I read some of the writings on father’s day on FW. I don’t know how it feels to wish your dad a Happy Father’s Day. I always wanted my dad to hold my finger and make me walk. I wanted him to listen to my talks. I always wanted to play with my dad like my neighbors. But though staying under one roof, he always was far away from me.

I remember myself putting my head in my tummy and weeping in my soul, when I was pushed out of the circle of love for my siblings. I longed for his attention but he didn’t care for I’m dark in complexion unlike my siblings. My mother loved me though, or may be she had to.

My Grampa loved me a lot and he fulfilled my desire to have a loving, kind Father. He used to speak to me for hours in his rest chair at the corridor. He used to teach me lessons of life and how to respect our Father Almighty. I just lost him last year, but I have a hope to meet him again in my Lord’s Kingdom.

I don’t know how it feels to hold on to your decisions until dad comes by. But I know how to trust the decisions of my Father in Heaven for my life. I don’t have any hatred for him, but at times my heart aches to know that he is still away from my Father in Heaven. I know my Father in Heaven loves me and cares for me. His hands have protected me thus far and I trust in Him for all. He holds my hand and teaches me to walk this journey of life till the time I return Home. And then I’ll see His glory. I know I’ll fall at His feet and cry a lot to empty the pain in my heart. I know He will hold me in His arms and give me peace.

I want to thank Him openly today for giving a loving Grampa to me. I also want to thank Him more and more for His unconditional love for me.

Happy Father’s Day Grampa!

Happy Father’s Day to the King who sits on the throne in Heaven!

Only,
Joy
