These days we seem to be surrounded by parent’less children. Children who have missed out on parents or fathers in there lives and they are now having children.

My children did not have a stable father figure in there lives. Men seem to think if they can make a child then they are automatically a father.

Wrong, a father is one who is there to guide you, to be a source of strength, comfort and stability, someone you want to aspire too.

You do not have to sire a child to do that, and yes its the same for women. I was never a maternal mother, but I knew that it was my job to do the very best I could and set the standard.

The one thing I am acutely aware of is making the time frequently to speak to them. It was something that was not done for me, so I didn’t carry it forward.

But that is in a big part my fault, I always have in my mind that I don’t want to be a bother to them. I really don’t know how to do it properly because I have not known how. A lot of my life I have watched others to learn the basics of how people should be treated, because my home life was not nice.

But across the road from me is a beautiful little boy, he has a sister and his mum I think just had another baby on Saturday night.

This little boy is so eager for any kind of affection and its him who has been on my heart. If you can spare a little prayer for him, his name is Xander I believe he needs us to pray for him. I don’t know why, I just do.. thank you in anticipation on his behalf.

Because when I was little, Mrs Piazza prayed for me, god bless her
