It is a black and white photograph…

In her book Longing for Daddy: Healing from the Pain of an Absent or Emotionally Distant Father, Monique Robinson, pastor of women’s discipleship and a pastoral counselor at Faithful Central Bible Church, explains that daughters long for something they cannot articulate— the need for a father, for his love “defines [her] femininity, shapes her character, affirms her identity, and validates her womanhood” (Robinson 120). A father’s paternal obligation is to nurture and care for his daughter’s…

The man I once called Daddy Most of my life I grew up in the heat of Mesa, Arizona. I lived with my mother, father and three sisters. We never had the nicest or newest things, my mother a beautiful, brown eyed woman with a pearly white smile, stayed home to look after us every day while my father went to work. Each day I would walk to school or ride the bus because my mother worked at an at home day care and my father was always absent. My dad always made me laugh as a little child, he was fun…
