Coming Sunday, March 19th

my dad would have turned 60. I can't really grab it. It feels strange to think about it.

To my dad! I love you

1. I have a shirt just like that

So he must've been a warm, caring man.

2. Oh MissHoney, what a handsome man he was!

Gosh, my dad would have been about 74. He died when he was 43. I still miss him. :cry:

5. No, it never stops. But thank The Maker, after time goes by,

it doesn't hurt quite so much to think about it. Instead, thinking of him brings laughter and a feeling of love, rather than heart-rending pain. :hug:

6. Yes, I enjoy thinking about the good times as well

but I also think often of the time when he was sick and got worse and worse. And even though it hurt to see him go it was an intense time I don't want to miss. We had at least the chance to say Good-bye to him and to show him how loved he was.

8. I will go to his grave Saturday with my mom

bringing some flowers. But with this cold weather here we won't be able to plant anything.

11. I'm sure your mother will be grateful for your company and support.

I remember when you posted pictures of your father last year.

We never stop missing the people we love when they're gone.

I haven't been back to my father's grave since he was buried in '74.

12. Oh my mom will be fine

the got separated in 1990 divorced in 1996. They stayed friends though. And it was never a question for her to be there for my dad and us when my dad was so sick and dying.

9. I bet he wouldn't want you to be sad, MissHoneychurch.

It sounds like you and your father loved one another a great deal. :hug:

10. Yes we did

when my parents separated I stayed with my dad (as did my brother). For a couple of years I was female number one in his life :) I think we had a close relationship.

He'll always be with you in your heart. I'm glad that the two of you had such a close relationship. Says a lot about your Dad, and you too for that matter.

16. Thank you SimplyF

yes, he'll be always with me. It just hurts to think about what he is missing. He was always there for me and was concerned about my well being.
