Not sure what to say?

Still missing you. Especially today. xoxoxo

Thus shall ye think of
all this fleeting world:

A star at dawn, a
bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning

a phantom, and a
dream.

My father and I knew each other very well when I was a little girl. We each knew the others' likes and dislikes and we knew how to have a good time together.
