Father's Day

Father’s Day Gift

June 20, 2017 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Father’s Day 2017. For once, we had a weekend day where there was nothing to do.  We had visited with both mine and Megan’s dads on Saturday, specifically planning to have an open day wedged into the seemingly constant stream of other events that have been taking time on our weekends together. Sarah was awake and moving well before i was (a…

Our First Father’s Day

September 10, 2016 by Kaiti Wallace Leave a Comment

  For the past month it has been difficult to ignore the father’s day cards that existed on stands in shopping centres almost everywhere I looked. Mentally trying to prepare for the day “it’s just another day, no different from any other”.   When the day arrived I woke with that mindset, it’s just another day. I called my dad to wish him…

Cards and Coffee Mugs

June 21, 2016 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Father’s day around our house was never a big production.  I was usually the first to wake up in the house on any given day, creep downstairs, make myself some coffee, and watch or read the news until everyone else started stirring.  I preferred it to be that way.  I didn’t relish any extra attention placed upon me.  I appreciated every…

Grief Like A River

June 22, 2015 by Tricia Bratton Leave a Comment

For the past few weeks, I have become weary of this grief. It’s not that I want to deny or forget my husband. I am still talking to him and kissing his photo in the mornings. I still think of him many times throughout the day and remember his words and his mannerisms and the unique way he walked down the hill toward the car.  It is just that the…

What About Don?

June 5, 2015 by Kelley Lynn Leave a Comment

It is now 3 years and almost 11 months (next week)since my beautiful husband left for work and never came home. In that time, I have (and still do) been to grief counseling weekly, tried many different widowed support groups, become a member of several online and in-person groups for widowed people, found support through Soaring Spirits and have…

Father’s Day

September 3, 2013 by Amanda Wright Leave a Comment

Last Sunday was Father’s Day. A day that I try to put on a happy, life-can-still-be-good smile that doesn’t quite reach my eyes.  A day that I try to acknowledge with the children in a way that is not morbid.  A day that always makes me feel sad. Not long after I woke, I heard sobs coming from my son’s room.  This is the child who was 5 when his…

Father’s Day, Independence Day

June 19, 2011 by Kim Hamer Leave a Comment

So I was gonna try and ignore Father’s Day. It’s Father’s Day and my kids don’t have one. I was gonna just treat it like every other Sunday only….Well last time I tried to run from one of the “big” days, like his anniversary death date, like his birthday, like random days when his loss seems to be around every corner, I get slammed,…
