The Mother of my 2 children and I have separated and lead separate lives to each other now so I have left a myfarewellnote to both of them which will be sent to my Brother who is Godfather to them both and he can make sure they receive the messages should anything happen to me. They live with their Mother so I do not get to spend as much time with them but I want them to know my side of the story and the truth about how much I really love them and would have wanted them to live with me. This is perfect for Dads out there who are in a similar situation to me
The perfect way to use this service. I'm sure they know you love and miss them, and not everything is as clear cut when it comes to break ups.
We also suffered with the behaviour of my partners ex. Childish way to carry on, couldn't stop making things worse, went right out the way to cause a problem, then blamed him? He has wrote notes for his kids, and one day the will hear the real story.
As a Father myself, I totally agree with the message that Nick Mason has posted on here and I really can see how it will benefit so many Fathers out there who do not get as much access to their children as they would like. Great post Nick!
I cannot believe how similar my situation is to this story. Without wanting to get into a right rant about the injustice of my situation, the law in this country is a joke to fathers. I know that the messages I've left my children through your app, doesn't solve all the problems I have in not being able to see my children but it has given me some peace of mind that one day they will get to read the full truth. Can't believe this was a free service as well! Thank you so much - i'll definitely be recommending it to friends - especially those in a similar boat
A friend f mine told me to take a look at this app. Must admit I quite like the look of it. You should share this with Fathers for Justice. It's a great idea
This topic seems to have appealed to lots of Dads out there but it can also be the same for Mums who find themselves in a similar situation(which does happen believe it or not). The point is that this is a great way for anyone to get their true feelings recorded and told rather then being taken to the grave and never being said which every son or daughter has a right to know despite the actions of their parents
This story was posted in the 'My Stories' topic and seems appropriate for this topic too -
Hi everyone. I have my own story which some may find hard to understand and accept but I am sharing it with you anyway. I was an only child and was brought up by my Dad after my Mum died when I was only 4 years old. I had a wonderful relationship with my Dad who was simply amazing,he always put me first and I was extremely spoilt by him and couldn't have wished for a better Dad. When I was 14, he got married to a lovely lady and life continued to be good for us all. When I was 27, my Dad died suddenly of a heart attack which came as a huge shock and was very hard to take. I was actually on holiday at the time so never got to say goodbye to my Dad which is something I still to this day find hard to accept.
1 day after his funeral, his Wife gave me a sealed envelope which she went on to explain was from my Dad and he had told her to give it to me in the event of him passing away.
Inside was a letter that he had written which was dated 2 years before my Mum had died and was signed at the bottom with both his and my Mum's signature.
In this letter, it explained how in fact he was not my biological Dad and went on to explain what had exactly happened with my Mum getting pregnant and how my so called real Dad had dumped her,disappeared out of her life and was never seen again. It also stated the reasons why they had chosen not to tell me the truth and how they had both agreed to write this letter together because they wanted me to know the truth in the end.
To me I understand clearly why they never wanted me to know, because my Dad was worried that it may have changed our relationship but to me he was my Dad no matter what I know even now.
I have told some of my friends the real truth and I have received mixed reactions from them, with some calling my parents selfish and wrong to have hidden the truth from me.
Just thought my story was relevant to what you are trying to achieve and I am happy to receive responses to it. Best of luck with Myfarewellnote which I think is a fabulous idea and will be telling my friends about it. KM55
Very interesting topic and something that has definitely hit a nerve with me. Without going into too much detail, I had a huge falling out with my son 'M' who is now aged 39 after he blamed me for my ex Wife and I breaking up. He said he would never forgive me and we have not spoken to each other since despite my attempts to reconcile with him. I thought after my ex Wife had passed away that he would consider to talking again, but 4 years have passed since her death and he still has no interest in hearing my side of the story. I still have contact with my other Son 'D', who has also tried to get through to his Brother, but even he cannot convince him to speak with me. This topic has really made me think and I have since signed up to 'myfarewellnote' and recorded a video message for my Son 'M' to tell him my side of the story. I have arranged for it to be sent to my younger Son 'D' to receive once I have passed away and he will pass it onto 'M' for me, Its not the perfect solution but it certainly felt good to record my true feelings and knowing that one day 'M' will view this and hopefully see things differently, even though I will no longer be around.
