Daddy's Little Girl
sung by Bobby Hales
This song is for my litte girl,
I love you most in all the world,
Your Momma took you away from me,
And now your face I want to see
For two years now I thought of you,
Your memories of me may be few,
But I just wanted you to know,
Your still 'Daddy's little girl'
Chorus
I fear my daddy days' are gone
When I would hold you in my arms
Your little hand would pat my face
And I would smile with your embrace
And even though you couldn't talk
And barely had learned how to walk
You spoke to me just the same
When your eyes said "I Love You..."
My lonely days are getting grim
My paycheck is forever slim
But I can either pay support
Or take your momma back to court
But I would rather you be well
Than leave you were you couldn't tell
That I just wanted you to know
Your still "Daddy's little girl..."
Chorus
I fear my daddy days' are gone
When I would hold you in my arms
Your little hand would pat my face
And I would smile with your embrace
And even though you couldn't talk
And barely had learned how to walk
You spoke to me just the same
When your eyes said "I Love You..."
My nights are long and my days are blue
But your memory still sees me through
Your picture hangs upon the wall
And you mittens I keep in the hall
My love for you will always be
Forever etched in stone you'll see
For on my grave these words will read
Your still "Daddy's little girl..."

| Sheeesh Kenn - what a tearjerker! And I'm having a bad day already!
Is there any way for the Dr. to tell your daughter why you are not
being allowed to talk to her? She should at least know that it
is not from lack of interest on your part but because her mother
has prevented it. Can she still receive letters? If she can't
receive mail from you, I am offering to write on your behalf. I
wouldn't want to sabbotage her therapy but what kind of therapy
prevents a caring parent from expressing concern directly to the
patient.
What can we do to help? Would cards from all of us in the conference
help or hurt. If you ex thought you were telling "the world" she
might retaliate more, but if she wouldn't find out let go for it.

Well, I just got a collect call from my daughter and she said that she
found out last night that she was on phone restriction. Apparently,
someone pulled a couple of strings and now I can call her IF I have the
code. However, in order to get the code, I have to contact my ex which
already has refused.
I've got a call into one of her doctors now and hopefully she will be
calling me very soon or else I'm going to say the hell with it and
head out for Chicago this evening. I feel so helpless at this point.
Before I go though, I want to have appointments set otherwise it would
be a waste of my time. I had a very good discussion with a read only
individual who wishes to remain annonymous who also experienced the
same problem. The conversation was very uplifting and deeply appreciated.
I appreciate all of thoughts with cards but my ex could cause a stink
about it. I feel that I can get everything accomplished if I attack
the problem with reason. I have already started the doctors thinking
about my ex's stability. As the read only individual pointed out, I
can probably get her out but not until she starts "dumping" all of her
problems that she has had/is having with her mother. Then I will suggest
that part of the "discharge plan" include Sabrina being allowed to
move out here with us.
Sabrina has already told the doctor's that there is no love from her
mother, only dominance. She is ready she says to get on with her life
with someone who cares for her and will listen. I warned her that I
don't want to be used as a pawn and that she *REALLY* needs to open
up with the doctors. She says that she is trying but her mother keeps
beating into her mind, she is not going to come here and live therefore
she rebels.
I will obviously keep you posted as to the further progress of today's
ordeal.

| In regards to your daughter's wanting to live with you, have her
get the *facts* from soneone she can trust.
Maybe you should suggest that the daughter contact a lawyer and find
out just what her rights really are, or maybe get a lawyer to
write her a letter stating just what her rights really are. As I've
stated before--THIS IS A CHILDREN'S RIGHTS ISSUE as well as a
non_custodial right's issue.

Since things have calmed down here at work for the time being, I
thought I would provide everyone with a general update.
Last night, me being the persistant one that I am, I called the
hostpital again to try and talk with my daughter. When I was
transferred to my daughter's floor, I was asked for the "code".
I said that I was I was her father. The guy shocked me with,
"Good evening Mr. Jackson, hold on and I will get your daughter."
SHOCK CITY!!!
Sabrina answered the phone and she too was surprise that I got
through without a code!!
I don't know who did what, but I'm definitely grateful. Sabrina
sound in great spirits and she said that she had a real good
session with her counselor. She opened up to the counselor and
really let her mind dump. She explained the reasons for wanting
to live with me now and why she never mentioned it to her mother
for fear of retribution.
She said that at my house there is alot of love and that she
can be open with us. She also mentioned that she misses having
a father figure like other kids/adolescents and that I have
changed quite abit and am more fun to be around. She said that
we have alot of friends and that I am involved with the Jaycees
which help underpriviledged and handicapped children.
(Before our divorce took place, I was just starting my career
so I didn't really get to do things with the children like I
should have or wanted to.)
She also said that she wants to be part of her other sisters' life
and be able to watch her grow because she cares so much for her.
(The other sister being Lisa who is my daughter from my current
marriage). She then went into the fact that she has not had a
change in over 12 years and she feels that she wants to get to
see another part of the U.S. She knows that we take mini-vacations
to the mountains and she wants to be part of them.
She wouldn't bring it up to her mother because she sees that as
long as her mother has control over her, she will still continue
to get the child support. She has stated that she feels that
is the only reason her mother "keeps" her and Jennifer around.
She said that her mother also seems to be jealous on my new life
here in Colorado. She said that Linda is constantly saying that
I have a home (they live in a trailer), couple of cars, boat, etc.
Sabrina tried to tell her that I have the boat and second car
because my father left it to me in his will. She said that Linda
thinks I'm quite successful since I remarried and am leading a
happy life.
Another thing Sabrina said that bothers her and that is when they
are visiting, her mother grills them about what we do, how much
I spend on them, what kind of friends I have, etc. Sabrina feels
that she is being used to spy on me. When they are here, I
don't even bring their mother up or ask questions because it's
none of my business what she does with her life and that's another
issue that Sabrina said that bothers her mother. Sabrina even
hinted that she thinks, that Linda thinks I will come back to her
someday.
Oh well, at least I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel
and so is Sabrina. Just a matter of time.....
Will let you know the rest of yesterday's event's later today.
