A year today......

It has gone so quickly.... A year ago today, at around this time, I received the heartbreaking phonecall saying my father had passed away. For a year already heaven has had the greatest angel. I decided to spend most the day out with my boyfriend and have some grieving time alone tonight. I have had many messages of support to help get me through and everytime I felt the tears coming I looked up and the sun reappeared. It has been so hard but I will never ever forget him. My angel, my hero, my daddy xxxxxx

You wont ever forget him. But you'll always carry him in your heart as I do with my dad, and trust me as time goes on you will find comfort in your memories.

God bless.

I read your message with deep feeling, ....because sometime in the near future the same will happen to my dear daughter who loves her father so much. Your words are so wonderful. I know for us that the sun will appear because that is the nature of my husband. I hope we will have the courage that you show, Laura xxxx

Laura I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum just over a year ago so I know how you feel. He is up in heaven now with the angels. You will meet again one day. Take care. xx

Laura,looks as though you are handling things the right way,doing what you want,to remember him.I remember an earlier post,where you were very undecided,as others wanted to stay with you,on the day.

Your Dad will always live in your heart,& you can look forward to the day you meet up,but now get on & live a great life,in his memory, xxxx

Hugs and best wishes for u, xxx

Good morning Laura, thank you for sharing your feelings with us. The first year is the hardest after a close lose but with time you will start to cherish your happy memories of your "daddy". The sad times will pass have a relaxed memory day, and don't worry about showing your emotions with a tear xx

How lucky you are to have had such a fantastic father! And how lucky he was to have had you as a daughter. With much love TAD xx

I think its wonderful that you loved your dad so much, and he must have doted on you. You must have lots of happy memories that in time you will be able to look back on without tearing up. Sometimes, things just catch you unaware like an expression, something he liked or laughed at, presents he gave you or places you have been. It is very hard I know but its not been long, and while you will never forget him, you will learn to adapt. You have been very blessed to have had such a close and loving relationship with your dad, and I wish you peace and happiness in the fact that he was so loved and that I believe you will meet again one day. Sometimes people like to light a candle and have a time of solitude and thinking about him or a loving soul they miss. This is not for everyone, but you do what you feel is right for you. Your dad will know you are missing him, but he will want you to remember the good times as well. Wishing you all the best and I promise the rawness will fade in time.

love and best wishes,

Huggs xxxx

You lost your Dad the same year as mom passed away it was February this February the anniversary my two brothers and I went to the crematorium we had a name plate for her where we can go and put flowers. It is always a difficult time they say time is a good healer but I'm not sure every day I think of her. xx

Hi Laura, They say the first 12 months is the hardest I hope in time it eases, my children lost there Dad 6 weeks ago he was 52 and very fit and well a complete shock they are 19 and 20 and are devastated, no time to say good bye and all over in another country.. It has been hard every day we grieve, yesterday was his Birthday and the week before my lovely daughter was just 19 .. No sure how we will move on but time I hope will help us on this journey. Friends at Uni help my son while I wrap my arms round my daughter to comfort her every day, we still can't accept the word final ...Take care xx
