I think that this poem says alot, I also lost my dad it will be 5 years in August and still to this day it is very hard to handle. For some reason this year it is hitting me pretty hard. I tell me husband all the time especially on Father's Day that he really needs to let is father know just how much he means to him. That not only goes for my husband, everybody needs to let their father know just how much they mean, and enjoy them while you have them because you never know just how much longer they will be around.

I strongly feel that this poem is the one Father's Day poem which would cause many who still have their fathers alive and well to be grateful that they are still around. In spite of the stubborn stereotypes surrounding fatherhood (and fathers, in general), I believe that this poem speaks the truth about the importance of the father in the family. Such an acknowledgment of fathers is terribly long-overdue!

My son lost his father almost a year ago. The last time my son and I saw his father was Father's Day. He died less than a month after that. This poem fits everything so well. My son misses his dad so much. I do too! We loved him very much and its sad to say but he never knew how much. He too thought no one loved him or believed in him. On 07/16/2004 - he suffered a seisure and died. Unexpectedly. Leaving us and the rest of the people who loved him. Thank you for this poem - it is excellent because it needs to let people know that we never know when our last time to speak, hug, talk or listen is. You never know when its too late.

I lost my dad when i was 12, 12 days after my birthday. Well my parents were split up since i was like 6 or 7 so i never really got to see him but on weekends, but those weekends ment so much to me. anyways i never got the chance for him to hear me say goodbye and i love him because he was going brain dead at the hospital. This is why i love this poem
Kim
HeY!. I found this poem very touching because not long ago my father died in a tragic mine accident. It feels good to know im not alone!
Tiffany
Thanks for writing this poem. I lost my dad to cancer at the age of 13. I miss him soo much. When I read this poem I had tears rolling down my cheeks because it touched me that much. This poem describes what I feel in words so perfectly. Thanks so much again!

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.

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
