5 daysI don’t generally believe in the paranormal whatsoever, but my dad gave us each a wallet-sized ouija board as a joke before he passed a few months ago (“keep in touch”), so I sent a quick “love you dad” on it, just in case.
Not a good day for me. I had a horrible childhood and my dad was the one good thing about it. I miss him.
Thanks internet stranger and dad. Got any good dad jokes? It IS father’s day

Bless you. And remember there’s enough love for you out there in this world — hiding where it may.

My family mostly forgot about it, which honestly is fine.
I got to watch my oldest son get his blackbelt in Aikido, and if that’s not a dad moment I’m not sure what is.

Had a lovely day getting cards from wife and kids, nice dinner, invited my grandma over to join us. Miss my father but sent some messages to a couple of people who have filled a similar role since he passed.

Miss dad every day. He passed about a year and a half ago. Was outside working and a mosquito bit him, a week later he was being taken off the ventilator. West Nile Virus, it attacked his nervous system and he couldn’t breathe on his own anymore.
He wasn’t perfect, but he was mine. He loved me, and was always telling me how proud of me he was.
I think it hurts more because I’m adopted. Dad chose me. Specifically. I was his, and he was proud of that. I miss him so damn much.

Who decides these days and how does one keep up with these? I’m off of mainstream media and now missed Father’s day. I just don’t bother with these anymore. Sure I’d like to celebrate a day for my dad but these occur on most random days that I barely keep with these, ever so since I have quit the normal social media.

I got my first “Happy Father’s Day” yesterday because one kid forgot what day it was.
Tonight we’re taking my dad out for sushi.

Gone no contact with my dad for over year. So basically celebrating summer solstice and that’s it.

Tough, my dad died in 2012. My kid is busy and typically forgets things like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. I poke him to remember Mother’s Day.
That’s rough mate how are you doing? I’m gonna say hi to my lemmy dads in !dadforaminute@lemmy.world soon that’ll help me

I thought I’d miss him less over time but I miss him the same as ever. The raw edge of pain is long gone but will surface with just a thought.
