After 18 long years!!! This story starts back in 1991 after a summer of juvenile deliquency I found myself heading to jail. Before I went, my then girlfriend informed me she was pregnant with my child.and after I got out her family was moving away. I was able to visit my daughter on a few brief occassions in late 1992/early 1993 but haven't seen or heard from her since. Since my ex-girlfriend was a minor when our daughter was born she was able to move away and I was unable to find out where to. Her mother really disliked me.
This brings us to TODAY! 2011 Tabatha Cornwall is now 18 nearly 19 this February 14th, yep she was born on Valentine's Day_ I remember thinking to myself when I was in jail when she was born how every valentines day now Id have someone special to share it with :)
I don't know what made me start searching but I decided to pay for a people search and sure enough she popped up with a FACEBOOK! and she was no longer in California but South Dakota and now Going to College in Colorado! All grown up, beautiful,smart,witty a chip off the old block, lol!
I really didn't know what to expect -what she'd been told-how she felt me not being in her life-BUT I had to take the chance now that I finally found her so I FRIENDED her on Facebook and....she ACCEPTED!
At first she had lots of questions_which I expected- and I told her the truth, told her about my life and where I've been, what I've done and she has started to tell me all about herself-I savor every word waiting for the next-I missed everything til this point but no longer wanna stay in the shadows-We have talked about Re-Uniting in Las #Vegas this May when she's out of school for summer break ! I am extremely nervous but very excited with anticipation. I am gonna reach out to my friends to help me make her visit VERY special!
