My Christmas With Out My Dad 2024
Life isn’t the same with out you dad. I love you R.I.P.
Christmas without you once again Dad
At 29, I cried like a child.
God took the dad that I loved
The house was quiet, lights softly aglow,
But inside, an ache I couldn’t let show.
I wanted to scream, but the sound was trapped,
Caught in memories where time overlapped—
Of laughter and warmth, of your gentle care,
every Christmas dad you were always there.
Why did cancer take a man so kind?
A loving heart, a brilliant mind.
You gave so much, you asked so little,
A soul so strong, a soul so gentle.
This season feels hollow, lost and bare,
With empty spaces everywhere.
But in each light, I see you still,
In every quiet, a space you fill.
Though I can’t bring you back, I hold you tight,
In whispered prayers, in candlelight.
And as Christmas comes, I know I’ll find,
You’re here with me, in heart and mind.
It’s been 36 years, but it feels like yesterday—
Each day, I look at your photo and pray,
Tears falling for my one true friend,
My dad, my guide, my love will never end.
❤️ Rest in peace, Dad, I miss you so much. ❤️

And did I also mention that I adoree your poetry?? It's well synchronized and well rhymed and arranged
Woww.. such a heartfelt tribute. I also lost my dad in 2012. It's still not believable, as his memory still lives in me
Oh my God, you made me cry so hard...............Thank you.
Lost my dad during the Christmas season as well. I know how you feel. It's a good reminder that this is the season for family. We won't always have each other and memories are hard to hug.
The first year is the hardest, but the loss still remains. Lovely tribute
Oh that is so touching and brings a tear to my eye. I saw my own dad in a dream last night as I sometimes do, having lost him a few years ago. With sympathy in your grief. Best wishes
A very beautiful tribute to your Dad. I lost my Dad 22 months ago. It’s a pain that never goes away.
Dear Marie - It seems this time of year it hurts even more - We, in the Village Bucket, feel your loss..! j.in.l.a.
This is lovely and brought a tear to my eye. I truly understand how our dads are the first men we learn from and the role model we use to pick our mates. I miss mine, too. Thanks for putting it into words!
Very moving. What a tribute. And here is he, living on in your words and the feeling behind them.
So heartfelt- dad hears and is so proud of you. Well-written!
Congratulations dear on winning the first place for Most Subscribed this week 🎉🎉🤗 Keep up the good work 👍
So sorry! My dad died on my birthday! Holidays are the worst!💕💗
Very sad.i feel your sorrow
There are no expressive words stronger than these words in expressing love and that flow of pathos
This is a way to honor your dad. I lost mine a few years ago and mom also and I miss so much. Christmas and any holiday are not the same anymore. Good work.
