"Who is your daddy and where are you from?"
Everywhere I went, I replied, "You probably don't know him," but I never said what I was thinking.
"Neither do I."
You gain your identity through your father. He tells you who you are and gives you his name. He communicates to you what it means to be a member of your family, and he instills a sense of pride in who you are.
But when you don't know him or have no received his validation, how do you gain self-identity?
My resolution didn't come from finding the man whose image I had never seen, but rather in the shadow that was always there.
In Made In his Image, but His Shadow Is All I've Seen, I invited you to journey with me in my search for my long-lost father and my own self. Perhaps my journey will lead you toward your own personal discoveries. I started out looking for one outcome, but what I found changed my life forever.
