I remember my graduation day, the day you had been waiting for so long. The day where I know that you were so proud of me. That I had done better than you ever expected me to. That day where you wanted everything to be great for me.  I remember coming home from practice and not waiting to go and that wasn't an option for you. You told me that I had done too much and worked my ass off to much to miss this day. I remember me finally trying to get ready and things going wrong but you still wouldn't let me give up. Like you said going was my only option. I remember meeting up with uncle lee and the girls to take pictures and  I remember that feeling of how proud of me you where. How just that day I got you to not wear a hat, but daddy I would give up anything to just have you back. You could wear your hat to everything. I promise. This by far was the best day that I can rememeber with everyone. Finally I day that I didn't piss people off. I would give the world to have this day again and to be able to see you and hug you once again.. Always in my heart <3

I've always been closer to you. You were the one I ran to if I needed help, the one that was always there. The one that helped me with school, the one that helped me deal with grandpa's passing away. The last two years of high school you and I got even closer. We were as close as father and daughters should be. The car rides home, and the walks down the hall, sitting in your's and Hirakis' office laughing. Daddy I miss you.

I remember the night before my 18th birthday you and I were out driving around in that huge storm. You were the one that was with me when I finally turned 18. I remember it was raining so hard you couldn't see infront of the truck, you couldn't see anything. Then you get a call from the monitoring center and at this point you forgot your code and you didn't have it with you. I remember running in the house because it was raining so hard and everything was blowing all over.

I remember you going with mom and I to pick out my car. You driving it to make sure I was gonna be safe. Making sure it was a good car of me. Thank you for everthing that you ever did. And I'm sorry that I was more appricate of it then like I am now. My only wish is that you could come back to Zach and I because we both still need you so much!!
