I know your watching over me my sweet Angel daughter...as time passes and I continue to age older and older, losing you still feels like just yesterday even still. I would give anything and everything to see your bright, smiling face again, even if only for a moment. It's now 2016, over 5 years since you've been back in the arms of Christ. My pain is tucked deep down inside my soul now, I find comfort in the fact that i will inevitably see you again. Until then, I love you unconditionally and eternally from this world till I see you in the next. Your Dad misses you more then anyone could ever know or even possibly conceive. :'(
