One of the Ten Commandments, as written in Exodus 20:12, tells us to "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." This is the 1st Commandment with promise! "Dear Daddy" is a tribute to fathers and documents what in fact is far from uncommon in today's society. You see, mama and daddy separated and divorced when their three children were very young. This resulted in mama being forced to take on two roles to not only be mama, but also try to fill the role of daddy, which is one I am certain God never intended, nor one which she desired. Although we experienced a lot of difficulties while growing up, we still somehow managed to develop a bond with daddy, in spite of the adverse circumstances; one that could not be broken or destroyed, even when faced with one of the most difficult challenges of our lives - the loss of daddy. "Dear Daddy" is a story of love, pain, joy, sorrow, forgiveness, and ultimate healing that would result in the dawning of a new day. You are invited to share the trials and triumphs of not only this family, but also be inspired by an anthology of tributes, notes, and memorable moments from several others. For some reading this book, perhaps daddy is gone, and what remains are the memories of words spoken and special moments while he was here on Earth. For others, daddy is still here and he may or may not have been in the home. Whatever the case may have been for you as a child and even stemming forward into adulthood, "Dear Daddy" is designed to prompt and stimulate healthy relationships and memorable moments which will allow you to develop a greater love for self, those you are connected to, including fathers if at all possible, but most importantly with your Heavenly Father. Some of the notes, tributes and memorable moments shared in "Dear Daddy" have been previously communicated; however others are being made available for the very first time ever.
