This is one xmas im not looking forward to as my dad has recently passed away. Its hard to get up each day & know you will never look upon his face again. I know death is hard at any time to face but why does it seem more hard at xmas. Im dreading the thoughts of going down to my mum's xmas morning knowing i will not see him enjoying his sup of whiskey, & having a laugh with friends & relatives.

Sorry. . . .

Thanks Mr crackles,

Aww am sorry you have to deal with this now. Take heart and try to dwell more on the good times you had with him.

So sorry to hear that, however, i am sure your Dad wont be happy to know that you wont be happy all cos of him, he would want u to enjoy your xmas and be happy.
So dig in deep within you and find the happiness, do it for him and do it for people around you and i pray that God will comfort you.

Pele O. May God comfort you and your family.

Try and think of the good memories. My dad passed away a few years ago and I still find myself smiling to myself sometimes when I remember the good times we shared together. Its hard, but I try not to feel sad when on special occassions he is not here to witness them.

As Femi said, I'm sure your dad will want you all to be happy.

It is well with you.

That is a good advice.
I am not sure what i would do when i lose my parent . . . . i beg God to bless me to bless them yafuyafu oh, so that i will know i did all i cld do while they were alive.

Thanks you guys, your kind words mean a lot, i appreciate it. May god bless you all.

Amen

Try and enjoy yourself while the fun last, he's dead and being moody won't bring him back, you're even lucky u have smthing to say and remember about ur dad, the story is different in my own case cos i lose him when i can hardly remember or say anything good or bad about him, such is life for you, all d same take heart.

Sorry. It will be well. Its a phase, it will soon go. Please be strong, your mum will need your strength, cos right now you are one of the best reasons she is not giving up. Take her out, make her happy, think of special things you can do together and let her know that happiness is still for people like her. All the best. I really pray you will look back after Christmas and be glad it came.
