👨👴 Father's Day special - share your stories/memories 👔

I only have good memories of my dad, he has always been there for me and my 4 siblings, I am the second eldest and there is 20 years between me and my youngest brother, my mum never had to work and dad did shift work at a printers. He always took my older brother and I to the shop on a Sunday and bought us chocolate as a treat. He is a quite, clever and artistic man and family means everything to him, he cared for my mum when she developed Motor Neurone disease until she passed away, which is why at 89 it is so sad that he is going through what he is at the moment as yesterday he had to go into care after 6 months of my brother trying to care for him at home and several emergency hospital stays because of falls, sadly he developed dementia recently and it has got so bad he doesn’t really know us. I shan’t be able to see him tomorrow which is our Father’s Day in the UK because he has to isolate for 2 weeks before he can have the run of the care home and mix with anyone. Of course he will be in my thoughts everyday as we have been in his. I love him and thank him for the most wonderful childhood ever that was always filled with love 💕

I was blessed to have my daddy he was my hero my best friend he was there for any and everything even though im not biologically his my real dad was on drugs in and out of prison making choices that weren't the greatest but he chose the best decision to give me n my sister to his brother who raised us as his own children and loved us unconditionally. I always wondered why he didn't want us and would give us away because when he was sober n doing right he was amazing with us i actually never knew about the bad parts of his life he always kept that away from me and my sister until the day i had kids of my own then I realized that as a parent you sometimes have to make choices not because its whats right for you but its whats right for your children. So I now look back amd think how lucky I was too be loved by 2 incredible fathers but growing up i was so angry and closed off that i lost years with them both that i will never get back. June 6 2016 my daddy that raised me passed from stage 4 bladder cancer then February 2017 my grandpa their dad passed away and October 3 2017 my cousin brutally murdered my real dad with a tire iron so my advice is cherish every moment of every day with those who mean the most to you and if your dad is still here hug him longer stay a little longer talk about everything cause in a little over a year i lost the most influential men of my life and my heart still hurts but i know i was loved by 2 of the greatest men I will ever know or love. Forgive often and love more and to every father there is and every father that they didn't have to be Happy Father's Day and to my dad's i loved you then i love you still always have always will and thank you for showing me what real love feels like

Well.. my family is split in two different states and we always have to travel back and forth, but ive never for a second felt the absence of both parents as they tried to do their best for us. My best memory of my dad is when he taught me how to ride a bike then when i fell he went and treated me to some junk😂.. nice times those..

@Nwosu . I lost my dad last 2000. But my memories of him lingers everyday.😢

Cherish your father every minute of your day. 🤗🌺
