My Pastor moved me to tears today. He spoke of fathers who are never there when they are most sought for and seem to be most unable and/ or unwilling to affirm their sons and daughters! The kind of men who will tell a child who unworthy they are to be their child. This , sadly is a sharp description of how my dad was on a reliable basis!
He also said that there were people in all parts and times of our lives who we are certain will be allies, supportive of our intentions, plans and dreams who simply will disappoint us. He said, conversely, that there will be people who will surprise us by how supportive of us they are when we have no reason to believe that they will be.
I feel a bit overwhelmed by being haunted by the past and uncertain of where to tread next on this late Sunday afternoon!
