We live in a society where fathers are clearly absent in the lives of their children. Mother's have to raise children without the direct influence of a father. Children may never understand the true value of a father and many adults may have grown up never knowing a father. I offer my personal experiences, challenges and love to those raising children, to those who never had a father, to those who have no known father and those who would like to know a father. I offer my own experiences in an effort to heal and mend hearts all over the world. A father offers so much to his children. He brings identity, strength and protection to every child. A true father desires that his children go further than he ever could. I put this into every word. A child is a gift. A mother is affectionate and affirming. A father provides foundation and direction. Children need to know that they are loved.
