Oh daddy, where do I start. As I watched you take your last breath a tear ran down your face, as I pumped and pumped on your chest to feel that heat beat comeback you were so white like a ghost.The day has come to ease your pain. As I woke this morning, I still feel the pain. I love you so much daddy, I wasn't ready to let you go so soon! Now, I know you have no pain or suffering but we are left with broken hearts and a lot of pain! I Love you Daddy forever and always your little girl.
