There is so much built into us in those early years based on the love we get from our parents and other nurturers. It gives me great hope when I see people like that who can become loving individuals despite not having been loved themselves.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-79994158011526693642012-12-03T13:48:02.295-06:002012-12-03T13:48:02.295-06:00Dear Shelly, your posting today brought tears to m...Dear Shelly, your posting today brought tears to my eyes. And I'm sure that when you spoke to the father, he, too, cried. <br /><br />This past weekend I read the book "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce. I highly recommend it to you. In this 2012 novel, you will meet a father who wasn't loved as a child and so doesn't know the way to show love and affection and cherishing to his own son. Harold goes on a trek of over 600 miles to show his gratitude to a friend from years past. The story is inspiring on many levels. Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-33062280927373292072012-12-03T11:49:01.382-06:002012-12-03T11:49:01.382-06:00izdiher: Always good to have you here, my friend~izdiher: Always good to have you here, my friend~Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-20798218749253005972012-12-03T11:44:33.357-06:002012-12-03T11:44:33.357-06:00Awe ..so so sweet .Awe ..so so sweet .♥●• İzdihër •●♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07824597580762719194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-23291269872880700552012-12-03T11:41:32.553-06:002012-12-03T11:41:32.553-06:00Lydia: Thank you- I love giving them a voice.Lydia: Thank you- I love giving them a voice.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-36194980443566016462012-12-03T10:55:16.148-06:002012-12-03T10:55:16.148-06:00So beautiful!

"Light one candle for hope" as we sung today on the first Sunday of Advent. Don't we grow weary of hearing the term "dead beat dads". This young man is so blessed to have a dad who is trying his best to raise him in the right way. Thank you for sharing this, Shelly. Hope you and your family are doing well. I/we are still trying to recover from our four day Thanksgiving celebration.

I actually have come back from my father's "care home" and cooking one of his favorite dinner now; thinking about him... He look getting weak and makes me worry recently. But he smiled at me today. I don't know if he really recognized me, though. Haha I'll stop writing about myself.<br /><br />Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan to my dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*orchid0324https://www.blogger.com/profile/01230850040531307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-34862749023841796482012-12-01T18:31:59.021-06:002012-12-01T18:31:59.021-06:00Jackie: It's wonderful to meet you, too, and t...Jackie: It's wonderful to meet you, too, and to know that this is such a small world.
