I know just how you feel. When times get really tough, I just talk to him (not out loud of course, don't want folks to think I'm crazy!). Yes, it helps. My sister and I know he still has a hand in a lot that goes on in our lives. Keep writing to him - he's listening!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007131858060167081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667514217502990299.post-13633576489291490782009-02-13T06:06:00.000-06:002009-02-13T06:06:00.000-06:00It's a good thing to do.

I figure that when I moved out of home, they were all absent in some way and now that they have died we just inhabit different spaces - so I still regard them as present somewhere......if that makes sense!<BR/><BR/>If I need a car parking space, or something to fit in a space, or something specific to happen - I just ask 'Mother' and it usually works out. So much so, that within my circle of friends, 'Mother is a legend' as they have seen the results and they often call on her or thank her if something extremely coincidental happens.<BR/><BR/>I think writing "Letters To Dad" is a good idea.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it is actually 'Mother' who helps, in my case - or one of the others.....needless to say, I am happy for all the help I can get - moreover I am quite looking forward to finding out for myself one day...If I get to see any of them - wherever they have gone to.Antlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350998624229841410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667514217502990299.post-60024981703221879172009-02-13T00:46:00.000-06:002009-02-13T00:46:00.000-06:00May your Dad be always close to you,especially in ...May your Dad be always close to you,<BR/>especially in times of need! <BR/><BR/>I lost mine way too young and miss him every day.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667514217502990299.post-56302724610294942092009-02-12T20:31:00.000-06:002009-02-12T20:31:00.000-06:00that is absolutely beautiful... it moved me.that is absolutely beautiful... it moved me.Slydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170343849186268727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667514217502990299.post-26596065170255561782009-02-12T16:41:00.000-06:002009-02-12T16:41:00.000-06:00My dad is gone but I still catch a glimpse of him....My dad is gone but I still catch a glimpse of him. Both my stepmother and I swear he's stalking us. Three psychics have told me that he's watching and is worried about me. I can appreciate that but wonder why he didn't save me from my nutty mother.

He was a kind of glue for your thoughts as well as for your heart <BR/><BR/>Well.. better stated: When you think about him you seem to get to where you can put things together for a solution.
