If only you knew how much I can relate. I found out a year later that my father had died. My parents had been divorced, he moved to Puerto Rico, Mom cut off all contact and I always thought I would find him when I turned 18. I never got that chance. I didn't cry then. Next my Grandfather died and I was there. It was so strange. I cried then, I cry now. My oldest sister had "disappeared" and I had just found her address. I was going to either write or see her when I came back from a trip. The night I left, she was murdered. I cried then more out of confusion then anything else. I still cry now. Finally, my Grandmother died two years ago. I wasn't there. I said good bye to her earlier that day on the phone. A few hours later, she passed away. I still cry for her.
Greif is a strange animal. I understand it being important to have that person remembered on the day they died. What's important is that YOU remembered. And yes, you didn't get to say good bye, but that's because he's not gone, he still lives on in your heart and always will.
I wish you the best.

You remember him and that's the only thing that really matters. Tell your kids about him and you will keep his memory alive. Hugsssssss

You're father is always there for you... even if he isn't here on Earth. I'm a big believer of everyone having angels or some sort of being protecting them and looking down on them from heaven.

Share a story about him. Then we can all think of him, too.

I'm glad you shared this entry, it's never easy when a person is taken so suddenly from us. I agree with Sandy, you remember him and that's what's important. *hugs*

My heart goes out to you today! I lost 3 grandparents in less than 3 years time, and though I know it's not the same loss as a parent, I still grieve for them, and I'm painfully sad that they aren't here to see my precious little girl! I miss them terribly, but I know they are here in spirit, in my wonderful memories, and forever in my heart! I'm so sorry for your pain! I do hope that you can remember all of the wonderful things about him... that should bring you so much peace, comfort, and happiness! You're in my thoughts today! Hugs!!!

I wish I could give you a hug.
I dropped in to your diary on a banner, and was touched by your entry. You reminded me of how I was when my grandparents died.
Thank you for sharing :)
