Dear Daddy,
The trial started this week. I haven't attended any of it. It's not because I don't love you, it's because I love you SO much. I cannot emotionally handle that your death is real, it actually happened and you're no longer here. Words cannot describe how heavy my heart feels. I cry for you, my heart aches for you. Even though I pray for you and justice to be served, nothing will bring you back to me and that's a hard pill to swallow. Just please know how much I love you, nothing will ever change that. I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart! Missing you terribly but always sending you Butterfly Kisses! I love you Daddy!
Love your little girl...Amy!

Love, Amy
