I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.

I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.

I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.

My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.

I grew up not seeing my father, and it is a hole in my heart that will never heal.

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 father was never around, and my mother used to worry that the kids won't grow up to be connected to him.

I grew up in a broken home. My dad was out of the home when I was five years old. I never knew him very well.

My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love. He just, he had a rough life. You know, he grew up in a boys home in the Bronx. He didn't really know his own family. So I couldn't hold it against him that he didn't know how to parent. He didn't know how to be the perfect husband. But he loved as much as he could.

Even though my parents separated, my mother was in love with my father and never re-married.
