Timothy this one deserves 10K in likes. Probably the most powerful one you've done yet. This will resonate with a lot of viewers. My parents divorced when I was 15, my dad was still around, but you get torn with what side to take, the teen years are tough enough without that thrown on top of everything. You and Fred have handled this better then anyone I can think of. Through sheer willpower, you two believed in yourself, believed in your dreams, got your family out of Gary. A success story at 24, not many can say that.
Beautifully stated! Tim is a blessing, as is his brother. His encouraging, heartfelt words will resonate with so many!
I appreciate it 🙌🏽
Absolutely!!
Powerful man. Great attitude and you are a awesome person. Keep it up 🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏
Tim, you have adapted and overcome in the most amazing ways. You saying you appreciate the little things is so heartwarming. Your Dad really missed out! You are such an inspiration!. 🥰❤️
Tim There are sooo many kids out there that could use a Father figure. Take your emotions, knowledge, talents and love and bless some kids. It will bring great rewards. I know!
You are the definition of a real man. Mentally strong and wise, plus also kind and honest. You are extremely impressive!
We all have to be our own inner parents ❤
You and Fred are so special. Your words and actions are so powerful......You both are blessed, continue to move forward.....You are great makings of REAL men!!!!
I didn't have a father in my life that is a pain that never goes away.
You truly amaze me! While there was no stable father figure in your lives, you have found good examples from each other. Good for keeping your chin up Tim. You are a real survivor! I hope many who are looking for motivation will find this channel. You speak for real Tim. Bless you all!
Thanks i appreciate and I like that real survivor means a lot 🙌🏽
Hey Tim My parents divorced when I was four and my mom remarried when I was five. I barely saw my dad and my step dad treated me like dirt . My dad died when I was eighteen and I saw him in the hospital and had my goodbye. When I became an adult I forgave my stepdad and he was nice to me finally. He passed away too. It goes with you throughout your life and it is hard to not have a dad. I am not a result of not having a dad. I am strong because of my past. Props to you and Fred! You are both awesome and I have mad respect for you guys. Thank you Tim!
Grew up without my father but my brother and I are awesome men, my mom taught us a lot I'm not saying we didn't need our father but we did well without him so those of you without father's don't go through life hating him just concentrate on being the best in life that you can be.
Thank you (for my son).
I can tell you've grown up in the church and had some type of strong role model influencing your lives. Idk if that's your mom, grandparents, or both, but they've done a great job instilling all the core values that will successfully carry you through life. Stick to the plan you've been taught... love your channel
You are a really remarkable young man.
You can be proud of yourself.
Your mum & grandparents did a marvellous job, taught you well. True forgiveness and understanding is learning to thank the father for the person they made you for their lack.

The sad part of a father leaving his children is when he gets with someone who has children, and he is help raising them, that is so foul!! It happened to us, and we all went to the same school, it was AWFUL and when my dad's girlfriend's daughter and I were in the 12th grade at the SAME school, he bought her a car while I was on the school bus! But it made me a stronger person, I wasn't mad because it was not her fault it was his, then that woman left him and then he wanted to come back home, and my mom was not having it! I was and still am proud of my mom. My dad is no longer here but my mom is, 84 years young and in good shape and spirit!!
My ex-husband left the country when my son was 7 yrs. But my father stepped up and was there for him till my father's death. So my son got those lessons and he is now 49 and is there for his grandkids
Yes, keep your head up. You are remarkable and loved.
You don’t know me, but in watching and listening to your videos, I just want to say that I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! I understand exactly what you are saying, and I pray that with the wisdom, knowledge, discernment, perception and experience that God has allowed you to have, that you break that fatherless cycle in your own life when & if that time comes LORD WILLING. I appreciate you, and God the ULTIMATE FATHER HAS YOU AND HAS ALWAYS HAD YOU!!! Take care, and thank you.💜
I try hard in this life because I come from a broken home. I know the impact that can have on you as a human being. Certain things you learn in this life, impulse control, interpersonal relationships, etc. I struggle everyday. You, my young friend, YOU are taking this life by charge. I can honestly say that I feel a terrible sadness for your dad that he missed (mostly) out on you. That's how wonderful you are. Mixed emotions are normal. You love him, but you're mad at him. I love you little brother, stay strong in this life, it's not for weaklings.
Tim you just be the best father you can be when you become a father.😊
I'm so proud of you!!!
So many people, people in their 40s, 50s still blaming their parents for all their problems.
Comes a time, ya just realize it is what it is , now live life!
Tim, I have full confidence that if you ever get married and have children, you will be a great husband to your wife and a great father to your children.
You will be a good role model to any sons or daughters you have. They will know that you will love, teach, provide, and protect them to the best of your ability.
They will know that you will not abandon them when things get tough and challenging. I have no doubt that you will be that kind of man, and God knows we need more
men like that in the world, particularly in so many Black communities.
As a man I have come to realize that I can learn from others what not to do as well as what to do. If I grew up without a father who abandoned me, I would learn not
to do that to my family if I ever have one. I would learn to be a better man than my father was and not to repeat his behavior.
As a man, we are supposed to serve as a role model for our sons and daughters. We teach our sons what a good husband and father looks like so that they know how
to be a good husband and father. We teach our daughters what a good husband and father looks like so our daughters will know how to better recognize a good man
as they seek to be in a relationship with a man.
None of us men are Superman or have all the answers, but good men do not abandon their families when things get tough because that is the time our women and children
need us the most. Our women and children will be right there with us as a family to weather any bad times that come because that is what family is all about.
I bid you peace.
Young blood at 55 my dad left at 7 , he was still there at times , he is gone now , Drugs, All i can say is my mom was strong had grandpa to teach me to do brakes and work on cars and cook :) and work hard family businesses :) If you have a child be the dad you did not have , They will thank you for it :) i did not leave my daughter although i did not want children me and mom still together 21 years not married and we live in the woods after the city for 20 years and our daughter graduated high school i am so happy , Never give up love your channel :) Life is a learning process every day friend :)
Bruh ...continue to stay strong and keep God first in your life..he will never fail you, but man will sometimes in a person's life.
Your Mom did an AWESOME job on her own. You, Fred & your brother are Blessed, amazing, responsible, intelligent young men! Continued Blessings to you all. 🙏🏽🥰
We all get dealt different cards in life but I can truly appreciate how you and your brother played the hand you were dealt. You guys are about half my age but so wise. I have no doubt you both will be the best and present fathers when that time comes. May God continue to bless you on life's journey ❤️
Me And My Brother's & My Three Sister's Lost Our Father Over 15 Year's Ago!! We All Know That He's Apart Of Us Because He And Our Mother Made Us!! We See Him Again!!.. When GOD Brings Back The New World 🌎🌍 New Jerusalem Aka Heaven Of Course 🕊️ 🕊️.. Keep Praying 🙏🙏 To GOD, And Stay Close To Love One's & Family Members.. That's The Key 🗝️🗝️.
It takes rare men to start such a conversation! We so desperately need to talk about these issues - and the two of you have stepped up to start the dialog about what adulthood really means. So many of us have lost our way - you and Fred are leading thousands of people back to what is important in life. You are trailblazers! Keep up the hard work!
Tim, only the Lord can give you that mind you have. I love how you say instead of using not having father as an an excuse, you use it as motivation. My father wasn’t the best example- being in and out of jail most of my life, alcoholic, drugs, kids by 3 different women… but like you, I love my dad with all my heart. Please keep that mind you have. Your grandparents did an amazing job raising you.
Happy holidays and thank you for your positive example, Tim.
Everyone makes mistakes. Some are bigger than others and I'm so sorry that a young man as yourself had to go through this. You have a great attitude. Much love to you sweetheart ❤️
My mother rised us by herself but my father did not come in our lives till we was 12yrs old because my mother was married to him at 18yrs old and he was drinking and abusive so my grandmother sent my aunt and uncle over my father's house to take my mother out and bring her back to her house we was 1yrs old my mother divorced my father and moved us to Detroit Michigan and than New Jersey my father is in our lives but he lives in North Carolina he never took care of us and my mother did not want no child support she rised us by herself my mother was a strong woman thank God for her i love my father regardless of what happened we are close to him today😊
Great advice. Us kids have to remember to never think that your Mom or Dad's absence is because of anything you did at all or have anything to do with you. All through out my childhood I thought my Dads aloofness and moodiness was because of something I did. As an adult I learned that he was just trying to make it through the day dealing with his own problems, demons and adult stuff. He loved me very much but sometimes people aren't the best parents.
You are a shining example of not only overcoming adversity in life, but of excelling in the most positive manner. What a wonderful soul you are!
Your positive spirit and grace of forgiveness is inspirational. You are wise beyond your years. Thank you for this message. You are an amazing young man who spreads kindness, humor, and wisdom with every video.
My daughter’s dad has been in her life, but lives far away and never made an effort to be a strong presence in her life. Luckily she has a great stepdad who has been very involved, but she still went through some struggles with feeling abandoned. She’s 19 now, found Jesus, and now has a lot of peace about it. It’s hard! Praying for everyone dealing with similar issues.
My father was not in my life . I am 56 and he died a couple years ago. I always thought some day I will tell him how I feel and ask him why he was not there and have a relations ship with him and get to know him .My advise don't wait .
I still give my momma "Happy father's Day" cards and take her out to dinner...
As a single mom of a now-adult son, I thank you for doing this one!
You have a lot of wisdom, someone did a great job raising you. I love seeing your success😊
This reminds me of that episode of Fresh Prince when Will Smith gave that epic speech about his absent father. I think you and Fred should react to that together.
I have a dad but he was abusive and alcoholic so I had to disconnect from him.
Tim, your warmth, compassion, strength and wisdom are touching beyond words! I know you'll continue to touch so many people throughout your life. Your brother is a wonderful person too! Wishing you and Fred health and happiness during the holidays and always! 💝
Tim as a single mom raising a son who grew up without his father know that you can make it my son did he is college educated, a certified cable technician and now he is in the electrical lineman apprentice program so yes you can excel in life. He is also a great father himself. Know that as a mom I have always encouraged him to have a relationship with him because I always realized as a mother there was only so much I could do. That boy's need the bonds with their fathers. As for you and Fred I give your mom props would be proud to be a mom to you guys. Stay strong and make good decisions you will go far in life.
Thank you for an amazing Christmas gift.
Knowing there are still young men like you in the world, gives this old man some hope.
You are a self-made man,
Top of the list for respect in my book,
Well done!
(I don’t have the words to truly convey how impressive you are)
Thank God for young men like you
Awesome outlook. If you are not already involved with younger boys, really pray about it because they need positive words and interactions and get involved even if it’s in your church.
Even President Obama thought you and your brother are solid wonderful young men!!! No matter what had happened in your past you’re such a great example for others
Yes
Boundaries are crucial no matter if it’s with family. Be true to your own light
You and your brother are doing great!! God bless you both!! I pray blessings and success for you both.
You have such wisdom, compassion, and deep goodness, and I hope you recognize that the amazing human you are today is a testament to the person that brought you up to now. Your father missed out.
Sending you a big hug and lots of love. I don't know you irl, but I am so proud of you.
Wow! That is a very powerful message you said. You are very mature in your age. I'm so glad that you are not a bitter person. Forgiveness is something most people are afraid of doing, but we all to remember that God Almighty showed us grace so you make a great point. If Jesus Christ ✝️ forgives us for the sins we've done, then why not forgive others as well. We must always honor our parents, that's one of the commandments. I give you props Timothy, so well said. We all need a father figure in our life. Some of us might never have that but just remember you will always have your Heavenly Father in Heaven. He will never leave you nor forsake you. All we need to do is repent of our sins and have faith that Jesus Christ ✝️ is Lord and follow Him the rest of your life and you will receive the gift of everlasting life. No one can earn there way to heaven, you must be born again. You will have the Holy Spirit in you and you will be a new person in Christ ✝️
Sir Timothy.... you humbled me right there. Your an amazing young man you really are. Your smarter and have more guts and courage and are stronger then most of the people I know and have ever known. God Bless you Sir you are well advanced and truly wise for your years. Hard lessons you have truly learned from and you learned them well too. Tim nothing happens by accident not now not ever. There are hard things we go through in this life because God is trying to get us somewhere. He's trying to shape us and mold us into what He wants us to be for His glory sake. Forgive your Dad as your Father in Heaven forgives you. We all have one true Father and He's in Heaven so even if your earthly Father fails you, as we all do because were all human, your Heavenly Father will never fail you trust in Him rely on Him He loves you dear Tim. Learn from your Dads mistakes and dont fall where he fell you are already doing better then he ever could and I'm betting he watches you in these videos. I know in his heart hes proud of you and your brothers of that I have no doubt. My Father was always in the home but in all other ways he was absent. I grew up fighting him over my Mothers time and attention it felt more like a sibling rivalry then a Father. I was an unwanted child by both of my parents and there wasn't a day that went by that both didn't let me know that. I was severely abused by both in every way imaginable but God saw me through it all and had other plans for me and saved me in more ways then one and in more times then I can count too. Lean of God Timothy lean on Him. When the whole world lets you down lean on Him He is always there for you and He will never leave or forsake you. I love you, and you and your whole family is in my prayers and yes even your Dad he will come back to you. Peace always.
I am a 66 year old white Woman who discovered you omg wayyyyyy last year and loved every video you have. I love your reaction to music of all eras lol sigh some of the videos took me back to good times I can remember sitting in my room listening to my two favorite artists ARETHA FRANKLIN and JAMES BROWN I had every album they made. Then came JACKSON WOW when he died a huge part of my life was gone Thank God he gave us a thing called MEMORY sometimes it is the greatest trips to go on and yes it can take you down dark scary roads you traveled also Anyway you and whomever raised your butt did excellent ! You are a very awesome young man. I enjoy watching your videos and hearing the special messages like these videos I am a mom of two sons and a daughter. NO DAD for them either and I tried so hard to be both Us single moms do try and sone of us succeed to have amazing kids like you and some moms will fall short plus it’s hard when our kids sometimes meet up in life to the kids of moms who should have never been moms My awesome friend you have a blessed rest of your life. This is my first time commenting which I had to because you are so amazing you bring tears of pride in my heart. It’s a moms thing. Lol and it extends to other moms kids lol so again my moms pride for you is overwhelming like you were my own GOD BLESS YOU ! Merry Christmas to you and family !
You have done so well! What a motivation! I lost my dad at 11yrs old. I am very proud of you!
This was a powerful video. It will surely help other young people who have similar life situations. In addition, your maturity, honesty, kindness, self-awareness, thoughtfulness, and intelligence are an inspiration to people of any age. Stand tall. You are simply the best.
That's a heavy topic to deal with.
Tim, you Fred and Dom are all strong well spoken fine young men. I appreciate your strength, confidence and courage to speak about tough topics such as this... you are a great source of motivation to young people in this crazy world. Stay strong and stay focused and the success will follow. I pray that someday your father will reach out to you. I know you guys make your mom proud and she loves you all very much. Your fans adore you very much. Thank you for being so genuine. You are a class act 👏 💪. Happy Holidays!!
You all will be wonderful fathers someday despite your lack of guidance. "Despite" is the key word as you have learned hard life lessons from your circumstances. Good souls. Your recent inspirational videos have been gems. Even though I'm not related to you I am so proud of all of you.
You boys are exceptional young men. And I think someday, your children will be blessed to have you. I keep praying that somehow Family will become a priority again. There's been a breakdown of the family over the years. Faith is pushed aside and with it so many of our values. You're doing a wonderful thing claiming your life as your own. You are a sweet soul.
I just wanted to say thank you for being so open about such a delicate subject. I’ve had a similar experience with my father. When you said you weren’t going to say what your father thinks because you’re not him, that was wisdom! A lot of times we make the mistake of assuming what someone may be thinking and that can cause us more stress. I also appreciate when you said that children should not have to beg a parent to be in their lives. ❤
Much love, much power, and much respect, and all my prayers to you and your brother. You have transformed everything into gold, young one. Please just keep making the wise decisions, keep the beautiful heart, keep your eyes on the prize, and maintain and protect your strong and powerful energy. Please don't change for nobody, you are a rare gift the world has come to love.
I came across your channel looking for music reviews and stayed and subscribed not only because of the music reviews, but because of your positive energy and mindset. I am an older viewer and it is so refreshing to see our young generation spread love and light. You speaking on this subject will help and resonate with so many people, especially young men, as often most lack awareness and don't have emotional maturity due to a lack of guidance on how to be a man from their father because they were not there, just like you said. Mindset is everything, as you are proving, and can get you through the worst of times, along with love and support from those who are there and do believe in you. At 24 you and your brother should be proud of yourselves of the work you have put in to continue to believe in yourself in spite of your circumstances. Keep shining your light!
I agree. I'm 50+ and, like you, I checked in a couple of years ago for reviews and got so much more. I love the positivity! We need it so much.
Thanks, Tim. Your words are powerful and you use them to uplift. Keep moving forward! Piece and love to you and Fred.
Thanks i appreciate the kind words 🙌🏽
Well said, Tim. Some kids have a dad in the next room, but he’s emotionally absent.
It’s a common story. Dad left, never came around. Can make the kid a high achiever because of it………watch this.
Oprah, Adele…lots of people have had the same story.
Just be sure you set a family goal for yourself. Be a dad.
Statistically, the closest to age 30 before marriage, the less likely a divorce. You’ve lived and loved. Then, choose the person based on knowing yourself.
Be a dad. Your love and wisdom shows with each of your vids.
Huge following, you and Fred went from Jump to ….Barack is on the phone, can you two take a call?
When you talked about seeing other fathers, you made me get all teary eyed. When I was a child my parents were abusive. When I would be in public and see couples who loved their children, in my heart it would hurt so badly. I would want to have those parents and be like those kids who are loved. It really affected my self-esteem. It affected the rest of my life. Fortunately at 22, I got into therapy and that helped me greatly. I had to establish self-esteem on my own and know that I was worthy even without parental encouragement. I leaned on God and knew that I was special in His eyes and that's all that matters.
You've done amazingly well 🙂 Just use your experience as motivation, build your own family on a rock, stick around for your own kids. And yes forgive him because remember we all do the best with what we have, it might not seem like it, but your dad did his best, and forgiveness is as much for you as for him.
I love this video. The fact that he was there for a moment, shaped you. You and Fred impress me so much. You are young and have great heads on your shoulders. If or when you have children, you will be a fantastic father/pop/dad.
Thanks for sharing! I am happy to be a subscriber and patreon. ❤❤❤🙏🏿
You would be a great mentor for the Boys & Girls Club.
I pray that GOD continue to bless you all.
I never met my father. He deserted my mom when he found out she was pregnant. It was not easy for her to be a single mother in the early sixties. Luckily, my grandparents were supportive of my mom babysat me while she worked. You are so right to not hold hate and resentment in your heart. That only hurts yourself. I never let the lack of a father hold me back. It was embarrassing at times as it was not as common when I was born in 1964. I kept moving forward and now have a very blessed life. Thank you for your message to all people who grew up without a father.
Never met mine either, but I didn't know it until a couple of years ago when I did a DNA test and discovered my dad was not my dad. My "stepdad" was distant, couldn't connect, and I never knew why, but now I know. Idk why the biodad stopped coming around, but I have zero memories of him and never even heard his name until this discovery. Oh well, his loss. I am a Christian, I am a neat person, and I would have been a good daughter and granddaughter and sister had I been given the chance, so it is everyone's loss that they didn't want to know me or weren't given the chance to know me. My heavenly Father is 1st and foremost, and that is what is truly important ❤🥰🙏 Forgive and move on, don't carry THEIR burdens and issues. Tim & Fred/you/me/we did NOTHING to cause them to make the choices they made, that came from their own issues, which I hope and pray they dealt with before they died.
@@debbienewton909 Thank you for sharing your story. My mom eventually married a very nice man who treats me as his own. I agree that it is their loss for not taking the time to know us. I am a Christian as well and always look to our Heavenly Father for guidance and support. God Bless you. Merry Christmas.
@@tbfisher7717 ❤️🧡
👏👏🤗Bravo! We as your viewers appreciate your words of wisdom to resonate with so many others out there in similar situations! Continue to encourage others to be motivated to do the same, to keep your head up, to be better, to be stronger because you owe it to yourself to do so. Your heart and mind are in the right place Tim and Fred. Not just to prove your dad wrong but to prove to yourself as a person to believe you are deserving of love and a happy, healthy life. Peace and love to you and your family ☮💕🤗
Beautiful tree.Inspirational talk.
That forgiveness and love for your family will take you a long way in life young man. “TRUE LOVE”
You sound so mature for 23,24 year old..God Bless You and your brothers
You are such an awesome kid ,. Your mama should be proud of you guys xxx. Maybe you could channel your hurt and be there for a lot of the young boys coming up in the same boat. Big brothers , just a simple thing like showing up to a ball game or a school play ,. I raised my son , his dad would pop up every couple of years , but I know how hard it is to raise a boy no being a man. But you are absolutely in the right track my darling. Your a good boy. Love and hugs x
You are an amazing young man. You did not let your heart get hard but chose to follow forgiveness and hope and your life is blessed for it. I am glad you have some good memories with your dad. Father's are very important. Your heavenly Father has been with you and Fred all the way! Keep your heart with Jesus, He loves you! The Bible says He is a Father to the fatherless. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You have a very good head on your shoulders hon. Keep that frame of mind and you will succeed. You are so young and wise beyond your years. I’ve been following you and your twin since you guys were like only at 100k subscribers 😊 I’m so happy your channel has grown so much, you guys have put in the work and now that you mostly do it you are putting in that work. ❤️ Happy holidays to you and your family too. Can’t want to see how your channel continues to evolve. P.S. I love your Southern Accent 🙂 I hope I’m right I’m basing it on some people I know who I can hear them talk all day. I love the South’s accent! lol I have an accent too, I’m a New Yorker from Brooklyn lol Take care! Keep up the good job!
Young man I am so sorry for you and so many others in this situation. I was lucky to have both parents. Even as a woman, since my dad was a cop, I felt protected. He taught all his 5 daughters to defend themselves. But even with both parents I wasn't shown how to talk to a boy. I was shown how por people lived and to have mercy and to be generous. But I never learned about cars. We were taught how to budget are money. My father hurt my feelings so deeply I left home at 18. Look at men you admire (not idolize) learn from them. My dad is still alive at 87. But he doesn't want to see me. But God loves me. God loves you and your brother. He is your true Father. Thanks for sharing. I'm a 60 year old white christian woman. Merry Christmas. Love Robin.
You’re a great guy. Keep being you. Love
This is your perspective and you are right, as a woman who grew up without a father it leaves you without any role model as well you don't know and cannot trust your judgment of men you always end up with your father you got to be a good man and a good father and break the cycle I ended up picking someone just like my dad even though I didn't know him and my son grew up without a father it's a horrible cycle. I'm glad you are self aware and I know you can do a much better job just being able to talk and share your feelings will probably help you a lot.
Kid you are doing great! Exploring these topics in a serious, reflective way is the path to being a man. I can tell you're feeling down. Fight that shit! The fight against self is the only battle that matters.
This was a powerful testimony. Only God knows why we are put in the situations in our lives. I believe that good fathers are such an important part of the family structure. Especially for our young black men based on statistics of who is head of household. Keep God as the center of your lives and you are a great example of overcoming difficulties that are no fault of your own. Your positivity and intelligence will lead you to great things. Thank you for sharing a part of your life. God bless you, Tim, and your family!
I lost mine at 20, and that was bad enough. And though I don't know your father, I can tell you mine, who was a person of integrity, kindness, and held true to his values through difficulty, would have thought very highly of you both. You have become such lovely, talented, thoughtful young men, and everyone I share your videos with is immediately a fan. 🙏💜
A father is important in the family unit. I also didn't have my bio father either and it negatively impacted my entire life. To this day, I struggle with rejection, but I am no longer mad at him, I forgave him many years ago in my 20's. I recently met some sisters from him who have a relationship with him and I'm glad we met, but he still denies me even though I found my sisters through ancestry DNA and they thought I wouldn't be happy about that and of course it doesn't feel great but I told them that I've lived my whole life without him, I don't really need him now. But I've had a huge warped mindset of my worth and honestly I still couldn't tell you what dads do for their daughters, I keep thinking maybe I would've made better choices or didn't have some negative outlooks on my perception of myself if he was in my life.
Someday, you're going to make a wonderful father. You and your brother both. ❤️ Sage words from such a young man. Happy Holidays.
Me and my best friend were just talking about this tonight. Mine died when I was very little but my bestie lost hers a few yrs ago ON XMAS so ahe has had a really tough time dealing. Its never easy whether we lose them when we or they are young or old but holidays can be particularly difficult to get thru. It's almost impossible not to miss them.
Very wise words Tim, stay strong, you’re amazing
You are an incredible young man. I admire your maturity. I am sure this time of year you must be thinking about your father more. He is missing out. But you are reaching out and that's great. I wish you happy holidays and I wish for the new year that you continue to thrive and be great!
My Dad wasn't in our lives much growing up. I know what you mean about those memories when you were walking places. I have those memories too, don't remember what we said but it was the feeling. My Dad had a lot of demons and I believe he did the best he was probably capable of. When we reconnected by phone, he was in stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I had no room in my heart for hate or bitterness, just sadness of the time I wish we would have had. I was blessed to be able to say my goodbyes on the phone as he died. Thank God for hospice nurses. Thank you for the messages you bring, stay humble and strong.
Thanks for the video Twin & encouragement to the fatherless children out there 🙏🏽...I too grew up without a father all my life & I'm 52 now, only met him once as a small child, he's a stranger to me. But God has been faithful to me & has been the best Father a girl could ever have ❤. For those who do not have a physical father in this life, look to God the Father for all your needs, He will Never Fail you as a human father will & can do.
I love these conversations great topic, big difference is when a father just not their verse someone having an addiction or whatever and you have to learn to forgive them. Sometimes that can affect a child especially when they grew up, regardless it does effect you, i know for me it did.
You are wise beyond your years, Tim. I’m so sorry it came from pain. Your father has really cheated himself.
Thank you. Know that it is ok, not to have the outmost respect. Love him, respect him but the outmost respect is for the real fathers that remain at home and are constant part of your life. I’m glad that you keep your head up. I appreciate you and honor your spirit. Be the change. 👍🏽
You are an incredible young man. My daughter’s boyfriend grew up without his dad in his life. When he moved from Barbados to the US he continued to have a difficult childhood. You remind me of him. He has worked hard and has looked to other strong men in his life to have a positive influence on him. His high school basketball coach was that person for many years and now my husband is a strong influence to him. I can only imagine how difficult it has been for you to grow up without your dad’s presence but you have made a huge impact on hundreds of thousands of people and continue to do so with the new direction of your channel. We always learn how we want to be in the future from our past, and your future looks bright. I can see the father you will be one day and it looks wonderful. ♥️
I can't imagine what a large beautiful heart you have Tim. You have matured so much since I started watching you and Fred.
When I first watched you on your ripped chairs and sheets on the wall, I fell in love with your heart and soul. Your work ethic was remarkable, hanging around outside your friends house to catch the internet to show your reactions. You are remarkable men today. Your hard work is rewarding you. Continued success. God bless your family. Big hugs from Canada.❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
You are a wise and thoughtful young man. You give me hope for the future. Thank you!
That's where our heavenly Father steps in. ❤🙏❤
You’re a survivor Timothy. You came through a kind and strong man despite not having parental support as a kid. I lost my mom at 7 and it put me on a completely different path. Humor and music are my best friends. Therapy has never worked for me because I’ve had to deal with it all since 7. All the adults in my life let me down. I’m too strong willed for therapy?🤷🏻♀️It works for many though. I love how you’re sharing with others and encouraging them. That in itself is therapy. It wasn’t our fault. We were just babies. Stay strong as you are❤️
My mom passed away when I was 9, sometimes the hardest things are the little things... like having to ask your dad to take you to get your first bra. It's a loneliness that never goes completely, you just have to be thankful for the times that you have.
So much personal truth here. That's a hard thing to do and also a very generous thing to do--to speak your honest truth. Others can connect and be affected--I'm sure many will. If I were your family, I'd be really proud of you today.
👏💕🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🌞💕 so proud of you!!
You speak to my heart totally
.. I was thinking about this subject earlier this evening. My mom never toldy father she was pregnant with me. She was actually going to give me up for adoption, yet, decided to keep me! Respect for that. Altho the step father she married when I was 3, was a devil in disguise...
Totally true when you say .. what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
Part of me wants to do the ancestry DNA, part of me is afraid to.
Anyways! Excellent motivational video from you? You are such an amazing young man, both of you. Blessings & Joy to you both , & to your family!
You have an old head on young shoulders brother. Your morals and heart is in the right place.... one life love it and live it
I totally understand, I'm No Contact/NC with my mother and brother. Am I envious of those who have great relationships with their family? Yes. BUT, I also feel happy for them, I see how precious it is. I am very thankful for the family that I have created.
Wise beyond your years! How wonderful you teaching , hope, and forgiveness and to keep living a strong life!💪🏾💪🏾 💪🏾
Also, in my case, the father is in your life but never did anything with you and didn't raise you at all.
I’m a older woman here and grew up with out a father and he was around for my other siblings and my step siblings I lost a lot not having a father figure and wish I had memories.. lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
