Apparently, there’s a “Dead Dads Club” and I can’t believe that it’s taken me six years to find out about it.
While perusing the internet, I saw it lightly mentioned in an article and had to know more about this exclusive club. Quickly I realized it’s not an official club but more so one in which people are naturally inducted into after losing their dads. I also came across a Grey’s Anatomy clip from years ago when the character George lost his father and Cristina welcomed him into the club.
This scene is almost an exact reenactment of when my friend whose dad died first came to me after mine died, our meeting, of course, involving more tears and no talk of the actual club.
Considering our circumstances, I always felt like my friend and I had this unspoken bond which I suppose is what the club is all about.
We understood each other in ways others couldn’t. We dealt with the same feeling of absence on holidays, the same dreaded anniversaries and birthdays and the same fear of living in a world without our dads. We knew what it felt like to suddenly no longer have that father figure in our lives; to no longer be someone’s little girl. Even though I hate that someone I love so much experiences the same pain, I still feel so lucky that I have someone who is also part of the Dead Dads Club.
It’s not exactly a club people are begging to get into. But once you’re in, you’re in it for life and you feel blessed to know that others are members too.
I am also apart of the ddc my dad lost his fight to pancreatic cancer in 2013 i was only 17 and now i have to have the feelings of not having my dad around when important things happen to me like graduating high school , getting my licence,getting into college or getting married but those are the things you just have to deal with when your in the club
