Father; verb:
- be the father of. “he fathered three children.”
“You were supposed to be the first male love of her yet she still searches for you everywhere” – Rupi Kaur (Milk & Honey).
This is a touchy subject for most people, fathers. Any man can make a child, its raising one that makes you a father. I never grew up with my father, neither did his 5 other children. All my life I’ve wanted to be a daddy’s girl so like many fatherless girls I always made excuses for my father not being part of my life. Him not being there for me has broken me more than anything else in this world and if it wasn’t for my super hero mom I would be a lost case. When my mom and step dad got married (and for a few years after they were married) I thought she’d made the biggest mistake of both our lives because from then on it wouldn’t be just the two of us. Now that I’m older I can see that it was God answering my prayers. God blessed me with my dad, he is the most patient man and he always goes out of his way to keep us all happy and keep the peace in the house. He takes my side over everyone else’s and I know I can count on him for anything.
So to my father, I forgive you. To my mother, thank you for your strength. To my step dad, thank you for accepting me. And most importantly to God, thank you for this answered prayer.
Finally a daddy’s girl.<3
Knowledge is power 
Being a fatherless “daddy’s girl” myself. I know I never wanted this for you, but to see how its turned you into the brave, wise young lady you’ve become I can only thank God it’s His Plan. It could’ve been the opposite like many girls seeking love from a man they should have gotten from a dad. The stats are terrifying , I was a stat. Rejection esp from a parent is the root cause of most of our social issues in this country and the world. Forgiveness is the 1st step in recovering and healing. aunty Nikki called you an old soul when you were little… she was right… You are wise beyond your years…
