Special days can be really hard for myriad reasons.
If you are one of the many people struggling today the link below has some really great tips for not just getting through Father's Day but making it meaningful.
In memory of my dad who I last saw alive on Father's Day 2005, he died unexpectedly the following Sunday, I will look at old photos, replay in my mind the last hug we shared, and will let all the great father figures in my life know how valued they are.
Please feel free to share a photo of your dad or father figure in your life on this post.
Love, Felicity and the Hall Team.
