    On a bridge in France where her fiance proposed. The locks are locked onto the fence and the keys thrown in the water to represent ever lasting love.

    You tell a great story. I understand the isolation you feel. Different circumstances of course, but I think you handled things with incredible poise.

    I hope you get the relationship you look for with all your children.

    Here's to a new year!

    WOW your post intrigued me I kept reading on. I can relate to a certain extent but I am the daughter of a man who received a phone call after 20 years. Many things go through a childs head after divorce or other life changing events. A wedding seems to be just one of those life changing events. Mine was my pregnancy with his grandchild. There were many of the awkward moments just like you described. I was glad to see the similarities. Unfortunately my story did not have a happy ending. The thing I want to say to you is talk, talk, talk , talk about everything good bad and ugly... Because if that might have been done in my case my ending might have been different. Enjoy many more holidays with your family. Family is everything if you don't have family, you got nothing in my opinion. Family is everything to me... Congrats on your call from her, so glad you shared this with us. Good luck :)

    That's great that you were there for her ... and that you showed class and support. It's a hard thing to do. I'm glad your daughter is back in your life, no matter how convoluted and messy life can be.

    You are talented at conveying your emotion through written word. Glad you got in touch with your daughter. Be sincere and hold her close. Don't guard yourself... just let yourself be open to change and embrace this new experience. Best of luck.
