Father’s Day

Father’s Day

For all the Dads who are no longer here
“Happy Father’s Day”
How we wish we had you near
On your day and every day.

For all the Dads beyond the stars above
“Happy Father’s Day”
How we hope you feel our love
On your day and every day.

For all the Dads who we miss so much
“Happy Father’s Day”
How we long to feel your touch
On your day and every day.

For all the Dads we carry in our heart
“Happy Father’s Day”
How we dream of not being apart
On your day and every day.

I lost my dad 13.06.23 so this is my first Fathers Day without him. Normally he would be sat on his sofa reading the Sunday paper tucking into his bacon sandwich and a cuppa then later on he would drink one of the cans of Guinness I’d bought him. I have never felt loss like this. I keep getting told it will get easier but at the moment i find that hard to believe

Dad died 8/3/23 so this is also my first without him. I’d always give him cakes & biscuits so this year is really hard. Hope everyone in the same position is coping ok. Xx

I am really struggling to accept I will never speak to him ever again. We were incredibly close and like two peas in a pod

Hi i totally know what your going through, my dad died 09/04/23 and this is also my first fathers day without him, it has been immensely painful! I miss him so much, we was so close, u spoke to him at least twice a day, everyday and now i listen to saved voicemails from him so i can hear his voice. Everyone says times a healer but i feel as time is going on i feel worse!

When I lost my Dad, 31 years ago now it completely changed me as a person I was 28 at the time & it took me a long time to find myself again. Looking back I pushed everyone close away because I was scared of feeling that way ever again. Time does make it easier but all this time on I still miss him very much. I wrote the poem actually for our 2 girls after I sadly lost my husband as I knew what it was like to lose a father. As it happened I met my wonderful husband as a consequence of moving back home during my Dad’s illness so something really good came after such sadness.
Take care, sending love & strength :heart:

This is beautiful. I lost my dad almost two weeks ago.
Yesterday my fiancé decided he was going to take me to the seaside to get away for a bit. It was nice to be honest so I wasn’t seeing everyone’s Facebook posts. X

What a lovely fiance, take time for your self, i had grief counseling which helped, but I would talk about my dad all day, my dad passed away before my 60th birthday, i still feel like his little girl and i always will, my partner is very supportive and we talk about dad, i would love a hug from my dad and to hear him say i love you, i have a tape that I found on his video camera, can’t see him apart from his shadow, one day i will watch it and listen to his voice ,
