    He's homeless but he asked his little girl if she wanted a coffee or anything. He has nothing but is willing to give what little he has to his little girl. ❤️

      @nathalieloujein5959 6 лет назад +63

      That looked so misplaced because SHE was the one who should have been offering HIM coffee, a seat, and, maybe, a basket full of fruits. SHE is the one with housing, and, apparently, not living in the streets. She is the younger one, and HE is the older one. She came to see her father empty-handed. And don't tell me her heart was full. Full of what?? IF it were so full of that 'love' she talks about, she would have asked him to live with her, and brought him home with her to spend the rest of his days with her. And also, don't say she doesn't have 'accommodations'. Surely, whatever she could offer for accommodations would be better than the streets. Unless she were a university student living in a dorm with room and board, she could have taken her father home with her.

      as a man that havent known his father since childhood... that just started contact again.... its not easy to open up to something like this... belive me its the most wierd feeling emaginable... ive seen him 5 times over the past year and he just stopped contacting me... its the worst feeling ever to be let down a second time by a person that should do everything and anything for you... i will think twice before opening myself up again... so She better do what she damn well pleases and think before getting let down yet another time.

    • @Surftouka
      @Surftouka 6 лет назад +5

      anas d c, I grew up with my Dad so never had such experiences. I'm sorry you had to experience that a second time. I do agree with you, my first thought was I'd want to take this man home because he seems so sweet & gentle, but I don't think that is wise. She needs to have time with him, talk to him-why did he skip out on her & her Mom? maybe she's come to terms with it, but yes I think after 20 years it's a good idea to develop the relationship a bit. IMO, if he's getting money for housing, he's been homeless, he has no reason to stay in London, why not get housing at least in the city where his daughter lives to make a real effort to work on their relationship instead of just depending on visits? If I was in her situation and he made that attempt, I'd make more of an effort to help him... with groceries and other needs. I mean it's not like he's working or any reason to stay in London that I can see.

      If you believe in science then I have an answer for you. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the fabrics of space and time are interconnected and they simply cannot exist without one another. Before the big bang, there was no space and thus no concept of time. Therefore, we really don't know what caused the big bang and we really can't say what happened before it because the universe was timeless. To ask what came before God does not make sense simply because time is a dimension that existed only when the universe began.

    I think it is so sweet that this man living on the street for 20 years...that went to prison...drank...that fell on hard times, would cover his mouth when talking to his daughter to hide his missing teeth. People assume that when someone is living in that condition that they don't care about anything, not even themselves anymore. And yet...here he is meeting his daughter for the first time in years, after years of her not knowing him. He is not wanting her to see him with a mouthful of missing teeth. 😭😭
    God Bless the ladies who started this and got the ball rolling for her to find him. I hope things look up for them both..and the can heal and mend their relationship.

      +yearofthejacquie In Canada, rent is so expensive yet they refuse to have the minimum wage at the level where you don't have to spend your entire paycheck on rent alone. It's so difficult. They have this supposed housing crisis yet they wont re install Rent Control. The government prefers to have control by having low income housing buildings instead of having subsidized housing for everyone (and not just those with children at home).

    I certainly know the feeling. I lost contact with my daughter at age 2. Her mother left and for 13 long years i looked and looked with no luck at all. One day 7 years ago my mom called me at work saying my exgirlfriend left my daughter there like it was nothing. I said i will be there as soon as i get off work. It started out very ruff. But now 7 years later she is 22 years old, married with 3 children and i drive there to visit about every 3-4 months. My grandchildren live me very much. Happy to have them back. Now i have two daughters 16 & 13 with my exwife who i have not seen in 2 years. I have seen them all their lives up til 2 years ago. I have no idea where they live. They are not on social media anywhere. Maybe soon they will return like my oldest daughter.
