Thanks Dan
I'm missing my dad, (I miss my mum too)
That song made me cry, but it was beautiful.

JVL1018 I'm so sorry, I'll keep you in my thoughts




Happy fathers day to all the Dis Dads

As another poster said, my real dad was nothing but a loser. I was fortunate enough to get a great step dad though and to me, he is the one that deserves the title of being called, Dad!! Here are the lyrics to a song that remind me of him.
<B>
He Didn't Have To Be: Brad Paisley.
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new,
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview.
An' my momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone,
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run.

I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old.
He took my mom out to a movie and for once, I got to go.
A few months later I remember lying there in bed,
I overheard him pop the question, and I prayed that she'd say: "Yes."

And then, all of a sudden,
Oh, it seemed so strange to me,
How we went from something's missing to a family.
Lookin' back, all I can say,
About all the things he did for me,
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad,
That he didn't have to be.

I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago,
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more.
Now, here I stand surrounded by our family and friends,
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in.

And now, all of a sudden,
It seems so strange to me,
How we've gone from something's missing to a family.
Lookin' through the glass,
I think about the man that's standin' next to me.
And I hope I'm at least half the dad,
That he didn't have to be.

Lookin' back all I can say,
About all the things he did for me,
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad,
That he didn't have to be.

Because he didn't have to be.
You know, he didn't have to be. </B>

He's gone now too and I hope he and my Mom are having a grand time together in Heaven. I miss them both so much!

Very nice Dan.
My stepfather is the best, always treated me like his own, and is always there for me.
My father could never be bothered, was never in my life NEVER. Also never visited, never called, never even sent a card, still doesn't.
Can you guess who got wished a Happy Fathers Day?

 

[JVL1018]

Thank you for the condolences. {{{{{}}}}}

Dan,
Thanks for posting....I miss my dad, too.
My sister and I went to the cemetery early this morning to plant some flowers.
He died of cancer when I was 15.

I'm sure our dads are watching us, and proud of us.

Sorry about your Mom JVL.

Thanks, Dan! I LOVE that song. One of my favorites that make me think of my Dad. I successfully distracted myself today from the thought of it being Father's Day. Took DS with me to an Arts Festival at the Boardwalk. Had a GREAT time! But now home, thinking of DH and Dad who are both gone. I'm not going near the rest of the list that's gone.

Happy Father's Day...Dad!

Happy Father's Day...Keith!

Love,
Sandy and Richard

I still have my Dad, thankfully. But my Mom died Wednesday. What a shock, it still seems unreal.
My heart goes out to all of you who have lost a parent, you don't know how much it hurts until you have it happen.

I'm so sorry, JVL. P.S. Your kids are adorable!! GREAT picture!

Thank you..and thank you!
I was going to get the kids to decorate a frame with Firefighter stuff(DH is in his fire uniform there though you can't tell) and put the pic in for Father's Day..but with all that happened I never got around to it. Maybe we'll do a do-over Father's Day on July 20th!

So very sorry, Vicki. My condolences.

I never read this thread the whole way through till just now. I am so sorry you lost your mom. You're right that no one understands the pain until it happens to them.
