Dads Empty Chair - Christmas Day


What I'd give if I could say,
"Hello Dad" in the same old way.
To hear his voice and see his smile,
to sit with him and chat for a while.
So if your Father is still here,
cherish him with care,
for you'll never know the heartache
until you see his empty

I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT MY FATHER, WHEN I WAS ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD BACK IN 1959 , we lived in a VERY COLD RUN DOWN SHACK, MY MOM WAS WORKING IN A TOBACCO BARN,TRYING TO EARN A FEW DOLLARS TO BUY SOME FOOD, SINCE IT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS,MY DAD IF YOU COULD CALL HIM ONE STAYED DRUNK ALL THE TIME,COULD NOT KEEP A JOB, WAS AT HOME WITH ME AND MY OTHER 4 BROTHER AND SISTERS.HE HAD ME SITTING ON HIS LAP,AND ASK ME WHAT I WANTED FROM THE STORE I TOLD HIM I WANTED SOME COOKIES AND CANDY. HE LEFT EARLY THAT MORNING TO GET A SACK OF COAL AND MY CANDY, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I WAS EVER TO SEE OR HEAR FROM HIM,ONE DAY WHILE I WAS IN BOOT CAMP THE IRS CAME TO SEE ME,THEY SAID MY DAD WAS FILLING MY NAME AS A DEPENDENT.WHAT A JOKE WE NEVER EVEN GOT A BIRTHDAY CARD OR A CHRISTMAS CARD NOTHING EVER. HE WAS KILLED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND, IT WAS OVER A MONTH AFTER THE FUNERAL BEFORE WE KNEW OF HIS DEATH, NOT SUCH A DAD.

Dad...soon will be 5 years since you unexpectedly to us went away. I see now that you had been hinting at your possible departure for along time thru jokes and hidden advices and such. I want you to know that I understand why you chose to not pursue a medical route differently. It was your choice and I truly respect that. I wish we had more time for all of us especially Mom and my girls, but in all things God knows best. It is selfish for me to cry for more time when I have so many memories but I am after all only human. I miss you daily but sometimes its inescapable and almost unbearable. I know this is just a post, but I hope you know you were a prince to me. A big teddy bear that can never be replaced. Until we meet again.....your little girl loves you forever. Love u Short Stuff

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr AKHERE and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com
or
call/whatsapp:+2349057261346 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

I was on a Golf Coarse when I received a Phone call telling me that my Dad had passed away that Morning. That Day was November 19, 2009 it was about 10:00AM. My Dad had Colon Cancer and that was what took his Life. I had spent the last 2 Weeks with him trying to make him as comfortable as I could. Even though he never felt any better, I still wouldn't take anything in the World for our time together during those 2 Weeks. My advice to anyone that will heed my advice would be to spend as much time as you can with your Dad and Mom you only have 1 of each so cherish your time with them while you still have them for they will not be there with you forever. Dad and Mom I Miss You Both and Love You Dearly, Until I See You Again, Goodbye and Thank You Both For All You Did For My Brother's and Sister and I While We Where All Together. With Love Your Son Knucklehead or Knuck For Short!
