Subject: Daddy

My dad died 5 years ago when i was 10, but i have no one to talk to about him and i never have. None of my friends have ever met him and none of them have ever lost anyone so close. When daddy left us when i was 5 i used to pray that he would come back and live with us but for the past years its been prayers that he will come back. He can live wherever he likes as long as he's on earth. the silly thing is i know it can never happenbut there's no harm in trying is there?

Subject:My daddy (and mummy)

I understand exactly the feelings you mention. When my Daddy passed away when I was 12 (9 years ago), I always used to wish for him to come back, say he'd been hiding, or anything, I still wish that, I wouldn't be angry, him coming back would be more than I could ask, and now I'm doing the same for my Mummy, since she died in March this year. I see them both in my mind, and wish so hard they would come back after a long holiday. I'm 21, the reality still doesn't hit, but don't think you're it's not normal, I'm sure there are others who do exactly the same. x

Subject:Hello

I lost my dad 4 years ago and theres not a day when i dont wish he was here. i know how u feel bout talking to your friends, non of my friends knew my dad because he moved away when i was 11 so i hardly saw him. i try to talk to my family, but its hard becuase then they get upset.
my dad died of a heart attack, but he had also just been told that he had cancer, so it helps me to think that at least he didnt have chance to suffer from that. theres not much anyone can say to heal the pain, i talk to my friends a lot about my dad even tho they didnt know him, its good to talk about him tho.
hope u feel better soon, keep strong!
