Dad passed last August after 92 years of a good life and I spent 3 weeks with him right before he passed. He was ready with no regrets so Im not sad so much as feeling a bit lost since Ill never hear his reply when I call and say like I always did Hey Pop, its your favorite daughter and he would say Hey Janet (my sisters name!) how are you? with twinkle and a smile in his voice.

(50,934 posts)send each of us a xeroxed note saying, "Dear _______________, you are my favorite daughter. Don't tell the others. Love, Dad"
and he'd write in our names on the line.
Happy Fathers Day, Dear Old!

(219 posts)After being absent from my life for eight years, my idiot father spent the two hours he deigned to give me again calling me by a variation of my name, not my actual one. He wasn't doing it to tease me. He had forgotten my actual name.
Since I don't give out my name online, imagine having the name Mary and your father calling you Maria the entire time. That sort of screw up.
And he was the one who named me!
