This lil one reminds me of myself. My father passed away when I was 4 years old. He went to work as usual, then came home in a coffin. Even though I saw him there, I remember waiting for him everyday thinking he d be back after work. Even after I became a teen, I still thought his passing was not real, and he d come back to suprice us. Feel as if I m still waiting as a 34 years old adult. 😭

[@bonniebrown6960]

Ninu Sur, I know how you feel. My dad passed away when I was only 10 years old. Even at 50+ years old I still miss him so much. That heartache is something that doesn't ever really goes away, but I believe we will see ours dad's again in Heaven one day. I remember repenting of my sins and asking Jesus Christ into my heart heart. I accepted him as my Lord and savior when I was 11. One... I want to go back home to be with Jesus in heaven when I leave this earth. Two... I wanted to make sure I see my dad again. I loved this movie. It made me cry. Losing a parent is hard enough, but if you never had to lose a parent as a child you can't really understand. You move on with your life, but you never forget them. You're world is turned upside down. I might as well say I lost my dad and my mom. She never felt like my mom ever again after that. She moved on with her life by getting remarried. I felt like I was jerked up by the hair of the head and told...your gonna do what I tell you to do. It wasn't right.🥺 I needed her to be there for me. Instead all she cared about was herself. Thank God I had some decent grandparent's who were good to me. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for them and my dad's family as well. Anyway, God bless you. I pray God will heal our broken hearts and we'll see our daddy's again someday. 🙏🙏🙏❤✝️

This story touched my heart, when at the end, I found out it was based on a true story, I cried not only for this little girl but for another little girl that was asking Santa (my husband as Santa) to bring back her Daddy, she believed if anyone could, it would be Santa. My husband (Santa) thought about divorce, deployment, etc. when he asked her "where's your Daddy?" she said, "Heaven". I'm just so proud of how he handled the request, and am sure he made a difference in this little girl's life. I can't imagine just how many little ones have lost their fathers/mothers out there that are struggling with the loss. Thank you for this movie, even though it made me cry.

What a beautiful touching film.. Miracles do happen and if our eyes are open to receive,then blessings are always around us near or far .. 13 years ago i Iost my dad.. my 2 year old daughter released a heart shape balloon with a note at her grandad's funeral, it was a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and random fluffy white clouds,we all stood in silence to watch the balloon travell up into the sky,every now and then it twinkled and shined with the sunlight reflecting on it as the distance between us got further, then to our surprise the big fluffy white cloud parted in the centre and allowed my daughter's balloon to travel through the gap before the cloud reunited and became whole again...we never saw the balloon after that. That was our Miracle ,that left us all overwhelmed yet comforted by the grace of God and the gift of love xxx

Not all children are as fortunate as this little girl. My daddy left us many times without saying goodbye and I grew up without the love of a responsible and good father. I still carry the emotional scars of being abandoned. Perhaps if I was pampered like this little girl my life would have been different. I just had to grow up fast and accept what life dealt to me.

I feel you. And you're right. It is an amazing thing to actually have parents love you like that. But though we envy their luck, that doesn't mean they are pampered. And with loving much, there's also losing much, with an intense pain, that you and I don't get to have either. Ours is more of a lifelong dreary pain, that tends to cast a shadow over our lives. They mourn for what they lost. We mourn for what we could never have. To each their own pain. I for one am looking forward to that wonderful day, when God is wiping every tear from my eyes and every hurt memory from my soul and welcomes me into His Kingdom of utter love and deep peace forever more.

Years ago, I was at the park with a bunch of kids from a bbq once and i was pushing this 8 year old girl on the swings when she said, "my daddy is watching us". I looked around, no adults near, and asked, "oh, where is he?". She said very matter of factly, "he's in heaven." Then I realised who she was. Her father had killed himself only months earlier. Hired a motel room and hung himself. Yet another casualty of the deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't remember what I said, but I do remember being so surprised and impressed with how she was handling such a tragedy. Obviously, she was missing him, but clearly someone had said all the right things for her to be so brave.
