I completely understand where you're coming from in a sense. You see I have a father that kinda stuck around but he is no father to me. I even got into a spat with my mum about her sending him well wishes today. I hate the term "daddy issues" when it's the fathers that cause issue to their daughters. So whilst I have a tinge of jealousy in your having a father in Granch, I'm so happy for you to be living this life where he is this for you. I can't imagine the blessing it is to have a decent, good standing father figure in your life and we just know he did so well given the way you've turned out. DNA is a physical tether that's all. Biology doesn't make a father, actions do. I hope my comment makes sense in a way. I'm not trying to centre myself, just emphasising biology isn't the be all and end all. I know that feeling all too well. I wish Granch a very happy father's day! Much love 🥰 x
Callie, that was beautiful, and heartbreaking. Granch adores you, and you him. I'm so happy you had one another, but that doesn't erase deep ache of a missing patent. I know the feeling of rejection, and always wondering why I wasn't enough. Mothering my nearly grown children, I cannot imagine what kind of person chooses not to parent, or connect with their child. I do believe we are better off without. Truly, your beautiful husband, your career, the beautiful friends you have, this life you created all by yourself. You are strong, beautiful, and so talented! 🫂🫂
Your writing is just beautiful. I’m sorry you didn’t get what you deserved from your biological father, but my goodness it is no reflection in your worth at all. And how lucky are you to have your Granch - he sounds like a lesson in love. 🫶🏻
What a remarkable woman you are Callie. I love watching the moments you share on Insta with your precious Granch. There is such great humor and unconditional love between you. So many daughters would give everything for that. Happy Father’s Day to the Legend!
