The thought of the kids not growing up with their father has been on my mind a lot lately, probably due to the fact that Sydney graduates Pre-K the end of the month and we will be moving back to MA and he will be here in PA~yes, I have finally made that decision~we will be moving to MA. It hurts me so much to think that he is missing all these major milestones in their life even while we still reside in PA~Xavier being a survivor with his heart disease, Sydney graduating, Savannah learning to talk, etc. etc. I don't know why it effects me so much, when it should be effecting him. My heart breaks for all of my children: for Sydney to have that 4 1/2 year relationship/bond broken between her and her Daddy (she was a Daddy's little girl!), Savannah being confused about who that man was in the beginning of her life who is no longer around, and Xavier to know that he never had a Dad.
I am very thankful that they do have a Father~their Heavenly Father. As it states in the clip I posted which was taken from Matthew 7:11 and Matthew 5:48 that "I offer you more than your earthy father ever could, for I am the perfect Father." Sydney, Savannah, and Xavier will still know what a real father should be by knowing their Heavenly Father. I do pray that someday they will have another father figure in their life, but until then or if that isn't the plan for my life, that they will see God as their Father.
The video clip is long, but excellent~it's called "Father's Love Letter ~ God's Message"
