I didn't want to like your comment as it seemed heartless to do so. But as someone in the same position I sympathise. Having no children meant that Father's day was always about showing my appreciation for my dad, as he died 3 years ago it's left me bereft.No kids and a father who passed away two years ago, so not exactly a special day in the Seeker household.
Yes, it is difficult for some. My dad died in 1993, and my lad did not come along until 2008, so I had a long gap...
Dad would have been 100 this Wednesday, so we (myself, wife & son & my 2 sisters & spouses) will visit his grave, raise a glass and eat some pork pie* to celebrate him!
* his favourite 'delicacy', after tripe, pigs trotter and cow heel, but they are not everyone favourite. He came from the time when you could not be too choosy.

Same here but 2 step kids who never bother....however....my cat sent me a nice text
Similar here. My first wife and I are still great friends and she re married someone who used to work for me which I am chuffed about.Must quickly ad, I mention my ex as we are still good friends. She didn't leave my dad's side when we lost him, she spent 3 days rubbing his arm so he knew he wasn't alone. She is still a part of my family. What she did for dad was so selfless that I can't think of it without tears filling my eyes.
