Answer 1

Father daughter reuniting issues are tougher than mother daughter reuniting... if you have walked away from her... and went on to remarried or whatever... or had other children... and if the contact that didn't occur over the 25 years was your fault than be ready... she may welcome you with open arms at first... but soon she will want answers and don't make excuses... be honest and if it was you fault say so... be a man... I would even suggest if it wasn't your fault take the blame anyway... she's a woman now and her point of veiw will be that of a woman not a little girl that never really new her father.

I wish you the best but I have seen this in many cases... fathers walking away is more common than mothers... the bond was never formed and you are really strangeres... but there is the flip side if you both go at it for what it is... a new relationship... no one is looking to hold a grudge... than it can be a wonderful experience... I wish you the best of luck with this... hope this helps:-))))).  

Answer 2

If you have her address, write to her and ask her if she'd be willing to met you for lunch. If she agrees, you'll have an opportunity to explain why you weren't in her life. If she doesn't, unfortunately, too much time may have gone by to resolve past indiscretions. I hope this all works out for you in any event.

Answer 3

With open arms. life is to short!

BUT, she may not feel the same. I don't know why you have been apart for so long but she may have a few questions as to why? what ever has happened has gone, she is grown lady. remember that.

you have to prepare yourself for questions!

I wish you luck. just remember that she is your blood and you love her.
