I understand missing your Dad. It helps me to do something for somebody else that I did or want to do for my Dad. It's not the same, of course, but it comforts me.
I lost my dad in 2008. His birthday is this month. I know what you are feeling. Sometimes I think I hear him calling me. When I feel that void left my dad's passing, I began thinking of the good times we had. I even find myself sometimes talking to him aloud. Somehow it just makes me feel better.

I have an idea, Kathleen. Maybe you could share a story about you and your Dad in a pm to one of us or on this board that might be a comfort to you? Just a suggestion.
I had a good session of role play & it made me realize how much grief & guilt I still feel. It was different being my dad & her being me. One interesting part was that I told her that my dad never called me Kathleen. Just Kathy. Afterwards I went to an al anon meeting & got support & a group hug. Isn't that what we're here for?
I miss my father all the time. He died in 1977, so very long ago. I didn't have the chance to relate to him as a mature adult. He hasn't watched my son grow up and now he is missing out on my beautiful granddaughter. I think I miss him more these last 10 years than the previous 20. I still recall seeing the movie The Lion King. I was in a theatre with lots of children, who were all singing and swaying to the songs. I started crying when the father lion was killed and I didn't stop for the rest of the movie. Yes I miss my dad, Lyne
