Father's Day messages from those who've lost their Dads

Non-football, but I'm sure there are many in the same position.

Taken from us too early.

I'd give anything for my father to be able to see his grandchildren today and what fantastic young people they have grown into.

Any day it's amazing to have a hug off your kids, but heartbreaking not to be able to give your Father one - even at 43 years old.


Maybe you'd like to add your own messages to your fathers to this ?

Tim, thats a lovely thought.

I only wish my Father was alive to see his 3 Granddaughters, My Dad was strict, showed me the values of life,I worshipped him and I never let a day go by that I dont take to think about him.

I was so proud of him.

Miss you Dad so much.

True Bluebird my dad was through n through....love ya dad.

Died just over ten years ago, miss him loads still.

He would be so proud seeing city where they are now, he really would.....RIP Dad..

Fathers Day is always hard...

Lost my Dad 11 years ago..when I was just 19.. and him just 48. He was taken suddenly and way too soon.

I'm grateful for the memories we shared, who he made me but gutted he never saw who I became.

I still wish everyday that I could pick up the phone, give him a hug or go for a cheeky pint or 2.

But he's Always in my heart, Always a Bluebird, Always Proud. x

Similar to me Annis. Sounds very much like my father.

Ex-army, respected by everyone he met. Strong but totally fair.

Brought me up with discipline, family always first.

My dad never had time or money for football, just wanted to make a better life for his kids, taught us right from wrong, built his business form nothing after being on the scrapheap when Maggie and Mcgregor decimated the steel industry and gave myself and my brother the opportunity to take it on from there - and I hope he looks down and sees what we have done and is proud of us.

Happy Fathers Day Dad, I love you mate and think about you everyday.

Taken early from this world but am just grateful that I was blessed with a real Dad like you
who did everything for his children and showed us the way with Cardiff City.

Sorry for being a pain in the arse at times and thanks for standing by me when I strayed off the right path.

Never Forgotten, Always Loved and Respected.

Yes very very similar Tim in their ways. I really hope they are watching down on us.

My children will never see their grandparents.
All passed - all young.
Life is short.

My Dad has missed me changing my life around and my lovely kids
My Son worships Me and it makes me happy and sad as it brings out
stored memories and reminds me
Of what I was like as a kid to my Dad.

My thoughts are with you on Fathers Day
Never forgotten
Since being a Dad
I've realised how much of him is in me and glad for it

I lost my Dad Terry on the 27 May just gone. He was such a role model to me and my brother. Still raw at the moment but I get strength knowing that he is now with my mum. God bless you Mam and Dad and thank you.
Happy Father's Day Dad. We will continue to do you proud. xxx

I lost my both parents within 3 years of each other, (mam 2004 and dad 2007) my father was the reason that me and my older brother went down and fell in love with Cardiff City, he would take my brother down in the early 60's on the valley special trains followed by me in 1971, (thanks for that dad) there is not a day goes by in my life where i do not think about the two of them, thanks for everything you both gave me in life and the values you taught me, god bless you both.

Nice words Tim, i lost my Dad when i was 15, im 48 now but still miss him more than anything else in the world. The thing that hurts the most is he never saw any of his Grand Kids. Happy Fathers day to all Dad's past and present ..

I lost my dad griff john lewis in november 2008 age 49 to cancer. I was only 19 now 5 years on iv got a little girl of my own that he will never get to meet. But i no he would of loved her very much.

im sure he's watching down happy father day

I lost my Dad in 2002 and not a day goes by whithout him enetering my thoughts.

A quiet circumspect man who taught me the true values in life. It took me years before I could think about him without welling up. I live in the knowledge that he is with me in spirit.

He was never heavily into football, darts was his passion, but he always looked out for the Cardiff results after I and my Bro started to follow them.

A wonderful Father, fantastic Grandad and a lovely man.

Happy Father's Day Dad......until we meet again xxxx

I lost my father last year
I will never forget the first Cardiff match
He took me to 5th round FA cup City v Leeds
1972. God bless dad

My Dad passed away 25 years ago this coming December and although he lived to see his Grandson he died before my Daughter was born. He was taken suddenly at the age of 57 and i had no chance to say goodbye and at the time I wrote this verse to reflect how I felt and indeed still feel today.

Dad it's hard I often cry,
I had no chance to say goodbye,
I loved you more than words can say,
I miss you every single day,



Happy Fathers Day Dad

Every day I think of my Dad, he worked his socks of for his family, we were brought up strict but fair and tought the values of life. We had a great life as a family and given a choice I wouldn't swap it for the world.
My Dad was a Blooooobird through and through he would even take me to all the Welsh cup games in the eighties against the likes of Sully, Taffs Well, I guess for me that's why taking my 71 year old Mother to every game gives me a sense of my Dads dreams and the days we spent at the football live on.
I remember the QPR play off final my Dad was very ill and couldn't make the game but insisted that I went, I am so glad I stayed at home and we all watched it as a family at my sisters, we enjoyed a small glass of champagne together just to toast our victory/promotion together, boy how glad I am that I didn't go to the game and we shared that presious moment together.
Love and miss you loads Dad.

happy fathers day dad,i miss you so much and think about you everyday.You took me to watch city over 40 years ago and you supported them for well over 65 years-you were a true city legend.glad we got to Wembley a couple of times,but sad you couldn't see them in the prem."I LOVE YOU PAL"

I lost my father 3 years ago and he was 59. It still haunts be every single day of my life. He was not just the best father that i could have ever wished for but he was also my very best friend and since his death i just feel all alone. Dad, i am nothing without you, i miss you so much it isn't true. I owe you everything as you have helped make me the man i am today and i will always love you for that. I love you Dad, i miss you and i hope that you give as much happinness to heaven as you have done to this world. Take care Dad and i will meet you here again same place next year.

Lost my Dad nearly 16 years ago mow but still hurts , especially on days like today and on what would have been his birthday.Just got back from visiting a commemorative tree we had planted for him.

Dad first took me down to watch the City when I was 5 (hence the Since62 sign-in) and so it was he who got me hooked on the "drug" of being a supporter ever since. We always went together to home games , and many away ones as well.He had been a fan for many years before taking me , and had his ashes scattered at Ninian Park.
