I Hated My Father Because Of What My Mother Told Me, Few Years Later I Discovered The Secret –

I didn’t know my dad. My mom for years accused him of leaving us when we needed him the most. When I asked why daddy left, she told me, “He didn’t want a girl child so when I gave birth and it was a girl, he took your brother and ran away with him.” She made me feel unwanted. The sperm that moulded me abandoned me because I was despicable. I didn’t choose my gender but he chose to leave. I was bitter anytime I thought of my father.

When my mom showed me pictures of my brother, I didn’t know him but I hated him. Maybe, it was jealousy. He was the one Dad chose over me. He has the right kind of gender…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

I was jealous. I didn’t see him as a brother. He was a competition. A competition he won before I could have a starting chance. I spent over twenty years hating my dad. I didn’t know him. I didn’t know his story. I didn’t know his name but I hated him. I read a book one day that talked about a father who ran away.

The daughter of that father set out on a journey to look for her father so she could ask him the questions she had always asked her mom. It took her four years to know the whereabouts of her father because her mom wouldn’t give her any clue. The day she got to where her father was supposed to be, she was told he died that morning. The girl lived the rest of her life with unanswered questions, regretting taking too long to do what she should have done long ago.

That book was my motivation. I didn’t want to be in the girl’s shoes so right after my national service, I started asking questions; “Where does my dad come from? Do you know the whereabouts of any of his relatives? How about the last house he lived in? Where was he working?” My mom found these questions intimidating and irritating so she threw me off and insulted me for asking about a man who abandoned us when we had no wings to fly out of the storm.

Like the girl in the book I read, I set out to look for my father. I started asking questions from my mom’s friends. And then my grandma. She was not living with us and hadn’t seen me in years. I went to her and she told me everything I needed to know. It didn’t take me four years. Just a couple of months and I was face to face with my dad. He told me, “I didn’t run away and I didn’t choose your brother over you. He was much older. Four years old. You were only a year and a half. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

I couldn’t have left with you.” “But why did you leave us?” He hesitated. It wasn’t easy for him to say. He buried his face in his palms and let it remain there for a while. He was crying. I was broken even before he could say why he left. “Your mom cheated. She slept with a man I was working for. I don’t know, it might be because of money.

A lot of people knew about it before I finally caught them. I was the one they laughed at. I didn’t run from you, I ran from the shame. I ran from a bad woman. She knew I wasn’t coming back. There was no way.” Mom lied to me through the years. After my dad left, she also left with me and never went back to the town where this happened. She did everything to cut off that part of her history, even her own siblings suffered to find us.

She doesn’t know I’ve found my dad. My brother is out of the country. We talk. We catch up. He has a new family where he is. A white wife and kids who look more white than black. He also suffered the same thing I suffered.

Dad didn’t tell him about mom. Currently, we are planning on how to unite them in a way that won’t be traumatizing. And from the look of things, there’s more to their story than we’ve been let in. Mom did more terrible things, it seems. It’s in my dad’s eye but he doesn’t talk about it

Nicola and Todd Bailey, a British couple from Sheffield, had a cozy life with their four-year-old son, Lucas. However, a deep-seated desire to expand their family was always on their minds.

Nicola, who worked part-time as a nurse at a community health center, and Todd, an experienced real estate agent, were financially secure and eager to bring more children into their world.

One summer evening, sitting on their porch, Nicola and Todd found themselves discussing their future. Their conversation centered on Lucas, their beloved son, and the possibility of him having siblings.

Nicola had been an only child herself and understood the occasional loneliness that came with it. She didn’t want Lucas to grow up alone, and so the idea of having more children resonated strongly with her…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Their hearts full of love for Lucas and a desire to see him enjoy the unique bond of having siblings, they decided to expand their family. Todd enthusiastically expressed his desire to build a larger family with Nicola, who he adored deeply.

The couple spent the rest of that night dreaming about their future children and how they would play together in their garden. Little did they know their dreams would soon become a reality.

The Baileys didn’t have to wait long for their lives to be filled with joy. A mere five months after that heartfelt conversation, Nicola had a dizzying moment. She collapsed to the floor and was immediately rushed to the hospital. While Todd was initially concerned, they quickly discovered the cause of her dizziness – she was pregnant.

Ecstatic, they returned home and immediately shared the joyful news with Lucas. He was thrilled to learn that he would soon be a big brother.

The prospect of having a sibling filled him with excitement, and he bombarded his parents with questions about his unborn sibling. The family was enveloped in happiness, their hearts full of anticipation for the new addition.

However, their journey was not without its challenges. During her pregnancy, Nicola started to feel unwell. She became incredibly fatigued, experienced frequent dizziness, and her body felt unusually heavy.

As a nurse, she recognized that something was amiss and insisted that Todd take her to the hospital. This decision likely saved their unborn daughters’ lives. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a series of tests at the hospital, Nicola received unexpected news – she was pregnant with twins. The couple was overjoyed and promptly made the announcement to their son, Lucas. They explained that they were going to have twin sisters and received an enthusiastic response. Lucas was delighted by the thought of becoming a big brother to not one but two siblings.

Nicola’s pregnancy, however, became fraught with challenges. She had to be placed on bed rest, a tough task for someone as active as she was. The safety of both the mother and her twin daughters was of paramount concern, and the doctors ensured that she was in good hands.

Through her prenatal care, the Baileys learned the gender of their twins. They were to have two baby girls, and Nicola immediately knew what she wanted to name them – Harper and Quinn. Their hearts swelled with excitement as they envisioned the future of their family with their two daughters.

However, the story took an unexpected turn 38 minutes after Harper’s birth. The doctor returned to Nicola’s room with a solemn expression and revealed that Harper had Down syndrome, a genetic disorder. Nicola and Todd hadn’t known that their daughter had Down syndrome during the pregnancy, and this news was a revelation.

Though this revelation could have dampened their spirits, Nicola, a nurse with experience in caring for children with Down syndrome, welcomed it with open arms. Her knowledge and experience provided a unique perspective.

She knew that Harper would be unique in her own way and understood that Down syndrome would not limit her daughter’s potential or happiness. The couple decided to raise their daughters equally, ensuring Harper would receive the support she needed to thrive.

Despite the unexpected news, their love for Harper remained unconditional. Her condition didn’t change the way they saw her. Nicola and Todd went on to create an Instagram account to share their family’s journey. It became a platform for Nicola to raise awareness about Down syndrome, dispel societal prejudices, and, most importantly, share the joy of their growing family.

As they journeyed forward, the family embraced the uniqueness of their situation. Their story is a testament to the power of love and acceptance. Harper, Quinn, and Lucas are indeed a unique and loving family, demonstrating that love knows no genetic boundaries.

Nicola and Todd wouldn’t change their family for the world. They are proud of their unique and beautiful family, which has redefined their understanding of love and acceptance.

Chick-fil-A is known for caring about the community wherever the restaurant is located.

Many of the managers hold fundraisers for organizations and people who are in need as well as those who are sick or who have lost family members and need a helping hand.

Meeting someone who is homeless often strikes a nerve to do something to try to help for many people. There are also those who tend to avoid helping the homeless.

One man stumbled into a Chick-fil-A in Tennessee, possibly looking for something to drink or just to get away from being outside for just a few moments.

The manager decided to do something a little special for the man.

When the homeless man entered the restaurant, he wanted to try to get a few scraps that would otherwise be thrown away…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He wasn’t asking for money and didn’t ask the customers for any kind of assistance.

When he left the restaurant, he had a huge smile on his face because of the actions of the manager.

While the interaction was taking place, a father and his daughter were enjoying a meal at a nearby table. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The father made a social media post about the story so that others might be able to see how the homeless are treated and how simple actions can make a difference.

The daughter decided to trade the toy from her meal for ice cream.

As they waited for a few minutes for her ice cream to be prepared, they saw the exchange between the manager and the homeless man.

The man was wearing muddy shoes and looked tired. Most of the people in the restaurant tried to stay away from him.

Soon after the man entered the building, the manager talked to him and explained that he wanted to help. He was given a full meal instead of the scraps that he wanted.

The manager also prayed with the homeless man, touching his shoulder so that he would feel as though someone cared.

For some managers, they could have sent the man away, but this manager made a difference if only for a few moments in time.
