myLot Discussions| ~ Our Journey~ | | We all have them. Regardless of whether they're present in our lives, or absent, we have them. We also have that yearning for affection from our fathers. The time spent with "Dad, Daddy, Father, Pop, Papa," is very precious to us. Somehow, I never knew how precious it could really be, until 4 yrs ago.....I have loved my dad every since I first met him, birth, duh!:) As a family, we did everything together. But when it was just me and daddy, I felt so loved, and adored. He used to pick me up from school and take me back to work with him. I loved it so much.:) He'd always try and get me to tell his co-workers how much I loved him, I'd just smile and hide my face in his shoulder! When we got away from them, I'd smile real big and say, "Daddy I love you sooooo much!!"

| | My one and only child turns 18 tomorrow..... | | My daughter turns 18 tomorrow. She came into this world 2 months prematurely and weighed only 2 pounds and 14 ounces. She stayed in the hospital for not quite two months. She was perfect in every way just small.
When she was 5 years old her dad and I divorced and soon after that he had another child with his new wife another daughter and he saw our daughter less and less. Then a little over a year after that they had another child and it was a boy and he did not see our daughter for 3 years. This all hurt her very much. Then he waltzed back in to her life like nothing had happened and visited her sporadically for the next 4 years till we moved to FL then she saw him once a year. A handful of letters (like 5 in 3 years) and one birthday package that contained stuff she had left on her last visit and a used Handheld Video game his kids no longer wanted.
Tomorrow is her birthday and I am trying to make it as nice as I can since he quit his job and she no longer has the child support that she was going to spend on much needed clothes and a trip to the mall. She was going to save each check for her trip to the mall so she could shop the clearance... | |
