    Thanks :)
    He's never far away. You may not be able to see him or talk to him but he's always with you :)

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad. My dad's birthday is in July on a few day after my mom's birthday. Sometimes I'm okay but then other times like this year, I just couldn't deal with it. Last year, I had my best friend here with me. I had gone to visit my dad and I was sad, but after that my friend that was visiting from CA came over and cheered me up. I didn't have anything to keep my mind off of it this year. The last time I went to visit my dad's grave was on the anniversary of his death in February. I'm here if you need to talk too :)

    That doesn't sound weird at all. If I could drive myself I probably would have gone. If the roads by me weren't busy I probably would have just walked there considering the cemetary is only a few minutes away. I had gone last year, but I didn't stay long. I wanted to, but I know my mom was probably not wanting to stay long since I know it's hard for her too.

    Thanks. I'm sorry to hear that your husband lost his dad. It's never easy to lose a parent no matter what age you are. From what I heard from my mom he seemed to be getting better, but then he just passed away at the rehab he was staying at when he was recovering from the stroke. The last memory I have of him was playing Connect Four with him. Sure I was only 3 and a half and I wasn't really old enough to understand it, but I hated not being able to be around my dad and I missed him a lot.

    I feel your pain love, my dad died when I was seven. he had an accident at work and every year June is the worst. His birthday comes first then Fathers Day. I always take a card and a cake up to his grave every year and celebrate his life with him. I stay for a few hours, chatting away as if he's sat there with me. It makes it hurt a little bit less. My inbox is always open if you need a chat :)

    I'm really sorry about your father. It sucks to har lost him so young. Maybe you don't have to look at it that way. Maybe you can take the day to dedicate it to him, visit his grave and just sit and talk with him. I'm sorry if it sounds weird but it's what I did with my great grandmother's grave and it made me feel like she was there with me...you shouldn't dwell on his death but celebrate his life :) because he sounded like a great man

    Aw I'm so sorry hun. =/ I've always had a Dad even though he's never been around much and resents me for a lot of silly reasons, but I do love him regardless and would be sad if he died.

    My husband....his Dad died when he was 13. Even before that it was pretty painful to watch because his Dad was sick and slowly dying the whole time because he was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and no one had expected him to live that long. He was on dialysis and such so his mom had to work nearly three jobs to pay for everything.

    It was hard on him. He doesn't even like to go see his Dad's grave because it's too painful. I'm sorry for your loss hun and if you need someone to talk to, you can confide in me!
