I hope your day was better than mine.

In YW's we were talking about families and how we have our Father in heaven who loves us, and then one of the girls who I've known for a while shared how she felt when her parents divorced when she was four and how it affected her to not have a father figure in her home.

It really struck a chord in me since I couldn't even remember a day when I had a father figure other than my grandfather and my uncles present in my life.

Apparently everyone noticed when I just stopped smiling and starting focusing on my sketchbook the rest of class.

My leaders understood how I was feeling since they've known me since before my parents got divorced when I was 18 months old and they pulled me off to the side and asked what was wrong.

It sucks not knowing how one parent feels about you. I haven't seen or heard from my father since I was about six or seven, and it really hurts everyday. I usually just keep everything bottled up and I refuse to let people see that side of me.

I felt like a big baby just crying in front of them. I'm still crying thinking about it...

Anyways, ignore this and have a better day than I did.
