Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room ah I'm the mother of three beautiful children; one adult baby girl 21, one adult baby boy 20, and one baby girl 17 - I so totally understand; they will always be my babies. There's two songs out about fathers and baby girls; I'll find them and post them.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Heartland - I Loved Her First Lyrics Look at the two of you dancing that way Lost in the moment and each others face So much in love your alone in this place Like there's nobody else in the world I was enough for her not long ago I was her number one She told me so And she still means the world to me Just so you know So be careful when you hold my girl Time changes everything Life must go on And I'm not gonna stand in your way But I loved her first and I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep And I prayed that she'd find you someday But it still hard to give her away I loved her first How could that beautiful women with you Be the same freckle face kid that I knew The one that I read all those fairy tales to And tucked into bed all those nights And I knew the first time I saw you with her It was only a matter of time But I loved her first and I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep And I prayed that she'd find you someday But its still hard to give her away I loved her first From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep Someday you might know what I'm going through When a miracle smiles up at you I loved her first
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room ah, and you have made for tears to flow. That is stunningly beautiful.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room There have been several occasions where I was given an Ultimatum in reference to a man. To either pick them or my children; no contest, my children won every time. I think one of the sweetest things a man can do; is encourage a mother to love her children and understand that her love runs so deep for her babies that she is capable of doing anything to nuture and protect them.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Tori tells me that the greatest risk she ever took and the most rewarding as well, was to trust me to be her daughter's stepdaddy. I am graced and blessed with our Amelia.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room I read these posts with tears in my eyes. My 16 year old daughter was in a car accident last night. She is shaken, but OK. It makes me realize how precious life is.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Oh Andrea! How frightening, I'm glad she's alright! Paul, bless you for wanting to be Amelia's stepdaddy! There is nothing so difficult as choosing to be a parent to someone else's child! Tracy
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room oh andrea love - i am so sorry - thank God for Angels and prayers
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room hug that girl, hug tht girl. May she be okay forever and ever and never have another accident. Paul
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room It is a wonderful thing to have your step daughter call you Dad ;D We moved from the place where I said goodbye to my daughter so there are no memories, but for me its a good thing. I know me and I would be sitting in her room crying all the time :'( I miss those early years
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Paul! That is wonderful! You are a lucky guy aren't you? Tracy
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Y'all are taking me into the near future, and I dread the thoughts of the empty rooms. With 2 in high school, I know this is coming, but still try to steer my thoughts away. Thanks for your thoughts and transparency of heart.
Re: The Computer Is In Our Daughter's Room Paul, I hope I am not too late with this thread for you to see. One of my favorite songs is "I hope I am at least half the daddy he didn't have to be." That speaks of the man that raised me and my brother and sister. My Dad is dead now but I tried to tell him often how much it meant to me that he took the place of a man who was not there. We were tough kids to raise, lots of problems in our lives but my Dad stuck it out to the end. Bless you for being the Daddy you didn't have to be. Mike
