Invitation to an outing

Warmest greetings

A couple of nights ago my daughter shared her friend's story with me and it brought tears to my eyes. Hope it would do something to your hearts as you read.

Her school mate, a boy of 14 was having a chat with her, cried 1 hour at the canteen because he missed his dad. His parents are divorced and both have remarried now. He loves his mum and his dad very much but does not want to talk to his father because he could not forgive his dad for hurting his mum. He does not talk to his step dad either and keeps to himself most of the time. He does not lack material things. He is showered with a double of everything both the parents can afford. He has two TVs, handphones, latest electronic gadgets etc. At fourteen he has a sports car! He has not seen his dad for many years and "lacks love" and attention from his father. He misses him so much and cried as he was sharing !! Is anyone able to sit there and watch this child or your child cry for one hour? It breaks my heart to know.

Dads, dads and single mums please please take your rightful places as the head of the family!! Act now while the kids still want to "tag along". Children are innocent and so fragile. They need our love and protection. Some are so disillusioned with their parents and the world. Parents who are supposed to be role models for them! Can our advice to our kids to take the best of our character and leave the rest ..... work?

Do you think we can stop this vicious cycle? Are we ourselves able to do that? Is it true that some of us have never received love and attention as a child and do not know how to shower love towards our offspring or another? Do we need to seek help? Write or speak to me?
