Thank you starrlight πŸ’œπŸ’œ much appreciated 🌻

I'm sorry. I understand. I lost my real dad not long ago and then my father in law who I was closer to months after that. It's hard. Just think of the happy times if you can. πŸ€—

Oh wow πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺ what was one of your favorite memories ?

β€’ in reply toLoveiskind12

Honestly with my real dad I don't have any. I loved him but even though we lived in the same house we didn't know each other at all. My father in law became a father to me. One of my favorite memories was playing pool with him when I was very pregnant. He laughed and made me laugh because I could barely fit my tummy over the table to hit the balls. And then when I first brought my baby home, I have the sweetest picture of my newborn sleeping on his chest. He was such a gentle giant. Thank you. How about you?

Aww that sounds so sweet , I'm sure if he were here, he would be the best grandpa πŸ₯°πŸ₯°... I have a few .. one of them is going to the park by my grandmother's house when I was younger and just swinging on the swings as I watched him play catch with my brother. Another one would be when we played cards, we would play black jack and poker. We would use my grandma's change to make bets. And I remember going to the gym with him. He was so strong. I would be on the treadmill and he would be lifting weights .. he loved the gym lol .. he also loved telling old stories about when he was younger .. I miss hearing them ... He loved jamming out in the car too lol, I would loved to go back in time and see that again 😣πŸ₯°

Hi my dad and I were big Manchester United fans and used to go to Old Trafford when we still lived there. He has been gone 11 years now and my football is always tinged with sad memories. x

I miss my father, too. Not so much during football season, as I was the fan in the family. But he loved to fish, and every March first, I think of him. Even with snow on the ground, his spring fishing season began. He developed Alzheimer’s in his β€˜60s and lived with the disease for 13 years. It was torture losing him before we really lost him. He was my Buddy, Mentor, Cheerleader. I feel for your loss. Lynne

Hi Lynne 🌻 fishing with your father sounds lovely πŸ₯° I'm so sorry you had to watch him suffer like that πŸ˜” .. but I hope you had way more happy memories with him. My dad and I loved to play cards together , we would use my grandmother's change bucket and make pretend bets lol

I sure can relate to you..lost my mom 30 years ago...it's been a long time but I still miss her so much..I talk to her all the time..we did everything together..saw her at the very least 2 times a day...it's a tough one for sure..goodbyes are so very difficult... feel for you...

Ahh wow , two times a day ... Must of been really hard for you 😭 I'm sorry. It's so hard , especially around specific times of the year. Everything just triggers memories and is just sad. I just try to think of all the good memories and be at peace with that. Thank you for the love. πŸ’œπŸŒ»

β€’ in reply toLoveiskind12

Yes at the very least 2 times a day..I was 6 weeks away from giving birth to my 3rd child,...she was going to be with me...there were other plans for her..took me a long ten years to accept it... I am happy now even though I'll always miss her...we were besties...and for that I am very grateful...I have no regrets with her and the bottom line all our loved ones that we've had to say goodbye to would want us to be happy, right? So I think about that one a whole lot...

Yes focusing on the good memories is very good to do..yet you have those days..I feel for you...

Hoping you have a beautiful day..

I don't think I've accepted it yet , it's been 5 years and I feel like it hurts more now than ever. I think I blocked it out for a long time but now it feels like it just happened.

β€’ in reply toLoveiskind12

I'm a slow learner with it..took me 10 years to accept it...to me 5 years hasn't been that long...I'm here for you and so relate to your feelings...hang in there, stay strong for you..

May you have a beautiful day..
