My Dad passed away 6 years ago today. I think of him so very often
(((Dad))) one of the hugs I never gave you in real life. Because you wouldn't let me.

Bless your heart, I'm so sorry. My I offer my condolences?
 My Dad was NOT very affectionate either - I cannot remember a time when HE hugged ME. There wasn't a time. But I hugged HIM whether he liked it or not. Sometimes he'd tend to pull away, but from what I could tell, it was more out of "shyness" and being 'uncomfortable" than being disgusted. Dad was one of 9 kids, and NEVER got any attention. So he didn't know how to GIVE it. I loved him nonetheless.I know how you feel tho. It took me YEARS to understand and come to grips with the fact that he gave me what he had to give. He couldn't give me something he didn't have - something which he never got. I'm sure your Dad loved you. Just as I'm sure he's been around you. Have you felt his presence?? His smell ? He's been there, no doubt. Occasionally I'll get a tap on the head (I live alone!!) or something will be moved in the house. It's fun!  Last night, I got a tap on the back end! That must have been my husband. LOLJust know that your Dad loves you and we will see our loved ones one day, and you'll be able to give him that hug! God bless, and take care. Hugs, Lee |

Such a shame he didn't get your hugs. He missed so much!
I know nothing can totally heal that hole in your heart, but I hope being here with all who love you helps in some small way. Get extra hugs from your husband and son today. All of us love you! I love you!!

((Sabrina)) - sorry you're hurting at this difficult time. I hope it helps to think - maybe your Dad was a wounded man.....his lack of hugs wasn't because of you I suspect.

Sabrina I am sorry about you dad passing 6 yrs ago and i know anniversarys are tough. I just got through my mom's 4 yrs last weekend. It never really goes away, not for me anyway. You just learn to live with it. Lost my Dad too, 5 yrs ago, we had a complicated relationship, we didn't get to know each other until 2 yrs before he died. He was not in my life before that. I'm sorry you didn't get to hug your dad. Some people are not raised with affection like hugs and kisses. Maybe no one hugged him. Whatever the reason, I'm sure he loved you just the same. Just remember that. My prayers are with you!
