Father's Day is just another Sunday for me.
I didn't meet my dad until I was in middle school. I had the opportunity to try and form a relationship with him shortly after I graduated college.
He said he wanted to get to know me but his actions said otherwise.
So I gave up. Why bother forcing something you've never even had?
It does make me sad sometimes. I wish I knew what it was like to have a father that loves you.
I know I missed out on a lot of things.
I've even thought about how when (if) I get married I won't have anyone to walk me down the aisle. (I'm a little bit of an over thinker... haha)
You don't have to feel sorry for me though. I have plenty of people that love me. I have a mom that loves me deeply. I have a heavenly Father that loves me unconditionally.
I know God has a reason for me growing up fatherless. It's not because He wanted me to feel hurt, pain, and brokenness.
I think that's why I love so deeply. I know what it feels like to have a half full heart. When I love I give it abundantly. You never know when someone needs a little extra.
I pray I am fortunate enough to have children one day and watch their father love them.
Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there!
