as a widow: a fatherless Father's Day

“Widowed parents are under a lot of pressure to be strong for the kids, take on all the household and parenting responsibilities that were once shared by two, and build as normal a life as possible for their children—all while grieving for their spouse. They’re forced to cope with the profound loss of a partner while also taking on a new set of challenges as a single parent. As a friend or family member of a widowed parent, you have an opportunity to help them through what could be a difficult Father’s Day for them and their children.” (optionB)


I was extremely blessed to have had Steve as my husband for 17 years . Aidan and Keiran were even more honored and blessed to have him as their dad.


Now, as a family of three, rather than a family of four, we are confronted by our loss every moment of every day. But today we choose not to cry but to smile. We choose to be and do the things you loved most.


Even though you left us too soon, your life touched all of ours so deeply. You were my rock and the foundation of our family. Heaven knows how much I miss you and watching you with your boys only made me love you more. I cherish your memory this Father's Day and feel comfort knowing you're watching over us from heaven to make this day especially meaningful.


The boys were robbed of having you watch them grow and learn even more from you these last three years but I know and tell them every day that you are their guiding light and will continue to be.


Your life has given us a wonderful family, a happy home, and love for each other. I will forever be thankful for you and loving these boys. You are one of the best dads. They are still surrounded by so many men that will continue to guide them here on earth and I know you are a proud dad watching over them.


Happy Father’s Day to you Steve You are in our hearts today and all the days
