I don't want to turn your thread into something too moody, but father's day is marred in our family because my granddaughter's father killed himself on that day; that and with his birthday being on Christmas day, he left a hard legacy for us.

Will remember my Dad and Hug my Children's Dad.....

My dad died, but fathers day doesn't upset me any more- I light a candle for him and wish everyone else have a lovely day I do often wonder what I'd buy him if he were alive.. I'd love to buy him dinner and have a chat

xx

One of those big havanna cigars my dad liked and he was partial to a glas of wine.

Me too.........reckon we would have a lovely chat too...........

thanks syd. She copes very well by leaving all sorts of thing on his grave, it's the dates that make it harder.

I no longer have a dad (physically - but he's still here in my mind and walks with me every day)

 

but, my children still have their lovely dad (thank the lawd, coz I am married to him!), and I will give a lot of thought to the presents that I will buy him and wrap up and give to them to give to him

Mine too Sweet

DITTO!

 

It's been twenty one years ..............I often wonder what life would be like if he was still around. He was the archetypal patriart of the family .........it all went a bit crazy when he died. I think he'd have been so proud of his grandchildren and would have loved all of his 8 great grandchildren who he never met. I'll be thinking of him on Fathers Day ............58 years old is no age to die ...............it didn't seem soooooooooooo young the.

 

It does now!

Thinking about it more......I would love to talk about our past with him, and his past with him, things that we were to busy living to discuss......

This is my 1st Fathers Day without my Dad. Dreading it.  Hate seeing all the Fathers Day card displays in the shops and the related advertising.  (Was the same last year when I lost my mother at New Year.)

 

 

 

Your Dad is with you and your husband and Grandchildren through you, and you remembering him....xxx 

my old man, on his cloud,would be telling me to shut up moaning

get on with it

lol

Just read the replies to this thread which have arrived while I typed my post on my own DAD thoughts.  I thought I could talk about him but him but I cant.  Goodnight.

 

Hugs to all of you

 

Apologies pirate1111.

 

Oooooooooooooooh thats hard - losing both your parents so close together 

 

I'm very lucky to still have my mum ...................she more often than not drives me mad but I don't know what I'd do without her!

Remember the good times and pass them on....xxxxxxx

i cant cheer you up on that one-but dont be miserable-think about all the good stuff x

Awww SB..... Just try to  concentrate on all the good times you had together.... 

I know how you feel.My dad died in November so it's my first Fathers day without him too,it's heartbreaking that instead of buying him a card and present I'll be buying him a wreath and going to his grave.

Quite right too....xx

didnt mean to start a maudlin (sp) topic

just dont give your old man hai karate

 

sorry

Remembering my Dad is good.......thank you for reminding me XXXXX

*cartwheels through thread commando stylee*

 

blimey,

didnt realise so many of us had lost our dads

 

well BIG UP to our old men eh?

 

dont get down

See, I hate threads like these! Sorry, and I don't want to get sad on everyone  

Too right pirate

 

Let's not be sad - if they were like my dad they were all flipping brilliant

 

SB it gets easier, eventually love never dies and memories remain in our hearts, but I promise that the pain weakens. Big hugs eceyone and a toast to all our lovely dads, looking down on us, and loving us still

well my dad is bigger than yours...FIGHT..lol

dads are kool

Never know what too buy my dad, but i love him too death, he is one of those men that will do anything for you but you try and buy anything for him he will go into one all mighty strop

 

Daughter on the other hand has now started too call her dad by his name instead of dad, she's old  too make her own choice's but i think it's so sad

Even tho he got on my wick by taking my makeup off me, and my cigs, and made me stay in, and turned Top of the Pops over.........

lol

DADS

i miss mine

i will always love and adore mine

couldnt understand a f*cking word he said mind

but he was MY dad

off to listen to blondie

my dad once got my mom to phone me to tell me DEBBIE HARRY

was appearing in coronation street

it wasnt

it was debbie arnold

 

bless

 

close though

What do you miss?

If there was a like button I'd be hitting it Brilliant post  

.. and why did dads always get mums to phone when they had something to say ? 

Cos Dad did'nt want to be seen as the "Ogre" and was easier to let "MUM" deal with it............maybe?

cos dads is clever innit lol

anyway

happy fathers day

to all our dads

x

Hope you is learning that it is not clever innit lol.....
