have you told him that you love him? What do you plan on doing today to honor your dad? I lost my father to cancer this year. If I were you, I'd spend as much time as possible with your father today because you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Oh shoot you're making me wanna cry. I prayed for you this morning and all people who have lost or never knew their fathers, or whose fathers are distant or absent. YES my father is alive and over the years (I was bit by the acting bug a long time ago) if I needed to cry on cue, I'd think how I'd feel if I ever lost my Dad, the coolest most loving unique and original guy I've ever known. My dad had quadruple bipass surgery 2 years ago but is up and around still, thank God. His health is failing but I hope he stays around much longer. I will call him right now to tell him again how much I love him. I'll spend more time with him, too when I'm in my hometown to visit my family again next month. Thanks and God's Speed to You!

um... my dad is still among the living, but i'm not one of the ppl in his vicinity. in the summer he and my mom work on an island opposite the one my bro and i live on and in the winter my mom comes home and HE works in australia. so as u can tell, i never see my dad, even though i know he's there. i can't say i;m holding that against him, coz i know he's only doing it so that we can have a good life. he's doing it for us, but i still wish he were closer to us, at least for just a few weeks a year.
i still text messaged him today. and i'm gonna call him tonight, coz that's when he goes home from work.
i WOULD spend more time with him...if he was ever around. i'm just afraid that one day he won't be here any more and i wouldn't have had the chance to see him up close, kiss him on the cheek and hug him tight to say "i love u, dad". i would HATE for our last conversation to have been over the phone, but what's a girl to do?

Like you I also lost my father to cancer last year. My father didn't have a son only daughters, six of us, all married and living in different parts of the country. Three years back it was detected that he had cancer of the prostate that too at the last stage. We were shell-shocked 'coz my father was a very well-disciplined man in his habits, conduct and otherwise a truly great soul. We thought nothing bad can/should happen to him. Anyway, we sisters took turns to look after him and he was taken very good care of by my mother and us sisters. In his last legs i felt that our roles had been reversed -- he became our child and we all his mothers. He breathed his last on 11th jul'05 at the age of 78. We miss him always but are not distraught. We remember him lovingly for his strength of character and how he made sure to give his all daughters good education so we could stand on our feet with head held high.
We never told him verbally that we loved him but he knew it as we knew it that he treasured us.

my father died 12yrs ago and I think of him now more than i did wen he was alive.
He had been unwell for years and he was hard work for us who lived with him, but every body knew him, my friends, neighbours, local shop keepers, and they all loved him and thought he was great with a fantastic sense of humour, He kept his bad times and his pain in the house, along with the misery, which was tough. Me and my mother did not cope well in the end and the relationship was not a sympathic one.
Im not going to feel guilty for it. Its not worth it, Iv got to cope the best way I can. But I think because of this, it has allowed the good stuff I remember to come back, If I think to much a tear does come but then I laugh because underneath it all he was a kind loving man who I love very much. NOw Im crying, but not for long....

My dad's still alive and I tell him I love him every time I see/speak him :) Today I am going to spend the day at home with him and my family, he's going to grill supper and the family is going to spend the day together just loving each other.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, if I could share my father with you, I would! =)

My father lives in Europe, I called him twice this week to tell him that I loved him because I knew today would be busy.
Thanks for the advice.

My father is a waste of skin. He was never there for us and isn't there now. I hope he feels like the worthless piece of sh*t that he is on a day like today.
