Birthday thoughts for your Dad Laura, it is bound to be difficult the first birthday without your Dad. I am so glad you have very good friends to be with this evening.

God bless and may the weather be kind to you tomorrow.

So sad for you Laura and how lovely that you bought him a card. Brings him closer in a way. I always bring out my dear Mum's card on my birthday, have done for many years now. Take care of yourself. Sara

Laura, anniversaries are always painful at first. After a while they will be more bearable. Friends can be a great comfort, and more in this forum. Thinking of you, pergola x

I`m sure your dad will be smiling down on you as proud as punch.

Have good memories remembering the good time you had with your dad .

He is only sleeping until you meet again.

I'm sure dad would have said, "Good girl, thanks for that." It is hard now sweetheart but the pain will ease a bit in time and you will be left with lots of happy memories. I get the feeling dad loved you quite a lot.

Hi Laura,thoughts are with you,on a difficult day.As people said the pain eases in time.I lost twin boys(died after birth) that was over 40 years ago,but still feel a lot of emptiness,on that anniversary! The pain never goes entirely away.

Glad you have friends to spend the time with, xxxx
