I know exactly how you feel. I lost my dad when I was 5 yrs. old. He was ONLY 28 yrs. old. He had a massive heartattack. I love and miss him so much it is unreal. I think about him everyday. I'm 29 now, a mother of 2 boys and a wife. But still there is a large void in my life that only my dad can fill. but he's not here. I love you daddy,Still your baby girl

I know I haven't lost my father, and I can't imagine how it feels. But this poem really makes me appreciate life and what it brings. A father is a primary role in a daughter's life, and I am so thankful and will never again take that for granted. This was very well written, and expresses the deepest emotions.

Thank you for writing such a beautiful poem.It has touched my soul.While I read it,I was crying.It's exactly how I feel inside but I'm too scared to let it out.I was just 7 years old when my father was killed.I'm 15 now and the pain seems to grow with me.It hurts me when I hear my friends call their fathers'DAD',because I know I don't have anybody to call "DAD"
