Tough day for me. My daughter died in February. This will be my first Father's Day in 43 years without actually being a father.

Thank you, Karen. I had a nice Thai dinner with my son. I'm currently back at home with my other sons, Stewie the cat and Lucky the dog

Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. And those first holidays are so tough to get through.

Wishing you peace and comfort in your grief.

After reading some of the responses here my post seemed kind of lame. I'll move it to a bike thread.

I'm heartbroken to read about fathers losing their kids. Nothing I can say will change a thing, but you have my deepest sympathy.

You will always be a father. Her not being with you does not change that.

You will always be her father.

I feel your pain as my precious Angel passed away (she was 32) over 3 years ago. I grieve every day.

My heart goes out to you.

And to you as well, Dan.

Yes, you both will always be fathers. From what you've written your children were cherished. Love lasts forever.
