Sad story

Bro. Tyler,

your post moved me as much as the poem did. I too have two girls 15 and
13...and I missed a lot of their growing up, cause I had to work. When I
come home, even now they cry out
"Mooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee" just like that and it
is wonderful. It scares me to death what could happen to them, when I am not
with them to protect them.

I think that girls are special to their Dads. I don't know why it is that
way, but that's how it is. Sometimes I wished my girls had a Dad in their
lives that cares. Though he calls every other month (which he only started 3
years ago. For 6 years we did not know where he was.), it is still not the
same as having Dadddy around. My oldest does not have a relationship
whatsoever with her Dad, but my youngest really loves him. You know, when I
got back to Germany, I told God to be the head of my household and the
Father of my children. I remembered how he said that he would take care of
the widows and the fatherless...and I prayed though I am not a widow to take
care of me and though my kids are not fatherless to take care of them. And
that he has. I can see the Lord's work in both of my children. Sharon's
dedication and burden for the lost. Her desire to be in church, to study her
bible and to start an informal home-bible-study with her friends. It is
tremendous to see. Seeing both of them weep at the altar, makes me thank God
everyday for them. He surely has become their Dad and when something is
wrong they go to Him and seek comfort there. I can really say that my
children are "Daddy's little girls". :) Doris=20
