I miss you Daddy but I know that you are my guardian angel. I was definitely a daddys little girl and on the flip side daddys little (tom)boy. Who needed Barbie dolls when you had a Daddy ready to hit the backyard and throw softball, get the fishing poles all "fixed up and ready to go" and took off to what you referred to where all the fish were to be caught as the "honey hole", and take off to Buckingham with the guns and line up cans and start shooting? Your love for all mankind was in inspiration to all of us. I never forget the day you took your coat off your back in the freezing cold and gave it to one of your employees because he was less fortunate and didn't have anything to keep him warm. The smile on your face when you went up and down the roads of downtown Lynchburg all dressed up in your clown suit riding your little mini bike creating many smiles on little ones faces when they saw you and the candy coming. The gifts you bought and took to the Shriners Crippled Childrens Hospital and the love you gave all of those precious little angels. The neighborhoods that had no Christmas for their families that you provided for....and the list could go on forever...and no, you didn't do it by yourself...but always with the help of my sweet, loving Mama that was always by your side. The love that you both had for each other was like no love i have ever seen between 2 people. I can't wait to see you again Daddy...I know that you are patiently waiting at those beautiful gates with that sweet smile with your arms open wide waiting to grab me up and hug me with those big ole bear arms and give me my butterfly kisses on my forehead.....then i will take your hand and we will walk down the beautiful streets paved in gold....off on our journey down the road in Heaven to reminisce and join the ones already there and waiting....OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT WILL BE.....I love you Daddy, and I miss you so much....Until we meet again.....Your baby girl...
