Daddy,
I only wish I could have spent more time with you when time allowed; when you could not stay angry at me for long. We always use lack of time as an excuse and forget to make room for priorities in our lives. More importantly, we forget to trust God in making room for these priorities. All we left with in the end is regret of all the things that we missed
From our last conversation the day before you left, I told you how wisely I used my time away from you and my brothers here. I know deep inside that you were proud of me as you always encouraged me with my studies and the family. You knew that my time was used wisely, as you could testify with three grand children later and finishing my bachelor degree. I had promised myself to come visit you at least twice a month after I was done with school; I didn't know that God had other plans for us.
I can only give thanks to God for bringing us close during this phase of your life and strengthen my faith that God always makes ways in any situation.I was able to be with you as much as possible during this time and I can't tell you how happy I was to have been there for you.
Since your spirit is still here with us, I want you to know that I am very grateful to all you have done for me and although you are not going to be physically present at my graduation, I have reserved a special place for you in the audience and in my heart. This is what you had always wanted for me and I am glad you lived long enough to witness it.
May God be with you as long as you will be with us and one day, may be we will meet again.
Your loving daughter,
Esther
