I love Kelly and she did NOT deserve it... her father was crazy to leave a sweet girl like her. I’m only 9 but I know that a fathers or mothers love should last forever and ever. She’s a great woman and beautiful also. Her story in courages me to write songs ( I’ve written 3 to 4 ) and to become a singer. My dads band was Silver Travis a country and old style rock and was awesome! My dad is Rick Cash! I’m so thankful that Kelly had strength to write this song!

My father left my brother and my mom when I was seven years old and my brother was eight. My parents often fought at night and it was so hard to sleep and get up for school. He’d run after my Mom with a pillow and I didn’t know why, as my brother and I tried to hold him back. I went into my Mom’s room one morning and half of the closet was completely empty. I knew he was gone. We never saw him again. As I grew up, I had so many unsounded fears of my boyfriends cheating on me and leaving me. I drove so many of them away…but one stayed, we’ve been married for 23 years. One day a distant relative called me to say that my father was in the Veterans Hospital after a bad stroke. If I wanted to see him ever again, I had to go soon. My friends said he never cared, so why should I? So many thoughts in my head, but I went in anyway to see him. He could no longer speak, so I talked to him about my life, my career, my husband. I was 40 years old. I kept visiting him until he finally passed one night. In my heart, I felt that everyone should have forgiveness and atonement before they leave this world. God can forgive and I should too.

But Jesus Christ came for me when I was 19 years old and saved my soul...literally! I would not have survived this world without His intervention. "Piece by piece God's collecting me up off the ground where you abandoned me, and piece by piece HE fills the holes that you burned in me at six years old and you know piece by piece God restores my faith, not to look to man but my Fathers grace............ Psalm 27:10 "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."

I WILL BE WITH YOU Today's Scripture No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 NKJV Daily Truth For at least 40 years, Joshua looked to Moses as the great problem solver for the people of Israel. He had seen the miracles performed and heard God’s Word spoken through Moses. But Moses was dead, and now Joshua needed the same power to solve problems. Joshua’s time had come, and sooner or later, your time will come as well. God will direct you to lead something for His purpose. When that time comes, the only way you’ll succeed is if you engage with God and hear what He has to say to you. God will move you out of every comfort zone and into what I call “the God Zone” where you hear His voice. Joshua is in the God Zone, and the Lord opens the conversation with this promise: “As I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.” God was telling Joshua the same thing He told Moses from the burning bush: “I AM the source of your power. I AM the One who parts the waters. I AM the One who rained manna on you in the wilderness. And I AM the same yesterday, today and forever.” He had been with Moses. He was with Joshua. And the same God is with you now! Today's Blessing Father, bless them and keep them. Make Your face shine upon them and let the promise of Your Word come alive in their lives. Let them abandon fear and forsake worry and place their trust in the God who has never failed, that the enemies that stand before them are defeated before their very eyes. Therefore, we, the redeemed of the Lord, celebrate what Christ has done and declare victory on behalf of what He will do. In Jesus’ name, we receive this blessing.

I tear up to this. My parents got divorced when I was six and after over a decade at the age for a freshman, I opened my eyes how unloved I truly felt over my bio father. Now at the age of 24, my mom found a man who treats her beyond better than my own dad and gave me the love of what a father should give to their own child. Childish as it sounds for an adult crying over this but this song definitely describes how I feel to both my bio and future step dad.

I cry every time I hear this song. As far as i know Kelly Clarkson wrote this song referring to her step father when she says " and he restored the hole that you burned in me at six years old" and i can completely relate in a different way. My biological father left when i was six years old when my mama got a divorce because he became abusive. She got with my step dad shortly after, and he and i have a very poor relationship. There is a lot of verbal and mental abuse. It led me down a road of insecurity, depression, and lack of self worth. One night, while attempting suicide, God gave me an out of body experience and showed me heaven's gates,saying " no my daughter, i still have a plan for you". He is the one who put me back together, filled that empty whole in my heart, is the father ive always longed for to be in my life, and quit literally saved my life! He is so amazing and i could never ask for anything else!!💕❤️

I was never close to my dad, still resent him, i love him but not as much as my mom. She was so strong raising me and my brother. Then I got pregnant and did it all myself for 3 years, then I finally met my husband he was everything that I'd ever dreamed myself finding as my husband he loves me and my daughter more than anything. When we got married I sang this song, for him to know how much he had done picking up my pieces to put back together, hes raising izzy like his own.

This reminds me a bit of my father. While he never physically abused me or my mother, he was always emotionally absent from much of the family and has been this way for as long as I can recall. He seldom gave me compliments growing up, whether it was calling me “pretty” or validating a success I had done, and the only times he would acknowledge me after going days without speaking to me was if he had to reprimand me for something I did wrong. He has lived in the same household as me, yet we rarely interact and it almost feels as though he is never truly there. Throughout my adolescence, the time I needed him the most, he repeatedly took jobs out of state and left the family for many years when I was 14, despite still being technically married to my mother. When I fell into a deep depression in my early 20s and was overweight at the time, he wasn’t much help to me but merely made cold, offhand remarks about my appearance and the way I looked. I don’t have much of a support system from my relatives either, as his side of the family is also emotionally distant from me, never acknowledging anyone even during a special occasion such as a holiday. It’s strange how some fathers tend to be toward their own daughters, and the fact that some men just aren’t equipped to give or receive love and don’t understand the concept of what it means to have a family. I hope God manages to heal me with time however and that I can one day find forgiveness in my heart toward him for all the pain he has caused me. I do hope there are still good men out there in the world who do care for their women and seek what is best for them, but life has left me with many scars admittedly that will take time to heal. Only time will tell.

Saddest thing is I found this beautiful song one day and wanted to show it to my partner who had become a father figure to my special needs son and after five years of us being together, he left us a few days after that. I had no clue he was planning on leaving me because we had no problems ( he never told me how he felt). I just found a letter one day on my pillow. I now look back thinking how could he have listened to this song knowing he was going to abandon me and my son who he was so close to? Absolutely horrible, cowardly and so cold. I mainly feel bad for my son.

My 15 year old daughter sings this song often and has a beautiful voice. The first time she heard it, she told me it reminds her if her dad, he abandoned her when she was 4 1/2, in the meantime I married and her stepfather promised he would always be there for her, her dad decided to step back into her life when she was 10, we allowed him to come stay at our house when he was in town, so he could spend time with his daughter, it lasted less than a year and she really let him know how she felt, he went back home to Florida and passed away 2 years later, they never had closure, she never spoke to him after he broke her heart 2 years earlier. Her step father and I divorced earlier this year and he never spoke to her again. Once again she felt abandoned. Its just her and I and our dog. It makes me sad when I hear her singing this song, because it has so much true meaning to her. Life goes on and she is a wonderful young girl.. counseling has really helped her through her young life.

Totally cried with this song. My dad left me, my half brother and my mom when I was 12. I am in my 40s now and my mom and him got into some altercation and she didn't want anything to do with him. However, he never came back to see me or to be a part of my life ever. She raised us kids on her own and she was both parents for us and struggled. I love her so much and was a strong person to go through all that and still to this day gives all the love she can. I also have a husband who has taught me a lot as well and is the person in this song as well who has been my rock. I will never know my dad which I am sure he has a life with his kids somewhere but I have enough love in my own family to get me through.
