When dad told me Mr Steptoe had passed away, I broke down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My father was gone when I was three years old.
I didn't realize I was still grieving for my father at 30-something.
My father left... but I tell my mom - and I told my mom this when I was a kid - I said, 'You know what, Mom? Good thing he left because you're a strong woman.'
It breaks my heart that my father never knew my children. He should have been around for another 25 years.
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.
I had a dad you know.
I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.
My mother left my father in their late 60s.
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.
My pops passed when I was little. I didn't have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn't have my biological mother.
