Today I Turn 55, And It’s My First Birthday Without My Father
It’s my birthday, but it’s hard to celebrate, because my beloved father passed away last August.

I miss him so much, and it doesn’t get any easier. I know I was blessed to have him for 54 years, but that makes it harder, because he was such a part of me for so long. We were always close, and the world is so much darker without him. I still can’t think of him without crying over my loss.

He was the sweetest man on earth, with a happy smile and laugh no matter what he was facing. Truly sad not to have his birthday wish, hug and kiss.

I am still blessed with mom. So I have much still to celebrate, along with my own family.

I hope he is out there somewhere wishing me a happy birthday.

I wish I could say it gets easier. I lost my father a week before Christmas in 2013.

Enjoy the time you have with your family and mom as it will go by all too quickly and you'll see dear old dad soon enough.

Also, Happy Birthday. It is what you make of it.

I’m sorry, my husband lost his at 8 and my mom at 17. As for the experience, you don’t know what you were missing and grew up without that bond, so there’s no sense of loss I assume, for what you never had, and no memories to make you yearn for the past. Not saying that’s good or bad, just so different. It makes me so grateful to have 54 year, which is more than most people.

That is so true. and I am doing my best to treasure every moment with mom and my family while I can. I really hope more than ever before, that there is an afterlife, and that I will see him again. It gives me hope and I just wish I could feel happy again like I did when my family was still complete.

I think back to my childhood, when I had grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles and people that are all gone. It’s sad as how we age, less and lesson the older relatives are in your family, until it is YOU that is the oldest.

Thank you for your birthday wish too, you’re right, and I made it great.

Lord take the one from "the World" when is at closest point of being saved!
I wish you thank Him for what you enjoyed and remember that "Lord has given, Lord has taken... Lord be praised!"
You have a peaceful and joyful anniversary (celebrating the number of living years) ... on your birthday and make every year just before of the time/day of your father passing a offering day of meal and some things for the poorest people, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!
God, please forgive your father!
God, please help you to find your soul's peace and be strong in supporting your family!

Your father was also your son, daughter, mother, brother, sister, auntie, uncle, cousin..

I was gonna say sorry about your loss, but you lost nothing. There is no such things as birth and death for those with souls.

And duality does not exist in the spiritual void. There is no loss.
