Hey everyone

I don't post on here very often but I'm on a lot and I could really do with some happy words and thoughts. I'm getting married next Friday (27th) and last Thursday my dad was rushed into hospital after suffering a major stroke - he's recovering slowly but obviously won't be well enough to attend the wedding - to be honest going with him in the car and walking down the aisle with him was something I was really really looking forward to. My brothers going to give me away now but I know its not going to be the same and I'm never going to get that opportunity again. Also, I'm an only daughter and I feel so terrible for my dad that he's going to miss it too.

I'm trying to think of the positives in all of this and thinking that in the long run, with all the hard work my dads gonna have to do to get better, one day (my wedding) really isn't important anymore - I've really lost all interest in all things weddingy now after 17 months of planning and kinda just want it to be over.

Feeling a bit better now after that but any happy thoughts would be appreciated.

Fiona

Ah bless you, I dont really know what to say but didn't want to read and run so thought I'd stop and give you a hug ?

I'm sure you will still have a lovely day and your dad will be just as proud of you x

Didn't want to read and run so just want to say good luck to you for your day, and I wish your Dad a speedy recovery. Maybe you could have a blessing at some point in the future so he gets to share in the day?

I sort of know how you feel. My dad was diagnosed with cancer just under 3 weeks ago and it put everything into perspective for me. Luckily my dad is well enough to attend my wedding and I feel so lucky for that to be possible. But when the future is so uncertain for him I find it hard to be able to get excited about my wedding.

If you need to chat, send me an email. I know its hard talking with family as you dont want to show your true feelings and stay strong for everyone.

Ah big hugs to both you and MrsB_2B, must be a really difficult time.

You have to focus on that the wedding is the start of a marriage and that knowing that his daughter is happily married and safe with her new husband will be a comfort to your dad on his road to recovery.

Maybe you could speak to your photographer to see if they could do a rush job on a special picture for him to cheer him up when he is having a rough moment.

? Wishing your dad as speedy recovery.

As NB2B said, i know it wont be anything near the same but maybe you could have a blessing when he is better and have him walk you down the aisle then? And/or film the day for him or some of the day talking to him so that he can still be involved in some way.

my thoughts are with you and your family.
