hi! its been years since my dad passed on but I have always treasured fond memories of him, Fathers' Day or not. I know how it feels to lose a father, but the beautiful memories always fill in the gaps. Its all we got to celebrate on Fathers' Day..

My father aplso passed away a few months ago. This is going to be the first Father's day we'll have... without him. We well be visiting him at the cemetery for that day. Also, we might dine out for dinner like we usually do on most Father's Day.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. My best advice for you is to celebrate with him in spirit. Think of him on Father's Day. I know that some of my family members visit their father's grave site on Father's Day. Maybe take flowers or something of meaning to put on his grave stone?

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, it could be a very trying weekend for you, I lost my father at a very young age and was blessed with a step father, however that does not mean that I do not still honor my dad on fathers day. I try and do things in his memory, things he would have liked, I used to take flowers to his grave site, but because of distance between where I live now and where he is buried i can no longer do that. I do make certain that I have some quiet time every Fathers day to remember him
