Title: I have had the best thing ever happen today
Post by: LFF64 on 12 October 2007, 22:41:46
Hello all I know that winning the lottery jackpot would be great news  ;) But what has happened to me today is so much better  :o I have a 17 year old daughter yes I am that old I last saw her 14 years ago on her third birthday and have had no contact at all since that day ,but she has always been in my heart each and every day . And today 14years 3 months 5days later she has sent a letter to my parents house asking to make contact with me  :o I have been waiting for this day for so long . I really could not think of anything ever I have ever wanted so much .

Once a proud dad, always a proud dad. In your situation, I'd be blubbering buckets.  ;)

That is absolutely bloody fantastic...

I expect, now she's at a more mature age, she'll realise what a nice guy her dad is and you will have a permanent contact...

Good stuff mate, and very best wishes :)

WOW, how about that? I bet you're laughing & crying at the same time. I did'nt see my son from 1 to 5 years old & thought i never would. You think all sorts of things like if i saw him somewhere i would'nt even recognise him, that's a killer. Then out of the blue his Mum gave me custody & i was a single Dad!
   He's 22 now & 6ft tall so i ca'nt bollock him any more!! You've put a lump in my throat & cheered me up in one go, i'm sure we're all behind you. :y
      Lastly, to anyone else missing their children some of us DO understand how much it hurts but hang on in there, you never expect the unexpected, i did'nt.

It brought a lump to my throat and a big cheesy grin to my face to read
your story, LFF64.

I'm so pleased for both of you. Daughters may be Daddies girls, but by god
they can't half twist you round their little fingers, (tell me about it.)  ;)
Your life has just changed forever, mate.  ;D
But in plenty of good ways!!  :)

Post by: bob.dent on 15 October 2007, 17:13:45
A truly heartwarming story :y :y It must be such a sad, strange thing to have not seen your daughter since she was 3 years old and then to meet her again when she's a teenager. My 2 sons were 8 and 11 when me and my ex-wife divorced but I still managed to keep in regular contact with them, but I can't begin to imagine what it's been like in your circumstances.
I sincerely hope it's the new beginning of a wonderful father/daughter relationship. :)

I pity any prospective boyfriends that she takes to meet daddy.

Very happy for both of you. I have 2 kids and know how hard it is looking after them having them around. I can only imagine it being even harder NOT having them around.

Make the most of every day with your children thats what i say.

The loss of a child through Divorce or split up of a couple, is very traumatising.

I too have been fighting for many years to try and get permission to see my daughter.

This Result gives me hope that perhaps i too, will one day be able to hold her in my arms.

I am very pleased and moved by the news that the good times have finally come your way.

Yes this was all down to Roxanne x us getting back together x I know she cant see this but Roxanne I love you always have always will x Sorry everyone but I am still a bit overcome by whats happened as I have said your support and kind words are amazing  :y
I am surprised also by how many of us seem to be in a similar situation regarding children I now 14 years is a long time but any amount of time is not good for anyone .all I can say is never ever give up hope like I was about too you just never know whats around the corner Right thats it now typing with one finger and wet eyes is not easy  :-[ Thanks again everyone  ;)

 :)That's a heartwarming picture. Try to leave the past behind now because you've both got everything to look forward to. As i said before i've been in your shoes & it's enough to bring the biggest man to his knees. You've got eachother for life now so you can settle into being the proud Dad it seems you always deserved to be.
     Do'nt spoil her too much (of course you will)! And god knows what she makes of us lot!!!
