Awwww Jen
I thought that was lovely. Absolutely fantastic. Almost brought a tear to my eyes.
I have my daughter here with me until Tuesday and I'm happy as larry..... and if you're wondering who larry is......... dont ask me, I haven't a fecking clue!!
any bugger can be a father........
not every man can be a daddy!!!!
it takes a special person to be a daddy..........for all those of u that dont get to see ur kids thru no fault of ur own...i am sorry
ahhh that was sweet, and yes it is nice to see dads posting
like lil miss said not all are the same
my ex sees my 2 boys once a month but thats only cause i drive 120 mile round trip to take them, he doesnt bother phoning through the month to see how they are either, the thing is they are 14 and 12 and now even when their dad wants them they do not always want to go and see him, cant help thinking this is hs own doing.
luckily im with someone new and he is great with them, we have his 2 boys nearly every weekend, when his ex isnt doing anything with them
Very nice Libra+Love
I think if every father would take the responsibilities for his kids, there would be a lot less
trouble in this world.
If you really want a fail-safe way to move a dad to tears, try reading the beautiful 'Waking with Russell' by Don Paterson.

Waking with Russell
Whatever the difference is, it all began
the day we woke up face-to-face like lovers
and his four-day-old smile dawned on him again,
possessed him, till it would not fall or waver;
and I pitched back not my old hard-pressed grin
but his own smile, or one I'd rediscovered.
Dear son, I was mezzo del cammin
and the true path was as lost to me as ever
when you cut in front and lit it as you ran.
See how the true gift never leaves the giver:
returned and redelivered, it rolled on
until the smile poured through us like a river.
How fine, I thought, this waking amongst men!
I kissed your mouth and pledged myself forever.

I used to make a 40 mile round trip every Friday to pick up my two daughters when they were little now i make it to give them their pocket money even though they are 18 & 16 years old.
Me and the ex still don`t really talk much but she has never tried to stop me from seeing my girls, i have always paid my dues and at Christmas i would buy presents for my kids from their mother to help her out.
Well i type this thru welled up eyes and a running nose, brilliant Libra, not only because i miss my kids alot but because i can remember times i had with my dad like that that my kids will miss out on with me.
