Thank you, Liz, that's a lovely thing to say. Yes, I am proud of my children and I am proud to be my father's daughter. Susan xx

Susan, my sympathies on the loss of your Dad, and what a lovely legacy from him, that warmth and closeness that help you all through this difficult time. Part of your Dad is in you and your children, who are now showing you that you did a good job in bringing them up so that they are not ashamed or afraid to show their feelings. You should feel proud to be their Mum and to be your father's daughter. Liz

Lynda and all those who have lost a child. I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like and I hope that I never do. Losing a parent is heartbreaking but is in the natural course of life. We aren't meant to outlive our children. Love to you. Susan

Susan. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I always look for blessings that come to us from such a loss, as you have found with your family. I lost my son in January and our loss has drawn all the rest of the family close together.My one son who has his own family had distanced himself. Now he has become so close to the rest of us we feel we have gained another son. So keep your spirits up and God bless and keep you and yours. Lynda x

How lovely, what a nice feeling it must have been. Sue x

If my Dad were still here, I would, Susan. I shall say it and hope he hears me.

Thank you everyone. Please make sure you say 'I love you' often. It was my last words to my Dad and for the first time in weeks he looked at me and gave me a 'Dad' smile. Susan

Please accept my sympathies on your sad loss.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Please believe me he is still around you, watching over you. Take care, kind regards, Linda. x

Susan, I remember the week after my Dad died too, last year. It was a very surreal time, as though it was all happening to someone else, but at the same time, I really felt surrounded by love, not just from my living family, my Mum, my sister, my stepmum even, but surrounded by Dad's love too. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family xxx

Sorry to hear of your loss Susan. Thinking of you. Maz. XX

Your dad has left a wonderful legacy - a family to be proud of. It'll not always be easy but you'll all get through it.

susan i know what you mean. my sister and i are like chalk and cheese and havent really spoken to each other properly for years. as i walked into the room ,she walked out.i would say hello debs and she would just grunt. but its all changed since my mum had her stroke. we now get on so well and its lovely to have my sister back. we laugh and chat together so much now its so sad though to think that my mum had to be so ill before we we spoke. love to you and your family susan susie xxx

Hi Susan, I too am a great believer in people living on in us, because of the important part they played in our lives and helped to shape us. When someone says 'By eck, your'e just like your Dad' or 'Your Mum would have said that', I take it as a great compliment to the two wonderful people who brought me up. Jay

Hugs from me too Sharon xx

Hi Sue, what a great attitude you have, I Admire your way of thinking and agree. Your father would be so proud of you. ((hugs)) just remember hes with you always in spirit. Roxanne xx

Thanks for that Sue - it is a comfort when, even in the dark times, we can remember and be thankful for the good things we still have. Love and hugs to you Kate

Love to you, Susan and thanks for sharing this with us, Caz xxxxxxxx

More hugs from me. That is a lovely thing to say brought tears to my eyes. xx
