Thank you for posting this. My Dad died 3 weeks ago and this is my first Father's Day without him. Have to admit, I'm struggling - I miss him so much and wish I could press the fast forward button to get the healing process going. Also wish I could erase the recent painful memories of him so ill in hospital.

Thoughts and prayers for all the wonderful Fathers who aren't with us today.

That's released all the tears I've been holding in today

My Dad died in 2000, 3 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. I miss him each and every day, but rarely cry for him as I promised him I wouldn`t. I have to believe he is up there with my darling Matthew, and they are fine. Love you Dad xxxx

My dad died 4 weeks ago and I feel the same.... can't bring myself to click on the link as it may open the floodgates.

My love to all m'netters missing their dads today...

Thank you to all of you. I know millions of people around the world are in our situation (grieving for our dads) but it really helps to connect with some of you.

I spent the day in my dad's greenhouse potting up the plants he had sown as seeds just days before he died. It was so sad but also comforting as I felt so close to him.

Sorry to go on but am finding it really hard. My dd is 12 weeks old so the hormones aren't helping either.

It is over a year since my Dad died suddenly, and I still miss him just as much. I can't listen to the song without crying.

My dad died suddenly 8 yrs ago aged just 54. I thought i'd never get over it but some how i did. It makes me sad to think he never got to meet my youngest daughter.

My husband lost his dad to cancer last weekend, i feel i have been able to be there for him more as i have been through it myself and know what he's going through.

I know my dad and father in law are up there somewhere looking down on us, and we will all be together again one day.

Sorry, don't know why this came up 3 times?

My father died on 23rd May. I got his obituary with photo from the local paper today where he lived. They did a really good write up but it's still very sad.

Xenia, just to say that on another thread you mentioned that your father had died but it was only after I had stopped posting that I realised how recently it was and meant to say I was sorry for you.

I saw this on Fathers Day but could not bring myself to click on the link.
I heard this on the radio on Fathers day and cried for an hour afterwards.
I lost my dad 4 months ago after an awful battle with cancer . He was 65.
I started to feel better after the initial shock but have somehow started to feel worse again recently, just bursting into tears for no reason. Its like I just want to see him one more time before the cancer got to him. Just hope I feel some acceptance soon. So sorry for what others are going through although it somehow helps to know that you are not alone.
