Yes, I miss my Dad and my best friend, his hugs made everything better, he made everything better, to you all

 

I Miss My Dad,a right character,the stories he told us ,he was in the Navy for About 14 years.
He travelled all over the world and he would tell us stories of his travels,places,characters he met on Ships and ashore.

He was on the Russian Convoys to Arkhangelsk/ Archangel ,Russia during WW2 , he seen and lived a full life.

I still remember all the stories and I still have all Certificates,Identity Books,Sea books and Discharge papers and his Arctic Emblem,I received on his behalf about 5 years ago. Sadly he never seen his award as he passed away years before I received it on his behalf.I placed it in the Garden Of Remembrance.

His stories and Songs still live on as I have passed them onto my children and my Grandchildren, he will not be forgotten.

Even The German Navy Never Stopped Him,He Was Torpedoed Twice And Survived.

 

I lost my dad when I was twenty one, just four weeks after my first daughter, his first grandchild was born. I had my husband drive straight to my parents place when we left the hospital. I'd had a difficult birth so remained in the car while my mum took my daughter into meet her grandad for the first time. He had Motor Neurone disease, a muscle wasting disease, which meant he couldn't hold her. My mum apparently crossed his arms and layed her in them, he cried with joy. How I wish I'd seen his face at the time, how I wish he'd had the chance to see my other two children and for them to grow up knowing him.

Dad and I had an unusual rapport I suppose, we didn't need to speak but were happy just to spend time in each others company in the same room, we both also had a natural talent for crafts which gave us a particular bond. He was a quiet man, but generous of heart and would help anyone in a fix.

Thirty six years on and I still miss him. If only we could turn back time.

 

Hugs to you dear, Sheal.

My parents are still alive, although my mum split from Dad when I was 7. From then I became close to my grandad, he became my father figure and mentor, he got me in to gardening, wildlife and fishing, I DO miss him a lot. A WWII veteran, he served under Montgomery as a desert rat, I still have his medals and other items from his time in the war, I had the highest respect for him and still do even though he's now passed on.

My mum re-married when I was 14 a few years before my grandad passed and it took a while for me to get on with my stepdad but in the end we developed a brilliant relationship that lasts to this day.

I have got back in touch with my real Dad too during the last few years and the connection was instant we get on great and email every other week and meet occasionally, he can't and doesn't replace my stepdad and everything he has done for me, I'm just lucky to have 3 parents I guess

 

If you have a parent who loves you: feel blessed.
If you have a parent who likes you: feel proud.
If you have a parent who tolerates you: never give up! With age brings wisdom - somethmes.
If you have a parent who doesn't understand the meaning/responsibilites of love: walk away ... but with dignity.

 

How very true Mum. I was chatting the other day to a friend who remarked that just because you can have children not everybody is cut out to be a parent which isn't the easiest job! It's not as tho we need to increase the world's population. I was lucky and do "feel blessed", both my parents are no longer here but I still miss them. I used to feel very sad when thinking of them but I now usually smile remembering the fun times.

 

I always told my children from a young age, my son and daughter, the easy part is having/getting a baby, the work starts as they grow up, nurturing, teaching, loving no matter what, until they are old enough to go out into the world.
My son was 40 last New Years day, when does it start. .
I always wanted for my children the childhood i never had.

 

As my daughter reminded me the other day " children cannot choose their parents"
