#LoveLaidDown Today, marks the 10th Anniversary of Daddy's transition on high. My Daddy is up there talking to the Lord on my behalf and IT'S WORKING OUT for this child's good today! It's been a strange struggle in this land without you Daddy, but I had to pause to speak your name in the atmosphere! Run around Heaven all day! Through love, you laid your all down.
