Good dad
Challenged by a situation that I would describe as a nonsingular case.
A friend who wants to help a colleague who lost his septuagenarian father of natural causes two months ago, but up to now, he cannot seems to overcome his sorrow, and what is worse, according to my friend, this colleague is at the edge of the depression, yet so sorry about the loss of his father. While his mother, for whom he should be concerned in order to help her overcome the loss of her companion, is the one that ensures that her son is fine, mother’s instinct.
She suspected from the State of desolation displayed by this son during that period, that all could not be well, even when he makes believe otherwise.
Without wishing to defend incompetent and irresponsible fathers who threw strikers on the men by their recklessness to their offspring, which caused feminist movements, even encouraged by other men, accompanied by forces of law, to sentence all men to all sorts of damages. See the text: frantzrimpel.com/man-woman-love and wisdom.
Why am I so interested in this topic?
What I will deliver here would be a chapter of my life that will be part of my book, if I can make this dream a reality.
I was already an adult, married and having children, when one day, I was approached by two young ladies who told me they were my sisters on the paternal side.
Amused by this statement that I had regarded as impromptu, since they seemed to be on a commanded mission, I was a little intrigued and surprised, because I never asked my mother to tell me about a father, a word that also was not part of our vocabulary at home.
We were 5 (five) children of the same mother, different spawning I would say; a bad circumstances of life . Because the first child being born of an adult, single of well-off parents, who took advantage of my mother, then, a teenager.
Three of us, lived under the same roof of my mother, the first was recuperated by the father’s parents from his early childhood, not to say while still a baby , but, a little late, because my mother’s parents abandoned her to her fate, disgruntled by what they considered shameful, that my mother got pregnant so early, and under conditions deemed inappropriate. Parents, offered no quarter then.
So, to meet the needs of this child, the round of irresponsible fathers, married men, profiteers as predators, came supposedly to the rescue but, they all took to their heels as soon as a pregnancy fell, which resulted to this painful saga in the life of my mother that stopped after five children, including me, the third one in the batch. It turns out that this guy (the father) of the first child had the only child and remained single all his life. “Woe to the man through whom scandal comes.”
Despite the precarious economic situation that she has had to face at this time, my mother tried to find work, but without success, she did some sewing that was not supportive enough, and she often had housing problems. She was out on the street regularly for nonpayment. Sometimes, she was welcomed by a Good Samaritan or a parent until she could overcome the difficulties.
Father, Dad, what is that?
It is a role which is not vested in all male, it is a vocation.
Without a human father as a living model, I can be proud to have played this role perfectly, firstly, towards my biological mother and her children, a brother and two sisters, and later on, for my own children.

Have I not commanded you: Be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
I will not say THANK YOU for the good DAD that you are to me, but I will say rather that God has given me the chance to have a son, for whom I commend all the good deeds that you did/do for me.

Thank you for the Bible verse which is very appropriate.
Indeed, we must relay.
Richie the musician has already said his word on good and bad dads.
Holding a grudge against someone without knowing the reasons is a lack of faith.
There are many sowers but only one Gardener to whom The great garden belongs.

After reading this beautiful text a second time with its clear and very explicit style, I can only congratulate you on all counts. Firstly for your open-mindedness which makes you a wide open book for those who want to learn the importance of faith and kindness in the game of life. Secondly, for your courage to look yourself in the face in front of everyone through a text that says almost everything about you in a world where hypocrisy is now the rule and frankness the exception. I hold you in high esteem my friend for your decency and your devotion to lighting the way for others in every possible way. And finally, for your conception of the good Dad who,
rightly leaves no doubt about the merits of the heavenly Father who gave us life and jewels such as you to give us a taste for the non-existence that our bad choices complicate so much. Discovering God’s justice despite the sufferings endured is already an attitude of salvation that illuminates your soul in passing. This is how the flower that grew in adversity that you are never ceases to spread its perfume with a very dear smell in the atmosphere like a haven of hope for life that calls to life towards a perfect destiny. Your mother was your very first blessing despite her weaknesses. Your father was your greatest grateful witness that he could not have done better if he tried to behave like a good dad. Your sisters and brothers were lucky to see a family star sparkling with light like a piece of perfectly crafted Diamond after being pulled from the ground. Your work colleagues had been able to notice this distinctive mark on your image of a hard worker and dreamer that you forced yourself to present to them. And I, who am reacting to this message, am impressed by so many other stories that I learned from you. This is what it is like to have the chance to meet a real winner.
There is no life without a story but the story of life needs our stories to recreate itself beautifully in the hearts of God’s children. I feel amply served my friend and thank you very much for this sharing.

Now there, you have crossed the line.
Is there anything better to attribute to someone who exceeds a Nobel Prize? You have just invented it with this comment filled with flowers 🌷 and jewels 💎 . May this appreciation serve as consolation to all those who in a country like ours where these conditions are legion, but that religion, through lack of circumspection, has not presented God in his omnipresent and omnipotent angle, and who preferred to transfer these qualities to a devil whose power exceeds that of the Creator of the universe.

There is no greater father than the universal consciousness. There are many who have lived stories like yours. They all have one thing in common. The sublime cosmic essence chooses those who must contribute to the expansion of its kingdom. The moments of ordeal that you have experienced are the basis of the formation of your personality. A baptism of fire for all those who have been chosen to advance the level of consciousness of our world.

Thank you Gregory for this appreciation and especially for saying out loud what I wanted to say quietly. We must respect all mothers, because being married does not mean that life is all rosy for most women who also bitterly regret having married someone other than God, the true Father, the first Husband of all women. In saying this, I am not blaspheming, since it is written in black and white in the great little book called the Bible: Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father on earth; for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
So, let’s be careful 🥰🤣

I just reread your text titled “good dad” and it makes my heart overflow with joy under the effect of your words of wisdom
Moments of distress stress us and constantly press us in order to instill in us the need to remain strong in the face of adversity
Like a bright beacon on the dark sea, our ship sails with hope even in the evening, when we look beyond the causes of our despair
All glory is to God whenever we manage to be in contact with the understanding of his will
For as the Bible says, his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are straighter than our ways
Here below as in the hereafter, He alone shines in enlightened consciences and oriented towards the happiness of humanity through the good traces left
Being alive is already a bet won and it is a prelude to the dangerous games to play to win the grand prize
The latter consists of embracing with a glance the immensity of the goodness, love and wisdom of God with a receptive heart full of gratitude for the precious gifts of life buried in each of the lives
Thanks to the harmonious development of our natural gifts, we will know how to contribute to clearing the way for other souls on the path to redemption
In the open air your words have remained uncovered like an open book waiting for the curious with sparkling eyes of a great thirst for new lights
