Note: I grew up with my biological father in my home. But many people loose a parent, a father to death. It influences their lives. Often it takes many years to come to peace with the loss.
Personal struggles of people finding themselves without a parent around is a common place dilemma in todays society. Sometimes even if a father exists, one may hear a friend say "the type of father I had...was little better than no father at all."
I tried to put myself into feelings that a person's mind that has possibly come to resolve about not knowing or remembering their father because of the loss of him at a young age.
Healing must be very difficult. I do not assume to know...but I have felt empathy for friends who know first hand how sad not having their father, in growing years is.
