WHEN you’ve lost a loved one, birthdays, Christmas and other special events can be a difficult time.

Next Sunday, June 19 is Fathers’ Day – the day we thank all the important male figures in our lives, whether it’s dads, granddads, uncles or family friends.

But we know there are many of our readers whose dads have sadly passed away, so we are giving you the chance to remember them by sharing your own special messages.

If your dad is no longer with us, we’d like you to share a photo and a few words telling us why he was so important to you and we’ll include them in a special feature this Fathers’ Day.
