Lance,
 
I am happy to hear your daughter accepted you as a Facebook friend and that you have a way of making contact with her.  This sounds like a great way to see whats she up to and to let her know about all the great things you have been doing. I want to thank you for wishing us all well on finding our way and  I want to wish you well on finding your way also.

Hi Lance,
 
That's a very good step that your daughter accepted you as a Facebook friend!  Be careful to give her space.  I know many kids are apprehensive about letting their parents on their facebook so it is very postive she accepted you!  I am sure she will notice all the good things you are up to!
 
It is nice that you noticed she might be interested in going camping.  Do you think you would like to take her at some point?  If so, what would a camping trip look like for you? Where would you go? What would you do?

My daughter accepted my friend request on Facebook. It was a risk and a friend warned me of the personal life aspect. I want her to see what Im involved with there, its impressive. All self improvement, self help, spiritual stuff, good causes. All real good.

I want to be her Dad again, one of her FB pages is camping. I never took my kids camping. I always had to work. The truth is I never wanted to deal with the hassle and put forth the effort to do it. Maybe its the way I was brought up too. My family didnt have outings. I dont know. Im 47, Im healthy, I DONT smoke. So I hope I get another shot at being a Dad. My kids deserve it. Ya know every day I feel bad, that I broke, I fell apart. And it makes me sad, cause no one knows what its like to go through this, unless its you. Other dont understand, how bad you want to live, participate and have some kind of enjoyment and satisfaction in your life. I really hope I get through this time in my life soon and I hope others find their way as well.

I sent my step daughter a email earlier, I took her on a New Years catering with me for 2000. I raced to get her to her boyfriends by midnight. Back then I WAS ABLE to do ANYTHING. I was amazing! If I do say so myself. I was, and I want me back. In a better way so I dont go through this again.
