My Father passed away about a month ago and I realize that it takes time to heal but I find I miss him more and more each day. I am very thankful that my husband and I did move back "home" about a year ago and we had that year with him.

Miss you Dad!

i'm sorry for your loss <3

my father passed away two months before my 15th birthday.
May 3, 2008, to be exact.

anyway, i know the feeling.
i miss him,
certain songs and things make me cry,
and it's hard trying to remember my childhood without crying.
:/

Grief is so lonely sometimes ... remember all the good times, like a photo album in your mind .... and remember he is still with you in many ways ....

take care, love Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxo

Thank you jinnyann - I often find myself talking about the good times or funny things that Dad did with friends and family. It so has helped and has helped my Mom through this tough time.

I miss my Dad too. My dad killed himself when i was 10, and i am 25 now. it does get easier over the years, but i never forget and i miss him everyday. When that time of year comes around (birthday, deathdate, special occasions i wish he was there for)... those times can become hard.
But i always remind myself that he is watching from above and keeping me safe. I do things that would make him proud.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away last month, too. I know how bad the pain is. You will find wonderful ways to continue feeling close and connected to your dad-- I know I am starting to do that.

I know how you feel! My dad passed away on 3/16/2008. We had always been fairly close. My mom was quite sick and in the hospital for the first few months 0f 2007. As hard as that was, it gave me so much time with my dad. At the time I didn't realize what a gift it was. A little over a year later he was gone. I am so thankful to have had that time with him. The holidays aren't going to be easy for any of us this year.

My Dad has been gone almost 4 years and I think about him so often. My thoughts are with you.
