Yesterday was my dad's birthday.He passed away a year and a half ago.I really miss him on days like yesterday.I miss him everyday of course but on his birthday and holidays it seems to be worse.

Yes, I know exactly what your feeling. My Dad passed away Dec 11, 2007. Christmas was a very bad time and his birthday was Feb 2nd. That was bad. Fathers day will not be a good holiday either. No matter how long its been that they passed it still hurts.

I agree with NannaB, My Dad died in 1992 and I still miss him like it was only a month ago. Since then I have lost my Mum in 2002. I still feel in some way they are with me, in the things they passed on to me as I grew up.Sometimes I seem to get a message of encouragement through things that only they and me knew about. Like when I picked up an autumn leaf while walking in the woods with Mum. I pressed it and still have it. but a few times now I have found an odd leaf in very strange places with no explanation.It is true that Love never dies, and that golden thread is still attatched.

I know what you mean. We had to bury my Dad 5 days before Christmas. So every year Christmas is a sad time, his birthday and Father's day. The regular days aren't as bad now, but the different holidays always will be. Take care, Cheryl

The 17th Feb was my Dad's 70th birthday, a birthday that he had been longing to see, but sadly did not. But that still did not stop us all gathering together, including some of his friends, to celebrate and take time to share some funny and memorable stories about him. It was a fantastic day, but his absence was so overwhelming. Happy birthday my wonderful Dad. X

I spent the day with my mom and we talked about my dad.

I know what you mean. My mom died only three months ago, but I am already dreading Easter, my first without her. This will be a year of firsts for me.......XX
