Daddy,

I know I haven't seen you since I was 10. I still go on thinking how things could have been different if things didn't happen the way it did. But thats all in the past now and it's time to move on to the future. It hurts me that I know you haven't seen your own little girl graduate high school or go off to her senior prom or get her first job or even get her first boyfriend. I still remember you saying you would be waiting with a shotgun when you met any guy who would take your own little girl. I missed having you cheer for me at all my softball games. It just didn't feel right without you. But even though you weren't beside me at them times I know you were watching over me, protecting me. It's still hard to think that you passed away when I was so young but I relized that I became the person I am today because of you. You made me stronger and relize that you only have one life to live, and you have to live it to the fullest with no regrets. I miss you so much and I wish you would be near me right now telling me what to do. But I know you are inside my heart forever and telling me what to do always as I follow my heart. Protect me always Daddy and one day we will be together once again soon. I love you!!

Rest In Peace Daddy!!
