HollyDay Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 1 year ago today, it was my father's birthday and he suffered a stroke. He died in March of last year. It is an odd feeling this year on what would have been his birthday. I bought his favorite cake and we had that this evening to remember. Mixed feelings tonight as last year this time we were waiting for calls from doctors and reports from scans. All his birthday plans were set aside last year as he was in the hospital then rehab. It was the start of a very stressful time of more strokes, hospitals, urgent trip home (I live quite far away from his home), decisions, and finally his funeral. It just feels odd......

Lucy in Australia Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 :grouphug: I'm so sorry... My Dad died a few months before the birth of my first, who is now nearly 17. I still get surprised by an unexpected pang of suddenly missing him really badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Dads are just irreplaceable. Luckily we have memories. The other day kiddo was sniffling in the dark and confessed he was sad about thinking that someday I would be dead. I told him, indeed, I would be but that I had a secret to tell him: that when two people have loved each other the way we have, you really aren't ever parted from them. It is a very good secret.
