Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Final destination
Today, my dad's cremated remains came in the mail. This is the first time in my entire adult life that he has visited me at my home. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in ten years. He was stealing my car. FML
Don't shoot the messenger
Today, I took my best friend to see her dad in hospital. While they were talking in another room about his care, he took his last lucid words before his death. I was the only one there and I'd never even met him before. FML
Are you kidding me?
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML
Today, my dad came to visit me. By visit I mean he arrived, took a huge smelly dump and left. This is the first time I've seen my dad in months. FML
Classic
Today, I had a dream I saw my dad. I tried to talk to him, but then I woke up. He died last Monday. FML
Tight knit family
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Keeping it real
Today, I went to visit my dad for the first time in over a year, as I have been studying for my Master's degree in history halfway across the world. The first thing he said to me? "So, gotten a real job yet?" FML
Today, I got the guts to call my dad for the first time in nine years. He said he "almost didn't remember" he "had another daughter." Another? FML
Pleasant
Today, after spending five years regaining contact with my estranged father, I finally met him. I tearfully dropped my luggage and ran to hug him. He belched and told me to get in the car, because he had diarrhea. FML

Sorry for your loss, hopefully you got to speak at least or left things on good terms. Life gets busy and expensive. I haven't seen anyone in my family in about 5 years, but I speak to my mom every couple weeks and my sister every couple months. Hopefully things were better than me and my dad since I hope his funeral is the next time I want to see him. So try cheer up and remember the good times you did get.

Same damn thing happened to me. Never got to know my dad and then I'm informed that he's dead... Went to the funeral only to learn that I have half-siblings from his side.

Really sad! I hope you at least have SOME good memories of your father, even if not all of them were.

I believe some people are saying YDI because he didn't visit his father in 5 years but he surely didn't deserve his father dying
