I'm getting kinda sad...?
Well as you know father's day is coming up. I'm seeing lots of questions like, "What should I get my dad for Father's day" etc. I miss my dad. He died not too long ago. How can I celebrate Father's Day, too? Daddy's grave is in another state, so I can't go visit it. I wish I could.

Abby first I want to tell you that I'm sorry you lost your father.
There is a website called findagrave.com this is a place where you could make a memorial for your father.
It is a free service, you could post some pictures of your father and even write something about him so that others would know who he was.
There are people involved with the site that would even go to the cemetery where your father is and take a picture of his marker for you if you requested it.
Your father would have a special page dedicated to him where you could pay your respects anytime you wanted. You can leave virtual flowers and notes about him on that page.
The reason I know so much about this is because I recently lost my sister and someone made a page for her there.
Even though I live in the same City where she is laid to rest and can/do visit her grave, I still go to her page and leave her messages and flowers.
Hope this helps some.

I'm sorry to learn that you have lost your Dad. I did too at a young age. I now make it a point to try and do something that he would be proud of me for.
I go to a library and read books about how to do some of the things he liked to do. Sometimes I find cool things on the internet that he would like to do or learn. He was an advid reader, so that's one thing I know for sure.(I do not always do the things, but at least I know what they involve and what it's about.)
If you have an uncle, maybe give him a call or visit him and talk about your Dad.( An aunt can do the same) I'm sure they would like to remember him also in some special way. They might like to just have you listen to stories about when your Dad was a kid. Older relatives enjoy talking about the past.
If family members are not around, just visit a friend and tell them that they are so lucky to have their father today. Then tell them about something that you and your Dad di together. Talking and remembering him is the most important thing, it does not matter how you do it...just remember the fun things you did together. He would be proud of you for thinking about him.
Bless you for caring.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. A real father is a lifetime blessing and one to be cherished even after you are separated.
I am proud of you for wanting to celebrate Father's Day despite your broken heart. With all of my heart I wish I could miss my father. He died a few years ago, but the hurt he gave me still rears its ugly head at times. But he wasn't the only one...
I think you should get a scrapbook or a shoebox or something like that, and every Father's Day add a card or a letter to it. You can describe what's happening in your life to him, or write about things you remember doing with him, or just get a card thanking him for loving you. As you grow older this will become more and more precious to you, and if you have children it will leave a legacy for them as well. What a wonderful way to show them who their grandfather was!
Your daddy's body is in another state but he is not. He left his body - he's not bound to it any longer. You can remember him anywhere you like, and his memory will become sweeter and sweeter each year.
There are so many people who don't have a "daddy". You are sad now, and you miss him now, but his love will bless you throughout the rest of your life even so.
Hugs...

Go volunteer to serve a meal Sunday at a homeless shelter. Tell one client that you're doing this in memory of your father. It'll be a special moment for him, and you'll feel your father's love shining on you from wherever he is. Good luck.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Maybe you can honor him by going to a resteraunt that he liked to go to with the rest of your family, or simply talking about old memories is enough to help you through it. Remembering him keeps his spirit alive and with you.
