All fathers in my American family are gone
Including My Dad, Tony, Ton, Frans and John.

We all have missed so much,
Having been too long out of touch.

Every Year we are reminded
And blinded.

Eager to relive…
But only can reminisce

About the wonderful years
When we enjoyed Father’s Day cheers.

No more feast…
It is now a day to miss them, to say the least.

Not until you have experienced this…
Do you know what you miss.

So celebrate and be glad…
If you still have your husband and Dad.

My children’s Dad was a wonderful being…
That, from now on, only in our dreams will we be seeing.

I try not to feel blue…
But keep handy a box of tissue.
