To My Daughter With Love (1994)

Cast: Ricky Schroder, Linda Gray, Megan Gallivan
A recently widowed, young father must decide whether he should raise his daughter or let her grandparents raise her after the deαth of his wife.

[@diannebernau3293]

Sad movie. Seemed like the father was trying to cope with everything at once. Where was the help and support from his in-laws? The mother-in-law never thought Joey was good enough for her daughter and that they could do better. Money is not everything and it doesn’t replace the love of a parent. The in-laws used his insecurities to get what they wanted - to replace the loss of their daughter with their granddaughter. That little girl was always dressed up in clothes that would normally be for “best”. It is unnatural for a child not to be able to play outside and get a little dirty. I was so glad when his friends came to help. It was just what he needed.

[@gracemoore9904]

He's hugely underrated. He was excellent in "My Son Johnny" and "The Stranger Within". Like so many former child stars he has struggled with alcoholism and his private life is a bit of real-life drama at times. I hope he stays sober and keeps acting. He is a great actor.

If you're gonna make the assertion you could elaborate please because, as he I was against the forcing of masks as well for many scientific reasons. But bullying someone is not good either on either end. So could you elaborate on why you say he was a bully, please?​@@illstuffamattresswithyou5657

Not going to make her do something she doesn't want to do? Mean like prohibit her from playing on a busy street if she chooses to? Teaching her to avoid her father, because she doesn't understand what's going on, is just as destructive.

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

Omg ...finally a movie about a mother who passed away the same way my own mom passed away. I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time and not only that but I was in the car with her the night when it happened. I thank God she had the good sense to pull over into the parking lot of a golf course just as she was feeling the onset of the attack from the severe pain in her head. I remember the moment she parked the car to a stop, layed back and leaned her head to the head rest of the driver's seat and opened the door beside her to vomit and then finally collapsed. That moment I instinctively knew what was happening, and then pinched her leg in a panic hoping that that would somehow revive her. It wasn't long before I then realized that there was no more hope of reviving her and so I panicked as I got out of the car flailing in a panic in the hope of flagging down a nearest passerby toward the road in front of me. Sure enough, some kind hearted soul noticed me, pulled into the parking lot and lead me to the front lobby - the door to which I just moments prior was too heavy to open by my small frame - then she opened the door to have someone to call the ambulance. The chef was really kind too, as he offered me some ice cream to help comfort and calm my nerves. Next thing I know it, ambulance arrives an Aunt who thank God lived only a mile away was notified and came to pick me up and off we drove to the hospital where we all learned that my mother sadly couldn't make it and off she went to join our Lord in heaven. God bless her soul and may rest in peace forever with our Lord and his angels.

There are many single mothers. They face the same intrinsic problems but no one considers it as impossible. It is hard. But not impossible.

The girl's anger toward her dad was sad, but I understand. He thought he was doing what was best for her when he let her live with her grandparents, but I can see how she was upset and felt like her dad didn't want her. The grandparents weren't really looking out for anyone but themselves. The dad had just lost his wife, and now they were taking his daughter away from him. The trauma they caused by pulling a little girl away from her dad was so sad. She had just lost her mom, and now they were breaking up the family even more. The grandparents sure didn't do anyone any favors by seeking custody of their granddaughter. I'm glad they finally realized that in the end.

No one can take the girl away from her father UNLESS he beats or abuses her or knowingly makes her harm or put in to danger. Just being not enough financially does not mean he is unqualified parent. He really loves her. Grandparents have right to see or meet her but no custody over their son in law(actually ex-son in law).

I went through a similar experience. I dare to say that most of us wish there were someone there to rely on. Our pride is very often the reason why we can´r make up our minds, but love sees us through. As we allow love to lead, our decisions make more and more sense, and we will have more of life, of love, of time; and less pain, fear, sorrow and regrets.

I could tell that Harriet loved him. She saw his true potential. So she did push them a little bit. I wish that they would make a second movie where they got married. It would be really cute then had a few babies together. They already both has girls the same age. I also could tell he liked her. The second movie storyline could’ve taken place a few years. Ware the girls are between 8-10yr no older. Still like them young and the parents have been married for a year or two. And had a baby together like twins girls during the movie be about 2yr. And they all lived in the house that he built.

He's lucky to HAVE inlaws who could afford to give him help both financially as well as help to take care of his kid. This could have been a win-win situation rather than lose-lose. The dad was stubborn--as was the grandma. The little girl could have had the best of both worlds. Why couldn't the adults have worked together to make things work for the benefit of all? None of this makes sense. (Single mothers, often with multiple children and no extra help whatsoever--financially or through relatives--struggle through this same ordeal without all his drama.)

Why does the father must decide who raise the girl? He is now only parent as the girl's mom died. Do the grandparents insist her custody? Or is her father going to get remarry but the woman does not want to raise her? Of course the grandmother has right to see her but can't take her from her father. That is the law.

G'day from Sydney Australia😊 Thank You for sharing a dramatic and heartwarming tv movie. Ricky Schroder is always great at portraying any roles he gets the chance to do. His most iconic role is his debut movie as a very young boy in The Champ. In this film he plays a loving single father who lost his wife and goes through challenges trying his best raising his daughter. The rest of the cast of actors and actresses played their roles very well. This flick is worth watching for light entertainment. Rating 8/10 Monday 4/6/22

Wow that young guy the widow is a great actor I’ve not heard of him before which is a shame he should be very famous or maybe he was and I’m late to the party,anyhow,when a child loses one parent in death and then gets told by the other parent you have to live elsewhere children then feel abandoned especially when they are grieving the dad didn’t understand that children don’t look at situations with money that’s their innocence they thrive on love a parents love not money if children aren’t spoiled,I have amazing memories of growing up in the eighties in a family of 8 siblings in the eldest our most fun times are the ones not paid for like church trips,holiday clubs,even getting free hampers at Christmas to using big barrels we had and balancing on them while walking then touching my siblings finger while walking on the barrels and we got an electric shock 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the barrels were hard plastic and us walking on them created static and I put my tennis ball in a sock stood up against our side wall and hit the ball like a spring at the sides of me up above me down below me faster and faster each time without hitting myself,hop scotch,space hoppers,pogo sticks,Kirby,forest exploration and climbing trees and making swings,playing tag etc no internet were the best times ever ❤️

[@laurenalan423]

The little girl is adorable. Her anger is understandable, and it's her grandparents' fault for pulling her away from her dad. She couldn't process what was going on, and she thought her dad didn't want her. That's why she got mad at him. The actress who played her was Ashley Malinger. Her brother was in Sleepless in Seattle. Her brother played the son of the character Tom Hanks played. By the way, the character Tom Hanks played in Sleepless in Seattle was also a single father who was grieving the loss of his wife.
