Dear Connie, I feel your hurt, your loss, your pain, your tears. I know how very much you loved your Father. And in the same, I know he loved you, too, so very much. There is something very special about a Father and a Daughter relationship. I experienced it and you did as well. What a GOOD feeling that was! There are SO many wonderful memories you will hold deep within your heart, forever. You will remember the little minute things, the more important things, his laughter, the smile of your Father, his voice. You will continue to reflect on everything about him for years and years. And that is what he strived for. He made such an impact in your life, from growing up to now. He always knew you would be strong from day 1. And you will continue to hold your Fathers legacy. I love you (Yips!), to the moon and back~
