Happy Father’s Day!
If that phrase, or Father’s Day in general, brings to mind unpleasant memories or present tensions between yourself and a parent, certified counselor H. Norman Wright wants you to know that you are not alone, in this excerpt from his bestselling book A Dad-Shaped Hole in My Heart:
There are many people walking around with a hole in their heart in the shape of their father. They are missing something from their father that should have been given. Or he responded to them in ways that were way beyond what any daughter should have to endure. Or he simply vanished one day from their lives and hasn’t reappeared. Any of these experiences can create a hole that seemingly cannot be filled by anything else. If you think you are alone, that your pain is unique to you and your family, I hope that this article will show you that this is not true.
