This song is my life, my dad can't be in my life since I was 11 and its hard on birthdays and holidays thats how I would feel. When I was 19 I got pregnant and of course it didn't end well. I have a little girl now and her father has replace us. But my daughter has made my life worth living. Now I have a step dad and my grandfather who are both like fathers to me and married my best friend from high school. He's loves my daughter as his own its truly wonderful what God can to.

This song is hard for me because, even though my dad didn't chose to leave me. He is now dead and has been for over 8 years. He passed away when I was 5 and on my most recent birthday, my 13th, I think was the hardest for me so far. Just knowing that I am now a teenager and I have so many more birthdays to go without being able to talk to him or see him again pains me.

This song is my life. My parents divorced when I was young and my dad and I's relationship dwindled off to where I only got to see him once a year. I got pregnant at 19 and was struggling whether or not to keep the baby. My little girls father left me when I was 3 months pregnant. I realized with God's help that I could do it. She has helped me so much in my relationship with God. Today my daughter is 3 and I'm 23 and God bought into our life a Godly man that is her daddy now.

Im so glad I heard this song!!! My dad was emotionally absent my whole life and when I was 19 I was pregnant, I asked the lord to come into my life when I visited a Pregnancy center. My sons daddy isnt around, but that is fine with me because the ultimate father has been helping me through the past few years. and my 22nd birthday is in 2 days. I needed to hear this song!!! thank you! it really isnt just another birthday, I mean something to someone!!!

@GodsGirl530 I'm so truly sorry to hear; though do know Christ and our eternal Father loves us. And I do strongly believe that your dad was looking down on you, on your 13th birthday. Smiling. Know that you're never alone, and that Christ is with you forever and always.

What about dads who desperately WANT to be a part of their daughters lives? Who are being pushed out? What about the kids who are being told by the other parent that daddy has abandoned them but the reality is that every effort by daddy is being pushed away by the other parent? What if every letter, every phone call EVERY attempt to show up for wkends, birthdays, school events, etc, was thwarted by the other parent & all the child saw was "abandonment"? To daddy, it's "just another birthday" too
