Sending virtual hugs to everyone without a father today

If you don’t have a father due to death or estrangement I am sending you virtual hugs today. I lost my father at the age of three and don’t remember him, this has always been a tough holiday for me that I have been forced to celebrate with my uncle and with the fathers of the partners I have had over the years. I can’t mourn my father because I have no memories but I always feel a strange, sad void. I wish mother’s and father’s day exist.

For those of you that don’t have a father what are you doing today?

    @xandriarain Sorry that you lost your dad so young. Hope those you celebrate with were father figures to you and helped fill at least a bit of the void. Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way.

    @xandriarain Thank you for sharing about your father; I think you can mourn, even without memories...you can mourn the void in your life. Also, maybe you could try looking at Father's Day as an opportunity for a self-care day! Big hugs going out to you, missy, be gentle with yourself!

    I haven't spoken to my dad since I was a teenager, so Father's Day just doesn't exist for me, it's not even on my radar. I will be attending the Boulder group cuddle today, and I absolutely cannot wait!!!

    @xandriarain thank you. Lost my dad 8 yrs ago. Sending hugs back to you. It's pretty much a normal day for me.

    Thank you @xandriarain I lost my dad when I was in college. He was only 48 and had an unexpected heart attack. I think about him frequently. I hope he would be proud of the man I’ve become.

    Thanks, I sure miss my Dad, for the lucky ones that still have there dads with them, let him know how you feel, give him a hug today !!!!
    The one thing I regret to this day is not telling him how much he meant to me.
    I never told him I loved him or gave him a hug. It was because in our family no one ever showed affection and that went back to my grandmother. And it was ok at the time as that is what I grew up with.
    I didn’t start showing emotion and hugging until my 2nd marriage as the wife’s family was all about hugging when greeting each other.
    Happy Father’s Day to all Father’s!!!!!

    Lost my Dad just over two years ago. It never really gets better, just hurts a bit less with time.

    I look forward to the day my dad dies. Could be another thirty years, alas. My condolences to those of you who had decent fathers, and miss them. I envy you a bit.

    I played Diablo 3 with Zwei today! It was fun.

    Thanks for the virtual hugs. My father has been absent for decades and dead for two
