Earlier today I blogged about a prayer for Father’s Day. Within my own family my prayers go out to my nephew Matthew and his half-brothers and sister. Today they will spend their first Father’s day without their dad. Almost a year on from Michael’s death the sense of hurt, pain and loss is still very tangible within the family and on this day in particular his children will feel very low. Please pray for them as their is much healing and reconciliation needed as people get angry with each other and God about this situation. In additional please pray for children everywhere who are missing their fathers who are departed, missing or estranged.
I leave you with the tributes paid by Michael’s children Matthew and Ollie at the memorial service last year.
