We miss you more with each new day,
In little things, in what you’d say.
Another Sunday passes slow.
A quiet house, a heavy glow.

We miss you grumbling through the news,
Complaining loud about your views.
Everything and anything, you always had a word to fling.

But then you laugh, oh how you’d laugh,
So hard you couldn’t catch your breath.
Tears would stream down from your eyes,
You would wheeze and wipe them, mesmerized.

We all be laughing with you too,
Not at the joke, but just at you.
That kind of joy, it doesn’t fade
It’s in the memories we’ve made.

But now you’re gone, and in your place
There’s quiet in your favorite space.
A big old hole we cannot fill,
And yet we feel you with us still.

We talk, we smile, we sometimes cry,
But carry you as days go by.
For love like yours will never part
You left your laugh inside our heart.


We love you so much Dad ❀️❀️❀️❀️ We never forget you and there’s always a seat at our table for you πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈ

Dear Dad,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Lately, it feels like words just aren’t enough they fall short of everything I want to say, everything I feel. I keep searching for the right way to express how much your absence continues to affect us, but the right words just don’t seem to come.

We miss you deeply, every single day. There’s not a moment that passes when you’re not in our thoughts. Your presence, your strength, your laughter, left a mark on our lives that nothing can replace. Life moves on, but it never feels quite the same without you here.

We can never thank you enough for everything you did for us. You gave so much your time, your love, your sacrifices and we are forever grateful. We love you so much, Dad. More than words can ever truly say.

We all carry you with us in everything we do. And while the world keeps turning, there’s a space in our hearts that will always belong to you. We wish, more than anything, that you were still here with us.

Happy Father’s Day Dad. I can’t believe it’s our second one without you. Life isn’t the same anymore and won’t ever be. I love and miss you so much. You were the best dad ever and I’ll forever be grateful for you. I hope I’m making you proud. Until we meet again Dad πŸ’™

Dear Dad,

Happy Father’s Day, even though I can still hear your voice saying, β€œIt’s just a normal day”You were never one to make a big fuss about things like this. You’d shrug it off with that quiet smile and tell me not to spend any money, not to worry about gifts. But today, even if you’d call it just another day, I can’t help but think about you more than ever. There’s a space in my life that only you could fill with your advice, your jokes, your steady presence that always made everything feel okay. I miss hearing your laugh, the way you’d look at things with such a calm and wise perspective. You always knew how to make me feel safe, even in silence. Even though you’re not here physically, I carry you with me every single day. In my choices, in my thoughts, in the way I try to handle life I still hear your voice, sometimes reminding me to toughen up, other times telling me to slow down and breathe. You may have called this a β€œnormal day,” but to me, it’s one more reason to pause and honor you. Thank you for everything you gave me not just when you were here, but even now, in the lessons that continue to live on. I love you, Dad.

I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. It’s hard to put into words how much I miss you, but I’ll try.

Some days, it hits me in small ways like hearing a song you used to play, or seeing something that would’ve made you laugh. Other times, it feels heavier. There are so many things I wish I could tell you, ask you, or just share with you. Life keeps moving, but there’s always a piece of it that feels a little quieter without you here.

I miss your voice, your advice, and the way you always seemed to know what to say even when I didn’t want to hear it. And your jokes, even the bad ones. I miss just knowing you were there.

No matter how much time passes, you’re always with me in the way I think, in the choices I make, and in the stories I carry. I hope I’m making you proud.

Until we meet again, know that you are deeply loved and never forgotten.

Well Dad 😩 can’t believe 1 year already 😞 It’s still don’t feel right you are no longer here with us😞 I still remember holding your hand asking you to hold on and hearing sirens in the distance then your head fell down and you were gone 😞 that image haunts me so much and so much flashbacks come to me randomly 😒 It all happened so fast without warning 😞 We need you here with us but unfortunately all we got now is memories and photos but that don’t help with the pain πŸ˜• It never gets easier that’s the biggest lie 😞 You are a huge miss and this family will never be the same again 😞 But the small consolation is you are now pain free and that’s a good feeling knowing but for us we have the pain forever to carry 😞 We miss you so much Dad 😒 love you so much and thank you for everything πŸ˜žπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

1 year without you Dad. How has it been a year since I last saw you? It still hurts as if it was yesterday. Nothing could have prepared me for that day. Life will never be the same without you. This year has flown by but has been very hard and painful. It hurts that you won’t be able to see me achieve my dreams and see my future life. You won’t be able to walk me down the aisle, be the best grandad to my future children and give me advice when I need it. You were the best dad ever and I’ll forever be proud to be your daughter. You were my best friend and hero. I love and miss you so much. When I get to see you again I’ll run straight to you and give you a massive cuddle. Until we meet again Dad 🀍
