughter. and to always remember the good times. it always feels like i lost a bestfriend and a dad at the same time. it kills me everyday to think that he won’t get to see me get married or have children one day. i don’t know if he felt death was coming, but i’m so thankful i have that text. i know i’ll always miss him dearly. To anybody who has lost a parent: i know it may not seem like it, but it does get easier as life goes on. you just have to remember the good times.
I still miss my dad his friendship his cooking his jokes it’s been 8 years and my wife just died last year at 53 if there’s beer in heaven they are up there drinking and laughing at me for being stuck here miserable death is not the worst thing that can happen It’ worse for the loved ones
My dad just passed this Saturday and the main emotions I’m feeling right now is sadness and regret. I regret not spending more time with him and not telling him how much I loved and how much I appreciated everything he had done for me. He was a tough man but I know that he did everything he did out of love. He was trying to make me a better man. If you are lucky enough to be able to still spend time with your dad, please make the most of it. Don’t waste a minute of it because you can’t get the time that you’ve lost back
That is my regret too. I had the habit of thinking I had more time. "Oh I'll visit next Saturday" Then Saturday comes and I'll be like "eh, I'll visit next week, I don't feel like going anywhere today" and it kept going and going. I kept putting it off. You know that song, Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin? (If you've been around long enough, you've probably heard it before, at least in a movie or something). It's exactly like that. :(
Same. I have regrets of not visiting him enough and not spending more time with him. Breaks my heart. I wish I could tell him all the things you mentioned 💔💔
You really don't know how to deal with things, all those problems pile up and one day fall at you with a great force and break you within. It's hard, isn't it? 😣
My father died less then 2 weeks before my 5th birthday I’m now 23 and still struggle without him, my mum is the best mother I could ask for but I’ll always be missing that part of me & I’m not 100% sure how to be a man
My dad died 12 years ago when I was 14. Got through it for awhile but as I’ve grown up it’s become pretty apparent that I still havent fully healed as well. So sorry for your loss, it’s not an easy battle. It’s always helped me to think that he’s still living on through me and my siblings. Hope that you can find that helpful in some way too.
My father passed 2 weeks ago😢 I’m still trying to fathom not having him around anymore or even being able to call on him, hug him when I need him 😩 the hardest feelings I’ve ever had to feel. I was his baby girl I’m about to have to have my 28th birthday and he won’t be here 😞 he always came through,loved me and my family. Spoiled all of us on every occasion 😞 he was so smart, loving ,caring, very good family man also a good singer and such a good jokester…I will miss having beers with him and him singing me George strait 😞 I could always turn to him if I needed help and he was there in a heartbeat. he was only 55 when he passed. 😢 RIP daddy Arthur (King Art) ❤ I’ll never be the same without you dad 💔☹️
@@fitzlcn8506 It was during the second year, after I had gone through all the holidays once. I noticed less pain during that 2nd Christmas without him and more remembering him at that time.
I just lost my dad two days ago and the pain is so hard. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad but i can't see a future at the moment. I'm 42, he was 73. I'm very grateful for the time we had together. My mum is destroyed
I lost my father today unexpectedly. He was 74. He was such a GOOD man.He went to sleep and never woke up. I will miss his quiet influence forever. I love you Dad. ❤
My father to just passed, he went to sleep and never woke up he was 64. I still don't know whether to cry or punch a wall. When he was alive I called him a wash women always talking to people. He would always visit people in the hospital. I realize now he was a good person and people loved him. I love him but it was always difficult to say that or hug because I guess some men understand where I'm coming from. I love him and miss him. My whole life i dreaded this day when I thought about it and now it's reality. I just hope he knew I loved him dearly.
When my father passed, it was the biggest grief and relief I've ever had to face. I miss him so much, but I am relieved that he is no longer suffering. It changed my life and priorities and those changes have stuck with me. I still laugh and cry when I think of him and I do (and miss) him everyday.
I’m 71. I lost my dad when I was just 20. He was only 46. Fifty one years later, I still miss him. There are days I wish I could call him…just to talk. He was a great man. Hold on to those e-mails for a while. They just may bring comfort on a difficult day.
Do you have any ideas on how I could fix my insecure father? He is 57 and is generally unpleasant to be around. He complains about everything and has zero intentions of working towards bettering his complaints. What do I do?
Hey I know this is old comment but I just last my dad and he was 46 as well and I’m only 22. I feel like I lost my best friend, he was the best father I could have ever asked for and was really hard on me but I know he was preparing me for this cruel world. Any advice?
@@JoshuaWood-n3xlive life for him and FOR him. do everything to make him proud and do things he liked to do since he can’t. that’s what i’m trying to do.
@@LoriLynch-b4fu can’t do anything. My dad was the same way. He died Tuesday after 18 months of advocating against corrupt hospitals, I watched him take his last breath. Advice, take him in small doses in a controlled environment like a restaurant or something and keep boundaries . Dismiss his negativity by turning it into a joke. I’m sure he has good qualities too. My dad was the funniest person I ever met. He said I love you son and then acted like he didn’t know who I was five seconds later ( on his death bed) lol I’ll always remember that.
My dad passed today at 10:11, wanted to show him that med school acceptance, wanted to show him in my army uniform. Wanted to see him hand his daughter to his bride at her wedding. All of that gone, that is my regret. Other than that I was with him from the time of his cancer dx, its progression, took him to all the appointment, surgeries, got my last word with him, even recorded it. On that front, I have no regret.
I lost my dad about 2 months ago. This past Saturday was his funeral service. It is beyond the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. I don’t know if I will ever get over it. He is the greatest person I have ever known.
You don't get over the pain. You learn to live with it. My father died back in Feb 2023 while I was at work on a volunteer weekend. I still question whether or not I should've worked that day.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 4 years ago. I miss him all the time and its hard not talking to him but the pain does get easier. I pretended he left to go home, to the UK for an extended trip not knowing when he would come back. That some how made it easier, to pretend. Anyway, for everyone who has lost someone, especially lately, my deepest condolences and I hope you can appreciate the time you had with that loved one some day. You will get through this
Knowing my dad will eventually pass. Hopefully i made him proud enough. I'm thankful for what he's done for me. Life is short and every bit of mine has been through sheer care of my parents.
I’m 36 and lost my Grandfather last week. I spent most of my childhood helping him on his farm and learned a lot about becoming a man from him. I feel really lost. It was the hardest experience watching him die. I don’t think it has really set in that he’s gone forever yet. But I’m thankful for the 36 years I had with him.
I lost my grandad last month, 18th of February I’m 17 now and it’s tough. when I was 2 he was diagnosed with leukemia we had 15 good years with him where he was healthy so in that respect I feel I’m lucky .
I lost my dad 5 years ago Cody and I miss him every day. When my dad died a piece of me died. Seeing my hero laying on the floor while I did CPR is a image I will never be able to get out of my head no matter what I do. I would like to give you some sound advice but I have not been able to find it yet myself to pass along. Keep your head up is all I can say your dad and grandfather are still with you and will speak to you when you need them the most. You will see them again someday.
I lost my Dad 2/22/22 unexpectedly, he was 63 years old. It hasn’t set in yet for me either. I had to be the one to tell my mom the news. I try everyday to keep the spirits up of my mom and sister. That’s all you can do, is to live everyday trying to keep happiness and joy. Between that and going through a divorce I try to aspire to try and be like him. I truly miss him and I only hope to be at least half the man he was. My thoughts are with you and everyone here who has lost their Dad.
Man,that's what I always say. I wish I could be half the man my dad was. It hurts deep to know that no matter where on planet Earth I look,my dad is no more. I would do anything to see him again. I hope he has a place in Heaven so when I go,may God receive me too and we can rejoin in Heaven. I'm 35 and I will never stop missing my dad.
I lost my dad on 9 may 2024 he was only 51 yrs Within 1 month I lost my grandmother friend dad and fufa 😭💔😭 I don't know what to do now I am really depressed 😔 I lost all of them 💔😭 I really missing my father 😭😭😭💔
I lost my father today. Sept 10th 2024 73 years old Navy Vietnam Vet Aaron Maxwell Hopper I will love you forever, Dad. I will continue to make you proud
Lost my dad 5years ago, toughest day of my life. I had just become a dad myself three months before, there were so many things I would have wanted to ask or tell him. I still do. I have so much respect for, such a great person role model.
I feel your loss...I lost my mother last January to congestive heart failure and it's so hard! She was only 56 and was sick for 16 years. She got sick at 40 and that's the same age I am now. It just makes you think. I wasn't able to visit her in the hospital because of covid so she died alone and that's what weighs on me the most!
Those monsters who made people suffering and dying alone like old diseased street dogs will have to pay the price of their horrendous crime sooner or latter...
My Dad Passed a 3 months ago and the main emotion I'm feeling now sadness, regret. I regret not spending more time with him and not telling how much i love him how much i appreciated everything he had done for me. My father a Is A man who sacrifice his life enjoyes just for me and i can't give him something but i know he understands me how much i love him and how i am giving my best to proud him. My age now is 17 yr and i am in 12th class. I just want my father back but how i dont know but i feel his energy around me and feel he is with me. My father Struggle his whole life and i know his Struggle. And never forget his Struggle and make him proud one day i know he is seeing me from heaven i love my father , Miss You Pappa!
I just lost my dad a week and a half ago. I’ve cried so much I don’t feel very manly or strong. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. We are fortunate to have had good fathers that we loved and admired.
I miss my dad. He died two weeks ago, and he was the strongest man I've ever known. He died at 54 and I'm not sure why I'm commenting this, but I feel that others should know that he existed, and he was important to many people. To all the people who have lost their father's or anyone in general, I wish the best of luck to you going forwards. RIP dad, I love you more than I ever told you.
I lost my dad 10 years ago, he pushed me to achieve something and to this day all I want to do is call him. He had an amazing sense of humour and way with words. He was the glue that brought all our extended family together. Everything changes after the fact. I deleted voicemail the morning before I got the phonecall. I wish I could just listen to him say he loved me one last time. Forever greatful for him
I feel for you brother. Lost my dad 8 years ago. I still have my old phones with his text messages still on them. I can't let them go just yet. We never get over loosing a parent, we just get used to them being gone. God bless
My father has been gone 46 years. He was my Hero! He missed my whole adult life including 3 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren. I think about him everyday, and how huge an impact he made on me in the time we had together.
After the loss of my dad 7 years ago. When I feel the need to call him to this day. I found that I still talk to him out loud. Voicing it helps me feel that connection to him still. And that his spirit is listening to me from where ever it is. I believe it in a way call his spirit to be with me for that short while as I need him.
I lost my dad 6 months ago, still does not feel real, I don't think it gets easier nor do I particularly want it to, grief is the price we pay for love and its a price I would pay over and over. The love my dad showed me, the wisdom he shared with me, the lessons he taught me and the beautiful memories I have of him will be with me till my last moments. Wishing strength to all those who have lost a loved one. “My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”
I feel your pain a week ago today. My father passed away at age 77. I flew out of state to Pennsylvania to manage affairs and put my father to rest. I'm now lost both parents as a tear runs down my face it's going to take some time where all this to hit me. Mom's been going 20 years and I never seems to get easier each and every year the anniversary of her passing the pain is still surreal.
I’m with you Randy.. sorry you lost your father recently 😢 May God bring comfort to you and your family. May the Love of Jesus comfort you until the day of His coming!
Just buried my Dad today. I'm dead inside, I don't think things will ever be the same again. I wish I told him I miss him more, I love him more and how proud I am of him. I just want the world to end just to see him again. He was Christian and I hope He'll be waiting in the after life.
I understand exactly what u mean. Lost my pops November 4th. Still haven't smiled since he past. He died of cancer and I was by his side when he died, so I finally was able to tell him I love him and things I been wanting to tell him. I was the same as u, we weren't really open emotionally like that. Sorry for ur loss
My dad was too, a Christian. And so am I. Losing him put me in a hard and dark place, that I still struggle with to some degree every day, and its been almost three years. Do everything that you can to make sure that you go to heaven, too. Jesus loves you. And I know exactly how you are feeling. When you wrote that you are dead inside, that really got to me. God bless you. . .
@@jman3254 My father was a christian on the missionary field. He died 3 days ago. I am a christian. I feel like the world feels emptier. I have lost a lot of interest in things i used to enjoy.
I am so sorry that you lost your father. The overwhelming emptiness that I experienced with losing my dad was almost unbearable. It nearly took me down. When my dad died, it was like I had to learn to live without oxygen, he was just that important to me. He and I lived together in the same house all of my life. He was my hero, and an ever present essential element to my world. And I am sure that you will find yourself again, but it will take time. I still don't feel like the world is right anymore, to a degree, after nearly three years without him. It feels like someone played a dirty trick on me. And I know where my dad is, and that he is better off than any of us down here on this earth, and that's the crazy part, because the truth about someone being in heaven should give us comfort. But when you're a person who has an intertwined connection with a loved one, and you feel the love deeply, you also feel the pain deeply. God bless you Jack. I will pray that God helps you cope with the loss, and that He heals your broken heart.
I lost my Dad back in 2014, I was in my early 20s. I just bought my first house that had a lot of hidden issues, and not having him has been the hardest part. Best advice I got was to write down the stories he told. So long as you share them he will be alive in you. Peace be with you.
Was 16 when my father passed away. Growing up without him was hard. God bless my mother who tried her hardest to fill that role and negotiate life raising two kids own her own.
I'm 37 my dad just passed on March 8th... definite life changer. We would always do yard work together and while he was in hospice care in home all I could do was share pictures of the projects I had accomplished. I could tell he was happy that the homestead was being cared for and in good hands but saddened by the fact he was not with me. To all who have lost their father's always remember the great impact they had on our upbringing and remember we honor them by doing the good they taught us. Much love and condolences to everyone.
I lost my father almost 3 years ago now and I haven't been the same since. It really is true what they say the pain never goes away you just learn to live with it. Stay strong and hold all of the good memories close. Keep doing what makes you happy and celebrate all of the the time and memories you have shared with him over the years, that's how your father would have wanted it.
I ended up losing my dad about a week after this video and comment was posted. And because I was my father’s caretaker I then lost my job because of that. I then lost my brother in law in early may. So I understand more with this video. What Cody posted in this video happens to me a lot lately.
@@davidhandke6077I am reading this comment in Nov 2023 and I hope you are doing okay. I lost my father earlier this year and I want you to know you aren’t alone
My dad passed away on April 28th, 2021. My life has not been the same since. The pain is enormous. I miss him tremendously and just wish I was able to hug him again.
Almost a year since my father passed. I still think about him everyday. I've come to realize this. The pain of losing my father will be with me always. It does not get easier. You learn to live with it. I only hope I can prepare my children for the world as well as he prepared me.
I feel your pain. My dad past month ago, 4 months after my mom. I miss them both terribly. I always called my parents for advice and sometime I still catch myself saying " I need to call and ask" then it sets in that I can't. Keep on keeping on.
Had a hard time with this. My dad passed in January with covid. Found myself in tears when I was calling to get advice with my boys. Took me a second to think he wasn't there to answer the phone. Thanks for sharing this. In my small group we discuss being able to let ourselves vulnerable. In doing so we are able to help each other in times like this. I used to think being vulnerable was a weakness. As I get older I have found that it takes strength to be so. In doing so we are able to help coach someone through hard times or being able to walk through those times together. It about letting God use each of our stories to further strengthen each other.
It’s really tough man, I lost my father this year July to cardiac arrest. I feel so helpless that I couldn’t save him, he was a great soul. He was very close to me, sometimes life is unfair and that is the nature of life we must accept 😢. Love you father to eternity ❤
Lately, I've been voice recording nearly every conversation I have with my dad and my mom (I don't tell them as I want a genuine interaction), who are both in their late 70s. I really should have done this years ago...but at least my library of our conversations is slowly growing. I'll always treasure these recordings and my time with them.
Absolutely powerful video, my dads still alive but I know his days are numbered, he’s the most influential person in my life and this video motivated me to finally let me truly show my love and appreciation for him. Thank you Mr. Wranglerstar
Thank you for your video and for sharing your thoughts about your father. My dad passed away 42 years ago at age 56 and I still miss him. A lot. I guess that sounds weird to some but so many things come up in my life that I wish I could talk to him about. Things you don't plan for or think about until they happen. He always was there for us and always, always, had good advice. My mom used to call him The Rock because we could always count on him to be strong.
I feel your pain man. I lost my Dad on August 12, 2019. It still hurts and I still miss him. I'm right there with you on calling Dad when something good happened. I run a used Camaro/Firebird parts business and my Dad always liked it when I would call him after picking up a car. To let him know I'm safe and to tell him about the car. A couple weeks after he passed, I went to pick up an 80's camaro and after it was loaded on the trailer without thinking I picked up the phone and called my Dad. After I realized he's no longer there to answer that call, I freaking lost it. It's a very hard thing to go through, but as you said we all have to deal with that lose. It's a 'new chapter' of life without one's father. Try the best you can to hornor Dad's memory and not let him be forgotten with time. Godspeed my friend
I just lost my father yesterday and the words being said here suddenly feel extremely relatable and understandable. I could've done way more, even in those last moments, but I just failed. I failed myself and my father, this is the weight I'll carry on my shoulders for the rest of my stay in this world.
I just lost my last grandparent, my grandfather, yesterday morning. youve been an inspiration to me over the last several years, as ive transitioned to a fully off grid lifestyle and youve been instrumental to that. this video means alot to me, reminds me that its ok to feel lost sometimes. Thank you W. God bless you and keep you.
I missed my father terribly the first year he was gone. I felt a part of me had died. I remember hugging a pair of his boots to my chest and just sobbing, willing to give everything I had for just one more hour with him. That was 34 years ago and the longing for just one more hour is still there. And I still miss him just as bad as I did that first year. It does get easier but the grief never stops. The grief is a testament and reminder of the love. But I’ll see him again and each day that passes is another day closer!
I lost my father 2 days after my daughter was born 2 years ago not easy but I have learned that I have a father in heaven that loves me and is always there no matter how the day went... he loves all of us thank you for being 100% honest and raw your loved keep your eyes turned tord Jesus
My father just passed a week ago. This is a comforting reminder that we all go through this. I shared this on FB. Your words express exactly what I feel and can't express right now. Thank you for sharing. I love you and your dad. These words have been given to me in my absence. Thank you
I lost my dad 4 years ago. Covid took him from me. I miss him dearly, even though we had a lot of unresolved issues, I miss him every single day. I hope he knew that, even though we didn't have the perfect father-son relationship, I loved him and still do.
Lost my dad last november from adverse reaction... Thanks for all you have shared with us and what you will continue to share. Always keep you and yours in my prayers, Cody.
My father passed away today at 51 age and he diagnosis of diabetes and all he has said to my is very memorable for remember but it's the hardest to say goodbye you are the best for family,spent all time for families and everything for family i very missed you dad. You are my real superhero in my life thank you for your did. 😭😭😭😭😭
This is what scares me more than anything in life. Losing my Parents and the ones I love. My Mother is 75 and my Father is 83. I know in life it happens, but it is hard.
Cody, I feel for you. Ten years since my dad passed. Everything you said is true. What has been so great to see is I'm more like my dad than I realized as my daughter is about to get married and she calls me when she needs those things. Paying it forward from my dad. No hurry to let go and delete contacts, etc. You'll know when it's time if it ever is. At some point seeing that number or saved emails will be something to smile about as you remember.
Exceptional blessing have been bestowed on men like us. To have had rock solid fathers to help us on lifes journey. A rare commodity for so many young troubled men in these wicked days. Keep the faith brother and fight the good fight. What a blessing you are to many,many thirsty souls.
I am 54 and just lost my Mother 2 weeks ago. She battled dimentia for nearly 2 years and I am so glad that she doesn't have to suffer anymore - what a horrible, horrible disease!!!! She spent the last 5 weeks of her life without eating a drop of food - she lived off of cranberry juice!!! To watch her go out that way was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. To think that you will never get to see or talk to your Mother ever again is a hard pill to swallow. Thanks for this video - I needed it.
My father passed away decades ago at the ripe old age of 54. Still miss his council and having him to discuss matters with. He was very ill for the last two years of his life and he slowly wasted away until he barely knew anyone. Yet, you are never easy to lose your parents or loved ones. I've come to an age where almost all of my parent's siblings and relatives have passed. It is hard to look back and realize all those folks that you spent your childhood with and have all those great memories are now gone. I still find myself thinking about something and wanting to ask one of my family about it. Then realize that they have passed on. Yet, I have sulus that I will one day see them again.
I lost my dad one week back on 19th Aug , 2024. I am unable to imagine my life without him and the pain is unbearable. He loved me so much and always wanted me to be happy. He was 63 yrs old passed away in sleep in home after 2 months of critical treatment of seizures. I miss his presence, calls ,voice. Now i feel empty and lifeless without him
I watched this with great sadness 3 days ago, knowing that my dad and friend was going to be passing on soon. Now, I am experiencing the reality of this sadness in real time. Thank you, Cody for sharing your personal loss at this moment of my tremendous loss. RIP, Dad
I lost my dad yesterday at 3:31 after a week on the ventilator. I’m lost confused and can’t keep my emotions in check I can’t stop thinking abt him n all the good memories we made. I js wish I could tell him I love him with him here one more time
Lost mine when I was 17... I'm 53 and still miss him terribly. At 16 I had just read the novel Dune and one passage hit me like a hammer as I faced my own loss. “There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune
Lost mine when I was 7. I’m 14 now, just about half my life without my father. It really does change the flow of life although my mother and father were apart about a year by then. But I have gotten used to it the best I can.
I was with my father when he passed. It was unexpected and sudden, because of that it shocked me to my soul. I had known, revered and loved this man my entire life. He was always there for me, and had experiences I always learned from when talking with him. He was my role model and my Dad. He and my Mom had dedicated their lives to raising me and my siblings. In a way the quickness of his passing was a blessing, no long drawn out diseases. But as I said the reality of someone that close to you being there, and then gone forever like a light being turned off was like a bolt of lightning through my being. It really brings with it a realization of the finality of death in this world, though I hope to see him and my loved ones in the hereafter. I miss him to this day, many years later.
My papaw/adopted dad passed away on feb/29/2024 because of course he chose a leap year, always a troublemaker. at 78 and im 24. i miss him so much , thank you for the video
My thoughts are with you Cody. Over the past few years you guided Jack into a strong man like your father did for you, and his for him. Not only have you taught Jack but a lot of the young men who have watched you over the years. You taught me how to sharpen axes and attach handles. Taking care of my tools and the pride that a man should feel when his tools are in well order. The importance of providing for those around me. The list goes on, while knowing it or not you've lead some of us boys in the same direction that your father and grandfather intended for you. Honestly with a tear in my eye after writing this, thank you and thank you to the men who lead you. Their lessons will be remembered and continued to be passed through generations, part of them will always continue on.
I feel ya Cody! Lost my pop 3 weeks ago. We weren't as close as you and your father, but I still ache knowing my earthly father has moved on. Thankfully as believers, we know we'll see our loved ones again. The pain is still there, but there's hope for eternity. Thank you for all that you do! You have filled that spot of an older wiser brother for me as I have passed thru the phases in life and I always appreciate your viewpoint on this crazy world of ours! Praying for you brother. Keep on keeping on!
Lost my Dad April 4th 2023. It's very fresh. He was a great man. Heres to all the fathers that make the next generation a better generation than they left it.
Stumbled across channel trying to learn about chainsaw safety and saw this. Been 9 years here and your words echo what I feel still. We were blessed to have such influences. Looking at date this maybe 1st Christmas without him for you and just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas. I’m sure your dad will be there with you just like mine will be with me. God bless you and your family.
What a heart felt video - I am truly sorry you have lost your Dad. My Dad is 82 years and I have the same sentiments about him as you described about your Dad. Thanks for the reminder - I am calling Dad tonight.
I've been walking this path for almost four years now, and even with our strained relationship (for most of my 45 years that I knew him) it was still very hard, and continues to be so even now. I console myself with some of the lessons he taught me about building/fixing/repairing things, and to take some pride in your work, no matter what it is you're doing. Important things that you only really appreciate as you get older.
I was 22 when my dad passed, 13 years ago. I feel your pain. I still have his phone number in my phone. It becomes a new reality. Changed my life forever, for the better. Gave myself 100% over to God, largely because of the example my dad left me. I am forever immensely proud of the man he was.
I was also 22. My dads funeral was the same day as my birthday. Then mam died less than 2 years later but Jesus Christ got me through. Sorry for ur loss but we will meet them again. God bless
Im 22 at the moment and my dad died 2 days ago of what is believed to be a massive heart attack . It feels like there is a hole in my heart and i know that only the Lord Jesus Christ can get me through this . As many have said ,it's terrible because its so "final" and hurts to think that i won't see or talk to him over the phone again . Honestly happened at the worst time in my life as well seeing as my current situation and future isn't looking too good right now but i have faith and hope . It breaks me because i really still needed him and his help ,especially at this time . Wishing you guys well
@@JMar135 I'm sorry to here that JM. The first days and years are brutal. You are not alone and many have been through what you are going through. We all made it through and so will you. These are the days, months, and years that will shape the rest of your life. How you respond to this, the decisions you make, the conclusions you come to, will all massively effect your future. My advice, is to make your mind up quickly about what you truly believe to be truth. Nothing is impossible with God your real father. He has all the wisdom, knowledge and advice you actually need. The Holy Spirit will guide you and connect you to your true source of life and purpose. Find your purpose in life by asking the Holy Spirit to dig deep and reveal your potential to you. One day you will look back and have the story of overcoming these difficulties and you will have the satisfaction knowing you stayed faithful to God, and He promises to care for those who are faithful to Him. Take care of yourself my friend. If at all possible, get away for a few days to a peaceful place in nature and don't be afraid to grieve. You will grieve for years to come but it's healthy and a testament to your dad's impact on your life. Use this as a lesson for the preciousness of life, and what impact are you leaving in your time here on earth. Take care
My dad passed coming up on 3yrs ago unexpectedly and your right. Any big thing or success I had in my life, he was the first I’d call and it is a great loss not to be able to make that call. Miss him every day and still have dreams about him. Losing a great and loving dad/parent is a huge thing in anyone’s life. I’ve watched this video many times over the last 2 yrs to try and process it, it’s helped no end. Thankyou my man, I appreciate you sharing your experience with your grief ❤️
I lost my dad in 1992. I wrote this for him after he passed. I hope it helps. My Father, My Friend You were taken to life eternal To a place much better than here Now you can watch and protect us And we will always know that you’re near I know you’re here when the sun shines When the gentle rain falls to the ground My life goes on with a smile Because I know you’re always around Can you hear me say I love you You were so very important to me I can still feel you walking beside me Feeling as proud as a man can be You haven’t gone away forever For some day I’ll be with you again You were the man who gave me my life You were my father and my friend
We lost my dad in April of 2018, I think about him daily. I was fortunate enough to bring back some of his ashes with me that I made a small urn for, it sits in my workshop with his picture so he’s always there with me. When confronted with a problem I often think “What would dad do…?”. God bless Cody. Stu.
I'm glad I came across this old video of yours, big fan of everything you do. Lost my dad about a month ago, two days before my 39th birthday. I had been his caregiver for the past couple years.... I just idk I'm supposed to be a grown man and I'm capable of living my life and making good decisions, but I lost my best friend, my greatest supporter and my greatest teacher. If your father is still alive for you in the comment section... realize how blessed you are ❤
My father passed away in February. Years before his death we talked about his father which had passed before my birth. I asked him what it like for him being gone. He said that almost everyday he just wanted to ask him a question so to make the best decision. I completely understand now dad. I miss you so much. Promise to do my best and stay true to my word. Love you POP....
Hey man, I don’t know your family situation obviously, and don’t particularly giving advice to people who don’t ask for it, but I would say slowly reach out. Maybe wish a happy birthday, or just get a small ice breaker in, a foot in the door, you know? I’m typing this thinking of my father and how much I miss him. I hope you will be able to mend some sort of relationship because if you do, I’m sure you’ll be grateful. Ofcourse I don’t know the details of your estrangement, but that’s just my take. Anyway, take care.
My dad died at 47 2 days ago. Trying to cope. He was one of the closest people in my life and my only parent. I hope I can be as good of a dad as he was.
I am 22 years old, and my Dad passed away on December 27th of 2022. I miss him so much every day. He influenced me in so many areas in my life. My Love for Formula 1, comes from him. Me learning Guitar right now, is in Honor of him, he played Guitar for Decades. My Love for Rock and Country Music comes from him. I miss him.
I lost my father 9 days after my 15th birthday. I'm almost 22 now and it still hits hard. He was my hero, now i have to be strong for everyone because i was his only son and the oldest but it gets hard sometimes cos i need someone too. Damn
My father passed about 4 years ago… he was a consummate joker, and often said that the last joke he would ever play on me would be the most cruel. That joke was turning me into the older generation. I can picture him laughing at his last “gotcha” moment. It was indeed cruel, but he taught me well how to wear those shoes and walk that path. RIP to all those fathers whose guiding hands shaped us, and prepared us to make the world a better place.
This is relatable
Love your channel lpl ... bless yah dude
Rest In Peace to all our lost ones.
I lost my dad 17 years ago tomorrow. March 15th is never a day I look forward to. That wound never truly heals all the way. A song will come on or a good smell of after shave or some sort of food. Or when I use his tools. That sit right next to mine. It hits me and those memories come flooding back. I can say from experience time does help, but it will never heal 100%. Especially if you have a father that was always there for you. He would help me fix my truck and fix my heart when the were broken down. I kept his phone on for years after he passed. So I could call it and here his voice. Idk why but it helped. I will see him again. It's bittersweet but it helps. Hang in there Cody. Keep up the good work. Keep making videos and letting that light shine...
Love your channel and love to see the RUclipsr community together.
My dad passed two weeks ago! I’ve never experienced this emptiness and missing someone like this before! Greatest gift God ever gave me! Love you dad🕊️💔❤️
sending hugs!!!
I lost my dad too 2 weeks ago bruh
I'm with you all. Been through many tragic deaths of all types, but when I lost my Dad, my best friend last August that emptiness was completely unfamiliar. Be good to yourselves, gear up for the grief storms, and talk to your Dad 💚💚💚
Lost mine March 20th.. 😢
@@Cruisinedits24how sick can u be to add 'bruh' in that sentence mate
When my dad passed I also had the feeling that the last person I knew for certain could help me in ANY situation was gone. I lost my back up. I still feel this way and its been three years already.
I lost my father a few months ago, and he will always be with us. He will always come to us. Tell us the right thing to do never lose the faith. Our fathers love us more than we can comprehend.
oh my... I lost him yesterday and he was just 75..I think that is a little too early.
@@rileyelvrom765 i really needed to hear that rn. i lost my dad to a heart attack earlier this year on the morning of my 19th birthday. he texted me the night before telling me how proud he was of the woman i’ve become and how he’s always thought of me as more of a best friend than a daughter. and to always remember the good times. it always feels like i lost a bestfriend and a dad at the same time. it kills me everyday to think that he won’t get to see me get married or have children one day. i don’t know if he felt death was coming, but i’m so thankful i have that text. i know i’ll always miss him dearly. To anybody who has lost a parent: i know it may not seem like it, but it does get easier as life goes on. you just have to remember the good times.
I still miss my dad his friendship his cooking his jokes it’s been 8 years and my wife just died last year at 53 if there’s beer in heaven they are up there drinking and laughing at me for being stuck here miserable death is not the worst thing that can happen It’ worse for the loved ones
@@zlopylost mine at 56 , it’s always too early
My dad just passed this Saturday and the main emotions I’m feeling right now is sadness and regret. I regret not spending more time with him and not telling him how much I loved and how much I appreciated everything he had done for me. He was a tough man but I know that he did everything he did out of love. He was trying to make me a better man.
If you are lucky enough to be able to still spend time with your dad, please make the most of it. Don’t waste a minute of it because you can’t get the time that you’ve lost back
Amen
That is my regret too. I had the habit of thinking I had more time. "Oh I'll visit next Saturday" Then Saturday comes and I'll be like "eh, I'll visit next week, I don't feel like going anywhere today" and it kept going and going. I kept putting it off. You know that song, Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin? (If you've been around long enough, you've probably heard it before, at least in a movie or something). It's exactly like that. :(
Same. I have regrets of not visiting him enough and not spending more time with him. Breaks my heart. I wish I could tell him all the things you mentioned 💔💔
My dad was the same.tough love x is caring x I love my dad for putting food and clothes for us. A dad that never left or gave up on me....xxxx
I just lost my dad this past Saturday as well… it breaks my heart I will never be able to answer his phone calls…
Growing up without a father has ruined me in more ways than I can count. Be grateful for the time you have with him.
Makes things harder dont they
You really don't know how to deal with things, all those problems pile up and one day fall at you with a great force and break you within.
It's hard, isn't it? 😣
My dad was separated from me at age 8. I would only see him twice a month. I needed him in my life more than that. Rest in peace,dad.
My father died less then 2 weeks before my 5th birthday I’m now 23 and still struggle without him, my mum is the best mother I could ask for but I’ll always be missing that part of me & I’m not 100% sure how to be a man
My dad died 12 years ago when I was 14. Got through it for awhile but as I’ve grown up it’s become pretty apparent that I still havent fully healed as well. So sorry for your loss, it’s not an easy battle. It’s always helped me to think that he’s still living on through me and my siblings. Hope that you can find that helpful in some way too.
My father passed 2 weeks ago😢 I’m still trying to fathom not having him around anymore or even being able to call on him, hug him when I need him 😩 the hardest feelings I’ve ever had to feel. I was his baby girl I’m about to have to have my 28th birthday and he won’t be here 😞 he always came through,loved me and my family. Spoiled all of us on every occasion 😞 he was so smart, loving ,caring, very good family man also a good singer and such a good jokester…I will miss having beers with him and him singing me George strait 😞 I could always turn to him if I needed help and he was there in a heartbeat. he was only 55 when he passed. 😢 RIP daddy Arthur (King Art) ❤
I’ll never be the same without you dad 💔☹️
Lost my Dad 21 years ago and the "missing" never goes away, but it slowly turns from sadness to happy recollections over time.
Same. I was 18 and i am 39 now. The hard part is him not seeing his 3 grandchildren and the wisdom he would impart.
How long does that take? I feel like I'm the last one grieving and the pain won't leave
@@fitzlcn8506 It was during the second year, after I had gone through all the holidays once. I noticed less pain during that 2nd Christmas without him and more remembering him at that time.
@@tomray4139 it will be 2 years in September, I honestly feel worse each day. Thank you though, I appreciate your reply
I just lost my dad two days ago and the pain is so hard. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad but i can't see a future at the moment. I'm 42, he was 73. I'm very grateful for the time we had together. My mum is destroyed
I lost my father today unexpectedly. He was 74. He was such a GOOD man.He went to sleep and never woke up. I will miss his quiet influence forever. I love you Dad. ❤
I'm SO SO sorry for your Precious Father, for You and your Family. We lost our Precious Father two weeks ago and He too was such a GOOD Man.
My father to just passed, he went to sleep and never woke up he was 64. I still don't know whether to cry or punch a wall. When he was alive I called him a wash women always talking to people. He would always visit people in the hospital. I realize now he was a good person and people loved him. I love him but it was always difficult to say that or hug because I guess some men understand where I'm coming from. I love him and miss him. My whole life i dreaded this day when I thought about it and now it's reality. I just hope he knew I loved him dearly.
I lost my father 2 weeks ago. My exams are going on. I'm just looking for ways to overcome cuz it feels unreal
Very Very sorry for your loss my father is still alive but I try to spend as much time as I can
I just lost my father November 4th. It's really rough.
When my father passed, it was the biggest grief and relief I've ever had to face. I miss him so much, but I am relieved that he is no longer suffering. It changed my life and priorities and those changes have stuck with me. I still laugh and cry when I think of him and I do (and miss) him everyday.
May I ask how it changed your priorities?
My father passed 14 years ago. Still finding those times I grab the phone to call him... Prayers, brother.
I’m 71. I lost my dad when I was just 20. He was only 46. Fifty one years later, I still miss him. There are days I wish I could call him…just to talk. He was a great man. Hold on to those e-mails for a while. They just may bring comfort on a difficult day.
Do you have any ideas on how I could fix my insecure father? He is 57 and is generally unpleasant to be around. He complains about everything and has zero intentions of working towards bettering his complaints. What do I do?
Hey I know this is old comment but I just last my dad and he was 46 as well and I’m only 22. I feel like I lost my best friend, he was the best father I could have ever asked for and was really hard on me but I know he was preparing me for this cruel world. Any advice?
@@JoshuaWood-n3xlive life for him and FOR him. do everything to make him proud and do things he liked to do since he can’t. that’s what i’m trying to do.
@@LoriLynch-b4fI don't know but I just lost my dad at 57 a few weeks ago from cancer😢
@@LoriLynch-b4fu can’t do anything. My dad was the same way. He died Tuesday after 18 months of advocating against corrupt hospitals, I watched him take his last breath. Advice, take him in small doses in a controlled environment like a restaurant or something and keep boundaries . Dismiss his negativity by turning it into a joke. I’m sure he has good qualities too. My dad was the funniest person I ever met. He said I love you son and then acted like he didn’t know who I was five seconds later ( on his death bed) lol
I’ll always remember that.
My dad passed today at 10:11, wanted to show him that med school acceptance, wanted to show him in my army uniform. Wanted to see him hand his daughter to his bride at her wedding. All of that gone, that is my regret. Other than that I was with him from the time of his cancer dx, its progression, took him to all the appointment, surgeries, got my last word with him, even recorded it. On that front, I have no regret.
I lost my dad about 2 months ago. This past Saturday was his funeral service. It is beyond the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. I don’t know if I will ever get over it. He is the greatest person I have ever known.
How are you doing? ❤
Same I’m so lost 😢 😢😢😢
You don't get over the pain. You learn to live with it. My father died back in Feb 2023 while I was at work on a volunteer weekend. I still question whether or not I should've worked that day.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 4 years ago. I miss him all the time and its hard not talking to him but the pain does get easier. I pretended he left to go home, to the UK for an extended trip not knowing when he would come back. That some how made it easier, to pretend. Anyway, for everyone who has lost someone, especially lately, my deepest condolences and I hope you can appreciate the time you had with that loved one some day. You will get through this
@@ketchr4295 i feel you. those kinds of doubts and thought, those if... hurts a lot.
Knowing my dad will eventually pass. Hopefully i made him proud enough. I'm thankful for what he's done for me. Life is short and every bit of mine has been through sheer care of my parents.
I’m 36 and lost my Grandfather last week. I spent most of my childhood helping him on his farm and learned a lot about becoming a man from him. I feel really lost. It was the hardest experience watching him die. I don’t think it has really set in that he’s gone forever yet. But I’m thankful for the 36 years I had with him.
I lost my grandad last month, 18th of February I’m 17 now and it’s tough. when I was 2 he was diagnosed with leukemia we had 15 good years with him where he was healthy so in that respect I feel I’m lucky .
I lost my dad 5 years ago Cody and I miss him every day. When my dad died a piece of me died. Seeing my hero laying on the floor while I did CPR is a image I will never be able to get out of my head no matter what I do. I would like to give you some sound advice but I have not been able to find it yet myself to pass along. Keep your head up is all I can say your dad and grandfather are still with you and will speak to you when you need them the most. You will see them again someday.
I lost my Dad 2/22/22 unexpectedly, he was 63 years old. It hasn’t set in yet for me either. I had to be the one to tell my mom the news. I try everyday to keep the spirits up of my mom and sister. That’s all you can do, is to live everyday trying to keep happiness and joy. Between that and going through a divorce I try to aspire to try and be like him. I truly miss him and I only hope to be at least half the man he was. My thoughts are with you and everyone here who has lost their Dad.
Man,that's what I always say. I wish I could be half the man my dad was. It hurts deep to know that no matter where on planet Earth I look,my dad is no more.
I would do anything to see him again. I hope he has a place in Heaven so when I go,may God receive me too and we can rejoin in Heaven.
I'm 35 and I will never stop missing my dad.

I will love you forever, Dad. I will continue to make you proud
Lost my dad 5years ago, toughest day of my life. I had just become a dad myself three months before, there were so many things I would have wanted to ask or tell him. I still do. I have so much respect for, such a great person role model.
I feel your loss...I lost my mother last January to congestive heart failure and it's so hard! She was only 56 and was sick for 16 years. She got sick at 40 and that's the same age I am now. It just makes you think. I wasn't able to visit her in the hospital because of covid so she died alone and that's what weighs on me the most!
Those monsters who made people suffering and dying alone like old diseased street dogs will have to pay the price of their horrendous crime sooner or latter...
My Dad Passed a 3 months ago and the main emotion I'm feeling now sadness, regret. I regret not spending more time with him and not telling how much i love him how much i appreciated everything he had done for me. My father a Is A man who sacrifice his life enjoyes just for me and i can't give him something but i know he understands me how much i love him and how i am giving my best to proud him. My age now is 17 yr and i am in 12th class. I just want my father back but how i dont know but i feel his energy around me and feel he is with me. My father Struggle his whole life and i know his Struggle. And never forget his Struggle and make him proud one day i know he is seeing me from heaven i love my father , Miss You Pappa!
This is so real. How are coping now?
I just lost my dad a week and a half ago. I’ve cried so much I don’t feel very manly or strong. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. We are fortunate to have had good fathers that we loved and admired.
I miss my dad. He died two weeks ago, and he was the strongest man I've ever known. He died at 54 and I'm not sure why I'm commenting this, but I feel that others should know that he existed, and he was important to many people. To all the people who have lost their father's or anyone in general, I wish the best of luck to you going forwards. RIP dad, I love you more than I ever told you.
My dad had so much knowledge that is now gone. There are so many times I need him.
I lost my dad 10 years ago, he pushed me to achieve something and to this day all I want to do is call him. He had an amazing sense of humour and way with words. He was the glue that brought all our extended family together. Everything changes after the fact. I deleted voicemail the morning before I got the phonecall. I wish I could just listen to him say he loved me one last time. Forever greatful for him
I cried the entirety of this video. Thank you for sharing. Respect.
I feel for you brother. Lost my dad 8 years ago. I still have my old phones with his text messages still on them. I can't let them go just yet. We never get over loosing a parent, we just get used to them being gone. God bless
My father has been gone 46 years. He was my Hero!
He missed my whole adult life including 3 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren.
I think about him everyday, and how huge an impact he made on me in the time we had together.
After the loss of my dad 7 years ago. When I feel the need to call him to this day. I found that I still talk to him out loud. Voicing it helps me feel that connection to him still. And that his spirit is listening to me from where ever it is. I believe it in a way call his spirit to be with me for that short while as I need him.
I do the same, I too feel like it helps.
I will try that. Thank you
Ahhh Cody, your heartache will never go away but it will get better. I struggle with it everyday. God Bless Brother!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I lost my dad 6 months ago, still does not feel real, I don't think it gets easier nor do I particularly want it to, grief is the price we pay for love and its a price I would pay over and over. The love my dad showed me, the wisdom he shared with me, the lessons he taught me and the beautiful memories I have of him will be with me till my last moments.
Wishing strength to all those who have lost a loved one.
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”

I feel your pain a week ago today. My father passed away at age 77. I flew out of state to Pennsylvania to manage affairs and put my father to rest. I'm now lost both parents as a tear runs down my face it's going to take some time where all this to hit me. Mom's been going 20 years and I never seems to get easier each and every year the anniversary of her passing the pain is still surreal.
I’m with you Randy.. sorry you lost your father recently 😢 May God bring comfort to you and your family. May the Love of Jesus comfort you until the day of His coming!
Just buried my Dad today. I'm dead inside, I don't think things will ever be the same again. I wish I told him I miss him more, I love him more and how proud I am of him. I just want the world to end just to see him again. He was Christian and I hope He'll be waiting in the after life.
I understand exactly what u mean. Lost my pops November 4th. Still haven't smiled since he past. He died of cancer and I was by his side when he died, so I finally was able to tell him I love him and things I been wanting to tell him. I was the same as u, we weren't really open emotionally like that. Sorry for ur loss
My dad was too, a Christian. And so am I. Losing him put me in a hard and dark place, that I still struggle with to some degree every day, and its been almost three years. Do everything that you can to make sure that you go to heaven, too. Jesus loves you. And I know exactly how you are feeling. When you wrote that you are dead inside, that really got to me. God bless you. . .
@@jman3254 My father was a christian on the missionary field. He died 3 days ago. I am a christian. I feel like the world feels emptier. I have lost a lot of interest in things i used to enjoy.
I am so sorry that you lost your father. The overwhelming emptiness that I experienced with losing my dad was almost unbearable. It nearly took me down. When my dad died, it was like I had to learn to live without oxygen, he was just that important to me. He and I lived together in the same house all of my life. He was my hero, and an ever present essential element to my world. And I am sure that you will find yourself again, but it will take time. I still don't feel like the world is right anymore, to a degree, after nearly three years without him. It feels like someone played a dirty trick on me. And I know where my dad is, and that he is better off than any of us down here on this earth, and that's the crazy part, because the truth about someone being in heaven should give us comfort. But when you're a person who has an intertwined connection with a loved one, and you feel the love deeply, you also feel the pain deeply. God bless you Jack. I will pray that God helps you cope with the loss, and that He heals your broken heart.
I lost my Dad back in 2014, I was in my early 20s. I just bought my first house that had a lot of hidden issues, and not having him has been the hardest part. Best advice I got was to write down the stories he told. So long as you share them he will be alive in you. Peace be with you.
Was 16 when my father passed away. Growing up without him was hard. God bless my mother who tried her hardest to fill that role and negotiate life raising two kids own her own.
My dad died on the 2/4/24 and I'm 16. It's really hard on me
Same man
I'm 37 my dad just passed on March 8th... definite life changer. We would always do yard work together and while he was in hospice care in home all I could do was share pictures of the projects I had accomplished. I could tell he was happy that the homestead was being cared for and in good hands but saddened by the fact he was not with me. To all who have lost their father's always remember the great impact they had on our upbringing and remember we honor them by doing the good they taught us. Much love and condolences to everyone.
I lost my father almost 3 years ago now and I haven't been the same since. It really is true what they say the pain never goes away you just learn to live with it. Stay strong and hold all of the good memories close. Keep doing what makes you happy and celebrate all of the the time and memories you have shared with him over the years, that's how your father would have wanted it.
I lost my mom a little over a month ago. And my dad is having some serious medical problems right now. I can sympathize with your hurt right now.
I ended up losing my dad about a week after this video and comment was posted. And because I was my father’s caretaker I then lost my job because of that. I then lost my brother in law in early may. So I understand more with this video. What Cody posted in this video happens to me a lot lately.

I miss my dad, I wish I could ask for his advice one more time, I just hope he’s proud of what I’ve done
My dad passed away on April 28th, 2021. My life has not been the same since. The pain is enormous. I miss him tremendously and just wish I was able to hug him again.
Almost a year since my father passed. I still think about him everyday. I've come to realize this. The pain of losing my father will be with me always. It does not get easier. You learn to live with it. I only hope I can prepare my children for the world as well as he prepared me.
I feel your pain. My dad past month ago, 4 months after my mom. I miss them both terribly. I always called my parents for advice and sometime I still catch myself saying " I need to call and ask" then it sets in that I can't. Keep on keeping on.
I miss him so much
Had a hard time with this. My dad passed in January with covid. Found myself in tears when I was calling to get advice with my boys. Took me a second to think he wasn't there to answer the phone.
Thanks for sharing this. In my small group we discuss being able to let ourselves vulnerable. In doing so we are able to help each other in times like this. I used to think being vulnerable was a weakness. As I get older I have found that it takes strength to be so. In doing so we are able to help coach someone through hard times or being able to walk through those times together.
It about letting God use each of our stories to further strengthen each other.
It’s really tough man, I lost my father this year July to cardiac arrest. I feel so helpless that I couldn’t save him, he was a great soul. He was very close to me, sometimes life is unfair and that is the nature of life we must accept 😢. Love you father to eternity ❤
Lately, I've been voice recording nearly every conversation I have with my dad and my mom (I don't tell them as I want a genuine interaction), who are both in their late 70s. I really should have done this years ago...but at least my library of our conversations is slowly growing. I'll always treasure these recordings and my time with them.
Absolutely powerful video, my dads still alive but I know his days are numbered, he’s the most influential person in my life and this video motivated me to finally let me truly show my love and appreciation for him. Thank you Mr. Wranglerstar
Thank you for your video and for sharing your thoughts about your father. My dad passed away 42 years ago at age 56 and I still miss him. A lot. I guess that sounds weird to some but so many things come up in my life that I wish I could talk to him about. Things you don't plan for or think about until they happen. He always was there for us and always, always, had good advice. My mom used to call him The Rock because we could always count on him to be strong.
I feel your pain man. I lost my Dad on August 12, 2019. It still hurts and I still miss him. I'm right there with you on calling Dad when something good happened. I run a used Camaro/Firebird parts business and my Dad always liked it when I would call him after picking up a car. To let him know I'm safe and to tell him about the car. A couple weeks after he passed, I went to pick up an 80's camaro and after it was loaded on the trailer without thinking I picked up the phone and called my Dad. After I realized he's no longer there to answer that call, I freaking lost it. It's a very hard thing to go through, but as you said we all have to deal with that lose. It's a 'new chapter' of life without one's father. Try the best you can to hornor Dad's memory and not let him be forgotten with time. Godspeed my friend
I just lost my father yesterday and the words being said here suddenly feel extremely relatable and understandable. I could've done way more, even in those last moments, but I just failed. I failed myself and my father, this is the weight I'll carry on my shoulders for the rest of my stay in this world.
I just lost my last grandparent, my grandfather, yesterday morning. youve been an inspiration to me over the last several years, as ive transitioned to a fully off grid lifestyle and youve been instrumental to that. this video means alot to me, reminds me that its ok to feel lost sometimes. Thank you W. God bless you and keep you.
I missed my father terribly the first year he was gone. I felt a part of me had died. I remember hugging a pair of his boots to my chest and just sobbing, willing to give everything I had for just one more hour with him. That was 34 years ago and the longing for just one more hour is still there. And I still miss him just as bad as I did that first year. It does get easier but the grief never stops. The grief is a testament and reminder of the love. But I’ll see him again and each day that passes is another day closer!
I lost my father 2 days after my daughter was born 2 years ago not easy but I have learned that I have a father in heaven that loves me and is always there no matter how the day went... he loves all of us thank you for being 100% honest and raw your loved keep your eyes turned tord Jesus
My father just passed a week ago. This is a comforting reminder that we all go through this. I shared this on FB. Your words express exactly what I feel and can't express right now. Thank you for sharing. I love you and your dad. These words have been given to me in my absence. Thank you
You sharing these moments with us has really helped me out over the years. Especially now, my father passed two weeks ago
I lost my dad 4 years ago. Covid took him from me. I miss him dearly, even though we had a lot of unresolved issues, I miss him every single day. I hope he knew that, even though we didn't have the perfect father-son relationship, I loved him and still do.
Lost my dad last november from adverse reaction... Thanks for all you have shared with us and what you will continue to share. Always keep you and yours in my prayers, Cody.
My father passed away today at 51 age and he diagnosis of diabetes and all he has said to my is very memorable for remember but it's the hardest to say goodbye you are the best for family,spent all time for families and everything for family i very missed you dad. You are my real superhero in my life thank you for your did. 😭😭😭😭😭
I have lost all of my grandparents and know that loss. I can’t imagine yet the loss of a parent. They are such a part of my life.
This is what scares me more than anything in life. Losing my Parents and the ones I love.
My Mother is 75 and my Father is 83.
I know in life it happens, but it is hard.
Cody, I feel for you. Ten years since my dad passed. Everything you said is true. What has been so great to see is I'm more like my dad than I realized as my daughter is about to get married and she calls me when she needs those things. Paying it forward from my dad. No hurry to let go and delete contacts, etc. You'll know when it's time if it ever is. At some point seeing that number or saved emails will be something to smile about as you remember.
Exceptional blessing have been bestowed on men like us. To have had rock solid fathers to help us on lifes journey. A rare commodity for so many young troubled men in these wicked days. Keep the faith brother and fight the good fight. What a blessing you are to many,many thirsty souls.
I am 54 and just lost my Mother 2 weeks ago. She battled dimentia for nearly 2 years and I am so glad that she doesn't have to suffer anymore - what a horrible, horrible disease!!!! She spent the last 5 weeks of her life without eating a drop of food - she lived off of cranberry juice!!! To watch her go out that way was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. To think that you will never get to see or talk to your Mother ever again is a hard pill to swallow. Thanks for this video - I needed it.
My father passed away decades ago at the ripe old age of 54. Still miss his council and having him to discuss matters with. He was very ill for the last two years of his life and he slowly wasted away until he barely knew anyone. Yet, you are never easy to lose your parents or loved ones. I've come to an age where almost all of my parent's siblings and relatives have passed. It is hard to look back and realize all those folks that you spent your childhood with and have all those great memories are now gone. I still find myself thinking about something and wanting to ask one of my family about it. Then realize that they have passed on. Yet, I have sulus that I will one day see them again.
I lost my dad one week back on 19th Aug , 2024. I am unable to imagine my life without him and the pain is unbearable. He loved me so much and always wanted me to be happy. He was 63 yrs old passed away in sleep in home after 2 months of critical treatment of seizures. I miss his presence, calls ,voice. Now i feel empty and lifeless without him
I watched this with great sadness 3 days ago, knowing that my dad and friend was going to be passing on soon. Now, I am experiencing the reality of this sadness in real time. Thank you, Cody for sharing your personal loss at this moment of my tremendous loss. RIP, Dad
I lost my dad yesterday at 3:31 after a week on the ventilator. I’m lost confused and can’t keep my emotions in check I can’t stop thinking abt him n all the good memories we made. I js wish I could tell him I love him with him here one more time
I’m sorry,
Praying for you!!
Lost mine when I was 17... I'm 53 and still miss him terribly. At 16 I had just read the novel Dune and one passage hit me like a hammer as I faced my own loss.
“There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
Lost my dad this year. Feel the same. Kills me.
Lost mine when I was 7. I’m 14 now, just about half my life without my father. It really does change the flow of life although my mother and father were apart about a year by then. But I have gotten used to it the best I can.
I was with my father when he passed. It was unexpected and sudden, because of that it shocked me to my soul. I had known, revered and loved this man my entire life. He was always there for me, and had experiences I always learned from when talking with him. He was my role model and my Dad. He and my Mom had dedicated their lives to raising me and my siblings. In a way the quickness of his passing was a blessing, no long drawn out diseases. But as I said the reality of someone that close to you being there, and then gone forever like a light being turned off was like a bolt of lightning through my being. It really brings with it a realization of the finality of death in this world, though I hope to see him and my loved ones in the hereafter. I miss him to this day, many years later.
My papaw/adopted dad passed away on feb/29/2024 because of course he chose a leap year, always a troublemaker. at 78 and im 24. i miss him so much , thank you for the video
My thoughts are with you Cody. Over the past few years you guided Jack into a strong man like your father did for you, and his for him. Not only have you taught Jack but a lot of the young men who have watched you over the years. You taught me how to sharpen axes and attach handles. Taking care of my tools and the pride that a man should feel when his tools are in well order. The importance of providing for those around me. The list goes on, while knowing it or not you've lead some of us boys in the same direction that your father and grandfather intended for you. Honestly with a tear in my eye after writing this, thank you and thank you to the men who lead you. Their lessons will be remembered and continued to be passed through generations, part of them will always continue on.
I feel ya Cody! Lost my pop 3 weeks ago. We weren't as close as you and your father, but I still ache knowing my earthly father has moved on. Thankfully as believers, we know we'll see our loved ones again. The pain is still there, but there's hope for eternity.
Thank you for all that you do! You have filled that spot of an older wiser brother for me as I have passed thru the phases in life and I always appreciate your viewpoint on this crazy world of ours!
Praying for you brother. Keep on keeping on!
They're waiting for you on the other side. Carry on their legacy the best you can until then. All the best to you.
Lost my Dad April 4th 2023. It's very fresh. He was a great man. Heres to all the fathers that make the next generation a better generation than they left it.
Stumbled across channel trying to learn about chainsaw safety and saw this. Been 9 years here and your words echo what I feel still. We were blessed to have such influences. Looking at date this maybe 1st Christmas without him for you and just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas. I’m sure your dad will be there with you just like mine will be with me. God bless you and your family.
What a heart felt video - I am truly sorry you have lost your Dad. My Dad is 82 years and I have the same sentiments about him as you described about your Dad. Thanks for the reminder - I am calling Dad tonight.
I've been walking this path for almost four years now, and even with our strained relationship (for most of my 45 years that I knew him) it was still very hard, and continues to be so even now.
I console myself with some of the lessons he taught me about building/fixing/repairing things, and to take some pride in your work, no matter what it is you're doing. Important things that you only really appreciate as you get older.
2 years for me. Absolutely brutal. I feel every word you are saying.
So true I lost my dad 5 years ago and no amount of time that passes changes the way it made you feel when you first lose a loved one
My dad was definitely the greatest ever gift God gave me😢
I was 22 when my dad passed, 13 years ago. I feel your pain. I still have his phone number in my phone. It becomes a new reality. Changed my life forever, for the better. Gave myself 100% over to God, largely because of the example my dad left me. I am forever immensely proud of the man he was.
I was also 22. My dads funeral was the same day as my birthday. Then mam died less than 2 years later but Jesus Christ got me through. Sorry for ur loss but we will meet them again. God bless
Im 22 at the moment and my dad died 2 days ago of what is believed to be a massive heart attack . It feels like there is a hole in my heart and i know that only the Lord Jesus Christ can get me through this . As many have said ,it's terrible because its so "final" and hurts to think that i won't see or talk to him over the phone again .
Honestly happened at the worst time in my life as well seeing as my current situation and future isn't looking too good right now but i have faith and hope . It breaks me because i really still needed him and his help ,especially at this time .
Wishing you guys well
@@JMar135 I'm sorry to here that JM. The first days and years are brutal. You are not alone and many have been through what you are going through. We all made it through and so will you. These are the days, months, and years that will shape the rest of your life. How you respond to this, the decisions you make, the conclusions you come to, will all massively effect your future. My advice, is to make your mind up quickly about what you truly believe to be truth. Nothing is impossible with God your real father. He has all the wisdom, knowledge and advice you actually need. The Holy Spirit will guide you and connect you to your true source of life and purpose. Find your purpose in life by asking the Holy Spirit to dig deep and reveal your potential to you. One day you will look back and have the story of overcoming these difficulties and you will have the satisfaction knowing you stayed faithful to God, and He promises to care for those who are faithful to Him. Take care of yourself my friend. If at all possible, get away for a few days to a peaceful place in nature and don't be afraid to grieve. You will grieve for years to come but it's healthy and a testament to your dad's impact on your life. Use this as a lesson for the preciousness of life, and what impact are you leaving in your time here on earth. Take care
Love your channel. One love brother. I miss my father immensely as well. Stay strong. We ain’t alone. And men keep on keeping on.
I’m a little choked up.
My dad died in July.
He left when I was 2.
I only meet him once.
I always wondered what he was like.
My dad passed coming up on 3yrs ago unexpectedly and your right. Any big thing or success I had in my life, he was the first I’d call and it is a great loss not to be able to make that call. Miss him every day and still have dreams about him. Losing a great and loving dad/parent is a huge thing in anyone’s life. I’ve watched this video many times over the last 2 yrs to try and process it, it’s helped no end. Thankyou my man, I appreciate you sharing your experience with your grief ❤️
22 years ago this week I lost my father. Never gets easier. Miss that man and always will.
I lost my father this morning. My heart feels like it’s bleeding and I’ll never be happy ever again. I miss you dad .
sorry man. about to lose mine. so sad.
I lost my dad in 1992. I wrote this for him after he passed. I hope it helps.
My Father, My Friend
You were taken to life eternal
To a place much better than here
Now you can watch and protect us
And we will always know that you’re near
I know you’re here when the sun shines
When the gentle rain falls to the ground
My life goes on with a smile
Because I know you’re always around
Can you hear me say I love you
You were so very important to me
I can still feel you walking beside me
Feeling as proud as a man can be
You haven’t gone away forever
For some day I’ll be with you again
You were the man who gave me my life
You were my father and my friend
Thank you, sir. My father passed in late 2019, and I miss him daily.
We lost my dad in April of 2018, I think about him daily.
I was fortunate enough to bring back some of his ashes with me that I made a small urn for, it sits in my workshop with his picture so he’s always there with me. When confronted with a problem I often think “What would dad do…?”.
God bless Cody.
Stu.
I'm glad I came across this old video of yours, big fan of everything you do. Lost my dad about a month ago, two days before my 39th birthday. I had been his caregiver for the past couple years.... I just idk I'm supposed to be a grown man and I'm capable of living my life and making good decisions, but I lost my best friend, my greatest supporter and my greatest teacher. If your father is still alive for you in the comment section... realize how blessed you are ❤
You're a father to those of us without one
My father passed away in February. Years before his death we talked about his father which had passed before my birth. I asked him what it like for him being gone. He said that almost everyday he just wanted to ask him a question so to make the best decision. I completely understand now dad. I miss you so much. Promise to do my best and stay true to my word. Love you POP....
You're lucky you had a good father, I haven't spoken to mine in over 16 years.
Hey man, I don’t know your family situation obviously, and don’t particularly giving advice to people who don’t ask for it, but I would say slowly reach out. Maybe wish a happy birthday, or just get a small ice breaker in, a foot in the door, you know? I’m typing this thinking of my father and how much I miss him. I hope you will be able to mend some sort of relationship because if you do, I’m sure you’ll be grateful. Ofcourse I don’t know the details of your estrangement, but that’s just my take. Anyway, take care.
@@BB_55 agreed call your dad man, I wish I could
At least you know yours be grateful
Could not have put it in to better words.
So thankful for incredible fathers. Let’s make them proud!
My dad died at 47 2 days ago. Trying to cope. He was one of the closest people in my life and my only parent. I hope I can be as good of a dad as he was.
I am 22 years old, and my Dad passed away on December 27th of 2022. I miss him so much every day. He influenced me in so many areas in my life. My Love for Formula 1, comes from him. Me learning Guitar right now, is in Honor of him, he played Guitar for Decades. My Love for Rock and Country Music comes from him. I miss him.
I lost my father 9 days after my 15th birthday. I'm almost 22 now and it still hits hard. He was my hero, now i have to be strong for everyone because i was his only son and the oldest but it gets hard sometimes cos i need someone too. Damn
