Remembering my dad this Father's Day

Tweet

First off Happy Father's day to all the awesome Dads on here. I hope you will be spoiled on your special day because you deserve it. Everybody on here who still has your fathers in your life I hope you get to spend time with them tomorrow whether in person or on the phone. To those who no longer have your Dad's with you, my thoughts are with you. Father's day is a difficult day when your Dad is gone but they will live on in our hearts forever. I lost my Dad in October 2000. I can't believe how quickly the years have gone by. It still hurts as much today as it did back then. It is a pain that just never really goes away but one I have learned to live with. Nobody truly knows that pain until they have lost a parent. It is a part of you that you can never get back. It changes you forever. He was such an amazing Dad and Grampie. He was always there for usnand there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t have done for me or my mom or sisters. We were his girls. We could never have asked for a better father. I only hope he knew how much we loved him and how much he meant to all of us. So many things have changed in our lives since that day. So many memories I wish he could have been here to share with me. He is never really far away. He is always with me, always in our hearts, always in our thoughts, always watching over me. He was only 68 years old when he passed away in his sleep. He was taken so suddenly. None of us seen it coming, none of us were prepared, none of us were ready to let him go. I still find it difficult to look at his pictures without tearing up. What I wouldn’t give to spend one more day with him. To see his face, to hear his voice, to see his smile, to hug him close, to never have had to let him go so soon. I think of him often and Father's Day is always a difficult day.
