I have experienced this side of not having a father from seeing him deal with this. This has caused me to gain a small understanding for what it must be like........but it has also allowed me to see how much I took for granted. My husband has taught me that God really means it when He says HE is the Father to the fatherless and I have seen this over and over in his life. He is learning how to be a father to our children from the Perfect Heavenly Father---HE is a Father who will never leave or forsake us...HE is the perfect example.

I can not relate, on any level, to this post! I begrudgingly called my adoptive step-father and didn't actually wish him happy father's day. I talked for less than 2 minutes - just wanted to actually make the call. He'll never remember that I didn't say "Happy Father's Day". I think, next year, I'm going to forgo that call and just go outback and spend some quiet time with the only Father who's ever really loved me. :) That’s really great, Beth.
