loss of loved one

my dad's birthday, 91st,. was yesterday, i was sad, as he passed away
last september. i miss him alot, for as a child my dad and i did everything
together...he taught me alot, and made me smile with all the love he gave
me over the years. i really wish he hadnt left us, but he had a full, happy
life, as he cherished each day. when he passed away, and myself and all
my children had to view him at the wake, it was so frightening for none of
us had been to a wake, or funeral, let alone one close to us. all my
kids, wrote a last letter to him., with a picture of them with him, i
too wrote a note, and put a pic with it of me and him when i was little,..
my dad was a hard worker, always was doing something around the house, and
always had a paint brush in his hands.,touching up the barn, or house,..
as a child i use to kid him..'dad i would say when u die, i will bury u
with a paint brush and paint' he would laugh and fully agree yes of course.
so, on the last day we saw him., with the note, and picture i placed a
small container of paint, and placed the brush in his hands., and in the
note i told him every time i saw a 'rainbow' i would think of him.. painting
the sky and heavens above. he was a great dad, and we all miss him
alot... happy birthday dad....
we love u

I miss my Dad, too, even though it's been since 1995 that he left us. May 1 would have been my parents' 55th anniversary. Father's Day is always tough for me, too. I'll think about him all day.
Sorry you're having a tough time,
