Happy Father's Day to everyone
Happy Father's Day to everyone. I lost my own dad when I was almost three years of age. I lost my step-dad when I was nine or ten. I haven't had a father figure for many years. I never had to celebrate Father's Day at all until I had my own child. We celebrated her dad. Now my own daughter is a mother and they are celebrating her husband Grant's Father's Day. It was one of those things that I missed out on in this life. I am sure there are many who are llike me and many who were lucky enough to celebrate things like Father's Day. All the best to everyone and my condolences to those that have lost their own dad or husband or special partner from Diane

Diane - what do you remember of your dad? I lost David last year and his son, Jack, was 3. I wonder what he will remember? I am not allowed to be in his life anymore (even tho I helped raise him since he was 6 mos old) but i want to know what would be helpful to him when he grows up. Do you mind telling me what you would have liked to have known about your dad? What you would like to have? I\'ve kept a journal for Jack. I have clothes, letters, tools, tons of pictures, some video, even some of david\'s hair. Is this weird or stupid? I just don\'t know. I would so appreciate if you could share anything pertaining to your situation with me. Much love to you and I\'m sorry for all your losses. You\'ve had a lot in your life.

I am sorry that you lost your dad so young, Diane. My parents divorced when I was 7, then my dad was out of my life forever since I was 9. My mother later remarried, but after she died when I was 14, my stepdad an drifted apart. His next wife would not let him have anything to do with me. Tony and I never had children, so Father\'s Day has never affected me much, either. Neither has Mother\'s Day. I am glad you have your son-in-law to keep the tradition in your family.
