I Miss My Dad

Hello, I accidentally ended up on your site while looking for a sorrow card to send someone.

My father is gone, also and it has been 12 years now. We weren't close in the huggy, lovey, kissy way, but I sat on his lap until just a few months before he died. As a little girl I used to help him in the garden, build with him in the garage, help him pour cement for sidewalks, go shopping for mom and just about everything else. I was daddy's little girl.

When he died, it was like a huge hole entered my life and I had to keep walking around it. I felt that if I got too close, it would suck me into No-Man's Land and I would never regain my sanity. My brother died just 3 yrs. before dad. My brother was just 49 and there were only two of us kids.

One of the things that I found that helped me the most was buying a huge candle and decorating it with a special ring of flowers and then I would light it when I missed them so much I couldn't stand it, or on special occasions. Then, somehow, it seemed to help a little and I felt they knew how much they were missed.

My heart goes out to you. The grief never stops, but it becomes more bearable with time. My best wishes to you at this Christmas time. I know it's hard. Remember that you aren't alone...and I think the web site you made, out of sorrow, is the greatest tribute to your father that any son could make. Sincerely,

Deborah Owen
