I literally am about to cry right now it is getting so close to my dad's birthday and I'm getting…

❤️❤️

I'm sorry for your loss. But remember all the amazing things you'll be able to tell your children about him!

I know exactly how you feel my dad passed September 20th due to a hit and run and I swear this month has been the hardest. Just stay strong 😘

I know it's hard but he is still with you and all you can do is remember the good times ya'll had.

@littleonemorning thank you. Yeah there's a lot I'm gonna tell them about him. Its harder to cope with alot right now. My family isn't giving me my father's ashes. I told my grandparents that they could keep them for awhile but I want them back and now they moved to NC and my aunt is making a closet at her house for a " Shrine" And putting my dad's ashes in their according to her. I want them back but my mom and one of my sisters said they don't care if we get them back because " They are JUST ashes" And they aren't fighting f9r them. They arent just ashes they are the last physical part of my father. So I have no idea if I'm ever gonna get my fathers ashes back 😔😢 and my mom's trying to teach my kids that her bf is "grandpa" Which is not ok by me. I've already told her about that. But of course she doesn't respect me enough to do as I wish with my children.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. My grandfather passed away right after Christmas and I hate that time of year now. I always have a mental breakdown. And now that my kids are gone it makes it worse. But it gets easier. What I like to do is write him a letter and put it in a bottle. Then I drive it out to the beach and throw it into the sea. You could try something similar. Like writing a letter and putting it in one of those floating lanterns and releasing it on his birthday. Its just a symbolic thing to do that helps me feel still connected to him. He wasn't buried so I have no grave site to visit. So this way we still get to talk. 👆❤

@taishonnat I'm sorry for your loss I hope it gets easier to deal with for you sweety. And thank you

@ilovemychildren that is such a great idea thank you

I hope you feel better

@twinmomma2b, ugh. I'm so sorry. That would be hard on anyone. I hope that it gets sorted out and just always remind your kids that he is NOT their grandpa. I don't even call the man my grandma remarried grandpa. (never knew my moms dad, he passed about when my grandma was pregnant with my mom)

My dad passed away when i was 17 and i never called the guy my mom was with for 10 years dad and when i ever do have a child they will not call him grandpa and my mom passed away March 5th of this year. My child will hear a lot about their grandma and grandpa. My parents were wonderful people!

@littleonemorning and my mom is always saying her new bf does so much more than my father did. Like no. No he doesn't. My father provided for me and my sister pur whole lives. Just because her bf is nice means nothing to me.

@twinmomma2b, i understand that! Just keep strong, I'm sure he is a nice guy, but she needs to understand he isn't going to replace your father. This just might be how she is coping. My dad got remarried like not even a full year after my parents divorce and I'm still on the fence about his new wife. She's not bad, but their marriage is apples and oranges to what my parents had.

@danielswifey I'm sorry for your loss!

@twinmomma2b thank you
