Hi

I am so sorry. I never met my biological father - the closest I had to a father-figure was my lovely grandad. I didn't appreciate him, or all that I owe to him, when he was alive.

Here's a quotation that I like:

Never say in sadness you are sorry he is gone,
Rather say in joy you are glad he was here.

Best wishes

Aunty Margaret

Big hugs from me too. My dearest Daddy died in 1980. I was the apple of his eye and i adored him.

I am thinking about you xxx

Hugs from me too. Cry with your daughter when you need to, even when you're remembering all the good things.

Big Hugs!

Big hug from me also. I lost my lovely Mum almost 3 years ago and although she was 84, it didn't make it any easier. I know she is still around me and I have had some lovely dreams where she came and spoke to me.

I know it is incredibly hard right now, but it does get easier. My Dad will be 90 next year so we won't have him forever, but I'm just making the best of every minute we have.

Try to remember him and smile, it's what you Dad would want. xxx

my thoughts and prayers are with you both at this sad time, I've not seen my father since i was 5 years old but my grandfather to me was my dad and was a truely remarkable man, the pain when he died was unbeleivable and i didn't like talking about my feelings and bottled them up, please don't feel isolateed at this time and remember that we are all here for you and your daughter.

You know when you hear about a disaster, or a tragedy somewhere in the world, and you can help in your own small way by donating some money? I wish that we could do the same with emotions - donate a little bit emotionally, by taking on a tiny bit of someone elses pain, just to make it a little easier for them. We all feel for you, and wish you the best xxx

Isn't that just a lovely thought? How nice would it be if we could all share each others pain.

Lots of love and hugs from me too. I have grown up without a father. My Grandad (who was my daddy in my eyes) died when I was 15 - omg - thats 18 years ago! My Nan died last year. I have teary eyes for you now at the thought of how difficult times are when you lose somebody so close.

I hope you can still stand and all these virtual hugs aren't weighing you down
