I know it is for me.....On June 23rd it will be 2 months that my dad has died.
He passed away from cancer at home. My brother and I were his caregivers and were with him when he passed away. He was 62. My mom passed away 5 years ago at 57. How ironic it is that they both passed away in April, 5 years apart. I miss them both so much and I know Sunday will be really tough. Just yesterday I was thinking that I have to call dad. It has been nearly 2 months and I still think that way from time to time. I have been through this with my mom so I have been there and it is not easy. Hugs to everybody.....

my dad passed away on mother's day in 1998 and there are times that i think of something and think that i should call and tell him about it. father's day is always hard for me, even though i am lucky and my mom is still alive, i realize on father's day how much i miss my dad.. my 17 year old son passed away may 14th of this year, so i figure that i have given my dad a father's day gift.. one of his precious grandchildren that he loved so much... on father's day try to remember the good times that you had with your dad.. i take out pictures and remember when they were taken and the fun that we were having.. just remember that you now have two special angels looking out for you

i pray that you will find peace on father's day

My dad had a massive heart attack at age 56 on April 4th this year... died right in front of me. Well, technically he was still alive, but he was gone. I hear people griping about having a hard time finding something to get their dads for Father's Day.I called the flower shop today to order flowers to put on my dad's grave. I burst into tears while I was ordering them... all the questions about what I wanted, how much I wanted to spend, I just couldn't take it. The lady on the phone totally got it though, she asked me "this must be for Father's Day and your first one without him."
