Today, the father of my unborn son passed away. He would have been 20 in September. He wasn't wearing his seat belt and flipped his truck this afternoon. Now I'm sitting here crying, wearing his shirt and wrapped in one of his favorite blankets, wondering how in the world I will tell my son about the great man his daddy was. MMT

I miss my bubba:( It MMT

Great man - teenager who didn't wear a seatbelt.

I don't usually comment on these posts, in fact I don't think I ever have. But I thought that you might benefit from my story... About a year and a half ago, the love of my life, the man who had just asked me to marry him, and the father of my then unborn son, was run over by a car when his motorcycle was hit by a semi-truck. Valentines Day this year, it will be two years and I still think about him everyday. I love him everyday, and every time I look at our son I see his face. He would be so proud of me and how much I have grown. And your boyfriend will too. I can't promise that its ever going to be like it was, but I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, it will get better and I am so truly sorry for your loss.

My father died in a car wreck before I was born. Though I'm certain my parents would've divorced and I am blessed with an ex step father whom I still call my dad 35 years after they divorced, it has been something that has bothered me off and on my whole life. At 40yo I have the best dad in the world still, but I still cry and visit my real dad's gave often. At 35 I was crushed to read his obituary and see I was not in it. Did he know I even existed? (yes). Make sure your child knows this. Lie if you have to in order to make him/her feel loved. Make sure he gets to know as much of his/her dads family as possible. My dad had 5 siblings I have seen only a handful of times. Its been so odd. I love when my family tells me a story Bout my father. Save ever freakin picture. I have about 7. Save every piece of the father and his stuff you can. A shirt can mean sooo much. I'd straight up kill over my fathers pocket knife and the handful of items my brother and I have. If I can ever help someone in this situation, I will. Any time. My email address is my username at (yahoo.com). Email me and I will provide contact info and will always help.

@Cgibbey :/ Thank you for the help. @elizabethjeffers5683: Thank you
