I remember he decided to try and be a dad around the time I was becoming an adult, but I'd had an excellent step dad for the previous decade and wasn't interested in the sperm donor trying to buy my interest. Haven't heard from or wanted to contact ever since I made that clear

On the phone a few days ago, to try and get him to turn the radiators back on because he'd turned them all down to zero and then rang me to tell me the boiler was broken.

He emailed me last night. It's bizarre that despite dementia making it difficult or impossible for him to do a bunch of stuff, he can remember how to do email.

Yesterday by text.

Although that was only because he knows I'll call over Christmas morning to see my little brother as he'll be home visiting and is probably feeling awkward that it's been 5 months since he last made contact.

He literally lives a 5 minute drive from me but when I stopped being the one to make an effort the contact stopped .

He'll blame me for the lack of contact .

Out of sight out if mind and all that.

He has time for my sister though

Good luck today Stephen

In over a year. My dad (adopted) is awesome. I have learned so much from this amazingly kindhearted, patient and humble man. My biological dad died when I was young. He had left my mum after I was born and she married my stepdad who went on to adopt me. My biological mum is a cruel, selfish manipulative woman who made my childhood a living hell. My stepdad was that Ray of light that made life better. Last year when my little brother died *his natural son) I had to cut my mum out of my life. Sadly they come as a package. He has terminal cancer and I thought he would be dead by Christmas last year as losing my brother broke his heart. I think he keeps going so she is not left alone. It breaks my heart not having him in my life but I cannot be around that toxic, evil woman ever again.

Thanks to all those that shared such touching stories.

My parents are in their eighties, still in love, reasonably fit and great company.

I speak to them fairly regularly, but after reading this thread, will speak to them more often.

Cheers,

Gbat

A few days before my 16th Birthday, about an hour before he was carried out of our house by the paramedics. It was out of the blue, he was a healthy man and not yet 50 (I think). He was being treated for cancer but caught early and looking to be going well. He was expected to overcome it fine. But in the space of an hour he went from perfectly fine to totally confused and in an ambulance. I didn't get to go with him to the hospital and when I woke up in the morning he was gone.

I would give anything to talk to him again. He was the wisest man I knew. We had such great conversations and games of chess when he would come home from work. Sometimes I would stay up so late just to share half an hour with him. He worked so hard for us all and he never got to enjoy the fruits of the future he'd been working towards.

I'm super fortunate that I see my Dad most Sunday mornings for a brew and my mum during the week, I do not take them for granted and value dearly. Big love to all of you who are missing a parent at this time xx

I think it was either late August or early September 2007, less than a month before his accident at work. I was already living in UK then, for a couple of months, phoned home as I always did on a Sunday to have a chat with Mum (he was not much of a talker on the phone). I forgot that Mum went away to the seaside that weekend, with my sister, so Dad answered the phone and we had a short conversation. He passed away about a month or so later, as a result of an accident at work, so that was our last conversation.

5 minutes ago.

He died 4 years ago.

He's still a knob, although thankfully doesn't read The Sun any more.

But he's always my knob, and I'm always his, and we love each other.

Even though we're complete knobs.

Did I say he's a knob? Like me?

Last month on our birthdays, mine is the day before his.

I can't call him anymore because he's going deaf and also has awful tinnitus, but we have a WhatsApp group with him and my sisters and keep in touch there with texts a couple of times a week. We exchanged cat pics yesterday

I'll see him Boxing Day at the big family 2nd Christmas Dinner and look forward to the usual long chat while we clean up the kitchen together

Very moving stories .. good to read . Sad to see when like me people have no relationship with a parent never called a man Dad . Never wanted by that parent , It does cloud your life in many ways . Thankfully i had a loving caring Mum.

Sometimes it causes the least amount of aggravation. It's sometimes a bitter pill to swallow though. Hope you handle it ok

April 1995, a phone call to tell him I was coming down to see him because I had news to tell him.

I wanted to tell him I was pregnant but I never got the chance, he died 2 days later.

I ended up writing a letter and putting it in his coffin
