Today and for some of this week my lovely Dad, 75 in May has been fixing my car. He always has done and he insists he will do it....

The car is quite old and today a bolt sheared off when he was trying to fix something, the garage said repairs would be £500, Dad said he could get parts for £80 and do it.

He struggled even with OHs help, but he knows we cant find money right now and need car for work.

Ive just walked back from the shop with tears streaming down my face because I love my Daddy so much and am scared when he wont be here. I feel so guilty that he was working on my car in the cold,


Sorry its got to me and just want to publically say,



' Dad I adore you and will love you forever'

Thanks all

Enjoy every day you have him and know that he loves you as much as you love him.

Thanks Kitty, your words mean a lot,

I dont know why but I just feel very emotional and grateful as Christmas is hard with the Dad of my eldest kids ignoring them,


I do adore and treasure him love. Cant bear the thought of not having him, how on earth do you cope? Hes my best mate,

Aw Caz.. You loving daughter.
As Kitty says, enjoy every day you have with him..My dad was killed when I was 17 ad my life was never the same. I lost my best friend that day, but look at his photo every day, and try to imagine him now, 36yrs later.

It was very touching reading that Carol,
as my daughter is also named Carol !
I will be 76 at Xmas and love her dearly,
Whenever she has needed jobs doing I have been there for her also, for to me she is still "my little girl " and I love her to bits. I hope your Dad manages to fix your car OK, just give him a big hug and tell him how much you love him !
but I am sure he knows already !

Vods my love,


I am so very sorry and am also sorry if I have stirred bad memories for you, Id never do that intentionally,

Its just when I saw my Dad today, in the cold and trying so hard, it really got to me,

Caz - as a self confessed Daddy's girl, I know what you mean!

I love my Daddy as much now as I did when he was alive..... MILIIONS and that will never go! I miss him just as much, but it does get easier, I can think of him now without howling with pain, and often smile at the old git's past antics!

Only advice I have is.........

Treasure every minute as if its your last, then you'll have no regrets!

Lots of love

Thanks Pink, love,


I always think of you when I think of my love for my Dad. Your posts touched me so very deeply as I could identify so well. Im so glad we are mates now and you have helped me so much, in ways I cant begin to describe but you know how,

Your Dad does it cos he loves you so much and needs to look after his little girl. Enjoy every moment you have with him and keep your memories locked up in your heart.

Thanks Caz...... but listen to me once again...... don't waste time thinking of what it will be like without him, and do waste time enjoying every minute you have him..... as trust me, you'll rely on those memories one day!!

And I hope that day is a long time from now!

funny things cars

I mended dads on the saturday which started us talking again.
When he went to bed on the Monday he said 'goodnight ma dook' which was unusual for him to speak to me like that.
An hour later I was giving him cpr with the doctor

He didnt make it.

Enjoy your dad while you still got him love
