I didn’t see it at a young age, but growing older I saw with certainty the promise that God made through scripture, saying, “I am a father to the fatherless, a defender of widows.” (Psalm 68:5). Even though losing an earthly father caused me severe pain, the fulfillment of knowing that God is a Parent who will never leave me was much greater. Understanding what it meant to lose an earthly father and realizing my Heavenly Father’s involvement in my life, I began to dream that one day I would help people like me find the joy a supreme and eternal support offers.  Many years had to pass for this dream to begin to take shape.
