The man, my father, that has shared my avatar for a long time past away on my birthday. I will miss him and our wonderful conversation on the phone. It was expected but finality is still hard to accept.

So so sorry for your loss, may God gives you comfort.! and like Lillian says talk with him, I do talk to my husband every day it helps me a lot.

Crafter, Having lost my adored father a few yrs ago I understand and know the emptiness in your heart. I still miss my father and often talk to him still(of course when no one else is around) they would think I had lost my marbles. LOL, still I just feel better sometimes talking over things with him. I know he will be waiting at heaven's gate for me someday and that in its self is comforting/Lillian

Sincere sympathy for your sad loss - try to remember that you may not be able to still talk with him on the phone, but you will always have him in your heart.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Just think of the wonderful times you shared. Stella

Oh, I'm so very sorry. There is no one like your dad. I don't think we can ever prepare ourselves for the loss of someone we love so very much. I'll give my dad a phone call, because I know I still can, and I know how much those calls meant to you. Prayers for you, Love and hugs, Jan

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. Keep the memories and times that you had while he was with your family. Maybe you could make a memory quilt someday! God Bless you

Sorry for your loss. It is such a blessing for you to have shared so many wonderful years with him. Hugz, Kathy

Angie, So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hugs Yvonne

Thank you all for your caring words. You are such a great bunch of friends and the best support group.
My Birthday was one I will most likely never forget. 4 Tornado warnings, having my brother and sister visiting and then the news about my dad passing. How often does it happen that all children normally living in different parts of the world are gathered together and are able to comfort each other when this kind of news comes along. Now I had to say good bye to them again and the house is so quiet. I will now catch up on all the posts I had missed. THANKS AGAIN

I guess it does not go to the top any more or I remember it wrong and it never did. Ha. ha. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all your comments.

My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. It is so painful when we lose any loved one, but somehow our parents passing is a most distressing time for all of us. I hope your pain is soon overtaken by the loving memories and laughter that you shared.
Please don't remove your avatar, seeing your Dad every day should bring you joy, not heartache.
Hugs and blessings, Meg

Meganne I had changed my avatar a few month ago to my other friend, my dog. I would like to change it back to the one I used for year, the one with my dad, but I don't think it is possible right now. I can not find a way to do it.

I'm so sorry for your lost. I'm a daddy's girl and my dad is 83 but in excellent health. PTL... Hope your days are filled with fond memories. Prayers for you and your family. Terre

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Blessings, Rachel

Sorry to hear, It is always hard, even when expected. Like your photo;you both look every happy on it. Remember the nice times you had together

Very sorry to hear your sad news. I lost my 96year old dad Nov. last year and I still hear him in my head speak to me and give me advice so I am comforted knowing that he is watching over me. I hope that you will feel the love and comfort too. God bless you. hugs Joyce

Very sorry. Keep your avatar, it will bring a smile to your face everytime you see it. Jan

You have my heartfelt sympathy in your loss. Just a glance at this photo and seeing the genuine joy on his face, should bring a smile to yours! He looks so happy, and has the expression of a kind, gentle man.
It was many years ago that I lost my parents, and I miss them so very much still today. Wonderful memories will keep him close to you always.

Gosh so very sorry to hear about your dad May his soul rest in peace
Hugs brenda

I am so sorry, I know how hard it is to loose your father.......my father's death was also expected, but still so hard...sending hugs.

Angie, I am so sorry about your Dad! I do consider you very lucky to have had him with you all these yrs. My Dad left us when I was 27. My son adored him and he adored my son. Brian was only 6 and he does not remember but a couple of things about their time together. I lost my Mom when I was 42. She had been sick for so long that I really had mixed feelings about her leaving us. It was sad and it hurt but after being so sick for so long,it was a relief also. She suffered a long time and she was soooo tired that she just finally gave up.. Her oldest sister came to see her the day before she passed away and she seemed at peace after she left. Just remember that he is not gone and that he will live in your heart forever and that you will be together again one day. He looks like a very happy gentle person. I am so glad that you got to spend so much time with him. You just never know what the Lord has in store for us from one day to the next. Keep his memories close to your heart and you will always have him close to you! Hugs, Linda

I am so sorry. I know your heart is feeling so heavy now, but I can tell by looking at this wonderful picture that he was a man of much joy and you will soon be able to recall all of those things, first with tears, then with laughter and warmth.

My sympathies. Prayers are with you !! Suzanne

Ny sincere condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Hugs, Mary

My condolences on your loss.

Oh what a sweet looking Father you had. May God bless your heart with His comfort and fill you up with remembering wonderful memories of your Father.

Dear Angie, I am so sorry about your father dying. My Dad died on Father's Day 2 years ago and everyone was upset but I told them not to be as it doesn't matter what day someone dies, they will always live in your heart. What wonderful memories you will have and every now and again there will be tears of grief and of joy when you recall something that comes to mind. Love and blessings Chris
