Daddy, Where are You?

Last year at a conference in Orlando, Florida there was a speaker who spoke on those who felt alone, this thought rocked me to my knees almost. My heart was pounding, my head reeled, as I almost I caught myself looking around the audience and saw a young boy being comforted by a couple of ladies, at first, I thought it best to let them console him. I started to walk towards him and had no real “plan” of what to do next. As I looked at him and the ladies backed away, I found myself hugging him and saying “I love you!” We just seemed to connect at that moment, - though I could have been his grandfather -, he replied back, “I love you too!”, as he just stood there smiling and seemed very happy. His Mom said, “this is so new to him!”. He has never had this experience before! She had no idea how this has affected me to this very day! Maybe we all need to hear, “I LOVE YOU!”
