All I am is because of you.
Your silent strength and long suffering endurance.
Though never spoken aloud - 
I knew you love was and always will be there.

You - A shooting star across my life
Brilliant - yet. not near long enough
You - and only you will always be there.
Your smile, your laugh, your humor - are still mine to share.

Though these are fading in the passage of time - 
my memory of you is still fresh, yet quiet and still alive.

Daddy's Girl I'll always be...
   the wind now carries your voice,
   the sun your smile, 
   the birds your wisdom,
   and the clouds your spirit.

*But I still try to embrace you love even without you here*

Dad: I wrote this for you because I love you with all my heart, 
not matter what has happened between us I will always love you  
and I just want you know that you will ALWAYS be in my heart 
whether we are close together or far away from each other.  

I will continue praying for you in hopes that you will return to us.
I have tried so hard to take care of things for you 
while you are unable to, 
and I just hope that I did and am doing 
everything that you would have wanted. 

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART 
Please get well soon. XOXOXOXO
