Scott D Higgins

Dear Dad, by Khloe Higgins (made from the heart all words by her)
The day I was born and I seen you I knew my life was going to be good. I knew that because I took one look at you and your green eyes and your smile and even your bald head and knew you were going to be a great dad. And I was right you were even better than great you were all the good above. But unfortunately all good things come to an end. Thank you dad for showing me and teaching me how to be a better version of myself you make me a better version of myself. I hope you know that every person standing or sitting in this room loved you very much but just know that I will always and forever love you infinity. Thank you for showing me what a good man is now I know what to look for in a man when I'm looking for a good man. You were always the most hardworking man I knew you always did anything it took for your family and for that I thank you. When I walk down the aisle at my wedding, just know that there will be a seat there waiting for you and when I pick a guy to marry I will make sure that he's just like you. The reason I will make sure this mystery guy is like you is because you always treated my mom with such love and care. Daddy you are so amazing that words can't even describe not even the word amazing can describe how great you were and still are. Whenever i didn't feel beautiful if you told me i looked beautiful I would believe you and somehow feel it because every word you say is the truth. I am going to miss seeing your face in the crowds at my volleyball games and I'm also going to miss seeing your smile or even giving you a basic hug or kiss even. God will always bring good people in your life to be an example for you to be like them and you were definitely that person for me. I am going to miss your jokes and the way you laughed. I am going to miss seeing your smile and the way you talk about sports. I will always look for you in the sunsets and even though I never liked golf I promise you I will play in honor of you and just know that I will use every tip and trick you taught me and try and make you proud. I hope you have a good time in heaven and dance with the lord until I one day go and see you there and dance with you both. I will be taking care of my mom for you as I know you would want me to. Overall I just hope you know that I love you forever infinity and I'm going to miss seeing you wink at me and tell me you love me or even walk in the grocery store with me. There's so much for me to say but i just want you to know that I love you forever until I die and one day meet you again in the sky. Please make the sky nice and bright for me until I can come up there with you to help make it brighter with you. I love you always no matter what circumstances come our ways. I already know I have a beautiful handsome guardian angel watching over me. Thank you for being my dad and the best dad anyone could wish for. You were such a good dad that if I could clone you and give girls who don't have a dad or the best dad one of you I would that's how amazing you are. I love you dad and I'll meet you in the sky soon, love you.
Love Khloe
