No disrespect but we feel it because somewhere in us, IN OUR LIVES, WE DO RELATE. Freedom comes when we find out where.

I understood every feeling. 😢 My father went thru the same and I spent more years being there for him than he was there for me. Now he's on medication and better and he thanked ME on this Father's Day for never leaving HIM and always being there. My prayers were answered and it didn't happen the way I ever imagined it would, but it did. And I thank God. ❤

A friend of mine sent me this video after I posted this on Twitter... Playing hide and seek with my daughter is confusing. Definitely a new version. Firstly, she hides in very obvious places and I have to pretend that I can't see her. Then when I go on for a while pretending I can't see her, she gets angry at me and tells me where she is. Having grown up without a dad too and being a dad to a beautiful princess, Rudy Francisco's poem deeply resonates with me.

I just wanna let y'all know that GOD sent HIS Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. He died and rose on the third day. He loves you. To be saved, confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead.❤

STRONGER ------------- When things feel unsure, and doubts creep in, You stand tall, refusing to let them win. Your past might try to hold you tight, But you're strong, knowing what's right. Through tough times, when tears start to fall, You show courage, going after your call. Each step you take, a light so bright, Guiding you through both day and night. In mirrors true, your reflection shines, Showing bravery, dreams, and your signs. Though storms may come, and winds may blow, Deep in your heart, a steady glow. In chaos, your voice finds its way, Making bold choices, come what may. No fall or stumble can dim your light, With each try, you rise to flight. So keep your head high, face what's new, With each challenge, you'll know what to do. In life's big story, where you belong, Your journey unfolds, brave and strong. Writer Ryan K Pendley
