I Lost My Father to Cancer

I Miss My Dad :'(

My dad died to cancer on the 19/04/2007 when I was only 6, I'm only 11 now and miss him deeply, I'm about to go to secondary school and I still know deep in my heart he will be with me everywhere I go, he is my guardian angel and he is my hero, I still stop to think about him and remember him and start to cry a bit, I know he doesn't like to see me crying but  I can't stop myself. I know he will always be with me, my mum, my 9 brothers, 5 sisters and my 7 nieces and nephews, I love my dad, we let a balloon with a message stuck to it go every year in his memory and it is always sent back by who ever found it, this year we haven't heard from the balloon yet but hopefully we will xxx

    Lucky You, when you are an adult, all those emotions are simply worse. You are more conscious about what is happening and it is difficultier to you. I think, everywhere a death of a parent is horrible, both for a child and an adult.

    Dear LSK11. I understand how you must feel. I was a little older than you are now when I lost my mother to cancer and my father to heart disease. It's alright to cry and miss him and don't ever think that you need to put on a brave face. It's very hard to lose someone you love and although time makes it sting a little less, you never forget and you always think of them. I'm 42 years old now and whilst I miss their physical presence, I feel as though they've been with me with every step I've taken. Good luck with secondary school. I Know your father will be watching his little girl grow up, with pride.

      I'm really sorry for your loss too, Time does make it sting a little bit less now, i never do try to put a brave face on anyway , i don't really care if my friends see me crying and you are right it's hard to lose someone, especially someone that close to you, I feel the same as you, i always feel as if my dads right beside me taking my hand and God at the other side, Thanks for the good luck for my secondary school, i know he'll be watching me grow up too, i do believe he's proud of me too, i passed my AQE and GL 11 plus exams, i win lots of awards at school and i still remember he called me his pink princess <3 thanks for replying xx
