Today is the day all over the Globe that is set aside to honour Fathers. For some, this is a day of happy memories, family visits and a day filled with love. If you fall into this category you may want to stop reading right now. What follows may dampen your spirits.
If Fathers Day is a day when unpleasant memories surface and you feel alone, alienated or angry... then keep reading. Your spirits may receive a slight lift.
To all of you who have been abused, neglected and treated as less than the Divine Soul that you are by the man who's duty it was to protect, guide and love you... I am sorry for what you experienced. If it was within my power all of your pain would be completely dissolved.
I can't magically take away your pain but I can offer you this. Please know that whatever happened... it wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could have done to circumvent how another chose to behave. And please let go of any shame you've been carrying around with you. That shame does not belong to you.
If your experiences, or lack thereof, regarding your Father have made you a survivor, then hold your head high. You made it through some of the toughest lessons available to mankind. You have learned about kindness through being treated unkindly. You have learned about compassion through experiencing your own pain. And you have learned about forgiveness by forgiving the unforgivable.
So, on this day, I honour you. The Child of the Father who couldn't be who you needed him to be.
