He was the first man I was going to marry.
The only one to call me Toots.
He was my super hero.
My night in shining armor.
The man who could make all the bad things go away.
The one I would base all other men on.
The one to say not to worry I always have dear old Dad.
He understood me like no one else.
He was my rock and my best friend.
There will never be a day that I don't miss him every second.
Love you with all my heart.
