Congrats, man, for not losing hope. My brother-in-law found his grandmother after 40 years she got lost in France (she hit her head while on a train).
Sometimes, they are happy endings are such :)

I'll pass along the change request to her.
In fact I've given her this link so she can read what yall have been saying about her. Nothing like proving, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Dad is a super geek.

Not impertinent to me mind you though the racial issues often make others uncomfortable. Long story made short: Mom's first marriage flopped. She moved to Hawaii, meet my dad. They married when I was 4 and I've didn't get to know my biological donor till I was 30 something myself. (So I understand some of her feelings.) I should add that my dad, not the donor, is my dad. When I met the donor I wasn't looking for a father, already had one. I was just meeting family I didn't know yet. And to further the questions: Back when they married such things did not happen. So when we returned to continental US we returned to his hometown with his family and not knowing, and not caring, about my mom's side of the family. (I'm black by culture not by skin.) He's a preacher, a dad to many not of his blood, and my hero.

I understand where you are coming from and my family has mixed race elements and I'll be honest it doesn't always go smoothly, but we are stronger for it. I can relate to what you said about your Bio' father as I have a half brother and sisters some of whom I have never met beacuse they never seen him as his 'real' dad. Anyway Im glad you answered my question.
Hope all goes well for you g/l.

such a response is not even worth quoting, infact imo something like that should be removed by the mods as it adds nothing constructive to the thread at the very least.

Very touching. Congratulations on adding someone as important as that to your life. There are too many sad stories about abandoned children out there, very nice to see a story such as this one for a change.

It is a shame but now is the time to push forward and make up for the time you two have lost.
I've just finished spending the past 5 and a half hours on the phone with her. She doesn't want to get off the phone even though she is dead tired. The last two of those hours has been mostly me listening to her sleep with the occasional wake up, "Dad?"
"Yes, honey. I'm here."
Sometimes I am just lost of words to explain just how I feel. It's a heart breaking yet a heart warming story and I am glad you and your daughter have found each other.
Being a daughter myself this line, "The last two of those hours has been mostly me listening to her sleep with the occasional wake up, "Dad?" "Yes, honey. I'm here."", brought tears to my eyes.
I wish you, you lovely daughter and the rest of your family good luck and I hope you will have many many years of memory creation.

Last night it was her turn to hear me sleep. (Snore is the better word). All these late hours trying to find out all we can about each other is taking its toll. Even on her and she's young! What is strangest of all is how much information we know about our own families from living with them. Things that we'd think is inappropriate to ask but are just known from living with each other. Like she now knows I'm boxer-briefs and without ever having to ask I know my dad was boxers. And sorry if it seems odd to be talking about this here its just that this is so.... strange an experience. It is so surreal that eve is comfortingly real to me. Talking about this via computer allows me to maintain a lot more composure than talking about it with friends and/or family face to face. PS: It just takes one email to cure any flaming so... don't even respond to it at all. Not worth the trouble.

Congratulations on finding her again. I hope she wouldnt mind why the reason for your current character in EVE being related to her .
Seriously though, spend time with her, get out of EVE, and settle the long-standing time apart first. EVE can wait, she (and the time you've been apart) wont.

My friend words can't really express how pleased I am for you and due to that all I will say is both your daughter and yourself are in my prayers and thoughts. You both have a lot to catch up on mate.

Now without the joking: Shar, I'm really happy for you two, have fun exploring the world together and catch up. In reading this I think you'll be a great daddy to her!

Well it is coming up on one week that we've found each other... and what a week it has been.
First, no we haven't seen each other yet. Between my responsibilities (and the lint in my checking account) and her obligations with uni (and the link in her checking account) we haven't been able to see each other in person yet. That hasn't slowed us down in getting to know each other in the least little bit. In fact this leads me to....
Secondly, we are both overcompensating a bit. Sharing parts of who we are that perhaps 99.9% of other child/parent relationships do not share. I can't tell you what bad mental horrors I've caused her but ... ... I'm still trying to repress a few she's given me. Let's just say that when I was 20 years old myself I suspected that women may have thought this way about young men. Now that it is my own daughter telling me this....
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
I need to got schedule some therapy now. I'll updated this further if I can get over the fact that she's a young woman, not a sweet child of mine. Btw I have to conclude with:
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I'm very happy for you. I can't even begin to imagine what this actually means to you as I can't think of a single event in my life which would come anywhere close to what you just described.. so I'll refrain from posting some stupid metaphor in an attempt to encapsulate this post as it would only diminish it's actual meaning. Just big congratulations and best wishes to you and your daughter, you sure deserve them.

Hmmmmm, I told her a CCP person posted on this thread. I explained to her that it stands for "Cha-Ching Person" as every month these guys dip into my bank account. The gold bordering is just so we can all see when our wonderfully paid developers are spending time being forum ho's instead of fixing bugs. ( I hope you laugh as heartily as she does when I say something so obviously full of crap. The bs part, of course, is that I told her those things... regarding the accuracy of the statements themselves; I'll leave that up to the tinfoil wearers. Besides I can't ever resist teasing someone.) Still thank you very much for the kind words everyone. Our relationship is still forming and firming up. Passed a pop quiz recently. Trying not to intrude on her life too much I left her to call me at her discretion. (Her life is much more fluid than mine) So I think she tested me by not calling for a day. I of course called her and low & behold she was out when I called. But I think I convinced her that I'm in this for the long haul and not being dragged into this. And yes, I teased her about setting up such a test. Kids, bah. They think that just because we are old our brains are worn out. It's not age that's worn out my brains, it's too much eve playing.

A true tale of providence in action. I wish you and your family all the happiness you can possibly every want. You are a great guy and deserve all this happiness.
This has made me feel so happy hearing your story. The antinoob does not cry though. I am not almost crying tears of joy.
ps. Your daughter looks beautiful enough to be worth a dozen shotguns being pointed ;)
