My dad died 10 years ago

He was selfish, I remember him taking me out to buy me something, whatever I wanted, I picked a skirt, now this was when skirts went from minis to midis and this was a midi

It was lovely, pale blue and brown t. He turned round and said "Well if you like it that much, you buy it".

I scraped together every last penny in my purse, I was 12p short, the lady in the shop paid it.

But guess what, I would give anything to give hima hug on Sunday.

He was my dad and I love him

Happy Fathers Day

my dad passed away just over 3 years ago when I was pregnant with my twins and I wll always remember the year I made a booklet of coupons for him like "1 free car wash " " iron all your shirts for a week" kind of thing...I ironed his shirts but I had forgot to iron the sleeves...he didn't want to hurt my feelings so even though it was mid june and a heat wave, he still wore them but never took off his suit jacket...lol folks told me years later...

i am a massive daddy's girl, i know that no matter what he is there for me. The Vodofone add nearly makes me cry whenever i see it becuase i know that no matter what he is doing if me or my sisters need him he will walk away from it and be here as soon as he can be

i know i am so lucky to have the relationship i have with my dad as a lot of my friends and others that have posted previously on here clearly dont.

buying a present of fathers day is so hard becuase nothing i can buy or say or write etc will convey just how much i love and admire my father.

When I was a kid growing up I use to get a bit jealous of my friends who always seem to have lovely dads. We left mine when I was five but I still remembered the bad bits that manifested into bad dreams for a lot of years after. As a child you think you are the only one who goes through these 'bad bits' but you're not and in a way that helps. My mum was the best and when she passed 15yrs ago I thought that was the end but the memories of her are still alive and as far as I am concerned she was my mum and dad until the day she died.

I'm really lucky.

My dad isn't even remotely emotional, he doesn't do feelings BUT he shows how much he cares in his own way.

I recently went through a really tough time and he hadn't the foggiest idea how to react watching me sat on the settee bawling my eyes out - you know the totally uncontrollable, given up, can't breathe for crying type. But when he left to go home he patted the dog and said "be a good girl and look after your mum" so I know he's got a heart in there somewhere (and a stupidly soft spot for the dog).

But he's also done so many jobs round the house and put himself out for me countless times, not just recently but since I can remember and I'll miss him when he's not there to give me scathing advice anymore!

What not only a fab post but moving one too, I agree Fathers day should be changed to Mothers day! I'm a Father that only speaks to my beautiful daughter when I can, she know's that due too demographics and her stubborn mother! That said, I wake up everyday in the knowledge that's she's well cared for and that I love her... Paddy X

My father was a bitter, angry man in later years. He was so mean spirited he didn't tell us he was dying.

He knocked on my door and I asked "can I help you?" I didn't recognise him: in three months he'd lost so much weight from cancer and still denied there was anything wrong.

I visited in Chorley hospital and remembered the good times growing up.

When he died last year I didn't cry and no family members were at his funeral on 3 February, snow meant we couldn't get out of London.

I didn't cry til a couple months ago. Had Dance with my Father on my iPod as I was driving through an area my dad used to live. I could picture him and my mum walking hand in hand...I nearly lost it.

My girls are making plans to take their dad out on Sunday: he was a bastard, but miss the old goat!

That is the same as I feel. My ex husband left me when my son was 2 and my twin girls were 4 months old, almost 3 years ago now...but no matter what he has done or said in the past to me, I know how much he loves his children and even though it is very hard for me with no family around( being canadian )I have never even considered moving to canada with the kids.

My son visited us last week. He had a great time and got on with Mrs R fabulously. We had a pint on my birthday and I told him how sorry I was about how I behaved when I left him and his mum. (Long before my current relationship). His response was this: "Dad, I love you. I love mum. I am over it, both of you are over it now too and are both happy. I know you both love me, and, even though you couldn't work it out between you, I've never for a second doubted that. When I mess up you are both there for me in your own ways. Just remember this, when you are old and incontinent remember who will chose your retirement home, now do you want a pint or what?" Took me a while to respond to him...

this advert makes me tearful too, but not because i have a dad who will do that but because it makes me yearn for one who would. Despite everything thats happened up til now there is still that little girl who needs to know her dad is there for her..even though it'll never be like that.

Ok didn't want it to go this way. My father was ill on lung cancer and I watched him going from my father to a man that needed help. He was a fourteen stone guy for all of my life and ruled with an iron rod attitude. He dealt the family the bad news and changed his eating habits took the pills and went on to chemo. This bulldog of a man was vanishing before my eyes. When in the latter stages I was called from a wedding to assist and no wheelchairs available I griPped my old man and ran up to casualty for them to give more time. Meanwhile my elder brother and I was moonlighting in two chicken shops as drivers. The last thing I said to mark was ok 2 o clock we will take the kids swimming. Knock on the door at 8 am thought it was the old man had gone. No my brother at the age of 35 had a brain hemmarige. Same year dad went.

My youngest daughter makes both us cards all the time telling us she loves us and we are the best, works her wee fingers off and lovely drawings they are too.

This year Steven has already dropped off his dads fathers day card he will phone him the morning of fathers day as well, but cos of distance we cant go down to visit.

Dont know what my daughters want to buy Steven other than a sarky card - last years present was a throw cushion saying "first national bank of dad - we are closed" and a fridge magnet saying fathers carry pictures where they once carried money - very true in this house

The person who said any man can be a father it takes someone special to be a dad is right, my Steven is not my oldests biological father but he is the one who taught her to go a bike, put plasters on her knees, takes her temper tantrums, makes her laugh, makes her angry, loves her and is in every way a much better dad than the man who got me pregnant and beat me up cos I dared to answer back.

To anyone who still has their dad tell them how much you love them cos one day they wont be there to tell - I know that and make sure I tell my daughters to spoil dad once a year as he spoils them every day

And the moral of the story is........ If your dad is crap or not there (for whatever reason) there is a good chance you will end up on 'fab'!.. Well not really we have great dads we are just randy buggers! x x x to all, look after whoever you call dad, parents are special, don't forget them x

My Dad was an incredible person, but sadly his life was cut short due to cancer nearly 20 years ago.

I miss him dearly and would love for him to have been able to meet Mrs Carambar - I know he would have approved of her - and for him to have seen and played football with his grandson.

As a child, however, I didn't really appreciate just what sacrifices he made for his family. I'm ashamed to admit that as a kid I didn't show my Dad just how much I loved him. I was incredibly stupid and resented the fact that, unlike some of my friends, we were poor. We didn't have a car and family holidays were spent in a caravan in Wales, but my Dad (and Mum) made sure we always had clothes on our backs and food on our plates. It wasn't until I was older that I realised that material things don't mean a thing, but by that time it was too late.

It broke my heart to see him fade away because of his illness, and I can still remember the day when he died. My Mum and I were at his bedside. It was the worst day of my life.

I try to only remember the good times when I think of my Dad. To remember him as a loving and proud father, the most generous person I've ever known, a man who would gladly go out of his way to help anyone, who always put other people before himself, who was simply brilliant. If I can be half the man that he was then I will have achieved something with my life.

I love you, Dad.

In a way, as a young girl, losing my Dad so sudden and so far away was a lot easier than watching him die a long and painful death as my Mum did years later.

I barely knew him really, he was just the stranger who came home from overseas every few months with presents and three or four days on playing and awkward cuddling before he was off again.

In a way my Mum was a widow long before Dad was killed overseas, she had only seen him for less than a month in total in the two years before he passed.

Unfortunately my son only had his dad for five short years, we'll be taking flowers and a card to the cemetery as usual. xxx"

Dads are forever , not just 20th June.

"My Dad was an incredible person, but sadly his life was cut short due to cancer nearly 20 years ago.

I miss him dearly and would love for him to have been able to meet Mrs Carambar - I know he would have approved of her - and for him to have seen and played football with his grandson.

It broke my heart to see him fade away because of his illness, and I can still remember the day when he died. My Mum and I were at his bedside. It was the worst day of my life.

I love you, Dad."

I dont think any of us appreciate our parents when younger, its not until we have kids of our own that it suddenly falls into place.

I miss my dads patience and way of dealing with things.

He went about everything quietly. He never swore and never raised his hand once .

He didnt have to, that look over the top of his glasses said it all.

He left a large void in mt life as i miss his wisdom and sense when dealing with lifes problems.

I hated my dad

i know that sounds harsh but not evenone had a good dad or a great child hood, my dad was a voilent, abusive, alcholic, there wasnt anything nice or good about him, or any happy times in my childhood while i was living with him, someone said earlier in the thread, anyone can be a father but it takes a real man to be someones daddy, and thats so true

So happy fecking father day you **** lol

i feel better now in have that out my system lmao

Jeeze... don't say that! I thought the life sentence was long enough.... I was kinda hoping to get it reduced to the once per year thing.

Got a call at 8am this morning to say my Dad had something called a TIA? Think it is a mini stroke! He had the paramedics out who gave him Asprin! No hospital or anything, even though he can't talk properly. He lives 350 miles away so I am feeling a bit bad as I think they should have taken him in!

So far he is sort of OK. Still can't talk and is very weak and on Fathers day I will miss him even more than usual

At least you acknowledge your mistakes hun. Not many guys do.

None of us are perfect and make huge mistakes. All you can do is hope you can one rectify them.

My son lives in the usa and i havent heard nothing in 5 years since he married into some strange cult ???

I miss him every day and hope one day i will see him again.? who knows eh.

All we can do is hope.

FFS I expected to pick up some gift ideas on opening this thread.

Interesting reading all the same, how we all differ. It's certainly made me think about things from a different perspective.

my kids dad is the same so i understand exactly where you are coming from.

My own father was a strange kind of bloke but then as my mum decided to walk out on him for a sick pervert when i was about 9 yrs old, i didnt know him that much just the odd memory here and there.

You are right, being a parent doesnt automatically entitle you to be a daddy and i wish my mum would realise that as she is a selfish, manipulative etc etc bitch of the highest degree
