Happy Birthday, Dad.

Today's my dad's birthday, the first since his death in April. I'm thinking of him much lately. It's weird. Weird that he's dead. Weird that time moves on, and the grief lessens. Weird that he feels further away, but sometimes closer, too.

Happy birthday to your dad. I found both my dad's birthday & mine (when he didn't call me) that first year excruciatingly sad.

Whenever I think of my Dad, it always amazes me how much time has gone by since his death (13+ years now) and how I still think, while watching something on TV or hearing a piece of music, "Gee, my Dad would like that. I should tell him..." and then reality.

Happy Birthday Daddy. You have been gone 13 years now. I miss your words but most of all I wish that you had been a better father and grandfather. I love you anyway.Happy birthday Curtis L. Thompson.

Hi... it'll be my dad's birthday tomorrow (8th) and he only died 8 weeks ago today. He was 52, and died of a sudden unexpected heart attack. I am his eldest of 22, i have a younger brother of 19, and my mum is 42. She is finding it hard enough, but the thought of his birthday tomorrow is killing us. I came online for some advice, and found some excellent ones on here, so thanks. xx

Oh, Jessflight, many hugs to you. This is a hard time, I know. My dad was too young to die (57), but we had two years to wrap up loose ends beforehand. I know how shocking his death was to us anyway. I can only imagine having to deal with all the feelings at once when I got to spread them out over two years. My thoughts to you and your family. Feel free to pop in here anytime.
