For many out there today is a day to celebrate, and if that is you I wish you the happiest Father's Day ever!
For others, however, today will be a more poignant and possibly painful day. If that is you, have a hug from me x This day will pass xx
I love you |

Thank you, I love you too xx
It's a mixed day for me. It's a celebration that my daughters are happy and healthy.
My closest friend is enduring her dad's final days (cancer) it may well be that he does not make it through today. My heart is hurting for her. |

My father was born in 1918. If he were alive today he wouldn't be dead. He was the absolute best thing in my life but selfishly he left me when he was only 82.
It was always Father's Day for me. We didn't wait for Funky Pigeon.
I am who I am and who I am is cos of my Dad. xxxxx |

My daughter started as a twin, she's now an only child. It was a long time ago and I am reconciled, but I do sometimes wonder how things might have been.

"Well said, Jennie. This is a tough day for many. "
Hopefully the fact that there are those of us that understand will bring some small comfort to those who need it x |

A fathers duty is built on trust
Love borne from golden star dust
To be there whenever needed
Providing advice not always heeded
Once a father you become
Stepping out from the shadows of the sun
You are longer the most important person in your life
To be on hand to assist with all the troubles and strife
This role gleefully accepted with no real training
Peppered with doubts and a degree of complaining
There are no material rewards for this life long role
Save for those that are destined for your soul
As for those that can only remember in their minds eye
Whose Time has sadly passed by
Remember those yesteryears
No doubt with joyful tears
So if you are able and possibly can
Go and see your old man
Take a card and a bottle of old spice
Give him a hug not once but maybe twice
A fathers love in my experience is so dear
After the hugs and old spice gift take the old man for a cool cool beer! |

My dad died 29 years ago next month…. I was on ops in NI and found out a day later.
I miss him but still do Father’s Day, I still have a beer like I would if he was still alive. But I also have my daughter who looks forward to spending the day with me doing cool stuff.

Thank you.
Its a bit of a mixed day for me. Lost my dad 12 years ago and his dad a few weeks ago. My dad was only 52.
I'm also sad for my boys that their dad isn't in their life and makes no effort to be. I always feel so guilty that I choose so poorly.
However equally I think I'm pretty proud of the fact Im mum, dad and grandparents to my boys, they are all incredible young men who may one day become amazing dad's or partners. Full of respect, compassion, kindness and love.
I know I'm very lucky. |

Any man can be a father.
It takes a special person to be a dad.

I think many of us have had those moments for a variety of reasons x |

Days like this make me reminisce about my dad in the garden, creosoting the fences with his top off.
He loved his garden and pond,and still kept doing what he could even after a tumour in his head operation. |

"My children have had 11 fathers days without their amazing dad here to celebrate with. He just wanted to watch them grow up
I feel very sad for children who lost their dad way too early x"
He was a good egg. Just finished 30 months of chemo and all was meant to be positive, looking forward. Unfortunately all the chemo damaged his heart and it couldn’t be fixed. He died age 32 a few weeks after our son turned two. Our daughter was five. Life can be so cruel sometimes.
Big love to you too x |
