DADDY!!!!
“Ok, bye Daddy”
A simple statement by a daughter to her father but for me, to hear those words again from my Kawana Michelle!
Wow!!!
I hung up the phone and slowly, at first casually and then with more and more intensity the feeling of
Joy
Peace
Redemption
Rehabilitation
Resurrection
came bellowing up and out of my soul. I am Daddy again, oh Happy Day…. My baby girl got her daddy back.
After years of helpless, remorse for what I wasn’t, decades of unfulfilled promise and potential, numerous encounters with failed attempts at overcoming my addiction – a disease that contaminates, infects and destroys entire families one horrible day at a time. A disease that poisons loving relationships. Choking the life out of the love I had with my first born baby girl. I had given up hope that I could ever be “Daddy” again. But now, in 2010 I hear that sweet sound once again. Look out world:
Kawana’s Daddy is back.
