Dad,

Even though you left us too soon, your love and guidance still resonate in my heart every day. I miss you deeply, especially during special occasions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and even on my wedding day. But I know you were there in spirit, watching over me as I embarked on this new chapter of my life.

It's been almost nine years since I got married, and not a day goes by that I don't wish you were here to share in the significant moments. I can almost see you smiling from above, surprised yet proud that I took the leap into marriage. Yes, you were right; I was the last one of the girls to get married. Lol.

Sometimes, I find myself wondering how anyone could put up with me the way you did. Your unconditional love and patience were unparalleled, and I'm forever grateful for the love you showered upon me. I want you to know that I've carried your lessons with me every step of the way.

From getting married to navigating life's triumphs and challenges, I feel your presence guiding me every step of the way. Though the pain of your absence never truly fades, I find comfort in the beautiful memories we shared.

As I continue this journey called life, I carry your love and teachings with me always. You were, and always will be, my rock, my mentor, and my hero; and, you were and always will be, the best dad in the world. I love you endlessly, Dad.

With all my love,
Your `Spoiled Daughter´ Chendra

Dad,
I have been avoiding visiting your guestbook but Chendra talked me into it like she's always done. She called me today, wanting me to read what she wrote to you. After reading her insert, emotionally I felt forlorn about all of the pain that we are experiencing. I concur with every word Chendra wrote. It's been devastating during these holidays without you. I often imitate your voice on many occasions in remembrance of your words of wisdom which sometimes were quit comical and encouraging at the same time. As long as I have a beat left in my heart, you will never be forgptten. I will continue to make you pride. I MISS and LOVE YOU DADDY!!! I know that you're in heaven smiling down on me!

Dad,
I missed you on Thanksgiving! I missed you Christmas! I missed you being the first to call me this year on my birthday. Now it's Valentine's Day and I still miss you! I will continue to pray and talk to you every night. I'm trying to be strong Dad I really am, because I know you would want me to, but it's so hard when I've always been Daddy's Little Girl.I don't believe anyone will treat me as good as you did. Thank You for being the BEST DAD IN THE WORLD! You are truly missed! I'm still making you proud. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! Dad,you are still my Valentine. I know you are in Heaven smiling down on me saying "Look at my spoil baby." I love you Dad and I always will!
