Father's Day without a Father?

Will it be just another day? Has your father died or did you not know him? If so, do you have a man in your life now who is like a father to you?

If you don't have a man in your life who is like a father to you, do you wish you did?

Update:

This question is for all of you who read it.

Yes my father is dead, yes i have a man in my life who is like a father to me. I would like to know more about your point of view.

    At 63, I don't HAVE a father-figure or a father, and certainly no grandfather. However, I AM both father and grandfather and I love it! Two of my grandchildren don't have their fathers around, so I try to be as much of a father to them as I can. One of my grand daughters sometimes slips and calls me "Dad." It's one of the greatest compliments I've ever recieved. :))

As for this Fathers Day, do no longer concern approximately getting your self at the same time, this could be a cutting-edge life-quake for you. in case you ought to experience it, experience it! somebody else mentioned it, and that i agree, have a sturdy cry. experience undesirable for a at the same time as, then %. your self up and remind your self, Your Dad does not choose you to experience undesirable. He enjoyed you and could choose you to be happy. it could take it slow so which you will get so some distance, yet you will. For myself, those some years a later on Father's Day I even have extra of a quiet relection, some smiles, and sure nonetheless some tears. yet I did heal, and so will you, and healing is sturdy. do no longer think of that in case you heal, you're forgetting him! In healing you could flow directly to residing your life, the way he could have needed. So, in healing you honor him. sturdy success on your destiny, life has lots to offer.

    I have a father who never acted like he was my father. Loves my sisters! Thanks pop! And no, it won't be like any other day because lots of people have fathers who appreciate them and care for them and let them know it. I'll be thinking about that when it comes around once again.
