I miss my dad, too

[petuniasmama]

This was my second Father's Day without my dad. I use the word "Dad" because to think the word "Daddy" which is the name I used (unless I was mad at him)makes me cry for some reason. (Yes, I'm crying now). While "Dad" feels a more comfortable distance. I also avoided going to church. I just don't relish going to pieces around strangers, so I tend to avoid church altogether. I went Easter, and had to leave before it was over because I had destroyed my last tissue and Mr. PetuniasMama's hanky. My mom, who saves EVERYTHING, apparently, sent me a package for this Father's Day, containing assorted cards and letters I sent him from the time I was five years old. This did make me feel a bit better somehow. I also feel a bit better now that the first year has passed. There were too many anniversaries to mark in my mind the first year- last time I hugged him, last time I got an email, last time we ate in a particular restaurant together, last time we went fishing, etc. Anyhow, I digress. I know we are blessed to have wonderful dads to miss. Lucky us. Hugs, Wendy.
