COMPLETELY off topic guys, but say a little prayer for me please....In about 1 hrs time, I'll be meeting my 28 year old daughter for the first time since she was 14 months old!I'm bloody terrified!!!!

No prayers necessary. She will be proud of how how cool her dad is.

She'll laugh her socks off when she sees my flightsim setup;-)

_{Great to see a positive forum entry like this. Hope all goes well for you and your daughter, sir!}

Yes Dougal,Done. Let us know how the meet goes!Kind regards,

how exciting!

If what we know of you from your persona on Avsim is anything to go by, I'm sure you will have nothing to worry about. You always seem like one of the good guys to me.Al

I'll keep you in my thoughts, Phil!

That is nothing short of awesome. Just don't leave it another 27 years until the next meeting. :wink:Al

I always like to hear stories like this. I'm very happy for you and congratulations on the re-connection and getting to meet your grand daughter!

I am sorry I came to this a bit late. I will just say that posts like yours and responses you received are what "community" is about. I use the word alot and probably bore the bejesus out of most everyone here, I am sure, but at the bottom line, we can't take our hobbies, our money, or our material goods with us. All we can do is take the memory of friends, family and the community that we shared with. Dougal, hank you for sharing that..

Nice to hear. Care to share the 27 year separation reason? Just curious.
