Said goodbye to Dad

Sending you my love too, Minxie. I know it's hard, but it will get easier as you go along.

It's good that you have his diaries, they will help you feel that he is still close. My Dad passed away in the early 1990's and I have a gardening diary he kept one year. I get it out and read it every now and then - it's mostly just lists of jobs he had to do in the garden and a record of what he had planted (I can hear his voice when I read the plant names), but bang in the middle of it all he describes the night we all gathered together for my birthday! I will never part with it.

Take things slowly and take it easy on yourself. I hope you can find comfort in your Dad's writings xx

So sorry minxie. Enjoy your memories

minxie, I am so very sorry ,I felt so lost when my father died. I send you hugs x

Oh I know how you feel, so sorry.

I still feel sad not to have my dear Dad, it is 8 years now. Dad left some diaries (not private, just every day stuff) and I took comfort from reading them for quite a few months after.

I'm glad the funeral went well and you all saw how much he was loved. Be kind to yourself, he is still with you in your heart x
