Remembering loved ones no longer with us.

[Gemini]

What a lovely thought Zizi, and nice idea for a thread.

I remember my lovely dad, gone from us for 5 years now. Especially as his birthday is June 22nd. It was always close to Fathers Day, sometimes on it.

Lovely idea, here's to all the Fathers we loved so much. When I get home I'll scan a photo of him and put it here XXX

Thank you Zizi for this thread xxx

I still, after all these years, talk to my dad when something good happens. I remember when I got my first "good" car, a metallic paint pea green Peugeot convertible. I drove to work the following day and was talking to him saying "look at me daddy, look at me". I light candles for him when we go on holiday and go into churches and say "here you are Dad, on holiday with us". Husband always says "yes Norman and it is your turn to buy the drinks" . I do always give him a playful smack but I wish my dad was there to share a drink.

Like you Oma my dear Dad died young at the age of 48.I was just about to start at Grammar school and I think his death has affected my whole life.These days I'm sure I would have been offered counselling as I was only 11 at the time.God bless you Daddy.

My dear dad died at the relatively young age of 65 (my age now) suddenly of a heart attack as he and mum were packing cases to go on holiday. It was 33 years ago but still remember the shock and disbelief of that early morning phone call. Oddly enough my OH is very much like him in personality....

Funnily enough Skye my OH is similar in nature to my dad too. My Dad meant the world to me. I miss him dearly. Love you dad.💋

[Daisy]

Grauntie Mag, I'm so sad for you. There's no pain like the loss of someone special. Big hugs. xxx

Thank you all so much. I have watched her fade away after 18months of hell. She was the bravest person I know, and the best friend. I should be glad her suffering is over but I am finding it hard to imagine this world without her.
