Hugs to all. I lost my dad 27 years ago at the age of 45 to lung cancer. I miss him dearly. He only got to see one of his 12 grandchildren. He died just a month after his first bday. My stepdad died a year and a half ago.

My dad died in March 2013, three months after my mother died in December 2012 (three days before Christmas). It felt (and still feels) as though I didn't mourn my father properly at the time, I was still overwhelmed with grief at the loss of my mother. It all caught up with me many months later.
It's hard to believe it's been over 3 years. I still miss them every day, and avoid Facebook on Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Yes, it's always a hard day for me. Been 5 years now, and it still stings. He was taken way to soon. I only had 29 years with him.

{{{Huge hugs}}}
Thanks for starting this thread. I lost mine 22 years ago and this day is always hard. My fondest Father's Day memory was a few years before he passed. I can still see him banging his fist on the table in tune to all of us singing, "For he's a jolly good fellow" with a home made cake in front of him and big smile on his face.

It has been 34 years, I was 14 at the time. He was 57. Not a single person in my family or my husbands said a thing to me today. Only my BFF on facebook. My husband never acknowledges the day he died either. That really hurts, so I will be thankful when this day is over. Cynthia

Hugs for everyone missing their dads today. Mine has been gone for over 35 years and I still miss him. He was a great dad and I loved him dearly. FIL has been gone for 20 years. Also, it would have been MIL's 75th birthday, so my DH is missing both his parents today.

I lost my dad in august...he was only 70. Totally unexpected. I still have trouble believing he is gone. I talked to him last father's day and got a call a week later from his neighbor who found him unconscious. Almost died on the way to the hospital.Had some mini strokes and diagnosed with leukemia . They gave him 6 months. Was in rehab when platelets dropped...had another stroke in august and didn't survive that one. I miss him so much. I have a vm on my phone from him that I still listen to when I need to hear his voice.

My dad passed in March 2015. This year was easier than last year, but still sucks. Add to that DH's uncle came to church today, the first time he has been there since the memorial for his wife in November. It hard to see him so hurt and sad.
Hugs to everyone missing someone today.

I lost my dad 3 years ago. It was like any other day, here, since there is no dad or even a grandpa to celebrate with. Hugs to those who are missing their dads, too.

I am truly sorry to all of those for whom Father's Day has become a sad event instead of one to celebrate. I lost my dad unexpectedly in 2004 and still struggle with Father's Day. I celebrate my amazing DH and my sweet father-in-law and encourage DD to celebrate her dad and grandfathers, but it is still a difficult day. DD (age 11) and I shopped for cards for her dad and stepfather on Friday and I got a little teary reading them, even though it's been 12 years.

(((Hugs))) to everyone missing their dad.
Mine passed away on 9/11/2007. He was my best friend, and I miss him every day. I was 30, and he never got to meet my kiddos.

My Dad passed away 26 years ago this Wednesday- the day after my parents' 32nd wedding anniversary. He met most of his Grandchildren, but they do not remember him very well. My FIL passed away last September so DDs were sad as were my DH and I.
I have not read a Father's Day card since then. I bought by briefly reading the cover. I was so glad when DDs could shop on their own for them.
With him dying so close to Father's Day, we get constant reminders about Father's Day for weeks. This year I posted an old picture of him on FB and was glad I did. So many cousins and old neighbors commented. Otherwise, I would not have opened FB last week.

I lost my Dad in 1980 when I was just 7 years old. Father's Day, his birthday & the date of his passing are still really hard for me. I think the worst part is not having any real memories of him, I wonder what he would look like now, where he would be living (I know he & my mother wouldn't still be together) if he would be proud of me or even like me.
It's so hard & time has not made it any easier.
Hugs to you all with Dads in heaven ❤️

((Hugs)) to all those missing their dad. I lost my dad 4 years ago to a massive heart attack that came out of nowhere (no blood pressure/cholesterol problems, very healthy active guy). The last 4 years have been my most difficult as I have adjusted to our lives without my dads leadership, helping hands, and fierce love and ability to protect and provide for his family. Even though I have been married 16 years to a wonderful man, I still relied on my dad for so many things. I can smile now on Father's Day and feel blessed for having him as my dad, but, I know I will always feel like I am missing a piece of me and can't wait to see him again someday! Erin PS-thank you OP for giving us a place to remember our dads. :-)So much of this sounds like what happened to my dad and how I feel. He has been gone 22 years, but I miss him everyday, often many times a day.

I lost my dad 4 years ago and feel like it just happened yesterday. I was a daddys girl and always spend a lot of time with him. Even when I moved away we would talk a couple of times a day. I really miss his chats, his laughter and even his dumb jokes...I miss him very much.
