How will I be able to get through tomorrow?

I have been avoiding everything to do with Fathers Day like the plague, I ordered 2 lots of flowers months ago, so I knew I would have something to take to both lakes. We are going to the lake where dh actually died tomorrow to take the flowers and then going on to the lake where we scattered his ashes , which is owned by a friend with the 2nd arrangement, so should be a little easier (if anything can be) ... I have been in pieces for weeks just walking past shops with fathers day cards in them and I broke down on Friday when I picked ds up from Playschool, everybody was collecting the fathers day cards their dc's had made - that started me off and hen when I got to ds's card it just said "to someone special" I actually collapsed on the floor in tears, sobbing I was so ... Anyway that's it really, just not sure how I will do it tomorrow - my mum & dad have gone on holiday, my sister has gone on holiday, so it's just the dc's and I, but we will get through the day, we have to, we have managed the last 9 months

thinking of you and your children today mummy2TandF and I hope it goes as well as can be.

I lost my Dad on Father's Day 3 years ago and this time of year is always full of mixed emotions for me.

Such a sad day for you all, I feel for you, it was bad enough going to the cemetery this morning with my Dad flowers, I always used to get him something funny for Fathers Day, miss him so much xxx

Thank You for your thoughts everyone, it was a hard day as you can imagine, but we got through it. DS enjoyed letting his balloon off and when he did he said "Hello Daddy, here is a balloon for you, Happy Fathers Day" and then he said to me, when the balloon comes down will it bring Daddy back with it BUT the main thing is we got through it.
OJ - Sorry I missed you on MSN last night, was thinking of you as we put Craigs flowers down, we both got through the day though and I hope you had a rum last night x
