Today is the eighteenth Father’s Day without Dad. Well. That’s not really true, we’re not without him exactly, he just isn’t physically here.
But he’s around. There’s not a day I don’t think of him.
He was definitely taken from us too soon, but he still had a wonderful life full of the people and adventures he loved.
I think he’d be 92 now and that would have been fun to see. I bet he’d be a dynamic 92 year old, still full of funny stories and handyman skills.
Miss you, Dad, on Father’s Day and every day.

Our dads might be gone but they are always in our hearts. We have our memories and pictures of them to remind us how special they were. My dad passed away almost 8 years ago.

I’m sorry. It’s hard to lose a parent, no matter how much time you have together.

Lovely tribute to your dad on this 18th Father’s Day without him.
Funny, I’m writing a post about mine – whose been gone half the time of yours. We never stop missing them – well, when they were good men, like ours were. xo

Dawn, I’m sure your dad is close by — at least in spirit. I know you must miss him terribly, perhaps more this year since Katie, too, is gone. And yes, we think of them Every. Single. Day. Perhaps that’s what keeps them close by. Lovely tribute to your dad!

He has a lovely expression. It’s easy to see what an inspiration he is for you. I have a similar wonder about my dad – what would he have been like at 90? No handyman skills, that’s for sure, but I hope he’d have kept on walking. It might seem strange to hope about something that didn’t happen, but that’s what we’re left with.
