This is going to be a rough day. I've already made plans for the day. When I do things it helps on these days. If I don't, it just feels worse not making any efforts at anything. 1 thing I'm thankful for, even though this is 1 of the hardest days of the year, I have an older brother who is just like my Dad was. If you have anything go wrong or need help, he's there. He cares and does things to show it. He took me in for a long time with my last leg fracture, put me on a budget, and got me to get straightened up on my financial self-destruction at that time. And also was there when I quit drinking, with emotional support, etc. Anyway, it's bittersweet, as I miss my Dad every day, but have my brother now. I hope all on here who have a hard day on Father's Day make it through that day OK. Thanks for listening.

Pumpkin,
I know how you feel. Father's Day is really hard for me too. I'm going away this weekend so hopefully I'll be distracted. I agree with you that keeping busy helps. I also think the anticipation of the day is worse than the day itself (at least that's how it's been for me). This will be my third Father's Day without my Dad. Before he was killed, I never knew what to buy him. Now, I see so many things that would be perfect for him. I find that really weird. I just wish he was here so I could give him a big hug. Whenever I dream of him, that's always the first thing that I do. Usually, I wake up with tears in my eyes. I miss him so much. He was the only person in my life who only gave me positive energy and reinforcement.
