Her father's 50th birthday was yesterday.



Backstory

Not sure if I should post this under "Dads" or "Love & Heartbreak" since he isn't anywhere near her life. But I still can't forget when the day comes. He was born. He grew. We met. We loved. He left. She came. She grows. He ages.

Sagacious says,

I think I caught all that. Does he have contact?

lillybrook says,

Not anymore. For a little while, he was visiting her regularly, but then last year (about this time, actually) he stopped.

lillybrook says,

Sag - any updates with your daughter?

Sagacious says,

Sadly not. She'll come when she's ready- if she's ever ready.

lillybrook says,

I am sorry to hear that.

Sagacious says,

In certain respects, I feel kinda lucky. At least I found, have images of, and have learned a bit about her, even if it took more than 22 years for that to happen. So many people in a similar situation aren't so fortunate. I feel for them.
