Caution, sad picture.

Joey and Dominic visiting Grandpa on Father's Day.
I wanted to share it with my friends.

What a sweet picture. I didn't go out to my father's grave, he not there. I just went outside to talk with him and the butterflies appeared. I knew they would.

OMG I know exactly what you mean, when I was house hunting there was a little bunny in the yard everytime I came back to look at this house. I felt like that was a sign from Pete that this was the house for me. So I bought this house and am very happy here and truly believe he approves of the purchase.

I kept my Dad's watch. It's not a very expensive one but it's something that he wore a lot. I put it on and wear it when I'm thinking of him. I wore it on Father's Day.

My dad died when I was 26. I've only been to his grave two or three times. I agree, he's not there. I hate cemeteries. When my son was born my mom gave me my dad's electric train set for him. I never took it out of the box until last year. And when I took it out, he had written on some of the boxes. When I looked at his hand writing it just brought so many memories flooding back.

My Dad's been gone 16 yrs and it's just the past 2 that I've gone to the cemetary.
I can feel him with me at different times, but not there. I just go there to make sure his and my grandparents graves are well kept since I'm the only one in the family still living in this area.

Kat, rather than sad. I think it's wonderful that they're encouraged to remember grandpa. My 2 youngest were 3 and 5 when my dad passed, so they've forgotten a lot. Dh loved my dad nearly as much as I did, so we make sure to share stories and memories about him when we get the chance. I think it's a good thing to do.

I always tel the kids I know Dad's just waiting for the rest of us to join him and he'll probably be strumming a guitar and serenading us when we get there.

My husband went to visit his Dad at the cemetery for Father's day, very sad, he died when Mike was so young and with the loss of his brother last year (38 years old) it was a bad day for him, But he made the best of it for Micah!

My father and I had a terrible relationship (I didn't see him for over 15 years) - the only reason he wanted to see me before he died was his new wife wanted me to pay for the funeral.

Oh Dobie, I'm so sorry. I have always felt very blessed by the parents I got. My dad was a wonderful loving man who put family as top priority. My mom too is a very caring, giving person. I can't imagine not having had either of them.

Dobie that is so sad.. I am sorry to hear this to. Haley sorry to hear about your BIL for he was young. For the rest everyone has nice memories.... My dad is dead 10 yrs this July.. I didnt get a chance to go to the cememtary for fathers day this year.

Kat it is nice that the children go visit grandpas grave.. Some people do not like that idea. I feel its part of life and I to have brought my kids when they were younger to visit the graves...

I'm so sorry Kat. That had to be incredibly difficult for you. *Hugs*

I was never close with my father. In fact, he's really not a nice person at all and I've only seen him 10 or 20 times my entire life--thank goodness! If it wasn't for all the card ads I wouldn't have even known the date of Father's Day!
