I miss my Dad

I lost my Mum over four years ago. I think about her every day. When I leave the flat to go out I always say '' look after the place Mum''...

I lost my Dad too very unexpectedly when i was 18 but i take comfort in knowing that i get she shape of the nails on my hand from him.... ive also got his birthmark too.

I lost my 'Other Dad' too when i was 36. He was not my biological Dad of course but he was a fantastic substitute and a wonderful Grandfather to my 5 children.

I miss them both terribly but you cant take away whats in my heart.:)

Aw, your post made me shed a tear. I lost my dad 8 years ago and I miss him like mad every day. He battled cancer for a year until ultimately he lost the fight. He never saw me get married, or move into my new house. He would have been so proud. Even now, I catch myself thinking “Oh, I must tell Dad something or other,” and then realise he isn’t here.

Sending you (((hugs))) WWDIT.

I lost my Mum 7 years ago yesterday. The day before she died she asked me if I was sure I was doing the right thing. I was about to spend another 2 years studying to give myself a career change. 7 years later, I am teaching on the same course that I studied and love my work, have a wonderful husband and a very cute baby boy. I wish she'd been here to share with me how well everything turned out.

Oh bless you, a daughters love for her dad is something special. He is the first man she falls in love with so its such a special relationship! You were lucky to have a lovely dad - so am I, but my husband didnt have that and when his died all his hopes of ever having that special bond died too.

At least you have the lovely memories you made together but it is hard to lose someone special from your life. Even now I can cry when I think about my lovely grandparents who helped make my childhood so special. I haven't got a solution to how youre feeling right now but I do have empathy with you. What would your dad say to you right now if he could see you? I expect it would be something along the lines of chin up my love, you've had a cry now get yourself together and get on with having a good life, so I can see that I did a good job of being a dad x

I still dream of him nagging me to wash the car And it's a joy to hear his voice in my dreams, even if he is naggin me

Love to all of you who have suffered a loss.

I lost my wonderful father two years ago after a battle with vascular dementia and my beloved nan earlier this year to a stroke. Now there is only me and my mum left of my immediate family.

I take comfort in the fact that my dad and nan would have loved to see me so happy and settled with my OH, and as long as I keep them in my heart they will never truly leave me

Aaaaw bless - I miss my Dad too & he's been dead for 24 years! On a few occasions I've even thought that I must tell Dad ..... even after all this time. You'll always be part of that great man & have his blood flowing through your veins, be proud to have known him. Love your sig, sounds like your lovely daughter will always be there x

I lost my daddy 22 years ago 13 days after my 5th birthday so I have very limited memories of him.

My mum, me & my brother (he was only 9 months) talk about him all the time and my mum has told us so much about him that I feel I have an idea of what kind of man he was. However I can't hear his voice at all even though I have watched videos of him often.

I think of him everyday too & no matter how much time passes it still gets me (tearing up a bit now tbh). I especially miss him when I'm at festivals or gigs (especially Iron Maiden) because me & my brother have both developed his deep love of music.

It's my Wedding next April & I think that is going to hit me hard. I have decided to walk down the aisle on my own as there has never been another man in my life who has replaced my daddy (my mum never re-married).

Even now I still call him daddy as he never got the chance to change into dad to me (if that makes sense). My mum has a ritual of if anything goes wrong, we loose something or we want something really badly she just tells us "have a word with your dad" and scary thing is it works lol!

I will always miss him but I know one day I'll see him again and that's all that matters plus the fact I always get the feeling he is still around.

The ones we lose are always with us in some way

Faith, why not get your mum to walk you down the aisle and give you away? I'm hoping if (hopefully when...) I get married that my mum will do that.

The music video for Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickelback nearly killed me the first time I watched it...but it also made me smile in a way.
