- Watch his face through this part of the video. He seems to be at the border of tears. "If we actually sat with our absent fathers and heard their life experiences, we might be surprised not only by their experiences but also that they survived them." For the Love of my Father (2nd Edition) Page 6. Watch her face when he talks about regretting his absence. This is a man who has done some work on himself. "To admit wrongness would essentially mean the destruction of the only self he has unless he has done some redemptive work. Then he could admit to the past behavior and still have safety in knowing this is not who he is anymore.” For the Love of my Father (2nd Edition) Page 37.

It’s just nice to hear “I should have been there” and “I should have had the strength to be there for your Mother”wow 🙏🏾♥️
I never had a relationship with my father and he left her when I was 2 years old in 1957. Sometimes, you have to let being angry and bitter go. 🙏🙏 My father died in 1992 and I was the one who made the arrangements for his funeral.
May God continue to build this relationship 🙏🏽
So many women are in this place with fathers who were absent.
And Men.
Yes, we really have to do the healing work.
This is the reason I wrote "For the Love of my Father" to share my healing journey.
Women aren't the only ones that are fatherless.And there will be many more. Having sex without considering the consequences have resulted in so much heartache for kids.Marriage may not offer guarantees, but far better than having babies out of wedlock!
"The weight of those words is immense. A testament to the power of vulnerability."
Yes, because any male can make a baby, But it takes a real man to be a father, to father up and stick around, To be personally invested in what you had a part in making. I wish you guys many blessings and healing❤
As a grown woman who is finally healing her Daddy wounds, I am so blessed to watch this. God richly bless this Daddy & daughter relationship & every single one around the globe!! The power of forgiveness and vulnerability!!!!!!!!! #HeartWarming
You can see it in her face that she is still hurt.
Yes, I did. Saw this with two of my students several years ago.
Unstand how she feels been there
Breaking the cycle 🔁 and let this not be in words but in actions
A male who abandons his family, essentially leaving them for dead, is a coward & worse than an infidel. Period.
Precisely . ❤🔥
Correct.
Absolutely 😢😢😢
Child abandoners and abusers are cursed and they can't come around me even if it's 20/ 30/ 40 years later , no matter how sorry they are.
@@saffylllama5609 True. He left Alicia when she was vulnerable.
Now is so easy, the daughter you denied, when she needed you the most growing up, got money now…SO BEAUTIFUL.
Love This For Them. No Girl Should Be Without Her Dad❤❤❤ I Thank GOD I Had M y Dad Till The Day He Gained His Wings 🪽
@@LuvOnHigh Blessings to you! You were very blessed and you know it!
❤
I thank God too. It brings so many people a pain that I can't imagine. Some things we will never be able to fully understand.
Forgiveness is powerful, and necessary to really have a full life period.
Forgiveness is powerful, but not always necessary.
How i wanted to hear this story of reconciliation.... forgiveness heals...
Yes it does, and I can tell you from my life it can make things better.
Alicia you and your parents are in my prayers. On the way to healing.
He didn't need to go as faraway as the streets of Spain... or... the beaches of California... to find time to "walk" with his daughter...
He could've just caught the A train from Harlem... down to Hell's Kitchen... and walk those streets...
It's called... "making time" for your child... NO matter what...
Glad they could find a place they could reconcile... 🙏🏽
There are a lot issues, it's hard to say. They are just blessed to work it out!
Life is life . Better now than never. Reconciliation is always the key to the end.
So good to hear them reconcile. Watching him at the Tonys with her was special. Meeting people where they are is worth it. Blessings to AK and her Poos Craig.
Healing smh. Beautiful moment
@@jdilla4life3871 Isn’t it wonderful to see this happen for them!
I am proud of you all -- let us keep healing each other. Dad and Alicia, be blessed in everything. Keep sharing and loving each other. The best is yet to come. Keeping holding on to each other hand. More blessings.
lol his best days are behind him.
I don't know man, for me these kinds of conversations are not for having in front of a camera. Feels more like a deposition or an interrogation coz he knows whatever he has to be careful with his answers coz whatever he says is going to be broadcast for the world to see.
This is amazing! Alicia was/is mature and fearless to the unknown of trying to connect with an absent father. I did something similar on my channel with my father that wasn’t there for me.
This was encouraging to see. Shout out to Popz for taking ownership and accountability and wanting to build something now before it’s too late! ❤❤❤
Praise The Lord Almighty God, that this man loves his daughter and she loves him. Despite her pain of not having him in her life as a kid, she is open to loving him as a grown woman.Daughter's are awesome!!! Amen.
❤ no excuses parents, an absence mom or dad is a weak person
💯💯
It's important to know that can change. But the child can't hold on to the bitterness from so many years ago many times that parent that left is a very different person years later. The both look happy that they took a second chance
@@chicaliqc I agree, but who are we to say how one would respond to neglect
Not always.
Not everyone is strong
Beautiful!
She is brave, I know I couldn’t and wouldn’t do it. I can very much relate to what Alicia went through growing up.
Stop living in the moment. Sometimes think of the future. How does that feel and look. You look good, are popular, excitement is everywhere but think forward. Years forward so that you can try to do right.
If we could only!
It's great that they're mending their relationship. There's time to make new memories. I wish may late dad and I would have been able to do this. I always wanted to feel like I mattered to him. Unfortunately there always seem to be a barrier that kept him from being a father to me and my brothers. Sadly my children never really know him.
Beautiful,and true story ❤
He looks like he could be her brother. Wow
Win 16 Grammys, i heal with you too 🤷🏾♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😢❤He’s right it’s a beautiful story
She got some beautiful genes 🧬
why so many people and I have this same story@God@bless you
I Love the understanding the both of you have life is short so please forgive
AMEN HALLELUJAH GLORY TO GOD ✝️🙏📖⛪️🎊🎶🎉🙌🧎♀️👋🤝👍👌🎤👩😷🤗😊🙆♀️🎵AMEN ✝️, LOVE YOU GUYS ✝️
I just love Alicia Keys
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God Bless You Both❤️❤️❤️
Well all I can say about this is nice story wish them well
Of course this is made public so their will be a bunch of comments and opinions of all kinds . For me this is their life their business their story their way . I have no realationship with my dad and never needed at all im almost 50 . I didn’t care or even think about him growing up or now as ans adult . God has always been in my life and that’s all the father I’ve ever needed and have and it’s better then an earthly father . I don’t hate my dad if I were to see him I’d hug him and say hello but he is s stranger and that’s how I’d like to keep at this point in my life
My mother was single but I had 8 other older siblings so I didn’t lack anything then or now didht miss out on anything then or now
Life happens it is what it is people need to move on and grow up even with or without a relationship with father a mother or who ever it may be
It's good Alicia had this opportunity to talk, confront, express and ask all the "why's" to her father, not everyone has this opportunity so good for her. More importantly, it's good he's alive for her to do this? It's important for a child to hear the father's side, his version I think like myself a lot of children take their mother's side because of what we've been told or see for ourselves but to actually hear why the father did xyz or felt these ways about their child(en) mother things will make sense. Ill never forget a girl I worked w she told me she poked needle holes in a condom bc she wanted to have this particular guys baby and for the life of him he didn't understand how she got pregnant using a condom and she was on birth control - I asked would she tell him she tricked him she said no If I had access to him I would have told him and wouldn't care if it ruined our friendship bc that was wrong and a innocent child was birthed through fraud trickery and likely will hate the father in some way if they're not w their mom kids don't know the difference? the gurl didn't want him to go off into the military or endeavored to make him be in her life I don't remember specifically the order? He was in the military and went anyways and always came back for the baby-- they didn't make it probably deep down he knew something happened I hope he found out but still loved his child through it all
Although I don't condone any man that abandons his children, I do commend Alicia Key's biological father for admitting his mistakes. However, it's up to Alicia to forgive her father. And the deeper truth is that Alicia doesn't have to love her father, since he didn't love her when she needed him the most.
she had the camera in his face. of course he was finna fess up. Plus he has reached the age of dottiness and vulnerability. its selfish to wait until that moment to working thru old wounds.
Alice is a Momma . when you become a parent you care less about the potency of forgiveness . it becomes more functional. folk need to do better . the best things in life are always free.
@@PHlophe but again, forgiveness is really for yourself. Therefore, Alicia can forgive her father, but that doesn’t mean that she has to accept what has happened to her. See, what we must realize is that abandonment is child abuse. Therefore, I would recommend any of us to seek therapy if your parent abandoned you during your childhood!
EXCUSE, EXCUSE.
HIS EXPERIENCE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO EXPOSE
HIS CHILD/CHILDREN'S TO PAIN.
HE IS HAVING REMORSE ONLY BECAUSE OF HER ACHIEVEMENTS.
FORGIVENESS SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO ANY ABUSER.
PERIOD.
Ahh…Nice…Time… Don’t we wish we could rewind the clock….
I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD; I BELIEVE THAT SHE SAID HER DAD HAD PASSED AWAY YEARS AGO.
I guess because my mom left. It didn't really affect me, and i was with her. I'm good when I see him. Don't feel either way, but I'm so not an emotional person. Nonchalant to a fault!
The razor house 🙌
I remember my dad was throwing me and my sister off on everybody we even was in a kin folk home where i was being molested and my sister was being beaten while my dad wasn't doing what he pose to be doing then the worst part was he gave us up for his girlfriend and we was in a foster home while he started a whole new family with his girlfriend who became his wife now that he got kids with her we done exist anymore.
Javonnie, hunnie that is really sad. He a mean ass Ninja. One of my uncles did sum i canot forget. he had a huge fight with ex wife then he went secretly to the landlord to tell him to throw her out with the kids.
some folk are not meant to be parents.
M father is 88 and I can’t be around him. He literally makes me sick 🤢
She looks just like her dad
Not Everyman can be a father
I bet he explain what happened now
Try to go to church together, please. Any church. Read together the powerful word of God. Please. Can God heal any wound today as in the past ?
Its too easy to kinda let bigons be bigons, it is sometimes important to keep those cowards accountable and make them learn from their own mistakes
🩵🙏🏽
Does her daddy know she’s a 😊😊😊
😂
If she were a meth head would he be trying to reconcile?
She's not and it's irrelevant.What matters is her willingness to forgive . One of the greatest lessons she can instill in her children.And ,her mother probably made it possible by not poisoning her mind against her father.
SHE MAY BE DUE FOR A SACRIFICE..
WHICH WOULD BE THE ONLY REASON SUDDENLY SHE RECONCILES WITH HER BLACK FATHER. 😢
😮😮
Stop it!
Hes not fully black
@@janomesteve3129 he is
@@janomesteve3129 - What makes you think he is not "fully black"? LMAO. Unbelievable. He is black and absolutely looks it.
Her mom was probs unbearable but hes not allowed to say that
The worst ACNE in the world belongs to Alicia Keys
Really? Cause she looks nice and dewy to me.
Come on where you back then now you trying to reconnect cause your daughter famous and$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ men know how to manipulate past to present watch out alicia
