Words cannot express how much you are missed daddy. I keep thinking I will wake up from this dream and you will be here with us. Every time I turn around I am reminded of you. My life will be forever changed without you. You were the best dad a girl could ask for, never judging me, bailing me out of many tough situations, and just being there for me always. I have been blessed to have you as my dad and I will never stop loving you, even though you are no longer with us.
