  3. Hello i am jenna and i am from Iowa i have to tell you some thing this song reminds me of what i have went through and all the things that happened when i was about 9 years old. When i was 9 my dad killed my mom and my brother. Then he took his own life and i have been living with this new foster family. Everytime i hear this song it reminds me of what i have went through and it makes me remember my family that i lost. I really love this song and i want to thank the person who made it. it may remind me of the time i lost my family but thats good because when i remember that i see their faces and then i just want to remember what they look like. I have been living in this foster home ever since i was 9 and i am now 16 years old. if it weren't for this family i would not be alive right now. So thank you for making a wonderful song. I LOVE IT

  4. Since about 5 years ago I was in kinda that same situation. My mom and step dad beat us and never mention god unless it had a cuss word before it. I have been in foster care since I was 9 and I'm 14 now and I am sad to say my little brother is still with my mom and my step dad was never charged-for the abuse or for killing my brothers.

  5. Charlie, Jenna, Latona - Thanks for sharing your stories. I've sent the link for this blog post to the company that manages John Michael Montgomery. Hopefully they will forward the link to him so he can personally read your posts as well.

    I know it means a lot to me when I read them. Thanks for sharing your stories.

  7. Thank you, Hurley's Girl, for sharing your story. I agree that it is sad that so many people have to go through this, sadder when some of them don't make it. Hopefully someday we'll see an end to this. :*(

  8. I have to put up with this for the rest of my life and sometimes i wish i could end my life to make me happy again. I have been so unhappy since i was about 5 and most of the time i think about how unhappy i am and wish that i was happy again. But i know that will never happen again. I still miss my mom and dad. I have not slept in about 2 months because when i fall asleep i see their faces and the day that i was taken away because my dad killed my mom, brother, then himself.I am now taking care of my sister, my 4 year old brother, and my self. I am paying for everything for us and when i turn 18 i am going to get a house and everything just to make sure my brother and sister have a home that they can claim. We have been in and out of foster homes since i was 9 and now its time for us to stay put.

  9. Jenna,

    I have a friend who went through something very similar. The difference was her dad went to jail. Her surviving brother (8 years younger than her) and she lived with their grandmother from when she was 9 (he was 1) until she turned 16 when they lost her too. She raised her brother since. She's now in her 30's and has seen her brother through HS.

    Life has been hard for her, but I can tell you with certainty, she has been happy; I've seen her smile, laugh and even surprise her husband with the garden hose as well as other pranks. It's not easy and I've seen life's twists bring her to tears and anger even decades after the incident (such as when her father was released from jail). But she gets through it with prayers, the love of friends and the strength of the spirit within her.

    What you do is very commendable. You must also be a person with a very strong spirit inside to go through what you have done and still stand strong for your siblings as you are.

    I know nothing I can say can take away the pain, the nightmares or the grief in your life. But I do want to thank you for sharing your story.

  12. My brother didn't make it but at least he is not in any pain anymore. I have realized that if i was too die then i wouldn't have anyone to take care of my sister. I love her so much i just can't wait until she grows up to teach her how to be polite and nice to everyone, cuz being mean to everyone gets you no where in life trust me ive been mean to everyone since my parents died and thats been 7 years ago.

  13. Wow.
    This song is so amazing, and I've been listening to it since I was young. I'd sing along even though I didn't know what it was about. Now every time I hear it it makes me cry. I wish everyone who is ever in this kind of situation the best of luck, and that they get through it. I never had to go through something so bad, but my father did commit suicide when I was just three. I think it would be much harder to lose both parents. For some reason this has been my favorite song since I was pretty young (I'm only 15 now), and I think it always will be.

  15. if you ever need some one to talk to let me know. i probably wont be able to help you with everything or very much of it for that fact but i know from experience that just talking to someone help a lot.

  16. Thank you so much Latona. I really do need someone to talk to about alot of stuff you may not be able to help me out but you actually could just by being there to listen to me.

  17. ya whenever you need to let me know and i can give you my email if you would like. i'm on my computer pretty much every day after school.

  18. thanks i need to talk soon cuz im going insane my little sister keeps asking where did my brother go... I don't know what to tell her and its tearing me apart everytime she asks me that.

  19. The best thing for her is to tell her the truth - now. Depending on what you believe faith wise, you can say he's gone to Heaven, now with God (or Jesus) or what your faith teaches you. But be honest, she should know the truth. When she cries (and she will) let her.

    I do recommend you speak with someone (councelor, DCF rep, more below)who can help you deal with what you're going through and help you help your sister through her grief too.

    Another source would be someone from the hospital (they often have councelors) as well as anyone who helped you through the funeral/burial/final arrangements for your brother. Most will have information on who can help you in your area.

    It's not an easy thing.

    Good luck. My prayers are with you and your family.

  20. Jenna, ok so my email is latona13@gmail.com. you can email me any time and if i can help you at all let me know. if you sister knows who Jesus is then you can just tell her that you brother went home to live with Jesus. it's probably be one of the hardest things you will ever do but once she knows and understands that he's gone it will become much easier than hiding it from her.

  22. Thank you all for all the help you have given me. I miss my family so much. I have finally built up enough corage to tell my sister about where my brother has went. It may have taken me awhile before i could fine the time to tell her where he went, but i can already see her face when i tell her where he has gone. I need to tell her this and i just need to i can't hide it from her any longer. I love everyone that has helped me through everything. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE HELPED ME IN SOME WAY.

  23. Jena,

    I cried when I read your story. It is so sad, and I just want you to know I am praying for you. If you need anything just email me at tori.irvin@yahoo.com and I will talk to you if nothing else. Never loose your faith in God. He will be there every step of the way for you, and nothing, not death, not Satin not your neighbor can break through God.

    Love,
    Tori
