Missing my dad

ngagne

My dad passed away 5 years ago and this is a tough month.  19th was his birthday, now father's day, and the 26th is the 5th anniversary of his death.  I really am feeling sad that my baby will never know him.  My FIL is not nearly as wonderful of a man as my dad was and it makes me sad that this will be his only grandfather figure.  I keep having dreams that my boy is born with my dad's hilarious and joyful personality.  I wonder if that will happen....

 Love you dad!

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know that holidays and anniversaries are especially hard. It seems to me you have some of that joyful personality of your dad's and that will surely come through in your son. And you will be the one to tell him all about your Dad, so he knows.

I feel your pain. My dad passed away a little over 4 years ago. The 30th is his birthday.

I also feel sad that my baby will never know him, but my FIL is a great person and I'm glad he'll have him to look up to. I know there will be plenty of people that will tell my baby how great and loving a an he was.

If you want to talk about it more feel free to contact me.

I know how you feel.  My mother passed away July 4, 2001.  While the neighborhood was gaily shooting off fireworks, she was breathing her last.  The holiday lacks the fun it used to have for me.  I really tried to start a family before she died, but circumstances were against me making her a grandma at that point.  I wish she could be here for this.  I sure could use her advice and help.

I understand what you are going through. It is very "TUFF". I lost my only sister/sibling almost 9 years ago and wished she was here to share with me. I just lost my 76 year old Grandmother unexpectedly 1 week ago. This has bothered me worse in a way than my sister not being here. I guess the time frames have something to do with it. This would have been her first Great Grandchild. I am sad that I will never see her enjoy the baby or her reaction the first time she sees the baby. I have to know that it is ok and it was part of His plan. As far as my sister goes...a couple of weeks before finding out that I was pregnant I had a dream about my sister and we had a conversation (which happens occasionally). She was holding this baby in a beautiful white long blanket. I said what do you have? She said isn't she beautiful? I picked her out just for you.  I guess that is partially why I had to know or try to find out the babys sex. It is a girl! I know that this baby growing inside my belly is in good hands.

Your baby will have something of your father, I am sure! Just as my baby will have something of my sister and grandma.
