Daddy, its your little girl. Always and forever. I miss you more than anyone can imagine, and my heart breaks that you are no longer here for me to hug, kiss, laugh and joke with. I cant see your beautiful blue eyes and your smile that lets me know you are happy inside. You were my hero, the first man I gave my heart to and the only man I will ever love fully on this earth. From the time I was born I was your shadow and wanted to be with you every where you went! I miss you so much! I know we must all leave here one day, I just wish you had more time to call me 100 times a day to see how my day is, tell me you love me, or to make sure I made it home from work. More time to tell me you are proud of me, and to give the man in my life a hard time because you want the best for me. More time to spend holidays with me cooking, trips to the store and fried fish on Friday nights. we have a lot of memories dad, and I will cherish every one! Rest in Peace Daddy...I'll be here to carry on your memories! I love you! Forever, Your Babygirl,
Bizzy
