This conversation was so uplifting. I'm living in the Caribbean and axcept the fact that I am African. I love watching your video's. Listening to him and hearing him say how proud he is of Margaret, made me cry. I have one son who is now living in Kenya and he has made me so proud of all he has accomplished and knowing that he can go so much further. I'm proud of this dad for accepting Margaret and helping her achieve her dreams. I know she has further to go and sends my blessings. Many blessings to you as well Lynn, may you continue with these video's, to inspire others❤

This is a true gentleman! I love his calm demeanor and he takes responsibility of is daughter when he found out about her. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@boohookidscreations8003]

Margaret is a business owner, an employer. We often miss the problem solving and multiplier effect of owning business, from creating employment opportunities to paying taxes. Being a doctor or a lawyer is for the service of humanity and making money while at it. But we should never belittle those going about their business in less glorified courses. I love this father-daughter bond, there's nothing more fulfilling than having kids with this level of focus.

[@jeanekumbo2122]

What a beautiful story, Lynn. I admire the fact that this gentleman had no role models to teach him manhood, but he has been able to give his children what he never had. What a blessing. Well done, Lynn.

[@PleasantGreetings2u]

This is a very inspirational and loving story of Margaret and her Dad. Both Margaret and her father were abandoned by their mothers and raised by their maternal grandmothers on their mother side of the family after they were born. They both didn't know who their father was in their early years growing up. Eventually, relatives on their mother's side of the family took them to their paternal grandmothers on their father's side of the family. This led Margaret and her Dad connecting and bonding with each other! The Almighty God worked it all out for Margaret and her Dad to become a loving family along with Margaret's sister Christine and her younger brother Kenneth. It was very touching for Mr. Kennedy Small to take on the responsibility of a father to take care of Margaret and to move her to the UK to live with him and his family! He did what a father should do! All praises to The Most High God who reigns forevermore! HalleluYAH! 📖 Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

This episode is a classic example of when generational patterns & cycles are broken.

Kennedy broke generational curses - children raised by grandmothers because of absent mothers, father’s not knowing of child’s existence, teen parenting, poverty, and lack of biological father support by doing the right thing being the father God would have him be.
