I lost my Dad unexpectedly 3 months ago. We had a fabulous relationship and he was the most amazing, caring, funny, Dad and Grandad. He just died, with no warning. I never got to say goodbye and it breaks my heart I never got to tell him how much I loved him. I think about him constantly and I miss him so much. He normally came for Christmas at our family home and his birthday is just after Christmas and I am just dreading it. He was such a big part of our lives.
Hi @Beau
I empathise with you. I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and I too was extremely close with him. I saw him every day and he was truly my best friend. His death was extremely sudden. I had actually been on holiday in Florida with him the day before.
I rarely told my dad I loved him, it’s just not something we do in our family. But I’m a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. You didn’t need to tell your dad you loved him for him to know that, he knew it!
Christmas will be difficult and in all honesty I’m kind of skipping it this year. However, Christmas was my dad’s favourite so I will try my best to be festive for my brothers and nephews because that’s what my dad would want.
You are not alone in your feelings.

Thank you. You are right, actions do speak louder than words and im sure he knew he meant the world to us all. He was a but bah humbug about Christmas but always joined in the fun with me and the children and I know they are missing him so much.
