48 years ago today daddy you went home and it hasn't been the same without you. While many things have changed since you left and I am almost at your age when you left, I have a few things to say.
Thank you Daddy for everything that you taught me and for being tough on me for discipline although I didn't like it and most Children don't will most certainly acknowledge their parents when they are older and say how well they understand why their parents said and did the things they did. To help them learn and grow.
Yes daddy my wings have spread far and wide. And I have made plenty of mistakes along the way as all of us do. Not afraid to acknowledge them and learn from them as you and mom taught me well.
I truly wish Daddy I could go back and do some things over again but I know I can't. I understand I must move on and do better.
My faith will never be shaken Daddy I want you to know. I will always thank you and mom for helping me when you understood music and singing would be something on my future. 
I miss those Butterfly Kisses daddy but I know when you're around along with the rest of the family ❤
I know all of you can see what's happening here and now Daddy...be with me and Chris. We need a permanent home as soon as possible. I know how good ourLord is and I trust in his plan for me ❤
I promise Daddy no matter how bD the storm I will never give up....I am not a quitter....you and mom didn't teach me to surrender mid battle...
My Heavenly Family is my guardian angel ❤
And the memories I have of being daddy's little girl are precious and will last....Forever...❤
