So at last we said goodbye to Dad, it was a lovely funeral and it was noted that the love was felt as the service was held. Going to Dads house and seeing everything in the house just waiting for him is difficult I sometimes go round and sit in his chair to be near him and I just stare at his cap Life sucks at the moment
Condolences Minxie .. Jan321, so sorry. My husband left for another woman and married her. For years he did not want to know our children. It was 'meet me at McDonald's ', never invited them to his house. Now that he is in his 70s he's trying to build a relationship with them....my daughter has fallen for it, but the boys cannot forget how he ignored them in the early days of separation. Mind you, she was always a daddy's girl.
minxie it matters little how old we get, our dads are still so very special, and when they leave us we rightly feel lost and alone. I will continue to miss mine every day of my life.
seacliff I too have 'everyday' diaries, right up to 2 days before he died and they comfort me.
