If you've not spoken to them for a while give your folks a call to catch up.
Tricky.
Such a shame, seemed a top bloke
Not possible
no,
OP under the impression that everybody's Dad is a "top bloke", tragedy...
Will do.
Was it really necessary to make that comment? ^^

Defeatists....
Will do, he'll be asleep, so may not appreciate it
My Dad is in Heaven. How do I call him?

Leave Moe alone, you bully.

I answered that one. Keep up.

Where is that? Overseas?
My Dad is in Heaven
The Messiah is among us...
Nagging thoughts made me do this the other morning. I normally phone pm. Turns out the poor sod had fallen over and spent two hours on the floor, Diabetes is a bitch.
Edit. Meant to also say that as he didn't answer for half an hour, I left work to check
^^Is Boris Becker a Spirit Medium ?
Do you have to hang up as soon as you've said "Hi"?
Do you have to hang up as soon as you've said "Hi"?
Only after you've told him exactly what you think of him.
Hmmm tricky here too, not sure if he went anyhwere other than in the Cremetorium, the destination after that is a moot subject.
I'll say Hi to my Mum instead.

Something had been bugging me to call my dad as I had not spoken to him for a couple of months. Called Friday had a good two hour catch up and he died the following day.
dead? alive? don't know, don't care, either way won't waste any of my free minutes

I wish I could. Had a chat at the grave yesterday though.....
Miss mine every day.
Why is Jenson Button's dad's death news?

Sorry to hear of your loss.
Goes for all of you who've lost your Dad, or aren't in contact for whatever reason. I love me Dad, we work together and we fight like **** but I can't really imagine what it'd be like without him.
Doubt mine will hear me over the sound of the telly...

That makes me sad and happy at the same time Engineeringcowboy.
I hope it was a good chat and gives you some comfort.
I wish my last chat with my dad hadn't been me doing all the talking,and that it's true about hearing being the last sense to go.
Goes for all of you who've lost your Dad
Don't waste your breath.
or aren't in contact for whatever reason
Unfortunately some folk are ****s and some of us got them as dads
Those of you who mourn your dads are the lucky ones though it may not seem it at the time of your loss and dealing with it.
I feel for your loss as i never had one to loose [ no I am not bastard but he is ]
It is a shame but such is life.
My dads on a cruise ship in the Carribean at the moment. Could be difficult...
Despite my repeated lessons, my technophobic Dad has problems using his phone. Go and visit him.

Good question. Im sorry for the families loss but its not news worthy
If I had his number I'd calling to tell him he's a ****. But hoping someone else would answer an say he died a painfull death 🙂
That's sad news indeed, he seemed like a great guy to me and very supportive of his son.
I wish I could talk to my dad, but sadly I can't, but I do think of him very often.
Long Distance II
Though my mother was already two years dead
Dad kept her slippers warming by the gas,
put hot water bottles her side of the bed
and still went to renew her transport pass.
You couldn't just drop in. You had to phone.
He'd put you off an hour to give him time
to clear away her things and look alone
as though his still raw love were such a crime.
He couldn't risk my blight of disbelief
though sure that very soon he'd hear her key
scrape in the rusted lock and end his grief.
He knew she'd just popped out to get the tea.
I believe life ends with death, and that is all.
You haven't both gone shopping; just the same,
in my new black leather phone book there's your name
and the disconnected number I still call.

On a similar note, if you've lost track of your dad and are thinking of tracking him down, but haven't been "getting around to it" - do it now. Ooops doesn't quite cover the feeling when you find out he died 4 years ago 🙁
I just hope McLaren can build him a car this year to pay tribute to his Dad in the best possible way.
My dad is in a nursing home, 14 months now. Suffered a stroke, lost leg mobility so in a wheel chair. Dad is still compos mentos upstairs but needed care and help my mum could not do on her own. He is looked after well. Great nurses and carers but in a home. Never imagined that happening.
That is the worst thing. It is like a bereavment you do not get over.
But my dad is still alive and switched on. Cannot put a price on that compard to some residents in the Home.
I visit dad and show him my blog-it`s become his eyes of around the county he used to see before he retired when he was East Lothians first, then senior Countryside Ranger (first Countryside Ranger in Scotland).
Many of us do things because of our fathers, everything i do is my dads fault!, every minute you can spend with your dad is a minute to treasure... 🙂
Speak to my parents almost daily on the other side of the world.
Father is a stubborn person who like watching ladyboys while in Thailand 🙄 ... so I announced loudly to the entire family for a good laugh. Mum wasn't impressed so labelled him dirty old man.
No big deal as I don't care whether he knew they were ladyboys or not as he is 83.
My dad is the most northern bloke on the entire planet. If I phoned him, out of the blue, without it being a question about bleeding central heating system, or a rant about what on earth Alonso is still doing at Ferrari, he'd assume This was me coming out of the closet, and that my next statement would be about my favourite musical!
However, we see each other a lot, as we like discussing Alonso, and radiators, but not our favourite musicals, over a few pints, or a mountain of red wine and cheese! He 'a a top bloke is my dad! Which makes it easier to face up to the fact that i seem to be morphing into him!
I'm glad some people took this as intended.
Mine was 60 recently and it starts to make you realise one day you won't be able to pick up the phone. Plenty of life in the old dog yet though and he's enjoying it with his girlfriend!
My old man was an old misery in his later years, but we did have a lot of shared interests. Wish I could pick up the phone one more time and speak to him.
I wish I could but he died when I was nine and I have been subconsciously looking for a replacement ever since
