Ugh :(

I miss my Dad right now, a lot.
He passed away when I was 11, he was my best friend, I was the biggest daddy's girl ever, and I had him wrapped around my finger from day one.


I just saw a post about a father/daughter wedding song, and now I'm holding back tears because DD's sleeping on me and I don't want to wake her.


It's not smurfing fair. I'll never get that. There will be that awkward moment at my wedding when we're supposed to have that dance but we aren't, and I'm sure my family will give me that "poor girl" look.


Not to mention, people always smurfing say "Your dad would have adored Mackenzie, he would have loved her."
Thanks, I know that. Don't rub it in my face that she'll never get to meet him.

I might sound whiny, but I don't care, I want my daddy back. Now.  

I'm sorry hun  
I know how you feel, I have the same feelings about my mom, she died when I was 14.

I'm sorry to hear  

I just HATE when people talk about him and DD. I know they're trying to be nice, but it makes my heart drop and my stomach tie into knots.

Sorry mama  
I know how you feel. I lost my Dad when I was 8. My oldest sister was 21...she always goes on and on about how much my son looks like him...uh, yeah...cuase I look like him, and this is my son.
It annoys me, to no end.

My dads been gone for 25 years now, the other day my other sister texted me saying she was having a bad day, and how much she wishes she knew what life would be like if he was here. I hate to say it never goes away...but it doesnt, you just learn to accept it.

hugs

I feel ya! Right after Catherine was born my family was all "oh your mom would've loved her!" "imagine if she were still here" and it's like, "yeah...thanks for salting the wound...."
I took Catherine to her grave after we got out of the hospital and I couldn't even stay as long as I had wanted to because I was ready to bawl my eyes out.

Oh, I know that.
I'm usually really good with it, I've long accepted it's life and this is what happens.

But then I think of my wedding or of DD not ever getting to know him, and this happens. I'm not only sad, I'm smurfing livid.

Sorry you are going through this...maybe have a family dance with you, your daughter and your hubby. Then have something special in honor of your Dad.

My dad's at my grandma's righ next to my grandpa. I took Kenzie there about a week ago, and "introduced" her to her Grandpa, and I was instantly devastated.

That's a good idea, actually. Thank you.

I have a good idea every once in awhile...I am finished with them for the night. lol

Yeah, it sucks that our LOs won't get to really know one of their grandparents  
Is your LO's other grandparents in her life? I try to look atleast look on the bright side that Catherine still has her grandpa (my dad), and on DH's side his mom, dad, and step mom. And I know it's quite cliche, but atleast your dad and my mom will always be with us in our hearts   and we'll always have stories and memories about them to share with our LOs

Yes she does!
She has my mom, SO's mom and dad.
And they all adore her, so that makes me feel better

i completely understand, and im sorry for your lose. im sure you have wonderful memories of him and use those to keep his memory alive. my mother passed away when i was 5 and i never really have many memories all i have are photos of her. i also get the 'your mom would have adored Analyssa' comments too and people say my mom is living through my daughter because they look soo alike even when they were babies.
its completely horrible when parents miss out on our stepping stones of our lives but they are watching from heaven and im positive your father is Makenzies' guardian angel, as well as yours   when she is older share stories so she could know how wonderful her grandpa was, she would love that.
