I miss my dad

I miss my Dad. 

I'm 17, and almost 18, almost a man. I lost my Dad at 12 to a brian tumour. There isnt a day that goes by where I dont think about him. I live with my mum and sister, and I miss him. I watch football by myself, my favourite team, our favourite team, man united, I turn around to the sofa, and hes not there, hes not there to share anything with me. I want him to share my life with, I've just met a girl I think I love and I wish he could meet her, I just want him to be alive, I want to make sure I've become the man he wanted me to be. I dont want to let him down. I dont understand how I feel or how to change it. All I know is, I miss my dad, and I dont know if I'm doing life right.

    Hi Aidan. I think the very fact you are wise and insightful enough to ask that question demonstrates that you are doing right. You say you watch football alone. I wonder if the loyalty and love you have for your dad is preventing you from developing frindships that may be supportive during this time. Something I'm sure of is that he would be immensely proud of the man you are becoming. Live your life to the best of your ability and don't deny yourself those important relationships for fear that you may suffer loss again. You're an extremely intelligent young man so trust your instincts in life, but don't be afraid to follow your heart. 
    I wish you all the best things that life has to offer as you deserve this in abundance. Take the best care of yourself.
