it's Been 18 Years...and I miss my Dad

Hi, So sad to hear that your dad has passed away. Both you and your mother should be strong and stay happily now. That was the past and I believe your father does not want to see you guys look sad. If you really miss your dad, pay him a visit at his cemetery. I believe he must be happy to see you there too.

Hello Anne25, I miss my grandpa, but if he wasn't a regular smoker he would have lived to this day. as for your Dad, i guess my brother should start dieting soon, knowing that he might risk having a diabetes as well. it's not loosing some one we cared for, specially if they're parents. but we should cherish the things we used to have with them

I am so sorry. That is really sad. I can understand you missing him, of course, he was your dad! I think it can be really hard to get over missing someone you love, no matter how many years it has been. I hope you enjoyed the cake and celebrating his day. Hopefully you and your mom were able to talk about the good times and some wonderful memories you have of your father. :-)

oh your post made me very sad because I remember my dad too, it's been 17 years now since he passed away,My parents celebrated their anniversary this Valentine's day and my dad's birthday is on the 19th which is also my wedding anniversary. He taught me a lot of things and a lot of what I know I owe to him. He was such a good provider to his children and always valued the importance of education. Always wished I could have been a better son, so to return the good things he gave us I try to do in the best of my ability to emulate him in raising a family

It must be so hard without one of your parents. I can't imagine my life without them. I'm glad you had the strength to carry on during your tough days. God bless you

I somehow share the same situation as yours. Actually, I've last seen my dad in 1996 when I was still a sophomore high school student. Its been 15 long years since I havent heard of his whereabouts. But I have some source that he's back in his home country. Im a half Filipino and an half Portuguese-Sri lankan. He's quite old now and Im still looking forward to meet him him. I somehow have hurts why he left me and my family but I will always remain as his boy, as many say, Im his carbon copy. I really miss him to the extent of seeing him even in my dreams. I know there will come a time when I will meet him and that all depends in God's proper time.

I'm so sorry you lost your dad so soon. I don't know what I would do without my dad. I'm glad though that your relationship with your mom seems close.

Thats very sad. I miss mine too. It has been about the same time for me. My mum now lives with us and it was sad to celebrate Valentine's Day with my husband knowing that she was sad missing my dad. He used to really spoil her on Valentine's Day.

Well, It's really misses our Dad. Because it's really hard for having no Dad. I am 12 year's old when my dad past away... Were trying to survive in difficult times and we manage to success it. But if I think about my Dad. I still feeling lonely because he never see us on our statute in life to day...

Well you just take day by day and do what you need to do. I know its a sad thing for you and i know you wish it never happened and you rmom probably made your day not to much better by having you bring a cake home to remember the past and how things were. I hope you have a better day or week ahead of you and just do what you have to do. Be strong.

i am sorry. i've lost several family members and friends and when dates like that come around it hurts. i think you should visit the grave to say goodbye.

I lost my husband to cancer almost five years. he was helped by hospice care near the end. some members of the hospice staff offered that when loved ones pass, their birthdays are often remembered by family and friends with a cake., it is a way to honor and celebrate the one they miss.

Sorry and deep sorrow dear friend... There is nothing to tell you to come out of the feeling... Anyway take care of your mom and don't feel about what happened.. Parents are very precious in the world than anything..

A sad memory will haunt you very long. You need to have a plan to visit grave your father. Please visit him to comfort his soul ! You will escape from the obsession that. You will live better. He will bless you !!!

i dont think that feeling ever goes away to be honest. my dad has only been gone 2 years and i still miss him lots.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I understand 100% that you feel sorry and miss him a lot. I have a friend, who lost his dad, when he was 15 years, so it's only one year ago. It was a hard time for him, and he was very sorry months later.
