First of all, Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, here.
But - not everyone has their Daddy - I miss mine so very much -

.. . ... the happy sounds of celebrating
as children everywhere fete their
Daddies, giving cards, ties, other gifts
in appreciation. What about
those that don't have paternal guidance
or their loved one has passed on? We, the
father.Less. It's just another day
to be reminded that they're not here .. . ...
You shouldn't be sad, because you had a loving father for many many years, which guided, protected and said "I love you" when you sat on his lap, remember it and that many of us weren't so lucky.
Dear Karla my dad passed away ten years ago but believe me they are always here, for I keep him in my heart and he can't get much closer then that. Thank you for sharing.

Karla, my father passed away three years ago this coming September, and although he is no longer here in person, I always feel him near in spirit. Hugs to you.
Daddy will always be with us; he lives on in our hearts and minds. We will never forget him; he was the bestest daddy we could have ever wanted or asked for! God blessed us with him, and remember: God is our Abba Daddy, so we are NOT "Father.less"! :)
Excellent write; brava!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <
sad as it may seem, i was father less even when he was there ... it is not the duration of having a father but the quality his love when he's around ...
Karla I am not fatherless, but my heart goes out to those who are, please know that you always have the comfort of your Heavenly Father
God Bless

I, too, am fatherless - have been since I was eight. My father died of cancer at age 30. I often wonder what my life would have been had he lived. Sometimes, I have dreams that he never really died, but had just gone away and finally decided to return. My thoughts are with you.
I know you are in pain for it does feel like we are deserted when these times come when our parents pass on. But you are not alone, he is looking down and guiding you each and every day with love and caring.

The only father's day card now I'm giving is to my hubby, but in my heart I know my daddy and my father-in-law will both have their special day in heaven.
Thank you Karla, for sharing this!!!

I don't mean to be harsh, Karla, but what about those of us whose fathers were violent and abusive, who murdered their mother, then committed suicide (on father's day). We still have to grow up and leave the past behind.

Or Yet, another day to remember when they were here and the many blessings that they brought over the years to our life. Dwell on those precious memories as I know he would want you to. Well Done! Deborah
My dear Karla,
I understand just how you feel. Fathers day is almost a painful event these days other than the love of my children. My own father passed on this day eleven years ago today and my wifes father died forty years ago today! But Gene is right, they are here, as our memories live as long as we do. Love you much and know that your daddy is smiling right now and bragging about you and your dear sister! He's talking to my father about you this very minute.

May the Lord Bless you in a most trying time, your first Father's Day without your Dad. It's hard I know. Keep him always in your heart.
Much love,
