Father's Day

Father's Day is so much harder than Mother's Day for me.

Two years, one week, and 6 days ago my own father passed away from cancer. That right there is enough to make this day hard. I was/have always been/will always be a daddy's girl. And while I know he's in a place far better from here, it doesn't make the times when I still pick up the phone and try and call him any easier. That moment when I realize that he can't sympathize with me, give me advice, or consol me with words I hear or hugs I feel, hurts.

Every time.

To add to it, my dear husband is still not a father. And yes I do, always, blame that on myself. More than anything that is what I want out of my life is to watch some little child, well, our little child, climb up in his lap, tell him "You're the BEST daddy, EVER! Happy Father's Day!" and hug and kiss him. He deserves that. He's the most wonderful man in the world, and he deserves a little one to love him as much as I love my own daddy.

So to the two most important men in my life I'm sorry this day is so hard for me, because it really should be all about you both.

I love you

Happy Father's Day!

My father passed away, too, and Father's Day has always been difficult. I hope you celebrate your husband's first Father's Day next year!

I'm so sorry about your father. It's so hard to lose a parent. My mom passed away a little over 3 years ago due to Cancer, as well. It's a rough road to travel.

So sorry this day is another reminder of the pain you feel.

Oh Erika, my heart aches for you girl. I'm so sorry you miss your dad so much, I know what you mean about being a daddy's girl, I'm the exact same way. My dad is a cancer survivor but is not doing well and I know one day soon I will face this same pain... I'm so glad we have the Gospel to provide us with the peace that we will be together again forever some day, but you're right... its still painful. Hugs and more hugs to you!

I am so sorry that a day meant to be joyful causes you pain. I guess there's really no separating the two- joy and pain- in reality they're too connected. And one makes us appreciate the other, while it helps us to try to avoid the first.

Sorry about the loss of your father. I, too, am a huge daddy's girl, so I can only imagine your grief.

I have a similiar vision of seeing my husband with our children and finally getting to enjoy this holiday!
