It was hard for me to write these and know I missed many of them with an absentee dad most of my growing years. If you’re reading this and none of these line up with your experience with a dad, please know I understand. I deeply understand. Yet, now that he is gone, and I’m forgiven him, I can honestly say I miss him.

And, because he was mostly an absentee leader, even if he was working when he wasn’t around (and I personally knew that he was often working out of the office), no one believed he was.

My dad finished life well, (I wrote about that HERE ) before dying a couple years ago, but to fully understand my life, you would have to know that for much a my life, my dad was an absentee father. That put a huge burden on my mom. Some of you know the hardship of the single mom, and it’s one I never take lightly.

Do a quick Google search and you quickly find some of the ramifications of absentee fatherhood on our society. We are in a crisis of men these days. Godly men are in shorter supply. As a fellow dad, I want to use this Father’s Day to challenge my male readers. This is for you fathers and fathers-to-be.
