However, the revered man of God said he realised his flaws as he matured. He noticed that a void had been created but only one thing can fill it.

“Nothing can fill that void but the love of a father and it’s taken a lot of work to try and bridge that gap.”

Duncan-Williams’ advice to parents

Using his experience Archbishop Duncan-Williams said parents must make time for their children because they cannot be replaced.

He argued that one can replace the spouse but not the children they brought forth.

“I know you mean well and I know you love your kids and you got to provide for them. But in the midst of fighting for everything to provide for them make a little time every now and then to bond with them.”
“Because if you don’t bond with them there will come a time and there will be such a vacuum between you and them that it will take a lot to fill…Make time, connect with them right now because a time may come when it will be too late and it will only take divine intervention to bridge the gap.”
