Growing up, I didn’t have a dad. My real dad left when my mom told him she was pregnant. According to her, he was “on the run from the law” for something, but she didn’t know what. He didn’t want to start a family, get tied down, etc. and he bolted.
For me, I always longed to know more about him. I never even saw a picture of him! So I literally have no clue except for his name, but it didn’t really help.
He was 20 years older than my mom and by time I was old enough to understand I could research him, I got permission from my mom, she said yes and we researched him together…he was already dead.
My mom died at a pretty young age too, so it wasn’t all that fun for me, not having parents.
Father’s Day is always one of those holidays for me that just stings. Never had a dad, never had a chance to really know what the whole experience is about, but I DO have a Heavenly Father and wow, He’s incredible. He’s kinda perfect, ya know. 😆
Father’s Day is about cherishing the father that you have, whether that’s God or you’re blessed enough to have an amazing human father.
And so, today I’m honoring my Father in Heaven and what a human father would be like with this fun Father’s Day A-Z words guide!
