I think this song is so touching and and a wonderful tribute to a friend. I know after recently losing two very dear friends, it helped to put things in perspective for me. Toby Keith is a master composer and singer. I love this song, and it gives me comfort when I hear it. You go, Toby!

I lost my husband of 34 yrs to cancer almost 2 yrs ago, when I heard this song I thought of my husband’s best friend. They were best friends since high school. They were each other’s best man in our weddings. As couples, the four of us became more like family, we raised our children together and have remained close friends. They hunted together, fished, camped and spent so much time together. He has had such a hard time with my husband’s death. I think loosing a best friend is much like a spouse. This song is so heartfelt and only Toby Keith could sing it.
Everytime I hear it I have to stop and just listen and even though it brings the feeling of loss up to a level of freshness it also calms the soul with the feeling of appreciation.

I really don’t understand why everytime there is a way to poke a jab at Toby, critics do, such as Sam Gazdziak did. This song is a tribute to Wayman Tidsdale and the pain that Toby feels along with others. It is beautifully written, performed and has special people in Wayman’s life that are feeling pain too. Why does Sam Gazdziak from “Georgia”, seem to think his opinion matters? True Toby fans do not care what Sam thinks. It is not about Toby crying, it’s about feeling the loss of someone that was special to a lot of people including Toby and he included the others in the video. Give Toby a break and give him credit where credit is due. He’s made it on his own and you along with other critics do not like it because he did it Toby’s way. Don’t discredit a beautiful tribute to Wayman Tidsdale. Toby, this is a great song just like all of your songs. You are real, conpassionate and you are not ashamed to show your feelings in your videos or your songs. Please don’t change, this is what makes you “Toby”. Sincerely, A Toby Keith fan forever…..From Goldsboro, NC and proud to be a Toby fan.
