I know someone who worked at a spot where she would see a lot of celebrity in person, she said Kelly was so beautiful in person the Cameras didn't do her Justice...she was awed. I have heard the same from other people since then... Said she was also nice, down to Earth and sweet too.
It’s so amazing to see Kelly turn into this prospering, beautiful woman. I can tell she’s the woman that she dreamed to be when she was just a shy teenager trying to find herself in the industry and the world. Her growth is so amazing 🥰
Life is so much more peaceful when we forgive. Even the ones who not ask for it or deserve it, forgive them anyway to keep that negativity and heaviness out of your heart. You don't have to deal with them though to forgive them...Be wise
Not everybody has that happy ending.. I met my mother after 53 yrs and she wanted nothing to do with me. She said, I was part of her past life and she doesn’t look back. She said she was happy, she raised 3 wonderful adults, married to her husband for 52 yrs and has 2 grandsons and an adopted granddaughter. I said ok and kept it moving..
Even though I was I was paying attention to everything that she was explaining, that’s all that I kept thinking to myself. Even the little smirk that she does resembles Beyonce’s
I'm glad they're in a better place. Kelly is absolutely beautiful and stunning & inside and out. This was really touching. And She's really doing a great hosting. Love to see her continue doing something like this.
My motto is I can forgive you but doesn’t mean you have to be in my life, my farther chooses to not acknowledge his kids because he do not want to face the hard answers. My mom always made sure to have us near him he barely showed up that is his lost
I always feel like kids shouldn’t have to chase down parents or be the ones to try to create a bond/relationship. Sometimes parents are just bad people. It’s their loss
@@Tabaitha_Elle Agreed. If I did not know my father - Unless my mother has prevented mr from knowing my father, or there is another very good reason for that's man's absence, I would not have the time of day for a father who p***ed off and got on with his life and then decides to be a parent, to myself, as an adult child - regardless of who initiates the reconnection. Useless fathers out there will think; why bother to be a responsible parent - both in terms of being around / available, developing a loving relationship with your child and providing financially, if the child will come and look for them when they are older and be craving their prescence, same way. Of course the absent father doesn't mind, as the hard work is out of the way and the parent may even benefit if the child has done well financially and is willing to support the aging parent. Anyway, it's a personal choice and no offence is intended towards anyone who feels differently. People have different tolerance and forgiveness thresholds !
@@Tabaitha_Elle Some parents were children themselves when they had children and had no guidance from their own parents it happens.. idk people just have to figure it out as they go along life. It's not easy but hey it is what it is
There is so much negative news being shared these days. We need more stories like these in the midst of all of this. Thank you Lord for healing this relationship before it was too late! ❤❤❤
Thank you LORD for the grace on their relationship. Remember this everyone forgiveness is not for them it is especially for you. In God's eyes. We all have trials and tribulations but we must and will keep going. Thank you Kelly for sharing your story. I never comment on Facebook but this hit me in my core. You wouldn't believe this but on our prayer line on today was about forgiveness. To God be the Glory!!! AMEN 😊
I long ago forgave my Dad but not interested in a relationship. Wish it could have been different but he made the decision to leave and every time I reached out he didn’t reach back so I just gave up. It’s his loss because he missed out on me, I’m phenomenal. 😄 He also missed out on my Son he is a beautiful reflection of love. He is in his 90’s and also missing out on being spoiled by me. If my Mommy was still alive she would be wanting for nothing. Blessings to Kelly’s reunion with her Dad it is beautiful.
I’m so happy for you! A relationship with your father would’ve been great but it didn’t happen. You became a phenomenal woman without him and you’ll continue to be a phenomenal woman❤️❤️❤️
I know she’s doing her best, but I truly hate men like this. Your child left the state and you didn’t know for four years? You didn’t care if your child was alive, eating, going to school, getting abused? Do you know how cold and wicked you have to be to abandon your child? Side note: Kelly is such a pretty lady.
You totally missed kelly's point. He is a human being BEFORE he was a father. You don't magically become what a father is "supposed to be " the day a kid is born. You don't know anything about this man, his circumstances, his abilities, his obstacles, his mental state, etc. It doesn't make him wicked. We are all HUMAN BEINGS. Don't judge unless you're in his shoes
Right and he didn’t know because he wasn’t even checking up on his child. He said it like somebody was supposed to let him know even though he showed no interest.
i think that's the reason she always looks radiant . But damn though, we really need to do better with our kids. sheesh ! when you help conceive someone, your life HAS to change. Kelly and Beyonce are voice twins . they sound exactly alike to my years down the cadence of the speech.
Kelly is so GORGEOUS. And with a beautiful soul inside and out. Love the way she stays away from negativity and negative people. Wishing her the best and much more success and happiness. And blessings to Kelly and her entire family.💖✌
You can tell by the look in her eyes and the energy of her touching him. There's a piece of heart is healing. I went almost 15yrs of not speaking to my father. I'm so blessed now he's my best friend. Like her we didn't reconnect until after my mother died. She would always tell me. "I don't care what you're going through. He's still your father and don't you ever forget it. Do you hear me?" My reply always was "Yes ma'am".
This situation is so true and real to me. I’m so glad I loved my Dad beyond his abandonment of me and my mother for another family. I ended up supporting him in the end more than the family he left us for. When I first heard my dad say he loved me at 33 years old, I broke down and cried.
One thing I learned from being angry and hurt by my parents is that if I was sure of anything, it is that I had to extend compassion.

Giving parents grace is a must for both parties.
I’ve always loved Kelly’s openness and vulnerability. She’s my favourite DC member of all time (sorry Beyoncé, it’s nothing personal). I’m glad she decided to forgive her father and allow him into her life. Some folks never get that opportunity.
My mom passed away few weeks before I graduated high school. When my dad passed 18 years later, it really broke my heart because I felt at that moment the two people who created me were no longer here with me to validate my being.
@@Kim-Berly200 Hi Kim,thank you 💕 When my mom passed without seeing me graduate, I was jealous of my older siblings and angry with God for a while until I matured in this life.
I had the same situation, but my father passed away and by that time I didn’t see him for 35 years and we lived in the same state. It’s hard to deal with because I am thinking he didn’t care if I ate, had a roof over my head, or even just if I was ok. He had others that he cared for over those years, but I was not one of them. Forgiveness is needed, but it’s hard.
Sharon my heart goes out to you and the many others that struggle with the same. Try to find some forgiveness and closure, Don't carry the burden, Yes it's hard. But try to Let it go...
my parents grew up together. they were always battling about who was going to keep me. but daddy was never so far away that you could not call or get in touch. no matter where we went, he would either call or show up. when i lived with his mother, he would come down (from massachusetts to north carolina) in the summer. i could not imagine not doing everything in your power to be there for your own child.
That’s the part that he would need to explain. WHY didn’t he fight to be a part of her life. Forgiveness is for one’s own salvation. So, always forgive. But, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to your space and time. I wouldn’t want to hear anything about what anyone else said or did. It’s about what he didn’t do. Taking responsibility for his actions or lack there of. Why did he wait until she was touring to pursue her? Did he not think that his little girl needed him growing up…
Just a reminder that’s it’s still possible to re establish your relationship with your parents even as you get older. I absolutely love stories like this. ❤️
A person who forgives is stronger than one who doesn’t, forgiveness is strength and a pure sign that one(who forgives) sees beyond what went wrong but they’d rather make things right. Forgiveness is also a pure sign of humility. Just like a person who apologies goes on to show that they would rather want for things to be better for everyone, not just themselves. That’s my take!
Wow! Such a powerful testimony. I had that similar experience. And connecting with father helped me to heal the little girl in me and it helped me to complete my identity as a woman and a person, because he was the seed that I came from. We became like best friends. I lost him in 2021 & my heart was broken but there is not one regret I have for reuniting with him and hearing his side of the story and walking in forgiveness towards him and becoming a daddy’s girl. When he called I’d go from 55 to 5 and I Will always be His Little Girl. I love you daddy and miss you sooo much🥲🥲🥲
I love seeing this Kelly. I love your stregnth and beautiful, calming and realistic way you articulate with such care understanding. I pray God gives you and your dad many blessed years together as a family with you, your husband and sons. God Bless you all.
Beautiful. This just goes to teach us that we don't know what people are struggling with and suffering from. Congratulations on reuniting with your dad, Kelli, and I offer condolences on the loss of your beautiful mother.
This was so sweet!!! Love covers a multitude of sins and I believe God sets this as the highest and sweetest deed to extend because of its POWER! God bless the rest of their days!
Kelly, is love, strength,courage and resilient. I'm happy for them. This is their time. It's not about the past. It's great to see them moving forward. I wish them nothing but the best of the best.
He probably would have been ready if he knew that you were going to be an international superstar and a successful millionaire. That would have made him ready real quick.
So powerful Kelly. U look so beautiful & don’t give him too much money now that ur rich baby. Let him make his money how he’s been doing the past 30 years….
What does money 💰 have to do with it? It's HER pockets and if she wants to take care of her father that's on her honor your mother & father or your days will be numbered!💯
Damn Kelly is pretty AF! Like holy crap! Omg! Side note: we really do make excuses for the poor behavior of our parents. But I guess we have no choice but to forgive them.
I felt this I was raised by my mother and father and my relationship with my mother is difficult. But I discovered during the pandemic I had to give my mother grace. It’s hard but I needed that realization.
I’m glad she got to know her father before it was too late. It’s really sad when mothers lie and destroy their kids opportunity to have their fathers love because too often women don’t get that because he doesn’t love her doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his child!
Who said the mother lied? The man that didn't come around, or go to the courts, didn't even know she was out of state until 4yrs later so that should tell you he wasn't in her life regularly, didn't search for her for 30 plus years (Outside of after she became famous at concerts)? Stop slandering a deceased persons reputation. The mother is not here to respond to this man's claims.
I’m not crying… you’re crying! 😭😭😭 This really touched me. Kelly has always been a star to me, but she has really come into her zone lately. They need to make her a permanent cohost!!
I've been listening too every word Kelly said ,but I can't ignore the fact that I hear beyoncéeeeeeeee ,and it's cute ,Kelly we are proud of you ,you doing good girl🥰
Just beautiful how they bonding. I'm glad I saw my dad before he died. I wish my sister could have forgiven our father before he died. I just Love her spirit ❤
Beautiful story. Moral principle to be learned from their experiences. Forgiveness is the key to us getting on as fellow humans. An unforgiving attitude kills the soul and the spirit. God is love. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My mother raised 6 children all by herself, our father never was in our lives, I finally met him about 22 years later and he didn't say nothing to me and walked out of the room. I love my mother, R.I.P
I did not know Kelly was a child of parental alienation. Im glad they found a bond. Please keep an open heart for parents when one parent tells you their ex doesn't care about you. Just imagine the number of years, events and memories that were missed. Glad they didnt let life end without resolution.
@Day Actually Kelly confirmed her mother's handling of the situation. Kelly was under the impression she didnt need a dad when she was younger and a child does not arrive by that conclusion alone.
Ms Brown you seem to be an awesome & wise person! I am experiencing this issue presently. I raised my daughter & went through a divorce when she was 17 yrs old and she wants nothing to do with me! We have 0 communication & haven't spoken in over 6 or 7 years!
@Day I love the last part: the one who stayed. I can almost guarantee that he is giving HIS version that keeps him from being accountable. He’s lying IMO. He didn’t know that his daughter moved for four years? So he didn’t care if his child ate, went to school, was getting abused, was hurt?
@Day Something isn’t right. I think she has just moved on to the point where she just wants a relationship and doesn’t care to be rational. He’s full of shit.
My daughter who I now 40 father did the same thing everything was very good until I left him when she was 3 yrs old he stop supporting her..he got very bitter n held grudge because I left him my daughter reunited with him when she was 17 n he lied on me but my daughter was smart enough to know that he was lying and she got on his ass and told him don't you dear lie on my mom and he started to cry..these men will lie just to make to mother look bad when they was the problem a father who loves his kid/kids would walk the last end of the earth to find them they are all liars..and yet still they would take up a woman with kids n take care of another man's kid..oh please
I can relate and so many ways to Kelly story and the abandonment issue. My father who I had never met and only spoke to once in my life. Passed away last year, and I were left feeling like that missing piece will never have the proper closure. I say all that to say that don't let time run out in order to get it right. Time waits for no man.
@@user-ep7fu1rv7r How do you know he didn't? That's my point. He even followed Kelly around but her security wouldn't let him because her mom poisoned her mind about her father. I'm sure Kelly finally realized most of what she heard about her dad was false that's why it was easy for her to forgive him easily.
Thank u Kelly.i did not know what led me to this channel of ur fathers story but it touched me alot.I have a father whom I have not related to for as much as I can remember and am over 40years now and I feel lonely and sorrowful each time maybe is time to forgive and let go and reconcile with my father before he pass on and I wont have the chance to tell him what and how i feel.To wrong is human but to forgive is divine and liberating.I feel am in bondage and pain and same time suffocating and part of me dead for not getting it right with my dad.Therefore thank u very much .God bless you .Jonny
You're such a 'special' person, Kelly!!👏🏾👏🏾 You're so emotive and compassionate!! God bless your beautiful heart!! Wishing you and family all the blessings in your lives!! I pray that your story will be an inspiration to others to forgive and let go of hurt!!💕💯
I always adored you for so many different reasons and ofcourse your beauty since the Destiny's child and you was always my favorite girl of all.You are an angel and you are so phenomenal because all you had at times was just you and look at you today.I'am so proud of you and I'am so so glad you reconnected with your dad.You are my very favorite girl in this whole world.You go girl
No offense but there are loads of kids that didn’t have a dad that are great dads there is never any excuse for abandonment, but there is always room for forgiveness.
She's got a big heart because she making excuses for him. Soo what if he didn't have a dad In his life, he should have stepped up be a man a father to her. Same way she broke the curse he should have. Truth is most of us don't know how to be good parents but when you bring life into this world you better be the best Parent for that little bring you created that NEEDS YOU,?!. IDK MAN....I WOULD NOT FORGIVE THAT
She’s not making excuses for him. She’s simply just pointing out that a lot of people don’t know how to move on from generational curses because that’s all they know. They don’t seek out the resources and tools that can help them grow into better individuals and parents. A lot of them want to, but they don’t know where to start. She can sit there and blame everything on him, she can sit there and hold hate in her heart forever because of him not being present. But why do that when you can try the other option of giving that bond a risky try and hoping and praying that he can be man enough to admit and right his wrongs? If it don’t succeed, at-least she can say she tried.
This may not be just a generational curse she said that his fathers before him have the same issues their father didn't raise them this is a issue from slavery u have to understand that mindset that still exists today nobody ever talk about it but there are some issues in the DNA of the black culture that runs from slavery still living today even if u are "successful " in the land of ur captivity they were not allowed to claim or raise their own seed that came from them this is why we are not to judge anyone on certain matters I attempt to listen and learn I don't always understand or agree but I'm very familiar with what it feels like not to have ur Father in ur life.
@@amsegulah6033 aftermath of slavery can result in generational curses. When people never learn from their parents or the ones they were around, it can be hard to break every chain. Kelly knows the risks she’s taking. But I don’t think it’s healthy for an individual to forgive but still hold resentment. And the other commenters are still focused on “well he wasn’t there” or “he wouldn’t care if she wasn’t famous”. They don’t know that. That’s not even true forgiveness. If Kelly thought like that (which I’m sure those thoughts ran through her head), she wouldn’t be glowing the way she is now. Sometimes people deserve second chances.
God bless you Kelly for forgiving your dad and may you both grow together and create beautiful memories . My dad passed away and I'd do anything to have him back , just to hold his hand and tell him how much I love him .🙏💯☮️🖤💛❤️🇦🇺
What an extreme amount of grace she has given him. Forgiveness is key to releasing that pain .

I love your comment. Very classy.💖✌
This! She’s such inspiration! 🌹🥰♥️
Kelly has always been a beautiful girl, she IMO is the better singer, but she did not get the props b/c of that so called lead singer and her dad.
So happy to see this, Kelly being a mom herself. She was able to put her feelings aside and think of her children missing out. Such a class act...
This is going to help so many people. The way she called him “daddy” at the end was heartwarming. Good for them.
Life is so much more peaceful when we forgive. Even the ones who not ask for it or deserve it, forgive them anyway to keep that negativity and heaviness out of your heart. You don't have to deal with them though to forgive them...Be wise

my parents grew up together. they were always battling about who was going to keep me. but daddy was never so far away that you could not call or get in touch. no matter where we went, he would either call or show up. when i lived with his mother, he would come down (from massachusetts to north carolina) in the summer. i could not imagine not doing everything in your power to be there for your own child.
That’s the part that he would need to explain. WHY didn’t he fight to be a part of her life. Forgiveness is for one’s own salvation. So, always forgive. But, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to your space and time. I wouldn’t want to hear anything about what anyone else said or did. It’s about what he didn’t do. Taking responsibility for his actions or lack there of. Why did he wait until she was touring to pursue her? Did he not think that his little girl needed him growing up…
Exaaaaactly there is no excuse
And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.
Just a reminder that’s it’s still possible to re establish your relationship with your parents even as you get older.
I absolutely love stories like this. ❤️
Beautiful story, Kelly is beautiful inside out, at the end of the day we all need to forget in order to move on with a healthy life💕👌🏾
I’m so happy for Kelly she deserves the best and the pure love the world can offer her!
Story will be so powerful for so many people. Thanks Kelly for sharing
A person who forgives is stronger than one who doesn’t, forgiveness is strength and a pure sign that one(who forgives) sees beyond what went wrong but they’d rather make things right. Forgiveness is also a pure sign of humility. Just like a person who apologies goes on to show that they would rather want for things to be better for everyone, not just themselves. That’s my take!
Wow! Such a powerful testimony. I had that similar experience. And connecting with father helped me to heal the little girl in me and it helped me to complete my identity as a woman and a person, because he was the seed that I came from. We became like best friends. I lost him in 2021 & my heart was broken but there is not one regret I have for reuniting with him and hearing his side of the story and walking in forgiveness towards him and becoming a daddy’s girl. When he called I’d go from 55 to 5 and I Will always be His Little Girl. I love you daddy and miss you sooo much🥲🥲🥲
I love seeing this Kelly. I love your stregnth and beautiful, calming and realistic way you articulate with such care understanding. I pray God gives you and your dad many blessed years together as a family with you, your husband and sons. God Bless you all.
Great story of family and love
And Kelly is gorgeous and is such a beautiful spirit
Beautiful. This just goes to teach us that we don't know what people are struggling with and suffering from. Congratulations on reuniting with your dad, Kelli, and I offer condolences on the loss of your beautiful mother.
I love Kelly Rowland ❤️ wish her nothing but blessings
This was so sweet!!! Love covers a multitude of sins and I believe God sets this as the highest and sweetest deed to extend because of its POWER! God bless the rest of their days!
Kelly, is love, strength,courage and resilient. I'm happy for them. This is their time. It's not about the past. It's great to see them moving forward. I wish them nothing but the best of the best.
He probably would have been ready if he knew that you were going to be an international superstar and a successful millionaire. That would have made him ready real quick.
Exactly......."not ready" my azz.🙄
So glad someone said it!!!!
Exactly lol
@@dr.t5782 well I tell the truth I tell it like it is. Idky the ppl in the comments is acting that way
Notice that’s when he came looking for her…at her concerts 😐
So powerful Kelly. U look so beautiful & don’t give him too much money now that ur rich baby. Let him make his money how he’s been doing the past 30 years….
Yes she cant take her $$ with her. Share your riches with loved ones
What does money 💰 have to do with it? It's HER pockets and if she wants to take care of her father that's on her honor your mother & father or your days will be numbered!💯
Who are you to tell her what to do with her money? People like you think everything is about money smh
@I Am Retired Do you not know how much of a leech this makes you look? Lmaooo
Agreed! You never know why “family” is trying to get close to you.
She is gorgeous I ADORE HER
She gets it! Very emotionally intelligent!
These darn onions, and I don't even like onions! Why am I cutting them? 😢😢😢 I love this woman, her heart is so pure!
I'm 34 now and my father is just coming in my life now 😭😭
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
sad
Sending you an online hug💜
This was so beautiful to watch and it resonates so much!
Damn Kelly is pretty AF! Like holy crap! Omg! Side note: we really do make excuses for the poor behavior of our parents. But I guess we have no choice but to forgive them.
God freely forgives us despite all our poor behavior and excuses.
@@DC-pp8xf I think humans made that up. It’s humans that choose to forgive or you forgiving yourself. Because who is GOD? Where is God at?
@@DC-pp8xf Amen!! Truth❤💯💯🙏
I am so thankful Kelly shared her journey to forgiveness with all of us. What a beautiful moment between father and daughter!
I felt this I was raised by my mother and father and my relationship with my mother is difficult. But I discovered during the pandemic I had to give my mother grace. It’s hard but I needed that realization.
I’m glad she got to know her father before it was too late. It’s really sad when mothers lie and destroy their kids opportunity to have their fathers love because too often women don’t get that because he doesn’t love her doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his child!
Who said the mother lied? The man that didn't come around, or go to the courts, didn't even know she was out of state until 4yrs later so that should tell you he wasn't in her life regularly, didn't search for her for 30 plus years (Outside of after she became famous at concerts)? Stop slandering a deceased persons reputation. The mother is not here to respond to this man's claims.
Wow Kelly is so darn intelligent. I could watch her speak all day
Grace..beautiful Kelly
Edit. Production did a wonderful job maintaining the humanness of the people
She is so beautiful inside and out!
I’m not crying… you’re crying! 😭😭😭
This really touched me. Kelly has always been a star to me, but she has really come into her zone lately. They need to make her a permanent cohost!!
❤️❤️ “how can one know how to do something if one wasn’t taught”… we have to give our parents grace.. this really resonated with me.
I've been listening too every word Kelly said ,but I can't ignore the fact that I hear beyoncéeeeeeeee ,and it's cute ,Kelly we are proud of you ,you doing good girl🥰
Kelly is soooooo beautiful and knows how to word things where she’s clear and not offensive.
Kelly, is a first class lady ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just beautiful how they bonding. I'm glad I saw my dad before he died. I wish my sister could have forgiven our father before he died. I just Love her spirit ❤
Beautiful story. Moral principle to be learned from their experiences. Forgiveness is the key to us getting on as fellow humans. An unforgiving attitude kills the soul and the spirit. God is love. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My mother raised 6 children all by herself, our father never was in our lives, I finally met him about 22 years later and he didn't say nothing to me and walked out of the room. I love my mother, R.I.P
😞
She is soooo beautiful
Kelly is Beautiful!!!
I did not know Kelly was a child of parental alienation. Im glad they found a bond. Please keep an open heart for parents when one parent tells you their ex doesn't care about you. Just imagine the number of years, events and memories that were missed. Glad they didnt let life end without resolution.
@Day Actually Kelly confirmed her mother's handling of the situation. Kelly was under the impression she didnt need a dad when she was younger and a child does not arrive by that conclusion alone.
Ms Brown you seem to be an awesome & wise person! I am experiencing this issue presently. I raised my daughter & went through a divorce when she was 17 yrs old and she wants nothing to do with me! We have 0 communication & haven't spoken in over 6 or 7 years!
@Day I love the last part: the one who stayed. I can almost guarantee that he is giving HIS version that keeps him from being accountable. He’s lying IMO. He didn’t know that his daughter moved for four years? So he didn’t care if his child ate, went to school, was getting abused, was hurt?
@Day Something isn’t right. I think she has just moved on to the point where she just wants a relationship and doesn’t care to be rational. He’s full of shit.
My daughter who I now 40 father did the same thing everything was very good until I left him when she was 3 yrs old he stop supporting her..he got very bitter n held grudge because I left him my daughter reunited with him when she was 17 n he lied on me but my daughter was smart enough to know that he was lying and she got on his ass and told him don't you dear lie on my mom and he started to cry..these men will lie just to make to mother look bad when they was the problem a father who loves his kid/kids would walk the last end of the earth to find them they are all liars..and yet still they would take up a woman with kids n take care of another man's kid..oh please
Kelly Rowland is music ROYALTY. She’s so poised and vulnerable and honest. Love her so much!
I can relate and so many ways to Kelly story and the abandonment issue. My father who I had never met and only spoke to once in my life. Passed away last year, and I were left feeling like that missing piece will never have the proper closure. I say all that to say that don't let time run out in order to get it right. Time waits for no man.
This has made me realize that it's very impactful in a child's life to get to know the absent parent...
I love her! She is so beautiful and graceful.
Thank you for this segment....I SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH NEEDED THIS 🙏🏿❤️
This was beautiful, Kelly has a beautiful Soul!
Thank you for sharing your story Kelly. Your a beautiful sister. May God bless you always.
There are not many people who learn this life lesson, wow!! Congrats!!
This beautiful woman deserves the best. Blessings to you Kelly Roland and to her Father. May you enjoy each other’s company for many years to come.
So beautiful. I’m so happy for them.
“If they’re not ready, that’s ok, set yourself free from that.” A word.❤️
Men, we have to do better. You cannot leave your child!!! I don’t care what the reason is.
How do you know he didn't try to get in her life? Maybe Kelly's mom was the problem
@@Ben2bwild so???
@@user-ep7fu1rv7r so what? 🤔
@@Ben2bwild Even if the mother was an evil witch how can you not fight for your children?? Get the law involved?
@@user-ep7fu1rv7r How do you know he didn't? That's my point. He even followed Kelly around but her security wouldn't let him because her mom poisoned her mind about her father. I'm sure Kelly finally realized most of what she heard about her dad was false that's why it was easy for her to forgive him easily.
Thank u Kelly.i did not know what led me to this channel of ur fathers story but it touched me alot.I have a father whom I have not related to for as much as I can remember and am over 40years now and I feel lonely and sorrowful each time maybe is time to forgive and let go and reconcile with my father before he pass on and I wont have the chance to tell him what and how i feel.To wrong is human but to forgive is divine and liberating.I feel am in bondage and pain and same time suffocating and part of me dead for not getting it right with my dad.Therefore thank u very much .God bless you .Jonny
Happy for her. 🙏🏽
What Beautiful Soul Kelly Rowland ND her Dad, Awesome Video
You don't have to be taught to be in someone's life
Exactly 💯
Exactly, absent fathers always get away.
You're such a 'special' person, Kelly!!👏🏾👏🏾
You're so emotive and compassionate!!
God bless your beautiful heart!!
Wishing you and family all the blessings in your lives!!
I pray that your story will be an inspiration to others to forgive and let go of hurt!!💕💯
I always adored you for so many different reasons and ofcourse your beauty since the Destiny's child and you was always my favorite girl of all.You are an angel and you are so phenomenal because all you had at times was just you and look at you today.I'am so proud of you and I'am so so glad you reconnected with your dad.You are my very favorite girl in this whole world.You go girl
It's Never To Late To Mend Broken Fences....Good Luck You Guys...This Is Beautiful....
Watching for 2 seconds.. already amazing gracefull!! 💜💜 can t wait now to see it all
Kelly Rolland is naturally beautiful & it's heartwarming to see her reconciled with her dad thnq God for her inner beauty✌️.........🍁
No offense but there are loads of kids that didn’t have a dad that are great dads there is never any excuse for abandonment, but there is always room for forgiveness.
@Day Well said! Men always make excuses but abandoning innocent kids is inexcusable!
@Day That is not true in the slightest. If a women wants to take the kid and hide out they can do it without impunity.
Beautiful Story, with a Happy Ending. I felt the genuine and pure love in them both.💜

This is so beautiful. Kelly really missed her dad.
Am i the only one crying chile? 🥺😭
Oh no 😭
@@kimleacw1 no we all did.
Nope...😪😪😪
She's got a big heart because she making excuses for him. Soo what if he didn't have a dad In his life, he should have stepped up be a man a father to her. Same way she broke the curse he should have. Truth is most of us don't know how to be good parents but when you bring life into this world you better be the best Parent for that little bring you created that NEEDS YOU,?!. IDK MAN....I WOULD NOT FORGIVE THAT
She’s not making excuses for him. She’s simply just pointing out that a lot of people don’t know how to move on from generational curses because that’s all they know. They don’t seek out the resources and tools that can help them grow into better individuals and parents. A lot of them want to, but they don’t know where to start. She can sit there and blame everything on him, she can sit there and hold hate in her heart forever because of him not being present. But why do that when you can try the other option of giving that bond a risky try and hoping and praying that he can be man enough to admit and right his wrongs? If it don’t succeed, at-least she can say she tried.
Period. I highly doubt he'd be sad about not being in her life if she wasn't famous
@@MistriiiMusic I was thinking the same thing and looking for a comment like this
This may not be just a generational curse she said that his fathers before him have the same issues their father didn't raise them this is a issue from slavery u have to understand that mindset that still exists today nobody ever talk about it but there are some issues in the DNA of the black culture that runs from slavery still living today even if u are "successful " in the land of ur captivity they were not allowed to claim or raise their own seed that came from them this is why we are not to judge anyone on certain matters I attempt to listen and learn I don't always understand or agree but I'm very familiar with what it feels like not to have ur Father in ur life.
@@amsegulah6033 aftermath of slavery can result in generational curses. When people never learn from their parents or the ones they were around, it can be hard to break every chain. Kelly knows the risks she’s taking. But I don’t think it’s healthy for an individual to forgive but still hold resentment. And the other commenters are still focused on “well he wasn’t there” or “he wouldn’t care if she wasn’t famous”. They don’t know that. That’s not even true forgiveness. If Kelly thought like that (which I’m sure those thoughts ran through her head), she wouldn’t be glowing the way she is now. Sometimes people deserve second chances.
God bless you Kelly for forgiving your dad and may you both grow together and create beautiful memories . My dad passed away and I'd do anything to have him back , just to hold his hand and tell him how much I love him .🙏💯☮️🖤💛❤️🇦🇺
