I have waited 12 years for today...

After finishing work tonight, I thought I would stay for a beer...

Sat in the beer garden talking to a few friends when this young couple walk in - they sit down and start to join in our conversation.

 

All this time, I am thinking that the girl looks soooo familiar - I ask her what her name is, she says "Kat"

 

Short for Katherine I ask - yes.

Is your middle name *** - yes.

Your mother is called ***** - yes.

Your dad is called **** - yes, but he is my stepdad.

You live in ******* - yes.

 

Do you know your real dads name - yes, and gives me a name....

 

Guess what - she is my daughter that I have not seen for 12 years :shock:

 

It turns out her mother has been trying to trace me, for Katherines sake, but never found me, then, by a random coincidence, she walks into the place where I work....

 

I nearly had a sodding coronary !

 

Mind you, she looked a bit surprised as well, lol.

 

Anyway, it was time for her to go home, so numbers were exchanged, and she is coming to see me tomorrow - assuming the shock has worn off !

 

I waited 12 years for tonight, but never expected it would happen.

Just hope I dont turn out to be too much of a disapointment to her....

[JenC 10]

[Ghostrider 11]

She was 4 the last time I saw her, her mother met someone else, got married and moved to another town, thats when we lost touch....

[KTHFB 10]

Oh my god! I soooo hope this all works out for you.

 

I recently met my dad again and it didn;t, but it seems you have a very different attitude to your daughter than mine did to me.

 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both.

That is so sad that you havent seen her all that time.Dont let her get away again.

[Scozzie 10]

I've said it all along - underage drinking has its benefits

I hope everything works out for you. My dad came to see me for the time in years a couple of months ago. He visited about 4 times and then never ended up coming again and not even sending a text or anything. I wasnt suprised after all if he wanted contact we would have stuck at it years ago and not just left most of his kids to be. he still sees a couple of his kids but not them all and Im 1 he doesnt want to see. Not my loss though its his, hes missed out on my life so much and he will miss out on his grandsons.
