What I lived is although I had both parents in the home, they can never take place of God's Love. My parents had flaws that impeded their ability to function in healthy mother and father roles. I thank God for Jesus, because of what he achieved at Calvary I am made whole. God is a Parent to me in ways no flesh can be.
😊 @LesLee.Inete2 WELLsaid/WELL received🎉❤🎉. Your comment resonates with MY soul❤. MY "Who-i-Am". Cont'2. KNOW that U are BEBLESSED❤By THEE❤VERY ❤BEST! BeBlessed Every1 and BeWELL ❤. Peace ✌️ ☮️
i have a daughter i couldn't imagine not being in her life. some people can carry grudges hate and resentment forever he's a lucky man to have a daughter that allows him to be in her life and don't hold his flaws over his head. wish them the best.
13:16 “He wasn’t ready to be a father when my mother got pregnant” Proper framing: “He wasn’t ready to be a father when he impregnated my mother”. He ran away from his responsibility. Abandoning your children is inexcusable.
The REALITY of the accountability that kollonized minds would hold her to if her maternal procreator were BLAQ: * "YOUR MOTHER CHOSE TO lay and procreate with a guy that wasn't ready to be a father, before she was prepared to raise a child". * Procreating with a guy when NEITHER OF YOU are equipped to parent, builds sociopaths and in fact, aligns with abandonment, in that sense -- but somehow, it's not perceived as "inexcuseable" abandonment when the babymama is hwyte.
I believe that’s why he told her his regrets, no one on this planet is without fault, his was being afraid, when he was needed to take responsibility, and be accountable for his actions….but there is always a second chance and I’m glad to see she did forgive his fault and let him in not only her life but her children life. We all have a lower self it is our mission in this realm to reach for higher self and live, think and do better
@jerilynmays133 , this right here! We must stop the necessity in our minds to be the changer of the narrative of others. We can not and must not be the judge and jury of the lives of others.
I went to High School with Her dad Craig. It's hard to watch his pain of regret and Alicia's missing piece. I'm glad they are working through it. - Valerie Jackson-Fullilove
Here, I am 57 years old, and I still rock with Ms. Key's till this day. I knew that she was special years ago, and now I understand her songs even more now than back then. Thank you, Ms. Alicia Keys, for being so raw, real, and transparent. Thank you to her parents for creating an amazing human being. I've never met her, but Alicia is one of the realists and honest souls I've ever seen. Continue being your natural authentic self, Queen 🙏🏾💜
Krucial definitely deserves this shout out. Alicia, you both hit the main stage & blessed the world with a sound unlike any other. 👑👑 Wishing the both of you continued healing.
Our brothers got to stop with the excuses and handle their business. U man enough to lay down and have sex, be man enough to stick around and raise what’s yours. It’s easy to show back up and show humility when your child is a successful multimillionaire .
There is truth in what you are saying. The thing is that it isn't that simple for some men. They have to be willing to do the work to be able to get right and actually be Good fathers.
I don't think I saw that particular video but I'll check it out now that you've referenced it. She's an incredibly rounded individual; it's no wonder she's immensely successful. There's just so much wisdom when she speaks.
@@oliviasbenson i wish that as well. my father and i were estranged my entire life. we both played a part in that, but the last conversation i had with him will haunt me forever
With a man, once he's hurt once, he's down for the count. A woman for the most part will keep trying. Vulnerability and respect as her father said is important in a relationship. Also, trust and love. Those ones who grew up without a father figure need to remember it has nothing to do with them. Everyone has issues including our parents.
So glad her and her dad have a better relationship, getting to know each other, creating new memories, and having those tuff emotional conversations. Now it’s about being apart of the grandkids life & keeping family close, he has a 2nd chance, a new chapter in their lives 🙏🏽
Her Mother deserves the highest honor, praise, and support because SHE raised this beautiful, smart, talented woman by herself! A strong white woman had to raise her mixed race child alone… same as Halle Berry, Drake, and Mariah Carey’s mothers 😢
I think the reason their fathers weren't present in their lives, not because they are black man; I believe the white family on their mothers side did not accept their black fathers like in former president Obama's history. You guys are already know the history of America. I'm so glad now she's finally reunited with her dad.
I’m glad they’re forgiving and journeying forward. I can’t help but wonder if Alicia was struggling economically and didn’t have a lavish lifestyle would he have tried to make amends? It’s always interested how most people duplicate the hurt in their life and pass it on to someone close to them😏
This was beautiful to watch and listen to Alicia Keys and her father. Fathers are important because they they are the other half of who we are, we can get loss, of not understanding why they were not there when we were born or our early years.
Glad she had the courage to speak about crucial and her dad. Many choose not to speak about things in our past that didn’t work out well. I’m a huge fan of her early work, but i believe she has the right to go in any direction she wants.
I remember the first time I saw Alicia Keys on Good Morning America. She was simply beautiful to me, a breath of fresh air. I recently saw her Broadway play that gave me a glimpse of her life and now this. I ❤the 🔑 that is unlocking the direction her musical talents are taking her and blessing us. #LovinU2Life ❤️
Applaud/Gratitude to Alicia Keys for forgiving her Father for his 'shortcoming(s)' of not being present in her Life. She took as him not being ready to be a Father when her mother was pregnant. He gets a second chance, she's an adult now but understands how important it is for her kids to know their Grandfather.
Beautiful story but she did Krucial wrong!!! It hurts to know that she allowed others to ruin their relationship. Wonder if she ever apologized to him? She made amends with her father; she owes Krucial at least an apology.
There's a lot of people that would have nothing to do with a father that abandoned them. Alicia is the bigger person and will likely always be in this relationship.
You're such a forgiving person your dad is so lucky to have a daughter like you who is understanding of his perspective and where he was in his life not ready for fatherhood. I hope her mom is also understanding.
Such soulful talent! Multitalented, beautiful woman! I love how at the end her voice relaxed me much like Billie Holliday! Jazzy and soulful, a smooth glass of wine, a bubble bath and a ‘J’ would set the mood off!
A Soul healing insight on so many levels. Thank you for uploading the video. I love to study and get to know the person behind the Artist and their live journey. There is so much life wisdom in their interviews or short/documentaries. I have experienced the same with Lenny Kravitz, Sade & Mary J. Blige. They all choose to remain Authentic and True to them selves and Not sell their soul to the Music Industry 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This made me just look into myself. I've been asking myself so many questions lately. Thank you to all that help put this together for providing perspective. ✨️
You are very fortunate to have the opportunity to work through your pain and get to a point of forgiveness, understanding and acceptance. I pray that you continue your journey with love, peace and infinite blessings.
As always they do after the mothers did it alone. They waited to see hoe life turned out and if it's great then here they come ready to reap what they didn't sow. God bless loving and caring mothers.
Right. He Didn't really even have a good reason. I mean his excuse was he didn't have or want a relationship with His Dad. Then he admits he should of been there for her and her mother 😕
Mama did do the hard work (like many), and she will have her own rewards. His failures seem to be part of his generational issues. As you can see, he is still suffering. Those are his consequences. I still give him credit because I know many men who would not do what he did in speaking, money or not.
Wow! I would like to say that it's beautiful to hear her story, I have a similar story, but I never got the opportunity to forgive my Father and now he's deceased for several years. The relationship between father & daughter is the blueprint for all relationships, I believe. I hope, I will some day heal. I'm 59... Thank you Mrs. Keys for sharing your journey and you're my Aqua mate 👸🏽✨🤍💛
Very cool production. I love how Alicia Keys has made a concerted effort to stay true to herself, a constant quest it seems. She didn't alter her face or body for Hollywood and broke the mold by going without makeup when she felt like it, among other things.
It's about forgiveness, being blessed and being a blessing to others. Our hearts, minds and spirits are not meant to hold onto and withstand pain indefinitely. Healing. Becoming Whole. Moving On. Moving Forward. Looking Upward. Letting God be God inside of you, allowing him to reside and abide in you.
It's sad Ms. Keys, father was missing in her life growing up, but had that not happened chances are there would never have been Alicia Keys, the superstar & musical global brand...
Matthew 6:12. We are obligated to forgive as we as imperfect people need forgiving too. God’s forgiveness is conditional. Forgiveness does not mean approval of what was done but gives the innocent one relief from the burden of holding a grudge ❤❤❤
She is a nice person. I love Alicia keys. Forgiveness is the Key to success. Let the hunger go to be able to bring good vibes and good energy in your life.I am glad that she chose forgiveness. God bless you Alicia keys.
Alicia you are a good example of the forgiveness of God. I greatly admire you and I am inspired by your strength, your inner beauty and pure love that is evident in your forgiveness.
This was more important to the world than you will ever know Alicia. We live in a society….a world of woman who are left to raise a child (children) alone. They did not make another human being alone. Even a sperm donor has to come from another human being. It takes two! lol. This conversation and experience from your life will open up dialogue for thousands. Thank you for opening up your personal journey before us and thus freeing others to be free in theirs. ❤
Wow, lovely slices of life. Thank you for sharing this answer to a many questions that had surrounding the life journey of the person behind the artist known as Alicia Keys. Viva emotional autonomy & freedom to allow the real answers to fall into one’s basket.
I miss my dad I didn’t have him in my life until I got older it was short he passed we didn’t get to get to know each other long but the short time was good enough for me
You are so amazingly talented and beautiful, and I am so thankful to have been able to follow you in my lifetime, I am 74 yrs now and for Fyi I Love you dearly. Nothing but Love and Blessings to you and family. God Bless Love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi I love you and always felt you watching you do this with your father is so mind blowing ur a deep woman and only people with feelings will understand ❤ valentine.
This is so beautiful. At least he was willing To a man things. He did came back into her life. And apologize. Many men don't come back in they kids life. Beautiful father and daughter. He's such a young man they have plenty time together.
YH bless her. She is an amt young woman! I love her. What ever happened to the young man? He really was pushed aside bc of their bond n they wanted to control her. I hope he’s well ❤😂🎉
My heart goes out to these two as they work to reconnect those tethered "Love Strings of Dad and Daughter" - Prayers for the "Arrival" and work hard before time wears either body to Death. 🙏
WOW...Truly an interesting, raw and emotional piece. Its wonderful to know that Alicia and her Dad are building a bridge towards each other. One based on mutual respect and sometimes painful love, but love nonetheless. I just hope that Krucial received the same consideration because other people separated this dynamic duo. I hope there's an olive 🫒 branch for Krucial too. Alicia, Thank you for sharing. Continue to open doors with your keys 🔑
the relationship with your father is so very important good for them GOD BLESS and have understanding while being open and honest no sugar coating get to all the real questions
This is a beautiful story. I’m glad that they are able to work it out her dad looks young.. I’m wondering if that played a factor did have her at a young age.?
I must say that a real father isn't just present, but they are PRESENT.... Sometimes ppl are so desperate to push and force men in the lives of their children. When in fact behind closed doors there is so much growing up for them to do too. If a person feels that they aren't ready to be there for another person it is most likely for the better of everyone (words are powerful and have meaning). Someone can't love another unless they come to love and understand themselves first.... Alicia Keys has still turned out into a fine human being-without the unnecessary strain and confusion which occur from bad relationships.
What a revelation....not that it's all so surprising though. Krucial was done very dirty. Alicia can tear up those keys, sure. But she broke hearts (Krucial, Mashonda) like it was nothing🫤
I love the fact that her skin is so clear and clean. It actually glows, It's so beautiful. And not a tatoo in sight. Why paint the peacock when its God given colored feathers are already radiant?
It’s so important to overstand that Alicia grew into the woman, artist, mother and wife she became growing up without her father, raised by her single mother. She wrote songs from pain, wrote sings from not having to be able to artistically contrast “the having”. Her life story sets the stage for her art.
