Father's Day Is Hard

I'm a widow with 5 kids. I hate that my kids see everyone celebrating their Dad and theirs isn't here. They don't talk to me alot bc they talked to him. They don't seem so interested in talking about him. I am left trying to keep his legacy alive for him. Bc one day some or one or a couple of them will want the memories. Now I am afraid that I will forget something that could be important for them. I try not to think so much about him bc it's hard. My other problem is I am a bad story teller. How do I tell them great memories and things when it all gets lost in translation? He was so special and no one saw that part of him but me and his kids. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Hi Sapphire, I can understand these thoughts and feelings. I think that the photos can tell the story for you. I wouldn't worry about having any profound words the right thing will come from your heart. God is really good at putting these things together for you at just the right time when you all will need the healing. xoxo ~Heather

 

Thanks for the kind words. As for pictures there are not many. He didn't like pics.
