I have no doubt. And I'm sure that you would rather have had your missing parent around.

Lord, I can't tell you how much I miss having a father. Even after all these years there's a hole in my life that will never be filled, even though I can't remember much about him.

But God is and has beeen gracious. And don't say that superficially.

Actually, no. My father was a despicable man and I don't feel as though I missed a thing by not having him in my life. I was blessed with a Grandma who loved me dearly, and in many ways, saved my life. Never deny the power of strong women- and the love of a grandmother.
