Maggy my thoughts are with you as you remember your Dad time seems to go by so fast these days,

Thanks Joyce

HI Maggy

I don't think we've spoken before, extends hand of friendship, hi I'm Shimmer

Oh honey, I am so feeling for you. I lost my beloved daddy at the end of January, know how I feel, am so hugging you,

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

One arm around your shoulder, my other holding your hand.

Have you got a memory box? When I am feeling 'blue', I go to mine, sit there with my memories, walk down memory lane.

Am here if you need someone.

Take care my love

Thinking of you Maggie xx

Thinking of you on this sad day Maggie, but think of the good times you had together too.

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love

Oh Maggy, how that year has gone so fast. I remember you telling us about it and it only seems like yesterday.. Hope that you have had a "nice" day considering. And that you have beeen recalling many happy memories of your Daddy.

Love and hugs to you

Hello Maggy

I lost my dad last year on 11th April, its still very painful.
He was a lovely man, didnt show his feeling often but he loved us.

Pollypoppet, what a beautiful poem

Maggy, sometimes a year seems short and sometimes long, time plays tricks on us and we miss our loved ones so much. Every year things will get a little easier to bear and it's good to think of happy memories and not dwell on the sad parts. It's almost 14 years since my Mum went and 19 since I lost my Dad and time has eased the loss altho I still miss knowing they are there to talk with and share things with. It's part of life's pattern however, and our own ancestors felt the pain of their losses as we do today, altho most of them probably didn't have as long with their families as we do today with modern medicine and such.
One day you will be part of the ancestral chain too, but many years hence and a much wider family circle all the time.

love

Thanks for your kind words everyone.

Mum took us out for a meal today to say thank you for the last year, bless her.

We had a good time and laughed because dad would have hated it...lol.. He would never go out for a meal of any kind, so mum's doing it now!

Maggy, that was exactly the way to mark the day, so good you could have a laugh, and how lovely that your Mum can enjoy meals out now and can show her appreciation of all your help and support. That's what families are for!

Thinking of you today Maggie, remember the good times, and that he is free from pain and in a much better place. Bless you XX..

Hi Maggy.

Sorry I missed this.

Glad you had a nice meal out with your Mum and family.

I will get easier with time, but as you probably are beginning to realize things will never be quite the same again.

Remember the good times.

Maggy,

I have not been around for a bit so did not see your thread.
I lost my Dad on the 16 April 2000 and it does get better with time.

(((( Hugs )))

Thanks again everyone.
