Hi Vikki,

No matter how old we get  what we would give for another Hug Or Chat. You will be pushed to your limit on Monday. But you have the strength and support of us all on the site we will be thinking about you and your Family. May your Dad R.I.P.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

hi vikki

my heart goes out to you i lost my dad when i was the same age and im 45 now and there isnt a day when i dont think of him or even still manage to have my chat because he is never far from me i know that !!! have never been a church goer but perhaps when you feel stronger the spiritualist church is such a nice place to visit when you feel the time is right gave me so much comfort..... i dont go often but when i do you cant imagine the feeling of peace i get and it does  make me feel so much closer to my darling dad you will find the strength to carry on girl although right now it seems you never will manage

thinking of you and sending my love to you

Hi Vikki....I'm so very sorry and sad to hear you've lost your wonderful Dad. I lost my Dad 2years ago on New Years Day....and even now I can not quite get my head round the fact he's gone. I would, like you, give anything just to talk to him, hold his hand...but, we have wonderful memories, and have been such lucky girls (including Jen) to have had such fabulous Dads.

Monday will be a hard day Vikki, there's no doubt, but the strength will come from somewhere to help you get through it. I'll be holding your hand from afar...and as Sarsfield said, there will be plenty of lovely Mac friends here to support you. The best advice I was given for my Dads funeral (still can't believe I'm typing that either!), was ''just be''.  I was so worried about getting upset and crying....I was totally overwhelming myself. And he was so right! Don't put yourself under any pressure, if you get upset, then you get upset. Those two words helped me so much...just gave me the freedom to react and be as I felt.

Jen is so right...I'm positive too that your Dad won't ever be far away from you.

You take care of yourself Vikki, we're all here if you need us. Will be thinking about you Monday.

Love and hugs,

Janey x x x

Hi - My dad died just over a week ago and like you because of New year the funeral isn't until Monday. I am 51 and still need my dad, I need his wisdom, his wit, his politics - there is no one who will ever take his place in being the one person in the world that I have so much in common with. No one to share our political views and observations on life or ask for advice about work, it has all gone. I will forever imagine conversations with my dad and in some situations wonder  what my dad would have done or said. I feel so numb and drained. He wasn't suppose to die so quick he just had radiotherapy and it was supposed to give him a bit of time and quality of life. Instead he died within a few weeks of the end of treatment - how can this be? They didn't say that was a posibility ... I feel cheated. There was a few things my dad wanted to do 'when he felt a bit better' ... so cruel and so unfair. Will be thinking of you on Monday ....
