My father was out of my life when I was pretty young - when I was 7 years old, he was gone. I didn't see him for the rest of my childhood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My father was gone when I was three years old.
My childhood was defined by my father's absence. His presence looms so large. Up until the age of 18, he was a superstar for me.
My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn't see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I'd see him every couple years.
I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.
My father died when I was five, but I grew up in a strong family.
I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.
I lost my father was I 10 years old, and I always looked for a father. I missed my father very much.
My mother left my father in their late 60s.
My father died when I was 7. I was his favorite child, and he was my beloved father. I brought him along with me all through my life. Every elderly man has a bit of my father in him for me.
My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.
