My Daddy Is Gone: So help me, God

In so many different capacities, a Daddy can be gone. In our unswerving love and adoration for mothers, we sometimes forget about the contributions and commitments Daddys bring to the family dynamic. Unfortunately, we are often forced to look back in memory at all the significant exchanges that were once tangible. Throughout my lifetime, I’ve seen or heard of so many instances where the absence of someone’s Daddy cracked the foundation for development and overall wholeness. This book is a series of short stories intended to make the reader aware of the full view. Not just women and children telling their perspectives but also the Daddy. This book delves into the heart of matters, not just what was taken but also what was given. It doesn’t just point an accusatory finger and say what should have been. It opens up the gaping wounds that result from absence and fills them with God’s unfailing love. These stories are not excuses but varying perspectives that paint pictures of true intent. It’s not always what it appears. It calls to mind every imperfection, by exemplifying disease, addiction, sudden death, regret, desire, and everything in between. Each story welcomes God's grace. Each story includes the possibility of hope, no matter the outcome. Every reader knows of a similar situation. This book challenges every reader to think outside themselves and see imperfections for exactly what they are; human nature. The biggest take away continuously loops back to our rightful acceptance in and through God. No matter who you are, where you come from or what your story is; He covers you. Even when the protector of your safe haven is gone, He stands guard and never ever leaves.
