To My Daddy "TDH",
You are the first man I ever loved. You are my dad and my best friend. I am so proud to be daddy's little girl and will forever be. A piece of me I give to you, an "O&O" because I love you. One "O" is you the other "O" is me, a circle of love connected and unbroken for eternity. You are my "one and only" and I will always be your "one and only". I will miss you and I love you.
