Hi Kelsey, Merry Christmas to you. Every day is special where you are. Your Daddy is doing well. Eagerly waiting to see you again, sometimes very sad that you are apart. He is doing his best to encourage and support other grieving parents. I know that you are proud of him for that. Keep sending him coins. Dimes are great because stuff down here gets more expensive every year. I´m looking forward to meeting you soon. Give my son Eric a hug from me. I know you two are buddies.

Remembering a beautiful little princess of daddy, Always Loved Never Forgotten, you live and will always live in our hearts and through the stories shared by your loving father, I know that you always take care of him from heaven and it is my promise that I will try to take care of him here if he allows me until the day we can meet again, until then continue to shine like the most beautiful star in the sky and cover us with your love my beautiful girl I love you

Steven Roberts

December 27, 2024

Princess, I haven't posted anything here in several years because I didn't believe it would matter. But now I think I will post on occasion to let you and others know how you continue to play an important role in my life more than 19 years after your life was suddenly and deliberately taken from you. I am currently spending the Christmas holiday in Myrtle Beach, where I have spent several Christmases after your grandma Ancy (that's how she wanted to be called) passed in 2018. I wrote your name (as well as the names of some other children who have joined you in Heaven) in the sand yesterday. I tried to write the names in the sand on Christmas Day; however, I lost the battle with the waves and surf. I have found a few coins from you, and I will take them home and add them to my Coins from Kelsey collection. I have "written" some more of the book I hope to complete before August 2025. It has been a calm and relaxing few days here at the Beach but I sure wish you could be here to enjoy it with me. I love you bunches. Daddy
