Not there for my daughter

I was cleaning my room of lots of old clutter and put up lots of pictures of my daughter got a frame for 12 photos and put up some of her art. Before i had these pictures and art shoved in a couple of drawers sadly brushed aside and most not considered worthy of a frame. These were when she was little she's now 20 years of age. She's told me after I recently asked her if I was a good dad that she wishes she could of spent more time with her when she was little. The 80/10/10 Raw Vegan diet is prompting my to ask such questions being more connected to my emotions than at any time in my past truly this is an instance of living my best life now! After my divorce I talked with parents and agreed to give over custody so she could have good health insurance and a better home in my opinion. Parents and me only live about 15 miles apart yet with my struggle with depression, SAD diet, working shit jobs, and spending more time with a girlfriend I neglected spending any more than one day a week with my daughter. I'm a much better Dad now and she has lived with me for the past 6 years. To look at old pictures and letters she wrote me it makes me cry some good tears but others more of regret but for the first time I can feel the regret without thinking selfishly and justifying myself when I was in the wrong just accepting responsibility. I've since apologized to my daughter and she forgave me. I'm thankful to be able to feel these emotions even though they are difficult. One of the great joys of 80/10/10 rv! I think I'm going to show her what I did to my room. She may not think much of it but I sure do. I'm trying to help her eventually get off of the SAD diet and on to 80/10/10 RV. She has had non-hodkgins lymphoma which is a form of cancer of the lymph nodes a few years ago but now is recovered but with her bone health and the pain she still goes through because of doing chemotherapy (wish I knew about 80/10/10 at the time and what it could do for cancers of all sorts perhaps she would have another option besides chemotherapy) she is very obese and continually has issues with her joints and bones so I'm hoping and praying she will change for her health. I'm not pushy and her but I do tell her words of wisdom from time to time and I'll keep on because I want the best health for my daughter because I love her.
