How do I Explain to my soon to be 3 year old, why he cant hug his Dad?
When my husband was murdered my son was just a baby, he was 19 months old. All that he spoke was a few mom and dad here and there. But now, he is a toddler! and says too much and also asks too much too. Everynight he kisses his dad's picture goodnight, but also looks at me and says "hug to Dad mommy?"
I get this huge knob in my throat and contain my tears!. It breaks my heart that my son does not have his Dad here with him. To enjoy his sillyiness, his new words, his playtime, all of it. I deeply miss Danny as a husband to me, my lover, my soulmate, my best friend! But it just also or even hurts a lot more, missing Danny as a Dad! to my Son.
What do I say or explain to my son?

Hi Michael.
being a one and only parent not by choice, its been by far the most difficult thing I have been through. See I can be a heck of a strong mom for my son, and wipe off my tears when I am down and put a smile for him but when it comes to him asking me, I just feel helpless. I dont want my son to suffer for our loss.
Thanks for your reply.
Amanda,
I feel the same way... My daughter is only 7 months old but I dread the day she asks me why she doesn't have a daddy... or why she can't hug/kiss her daddy. She will never remember the 4 months she had with him...
