Hi daddy, I'm sorry I am late wishing you a happy Father's Day but I could not bear thinking of that day and not having you here with us to celebrate. It was hard for me to talk about you or to talk with you that day and keep it together so I had to distance myself a bit. I'm sorry for this but I know you understand. I love and miss you so so much daddy. Come and visit me in my dreams or while I'm enjoying the river or sitting on the deck with my coffee, just drop in and say hi, let me hear...
