I love you, Daddy-O

One year has passed and to this day, I miss you more than words can say... I miss your love, your smile, your cheer... When I miss you most, I feel you near... God in his love for me has shown, His wisdom in taking you to his home... And so dear one, I want you to know... That to this day I miss you so.

Dad passed away this time last year July 14, 2006. I knew my dad for 35 years and will cherish all the time that I had him here. He was the most amazing father a daughter could ever ask for. There was nothing my daddy wouldn't do for me and he always tried everything in his power to keep a smile on my face. He certainly knew how to make me laugh

My dad was such a beautiful man with a giving heart and gentle soul. He always seemed to have the right words for me when I would seek his advice. Knowing I could go to my dad always reminded me that I had a safe place and a hug would be waiting. It is difficult sometimes thinking that I will never be able to feel his arms around me, hear his voice or see that shine in his eyes that always made me feel so safe, warm and happy.

I will never be too old to be considered daddy's little girl. I looked up to him in so many ways and I still do. He touched so many people during his life on this earth and I am sure that he is having that same effect in heaven.

Always in my heart…

I love you, Daddy-O
