My father passed away on 11/11/04. My heart is broken but he suffered so, it was easier to let him go than to watch him suffer. He was a World War II Veteran and died on Veteran's Day. I miss him so much. I always kissed him on the forehead over each eye and would love to be able to kiss him and hold his frail weak hand. I will have to deal with this loss but am not sure if my heart will ever heal.

This poem has got to be the best i have ever read. I lost my dad in August 2003, and i miss him so much. The poem almost made me cry, i loved it so much.

donna

claudia

We would do good to remember our dads all year- and not be too busy to take the time for that call or visit. Your poem was sweet and touched my heart- my Daddy has been gone only nine days. I'm 53 and still not ready to say goodbye

I understand this poem b/c my dad past away 6 years ago and the hurt i felt then is still the same now and words cant describe how much i miss him.

Tiffany

I wanted to let you know that this poem touched my heart because my dad is in a coma and he isn't going to be here for father's day. I love this poem and I feel your pain. I know it's hard but I'm glad you got through it. Well, I gotta go. Bye!

This poem is special because i lost my dad last year. You should never go a single day without saying how much you love your family. You never know when God will take you.

Wendy

This poem really hit home. I lost my daddy Jan. 6, 1992 when I was only 13. I still weep for him daily.

sarah

This poem was so good. My dad died a year and a half ago when I was 18. He died instanly in a car wreck two days before Father's Day. On Father's day we had to plan his funeral. This year, the 2nd anniversery of his death (June 15) falls on Father's day. It was very nice to read this poem.

I only see my dad every other week b/c my parents are divorced. This poem made me realize no matter how many fights you have with them you could never hate them. Also that life is very pecious have fun and never regret anything you do. I love this poem

angel

I lost my father when I was 7yrs. old. I thought he had died of cancer but when I was 13 I found out that he died of AIDS. And also that my mother has it (Thank God she is still w/me but she very ill. ) I love my daddy and miss him alot! so I know how u feel.

adam

this poem is so sad. I lost my dad five years ago when I was only nine. I, too miss him dearly.

Charm

This hits home oh so well for it has been three years to date that my father went in Ohio State University Hospital for a Heart Transplant. I had a wonderful childhood and alot of memories but they never replace the face and the hug that I got everyday. He was a very specail father, grandfather and friend. I miss him dearly.

Tracy

Hey, I really loved reading your poem, it meant alot to me, I lost my father in 98 and it still hurts to think about it because he died on fathers day. I loved your poem it was great!

Rene'e

I really enjoyed reading your poem. I lost my father February, Friday the 13th of 1998. It was the hardest thing to let go of. I now write poems of all sorts. But mainly of my fathers death.

Missy

This poem is a great one! It really touched me because I lost my dad last September, and you never know when something bad is going to happen, and they will not be there with you anymore, so cherish the moments you have with your loved ones because you never know when you won't see them again.

ashley

I was really touched by this poem, my dad died june 28 2000 a day before my 16 birthday but we lost alot of precious time because o fstupid fights. if you still have your Dad just tell him you love him.

I really enjoyed this poem.My father is not dead, but I dont have alot of contact with him..my parents are divorced and when he remarried.he just picked up his new life and left his past in the past..I still love him very much..I am always telling children to be happy when their father hug them ..I would give a million dollars if my dad was in my life..

Neon

I really liked this poem. It's deep and brings reality to life. It speaks the truth about death, which so many people hate to grasp.

This is wonderful and says it all!

Debbie

Thank you for writing such a moving poem about a father that has gone home. On July 28, my father went home, I am the only child, it's very hard to put words on how you feel about someone you love so much. But, I thank God that he good you this gift. Thank you for your words.

Brandon

This poem really touched me, I also just lost my Father in October of 98. Take the words to heart and tell you Dad how you feel, while you still can! I only wish I still had the chance.

I guess I am partial to this poem, because it was written by my creative sister, and about our loving daddy, whom we miss very much.
