Dad, theres so many things I wish I could say to you that should've been said along time ago., and I know that everything happens for a reason. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry I wasn't a better daughter and I'm sorry that we were both to stubborn to to admit what we were really angry about. I am so angry at everything and everybody but most of all I'm sad that neither of us had enough sense to tell eachother how we felt sooner!!! I Love You and I miss you and I want you to know that I'm very proud and honored to call you my dad. I hope that you are able to see from heaven that everything you tried to teach us kids while we were growing up is what makes me who I'am today,and I'm sorry you weren't able to see it while you were still here, so you could say you were proud that I was your daughter, but I know you'll be able to see it now that I'am who I'am because of you and I thank you for that and I just hope that I'am able to teach my sons the morals and values and how to stand up for whats right and how to never cross a picket line the way you taught me. I Love You and tell My Mom I love her too. Love Always Your Daughter, Layla
