It is been some time I not been here. I was not sure I will come back to here. But here I am, I am trying it.

There is so much bad of our life. But also, there is much good. So much in last few weeks, I been wanting, I do not know, maybe not wanting bad, butnot caring so much I am alive or dead. But there is been good to me also, and been good to my life. I was much reminded of that tonight, when I talk with a friend.

I was 19 years old when I become a father. I was 21 when I lose my child. But my child, she was best part of my life, in that time, and even now.

I was telling friend, her first word was 'papi'. To hear that, my heart melt to her, even more, even as she had my heart since she was born. Always, I would come home from work, and even if she already was asleep, I would take her out of her bed and hold her and talk to her. Then would put her back to bed and tell her much how I love her. The days I was not working so much, they was so good, because then, I have more time to spend with my daughter. I know I should spend so much that time with her mother, and at that time, I did love her mother. But my daughter, she had my heart total.

Best moment of my life? The night, when I put my daughter down to bed and tell to her I love her, and she can say back first time 'I love you papi'. That very precious small voice, saying those very big words. My heart was total gone, more than it even was before.

She take it with her when she die. But that was best moment my life, and something that keep me alive in years since. I hope others here, they have such a best moment also.

Visha, my friend,

You have me close to tears. Please read Adam's response again and again. Your daughter was truly blessed to have a father like you. You went out of your way to make sure she knew she was loved, and not raised in an environment like the one you grew up in.

Visha,

As a young man who had been terribly abused you had some crucial choices to make when your daughter came into the world. You made ALL the right choices.

We never know how much more time we will have in the world. That makes it all the more important to do our best to cherish each moment with htose we love. You did that, and now you have the memories. That's so great.

Much love,
Larry

Visha,

I've missed you here, but I understand that sometimes we just feel the need for being gone, and that's OK.

Your post moves me to tears. I have one daughter that I love with all my life. She's 22 now. My heart aches just at the thought of losing her. I can only imagine what your life was like when she was gone. Cherish those memories you have of her, My Friend. You were a good father. I can tell that. She was a fortunate little girl.

Take care of yourself, brother.

Lots of love,

John

Visha,

Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory with all of us. It shows what a loving father you were to your daughter, and what a precious child she was. Hold fast to the memories like this, they are so wonderful.

Visha,
Thank you for this post. I have a beautiful daughter who is 8. When she says the words, "I love you Daddy." Her voice rings in my ears for hours and in my heart for days. It is the most beautiful sound.

Just remember the sound of your daughter's words and her voice. Carry that love with you always.

God Bless You!

Visha,

I tried for many days to think of a good moment to share here.

I was feeling very bad when I read this so it was difficult for me to think of anything, but now I have remembered something that was a very good moment.

Ten years after my father died, my youngest sister was getting married.

She asked me to walk her down the aisle and to "give her away" at her wedding.

I was a little scared to do this but it made me very happy and very proud that she asked me, and not one of my older brothers.

This seems like such a little thing maybe. But it was a best moment for me, and truly I still hope that more best moments will be coming for me - for all of us.
