School forms...

[SoVerySad]

It is that time of year again. Time to fill out school forms. This is my 4th year filling them out since my husband died. I decided this year to just leave the father's information section blank. Seemed to make sense after this much time. Right before I gave the forms to my daughter to take in, I added his name and (deceased). I know it shouldn't matter to me what others think, but I can't bear the thought of someone thinking her father isn't involved in her life by his choice. He loved being a dad so much. I can't believe those forms still have the ability to make my heart hurt so deeply.

At almost 9 years...I always put their Dads name with deceased beside it. If I was remarried...I would still do it then list StepDada name and info.

 

I will do it till they graduate. Do whatever is comfortable to you. I just never wanted any preconceived notions about my kids.

I don't write his name, just Deceased. Year 2 on one firm I left it blank and they sent it back to me to be filled in. I filled deceased on an activity firm once and it was sent back for lack of parent two phone number?? I am really hoping that person just didn't read the form.....

All of my daughters forms already have me listed as the sole parent and my husband deceased. Still stings seeing it in print every year.

I removed my husband and all of his information off all of the forms for the current school year. I didn't want any new teachers who didn't know us trying to email or call his cell phone. We do online registration so I had to highlight and delete the information. I hated it. It's like erasing the fact that he existed, you know?
