Daddy, Where are You?

About this ebook
Last year at a conference in Orlando, Florida there was a speaker who spoke on those who felt alone, this thought rocked me to my knees almost. My heart was pounding, my head reeled, as I almost I caught myself looking around the audience and saw a young boy being comforted by a couple of ladies, at first, I thought it best to let them console him. I started to walk towards him and had no real “plan” of what to do next. As I looked at him and the ladies backed away, I found myself hugging him and saying “I love you!” We just seemed to connect at that moment, - though I could have been his grandfather -, he replied back, “I love you too!”, as he just stood there smiling and seemed very happy. His Mom said, “this is so new to him!”. He has never had this experience before! She had no idea how this has affected me to this very day! Maybe we all need to hear, “I LOVE YOU!”

I am a Christian father of four grown adults; I have seen God's grace and mercy in my life. I will be happily married for 45 years this year (2016), to my wife, Anne. She is a woman of great faith and love, whom I share this life with. We overcame the statistics for marriages of Vietnam veterans, as my wife has told me. We have done this all while loving and caring for our severely and profoundly disabled daughter, which the stress alone could have added so many complications to our lives if we allowed it. We have raised four children into four grown adults. Our first born, Rebecca, has her B.A. in education and is a teacher. Our second child, Robert, works as a Supervisor for a cleaning company and was a coach with special needs children, and has a girlfriend named Natalie. Our third child, Mariel, has received her B.S.R.N., in Nursing, and was married in 2007 to Ronell. They have a son, Nadir, who turned 17 this year (2013). They have another sibling named Levi born into this world in 2010 and then Micah, conceived in 2012 and are expecting their third boy by the first week of September, 2014. Ronell and Mariel have a church now in the south suburbs of Chicago, Chicago/Dallas - Jesus Center. Finally, our youngest, Gayle, who, as I often say, "I believe I would not be the person I am today without her." I have a ministry named: Veterans Outreach/Marksman Ministry that is a sole-propriety ministry that I started in 2012. I have received my Associate degree in August of 2006 and my license as a minister, September 16, 2012 from God Carriers International Ministries.

Dedication
I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my birth Father
was never present, so I thought why would God love me? This can be especially true if there were or are negative feelings, actions or thoughts that could prevent us from moving on towards wholeness.
It has been said, Best to forgive and move on
and that is what I believe we all need to strive for. That is because otherwise, the past can continue to control and hold us. This truly has become my progression, and my goal not to let what was given to me in Vietnam is forgotten nor wasted by my lack of effort or decisions. It was my new starting place, another opportunity I had to begin again to enjoy life, one I never want to waste away. I believe we are all looking for help or suggestions on how to be prepared for what we can do to feel loved and accepted, may this article be on that begins and continues the process.
