Ive posted here before about my family and how alone and orphaned i feel. Today is my dads birthday, he passed more than 30 years ago, was a hard working blue collar steel machinist. I remember his working second shift, so when i came home from school he was gone, and when he came home from work, i was asleep. The weekends were our times...driving to the ocean....driving to the stables ( he loved horses), him sneaking me in to the race tracks, when i was too young to legally be there, him flooding a spot in the back yard for ice skating, going to the drive in and always wondering how i wound up in my bed the next morning. Of course there are some not so wonderful memories too, but therein lies my funk...there is noone left to say, " remember when ? " We were a family of four....and he, mom and brother have all passed on. A close knit, ride or die family of four. They were all Virgos, all born within a week of each other in September. And they all died in the month of March ( my March Madness blog ), they are together....celebrating their days of birth. I miss them immensely. Hence my funk ..... Happy Heavenly Day of Birth Dad. Thank you for life...love ....and the memories! I Love You ~~

Wow. That's rather sad. 😔 It's to be expected when a family is so small. Mine isn't much larger and I imagine at some point, my heirs will have a similar funk. Yep... sad.

I empathise with how you feel being in a similar position with none of your family around and the lock down it has added a new meaning to it for me.

My best to your dad's birthday. Remember the god times and know that your family is always watching down at you

((hugs)) sometimes a funk just has to run out of steam, there's no "getting better" from the loss of family.

I lost my younger sister 6 yrs ago and I just lost my Dad, I don't think it has really hit me yet, maybe it will when we don't have our Sunday phone call. I can feel my family shrinking now and it's a bad feeling.

...family can be so important in many mysterious ways.... and even though gone, they are still with you for all your days...... and apparently, sometimes they come back to visit you for a moment as a dragonfly ..... that's the story in my family....... be safe.... be strong.....

While I lost my husband and both parents within a 2 year span, I still have all my siblings. Still, it's a little scary at the top of the family tree, wondering when the next branch will fall. You have my deepest sympathy for your losses. You're entitled to wallow a while. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Thanks Joy....i remember reading your post about your dad and the memories. It resonated within. Its interesting how our words are far reaching and touch others. Most times we arent even aware... Thanks for these thoughts ~~

I'm lately finding out lately sharing the memories make them more sweet, rather than bittersweet. With my child, it's about the most important thing I can pass on to her. hugs

I'm so sorry to hear of your loneliness. My parents are long gone too but I still have my older brothers...they don't live in Ireland but we talk on the phone a lot. I shall miss them if they go first. Huge hugs. ~~Anais Nin~~
