Hola Mi Amor!

Hola Mi Amor, mi Papi y mis hermanos,

Cómo estás? Well I can’t believe today is the finale of our series. I pray that you have been blessed and that you have shared this series with everyone that needs to hear it.

This is a love letter from a child to their father in honor of Father’s Day- with you in mind. I pray that you feel the love and the continual healing flowing through this post.

Happy Father’s Day to my Daddy, my brothers, my Pastor and all of you fathers out there! Love & blessings to you all!

Hey Daddy

Hey Daddy

Can you give me your ear

I need your time

Come close- over here

I wanna start by thanking you

For loving me, providing, protecting and praying for me

I know it’s not easy in this world that can be so cold

Raising young children when you hadn’t even seen the world

Daddy you are so strong, and smart, skilled and gifted too

You know most of my talents I definitely get from you

You have a heart for others

You’re compassionate, thoughtful 

And let me say this…

Daddy I’m sorry

Daddy I’m sorry for all of the times I never apologized 

For all of the times I didn’t listen to your words that were wise

I’m sorry for breaking your heart

For running away

For the things I knew I shouldn’t start

I’m sorry for the pain I felt inside, instead of speaking up and talking I let them fill me with pride 

Daddy I need to say this with all of my love

Lord give me grace for these things I will speak of 

Daddy I know God made you special, into the man that you are

You’ve battled and you’ve survived ONLY by the grace of God

A life so unfair, you’ve lived through it all

I can’t imagine the things that you went through, I can’t imagine them at all

And still you’re purposed and still you’re called

One of the most important is being Daddy to us all

Now Daddy I love you- that’s not up for debate

but these things I share come delivered with a weight

The pain of your past and traumas of your youth

Can we work to reverse this, these old ways of love redefined into what the Word of God

The words that He had on His mind

The ways to nurture, care and show me love

The true divine character, the ways of the One above

Discipline is necessary, although that be true 

Let the Father remind you of His ways to you

Daddy I need your affection 

I need your time

Life’s too short and we can’t press rewind

Send me a text, call, DM or even a voice note

Mail be a card with the poem you wrote

Take me on dates to dinner, to dance

Sit beside me on the couch and watch our favorite shows when you get a chance

We can go on a walk

Bike ride

Or to the range to go shoot 

I don’t really care, as long as it’s me and you

I know your Daddy wasn’t there 

To teach you how to be a man

To father your children, to love on your grands and reach out just because and to hold my hand

But your love is important 

I’ll take all I can stand

It’s an honor to be your child

It’s an honor to love you man

And even though it may have seemed like your Daddy didn’t care

God our Father is the blueprint and the whole reason you’re here

So no matter who raised you- parenting out of their own traumas, traditions and culture 

We don’t have to carry that now

We don’t have to carry that forward

We’re in a new season

We’re in a new era

I’m ready for change 

I wanna love you better 

So Daddy I thank you

For the good times and the bad

For hearing your laugh whenever I’m sad

For all of the memories that have made me who I am

I thank you Daddy for your love and all of your support 

I don’t want to go through life without you in any way or any sort

As we walk together in His hands our legacy is shifting

Thank You God for the healing and all of your love that’s always unchanging

I love you Daddy

Happy Father’s Day and thank you for your love that has helped to shape me

Love & Blessings,

Jana M. Gamble
