Heaven gained the best daddy when you passed, and I gained a guardian angel to watch over me every second of the day. In these quiet moments, I still hear your voice giving me advice, reassuring me, and reminding me I'm loved. Whenever I feel lost now, I try to think "What would daddy do?" And your wisdom guides me forward.
