Okay I guess I did sound like a crazed, angry mad woman in my last post. Sorry all you great dads out there who I may have offended. And yes I was speaking from experience. I know it was obvious to many . Yes my children have ( in my opinion) a dead beat dad! My daughter lives in the same city as her dad and they have not talked in 2 years. That hurts me because it hurts my daughter. I want to make things perfectly clear. Even though my children have not had a dad involved in their lives, they are doing fantastic. Over the years God has placed men in my childrens lives that have stepped up and become mentors to them. I would just like to mention a few now. # 1 is grandpa Miller ( my dad) Always there for anything. He would give the shirt off his back for all his grand children.
# 2 Uncle Ken. My sisters husband. Fantastic man of God who I repect very much. My Tiffany has also come to repsect, and appreciate uncle too. She watched how Uncle Ken is towards his kids and knows what a real dad can be like. This is a good thing. # 3 Joe Rioux. Youth leader when kids were teenagers. He could relate to the kids because he too came from a broken home. #4 Hans Schrempf. He took Jordan out biking a few times over the years. Jordan likes to bike. It always amazed me that Hans was willing to do this even though he was a busy man with a family. #5 Laurie Winter. Always bought Jordan birthday gifts, and sent letters of encouragement . Jordan may not have appreciated this but I did. Laurie took the time to mentor my kids. # 6 Paul Payette. Jordan's father in law. He is such a good dad. He loves the boy like he is his own. A lot of father in laws don't get involved in their kids lives. Paul has accepted Jordan and always encourages, and does things with the boy. I just want to say a huge thank-you to all you fine men who have invested time towards my precious treasures. I know that they are doing fine because you all cared enough to show you cared for them.

They have been blessed with more "dads" and role models then anyone I know! :) The silver lining.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I didn't know you were talking about your kids' dad. Anyway, they have more than a real dad in the persons of your dad especially, their uncles and so forth. Happy Father's Day to them all.
Thanks for dropping by.

I'm glad your kids have had their Heavenly Father looking after them and providing human "fathers" to fill the gaps.
