Well....this was the 6th one and in keeping with past years....I got to spend 2 hours with her. Four hours round trip drive....and had to compete with a new kitten.....Which HAD to be picked up today.....At least as long as I keep sending the money every month, I can count on my two hours next year.......I'm not bitter
Just Sad
Hope your Sunday was better

You are a good man.
Sorry Terry, I know how much you care aboout Jessica and how much this affects both of you. At least you saw her for a couple of hours and I am sure you both enjoyed that little time you had for each other.
As you say: Stay happy and healthy!
a cute kitten can't replace a great dad. no matter how little the time you spend with your daughter may be, know that your role in her life is priceless. She will grow up to be happy, self-assured and confident that her daddy loves her.
Never mind Ter - it is just what is to be expected.
Jess adores her daddy and nothing will ever change that.
As she gets older all will change !
Hang in there
Okay, this is almost too scary by comparison. Today is my baby's birthday too - she turned 15.
There is no greater joy for a parent than to celebrate the birth of your child. While the conditions may not have been ideal, for either of you, I know that both you and she will treasure each and every birthday together. From what I know of you Terry - you are someone who will always make the best of any situation life throws your way.
Happy Birthday to your daughter for me!

Thanks for sharing this very intimate and frustrating episode of your life. You've become much more sensitive than I could have imagined. That's a compliment, my old friend. When she's old enough she'll be able to tell you that she loves you BECAUSE of the man you are. It's quality not quantity that matters.
Hey Terry-
I haven't checked in for a while, and I thought I would today. I just read your post about Jessica's B-day, and I felt very sad. But I agree with the others. Hang in there, and be as present as you possibly can/are able. Your presence in her life will make a difference in the long run.
