I miss my dad, he left us in 2004 but I'll think about him tomorrow, something else I've thought about is that my grandad will get a gift from his daughter, my mum, for the first time in many years
How do I remember my dad, that's quite a question to answer, I was a, daddy's girl he would have done anything for me, I only had to ask dad can I..... And if could resolve my problem he would, but the best way to say how liked and respected he was is this, he retired 10yrs before he died and at his funeral which was on a November afternoon people he had worked with came to pay their respects, but I also remember going with him on the bus to football matches, he always made sure he had snacks for us both with him
Hi Roukaya, I will also be missing my Dad tomorrow, he was 67 when he died. About 18 years ago. I miss him, my mum misses him. He was a great Dad. I think about him most days. Tomorrow, let's remember our father's for the happiness they brought us and think of the good memories and times spent with them, when they where here. 😊🌸🌼
I lost my father in 2001, still miss him and think about him lots. Fathers day is also difficult as my partner still has her dad and and we tend to visit him so i tend to stay in the background. I usually get the old photos out and remember the happy times we had, upsetting but also uplifting.
I often wish I had the robust mentality and resilience of a Father who would never keel over on the face of adversity
Think about the positive impact your Dad made on you
Undoubtedly he has taught you certain life lessons which will stay with you for life
I look at a small of of Dad everyday sometimes he even comes in my dreams
Tomorrow is a timely reminder but in reality I remember Dad everyday
Hi Roukaya,
Lovely words for your late dad and good to know you keep him safely in your heart and remember him often.
I lost my dad very early at the age of 15, and now 57 years later and with my own life well lived, I still hold him as dearly. He wasn't perfect and he'd had a big and lasting sorrow in his life, but he was kind and a gentleman. In the short 15 years I knew him, I never heard him raise his voice or to become angry. His face is as familiar to me now as it was then. Rest in peace Dad, I love you still. 🙏🌺
Hi Roukaya, Thank you so much for saying so. I know you said previously that your relationship with your dad was difficult at times, and I think it's good to be real about all human relationships because none of them are perfect. We are human after all. But after a loved one's gone, it's best to just remember the good times and their good qualities. I agree that the right few words when you are feeling upset and vulnerable, can make all the difference in the world. 🙏💖
I lost my Dad in a terrible accident when I was 14, I'm 70 now. Like you I still hold him dear. I have had a very successful career, at key points I have often thought how proud my working class Dad would have been of 'his girl'. I am also married to a wonderful man who is an artist and a craftsman, he and my Dad would have had so much to talk about, I know they would have loved one-another.
Sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I think of the tragedy of his death, but mainly I hold a warm glow for the lovely man who set me on the road to pursuing education , working hard and having a good life.
But I think you have a wonderful Dad in the sense he left you a beautiful rose garden
I cannot think of a better tribute as you put his Roses by his photo
Very moving
I am beginning to understand my own personality through Lock Down and to a certain extent we are products of our parents and childhood
I think it is best to remember the positive aspects of our Fathers
Mine lived to be 83 but he was assaulted in his home by one of his tenants and he went on to live just over seven years
This is when I came in to manage his personal responsibilities
But in retrospect I can see he was very ill and a vulnerable person which I expect is the driving force which compels me to persevere in my career aims
I hope you are keeping well
I love Roses and may be I will do another flower arrangement in the next few days
