Thank you for bravely sharing your moving testimony, and your story of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Take a look at your first sentence:

How does one tell others about their dad and how you ended up being the person you are today?

Consider this re-write, not in 2nd person:

How do tell others about my dad and how I ended up being the person I am today?

The 1st person version makes it more relatable: after all, these things happened to you, not me. Something to consider in future writings.

I'm glad I read this--stories like this warm my heart.

Thanks for sharing a snapshot of your Dad's life, and how it affected you. Hold on to those good, "creekside memories" of your Dad, especially if you begin to have doubts about him.

Thank God for the sweet memories that push back the hard ones. Beautiful.
I was perusing some old stories and came across this piece and it really touched my heart. :)
