Daddy, I miss you so much! I wish there was a phone line to heaven. I would call and tell you how much I love and miss you. I would thank you for hanging around the past four years after Mom's passing. I know that was hard for you. I find comfort that you are now with the love of your life. Daddy my heart is broken and it needs repairing. I will listen to your music and watch your western movies until I can truly dance and laugh again. Only then will I know my heart is mending. I will see you and Mom when it is God's will. With all my love, Estela
