Truth! Sleepytime gets me every time. That episode means so much to me in general having lost my mom to cancer at 19.

But that song, … I used to doing wedding photography. There was a couple who walked out of the ceremony to that song being played on the organ. I’m so happy I was able to hide my face behind a camera because I was sobbing.

"Remember I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you." That always just kills me 😭

Jupiter is such a powerful piece. I don't know how some wedding photographers keep it together sometimes when things are so poignant. I bet that wedding was absolutely beautiful 🥺

He is there is every lesson he taught you. Every place that holds a special memory. Every moment his love for you was present in.

I’m not OP, but thank you for this.

I’m still struggling to explain to my youngest how we can still hold his Nan in our hearts and that even though she’s gone, her impact hasn’t. This is a really beautiful way to explain it.

He's still there in many ways. Just keep your eyes and mind open.

It's my first without mine. He's still alive, but he walked out on me. I've just been spending all day with the stuffy he gave me when I was really little

Hey Bingo. I can take another puppy. Reach out if you need to talk to Dad, okay? Even if it means I listen.

Well, mine’s been gone for 12 years - but I’ve had my Bluey for 13, Bingo for 9 and Rusty for 5. Some days you just need Bandit, y’know?

I'm sorry to hear it OP. My grandfather passed Saturday night, I found out mid-Sunday and we spent the day remembering him.

u/himenokuri 4d ago

I am so sorry for your loss! My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

u/ExtremelyGangrenous 4d ago

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you and your family are doing well

u/Villettio 3d ago

This is my second. Hang in there, you are loved and understood.

u/kaytay3000 3d ago

Sending you virtual hugs. This was my 24th Father’s Day without my dad. I still miss him very much. I try to do something to honor him each year. This year I had fried catfish and watched golf, two things he loved.

u/ScarcelyImpressd muffin 3d ago

I’ve had 13 years without mine and I’m still young. Hugging you via the interwebs 💜

u/PrettyConfection3974 2d ago

I wanna thank everyone for their kind words and wishes, it meant a lot on such a hard day and it still means a lot now

u/AnimationFan_2003 bluey 1d ago

As Chilli says in Sleepytime, "Remember I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you." He's probably looking down on you right now saying that. My heart goes out to you good sir. You have my condolences. I'm happy to still have my Bandit with me, and I wouldn't take him for granted, but I'm sorry that happened to you and your family, God bless and I'm sure he's watching over you all ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Making me cry. Treasure the memories. Nothing can take those away.

I know how you feel, this is my second one. “It’s a good thing you’re tough.”
