A Dad Wrapped Up in a Christmas Box!!!!! YAY!! ^_____^


My dad was in jail because he didn't pay child support. This was when I was in 5th grade. Anyway the day he was suppose 2 go 2 court, he DISAPPEARED!!!!!


So 3 years(I'm a 8th grader now) went by and soon he was caught and spend 2 more months in jail. My aunt promised me that in 1 week she would take me 2 C him. A week went by and my aunt didn't call. Around 7 the doorbell rang and my father was there with my aunt. She told me that they let him out. I don't know the details.


I know that I should probably hate him 4 leaving but he's my dad!!!!
I was so happy!!! He said he was sorry 4 leaving and that he changed. Just 2 hours before he showed up he was still in jail!! He wasn't expecting 2 get out, maybe until January. (spending Christmas in jail sounded pretty sad 2 me) It's a miricle that he got out 11 days before Christmas. It all happen today!!! TODAY!! A day I thought as any other!!!And I'm just so happy!!! Though my mom is pretty upset....TEE! HEE!


It's the BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!!!! *sniff*
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!


I wish all you IJ Members a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
THANKS 4 LISTENING!!! :cryriver:

God knows my family is having a hard time with our Dad just in the hospital for a few days. I couldn't imagine if my Dad was in jail.

So good for you!

You're dad is in the hospital? I'm sorry...
To your father: GET WELL SOON!!!

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!! He came by again today and we all were going through
photos when I was little...a heart warming sight....
He said he's going 2 stop by again tomorrow...
He's balder...now he looks alot like Vegeta...
TEE!!HEE!!


...Here celebrating dads 4 Christmas...

HERE HERE!!!

OMG. That's great! ~.^ I say this cuz I know what's it's like to be without a father.

Though, in my case, it has been practically my whole life >>

Yeah... same here...

Well, I feel good for you!!

WAAAHHH!!! :cryriver: *literally shedding tears* That's just awful!!! I had no idea!!
And I thought I had it bad! 2 B without a father is too big a pain 4 anyone 2 bear!!!
I just had a taste of it...


One year since he disappeared I actually thought he died or something and my whole family was trying 2 keep it from me cause they didn't want me finding out. I cried a couple of nights but later found out that wasn't the case!!


To all the IJ members whose fathers are dead or who left you, you have nothing but my sincere sympathy. Please enjoy this Christmas with the people you love knowing they love you right back...


Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....

Well, it's a nice Christmas present. I envy you.

...thank you ^_^...

Yeah, it is a nice present but it kinda sucks now (no I don't mean my dada).
What I mean is what's the point of getting a present when I can't even spend Christmas with it. I asked my mother, but she forbid it. I guess I can't blame her but I'm a little sad because of it. Well the most I can do 4 now is call him up and wish him a Merry Christmas....He understands-___-

Just be happy you have a father. I've never had much of a father, and my biological father passed away recently. Like I said, you're lucky just to have one at all. Be grateful for that.

*hugs you tightly* Take full advantage of it!!! ^_^

Didn't know my dad at all either. Left before I was born.



Anyways, that's an awesome present!
You're so lucky! (besides circumstances ^^;)
Merry Christmas!

Thank you all!!!

At first I thought this topic wasn't gonna get a lot of replys,
but it seems that I was wrong. Many IJ members have suffer from losing fathers. I'm glad I have IJ friends like you giving me full support on this. ^^
I feel so loved, or am I just over reacting? ANYWAY, THANK YOU ALL!!!

I barely came back from my mom's on Friday and I haven't heard from my dad since Christmas (I'll call him later in the afternoon today). He still needs to pick up his presents that I bought him using my grandmother's money(I'm broke). I got him a medium size bay sweater with a big, navy blue stripe across the middle. I hope he likes it.

I mean when I asked him what he wanted before I left for my mom's, he told me, "...It's okay. You don't have to give me anything for Christmas, because I already have it." Then he huged me. I knew it was a cheesy line and that I heard it before, but for some reason, after hearing that, I started to feel tears sliding down my cheeks. It was a little embarrassing. I wiped away my tears carefully, without him noticing, because I didn't want him to see me like that. :cryriver: Anyway, I still got him a little something to show how much I love him....


TEE HEE!!
Have a Happy New Year!!! ^^
