I am definately up for that (((big group hug)))<BR/><BR/>((SC)) yes the dreams are wonderful aren't they? I remember having an extremely vivid one not long after my Dad died and although I awoke in tears it felt like I had had a chance to hold him that one last time. And you're right I wouldn't trade the tears for all the wonderful years I did have.<BR/><BR/>((Alex)) Don't you dare delete your post. I appreciate you sharing with me and I can understand only to well, my relationship with my mother is not the one that I hope will continue with my girls but that sense of duty does kick in.<BR/><BR/>((twiggy)) Although your Dad never got to meet the twiglet in the here and now I know that twiglet has the most amazing guardian angel and a very very proud grandpa.<BR/><BR/><BR/>((Vicky)) Yes I love the imagery of them bringing sunshine to our lives.<BR/><BR/>((Woo)) I know you understand only too well the pain.

You are very lucky to have had such a loving relationship with your dad.<BR/>My dad is still here and I do love him but as children we were always told to "not bother your father" so I don't think we ever built a close relationship....Perhaps he had to work a lot of hours, or perhaps because he was 45 when I was born he wasn't that way inclined. I have 3 older brothers and we are not at all close... I think we were all brought up to be so independant that we hardly ever talk. My dad will be 83 and the reason we moved back to somerset, he had a close shave 3 and a half years ago, I was pregnant and living in High Wycombe and I realised however I feel he is the only dad I have and I should spend more time with him, but it is difficult.<BR/>Oh I am so depressing! Now you have got me started!<BR/>Shall I delete this ?<BR/>I shall let you decide, X AlexPink Feather Paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362222817573569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802340644031568094.post-46922174468061207672009-01-15T05:29:00.000+00:002009-01-15T05:29:00.000+00:00Big ((((((((hugs)))))))))) your post has brought t...Big ((((((((hugs)))))))))) your post has brought tears to my eyes, I hope your friend is being kind to his or herself and allowing themselves time to grieve (does that ever stop?).<BR/><BR/>I know just how you feel, I too lost my Dad to an unexpected heart attack, his was in April last year and I had thought he'd live forever. We were so close and he adored his grandchildren, I miss him every day. I know just how you feel about wanting to pick up the phone, there are so many times I want to tell Dad something or ask his advice. I was so scared of forgetting his voice and his face but they haven't gone and I see him a lot in my dreams.<BR/><BR/>It must be so lovely that your children remember your wonderful Dad. I'm sure they will always talk about him and think of him.<BR/><BR/>Oh dear, I'd better stop babbling, your post has made me cry! Take care, Mel xxxShabby Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346257405989212252noreply@blogger.com
